Will You Be Watching? Actress AJ Johnson Talks New Movie “Sins Of The Father” (Exclusive)

Source: Maury Phillips / Getty “House Party” Actress Back With New Movie “Sins Of The Father” Fans may remember AJ Johnson for her iconic roles as “Sharane” in “House Party” and “Juanita” in “Baby Boy.” Now, the NJ born and bred actress is back with a new movie on TVOne “Sins of The Father,” about the murder of the wife of an Atlanta-area pastor, a crime that sends shockwaves through their close-knit community. However things aren’t what they seem and as law enforcement’s investigation unfolds, secret lives filled with lust, adultery, and corruption come to the surface. Johnson plays the no-nonsense Det. Phylicia Richardson, who is tasked with unraveling the mystery murder of the church’s First Lady. “Phylicia Richardson is actually AJ Johnson before Hollywood,” Johnson told BOSSIP by phone. “Phylicia is the bookworm, the intellectual…now, she’s been given a platform to be all of who she is – now we get to see her work her magic on this case that has gone cold.” Source: Gabriel Olsen / Getty The thespian said she and director Jamal Hill had full creative control of the movie, often shooting up to 15 hours a day and then meeting to rewrite scenes for the next day. The movie, which was shot in Atlanta, was years in the making for Johnson, who said that she wanted to find the right role after the critical acclaim of “Baby Boy.” “I personally have been waiting for a project that helped me not to miss my experience in ‘Baby Boy,’ which was my last dramatic role,” she said. “ John Singleton and his way of creating spoiled me. So I was waiting for that kind of role, that kind of director…Then TV One called, and I felt like it was an answered prayer right there.” Johnson said she hopes that viewers will take away that the truth always comes to light. “We’re living in a time and space where corruption, deceit and adultery exit in certain areas,” Johnson explained. “Between cell phones and social media, so much is exposed, why not expose the dark in the church community, and correct it?” “Sins of the Father” will air July 7 at 8 P.M. (EST) on TVOne.

2020 Election: Kamala Harris Takes A Bite Out Of Joe Biden’s Poll Lead After Busing Debate Criticism [Video]

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kamala Harris Sees Major Bump In Polls After Biden Busing Criticism The Democratic debate last week helped create more distinction between the nearly two dozen names in the 2020 Presidential campaign hat. One of the biggest beneficiaries of that debate is Senator Kamala Harris who got a lot of air-time on cable news networks after she took a bite out of Joe Biden and his record on busing Black students to predominantly white schools. The race to the White House will be tense and likely very close, every little gain in the poll matters. Thoughts on Kamala Harris and her campaign up to this point?

Ayanna Pressley Calls Out Democrats For Not Supporting Black Women Candidates

View original post here:

M assachusetts Representative-elect Ayanna Pressley remained true to the message she shared with NewsOne before winning her primary race for Congress: The Democratic Party is at a crossroads and must support Black female candidates to succeed in the future. “I think our campaign is asking the question, ‘Democrats, are we really who we say we are or do we just roll out hashtags and bumper stickers to make for cute slogans’?” she told NewsOne when asked about the party’s failure to support her and other women of color. See Also: Blue Party: Say Hello To The Black Wave At a gathering Tuesday of party donors in Washington, D.C., Pressley talked to the audience about the record high number of Democratic female candidates who won elections in 2018, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by BuzzFeed News . “Now we must push ourselves to ask the tough questions about whether or not we provided them with the institutional support so we can break through more glass and concrete ceilings as rapidly as possible,” she said, adding that the party must invest in candidate diversity, as well as inclusion at the staff level. #NOTheOne is giving shine to all the Black women currently owning the political space this season. Catch up on Ayanna Pressley's story and learn how she's changing the narrative. https://t.co/hvrDqMnZ3U pic.twitter.com/xzYH4Svt5p — NewsOne (@newsone) September 27, 2018 The House freshman class is the most racially and gender diverse in history, as the New York Times  mapped out. It includes several members who are the first African-American women to represent their state or district, including Pressley, Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Jahana Hayes from Connecticut and Georgia’s Lucy McBath . Unlike the other three, Pressley and many other Black female candidates received no support from the Democratic Party. Indeed, the party’s establishment backed Pressley’s primary opponent, 10-term incumbent Rep. Michael E. Capuano . Despite trailing in the polls leading up to the September primary, Pressley won 58.9 percent of the vote to his 41.1 percent. Pressley, who was a Boston city council member, vowed to champion bread-and-butter issues for her constituents, such as improved housing, public health and education, as well as economic development and criminal justice reform. She connected with struggling working-class families by promoting those progressive issues, she told NewsOne. At the gathering Tuesday in the nation’s capital, Pressley told her audience that she discovered a “mandate for hope” while running her own campaign and supporting the campaign of other insurgent candidates. She urged party leaders to take careful note as they navigate a course for the 2020 elections.

Ray J Denies Saying All That Sex Stuff About Kim Kardashian

Ray J may have hit it first. But the hip hop artist now insists: He is not trying to have the last laugh. Earlier this week, Ray J found himself back in the news after The Sun alleged that he got very drunk in a London club and blurted out some fascinating stuff about Kim Kardashian. Specifically, some fascinating stuff about Kim Kardashian in bed . According to this awesome report, Kim sometimes adjusts her makeup DURING SEX. She also sometimes took phone calls from her mom DURING SEX. Oh, and Kim had a check of lingerie and sex toys worth about $100,000 during her time as Ray J’s girlfriend, which lasted from about 2005 through 2007. The ex-couple, of course, continues to be well-known for their relationship because it culminated in the world famous Kim Kardashian sex tape , Kim Kardashian Superstar . The above claims by Ray J received so much attention that the story actually reached Kim herself. She wrote on Twitter that her former flame was a “pathological liar.” Now, however, Ray J is here to defend himself, alleging that he never did utter a word about what Kim was like in the sack and that he never would do such a thing. “Yo! This is Ray J checking in. I felt like I needed to come online to shut down all of these false rumors that’s going around about me and what I said about somebody I’ve been with in the past,” the occasional singer said in an Instagram video yesterday. He continued as follows: “Let me make this one thing clear: I’m in a great place in my life. I’m happy. I love my wife. I got a beautiful new baby girl — her name is Melody Love Norwood — and I’ve been trying to be the best parent I can be. “I would never say these things after watching my wife go through labor for 28 hours. OK?” Ray J is saying he has a newfound respect for women after witnessing such a miraculous event. Which is actually sort of cool if he means it. This is the same person, remember, who told folks to pleasure themselves to his sex tape because he still (yes, he STILL) makes money off every purchase. Referring to the allegations that he spilled on sex with Kim as “disgusting,” Ray J went on to say that “the person I am now is not who I was in the past, and I need y’all to give me a chance to grow, and to love and to respect the people I’m with without trying to slander my name, please.” As for The Man Upstairs? “God is working, and obviously the devil is trying to work, too, but it will not happen,” Ray J continued. “I will not let that happen, y’all. I love my wife and I have nothing but respect for everybody out there, past and present. False rumors.” The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood went on and on with his denial, seriously adament that he had moved far on from Kim: “I’ve done at least 10 interviews in the past 2weeks in #London and I’ve been respectful to everyone! “These rumors are false and uncalled for! My family is all that matters and that’s all I live for. The old ray J is dead. Let him RIP. I’m a new man with new responsibilities and moral values. “Don’t believe everything you read. Much love and respect!” View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Goes Nude, Gets Candid About Sex Same to you, man. You’ve made quite a life for yourself off giving it to Kim that one time in front of a camera. And you have a lovely wife and beautiful baby at home now. You’re clearly a changed and respectful person and we wish you the best. But come on. You can tell us quietly: What was Kim’s favorite position?!?

Anna Duggar Still Trying to Make Fans Forgive Creep Husband

For weeks now, we’ve been talking about Josh Duggar’s comeback tour . We regret to inform you that it’s still in full swing, and some of the people who were most brutally victimized by Josh are putting all of their efforts into helping him rebuild his reputation. As you’re likely aware, midterm elections were held all over America yesterday, and many celebs took to social media to help get out the vote. Anna Duggar was one such civic-minded public figure. She posted the patriotic family photo above along with the following caption: “It’s election day!” Anna wrote. “Voting is a wonderful freedom, opportunity, and responsibility, and the outcome of this election will greatly affect our families and the future of this great nation.  “Let’s use this responsibility wisely! #vote #littleduggars.” Of course, Anna’s message about heading out to the polls was overshadowed by the presence of Josh on her page. In the years that followed the Josh Duggar sex scandals , the father of five mostly kept a low profile, but these days he’s all over social media once again. As In Touch Weekly points out, the reaction to Anna posting a pic of her husband was decidedly mixed. “Awwwww missed seeing you and your family,” wrote one follower. “You guys look great!!! I’m so happy to see all of you!!!” commented another. On the other side of the debate were Duggar fans who would be happy to never again lay eyes on Josh. “It breaks my heart every time I see a pic of Anna and her children with Josh. They deserve better than him,” wrote one such user. After years of keeping a safe distance from social media, Josh has been making public appearances again, often with Anna and other members of his famous family by his side. The Duggars probably feel that enough time has passed and it’s now appropriate for Josh to re-enter the spotlight. What they fail to consider is that Josh avoided jail time for a number of vile sex crimes and most decent people realize it will never be okay for him to re-enter public life. Of course, most of the world just found out about Josh’s crimes in 2015. The Duggars have been sweeping his past under the carpet for so long it’s probably second nature to them at this point.

Andrew Gillum Concedes Gubernatorial Race In Florida To Republican Ron DeSantis

Image via Chris O’Meara-Pool/Getty Images Andrew Gillum Concedes Florida Governor Race To Ron DeSantis Despite a swell of support and an influx of 11th-hour celebrity endorsements , Andrew Gillum has conceded the Florida gubernatorial race to Republican opponent Ron DeSantis. Despite numbers that were deemed “too close to call” at the hour by NBC — Gillum secured 48.9& of the vote while Desantis held 49.9% — the democratic candidate announced his concession in a speech given from his Tallahassee campaign headquarters around 10:45 PM. As he stated in his speech (via NBC News ): “Even though I won’t be the next governor of Florida, I still plan to be on the front lines. We still have to be willing to show up every single day and demand our seat at the table. I still believe and I still trust in the voters. I still believe that there is more of us that believe in what is common and what is decent.” A BIG loss for the democratic party and the anticipated “Blue Wave” this election was set to bring. We’ll continue watching the poll results this evening to give you further updates on integral races. Wilfredo Lee-Pool/Getty Images/Chris O’Meara-Pool/Getty Images
