Jay Ellis By Mwabi Kaira A petition floated around the internet demanding that Lawrence return to Insecure when it was assumed that he wouldn’t appear on Season 3. Team Lawrence championed hard and fans of the show were pleasantly surprised when Issa ran into him at the 7-11 while she was at Coachella. Lawrence has been on every episode since…
Quad Webb Lunceford and Dr. Gregory Lunceford By Brenda Alexander Their marriage started off rocky with them canceling the wedding just weeks before getting hitched only to turn around and jump the broom in a ceremony while guests watched with side-eyes at a later date. Being newlyweds on reality tv didn’t help. She took pride in being a stay at…
Angela and Ghost By Mwabi Kaira As far as season finales and cliffhangers go, Power fell flat last night. Continue Don’t read ahead if you haven’t seen the finale…you’ve been warned… Angela When Raina got killed last season we felt that in our souls because no one saw it coming. Raina was sweet and caring and just wanted her brother…
Naturi Naughton as Tasha St. Patrick By Kaila Kea I have a confession…I hate Tasha St. Patrick’s look. I hate the weave. The boots. The make-up. Oy, the make-up. Don’t get me wrong, this has nothing to do with actress Naturi Naughton. As a matter of fact, I really dig Naturi. She seems like someone who would be great to…
Bobby Brown with wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown (Source: Essence Magazine) By Brenda Alexander If you haven’t watched the second part of the Bobby Brown Story on BET, get your tissues ready, because 80% of the film was nothing but sadness. Continue Somebody died literally every 10 minutes. In between the deaths of close loved ones, he struggled hard to kick his…
Bobby Brown By Brenda Alexander From the moment the promo for The Bobby Brown Story dropped that opened with the original Bad Boy of R&B snorting a line of cocaine (seriously BET, y’all couldn’t think of anything else) and featured his classic pelvic thrusting performances, I knew we would get his raw unfiltered truth. We’ve anticipated a biopic for years….
Photo: Geoffrey Owens IG By Brenda Alexander Erykah Badu said it best when she sang, “Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills.” In the context of her song, she was referencing selling drugs, but those lyrics can apply to every walk of life as we’ve all found ourselves in work spaces that weren’t at the top of our vision…
Evelyn Lozada By Brenda Alexander I knew the moment Evelyn Lozada signed on to be an official cast member of Basketball Wives again that the “work” she claimed she put in to “fix her life” with Iyanla was shot to shit. After all, why would you retreat from having your own show that depicted your life as a mom, businesswoman…
Naturi Naughton By Ta-ning Connai Naturi Naughton is the epitome of a saying that I love: Your setback is a set up for your comeback. ‘Cause no one can play Tasha from the hit show Power like the middle girl from 3LW! I honestly didn’t think she would ever rebound from the drama around her 2000’s girl group. However, slowly…
Photo courtesy of Starz By Mwabi Kaira I was late to the Power party. Everyone was singing its praises Season 1 and I just wasn’t feeling it. I finally got past the first episode and binge watched the entire season. It was hard for me to understand how everyone was so clueless with what was going on when it was…
