May 6 will bring with it ‘Becoming’ – a tell-all documentary feature on First Lady Michelle Obama.

Titled after her 2018 best-selling memoir, the film was produced by her production company, Higher Ground, and will premiere a year after it was first announced she (alongside President Barack Obama) signed a historic deal with Netflix (click here to read more).

The feature directorial debut of cinematographer Nadia Hallgren, ‘Becoming’ – like her autobiography – will recount moments from her life but it will also pick up where the book left off to focus on the 34-city tour she undertook to promote the book.

“Those months I spent traveling — meeting and connecting with people in cities across the globe — drove home the idea that what we share in common is deep and real and can’t be messed with,” she said in a statement. “In groups large and small, young and old, unique and united, we came together and shared stories, filling those spaces with our joys, worries and dreams. We processed the past and imagined a better future. In talking about the idea of ‘becoming,’ many of us dared to say our hopes out loud.”

Ahead of its premiere, see the official trailer inside:

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b*tch famous (God damn) / I made that b*tch famous” is the line from Kanye West‘s 2016 ‘Life of Pablo’ hit that’s made its way back atop headlines thanks to reheated beef between West and Taylor Swift (click here to read more).

As the singer’s fans, affectionately called #Swifties, continue to defend their fave, one of the song’s listed producers – Havoc (of Mobb Deep) – comes to the aid of his friend Kanye.

Taking to our friends at the Daily Beast recently, Havoc asserts Swift’s response to the line is ‘too serious’ and suggests she is ‘too sensitive’ considering Yeezy spat the line as a compliment.

Idris Elba made headlines this week when a comment he shared about coronavirus was interpreted as suggesting that the world observe an annual lockdown week in remembrance of the covid-19 chapter in history.

As we reported, the actor was one of the first high-profile names to reveal that he had contracted coronavirus.

In the time since, he’s been vocal about the preventative measures folk should take to avoid catching and/or spreading the virus. He’s also been quick to quash conspiracy theories about the pandemic.

As we reported here, Lifetime’s Clark Sisters biopic – ‘First Ladies of Gospel’ – was a critical and commercial knockout for the network.

The Christine Swanson-directed film, which chronicled the meteoric highs and lows of Gospel’s most iconic girl group, was greeted with the highest TV movie ratings of the year (and Lifetime’s highest since 2016). After its April 11 premiere, songs featured in the flick – including the quartet’s most memorable hits like ‘You Brought the Sunshine,’ ‘Name It, Claim It,’ and ‘Blessed & Highly Favored’ – shot to the top of real-time Gospel sales tallies.

Accompanied by spurts in streaming, the reawakened interest was just enough to help albums and songs from their prized discography re-enter the most recently printed Billboard charts.
