Jesse Williams Is Now A Director And His New Film Is Seriously Relevant For 2018

Read the original post:

J esse Williams is a noted actor and activist, but he can now add director to his many titles. The 37-year-old is directing a new film that will tackle one of America’s ugliest moments in history. See Also: Ben Carson Tells A Black Woman To Escape Poverty She Needs To Get Married According to Deadline.com , Williams is set to direct a movie on the aftermath of the lynching of 14-year-old  Emmett Louis Till in 1955 Mississippi. The film focuses on the journey of Till’s mother,  Mamie Mobley Till , who became a civil rights icon after her son’s murder. Titled “Till,” the screenplay will be adapted from the 2005 documentary “The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till” and written by  Michael Reilly and civil rights filmmaker  Keith A. Beauchamp . The Till family supports the film and production will begin in summer 2019. Williams told Deadline.com, “I’m honored to be directing the story of Mamie & Emmett, a tale of revolutionary defiance in the face of tremendous personal and public devastation. An exploration of power and pulling back the curtain on cultural violence; of boyhood and maternity challenging America’s reflex to hide from itself; underdogs refusing to pretend that terror is freedom.” Emmett Till was accused of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi in 1955. He was murdered, his body and face mutilated, and it became an international story. The white woman who said Till whistled at her, Carolyn Bryant, would later admit she fabricated the entire story. The white men who murdered Till were never indicted. Mamie Till passed away in 2003. Considering the stories of so many unarmed Black boys and men who are wrongfully killed, from Trayvon Martin to Botham Jean , this film is seriously relevant and necessary. SEE ALSO: Outrageous!

You Thought?: Kanye Sadly Mistaken, Beyoncé Was Not Wearing His Yeezy Shoes

Source: New York Daily News Archive / Getty Guess the Carters and Kanye West are not “famleeeeee” after all, well at least not for now.  Kanye West is currently in rebrand mode cause he really wants us to listen to his forthcoming new album. He has been very active on social media lately especially on his Instagram account. Jay-Z and Kanye’s friendship has been on the rocks since West expressed his sadness about Hov and Bey skipping his wedding. Kanye gave fans a glimmer of hope for a Throne revival when he shared a picture of Jay-Z and Beyoncé on his Instagram account with the caption “famleeeeee” cause he thought the singer was wearing a pair of his $650 shoes from his YEEZY season 5 collection. Welp, they were not, Beyoncé was instead rocking a pair of stylish $50 shoes from Public Desire. Ye should have known Beyoncé has better taste than that. We don’t know if Kanye has been informed of the mistake yet because the picture is still up on his timeline. We honestly hope Kanye and Jay-Z have worked on their issues because frankly, he could use his big brother back in his corner. Yeezy may think he is out of the sunken place , looks like he is still trapped in there and is trying his best to claw his way out. — Photo: New York Daily News Archive / Getty

Booty Shake Club Loses Liquor License After Agents Exchanged Lap Dances & Drug For Food Stamps

Source: stone18 / Getty An adult entertainment club in Ohio lost its liquor license for reasons some may need time to process. Agents investigating Shakey’s in Harrison Township, Ohio were able to pose undercover as patrons and exchanged lap dances and drugs for food stamp benefits. Dayton Daily News reports : Agent-in-Charge Michelle Thourot said agents began investigating the Twenty Two Fifty Inc., also known as Sharkey’s, 6028 N. Dixie Drive, in May 2017. During the investigation at Sharkey’s, agents were able to purchase drugs and lap dances using food stamp benefits. Throughout the five-month investigation, agents reportedly exchanged $2,404.87 in food stamps to purchase heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, cocaine, methamphetamines and lap dances. Criminal charges were filed against employees and patrons for drug trafficking, food stamp trafficking, aggravated shipment and distribution of heroin, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, and illegal sexual activity. The outlet adds that this is the second such establishment in the Dayton area to lose its license for the same reason. How did anyone assume THAT news wasn’t going to get out? — Photo: Getty

Tell ‘Em How You REALLY Feel? Daz Dillinger Celebrates Suge Knight’s 28 Year Prison Sentence, “Death Row Over HAHA!”

Image via Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images/Scott Dudelson/Getty Images Daz Dillinger Celebrates Suge Knight’s 28-Year Prison Sentence Yesterday, news broke that Suge Knight plead guilty to the manslaughter of Terry Carter following the now-infamous argument on the set of Straight Outta Compton . Suge wasn’t exactly Mr. Congeniality within the music industry and he accumulated more enemies than friends during his tenure as the CEO and founder of Death Row Records. One such enemy is Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz Dillinger. Daz couldn’t possibly have been more jovial at the news that his former boss will sit behind bars for what is presumably the rest of his natural life. The rapper/producer took to Instagram to blow some celebratory kush in the air and sprinkled a pinch of salt Suge’s wound and even mocked his family. Sounds like Daz hasn’t been as forgiving of Suge like Snoop Dogg has. The beef never dies.

‘Stranger Things’ Star Millie Bobbi Brown Defends Lovely Friendship With Drake

Stranger things are going on in the world to be worried about, according to Millie Bobbi Brown her friendship with Drake isn’t one of them. The 14-year-old actress raised Twitter’s eyebrows triggering the predator alarm when she mentioned during an interview that the Canadian rapper sends her  “I miss you so much” texts and gives her advice on boys. Well, Eleven has heard enough and has responded to the criticism via her Instagram account. Brown states: “Why u gotta make a lovely friendship ur headline? U guys are weird…For real. I’m lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance. “I’m very blessed to have amazing people in my life. U don’t get to chose that for me. It’s nice to have people understand what I do. Now get back to talking about real problems in the world other than my friendships…jeez.” Well, there you have it. Now again there is no big deal with being friends with each other, but the optics of a 31-year-old rapper sending text messages saying ‘I miss you more” and giving “advice on boys”  to a 14-year-old girl looks very suspicious. The reaction that news drew should come as no surprise, the world is currently in the “upside down,” so can’t blame people for being worried. Now that Brown has spoken and cleared the air, Drizzy has other things to worry about at the moment like Southside Ye , his lawsuit and finishing up the rest of his tour. — Photo: Kevin Mazur / Getty
