Beneath the industry’s seemingly saccharine surface lies a growing trend threatening to ruin the lives of its influencers.

What it is?

Websites, powered by morally bankrupt flesh-thirsty sex fiends, making bank by hosting nude images of celebrities and social media stars stolen from them or in some cases obtained via cat fishing.

The latest victim of this terribly sad trend?

As if 2017 hasn’t taken enough from us already (see:  ‘Underground,’ ‘The Get Down,’ etc.), now lovers of Netflix’s hilarious comedy, ‘Chewing Gum,’ must add it to the list of great shows we bid adieu.

The British sitcom, written and starring comedienne Michaela Coel as the quirky and lovable, yet downright weird “Tracey,” has been making a splash on both sides of the pond as impatient calls for its third season were increasing.

The answer to those cries – albeit an undesired response – came from Coel herself who, via Twitter, confirmed the show is NOT returning for season 3 anytime soon.  Details inside:

As we reported here, Tyler Perry‘s 2016 Halloween-inspired hit film, ‘Boo! A Madea’s Halloween,’ grossed a whopping $74 million, making it the second most successful movie of the ‘Madea’ franchise to date (behind 2009’s ‘Madea Goes to Jail’).

 The comedy horror film’s homerun at the box-offce was undoubtedly the inspiration behind the quick turnaround for its follow-up, ‘Boo 2!’ Written, directed, and starring Perry as the lovable, but troublesome lead character, the film is set for an October 20, 2017 theatrical opening.

Fans anxious to see what Madea and co. are serving up this-go-round are invited to view its trailer ahead of its premiere.  View it inside:

Funnyman Marlon Wayans and Essence Atkins have already proven their on-screen chemistry with the hilarious ‘Haunted House’ big screen franchise.  So, it should come as no surprise the duo was able to replicate that comic gold on ‘Marlon’ – NBC’s newest sitcom.

Bringing an “updated take” on the classic family comedy style by co-parenting his two children with his unreceptive ex-wife (Atkins), the show not only brought some serious laughs with its premiere last night (August 16), but also some big numbers.

CBS has its eye on Justin Bieber creator Scooter Braun as it seeks to extend its reach in TV’s realm.

The network is developing a singing competition series with help from Braun as they seek to compete with ABC and NBC which house ‘American Idol’ and ‘The Voice’ respectively and extend its relationship with him following the birth of their scripted baby ‘Scorpion.’

Details on the project are still emerging so keep it locked on TGJ for updates for what may be a very exciting music industry moment.

How so? Braun’s success with the Biebs will undoubtedly add a level of credibility to a series seeking to find or forge the next generation of superstars.
