Madea returns to Netflix in the brand new movie ‘Madea’s Destination Wedding.’
Tyler Perry‘s world-renowned matriarch character packs her bags, family, and best floral dresses to fly out with the Simmons clan to the Bahamas for her grandniece’s whirlwind wedding.
Naturally, drama, hilarity, and did we say drama (?!) define what may be Madea’s most chaotic outing yet.
Perry is joined in the movie by Cassi Davis Patton, as well as David Mann and Tamela Mann.
With a July 11 release set, check out the first full-length trailer after the jump…
The winners have been unveiled for the 78th annualTony Awards.
Hosted by Cynthia Erivo, the ceremony was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and toasted achievements on stage across a range of categories.
Nicole Scherzinger emerged victorious, taking home her first Tony for her performance in ‘Sunset Boulevard.’
After a brief rest on the bench, That Grape Juice‘s From The Vault is back – celebrating music gems of both the beloved and underrated variety.
And this time, we’re toasting a Chanté Moore gem, ‘Straight Up.’
Released in 2000, the uptempo track was produced by Jermaine Dupri, who also featured on the track. Bryan-Michael Cox co-wrote the cut with Dupri and Lil Mo.
Renowned for her stirring midtempos and soaring ballads, the infectious cut saw Moore turn up the tempo like never before.
Emblematic of the Y2K era’s penchant for BPM-driven uptempos, the hook-heavy earworm was paired with a dynamic, choreography-led music video.
Serving as the centerpiece of Moore’s fourth studio album, ‘Exposed,’ the track wasn’t the smash perhaps hoped for on home soil.
However, ‘Straight Up’ did find its greatest success on international shores, peaking at #11 in the UK, #13 in Belgium, and #22 in France.
In the years since its release, the song’s popularity has endured and continued to grow on the streaming scene. Indeed, as of writing, it has racked up over 10.7 million streams on Spotify alone.
