Lupita Nyong’o To Explore History Of All-Women African Army In New Documentary

T hroughout her career actress Lupita Nyong’o has brought the narratives of strong Black women to the big screen, and now the Black Panther star will delve into the real-life unsung stories of African women warriors. According to Deadline , Nyong’o will be featured in an upcoming documentary centered on an all-women army from West Africa. ‘Black Panther’ Star Lupita Nyong’o To Search For Forgotten Female Army In Channel 4 Doc https://t.co/WKPrjn4pOv pic.twitter.com/XhbrDupQtI — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) September 27, 2019 The project—dubbed Warrior Women with Lupita Nyong’o —will be featured on the UK broadcast network Channel 4. The documentary will uncover the history behind a group called Agoji; an army of 4,000 women who battled against Europeans and Africans in the Kingdom of Dahomey between the 17th and 19th centuries. Nyong’o will journey through Benin to explore the army’s legacy. “This was a unique opportunity to combine Lupita Nyong’o s passion and forensic interest in the power and origin of stories with grassroots research in Benin. The Agojie women were recruited by their kings across three centuries and fought in huge numbers in highly-trained battalions,” said Bettany Hughes who serves as Creative Director at SandStone Global; the company producing the documentary. “Women have frequently been written out of history, and powerful women fetishized – this is a case in point. Lupita Nyong’o asks searing questions about power play in history and who tells whose story.” The Agoji army served as inspiration for the all-women army in Black Panther . Nyong’o has a few projects in the works. According to the Hollywood Reporter , she will star in a 10-episode series titled Americanah which is based on the award-winning novel written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie . The story focuses on a Nigerian-born woman who travels to America where she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Nyong’o says she strives to use her artistry as a way to impact people’s lives. “I’m not weighted by it at all. I’m inspired by it. I know that every time such an opportunity comes my way, it is changing the narrative,” she told AnOther Magazine in an interview. “Every time someone shares their experience of how I might have affected them, I’m very happy for that, but I don’t do it for the symbolism. I think the thing that’s steering me forward is not to be a symbol, it’s to be active.” SEE ALSO: Lupita Nyong’o To Release Children’s Book About Being Color Struck Actress Regina Hall Receives Honorary Degree From Dillard University [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3887878″ overlay=”true”]

Demi Moore Says Her Mother Paid a Man to Rape Her

Demi Moore has gone public with a truly shocking and harrowing admission. It has to do with something that happened to the actress as a teenager… her mother’s role in this tragedy… and the affect it continues to have on the star. According to Moore in her just-released memoir, “Inside Out,” her very own mother orchestrated a sexual assault against Moore when the actress was 15 years old. In this book, Moore claims that her alcoholic mother, Virginia King, began taking her to bars to get noticed by men when Moore was a young teenager. One night, she came home to find an older man there … in possession of a key to the apartment. After this man had raped her, Moore alleges he said her mother had sold her to him. In the book, she writes: “It was rape. And a devastating betrayal, revealed by the man’s cruel question: how does it feel to be whored by your mother for $500?” Asked if she believed the man, Moore told Diane Sawyer in an interview  this week: “I think, in my deep heart no. I don’t think it was a straightforward transaction. But she still did give him the access, and put me in harm’s way.” Moore’s mother died in 1998. At the age of 12, Moore writes that her mom tried to commit suicide and she was the one who saved her life. “I remember using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow, out of her mouth,” Moore writes in the memoir, labeling this a “life-changing moment” for her. The actress would go on to check into rehab drug and alcohol abuse in the mid 1980s, prior to making it huge in Hollywood with roles in such blockbusters as Ghost, A Few Good Men and Indecent Proposal. She has made numerous headlines over the past several due to the many revelations in this book, such as: – One of the reasons she split from ex-husband Ashton Kutcher is that he talked her into threesomes that she later regretted . – She miscarried a baby girl six months into her pregnancy back when she was married to Kutcher. – After her divorce from Kutcher, she dropped down to 102 pounds and collapsed at a party and was hospitalised after smoking synthetic cannabis and inhaling nitrous oxide at one point. “I guess the fundamental question that came forward for me was, ‘How did I get here?'” Moore shared with Sawyer, referencing the party collapse and adding: “I mean, from where I started to what I’ve experienced, where I’ve been, how did I get here?” Continued the actress of this time period: “I lost me. I think the thing, if I were to look back, I would say, I blinded myself and I lost myself.” Inside Out went on sale on Tuesday, September 24. We wish Demi Moore the best.

Amy Roloff: EEEK! Look at My Engagement Ring!

Amy Roloff no longer needs to contain her excitement. The secret is out. The celebration can begin! And so can the beautiful ring flaunting… On Friday evening, hours after Amy and Chris Marek confirmed their engagement , the Little People, Big World posted her own announcement on Instagram — along with a brand new photo. Of her smiling face. And her gorgeous, shiny piece of bling. :Guess what! I wanted to share with you- I’m engaged!” wrote a very excited Amy, adding on her official account: “I was so surprised when Chris asked me to marry him. I said YES. I couldn’t be happier and so looking forward to this new part of our life journey together. “I’m blessed. Love you Chris. I love us.” Amy and Chris have been dating for nearly three years. The long-time reality star was previously married to Matt Roloff, with whom she still works and often interacts, for about 27 years welcoming four amazing kids into the world together. Said Amy to People Magazine prior to sharing the huge engagement news on social media herself: I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled! I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited. Amy turned 55 on September 17 and Chris proposed a day later, as a belated and very special birthday gift. Rarely one to speak to the media, he also got a few words in with People, telling the publication yesterday: “I was very nervous! It had to be a heart shaped diamond because I knew that’s what Amy wanted.” There had been speculation for months about these two getting engaged, partly because they have been together for so long and partly because they just seem so happy together. Rarely do a few days go by without Amy posting some image online of her and Marek smiling up a storm together. Just about a month ago, we heard rumors of Roloff pushing Marek to propose , but it doesn’t sound like there was any real pressure placed on him here. He simply found the woman of his dreams and figured it was about time to pop the question. This news merely adds to what ought to be a VERY exciting next several months for this famous family: Tori Roloff is expecting a girl in November. Audrey Roloff is expecting a boy in January. And now a wedding will take place at some point in the near future as well. No public word yet from any other Roloff on this engagement, but allow us to jump in and simply say  the following: CONGRATULATIONS!

Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Share Baby Registry With Fans: Buy Us Stuff, Y’all!

If you’re a Counting On fan, then you’re probably already aware that we’re in the middle of a full-blown Duggar baby boom . No fewer than four Duggar couples are currently expecting, and Jessa Duggar just welcomed her third child in May. Of course, the bulk of the public’s attention is being paid to the couples who are expecting for the first time — couples like Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson. Back in May, the Duggars announced that Lauren is pregnant . The news was met with an even larger tidal wave of encouragement and enthusiasm than usual, owing to the fact that Swanson suffered a miscarriage in February. So despite the fact that half his freakin’ family has a kid on the way Josiah and Lauren are very much in the spotlight right now. In fact, more than any other time since their wedding, the couple is at the center of fans’ attention. And it looks as though they’re seeking to cash in on the opportunity. Yes, Josiah and Lauren are now participating in one of the most controversial Duggar traditions by posting their baby registry online so that fans can buy them items from the list. “Thank you for visiting our baby registry! We are so thankful and blessed for our sweet baby girl that’s on the way,” reads a greeting on the couple’s website. Most of the items are standard — such as diapers, baby monitors, and nursery decor, but there’s also an option to simply purchase Amazon gift cards for Josiah and Lauren. As for the nursery, Josiah and Lauren are expecting a girl , but they’ve encouraged fans not to go overboard on pink baby furniture. “As far as [the] nursery,” they wrote, “we are going with more of a gender neutral theme (black, white, wood).” Not surprisingly, the reaction to fans has been less than ebullient: “I may be wrong but TLC and their personal appearances [probably] pay them well,” wrote one visitor to the website. “Donate to a charity in their name [instead].”  The Duggars have been down this road before, such as when they took flak for posting Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s baby registry on several websites related to family news and events/  “Very, very uncool. … There are ways to circulate this info to the guests. This is a gift solicitation for the FANS,” wrote one fan at the time. Many others echoed the sentiment, and the registry was eventually taken down. We guess Josiah and Lauren didn’t learn from that debacle. But hey, we guess it’s less shady than when Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar begged fans for cash , straight-out! Maybe the Duggars are very slowly learning how to not seem so desperate! View Slideshow: Josiah and Lauren Duggar Reveal Gender of First Baby (EEEEK!!!!!)

Amy Roloff and Chris Marek: ENGAGED!! It’s Finally Happening!

A Little People, Big World star has some rather huge news to share: SHE’S ENGAGED! Amy Roloff has confirmed to People Magazine that she and Chris Marek have finally agreed to marry, several months after the Internet started to wonder in earnest just when this special development might take place. “I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled!” Amy tells People , adding to the publication: “I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited.” Marek popped the major question at dinner on Wednesday night, a day after Amy’s birthday. He rarely talks to the press, but such a special occasion calls for a special opportunity, prompting Marek to say the following to People of Roloff and their engagement: “I was very nervous! It had to be a heart shaped diamond because I knew that’s what Amy wanted.” Mere days ago, social media users took a close look at a photo of Amy and wondered whether she and Marek were engaged. These same social media users had posed the same question numerous times before, figuring a proposal simply had to be in the works. Amy was previously married to Matt Roloff, with whom she shares four children: twin brothers Jeremy and Zach, 29, daughter Molly, 26, and youngest son Jacob, 22. She filed for divorce in 2015 after 27 years of marriage and recently opened up in her memoir about Matt at least having had an emotional affair toward the end of their relationship. Still, the exes remain very close, co-starring on Little People, Big World every season and even living on the same farm property until just a few months ago. Amy has been with Marek for about three years. In a December of 2016 episode of her family’s TLC reality show, Amy told Molly about her single life and hitting it off with Marek. “I’m having a good time,” she said way back then. “You know, I had a couple of pool parties. I had, like, 40 people here. No, I probably had, like, 50 people here. “Then this guy Chris that I met, he came to the party, too. We got to talking and he invited me to go on a motorcycle ride. Oh, I’m having a ball!” Since this time, since they started to get serious, Amy has accompanied Chris on a number of motorcycle rides and trips; she has often documented these outings on Instagram. Despite her clearly strong feelings for Chris, Amy often pushed back on the idea of getting married for a second time. Why? Because she feared getting hurt again — and also because she formerly had some doubts about whether she and Marek could truly work. Speaking with her girlfriends about her relationship with Marek in 2017, Roloff confessed that she didn’t think she’d find love with someone of average height. “I just never thought someone who is average size would be interested in me,” she said in a TLC clip from from that tear. “I just really want him to never question or doubt the relationship because I’m a little person…” “I just have a good time. I have fun with him. I never thought I’d be dating as a grandma, and it’s nice to experience that and be with someone.” Marek and Roloff just attended Jacob Roloff’s wedding last weekend. View Slideshow: Jacob Roloff Wedding Day: See All the Beautiful Pics! Their engagement news is merely the latest reason for this family to be quite excited for the year ahead: There will now be a wedding at some point… Tori Roloff is due to give birth around Thanksgiving… and Audrey Roloff is due to give birth in January 2020. So exciting all around!
