On this week’s upcoming episode of “Braxton Family Values,” the group therapy session with Iyanla Vanzant continues. This time, Toni is ready to confess…that she DFW nobody in her bloodline all that hard. “I am confessing that, although I love my family, most of the time I don’t like my family. Everyone in my family. Everybody. I feel like I’m angry at everybody in my family. I don’t like my family. If they weren’t my family, they wouldn’t be my friends.” You’ll have to tune into WEtv on Thursday to see how the rest of that conversation panned out. Sheesh. Honestly…it seems that a lot of viewers have sensed that for quite some time now. Are you surprised by Toni’s revelation? D Dipasupil/FilmMagic/Instagram
Warwick Saint ESSENCE Magazine Puts ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ Stars And Director On Feburary Cover Well would you look at all this Black Girl Magic?! With an imaginary universe at her fingertips—and media mogul Oprah Winfrey and dynamic newcomer Storm Reid by her side—award-winning director Ava DuVernay brings the Disney feature A Wrinkle in Time to life next month. The highly anticipated vehicle marks the first time a woman of color has been entrusted to direct a movie that cost upward of $100 million (not to mention with a 13-year-old Black girl in the middle of it all!) In ESSENCE’s February issue cover story, A Different World, the three open up about their next escapades and the power of imagination. Check out all the great quotes below, via ESSENCE: “I just watched ‘The Wizard of Oz’ again last year with one of my godchildren who was seeing it for the first time, and the magic of that is exactly what ‘Wrinkle’ is going to be for another generation…” Oprah Winfrey told ESSENCE Magazine , of the impact of “A Wrinkle in Time” in the maagazine’s February 2018 cover story. ON WATCHING STORM ON SET: “Sometimes I’d be watching her on set and would really tear up at her performance because she will become for this generation what Judy Garland’s Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz was for previous generations. She gets to be that. This little Stormy, our little Stormy, gets to carry that on for generations to come. She gets to be that light for girls like herself…” ON BEING APPROACHED TO DIRECT THE FILM: “I read it, and of course, as any reader, you put yourself in the book. You see people that you know inhabiting the world. So when I went in to talk to [Walt Disney Studios EVP of Production Tendo Nagenda] about it, I said, ‘This is how I see it. I see this as being multicultural, even down to the main character. I’m like, ‘She’s gotta be brown…’” ON HER FIRST LEADING ROLE: “This is a huge milestone in my career, to be in a movie with Ava DuVernay directing and Miss Oprah being in it. When I think about it, I don’t really know how to feel. There are so many emotions. But it’s just a great blessing that will forever change my life…” ESSENCE’s February issue hits newsstands this Friday. For more on this month’s issue, visit ESSENCE.com.
NEW YORK – MAY 15: Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian seen out in Soho for pizza, as the ‘Foodgod’ takes the Kardashian’s ladies to different pizza shops on May 15, 2017 in New York, New York. (Photo by Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images) Kim Kardashian Claps Back At Lamar Odom Looks like the Kardashian fam is about fed up with folks excommunicated from the Klan talking slick about them to the public. As you probably heard, Lamar Odom weighed in on his ex-wife Khloe’s new life with a new baller and new baby on the way. When asked when he knew for sure that their much-drawn-out trainwreck of a marriage was over and done, Lamar said “I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that.” Sheesh. Honestly, no lies detected. But still harsh to hear aloud. So it’s no wonder big sis Kimmy stepped in to remind Lamar why he didn’t really need to be concerning himself with what team’s starting lineup Khloe was using as a dating service and worry about himself. Or second or third brothel https://t.co/iYYJ1NehOe — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) January 18, 2018 Way to throw that addiction issue and near-death experience in his face, there Kim.
