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:

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is known as the biggest spectacle on Earth and for good reason given the 100 million+ eyes that are annually glued to TV screens in its anticipation.

Compounded with the opportunity to be etched in history is the highly coveted slot’s boosts in its performers’ sales, streams, recognition, and – for some – accolades (see: Emmy nominations).

Amid ongoing criticism of the NFL’s response to complaints of its treatment of players of color (as well as slow response to the issue of racial injustice at large), the league’s tapped Jesse Collins – courtesy of Roc Nation – to serve as the extravaganza’s first African American executive producer.

With the spotlight brighter than ever for Collins and the show to deliver next year, who among today’s crop of top acts is deserving to become immortalized by joining an exclusive list that includes the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, & more?

Sam Smith‘s third era may have kicked off in a promising manner thanks to the Normani-assisted ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ (one of the biggest songs of 2019), but the follow-up tunes lifted from its accompanying album – previously titled ‘To Die For’ – have all had varying levels of success on the Hot 100 with some missing the tally all together.

Announced just Monday (September 15), the song arrives nearly two months after the GRAMMY winner’s last ill-fated release ‘My Oasis’ (featuring Burna Boy).’
