Read more:

F or those people who are looking for a cinematic escape this July 4th, a movie marathon is a perfect way to spend the day. There are tons of films with Black casts that will keep you laughing and not sweating from the outside heat. Let’s face it, laughter is the best medicine especially with the Trump stress weighing down on communities across the nation. For an added bonus, BBQ Becky won’t show up to stop the fun in any of the movies on this list. People can grab their movie snacks or some barbecue, sit back and enjoy the show. Here are some good choices for your movie and chill day. See Also: ‘Troubling’ Video Shows Cops Assaulting Innocent Mother And Yanking Her Baby Away ATL This 2006 film starred T.I. and Lauren London , taking viewers into the world of roller skating in Atlanta. The high school-age characters also face several pivotal turning points in their lives. The Cookout This 2004 movie starred Quran Pender , Queen Latifah and Jenifer Lewis . As the name implies, a Black family comes together for a cookout that gets pretty interesting. Boyz n The Hood This 1991 film is one of the classics. The movie, set in inner-city Los Angeles, catapulted  Nia Long , Morris Chestnut , Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube to fame. The Inkwell A young Larenz Tate and Jada Pinkett (before she married Will Smith ) light up the screen in this 1994 film. Before Tate captured women’s affections in Love Jones, he captured hearts in this coming-of-age film set in Martha’s Vineyard during the Fourth Of July weekend of 1976. Poetic Justice The legendary Maya Angelou provided the poetic words that powered this 1993 film that starred the iconic Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur . Jackson and Shakur’s characters fall in love in the film, which featured a barbecue scene. Do The Right Thing This 1989 film was one of Spike Lee ‘s memorable and rawest journeys into inner-city life. Set on the hottest day of the year in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York, the film is a searing look at what happens when heat meets hate as the characters struggle with racial frustrations that ultimately boil over into chaos. But in reaching the tipping point, Lee still shows the community’s spirit. Barbershop 2: Back In Business This 2004 comedy starring Ice Cube and Queen Latifah will bring the laughs. The movie, focused on a Chicago barbershop’s importance to its community, has a barbecue scene that shows off Latifah and Cedric the Entertainer ‘s comedic chops. Menace II Society This 1993 film is another cult classic that stars Pinkett and Tate. At the heart of the film set in Watts, Calfornia, the main character, Caine, played by Tyrin Turner , is trying to find his way to a better life. Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins This 2008 film isn’t one of Martin Lawrence ‘s best-known films, but it stars a lot of comedian talents including Mo’ Nique , Cedric The Entertainer and Mike Epps . Lawrence’s character returns home after achieving fame only to find out that his family could care less about his status. How Stella Got Her Groove Back This 1998 film had a braided-up Angela Bassett finding her to Jamaica to, well, get her groove back after a divorce and some major work stress. While there, she meets a young man played by Taye Diggs that piques her interest. Then, their lives both intertwine and change forever. Oh, there’s a good barbecue scene in this film, too.

‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: OG Gets In The Middle Of CeCe And Kristen’s Drama

More:

Source: Hollywood To You/Star Max / Getty Tonight we pick up Basketball Wives from the aftermath of Shaunie giving Jennifer a hug. Yup. Shaunie got over her animosity toward Jennifer to try to convince Evelyn to come around too, but Evelyn isn’t having it. She says Jenn can use her mom dying as an excuse to be a jerk all she wants but it won’t change the fact that she was talking smack about Shaniece since before her mother died. In other words, Evelyn is not ready to come around and that’s that.  Later on, we find Malaysia kicking it with CeCe and OG. The latter two have been besties lately, so much so that OG rolls her eyes when Malaysia mentions Kristen’s name. OG feels some type of way about Kristen due to their tiff at last season’s reunion (Kristen tried to shame her for not being married or having kids), but also because CeCe has been filling her in about her drama. The general sentiment, outside of Malaysia, is that Kristen is fake. This starts getting under Malaysia’s skin because she feels like CeCe has been telling OG stuff that she’s not telling everyone else, which is counterproductive to her mission of trying to get her family on the same page. This is going to blow up in a major way.  In other news, Tami Roman is still around. She has been pulling a Kim Zolciak this season — you know — not wanting to really participate in filming with the other women. However, she does address Kenny Anderon’s stroke. She and her daughters are saddened by it. Speaking of her daughters, they feel like the only thing worse would be if something happens to her and so, they request that she stop smoking. Later on, Tami goes to a hypnotist because she has tried everything else in the world to give up smoking…except for this. Progress pending, because Tami fell asleep during the session.  Finally, we get to the part of the episode where everything falls apart. Evelyn’s new business venture involves a skincare line formulated with CBD. So, we’re at the part where Evelyn brings the group together to test out her products, but the real reason we’re here is so that OG and Kristen can face off.  It all goes downhill when OG walks in and Malaysia decides to be messy by bringing up when OG said that Kristen was fake. Malaysia also asks CeCe if she said something to OG in private that she shouldn’t have said. Basically, OG mentioned that she feels like CeCe tells her the truth about how she feels, but tells everyone else that everything is okay and that she and Kirsten are fine. Lies. Anyway, CeCe said she didn’t say anything off to OG at all and that they don’t even talk about Kristen when they hang out. OG feels like she’s holding on to a piece of anger from CeCe that CeCe is hesitant to share. Then OG finally decides to stop holding back and calls Kristen fake. Then she unloads more about how Kristen borrowed clothes and shoes from CeCe. They obviously start arguing and then OG blurts that Kristen and Thomas aren’t real Scotts because the man we’ve been seeing on camera thus far isn’t Thomas’ actual dad, but they just want the world to think they’re basketball royalty (Byron actually raised Thomas though).  Kristen starts wilding out, She calls OG’s man gay, and starts trying to get at OG like she wants to try to fight but she gets restrained (and OG definitely isn’t scared). Shaunie steps in and chastises OG, talking about how she’s out of line and it’s not her place to reveal personal secrets like this, yatta yatta. Shaunie, Malaysia, and Feby try to keep Kristen at bay since they don’t have Love and Hip-Hop levels of security, and Jackie tells OG she’s out of line. CeCe said OG obviously threw that out to hurt Kristen but that the info isn’t a secret so she’s surprised about Kristen’s reaction.  Meanwhile, Shaunie continues telling OG how wrong she was until OG said that CeCe gave her this info. Then Shaunie goes out and tells Kristen that Cece passed that info to OG. This causes Kristen to try to go charging back in the room. She gets restrained, but then. Malaysia goes back in to confront CeCe because she just asked if CeCe had told OG any secrets. CeCe admits to spilling the tea but added that it’s not a secret and she’s actually surprised that Kristen is acting the way she is. Y’all, Kristen is kicking, screaming, and in tears as if this was the first time she heard this news about her man. Then Malaysia starts going off on OG because she feels like OG is trying to keep her family apart.  Now everyone thinks CeCe has been playing puppet master all this time. They think CeCe told OG all this stuff because she knew OG would be the one to put this stuff out there and say the things CeCe is too afraid to say.  Wouldn’t be the first time for someone on this show to do that.  Anyway, the petty drama returns next week.

Briana DeJesus: Jenelle Evans Has the RIGHT to Endanger Her Kids!

Jenelle Evans chose her husband, David Eason, over the safety of her children, even after he brutally murdered their dog in front of them. One piece of good news is that Maryssa, Jace, Kaiser, and Ensley are not living on The Land right now. Another is that they hopefully won't be put back in harm's way — at least, not right now. Reports say that Jenelle Evans' custody battle could go on for months . That should at least buy the children some time. But Jenelle's (former) castmate, Briana DeJesus, thinks that it's wrong to keep the kids relatively safe. She thinks that they should be sent back to Jenelle's trauma factory of a house. Why? Because Briana believes that kids should stay with their moms — no matter what . 1. Briana is Team Jenelle! They’ve been friends for a while. Some friends would express concern about allegations that David has been abusing Jenelle and her children for years. 2. That’s right — the kids and dogs aren’t the only ones at risk Remember when Jenelle dialed 911 and described David assaulting her but later claimed that it was a misunderstanding? Sure, Jan. But Briana doesn’t seem too worried. 3. Even Briana hasn’t heard from her much lately She’s admitted that she hasn’t spoken to Jenelle regularly since David Eason’s brutal murder of Nugget. 4. That continued even after CPS came for the kids The court acted swiftly and in the best interests of the children by removing them from Jenelle and David’s house of horrors due to Jenelle’s “failure to protect” them. 5. Briana says she understands the unreturned texts “I haven’t spoken to Jenelle in a bit,” Briana admits to RadarOnline. “Due to the fact that she’s clearly tied up, dealing with a lot right now.” 6. Then Briana throws her support behind Jenelle “With that being said,” Briana announces. “I believe all kids should be with their moms, especially the younger ones.” View Slideshow

Demi Lovato is Totally Crushing on This Bachelorette Suitor

Mike Johnson was sent packing on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette . It was a heartbreaking development for the contestant, who straight up told Hannah Brown that he could picture himself proposing someday… … only for Brown to NOT echo this sentiment and, consequently, NOT give Mike a rose after their one-on-one date. A portfolio manager who lives in San Antonio, Mike followed up his rejection on the episode by Tweeting the following: Jus saying, my future wife though… girl you ready for smiles, adventure, comfort, growth, honesty, laughter, me falling using my inhaler and kissing your stretch marks and imperfections. He concluded by asking: Where u hiding? The answer, as it turns out, is: Hollywood! Demi Lovato, who had Tweeted here and there about Mike during his Bachelorette journey, actually responded to this message, hilariously writing: I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO. The artist has openly crushed on Mike for weeks, as she watched Monday’s installment via her Instagram Story as times and can be heard on there at one point saying of the aspiring husband. “Swing me, kiss me! Boo boo.” She even wrote “Mike I accept your rose” in one of her Stories. EEEEK, right?!? As far as we know, a celebrity has never dated a scorned contestant on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. But there’s a first time for everything, right? We swear, we heard that once. Lovato, who has mostly been laying low while she recovers from her near-fatal overdose last summer, is an avid and unabashed fan of The Bachelorette this season. She’s been cheering Mike on from the outset, while agreeing with everyone out there not named Hannah Brown is loudly trashing awful front-runner Luke Parker. “Hannah, honey, do not trust him!!!!!!” Lovato captioned a clip of the dating series on her Instagram Stories last month. She posted this note to Hannah after Luke declared his love for the show’s lead; like two hours after meeting her for the first time. “Huh?! How?!” she wrote in response to this L-Bomb dropping, adding: “I’m uncomfortable. I’m cringing.” She’s also single. As far as we know, at least. So there you have it, Mike Johnson. We know you’re in the running to be the next The Bachelor, but why bother going through that exercise? Why waste your time with potential wives who will yell and argue and make you feel so very awkward at times? Demi Lovato is right here. And she’s totally awesome. We think you know what you have to do. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Gets Exposed? Who Wins Hannah’s Heart? [UPDATED]

Emma Portner to Justin Bieber: The Way You Degrade Women is an Abomination

Taylor Swift spoke out against a hurtful injustice, only to get accused by Justin Bieber of just wanting attention . Since then, a number of other stars have spoken out in her defense, clapping back at the Biebs for being a douche. Now Emma Portner is speaking about time she spent working for Justin, accusing him of degrading women and grossly underpaying her. 24-year-old choreographer Emma Portner, who is notably Ellen Page’s wife, has spoken out in her Instagram Stories. “Justin Bieber, I regret working under your name,” Emma Portner’s post begins. “I gave you universe my naive body, creativity, time, and effort,” she writes, adding: “Twice.” Emma did this “for content that you made millions off of. While I mad zilch. Nada. Barely anything.” She describes her pay as having been “less than minimum wage for the hours I invested.” “I couldn’t afford to eat,” Emma Portner recalls. She adds: “I was sweeping studio floors to be able to practice my craft.” “The way you degrade women is an abomination,” Emma accuses. She notes: “You continue to collaborate with overly problematic people.” That’s an understatement. Justin gets along alarmingly well with the likes of Chris Brown and (formerly) Floyd Mayweather. “You religiously go to a church that does not support the LGBTQ+ community,” Emma observes. She’s not attacking his faith, but rather where he chooses to practice it. Emma admits that she cannot help but wonder how he feels about working with lesbians like herself and other LGBTQ+ folks. “I can only hope for your enlightenment,” she expresses. “That you read a ton of books.” She even offers to buy him some helpful literature to “change the way your traumatized brain thinks.” Emma also included a post about how one can be glad that they had opportunities while still holding people accountable for mistreatment. That’s very fair. It’s no mystery at all why Emma is speaking out about this now. Over the weekend, Taylor Swift put Scooter Braun on blast for what she described as a history of cruelty and bullying. She had learned, to her horror, that he will soon own the majority of her discography. The Biebs spoke in defense of his manager, and suggested that Taylor was only saying these things to make people pity her. The thing is that other singers and professionals have come out of the woodwork since Taylor spoke out. Additionally, fans have been posting old videos that lend more weight to Taylor’s claims. Madison Beer — who rose to fame after catching Justin’s eye years ago — once shared that her entire music career was swept out from under her. In other footage, Ariana Grande is heard briefly admitting that aspects of her album’s tracklist were not under her control, but under Scooter’s. When Taylor speaks out, she doesn’t have to provide receipts — her fans will whip them out on her behalf. Other celebrities have spoken in praise of her, including Halsey. Taylor Swift knows that speaking out isn’t likely to stop Scooter Braun from assuming ownership of her life’s work. She can’t stop it — she wasn’t even given the opportunity to bid on it, and didn’t know about the sale until it had already happened. But just because you can’t change what has happened doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tell the world what powerful men do behind closed doors. Taylor knows that. But maybe public pressure and scrutiny will encourage Scooter to offer Taylor a deal, even if it’s only to save his reputation. But that won’t happen as long as he is ardently defended by the likes of Justin Bieber. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber Spills on Sex with Hailey Baldwin: It’s a Blessing from God!
