“You know who you are without me. I need to know who I am without you”

Angela Bassett teams with Felicity Huffman and Patricia Arquette for new Netflix movie ‘Otherhood.’

Brought to screens by the teams behind the ‘Sex In The City’ movie and ‘Bad Moms,’ the film follows a group of friends who all feel a disconnect from their adult sons.

Looking to remedy the matter, they journey to New York City in a bid to reconnect. Yet, in the process, they one-by-one realize that it’s actually they who are in need of rediscovery of self. Which in turn requires that they redefine their relationships with their offspring, partners, each other, and themselves.

The comedy lands on the streaming service (and select theaters on August 2nd). Before then, check out the first look trailer below… (more…)

Lil Nas X has already galloped into history books multiple times over the last three months thanks to his inaugural megahit, ‘Old Town Road.’

In addition to stomping all over streaming records previously set by the likes of Drake, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more, the 20-year-old’s seen the tune – currently #1 for its 14th consecutive week – rival the longevity and impact of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s longest running chart-toppers ever.

Now, as the song continues to fend off competition from the tally’s perch, it is being greeted with new reports that it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA for sales equivalence that has exceeded over 10 million units.  The achievement makes him the second artist to ever reach Diamond status while still occupying the Hot 100’s summit.  In fact, the only other artist to do this was Elton John – who laid claim to the first ever Diamond single with 1997’s ‘Candle in the Wind.’

While we extend our congrats to X, look inside to see who joins him in the top 25 on this week’s ‘TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100’ edition:

‘No Time’ rapstress Lil Kim has taken to Instagram to remind the media she has no time for outlets who don’t ‘put some respect on her name.’

The diva, hot on the promo trail in support of new music and the highly anticipated forthcoming VH1 reality show, ‘Girls Cruise’ (as we reported here), is bringing the jaunt to a screeching halt after she received word some of the very networks set to interview her were wielding disparaging remarks about her.

‘The Jump Off’ rapstress may have briefly jumped on the cases of ‘The Today Show’ and ‘Access Hollywood’ (where she says she was due to appear on July 11), but Andy Cohen – host of Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live‘ – got the worst tongue lashing of all.

The Queen Bee stings await inside:
