DAILY TRANSRACIAL: The Cast of Precious

The buzz-meter is blaring non-stop about the upcoming indie film Precious — which stars an impressive roster of Transracial talent including Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey and the uber-lovely Paula Patton (all above, yesterday, along with star Monique and director Lee Daniels).

The crew were snapped yesterday in Cannes enjoying some fruity-flavored down-time at Vitamin Water’s La Plage chill-out zone.

How refreshing!

Already a surprise success at Sundance, Precious is based on the book Push by poet-author Sapphire and tells the story of a young and pregnant African-American girl looking to escape the cycle of poverty, violence and hopelessness.

Talk is that Monique’s performance may be Oscar-worthy as an abusive mother.

We cannot wait.
