Miles Brock (above) continues to make moves as the breakout star of ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood‘s second season after becoming the first African-American rapper to reveal to “come out of the closet” on national television.

His decision to do so has seen him dominate conversations in hair salons and barbershops across the country, relaunch his once ailing career as a musician and- quite interestingly- outshine the lover who convinced him to join the VH1 series.

Now that lover, Milan Christopher, has stepped forward to claim that Miles’ story is more fiction than it is factual.

Where he did it?

‘The Breakfast Club.’

Mark those calendars because ‘Barbershop’ is back!

April 2016 will serve up the third instalment of the popular franchise, which now has a confirmed title of ‘Barbershop: The Next Cut.’ Check out the first official poster above, which also cements its release window.

Hip-Hop maven Nicki Minaj joins returning names such as Ice Cube, Cedric The Entertainer, and fellow femcee Eve as part of the cast.

The ‘Pink Print’ purveyor will play the sassy Draya – a stylist on the hair salon side of the shop. Ever theatrical, the rapper’s role forms part of a marked foray into the acting world – as  Minaj is also gearing up to star in an ABC sitcom.

As for Barbershop, all eyes will be on whether its third round, which is being produced by New Line, will significantly add to the box office total for the franchise (which, between its two released movies, has grossed $140 million worldwide).

UPDATE: Watch the first trailer below…

As Janet Jackson‘s recent success reminded, the diva’s legacy is ‘Unbreakable.’

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt celebrated on Lip Sync Battle this week by performing Ms. Jackson’s iconic ‘Rhythm Nation.’

And while – in the spirit of the show – Levitt brought the LOL’s, he also brought his A-game with the choreography, ensemble, and all-round swag.

Having gone to battle with fellow thespian Anthony Mackie, it’s clear that the star’s Janet tribute nabbed him the win.

Watch below…in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Today, LaBelle’s authentic foray into food has seen her prove that magic happens when the right persons takes a risk and presents the right product to the world.

‘Straight Outta Compton’ is going straight into the history books after adding yet another shining achievement to its already long list of nods.  As fans know, the movie – released in August 2015 – set a number of records its first weekend including:

  • Highest opening weekend for a musical biopic ($60 million)
  • Highest August opening weekend for an R-rated film

Fast forward three months and $200 million later, the NWA biographical film now boasts two new records:  highest grossing musical biopic of all time and highest grossing film by a black director (F. Gary Gray).  But, while the legendary rap group may be lifting a glass to celebrate the accomplishments, there’s one who isn’t exactly thrilled at the news:  their former manager Jerry Heller
