According to a recent interview with Vibe Magazine, Migos’ Quavo said that following his role in the new film Praise This, he’s open to making a gospel album.

Starring the likes of Chloe Bailey, Anjelika Washington, Druski, Tristan Mack Wilds, and many more seasoned actors, Quavo’s acting debut has been very pivotal in his career. It seems to be opening up more creative possibilities after the loss of Takeoff.

Speaking on how he initially landed the role, Quavo said, “I was surprised. I’ve been going at Will [Packer] for a long time, for about four years now,” he recalled. “We’re good friends. I’ve been telling him to put me in something. He was just like, ‘Wait for the right time, wait for the right time.’ The right timing came, Praise This, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

When speaking on the likelihood of a gospel album , Quavo said, “I wouldn’t mind, but I like working with gospel artists. I think that they feel that’s how they got it. And I got it out the mud in another different lane. But whenever we cross [paths] and get together, I think, ‘Yes, we should do something.’ I think I should do a collab, yeah.”

R&B legend Stephanie Mills is back acting again.  She starred in Lifetime’s newest film, Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.  The movie premiered this past weekend on the popular network. 

The Grammy-winning artist takes the main role as Birdie Moore, a reality TV star, which her life starts to unravel after learning a host of family secrets.  One highlight in the film is that Mills and another Grammy winner, Erica Campbell, get to put their singing abilities on display.  Viewers will be in for a treat.

Lifetime has been producing movies regarding anthology in a seven-part series titled, Seven Deadly Sins.  The movie series is inspired by the novels of Victoria Christopher Murray and executive produced by Bishop T.D. Jakes.  Prior to Pride, greed, envy, wrath, and lust have been the main topics of the series.

This is the first time the “Never Knew Love Like This Before” singer has had the lead role in a television movie.  Her first time acting was as Dorothy in the original “The Wiz” on Broadway.  Mills says she took the role of Birdie Moore because Birdie and she have gone through similar experiences in life.

“I couldn’t relate to the reality thing because I don’t like reality TV.  But I could relate to what was going on personally.  I could definitely relate to being a mother loving her son so much that she wanted to cover up whatever he was doing.  I have a son who is 22 years old and he cons me every day.”

Today, Kim posted a video to her 352 million followers on Instagram, revealing she will be joining the next season of American Horror Story on FX. The brief trailer showed Kim Kardashian’s name alongside actress and TikTok star Emma Roberts, who also boasts a huge online presence, including 19.7 million followers on Instagram.

The teaser included a creepy version of “Rock-a-bye, Baby,” at the end revealing a voice that whispers, “Emma and Kim are delicate.”

While Kim has most famously been known for her role on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which recently celebrated its 20th season, now, it looks like she’s diving head first into scripted television. 

Ryan Murphy, writer and director of American Horror Story, states, “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family. Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”

Halley Fieffer has been appointed the sole showrunner for this chapter of AHS. Allegedly, Murphy was impressed by Kim’s exciting hosting gig on Saturday Night Live back in 2021 and reached out last summer to have her join AHS.

Last month, Creed supporting actor Jonathan Majors was accused of domestic assault, but the estranged girlfriend has since retracted her accusations. Those allegations ran parallel with the promotion of the third installment of the boxing flick, with many people criticizing both Majors and Michael B. Jordan’s appearances at public events. Now, Dipset general Cam’Ron said that his sole reason for not watching the new Creed movie was because of a photo shoot featuring Jordan and Majors.

Cam took to IG to post an image from the shoot between the two actors, with the caption reading, “This was the reason I didn’t see ‘Creed.’”

Even Fabolous chimed in on the post, saying, “This was a funny promo shoot for a boxing movie.”

Game of Thrones series are continuing to roll out. According to Variety, HBO is hunting a new series that would detail Aegon I Targaryen’s Westeros conquest.

Details of the forthcoming series are pretty slim as the show is in the very early stages and could add in a feature film that would introduce the new series.

The story would follow how Aegon and his sister-wives Visenya and Raeyns conquered six of the seven kingdoms, 300 years prior to the events of the original Game of Thrones series.

HBO did not offer a comment on the forthcoming series.

In Ghost Season 2, Reggie “Redman” Noble portrayed the character Theo, but social media was wondering why the MC has been replaced on the show?

Fans were shocked to see Theo return in season 3, portrayed by another actor. Jordan Mahome has taken over as Davis’ older brother. The Get Down actor does an amazing job in the role. However, fans were shocked.

“Come on #Power y’all really thought y’all could switch out Redman character and we wouldn’t notice as black viewers,” one fan said on Twitter.

Neither showrunner Brett Mahoney, who took over for Courtney Kemp, nor executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has released a statement about Redman’s absence. However, it’s likely that this was a matter of scheduling conflicts.

Still, fans are eager to see how things with Theo and Davis play out, especially since Saxe (Shane Johnson) now knows the truth about his business partner’s connection to Theo.

It was originally the idea of series creator Courtney A. Kemp to bring in Redman to portray Method Man’s brother. The latter immediately liked the idea and gave his approval. After all, he and Redman have worked on multiple projects together in the past. “It’s always dope to work with somebody you’ve worked with over the years, but just not somebody that you’ve always worked with, but someone that you trust as far as stage performances and things like that,” Method Man explained in an interview with Vibe. “So anytime you put Redman and Method Man on-screen together, not only are you going to get chemistry, you going to get synergy, as well as professionalism.”

Film & Television executive James Shin serves as the executive producer for FX’s hit series DAVE. 

The series, which has become the network’s most-watched comedy series to date, follows the imagined, but eccentric day-to-day life of viral rapper Lil Dicky, also know as DAVE. 

Season 2 ended with DAVE’s VMA performance debut and the release of his debut album, despite its coinciding release date with Ariana Grande. While both are milestones for DAVE, Grande’s same-day release frustrates DAVE. He is later reminded of his success by his close friend and hype-man GaTa. 

According to executive producer James Shin, Season 3 will pick up exactly “where we left off” — on tour. 

“Dave is at a level now where he has achieved some success, but has broken up with his ex-girlfriend,” says Shin. “Now he’s in a reclamation process of what is important to him as he is in a constant pursuit of love. We’ll see that journey this season, while he is on tour.” 

Shin’s elusive role as EP is rooted in service. From facilitating the biggest names in entertainment for cameos, to putting out fires, a dull moment is few and far between. 

“It’s about letting Dave and the writers run rampant with their ideas because there is an inherent trust there,” says Shin. 

Dave has been nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award and an Art Directors Guild Awards. While the nods speak for itself , accolades are no primary concern for Shine. Instead, the most rewarding aspect lies within a show’s impact on the public. 

“Just to even hear a few fans say how much an episode impacted them is rewarding,” Shin says. 

With a mission to involve SB Projects with film and television projects that are organically diverse, Shin is adamant in executing his objective. Dave is one prime example.

Season 3 of Dave premieres on April 5.

After Wednesday’s (Mar. 30) episode, Snowfall only has three episodes left, but that doesn’t mean the end of the Los Angeles world we have come to know and love.

According to Deadline, a spinoff series of Snowfall surrounding the current character Wanda, ported by Gail Bean, is in the early stages of development.

The story would follow the original story in Los Angeles, continuing on into the 1990s with the rise of the gangster rap era and rivalries of Bloods and Crips. The series would have Wanda as the connection between the two series and would spawn new main characters. Any carryovers from the current series are unknown.

The show would have Malcolm Spellman as the pilot pen and executive producer. Returning executive producers would be Snowfall co-creator and showrunner Dave Andron, Trevor Engelson, Michael London, and Tommy Schlamme. John Singleton would posthumously receive credit, along with Eric Amadio and Evan Silverberg.

One of the most popular series to watch right now is The Night Agent. The uber-popular Netflix series has been renewed for season 2 at Netflix.

According to Variety, The Night Agent has already logged 168.71 million hours viewed, pushing the series up the streamer’s top 10 charts.

“The last week has been a whirlwind as we’ve finally been able to share ‘The Night Agent’ with the world,” said series creator Shawn Ryan. “To see the tremendous reaction to the show has been a great joy and is a credit to our cast, our writers, our directors, our crew and our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix. We couldn’t be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on Season 2 to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans.”

The series is based on a novel of the same name and depicts a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.” The second season will have 10 episodes.

Families have gathered for six years to watch The Saints grow their drug empire every Wednesday evening. What started as a family business quickly became a civil war, with Jerome and Franklin standing on both ends of the gun in season seven. A bullet wounded Jerome in the stomach after he swooned in Kane’s warehouse like a knight in shining armor. The OG’s passing left a void in Franklin and Louie’s hearts, but the former business partners are pointing fingers at each other. 

Twitter labeled Louie the show’s villain, but Angela Lewis doesn’t think her character did anything wrong. Lewis said, “I think Louie is the villain because she is not on Franklin’s side. But I don’t think Louie has done anything wrong, even with her going to Teddy. You know, people say she went behind his back. I look at it as she went over his head, and I think that’s why he’s mad. Because she went over his head and she did what was best for her. Let me remind everybody that this didn’t happen until after she was shot and almost killed because of something Franklin did.” 

Despite Louie and Franklin’s fractured relationship, Lewis’ character reflects the true story of the strong, no-nonsense women who were power players during the crack epidemic. Lewis admits to being “scared of everything” in real life. But her character gives her a strength she never knew she had. Lewis said, “[Louie] taught me to open my mouth and say what I want to say, what I don’t want to say, what I like, and what I don’t like, to be able to articulate my vision, even if the vision isn’t fully clear to myself.”

Angela Lewis virtually sat down with us ahead of the premiere of episode seven to discuss the impact her “Snowfall” character had on her life, John Singleton’s influence, and her next chapter.

The women have been carrying the final season on their backs and it’s a true reflection of the relationship dynamic between black men and women, particularly in low-income neighborhoods. Can you speak on the impact playing Louie had on your life and career?

What I learned about playing Louie is that you can’t play her from a place of fear, right? And, and I think historically in my life I’m afraid of everything. From bees to like, what if I turned the wrong way to like, oh, what if the ink pen dries out before I finish this? Whatever it is. Like I’m scared of everything. Louie put me in a position to be trying new things. From holding a gun to, you know, being gangster and how to do that and make sure I do it and look good, look cool, look like I know what I’m doing and all these things, right? In spite of that, if I am doing it from a place of fear, from a place of being back on my heels, it doesn’t work. 

Episode six was so intense! One highlight for me was that emotional scene between Jerome and Louie when she admitted that her ambition caused the war between him and his nephew. Many people on Twitter feel like Louie is the show’s villain. How do you feel about that?

I did a lot of work to be able to be deep in that space: In the space of like fear, but courageousness. In the space of feeling the pain. I think this is probably the most extreme situation she’s ever been in, but Louie is not a stranger to abuse. She’s not a stranger to not knowing if she’s gonna make it through a given situation, you know? And so I had to tap into that. What does that look like for her? What does it also look like? You know, Louie is a survivor. Someone asked me on online, ‘How come she didn’t just give up Buckley?’ And, you know, it wasn’t about Buckley. It was about, if I give, if I give him up, I’m dead right now. Louie doesn’t give up even when things look grim and looks like there’s no way out. I think she’s gonna stall it as long as she can, you know? Maybe she can find an escape. Maybe somebody, ie. Jerome will come looking for her. I think there’s always that little glimmer of hope for Louie that I’m gonna get out of this. How can I get out of this? So there was a lot of that. There was a lot of anger that this is happening to her. Anger that she knows Franklin is the one who gave her up and then when he walks in the door, she absolutely knows that. 

And so there’s anger towards the, you know, him for that. Um, just, it is a lot, you know, she, right before she, this happened to her, she and Jerome were on this precipice of, are we gonna make it?

Despite take accountability privately, Louie blames Franklin for EVERYTHING and wants revenge. I was a bit hopeful for reconciliation at the end of episode seven when Louie asked why’d he return for her, but it’s clear that she plans to help Teddy take Franklin out. Is there any possibility that you guys will bury the hatchet before someone gets killed?

I think Louie is the villain because she is not on Franklin’s side, but I don’t think Louie has done anything wrong, even with her going to Teddy. And, you know, people say she went behind his back. I look at it as she went over his head, and I think that’s why he’s mad. Because she went over his head and she did what was best for her. Now, let me remind everybody that this didn’t happen until after she was shot and almost killed because of something Franklin did. Up until that point, she had been undervalued. Louie has been his biggest asset, his biggest help, his biggest support. Every time she was asking for a pay cut on the price of the bricks he was like, “No.” She’s like, well, let me talk to Teddy to talk him down, “No.” You know, and not only that, but like screaming on her, so she wasn’t being heard. She wasn’t being seen. Now I’m almost dead cause of you, let me do my own thing. So I think her admission to Jerome about her ambition wasn’t an admission to this is my fault. The family is torn apart, the family is messed up. Her admission was, I have learned that I have value.

Thinking about the ending of “Snowfall” makes me emotional because the show is also one of John Singleton’s final contributions to the culture. What is a fond memory you share with him?

I would say the being in my power was my biggest lesson from him. Something that I’ll carry with me forever at work and at home, and as I’m navigating this crazy, crazy world. I just remember I had a birthday party and I invited everybody and he came and that meant a lot to me. I was like, “Wow, He showed up for me.” He didn’t have to do that. He’s a very, very busy man, and he came out for me. That really meant a lot. 

I want to backtrack to how you landed the role because according to reports, John Singleton had a Louie in mind. Reports claim Lauren London was handpicked to play Aunt Louie, but everything plays out the way it’s supposed to. How’d you ultimately get the job?

The pilot of “Snowfall” was shot twice. I auditioned for Snowfall in like 2016 or something like that. But I didn’t get it. So, you know, as actors, we audition for a lot of stuff and don’t get it, and then you keep it moving. So then a year later, when they came back across my desk, it was the same scene. You know, the, the scene where Louie is fighting off the porch and taking the earrings off. I was like, ‘I know I auditioned for this already.’ This is because you don’t forget a scene like this. My reps were like, well, that’s okay, just audition again. I was like, ‘Okay.’ So I auditioned and I got a callback, and then I got another call back, and then I eventually booked the role. I found out like a week later that I had booked the role. I had not heard of such a thing as in Hollywood. Oftentimes they shoot a pilot and for whatever reason it doesn’t work. It doesn’t go. So they scrap all the things and start building it again, and then they try again. So that’s what happened with Snowfall. They shot the pilot, it didn’t work, and then they just kind of dismantled it, put it back together, tried again, and then, and that was our pilot. Then it went and it went for six years. So I feel extremely fortunate, and you’re right. Things happen the way they’re supposed to happen, and I believe what’s yours is yours and nothing can stop that. I had no idea Snowfall was mine and Louie was mine, but here we are. . 

Were there any roles you previously auditioned for that you didn’t get and it turned out to be a huge role?

I can’t think of one in particular. But I had an odd experience: I went to the movies and I was watching The Wrestler and I was sitting there and I knew the scene. Like I knew what was about to happen. I kind of knew the lines. I was like, ‘Have I seen this movie before? No, I haven’t seen it.’ Then it occurred to me like two weeks later, I auditioned for that movie, and The Wrestler is like one of my favorites. I auditioned for all kinds of stuff: Big stuff, little stuff, the stuff you don’t think is gonna go, or you don’t think it’s gonna be a big deal, and then it is. Or you turn down something and you’re like, ‘Ah!’ I feel like with every decision I make, I always am considering everything: Do I like the project? Is it gonna be good money? Is it gonna be good timing for me and my family. There are so many things to consider. So if I say no or if I don’t get something, you know, well, if I don’t get it, then, you know, it wasn’t for me. It was for this person to enjoy this success and God bless ’em. And I have to know that my time is coming and it’s my time. My thing is my thing. What’s for me is for me, and if I say no to something and it blows up, then I have to know, well, I said no for a reason and be okay with it. Because if I’m walking around mad because I missed out on this thing, it’s like, well, I’m gonna just be mad and sad for the rest of my life. You gotta feel good about your decisions and feel good about knowing that you’re supported by God, by the universe. Whatever your thing is, you’re supported. And so there’s no need to worry, there’s no need to get upset, there’s no need to be feeling envious and all those things. Like what’s for you? It’s for you. 

What’s next for Angela once Snowfall ends and Louie’s chapter is closed?

Well, Angela’s gonna have this baby in the mid-Summer. So I’m just focusing on that right now. Focusing on finishing out “Snowfall” and bringing this new life to the world and being ready for that. And then, you know, we’ll see.

Gangsta Grillz creator DJ Drama is using his all-time favorite movie to promote his new album, I’m Really Like That, and nails his impersonation of the late Tupac Shakur, which could possibly land the legendary DJ/producer some roles on the silver screen himself!

Today, Drama unveiled his new Jim Jones-directed visual to the I’m Really Like That LP promo, recreating a very important plot twist in the movie Juice, where a couple from the quartet narrowly escaped becoming victims of a robbery gone bad.

Drama plays the memorable role of “Bishop” alongside the original cast; Omar Epps, Khalil Kain, and Jermaine Hopkins, who reprise all of their original, iconic roles. He even credits Epps’ portrayal of DJ Q for inspiring his real-life career as a legendary DJ!

Snoop Dogg has proven time and time again that he can do it all. The 51-year-old has his eyes set on making a cameo on Coronation Street. Coronation Street is a United Kingdom soap opera that has been running since the 1960s. It is the world’s longest-running TV soap opera.

The “Gin & Juice” rapper spoke with The Sun about his love for the show. “Coronation Street, I love it. If they call me, I’ll do it. I’ll play whenever they need,” Snoop said.

He went on to say he enjoys everything about the show.

“I love the cinematography, acting, the storylines, and just the reality.”

One actress on the show would undoubtedly love to have him on board. Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow in the soap, tells ITV studios how she feels about a Snoop Dogg cameo. “We really want that like, imagine. Get him in the Barlow’s or the Rovers,” she said.

Snoop has always loved the UK culture and the royal family. While accused of murder in 1993, the Long Beach rapper was banned from touring in the UK. Fortunately, Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren were big fans of Snoop and allowed him to perform there. She felt that he did nothing wrong in Britain. Snoop Dogg has always remembered this and even offered to perform at King Charles III’s coronation.

A-list celebrities such as Elton John, Adele, Harry Styles, and the Spice Girls have all been asked to perform at the prestigious event. Unfortunately, all artists were busy, so Snoop offered to step in.

The “Nuthin’ But A “G” Thang” rapper has also done a deal with London-based company, Roobet.  Roobet is a crypto casino they have partnered with Snoop Dogg for a new game titled, Hotbox.

R&B/Pop singer Jason Derulo is keeping busy these days.  He now has a new talent show called Project Icon.  Formed with his business partner, Frank Harris, the “Wiggle” singer wanted the talent show to be more relatable to the music industry. 

Unlike other talent-seeking shows, Project Icon focuses on helping the contestants make music that performs well on social media. They also teach the artists how to perfect their brands.

The ten contestants will also be critiqued on their interview skills and relatability.  The winner of Project Icon will record a song with Derulo and perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.  The winner will also be signed to Derulo’s label, Future History.

Based in the UK, Project Icon will air six episodes starting on March 26th on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.  The contestants are all from the UK as they specialize in different genres such as country, hip hop, rock, and R&B.  Some of the artists already have a fan base, and some are unknown. They will be judged by Becky Hill, Harris, and Derulo himself.

Social media, mainly TikTok, is the reason for this show.  The “Whatcha Say” singer has built a following on TikTok, amassing over 50 million followers.  The popular social platform has helped further his career. It also proves that the music industry has changed and is more than just about music.

Derulo makes a statement about his new show and the current music industry:

“The world of music has changed and being a superstar with staying power today requires a lot more than just singing.  Project Icon is the first TV show that will challenge contestants on all realistic skills an artist today should have for a real shot at being an Icon.”

According to a recent report from TMZ, Love And Hip Hop: New York regular Brittney Taylor has been arrested for domestic assault for allegedly hitting the father of her child with a baseball bat.

According to police, Taylor was involved in a physical altercation with Afeez, the father of her two children. The reality star was arrested and charged after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

According to a source close to the couple, the squabble between the former couple started when Afeez flew into NYC to see his children but kept away from Taylor due to some issues from their past. When Afeez and his mother went to leave Taylor’s residence with the children, she said something to Afeez, which he ignored, sending her into a rage.

In the criminal complaint obtained by TMZ, Afeez told police that Taylor punched him in the face in front of the children, but even as he left the residence, she grabbed a bat and hit him, leaving Afeez with a deep, bleeding gash.

Afeez went to the hospital with a cut above his eye, which required stitches, while Taylor was charged with two counts of assault, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of criminal possession of a weapon.

Teyana Taylor is a jack of all trades and excels in every field she enters. In the new film, A THOUSAND AND ONE, the “Gonna Love Me” artist proudly steps into the lead role, playing a character named Inez, who is a Harlem, New York native just like herself. 

And while most may view survival as a task in itself, having to take care of yourself and another human seems damn near impossible… especially in the inner city. A THOUSAND AND ONE sees Teyana (Inez) kidnapping her son (Terry) from his foster home, as they both attempt to navigate the hurdles of life, simultaneously having to adapt to the aftermath of gentrification. 

The Source was invited to an exclusive, invite-only advanced screening of the film at WACO Theater Center in Los Angeles. Many emotions were felt during the two-hour film, from tears to laughter to everything in between.

Not only were Teyana’s acting skills impressively remarkable, but it was the storyline and messaging that viewers can resonate with most. Insert A.V. Rockwell, the indie filmmaker whose roots in New York directly inspired the film. Rockwell says seeing first-hand the impact of gentrification on the black neighborhoods in New York was the driving force, even stating she “felt like we were being erased as a city altogether.”

The end goal is to fight across generations for stability, creating a safe space, a safe home so you can work towards the American dream.” Serving as Rockwell’s major feature debut, the movie won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

The evening concluded with a super intimate Q&A between Rockwell and Beyonce’s mother, Ms. Knowles-Lawson. Read below as they discuss 

Ms. Knowles: You did a great job on the film. How does it feel to share your film with the world?

It’s a really beautiful feeling of accomplishment. To create any movie is really such a feat. People have no idea what goes into it, people that don’t work in production or work on movies. Getting my first film made and getting to tell the story that I really wanted to tell, a story I really cared about and felt passionate about, is really a blessing. I feel so grateful and the way it’s been resonating with people means the most. It’s why I got up out of my bed every day for the years that I did spend on this in the first place, so this is a real triumph for me personally.

Ms. Knowles: This is your feature directorial debut. You’re also the writer, that’s amazing. Who did you draw inspiration on for the characters? Especially Inez and Lucky.

A.V. Rockwell: I pulled from all of my life experiences. With Inez, she was a composite of so many women that have been in my life. This was a very personal film for me. I also wrote her from a position of what do I want to see? I really want to see a woman like this empowered, I really want to see her strength celebrated. I wanted to see her fully in control of her own destiny, for better or worse. She really does, right until that last moment in the film when she’s making the decision of what’s going to happen next. 

It was the same thing for Lucky, I was drawing on experiences on both sides. Experiences of men who I felt were great figures, great father figures. But through Lucky, you see somebody who’s a very great father, but not so much a great husband or great romantic partner. So much of this movie through Inez’ and Lucky’s relationship, you see dynamics between black men and women. 

Again, really going back to the idea of we are not here to protest for you, we’re not here to fight for you or be a supporting character in your journey. We really are looking for people that are standing by us, holy completely. Loving us holy completely, and not just loving the parts of it that’s most convenient for me. Loving my skin color, my hair texture, love every part of what my experience is. Devote yourself to me the way I do for you, you see that very beautifully in their dynamic. I pulled so much of that for this real life.

Ms. Knowles: During the casting process, how did you know that you found your Inez in Teyana Taylor? She was amazing!

A.V. Rockwell: Teyana really did some outstanding work. I’m so proud of her and proud of our collaborative relationship, what we accomplished creatively. For me, it was important when I needed to make sure that I not only found an actress who had talent and depth to give to this performance and get to this character, but also had a truthfulness. Teyana could speak to this human being because she knows this woman, she’s been this woman at some point in her life. Those connected points were really important to me. 

Obviously, she’s a homegirl herself and that’s a bonus. She’s a New York woman herself,  but I felt like she was empathizing with Inez fully. Not looking down at her, because she’s so connected to this woman. That was really important to me. Because she’s not only

a woman who can relate to this character, but a mom. She put a lot of that even seeing what her dynamic was with the boys was really beautiful on set. 

After seeing hundreds of women, actresses — some were established, some people unknown. By the time we got to Teyana’s tape, I really felt the difference. Our casting director, the same thing. “I looked at Teyana’s tape, and I was smitten by it.” We immediately knew that something was there. 

Teyana had her own story to tell, her own pain that she could get out through this character. I always told her to embrace that, to embrace the parts of herself that people told her not to love. Because this character is on a self-love journey. I told Tiana to pull from the places that she has been told about herself to reject. No, you embrace all of that. 

Ms. Knowles: What do you hope that audiences take away, more than anything after seeing A THOUSAND AND ONE?

A.V. Rockwell: There’s so much in this film. I wrote it from a very nuanced place, so there is so much to take away in terms of the themes. In some ways, I feel like the movie doesn’t belong to me anymore, it belongs to people. They’re gonna interpret it in so many ways, beyond what I even had in mind as I was writing it.

For me at minimum, if it is healing for mothers and sons, that’s a win for me. Because people have the opportunity to see their moms and how complicated they are, in a better way and hopefully it nurtures our relationship. Ro me, this story was about unrequited love in so many ways. Not only within people within communities. How people relate to the cities and neighborhoods that they live in. Harlem in particular, it’s the mecca for Black history and culture, and to see it potentially being erased by gentrification and all the policies that set the stage for gentrification is really devastating.

According to a report from TMZ, former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight and his brother Brian Brown are joining forces for. television project that is slated to begin shooting this summer.

It is being reported that the series will be similar to 50 Cent’s BMF series, with plot points about Suge’s early life before he began to terrorize the Hip Hop industry.

Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence for taking Terry Carter’s life in 2015, but has been taking his time in handpicking the actors, especially when it comes to the role of Tupac Shakur, according to a source close to Suge. The source claims that Suge is looking for acting skills over resemblance for whoever plays Shakur, but contends that they must have his style and mannerisms.

Knight has yet to speak on the production detailing his life, but you can bet that when his team gets the green light, he will be “all up in the videos” this time around!

Back in December, former talk show veteran Wendy Williams showed up on Instagram to sell her podcast merchandise and shared she’s ‘just happy to be here’. For months, Wendy has been teasing fans about her upcoming podcast leaving fans to wonder if she was indeed ready to return to the public eye.

Now insiders are claiming that Wendy’s podcast is no longer in discussion.

OK! reports:

Wendy Williams reportedly spilled to friends that “The Wendy Experience Podcast” has been canceled following months of hyping up the long-awaited project.

The ailing former television host first announced the podcast last July and even dropped merchandise online for the then-upcoming show.

She followed up the announcement in November 2022 by insisting the podcast would debut within the “next few weeks.” However, as of now, her website’s link to the section that previously detailed the podcast no longer works.

“It’s strange, because she is saying there is no podcast, but is also telling people she’s going to return to TV,” a source dished on Williams’ increasingly bizarre behavior concerning her stalled career. “It’s hard to figure out what is based in reality.”
Do you think Wendy can regain her crown as ‘Queen of all media’?

Good Burger is coming back for a sequel, but PETA is asking if we could opt for vegan burgers instead.

PETA sent a letter to the film’s stars, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, asking for a vegan option for the forthcoming movie.

“’Welcome to Good Burger, home of the vegan burger—can I take your order?’ That’s what we at PETA have in mind for Good Burger 2,” writes PETA Associate Director Lauren Thomasson. “Some things (like beef patties) are better left in the ’90s, and if Good Burger has any hope of surviving new competition in 2023, its menu will abundantly feature animal-free offerings, including meat-free burgers, dairy-free shakes, and, of course, a special secret vegan sauce.”

You can see the full message from PETA below:

Dear Kenan and Kel, 

“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the vegan burger—can I take your order?” That’s what we at PETA have in mind for Good Burger 2. Some things (like beef patties) are better left in the ’90s, and if Good Burger has any hope of surviving new competition in 2023, its menu will abundantly feature animal-free offerings, including meat-free burgers, dairy-free shakes, and, of course, a special secret vegan sauce. 

We know more than ever about the appalling ways in which animals are raised and killed for food. Cows are branded and castrated, and their horn buds are gauged out of their skulls. They endure these routine mutilations without pain relief. They’re kept on crowded, filthy feedlots, only to then be forced onto trucks and transported for miles through all weather extremes, typically without food or water. At the slaughterhouse, the throats of those who survived the transport will be slit, often while they’re still conscious. Animal agriculture is also a leading contributor to the climate catastrophe and many other environmental issues, and the World Health Organization has declared that eating processed meats causes cancer. 

Today, we have vegan patty options like Beyond Meat that imitate beef and satiate even the meatiest cravings without involving cruelty to animals, and vegan burgers have even made their way onto the menus of popular chains, including Carl’s Jr., Johnny Rockets, and TGI Fridays, to name a few. In fact, vegan fast food has taken the nation by storm, with all-vegan burger joints such as, Kevin Hart’s Hart House, Monty’s Good Burger, and Veggie Grill popping up across the country, so Good Burger would be in good company by making the switch to a vegan menu.

Good Burger 2 is in the works nearly three decades after the original. The film’s stars, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell confirmed the film is in development.

The film’s logline reads:

Dexter Reed (Thompson) is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. Ed (Mitchell) welcomes Dex back to Good Burger with open arms and gives him his old job back. With a new crew working at Good Burger, Dex devises a plan to get back on his feet but unfortunately puts the fate of Good Burger at risk once again.

“I can’t believe it’s been a little over 25 years since great customer service was born at Good Burger!” Thompson said in a statement. “Being a part of something so many generations of people have come to love has made me so proud and now to be back where it all began working on the sequel is surreal! Love performing with my brother Kel and can’t wait to show the fans what these characters have been up to since we last saw them.”

Mitchell added, “Ed is one of those timeless characters that has brought so much joy and laughter to fans, and it’s such a beautiful blessing to still be doing it after all these years. It’s super awesome to come back and continue the stories of Dex, Ed and Good Burger for both the people who grew up watching and their kids.”

“We’re thrilled to take audiences’ orders for more laughter and adventures with the ‘Good Burger’ crew,” said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer of Paramount Streaming to Variety. “‘Good Burger 2’ will be a great addition to our 2023 programming slate and is sure to serve up everything ‘All That’ fans and new viewers alike will enjoy.”

The film is set to release on Paramount+ in 2023.

The Internet went into a frenzy late last year when news of a potential Rush Hour 4 was on the way. Speaking with The Big Tigger Show on Audacy’s V-103 about his forthcoming movie, AIR, Chris Tucker spoke on the possibility but wanted fans to know it’s way more in the works for him.

“You’re going to see a lot of good stuff coming, but it’s going to be on a whole ‘nother level. That’s what I like about (it), I’m excited about that. It’s not going to be what you’ve normally seen… ‘Rush Hour 4’ that’s something I definitely will probably drop in there because I love working with Jackie (Chan), but I’ve got some new stuff that I think you’re really gonna like. I’m excited about it.”

While joking about eliminating a movie from his filmography, he opted for Rush Hour 3, citing, “it could’ve been better.”

Also, in the conversation below, Tucker highlights Ben Affleck wanting to work with him, being able to write for the movie, and more. You can tap into the conversation below.

Ben Affleck is set to take you inside the world of AIR, a film highlighting the game-changing partnership between a rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s basketball division.

On this date in 1957, filmmaker, actor, and New York Knicks enthusiast Shelton “Spike” Lee was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He moved to Brooklyn as a child, which became the backdrop of Lee’s most famous movies, including Do The Right Thing, He Got Game, Summer Of Sam She’s Gotta Have It, and Crooklyn.

About two years ago, a former drug lord by the name of Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent and producer Courtney, claiming that the Starz Power series was made about his life story, and now it’s being reported that 50 is now facing mediation in that lawsuit.

50’s attorneys allege that the one-year statute of limitation is over, which weakens Holland’s lawsuit. Still, Holland, who’s self-represented, says he mailed a copy of his CD to Kemp’s father in 2007, which details his life as a drug dealer who turned into a drug lord. Court docs also claim that Fif came to Holland’s house twice in 2021 to try to confront him about the lawsuit.

Mediation in the lawsuit is set to begin on May 9.

TheSource.com will update this story as more details develop.

With Swarm still racking up watchers, the question is, has Beyoncé seen the show herself? According to series co-creator Janine Nabers, she has seen the production.

Speaking at an SXSW panel, Nabers answered, “of course,” when asked had Queen Bey saw it. She also told the SXSW crowd that she had no more than she could state about it.

The striking show will sure get stan’s circles going, but Nabers says she and Glover weren’t attempting to send a message.

“It think it just exists in the world,” Nabers said, according to Variety. “And people can interpret it the way that they want to. We hope it inspires people in some way to create weird punk shit, or to talk to other people about the weird punk thing they just saw.”

The Osundario Brothers, the two men hired by Jussell Smollett to orchestrate a hate crime hoax, are back in the spotlight. The two are guests on Fox Nation, aligning with the release of Fox’s new docuseries, Jussie Smollett: Anatomy of a Hoax.

“Anatomy of a Hoax takes a deep dive into a scam that reverberated through the worlds of entertainment, pop culture and politics. We’re excited for viewers to hear the real stories behind this scandal from the Osundairo brothers for the very first time.” John Finley, Fox Nation executive vp, said in a statement about the docuseries.

Director Gina Prince-Bythewood is still upset over The Woman King‘s Oscar snub this year.

Prince-Bythewood who directed the explosive film opened up about the movie not getting an Oscar nod despite success at the box office.

“I’ll never get over it, because what happened was egregious and … it speaks to such a bigger issue in our industry,” Prince-Bythewood told PEOPLE.

“But [it also speaks to] who I am, the people around me, these actors,” she added, referring to the film’s stars, Viola Davis and Sheila Atim. “We will never take our foot off the gas. We’re ready to do something next. We’re ready to do something as big, we’re ready to do something together. So we always keep that energy no matter what happens.”

In February, the 53-year-old director told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve gotten so many texts and emails from people in the industry outraged by the Oscar nominations. Of course I’m disappointed. Who wouldn’t be? Especially because there was so much love for our film.”

“Not only does The Woman King exist in the world, but it’s a success in the world… So our film made money and clearly had a cultural impact, which is what we all hoped for,” she said.

“But the Academy made a very loud statement, and for me to stay quiet is to accept that statement,” she added. “So I agreed to speak up, on behalf of Black women whose work has been dismissed in the past, is dismissed now like Alice Diop and Saint Omer, Chinonye Chukwu and Till — and for those who haven’t even stepped on a set yet.”
Do you think the film deserved an Oscar nod?

Don’t think you’re going to run up on Jimmy Kimmel on the Oscars stage this Sunday. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, he said he would “beat the shit” out of someone.

“If somebody comes up on the stage and slaps me? Well, I size them up, and, if I’m bigger than they are, I beat the shit out of them on television. And if it’s the Rock, I run,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel’s playful comments after the Oscars revealed they would have a “crisis team,” in an effort to avoid the issues of last year.

Of that concept, Kimmel says, “I wish I knew. I’ve not been involved in that. I guess I’m the last thing they’re worried about,” he said about what it might entail, adding that he should “at least know what was discussed.”

In an interview with TIME magazine, Bill Kramer, Academy of Motion Picture Arts CEO, was asked what measures had been put in place for this year’s Academy Awards to ensure that no unexpected situations arise. He said a good host, such as Jimmy Kimmel, who is hosting this year, is good because they are used to dealing with live TV and can navigate unexpected situations. He also talked about the formation of the crisis team.

“But we have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place. We’ve run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.

Because of last year, we’ve opened our minds to the many things that can happen at the Oscars. But these crisis plans—the crisis communication teams and structures we have in place—allow us to say this is the group that we have to gather very quickly. This is how we all come together. This is the spokesperson. This will be the statement. And obviously depending on the specifics of the crisis, and let’s hope something doesn’t happen and we never have to use these, but we already have frameworks in place that we can modify.”

Muhammad Ali will be the subject of an eight-part event series that is headed to Peacock. According to Variety, the series is led by Regé-Jean Page, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Willmott.

Executive producers on the project include Page, Freeman, Willmott, Lori McCreary from Revelations Entertainment, and Emily Brown. Along with CBS Studios and UCP, Eig will work as a producer.

The show’s official synopsis reads:

Excellence: 8 Fights will chronicle eight distinct and defining moments in the iconic life of Muhammad Ali. Each episode will be framed by one fight from Ali’s life, but the essence of the episode, what it’s really about, is the internal fight – the drama outside the ring – where we will explore the struggle going on in the heart and mind of one of the most consequential and controversial figures of the 20th century.

Nick Cannon trolled the Internet to believe he had another baby on the way. Instead, it’s a TV show, kind of. Cannon announced Who’s Having My Baby With Nick Cannon, a new game show where Kevin Hart is the host.

Dubbed “The Mother of all Game Shows,” the show seems to have a run of contestants that wants to have Nick Cannon’s baby. But it’s not that simple, Variety notes the clip floating online is a sketch for a bigger project.

The bigger project may be Hart’s E! game show, Celebrity Game Face, which is set to return on April 6 and pair celebrities against each other in challenges.

Meanwhile, Cannon’s The Future Superstar Tour was launched at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, February 25, in collaboration with Live Nation, the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC), and Nick Cannon. Amber Grimes, Lydia Asrat, Sujit Kundu, Datwon Thomas, and L.A. Reid were on a panel of music industry professionals that discussed with Nick Cannon what it takes to break into the business and become a superstar.

A star-studded lineup of up-and-coming musicians, including Zoe Osama, winner of the BMAC x Ncredible Future Superstar grant and the opening act for the Los Angeles performance, performed after the conversation.

Osama is the first of 24 Future Superstar award recipients to be named during the tour. He or she will get a $5,000 cash prize, professional mentoring, and a chance to take part in a local performance. 24 musicians will receive $5,000 awards from BMAC and Ncredible in a collaboration with Live Nation. Together with the grants, BMAC and Ncredible are working together to host an educational panel with music executives at the start of each event to impart knowledge and respond to queries from the public about how to realize their full potential.

The Future Superstar Tour will continue throughout March and into April before coming to an end on April 8 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Big Boss Vette, 24KGOLDN, Samba, Pop Money, and many other artists are headlining the tour, and the Superstar seminars are held before each performance.

Tickets are available for the tour here. You can see images from the Los Angeles opener below.

In Chris Rock’s new Netflix special, Selective Outrage, the comedian brazenly compared the late King of Pop to convicted R&B singer R Kelly. He joked that they committed the “same crime”, but only one was subject to outrage.

Michael Jackson’s nephew, Taj Jackson called Rock a bully for his extremely false joke.

Taj took to Twitter to call Chris Rock a “bully” and thanked Will Smith for slapping him at the 2022 Oscars.

“Chris Rock has used my family as punching bags for his entire career.Yet I am supposed to feel bad for him getting slapped and humiliated on the Oscars”, Jackson wrote.
Taj who was an original group member in the group 3T, proceeded to make a list of three things he had to say to Chris Rock: “After seeing a new clip of him attacking my dead uncle in the first minutes of his ‘Retaliation-I’m still relevant’ special, I have 3 things to say.”

1. “What did my family ever do to you to warrant these decades of harassment and your constant bullying disguise as jokes?”
2. “Just because you were bullied early on in life doesn’t give you the excuse to bully others now”
3. “Thank you Will Smith”

Whew. Do you think Chris Rock was out of line?
