Forget Fridays, all the action takes place Thursday nights on ABC.

Smash hit series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is back for a titillating third season.

The legal drama, which stars Emmy winner Viola Davis, follows a group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defence professor. Last season brought with it a countless list of twists and the newest instalment promises a whole lot more. 

It all makes for a riveting watch. And like millions, we’re already hooked!

Peep the preview of episode 5 of season 3 – titled ‘It’s About Frank‘ – below… (more…)

Lee Daniels continues to build his ‘Empire’ over at FOX.

Armed with the success of the hit music drama, the famed director is birthing another named ‘STAR.’

As reported, the series rooted in the realm of music.

Queen Latifah stars in the title, which is set in Atlanta and tells the tale of three talented singers in search of a new start. With ambitions of superstardom, the show follows the group as they navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success.

Set to hit screens in 2017, a special preview will air in December. Before then, peep an extended trailer below…

Four months after Nick Jonas unveiled his highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Last Year Was Complicated,’ the former boy band beau is still on the promo trail for the effort.  Joining forces with TIDAL, the singer/songwriter has released a trippy, psychedelia-inspired music video for the album’s opener ‘Voodoo.’

Set in New Orleans’ French Quarter, the kaleidoscopic visual is probably best enjoyed under the influence of drugs.

Thanks to Hurricane Matthew and a whirlwind of bad press surrounding ‘Birth of a Nation’ star Nate Parker and his refusal to apologize for his involvement in a 17-year-old rape case (that he was acquitted of), the historical film – which depicts the Nat Turner-led slave revolt of 1831 – bombed something fierce at the box office this past weekend.

Well, according to FOX executive Frank Rodriguez, that depends on how you define “bomb.”

For many-an-outlet the flick was deemed a flop because it was only able to drum up 7.1 million at the box office – an undoubtedly low sum considering FOX Searchlight acquired it during the Sundance Film Festival for a record-breaking $17.5 million deal.

Despite the expectations, Rodriguez asserts the studio is pleased with ‘Nation’s performance to date…

Gabrielle Union made headlines today when news of her lawsuit against BET hit the wire.

The timing of filing (and indeed the filing itself) shocked many, given that season 4 of her hit series ‘Being Mary Jane’ launches in January on…BET.

Per reports, Union is unhappy due to strategic plays she feels are being made to get more out of her – for less money.

As reported, her suit read:

“BET represented and assured Ms. Union before she agreed to perform in Being Mary Jane that it would never produce more than thirteen (13) episodes per season of the series. BET now wants to shoot twenty (20) episodes of the series back-to-back and cram all of the episodes into a single season in order to fraudulently extend the term of Ms. Union’s contract, with no additional consideration, and to deprive Ms. Union of her agreed-upon compensation for the next two seasons of ‘Being Mary Jane.’

Wasting no time, BET have clapped-back. Read their response below…
