Fans of Academy Award-nominated actress Angela Bassett know the past year has seen her quite busy.  Indeed, after winning over fans with her Mary J. Blige-assisted TV film ‘Betty & Coretta’, she and veteran actor Morgan Freeman topped box office charts last weekend with hit film ‘Olympus Has Fallen’.

However, if her recent interview with the Huffington Post is anything to go by, looks like she won’t have much time to celebrate.   For, while preparing the film ‘Black Nativity’ with Blige and actress/singer Jennifer Hudson, Bassett is still joining the original cast of ‘Waiting To Exhale’ for a long-awaited part 2.

The way we see it, ‘America’s Next Top Model‘s 19th season was its best yet, thanks to its refreshed judging panel and embracing of social media.

The thing is though, that when you’re a perfectionist like Ms. Tyra Banks, one upping yourself just isn’t an option- its a necessity. So, as she continues work on its 20th season, she hit ‘ET‘ with fellow judge  Rob Evans to explain its premise, which will feature a battle of the sexes.
