That’s right, you! The Grammy-winning R&B legend, who is currently taking North America by storm on his ’12 Nights of Christmas’ tour in support of the holiday-themed album of the same name (in stores now), is giving his talented fans the gift of opportunity.
Think you’ve got what it take to impress legendary creative director/choreographer Frank Gatson to earn a spot opening for Kelly when his tour visits a city near you? Tuck in for details and let us know:
11 years after taking home an Academy Award for his portrayal of music legend Ray Charles in the biographical film ‘Ray,’ singer/songwriter/actor/comedian Jamie Foxx is taking on the role of executive producer for the biopic of another legendary story: Marvin Gaye.
Coming in the form of a “limited series” about the Motown star, best known for hits ‘What’s Going On,’ ‘Sexual Healing,’ and ‘Let’s Get It On,’ the showing comes as the first authorized recount of his storied life and times.
Billboard reports:
F. Gary Gray, Cameron Crowe, James Gandolfini, Scott Rudin and actors including Jesse L. Martin and Lenny Kravitz all have tried to bring Gaye’s story to screen, but until now none had been authorized by Gaye’s family.

The Alt-Right’s Tomi Lahren made her controversial way to Trevor Noah‘s ‘Daily Show’ last night with hopes of reaching out to those who may have turned off by her views on ‘Black Lives Matter‘, Colin Kaepernick and Beyonce.
Unfortunately, her hopes of doing so were crushed Noah, by way of questions we’d all like answers to, exposed how little the political commentator knows about the topics she often discusses on her platform.

As reported here, Jennifer Lopez left the world of singing competitions to enter the ‘World of Dance’ – a new NBC dance competition similar to ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’

We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.
In a letter sent to Dr. Clarence Gamble in 1939, Margaret Sanger penned the line above to detail her plans to build ‘The Negro Project’, a collaboration between she and the American Birth Control league to make abortion available to the oppressed African-American community.
How she planned to execute her vision?
It seems to me from my experience…that while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts.
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.
Why any of this is relevant today?
The KKK-approved Sanger was the founder of ‘Planned Parenthood’, the organisation Nick Cannon and millions around the world believe uses its healthcare services to reduce the size of minority populations via abortion.

As Phaedra Parks uses the ninth season of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ to support the victims of the Flint Water Crisis, some of her cast mates have opted to use the platform to front more unscrupulous endeavours.
Two of these, rather unfortunately, are Todd Tucker and Peter Thomas, husbands of ‘Housewives’ Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey.
For, perhaps in retaliation for remarks Parks has made about them during their run on the series, the supporting characters reached a new low with hopes of a ratings high by introducing Sherien Almufti to the series.
Why it was a new low?
Almufti’s alleged affair with Parks’ husband Apollo Nida.

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ feature whipped up to celebrate TV and Film’s entertaining, and occasionally horrific, past.
Today, thirteen years after its release, we revisit Halle Berry‘s ‘Gothika.’
In it, the actress plays a psychiatrist working in a women’s mental hospital who ends up becoming a patient when she murders her husband.
However, all isn’t at it seems as her quest for justice sees her slip and slide into a world tainted by male privilege, police corruption and the sexual abuse of powerless women within the institutions the people she trusted were supposed to protect.
‘Gothika’ below…
