Nancy Botwin Byke: A ‘Weeds’ Reboot Is In The Works With Mary-Louise Parker Reprising Her Role

Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN A Weeds Revival Is In Development At Starz Showtime’s popular series Weeds ending in 2012 after eight seasons on the air, but now, the series is coming back for a revival on a different network: Starz. According to reports from Variety , Lionsgate Television announced recently that the series was in development during one of their earnings calls. Not only is the series making a return, Mary-Louise Parker is attached to the project and will reprise her role as Nancy Botwin along with serving as an executive producer if the show ends up receiving a series order. “As excited as we are about our new series, I want to remind everyone that ‘the old is also new,’ and we’re pleased to be bringing two of the most acclaimed shows in television history,  Mad Men  and  Weeds , to the global syndication marketplace next year,” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. “We’re thrilled to be back in business with series star and producer Mary Louise Parker on what we’re calling Weeds 4.20 , already in active development at Starz, as we prepare a comprehensive and integrated rollout for one of television’s most beloved properties.” Series creator Jenji Kohan –who is also known for her work on Orange Is the New Black– is not currently attached to the revival, but former Weeds writer and co-executive producer Victoria Morrow is acting as the creative lead. As for what kind of story will be happening within this new addition to the series, it’s been hinted that the show will start with a 10-year time jump from the original series finale–which means the story will pick up in an era where marijuana is legal in an increasing number of states. Though Weeds has a huge following and was beloved while it was on the air, a lot of the show’s biggest fans were disappointed by the last couple seasons of the show, so bringing it back for even more is an interesting decision. Guess we’ll have to wait for the new show to air for us to find out whether or not this revival is worth it. Will you be watching?!

You Can’t Be Serious: White Restaurant Owner Only Sentenced To 10 Years For Enslaving, Burning, And Beating Mentally Ill Black “Employee”

Source: Mint Images / Getty White Restaurant Owner Only Sentenced 10 Years For Enslaving Black Man We’re warning you now, this story is going to REALLY piss you off. According to CNN , the manager of a South Carolina restaurant, Bobby Paul Edwards, has been sentenced to only ten years in prison for torturing and enslaving a mentally ill Black man named John Christopher Smith for, wait for it, SEVENTEEN YEARS! Smith began washing dishes at J and J Cafeteria in Conway, South Cack as a 12-year-old boy, when Edwards took over as manager, his life turned into a living hell. Edwards yelled racial epithets at Smith, beat him with a belt, hit him with pots and pans, and burned him with scalding hot tongs to “make him work faster”. In a WPDE interview, Smith says he was afraid to lose his job so he did whatever Smith told him, including being confined to a back room whenever his family would come into the restaurant. “I wanted to get out of there a long time ago. But I didn’t have nobody I could go to,” he said. He said he was denied access even to his own family. “I couldn’t go anywhere. I couldn’t see none of my family so that was that,” he said. “That’s the main basic thing I wanted to see was my mom come see me. I couldn’t see my mom…and I couldn’t talk to nobody.” Edwards is almost 40-years-old now and he would have never been freed from his slavery if not for a customer who called police after noticing a bevy of scars on his hands and body as he brought them their food. “It is almost inconceivable that instances of forced labor endure in this country to this day — a century and a half after the Emancipation Proclamation,” said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. “The Department of Justice will continue to investigate, prosecute, and convict human traffickers involved in forced labor, seeking justice on behalf of their victims.” In a press release, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Edwards was sentenced to a decade in prison FOR SLAVERY and forced to pay Mr. Smith $272,952.96 in restitution. Only. Ten. Years. FOR SLAVERY. We hate it here.

T.I. Reveals He Intrusively Attends Daughter Deyjah’s Gynecologist Appointments To ‘Make Sure Her Hymen’s Intact’

Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Poor Deyjah! T.I. Reveals He Intrusively Attends Daughter Deyjah’s Gynecologist Appointments This is an inappropriate and intrusive practice rooted in patriarchy, Tip. T.I. recently made a shocking revelation that’s going viral. The rap dad was a guest on Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham’s “Ladies Like Us” podcast and spoke on a number of things including marriage advice for Nazanin who recently married her longtime love Miguel. Things were especially interesting however when the group discussed parenting and the “sex talk.” According to T.I. he’s not only had the sex talk with his kids, but he’s also especially interested in making sure his second-oldest daughter Deyjah remains pure. According to T.I. he makes it a point to make sure the 18-year-old isn’t sexually active and actually attends her gynecologist appointments to ensure her hymen is intact. View this post on Instagram set: @fashionnova #AD A post shared by Deyjah Harris (@princess_of_da_south) on Oct 4, 2019 at 2:20pm PDT Tip said he’s been doing this practice since his daughter’s 16th birthday and brushed off a doctor telling him that a woman’s hymen could be broken in different ways other than sexual activity. “Have I? This is the thing. Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself,” he said. “And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen,” said Tip while the hosts laughed. “So it’s this one time we go, I think this might have been after her 16th birthday. This is what we do. Right after the birthday we celebrate,” he said. “Usually like the day after the party she’s enjoying her gifts. I put a sticky note on the door: ‘Gyno. Tomorrow. 9:30.’ So we’ll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk and the doctor’s maintaining a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘You know sir, I have to, in order to share information’ — I’m like, ‘Deyjah they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you wouldn’t want me to know? See doc? No problem.’ And so then they come and say, ‘Well I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding and just other forms of athletic physical activity.’ So I say, ‘Look doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen please and give me back my results expeditiously. ‘” He also proudly told the ladies that as of Deyjah’s 18th birthday, “her hymen is still intact” and he thinks it’s a surefire way to keep boys away from the college student. “They’re no fun. Who wants a virgin?” he asked. “Like really? All that work!” Tip, this is pretty problematic and it’s causing a firestorm of controversy from folks who can’t believe that T.I. is policing his daughter’s body. People are also wondering if he was THIS interested in his sons remaining virgins. View this post on Instagram what’s your zodiac sign? outfit: @gsuwoo A post shared by Deyjah Harris (@princess_of_da_south) on Dec 9, 2018 at 12:30pm PST The answer to that question is presumably NO, our sister MadameNoire pointed out that during an episode of “The Family Hustle” Tip found out that his son King, a high schooler, isn’t a virgin and he brushed it off. Source: Prince Williams / ATLPics.Net We’re hoping that Tip will explain this 1920s-esque patriarchal practice with Deyjah ExpediTIously cause this is NOT cool.
