Hailed as one of the greatest actresses of the 21st century, Viola Davis is no stranger to garnering critical acclaim for her groundbreaking roles on stage, film, and television over the last 35 years.

Thanks to securing a GRAMMY nomination at the award show’s 2023 edition, however, Davis also stands a chance to make history by joining an exclusive club of EGOT winners.

Because Angela Bassett is one of the most revered actresses in movie and television history, her mantel has certainly made room for some of the entertainment industry’s most prized awards over the last three-and-a-half decades.

However, despite critical acclaim for portraying the likes of “Bernadine Harris,” Katherine Jackson, Rosa Parks, and many others over the years, major industry honors (i.e. EMMY, Academy Award, etc.) have often eluded her – much to the chagrin of her dedicated legion of fans.

The first step in righting that wrong may have come Tuesday night (January 10), however, when the 64-year-old captured the second Golden Globe of her career.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton is getting super candid about her roller coaster journey to motherhood.

As reported, the media maven welcomed her first child – a baby boy named Ever James – with her husband Israel Houghton last year.

At the time, the singer and former host of The Real shared that her newborn entered the world via gestational surrogate.

Now, during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Bailon-Houghton is opening up the more.

Speaking frankly, she unpacks how her quest to become a mom took six years, “8 IVF cycles,” and “multiple miscarriages.”

It was after being informed by her doctors that she was on her last fertilized embryo that surrogacy was suggested and she and her partner proceeded down that path.

As for why she’s opening up, the former 3LW and Cheetah Girls performer says that fertility issues are rarely discussed publicly but she’s found many women share that they’ve experienced them in private conversations.

H.E.R. (born Gabriella Wilson) may only be 25-years-old, but the singer-actress is already one of the most-awarded musicians of her generation.

A five-time GRAMMY winner, the R&B diva’s trophy case is also lined with MTV VMAs, MTV EMAs, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, and, most famously, a collected Best Song OSCAR for the ‘Judas & the Black Messiah’ tune ‘Fight For You’ (accepted at the 2021 Academy Awards).

In past interviews, Wilson has detailed in earnest what joining the group of Hollywood elites who have EGOT status (the acronym that references those who have the industry’s top four honors – EMMYs, GRAMMYs, OSCARs, and TONYs) would mean to her.

Now, with the addition of an EMMY to her growing accomplishments, she may not have to wait for long.
