When it comes to legendary songwriters, no list should lack mention of Smokey Robinson.

The Grammy-winning R&B/Soul icon – whose prized penmanship lent Motown’s flagship acts (The Temptations, The Supremes, The Jackson 5, etc.) some of their biggest hits and helped shift the genre into the mainstream – also helped himself to quite a few top 40 hits and millions of albums sold along his storied, nearly 6 decade-long career. Now, at long last, Robinson will see that story brought to the big screen.

Highlighted by years of hitmaking and chart-topping but rocked by drug abuse, extramarital affairs, and more that brought him to the nadir of his career, his tale is reportedly being brought to life by the creators of ‘Ray’ (a film that led actor/singer Jamie Foxx to an Academy Award win in 2005).

Can the magic be recreated?  Smokey sure hopes so and is on the hunt for some big named actors to answer the call.  Look inside for details:

As more people learn of the barbaric ways Africans are being treated in Libya and the Middle East the supermodel and humanitarian Naomi Campbell has stepped up to support the fight for equality.

For decades Sub Saharan Africans have risked their lives with hopes of a better future by leaving their home nations and heading North towards Europe via Libya.

Alas, those who are “lucky” enough to have survived the horrific journey often find themselves coming face to face with racism dished out via other people of colour.

Today, millions around the world lift their voices to condemn governments who do and say nothing about this injustice via protests taking place in several major cities.

Joining them in their quest to combat the demon that is anti-blackness?

Ms. Campbell.

Marlo Hampton of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has a bone to pick with Wendy Williams.

Why?

Earlier this week, Williams interviewed Hampton’s co-star Kenya Moore and- as far as Marlo fans see it- dissed her by pointing out the fact that she had failed to rise above her status as an extra almost a decade after she was welcomed to the show by Phaedra Parks.

What Marlo had to say in response?

A great deal about Wendy, her marriage…and Moore’s skin.
