What happens when three women decide to unexpectedly pop up on their sons after feeling neglected on Mother’s Day? A charming comedy that reminds us all to find our true selves and live our best lives. Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman star in the upcoming Netflix movie that shows the other side of motherhood… Otherhood. After journeying to NYC to surprise and reconnect with their sons, empty nesters Carol (Angela Bassett), Gillian (Patricia Arquette) and Helen (Felicity Huffman) realize they’re more consumed with their adult son’s lives than they are their own. They go to the club, enjoy pizza (which turns into an erotic moment) and do the things they’ve always wanted to do. Otherhood hits theaters August 2nd.

Seeking a way out of the relationship, she strikes up a connection with fellow church member, Dre (Truvillion). Monica ultimately ends her relationship with Jackson and gets engaged to Dre, but Jackson is determined to win her back by any means necessary. Source: TV One / Courtesy of TV One “I felt compelled to participate in the LOVED TO DEATH project because I know that so many individuals are in toxic/abusive relationships and many aren’t even aware,” said film star Williams. “Abuse shows up in a myriad of ways. Yes, there is the physical aspect that we all understand but many don’t understand that physical abuse is usually the escalated result of other types – mental, emotional and even financial. This movie offers some insight into the nuances of those abusive behaviors and how to recognize when and how things could turn tragic.” LOVED TO DEATH is directed by Lee Davis and written by Chad Quinn. Produced for TV One by Asylum Productions, David Rimawi served as executive producer with David Michael as producer. Scotty Mullen served as casting director.

On the latest episode of “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” Waka Flocka chats with his mom Ms. Deb about her godson Brandon Barnes. Deb tells Waka she’s unsure if Brandon is telling the truth about training to become a firefighter and Waka’s ADAMANT that he’s a liar. According to Waka Brandon’s a “con artist”, manipulator” and “psychopath” who needs to get checked for previously “playing” his mother. “No way in hell I’m about to let him do it twice. I’m ‘bout to check him.” Brandon has since taken to Twitter to defend himself. In an open letter Brandon says he’s still TRAINING for the firefighter gig and he realizes that he’s being “misunderstood.” “One of the main things that I personally love about this new career choice that I am IN THE PROCESS of achieving is, when you make up your to be a EMT-Firefighter you’ve truly learned how to be selfless. “The things that I see and hear on this TV show are not all accurate and that’s okay. I lam still able to say i love everyone and truly mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Source: WENN.com / WENN Soulja Boy Is Making Lifestyle Changes Following His Stint In Jail Following his early release from county jail, Soulja Boy is reportedly making some huge changes to his lifestyle, which includes shrinking his social circle and not posting as much on social media. According to reports from TMZ , sources close to Soulja have explained that his three months in L.A. County Jail served as an eye-opener for the rapper, and now that he’s back home, he’s cutting a lot of unhealthy things out of his life–which includes both cutting people off and cutting down on his time on Twitter and Instagram. One of the biggest changes yet is that Soulja Boy reportedly kicked a bunch of people out of his San Fernando Valley house, the same one that was burglarized while he was locked up. Back in April, thieves hit Soulja’s home and made off with $500,000 in cash, jewelry and his iPhone — which they allegedly used to go live on the rapper’s Instagram account. But, when Young Draco caught wind of the burglary in jail, he was convinced the whole thing was an inside job . In the current day, Soulja was just released from jail last Sunday, getting out 146 days early due to a combo of good behavior, time served, and overcrowding. In April, Soulja was sentenced to 240 days and 265 days of community service for violating his probation.
Source: Steve Granitz / Getty Avengers: Endgame Is The Highest Grossing Movie Ever After 9 years of holding the title as the world’s highest grossing film ever, James Cameron’s Avatar has been dethroned by Avengers: Endgame . As of Saturday, July 20, the fourth installment in the Avengers franchise had raked in $2.7892 billion at the global box office, which is just about $500,000 shy of Avatar ‘s $2.7897 billion record. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced the big news during San Diego Comic-Con yesterday, confirming that Endgame would close the $500K gap by Sunday. “Thanks to you, Avengers: Endgame is the biggest film of all-time,” he announced during Marvel’s highly-anticipated Hall H panel. Since the film’s initial release back in April, Endgame has broken multiple records, including the fastest film to hit $100 million at the box office, the highest-grossing opening day in history, and the first film to earn $1 billion in an opening weekend. But in order to assure their status as the number one film of all time, the Avengers movie received a boost when it was re-released in theaters with a little extra footage back in June–which is what eventually set Endgame over the top. The directors of the film, Joe and Anthony Russo, issued a thank you to fans on Twitter after the news broke yesterday. To the greatest fans in the universe, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you… https://t.co/MRKEKaKvVW — Russo Brothers (@Russo_Brothers) July 21, 2019 Endgame will probably hold this title pretty securely until 2021, when James Cameron is set to release his follow-up to Avatar . Until then: congrats to the whole cast and crew on the major win!

The lace fronted bandit has been linked to similar robbery attempts at other Waffle Houses, a CVS, a Walgreens, a Dollar General and a PNC bank, authorities said. Authorities are asking anyone who recognizes the man to contact DeKalb police at 770-724-7800.
