The cult classic ‘Showgirls’ undoubtedly stands as the highlight of Elisabeth Berkley‘s career.

Panned following its release, the movie’s storyline, though questionable, saw it soar on a video rental front and become one of the highest-earning releases to be launched by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Knew all of the above?

If so, we’re sure you’ll be interested to learn that one of the actresses hoping to bag the role Elisabeth soared in was…Jennifer Lopez.

A never-before-heard story from the triple threat during her time with ‘The Hollywood Reporter‘ below…

The ghosts of Iggy Azalea‘s past continue to affect the way in which she is treated by her detractors.

For, even after apologising for publishing several homophobic and racist tweets before her ascent to fame, the rapper finds herself unable to shake talk that it was her race and not her lyrical ability which lies at the heart of her short-lived chart success.

She was reminded me of this recently.

Watch what happens when she comes face to face with a “fan” keen to “thank” her for what she has done for Hip-Hop music below…

If you were NOT moved by Jesse Williams AWESOME speech at the #BETAwards, YOU are part of the PROBLEM!’ – Yolanda Adams

The tweeted quote above seemed to sum up the sentiment of many-a-viewer of the tonight’s BET Awards after ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star, Jesse Williams, took to the stage to accept the ‘Humanitarian of the Year’ award.

In what came as an unexpected, yet much needed address of the U.S.’s ongoing problems with racial tension, Williams sought to redirect attention from himself and lend a lens to the ever-present #BlackLivesMatter movement.  Stirring up some major ‘amens’ from the audience and social media alike, get into his jaw-dropping 5 minute speech below:

Until now.

Taking to ExtraTV, the ladies of ‘The Real’ got real with resident host Mario Lopez for their first sit-down interview since Tay-Tay’s ousting.  Tuck in below to hear what they said if you missed it:

Cardi-B-that-grape-juice-2016-191919191101010190

Belacalis ‘Cardi B’ Almanzar is in a peculiar space.

Rising to fame via fifteen-second Instagram rants, the 20-something now finds herself heralded as ‘Love & Hip Hop New York’s leading lady after she joined the series’ latest season.

Why this space is peculiar?

For, she alongside a group of net-famous millennials, now has the strange yet exciting task of elevating her online brand to “mainstream” levels without the benefit of a template actors and musicians use to find their footing in the game.

Great, as it allows the outspoken New Yorker to build that template for herself.

Problematic, as it leaves a large amount of room for things to go terribly wrong.

How she’s dealing with it all?

Find out by watching her conversation with Hot 97’s Ebro Darden, Laura Stylez and Peter Rosenberg below…
