Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker may be juggling parenthood and their own successful TV careers (aboard ABC’s ‘Station 19’ and HBO Max’s ‘And Just Like That…’ respectively), but the husband-wife duo – over 20 years after first collaborating on the hit TV adaptation of the classic film ‘Soul Food’ – are still finding time in their busy schedules to join forces on screen.

Their latest tag team comes via the forthcoming thriller, ‘Safe Room,’  starring Parker.  Serving as Kodjoe’s directorial debut, ‘Safe’ sees Nicole portray a widow trying to protect her autistic teenage son from danger after he witnesses a break-in.

Jamie Lynn Spears has hit back at her big sister Britney Spears. 

The siblings have been locked in somewhat of a war of words following the performer’s emancipation from the conservatorship that has governed her life for more than 13 years.

Britney has not held back, slamming her family at large for what she says was their role and complicity in her dire predicament.

And sister Jamie hasn’t been exempt from the furor.

Matters escalated even more upon the youngest of the Spears clan hitting the promotional trail in support of her new book, ‘Things I Should Have Said.’

Naturally, her relationship with Britney formed the focus of her sit-down interview appearance on Good Morning America. And, as reported, the ‘Slave 4 U’ singer was not happy – stressing “my family ruined my dreams.” 

Now, Jamie has replied publicly and claimed that her sister’s “vague” and “accusatory” posts have led to her family receiving “death threats.”
