The amiable R&B singer Bobby Valentino saw his brand thrown into dramatic waters when footage of him fleeing the home of a person he believed was a cisgender woman surfaced online.
Shortly after, it emerged that the woman was actually a transgender woman named Reima Houston who took to social media to blast claims that she catfished the straight entertainer.
Now, after V claimed she was out to blackmail and extort him, Reima has learned that details from her colourful past may sway the general public’s opinion in the singer’s favour.
Grace Jones’ life story is to be retold via the documentary ‘Grace Jones: Bloodlight & Bami’, the very first comprehensive film to examine the icon’s past.
Production on the release kicked off five years ago and hopes to introduce viewers to a version of Grace they’ve never seen before via footage pulled from interviews, performances and moments prised from her colourful private life.
Its director Sophie Fiennes shares…
This film began in a collaborative creative spirit. Grace had fiercely controlled her public image, but made the bold decision to un-mask. She never sought to control my shooting process, and I didn’t second-guess the narrative of the film as I was shooting. I just gathered evidence. The film is a deliberately present-tense experience; for me this is the thrill-ride of verité cinema.
Keep it locked on TGJ for details on its release date.
Your thoughts?
Recent studies carried out on American citizens revealed that the many view African-American girls as troublesome and far less innocent than their white counterparts.
With this harrowing thought in mind the beauty giant Procter and Gamble teamed up with its ‘My Black is Beautiful’ partners to address the African-American experience via an ad named ‘The Talk.’
In it, viewers are taken through several decades and observe as black parents are forced to give their children “the talk” they hope will shield them against subtle and shameless racism.
Watch below…
Our goal with ‘The Talk’ is to help raise awareness about the impact of bias. We are also hopeful that we can make progress toward a less biased future by recognizing the power of people of all backgrounds and races showing up for one another.
Alas, the ad’s powerful message has been slammed by some groups who claim it is racist.
Stop supporting Procter and Gamble! Their product line is huge. Don't buy any of it! Shameful! https://t.co/n7nB7bE9N6

As a Pop purveyor Rihanna is the envy of many of her peers.
Alas, the performer hasn’t had much luck as far as films are concerned. For, after watching ‘Battleship’ sink, the entertainer has learned that her latest movie project ‘Valerian and the City of Thousand Planets’ has done the same.
Billed a box office bomb by ‘Deadline‘, ‘Planets’ was built on a budget of $177 million but, by way of its failure to recoup this, has been written off by critics as a flop after earning only $59.9 million worldwide.
Movie insiders reveal that it will need to generate $350 million to break-even and is unlikely to secure a sequel as its producers seek to cut their losses.
It now has the potential of becoming one of the most expensive flops. The film stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Kris Wu, John Goodman and Ethan Hawke, and is based on the Valerian And Laureline comic Besson revered as a child.
With this is mind, we ask…
Why do you think the movie tanked?
