Laurence Fishburne and Joss Stone Go Platinum!

Laurence Fishburne

Here is a list of 4 Celebrities who went Platinum the week of August 4th:

Laurence Fishburne – The actor is in talks to replace William Peterson as the star of CBS’s number one drama “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” Fishburne who was nominated for an Oscar for “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” has a long list of film credits including: "The Matrix Trilogy," "21," "Bobby," "Mission Impossible III" and "Searching for Bobby Fischer." Peterson is leaving the show midseason to pursue other opportunities. It would be a crime if Fishburne didn’t take the role…

Melissa Lawson – The 32 year-old mother of five was the winner of “Nashville Star.” “Nashville star,” country music’s version of “American Idol” is in its sixth season and aired on NBC. Lawson sang her first hit single “What If It All Goes Right” to win the competition. She will also get to perform at the Summer Olympics in Beijing on August 12th, the “Today Show” will air the performance live. Country Music and Beijing – now there is an unlikely pair…

Manny Ramirez – The former Boston Red Sox star was traded this past week to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ramirez won two World Series titles with the Red Sox and has over 500 career home runs and 2000 career hits. Ramirez has already hit two home runs as a Dodger and is batting over .500. The 36 year-old left fielder will be a free agent this coming summer. This trade appears to be a home run…

Joss Stone – The British singer has landed a role in Showtime and BBC’s “The Tudors.” Stone is set to play Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. “The Tudors” is beginning its 3rd season. Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays Henry VIII. Anne of Cleves is suppose to be plain looking, which will mean the beautiful songstress will have to undergo a ton of make-up to look the part. Maybe she can also guest star on “Ugly Betty” too…
