GAB-STAR OF THE WEEK: Keke Palmer
I have introduced this new part to my blog called GAB-Star of the Week where I will be profiling international and local stars that are good to talk about weekly.
Young lady who seems to be making waves in the US and all round the world. She was born Lauren Keyana "Keke" Palmer on August 26, 1993, and now she is an American SAG Award-nominated NAACP Image Award-winning actress and singer.
She is best known for playing the title role in the 2006 film Akeelah and the Bee and playing the title character in True Jackson, VP. She also starred as Jasmine Plummer in the 2008 biopic The Longshots.
Palmer made her acting debut in the movie Barbershop as Gina's niece, and between 2004 and 2006, she appeared in episodes of several television series, including Cold Case, Strong Medicine, ER, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Just Jordan, and was subsequently cast in two films released in 2006: playing a supporting part in Madea's Family Reunion and starring as the lead character, Akeelah Anderson, a young girl from South Los Angeles who attempts to win a spelling bee, in Akeelah and the Bee. Akeelah and the Bee was released on April 28, 2006, and Palmer's performance has received several positive notices, including film critic Roger Ebert's comment that she deserved consideration for an Academy Award for Best Actress.[5]
On a recent interview with Seventeen Magazine, she was painted as the most down to earth child that cares more about cute than the expensiveness and brand of the items she buys.

What was your biggest splurge item ever?
KR: I like True Religion jeans, and they’re all around $220 to $230. One time I bought a guy pair of True Religion jeans and wore them, a little bit baggy, but cute at the same time. I also love J Brand’s stitching, it’s perfect with any outfit. With J Brand, the quality is good, so you’re getting what you pay for.
What do you wear to feel hot on the red carpet?
KR: I never try to be too sexy. People know when you’re not comfortable and trying to be sexy. I always try to do an outfit that is cute but sweet and shows my figure so that it looks my age.
What are your three go-to beauty products?
KR: This really cool Maybelline mascara that comes in a crystal red-and-green bottle. My Lip Smackers chapstick. It leaves a little tint. You don’t need to put any lip gloss over it. I also use a MAC lip gloss. I’m all about blending, and with MAC, you can make any color work.
What’s your best hair tip or secret?
KR: I don’t curl my hair. In fact, I don’t know how to. What I do [after a professional] curls my hair, I twist it and pin it down at night. When I wake up in the morning, I shake it and I can keep the same curls. It really works!
