‘Black-Ish’ continues to be the gift that keeps giving. Because the show has birthed yet another spin-off named ‘Mixed-Ish.’

Following the success of ‘Grown-Ish’ on sister station Freeform, ABC have made a straight to series order of the new show.

A prequel of sorts, it’ll be set in the 80s and chronicle the early life of Tracee Ellis Ross‘ character Rainbow Johnson. It’ll have a focus on her experiences being mixed race.

‘Mixed-Ish,’ which is co-written by ‘Black-Ish’ creator Kenya Barris and exec produced by Ross + Anthony Anderson, will premiere as a backdoor-pilot during a future episode of ‘Black-Ish.’

Before then, check out the first look trailer for the show (which co-stars Tika Sumpter) below…

The state of Britney Spears‘ personal life continues to have professional ramifications.

As widely reported, the singer is at the center of a scandal surrounding her conservatorship; a measure put in place after her 2007 breakdown.

After news surfaced of the singer’s admission into mental health facility in Janaury, a sect of fans hit the press claiming controlling impropriety by the star’s handlers – all of which has been adamantly denied.

All roads lead to June 21 for R&B’s leading bad boy Chris Brown.

The Grammy-winner, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday (May 5), was the one delivering gifts when he confirmed news the new project, titled ‘Indigo,’ would not only hit stores next month but would also include a whopping 30 tracks.  Colored by guest appearances from the likes of Drake, Justin Bieber, Tyga, Tank, H.E.R., Juvenile, and many more, one of the set’s most highly anticipated features came courtesy of the Nicki Minaj & G-Eazy-assisted ‘Wobble Up.’
