KIMBERLY ELISE JOINS 'HANDS'

Kimberly Elise recently signed on to join the cast of the upcoming TV movie "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story." According to the TNT, Elise is set to play the role of Sonya Carson, "a single mother who inspired her son to study and work hard so that he could rise above their inner-city roots, eventually becoming a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon."

As I mentioned previously, Cuba Gooding Jr. will be playing the role of Dr. Carson and the film is scheduled to broadcast early next year.
