From the pinnacle of fame to the depths of infamy, Milli Vanilli has one of the most remembered and rebuked stories in music history.

Comprised of Robert “Rob” Pilatus and Fabrice “Fab” Morvan, the Pop duo rose to global superstardom on the wings of hits like ‘Blame It On the Rain’ and ‘Girl, You Know It’s True’ – the latter of which earned them a GRAMMY and sold millions of records. Exposure for a headline-grabbing lip-syncing scandal would eventually see that award rescinded and the loyalty of legions of fans worldwide with it.

The untold story of Pilatus and the late Morvan is the subject of a feature-length documentary directed and produced by Luke Korem.

Lined with never-before-seen footage and interviews from the hitmakers themselves as well as record executives who were intentionally involved in the faux pas, the film seeks to redeem the legacy of the embattled 90’s stars.

Streaming now on Paramount+, hop inside for a look at the trailer.

Jonathan Majors will be heading to trial after all.

The actor has been embroiled in a seismic legal battle since his March arrest.

As extensively reported, the star stands accused of domestic violence following an incident with his former lover, Grace Jabarri.

Since being charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment, Majors has adamantly denied the claims, with his attorneys insisting he was “provably the victim” in the matter.

Adding to what is already a layered case, reports hit the wire this week indicating that Jabarri was to be arrested for domestic violence against Majors.

Now, after many a delay, it’s been confirmed that the trial will be taking place next month.

Brandy is set to bring festive cheer to screens in the ‘Best. Christmas. Ever.’

The multihyphenate star leads the Netflix film in the role of Jackie.

Each holiday season, she sends out a festive newsletter (filled with boasts) that makes her old college friend  feel… less than merry.

A twist of fate sees Charlotte, her husband, and their family on Jackie’s and her husband Valentino’s snowy doorstep just days before Christmas.

Keen to prove that her friend’s life isn’t as “perfect” as presented, Charlotte almost ruins Christmas for everyone – forcing both families to team up to restore the holiday spirit.

B-Rocka stars in the Mary Lambert-directed flick alongside Heather Graham, Jason Biggs, and Matt Cedeño.

As reported, the film is being supported by Brandy’s new holiday album, ‘Christmas With Brandy’ (due November 10).

The story of Baynard Rustin is set to be illuminated like never before. At long last.

One of most prolific activists of all time, the force forms the central focus of new Netflix-powered film ‘Rustin.’

Set to premiere next month on the streamer, the movie chronicles the unwavering spirit possessed by Baynard, who is played by Emmy winner Colman Domingo.

Unapologetic about who he was, Rustin never wavered on his beliefs or who he loved. A reality that saw him make history while (in many ways) being eradicated from it too. Until now.

Directed by 5-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe, ‘Rustin’ will celebrate the story of a man who dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom alongside the likes of Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Rustin’ arrives in select theaters on November 3 ahead of its Netflix debut on November 17.

Cooper, Ray J, DeRay Davis, Jasmine Luv, and others), look inside to catch the official trailer ahead of the show’s BET premiere on October 18.
