Last week, Ty Dolla $ign celebrated seeing his third album, ‘Featuring Ty Dolla $ign,’ become his first top 10 hit on the Billboard 200 (as we reported here).

The tenancy may have been short-lived as the star-studded set slipped to #32 on this week’s edition of the tally, but – as evidenced by his ongoing promotion of the LP – $ign is looking to see it revisit the chart terrain.

His latest supportive jaunt came courtesy of a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Tuesday (November 10).  Rocking out a performance of his latest single, ‘Nothing Like Your Exes,’ live from his house, look inside to see Ty put it down like only he can:

Embattled Hip Hop star Tory Lanez may have seen his critically panned last album, ‘Daystar,’ slip out of the Billboard 200 just 4 weeks after its premiere (as we reported here), but he’s looking to turn the tide on the effort by gifting another of its cuts the video treatment.

Much like the music videos for preceding singles ‘In the Air’ and ‘Most High’ (click here to watch them), the new clip – ‘Jokes on Me’ – serves as a suspenseful, cinematic affair that sees Lanez show off his acting chops.

Almost 25-years after its release, ‘Waiting To Exhale’ made headlines again this week when actress Loretta Devine revealed that a revival of sorts was in the works.

And while the news excited some, others weren’t as welcoming of what appeared to be a “sequel” to the original. Especially given how coveted the classic film is and the tragic absence of Whitney Houston, who died in 2012.

Well, Terry McMillan – the revered writer of the like-titled novel that formed the basis of the movie – has provided clarity.

December 22 will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of ‘Waiting to Exhale‘ – the groundbreaking film adaptation of Terry McMillan‘s equally game-changing novel about the stories of four Black female friends balancing romance, parenthood, and more with the demands of their respective professions.

With its main characters portrayed by GRAMMY & EMMY Award-winning Pop icon Whitney Houston, Academy & EMMY Award nominee Angela Bassett, EMMY Award winner Loretta Devine, and Lela Rochon, ‘Exhale’ grossed over 5 times its budget at box offices and broke boundaries for the way women of color were portrayed in movies along the way.

As calls for such positive media representation is at its highest now, Tamron Hall – who welcomed Devine and her ‘Spell’ co-star Omari Hardwick as guests on her top-rated talk show last week – quizzed the actress on if the highly celebrated flick will be among many getting a reboot in the near future.

Devine’s answer was a shocker.  Details inside:

Eva Longoria found herself out of favor with some corners of the internet this week, following an interview on MSNBC.

As reported, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress appeared to downplay the importance of the Black vote in delivering Joe Biden and Kamala Harris their historic win in the US presidential election in her spotlighting of the Latin impact.
