Is Shelby Related To Jj The Boss

Despite her mother’s insistence to get on welfare, Precious goes to the location of the alternative school and enrolls. She meets her new teacher, Ms. Blu Rain, as well as several other girls who all come from troubled backgrounds and are looking to get their GED to advance their educations. Precious’s life begins to turn around when she slowly starts to learn to read and write with the help of Ms. Rain and finds herself inspired by her. While she learns, she starts to meet with social worker Ms. Weiss, who learns about the sexual assault in the household when Precious reveals who fathered her children.

After riding that three-week wave of success, Precious began to see a decrease in box office earnings. Brandon Grey of Box Office Mojo described Precious as having had a “robust expansion” in its second week of release, and he confirmed that the film holds the record for having the second-highest grossing weekend for a movie playing at fewer than 200 sites, behind only Paranormal Activity. Precious grossed a total of $40,320,285 in over six weeks of release. The film opened at ninth place in the United Kingdom, with revenues totaling £259,000 in its opening weekend from a limited release of 47 cinemas, generating a £5,552 screen average.

Precious also received some negative responses from critics. Writing for the New York Press, Armond White compared the film to the landmark but controversial The Birth of a Nation (1915) as “demeaning the idea of black American life,” calling it “an orgy of prurience” and the “con job of the year.” He further characterized the source novel as a relic of 1990s identity politics and noted that the film “casts light-skinned actors as kind […] and dark-skinned actors as terrors.” In two separate articles, writers for The New York Times cited White’s article as the most powerful negative review of Precious, adding that in a recent interview he had remarked that the film’s popularity is a result of the “fact” that “black pathology sells.” Courtland Milloy, of The Washington Post said Precious was “a film of prurient interest that has about as much redeeming social value as a porn flick.” David Edelstein, of New York Magazine commented that, while the film has “elements” that are “powerful and shocking,” he felt the movie was “programmed”, and that the film had “its own study guide.” Keith Uhlich of Time Out New York felt that the film did not live up to its “long hype”, and felt that it was “bewildering” to discover the film’s praise at the Sundance Film Festival, because Uhlich characterized the film as having “shrug-worthiness.” Peter Bradshaw wrote in The Guardian that the film catalogues a “horrendous, unending nightmare of abuse” and then abruptly turns into something resembling the 1980s musical Fame. Bradshaw commended the film’s acting and energy, but said it was not quite the “transcendent masterpiece” some had made it out to be. Sukhdev Sandhu wrote in The Daily Telegraph that he found the film “a dispiriting mix of cliché and melodrama,” although he acknowledged that Precious does feature some superb acting.Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised Mo’Nique and Sidibe’s performances. Ebert described Mo’Nique’s performance as being “frighteningly convincing” and felt that “the film is a tribute to Sidibe’s ability to engage our empathy” because she “completely creates the Precious character.” He noted that Carey and Patton “are equal with Sidibe in screen impact.” Ebert praised Daniels because, rather than casting the actors for their names, “he was able to see beneath the surface and trust that they had within the emotional resources to play these women, and he was right.” Betsey Sharkey, of the Los Angeles Times described the film as being a “rough-cut diamond… [A] rare blend of pure entertainment and dark social commentary, it is a shockingly raw, surprisingly irreverent and absolutely unforgettable story.” Claudia Puig of USA Today said that while there are “melodramatic moments” in the film, the cast gives “remarkable performances” to show audiences the film’s “inspiring message.” Peter Travers, of Rolling Stone called Mo’Nique “dynamite,” a performance that “tears at your heart.”

John Anderson of Variety said “to simply call it harrowing or unsparing doesn’t quite cut it,” having felt that the film is “courageous and uncompromising, a shaken cocktail of debasement and elation, despair and hope.” Anderson cited Carey’s performance as “pitch perfect” and Patton’s role as Ms. Blu Rain as “disarming.” Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly praised Carey’s performance, describing it as having been “an authentically deglammed compassion” and praised the film for capturing “how a lost girl rouses herself from the dead” and for Daniels showing “unflinching courage as a filmmaker by going this deep into the pathologies that may still linger in the closets of some impoverished inner-city lives.” Gleiberman described the film as being a movie “that makes you think, ‘There but for the grace of God go I.’ […] It’s a potent and moving experience, because by the end you feel you’ve witnessed nothing less than the birth of a soul”, and felt that the “final scene of revelation” between Sidibe’s and Mo’Nique’s characters was strong enough to be able to leave viewers “tearful, shaken, [and] dazed with pity and terror.” He identified how Daniels uses one of the rich scenes created by Fletcher to position Mo’Nique in a painful confrontation with Sidibe that results in a masterful and thought-provoking performance that delivers the final “push” needed by Sidibe: “The more Precious tries to get away from her mother, the more she’s pulled back”.Precious received favorable reviews from film critics, particularly for Sidibe’s and Mo’Nique’s performances. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 92% of 238 critics gave the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.80/10. The site’s consensus is that “Precious is a grim yet ultimately triumphant film about abuse and inner-city life, largely bolstered by exceptional performances from its cast.” Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, gave the film a rating score of 79 based on 36 reviews, indicating “Generally favorable reviews.”

Erin Aubry Kaplan wrote on Salon.com that the question posed by the film is how to assess the “hopeless story of a ghetto teen… in the Age of Obama.” She went on to say that “‘Precious’ proves you don’t always have to choose between artistic and commercial success; the film’s first opening weekend was record-breaking. It’s a sign how much we needed to tell this story. And, perhaps, how many stories there are left to tell.”

Precious, then without a distributor, premiered to acclaim at both the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, under its original title of Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire. At Sundance, it won the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize for best drama, as well as a Special Jury Prize for supporting actress Mo’Nique. After Precious’s screening at Sundance in January 2009, Tyler Perry announced that he and Oprah Winfrey would be providing promotional assistance to the film, which was released through Lionsgate Entertainment. Precious won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The film’s title was changed from Push to Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, to avoid confusion with the 2009 action film Push. Precious was also an official selection at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival (particularly the un certain regard section).

Winfrey used her status as both a celebrity and a media personality to give the film what was described by Ben Child of The Guardian, as a “high-profile promotional push.” At a press conference Winfrey announced her intention to lead a promotional campaign on behalf of Precious along with her other various platforms, hoping to be able to “bring in different audiences” by promoting the film on her show, in her magazine and on her satellite-radio channel. Katie Walmsley of CNN remarked, based on the film’s positive reception at the Toronto Film Festival, that the film “at the very least, the [Toronto] award will guarantee “Precious” substantial distribution, as well as exposure for two-time director Daniels.” The trailer for Precious was shown during previews of the film’s producer Perry’s film I Can Do Bad All By Myself in September 2009.Mary Pols of Time praised the film’s fantasy sequences for being able to show the audience a “joyous Wizard of Oz energy” that is able to “open the door into Precious’s mind in a way even [the author] Sapphire couldn’t.” Pols felt that, while not implying that the film has “a lack of compelling emotional material” but that the film’s “few weak moments” are the “ones that dovetail with typical inspirational stories.” Marshall Fine of The Huffington Post praised the film as being “a film that doesn’t shy away from the depths to which human beings can sink, but it also shows the strength and resilience of which we are capable, even at our lowest moments.” Scott Mendelson, also of The Huffington Post, felt that when you put the “glaring issues aside,” the film “still works as a potent character study and a glimpse inside a world we’d rather pretend does not exist in America.” But while the film “succeeds as a powerful acting treat and a potent character study, there are some major narrative issues that prevent the film from being an accidental masterpiece.” Mendelson described the film as being “an acting powerhouse” based on its many emotional themes.

Lionsgate, in association with Matriarch/Geffen Records released the soundtrack online as a digital download on November 3, 2009, and in stores on November 23. Daniels confirmed that Mary J. Blige’s “I Can See in Color” song would be released as a single from the soundtrack. The song was written by Blige, Raphael Saadiq and LaNeah Menzies and is produced by Raphael Saadiq. The soundtrack consists of various artists (Labelle, Donna Allen, Jean Carn, Sunny Gale, and MFSB); with some artists having recorded songs that were covers and other songs that were recorded specifically for the album. The album received positive praise; mainly the song “I Can See In Color” – which was released as a single – that was recorded and co-written by Blige. The trailer features the song “Destiny” taken from Blige’s 2001 album No More Drama. A song titled “My Good Lovin’ (Back Like That Remix)”, featuring Da Brat and Lil’ Mo, was featured in the film but exempted from the soundtrack.Precious received nominations from the 67th Annual Golden Globes for the film and for the performances of Mo’Nique and Sidibe; Mo’Nique won Best Supporting Actress.

Precious received dozens of nominations in award categories, including six Academy Award nominations, not only for the film itself but for the cast’s performances, the direction and cinematography, and the adaptation of the novel to the screenplay. Director Lee Daniels won the People’s Choice Award, an award given by audience members at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. Daniels won both awards for which he was nominated at the San Sebastián International Film Festival—the TVE Otra Mirada Award and the Audience Award. He was also nominated in the category of Bronze Horse at the Stockholm Film Festival, and won the Best Feature Film Award at the Hawaii International Film Festival.

People Magazine Daily noted that the film “mainly had a music supervised soundtrack, but not much of a score, so there were popular songs placed in the movie.” Peter Travers, of Rolling Stone, described “I Can See In Color” as being “a knockout song…expressing the goal of Precious to see the world in color.”

In 1987, 16-year-old Claireece “Precious” Jones lives in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood with her unemployed mother, Mary, who has long subjected her to physical and verbal abuse. Precious has also been raped by her now-absent father, Carl, resulting in two pregnancies. The family resides in a Section 8 tenement and survives on welfare. Precious’s first child, a daughter named “Mongo” (short for Mongoloid), has Down syndrome and is being cared for by Precious’s grandmother. However, Mary forces the family to pretend that Mongo lives with her and Precious so she can receive extra money from the government. When Precious’s second pregnancy is discovered, her junior high principal, Mrs. Lichtenstein, arranges for her to attend an alternative school program called Each One Teach One, where she hopes Precious can change her life’s direction. Precious finds a way out of her traumatic daily life by escaping into daydreams in which she is loved and appreciated.Daniels had said that he was attracted to the initial novel based on how “raw and honest” it felt. In an interview with AMC, he noted that reading the book brought back a memory from his childhood of a young abused girl who knocked on his family’s door, claiming that her mom was going to kill her. Daniels recalls that the incident was the first time he saw his mother frightened, specifically noting the helplessness of the situation, and stating “she knew that she’d have to send this little girl home, and that was what disturbed her — that she couldn’t save her. She tried to make it easier for her. That’s all she could do.” In creating the movie, Daniels hoped that the experience would be cathartic and that “maybe I could heal. And maybe I could heal other people, too.” Another stated goal Daniels had was to challenge the general public’s perception of incest.

Precious received five awards at the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards (ISA) in the categories for Best Film, Best First Screenplay, Best Direction, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.On February 2, 2010, the film received Academy Award nominations at the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress (Sidibe), Best Supporting Actress (Mo’Nique), Best Director (Daniels), Best Adapted Screenplay (Fletcher), and Best Film Editing (Klotz). On March 7, 2010, Mo’Nique and Fletcher won Academy Awards in their respective categories. The film was also nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for “Outstanding Film – Wide Release” during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

A. O. Scott identified the script’s precise use of force and adept use of language, including a memorable line created by Fletcher for the adaptation: a “risky, remarkable film adaptation, written by Geoffrey Fletcher, the facts of Precious’s life are also laid out with unsparing force (though not in overly graphic detail). But just as Push achieves an eloquence that makes it far more than a fictional diary of extreme dysfunction, so too does Precious avoid the traps of well-meaning, preachy lower-depths realism. It howls and stammers, but it also sings…Inarticulate and emotionally shut down, her massive body at once a prison and a hiding place, Precious is also perceptive and shrewd, possessed of talents visible only to those who bother to look. At its plainest and most persuasive, her story is that of a writer discovering a voice. ‘These people talked like TV stations I didn’t even watch,’ she remarks of Ms. Rain and her lover (Kimberly Russell), displaying her awakening literary intelligence even as she marvels at the discovery of her ignorance.”

Once discharged from the hospital, Precious returns home where Mary is sitting, presumably waiting for her. Mary asks to hold Abdul, but when Precious’s back is turned, she purposely drops Abdul who cries upon impact. Mary attacks Precious, angrily declaring Precious’s revelation about the abuse has resulted in termination of welfare payments. After Mary and Precious fight, Precious throws her against a wall, retrieves Abdul, and flees the apartment. After falling down the stairs, Precious and Abdul are nearly killed when Mary deliberately tries to drop her television set on them from the top of a stairwell. Precious eventually breaks into her school classroom for shelter. When Ms. Rain discovers Precious and Abdul sleeping the next morning, she frantically calls local shelters looking for a safe place for Precious and Abdul to live, but they end up staying with Ms. Rain and her live-in girlfriend for the holiday. The next morning, Ms. Rain takes Precious and Abdul to find assistance. Precious is able to continue her schooling while raising Abdul in a halfway house.

Precious was considered for the BAFTA awards in several categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Leading Actress (Sidibe), and Best Supporting Actress (Mo’Nique).The film was released on DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc formats on March 9, 2010, reaching number one on the top DVD sales chart in the United States with 1.5 million DVDs sold in its first week of release. It also reached the top position on the rental charts for iTunes and Amazon.com.

The film was nominated in all three major categories at the 2009 Screen Actor Guild Awards: Best Cast, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress (in which Mo’Nique won). Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, or simply Precious, is a 2009 American drama film, directed and co-produced by Lee Daniels. Its script was written by Geoffrey S. Fletcher, adapted from the 1996 novel Push by Sapphire. The film stars Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique, alongside Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd, and Lenny Kravitz. This marked the acting debut of Sidibe, who portrays a young woman struggling against poverty and abuse. Filming took place in New York City from October to November 2007. Lionsgate gave the film a limited release in North America on November 6, 2009, with an expanded release on November 20. Precious received widespread critical acclaim; the performances of Sidibe and Mo’Nique, the story, and its message were highly praised. The film was a box office success, earning over $63 million on a $10 million budget.After Precious was screened at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in January, it was picked up for distribution by Lions Gate Entertainment and received promotional assistance from Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Tyler Perry’s 34th Street Films. Precious was the first theatrical film to be affiliated with Perry’s company. In February 2009, Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company filed lawsuits contesting ownership of the rights to release Precious. Both companies claim that they had purchased distribution rights to Precious: The Weinstein Company claimed that they had “secured” their rights while Lionsgate stated that they owned the rights to the film’s distribution in North America. Precious’s sales agent Cinetic Media denied Weinstein’s claims, stating that they failed to finalize the deal.

Mary soon returns to inform Precious of her father’s death from AIDS. Precious later learns that she is HIV-positive, though Abdul is not. Feeling dejected, Precious distracts Ms. Weiss and steals her case file from her office. As she shares the details of her file with her fellow students, she begins to hope for the future. Later, Precious meets with her mother, who brings Mongo to Ms. Weiss’s office. Ms. Weiss confronts Mary about her and Carl’s abuse of Precious, going back to when Precious was a toddler. Mary tearfully confesses that she always hated Precious for “stealing her man” by “letting him” abuse her and for eventually “making him leave.” Precious tells Mary that she finally sees her for who she really is and severs ties with her, leaving with both Mongo and Abdul. Mary begs Ms. Weiss to retrieve her daughter and grandchildren, but Ms. Weiss silently rejects her and walks away, leaving a distraught Mary alone and broken.The film was co-produced by Daniels’s company, Lee Daniels Entertainment, and the Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness-owned Smokewood Entertainment Group. The two production companies had previously collaborated with Daniels on Tennessee (2008). Precious had, in total, thirteen producers: Daniels, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Heller, Tyler Perry, Lisa Cortes, Gary Magness, Valerie Hoffman, Asger Hussain, Mark G. Mathis, Andrew Sforzini, Bergen Swason, Simone Sheffield and Sarah Siegel-Magness. Initially, Daniels did not expect the movie to generate much buzz, expecting the movie to go straight to video, stating “That it made it to the big screen says there was an angel looking after me.” Principal photography began on October 24, 2007 and concluded on November 24, 2007. It took place on location in various parts of New York City. Despite the dark subject matter, Sidibe has stated that the mood on the set was lighthearted, that “Every day was a party” and that the cast would frequently sing and tell jokes to “lighten the atmosphere.” The production budget was $10 million.

Conversely, reflecting the transformation from script to screen, Dana Stevens of Slate disagreed with Gleiberman’s suggestion that the “film makes you think” and argued that the film’s “eagerness” to “drag” the audience “through the lower depths of human experience” leaves little space for independent “conclusions”. Stevens noted that, while the film is about improvement and self-actualization, “it wields an awfully large cudgel”, in contrast to Scott’s view of balance: “unsparing force (though not in overly graphic detail)”. Perhaps sharing Mathews’s view regarding the daunting challenge of adapting the harsh story of Push, Stevens observed that “Daniels and Fletcher no doubt intended for their film to lend a voice to the kind of protagonist too often excluded from American movie screens: a poor, black, overweight single mother from the inner city.”The racers on “Street Outlaws” use a range of different cars, from old muscle cars to modern high-performance vehicles. Many of the cars have been heavily modified for racing and feature powerful engines, custom suspension setups, and other performance upgrades. Yes, the show has faced criticism for promoting illegal street racing and unsafe driving practices.

The American television personality had seven children prior to meeting his wife, Trisha. Little is known about JJ Da Boss’ kids except for his eldest son Josh Day, aka Doughboy. He also races in the television series. Josh is married to a woman named Chelsea, and the couple has two children, Kamden and Novaleigh.What happened to Trisha Wayne on Street Outlaws?

Tricia is longtime friends with fellow female racer Precious Cooper. The ladies, along with JJ, have been pals since childhood, and Precious is even the godmother of Tricia’s children.Jul 31, 2020

JJ Da Boss Wiki: Details on his Early Life and Parents Joseph Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, the only child of Barbara Day and her husband David Day. His mother is a Pentecostal. His real name is Jonathan Day.Oct 8, 2020The racer has a total of 11 children and five grandchildren, but not all of them are with his current wife, Tricia Day, who is also a race car driver who goes by the nickname of “Midget.” He had four of his kids with Tricia, and they’re quite young, so his grandkids are from his other seven children he had before he …Jul 31, 2020

Tricia is the wife of JJ Da Boss. She is also known by her racing name as “Midget.” Tricia is an integral part of the team and she brings her years of experience and perky personality to the show. Precious is JJs cousin. If you couldn’t yet tell, this is a family affair. This might just be the craziest team of drivers in the nation! The Memphis team, lead by JJ Da Boss has been racing together for what feels like forever and they have one rule – the team is everything. They never race each other, focusing instead on taking money from out-of-towners. He also wouldn’t dream of abandoning his crew, even if it meant a bigger payday. “No amount of money could hire me to go and be with another group or another city,” JJ shared. “I’d rather stay in Memphis if I didn’t get paid a dollar. Just to do it for the love.”As the 46-year-old said, he isn’t in it for the money — which is why you won’t see him racing around a professional track. “Me, personally, and my family, we’re not millionaires, and we could never buy the kind of things it takes to go to a track and run that crazy-fast time,” JJ explained to Dragzine.

The ladies, along with JJ, have been pals since childhood, and Precious is even the godmother of Tricia’s children. “In our town, everybody street races,” JJ told Monsters & Critics. “It’s what we done on Sundays… After you get out of church, go to the spot and everybody’s out there street racing.” Naturally, he was the one who introduced her to street racing. “[JJ] asked me one day if I wanted to try it,” Tricia recalled. “I raced and it’s been a journey ever since.” In a February 2018 interview, JJ Da Boss (whose real name is Jonathan Day) revealed that he and Tricia have “been together for about 10 years.” Though they grew up in the same 700-person town outside of Memphis, they didn’t become a couple until JJ was in his 30s — and a father of seven. The duo went on to have four children: three daughters and one son. “We don’t script anything, you know?” JJ said of their TV series. “I don’t race for a living. I race because I love it and it’s something I believe in.” “At first, she tore up a lot of stuff and cost us a lot of money,” JJ admitted. But in the end, none of that really mattered. “I love Trish. I feel like she saved me and my life,” he continued. “She brought a lot of happiness to my life. She got me on the right path.” Tricia added, “We go together like a hand and a glove.”As for JJ and Precious, the pair has and always will be strictly platonic. “She helps take care of all of my bills. She helps me as much as I help her. It’s just kind of a neutral respect,” he stated. “Nothing crazy.”One of the reasons we love the Discovery Channel spinoff Street Outlaws: Memphis is that it highlights some kickass female drivers, one of which is Tricia Day — nicknamed “Midget” because of her petite stature. She has a special connection to the Tennessee-based street racing crew.Plenty of information can be gathered from Chelsea’s Instagram, including some of the things that are apparently most near and dear to her heart. The racer constantly posts photos of herself with her two children as well as with Joshua and their dog, showing a clear passion for her family.

As the years went on and she spent more time surrounded by racers, Chelsea cultivated her own skills as a driver and now pilots a turquoise muscle car named TomKat, which has led her to many victories. It seems like she has also may have recently purchased another race car, a white 1973 Camaro, per another social media post.With that being said, who exactly is Chelsea, and what has she shared with fans about her life both on and off the racetrack? Here’s a breakdown of the known details surrounding the Street Outlaws Memphis star.

As she has described on Street Outlaws Memphis, racing runs in the Day family, and she took to the sport from a young age. Nicknamed “Chelarilla,” Chelsea’s affinity for racing began before she even took the wheel of her own car.During the course of the fifth season of Street Outlaws Memphis, and thanks in part to her husband’s alleged back injury, Chelsea Day has become a much more present face on the program and opened up a lot more to fans who are curious about who exactly she is. Born on Jan. 12, 1994, Chelsea is 27 years old and the proud mother of two children, Kamden, 6, and Novaleigh, 4.

Indeed, she used to help her older sister and fellow famed racer, Precious Cooper, prepare for races.
