After scoring a television ratings home run with their Clark Sisters biopic (as we reported here), the set’s producers – Queen Latifah and Holly Carter – are reuniting to bring another faith-based film to the masses:  the biopic of Queen of Gospel Mahalia Jackson.

Not to be confused with the Jackson life story coming to Lifetime (as we reported here), the Latifah and Carter-produced rendition (which also sees Academy Award-winning Jamie Foxx sign on as producer) is headed to the big screen.

To portray the Gospel icon?  None other than 3x GRAMMY-winning soulstress Jill Scott.

Lauryn Hill made headlines this week when her daughter Selah Marley shared concerning claims of abuse as a child.

In a now deleted live chat, the 21-year-old unpacked the “trauma” she felt defined her upbringing and the belt beatings at the hands of her “angry” Mom which she likened to “that slave *sh*t.”

Now, the ‘Doo-Wop’ singer is speaking up and out by way of a lengthy (and we mean lengthy) statement.

Like many, Jason Derulo had high hopes for ‘Cats’ – not least because he starred in the film as Rum Tum Tugger. 

However, what was intended to be a blockbuster ended up as a box office catastrophe.

The 2019 flick, which co-starred Taylor Swift and boasted a budget of over $100 million, bombed at the box office after generating just $75 million at the US box office. It also didn’t fare well internationally.

Much of the blowback centered on the poor CGI (which, in an unprecedented move, had to be updated post-release).

Months removed from the chaos, Derulo is reflecting on the film.

Serving as his first role, he explained that he thought the Tom Hooper production “was gonna change the world.”

Despite entering the Billboard 200 at an impressive #8 just a month ago (as we reported here), Summer Walker‘s latest EP – ‘Life on Earth’ – had a short shelf-life on the tally.

Dropping to #94 the next week, it slipped to #193 in week 3 before falling completely off the hit-list this week (what would’ve been it’s 4th).

To encourage a Billboard rebound, Walker’s selected ‘White Tee’ – a fan favorite from the EP – to be its latest tune to be accompanied by a music video.

See Summer and the tune’s co-star, NO1-NOAH, party it up in the spicy clip:

With collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion (‘Pastor’), Cardi B (‘Twerk’), Saweetie (‘My Type’ official remix), and Doja Cat (‘P***y Talk’) to their credit, City Girls are no stranger to racking up features with today’s leading ladies of Hip Hop.

That undesired absence was reaffirmed recently when the duo – hot on the promo trail in support of their latest album ‘City on Lock’ (click here to stream) – confirmed they’d like to lock in studio time with the Young Money maven.
