13 Partners in TV Crime: Choose Your Favorite!

TV is filled with characters who like to get into a little mischief now and again.  These 13 duos come together whether they're on the right side of the law … or not.  Not all of them are in a relationship, but when they work together, they get $hit done.  Have a look below.  1. Sherlock & Joan – Elementary Sherlock and Joan solve crimes on the CBS procedural drama, and they do it very well. They’re probably one of the best partners in crime on the small screen. 2. Lucious and Cookie – Empire These two hate each other most of the time, but the moment their family or company is in peril, they will get themselves into lots of trouble just to keep everyone close to them safe. 3. Veronica and Keith – Veronica Mars This father and daughter duo solve crimes in the terrible town of Neptune, and they’re very good at it. They always get into scary situations, but somehow come out the other side in one piece. 4. Murphy and Emori – The 100 Murphy and Emori could be fighting one minute and then helping each other the next. It’s tiring, but it shows that they can have fun … even at the end of the world. 5. Raj and Howard – The Big Bang Theory These friends get into some of the craziest situations, but their friendship is always stronger when they save themselves. 6. Jessica and Trish – Jessica Jones They were best friends, they argued a lot of the time, but one thing is for certain: They were perfect when it came to solving mysteries. View Slideshow

Mo’Nique Says Until Oprah Publicly Apologizes, She Will Have A Problem With Her “‘Til The Day That I Leave This Earth”

Go here to see the original:

Source: NewsOne Now Screenshots / NewsOne Now If you think that  Mo’Nique  holds a grudge of sorts with   Oprah Winfrey   because of what went down with  Precious , you’re mistaken. What actually is behind their rift, according to the 51-year-old Oscar winner, is a particular episode of  The Oprah Winfrey Show  that she felt exploited her family’s issues and for which, she never felt she received a true apology for. “Oprah Winfrey called us up and she said my brother wanted to come on the show and talk about him molesting me, and he wanted to tell other parents how to look out for molesters,” she said in an interview with Comedy Hype. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). Mo’Nique called her brother a “charmer,” and she told the talk show host, “I don’t want nothing to do with that cat. The ni–a I know is up to a scam.” Mo’Nique didn’t block her brother’s opportunity, but didn’t want to be involved with it. After speaking with Oprah about the possible episode, she said she respected the fact that the host called her first — until she found out it was going to be more than just her brother on the show. “Now I begin to see commercials with my mother, with my brother, my father and my other brother. Now the reason why that means so much is because in the conversation we had about my brother, we then went deeper and we began to talk about our relationships with our mothers and our fathers, and I shared my relationship with her about my mother. I shared with her that me and my mother were not talking. I shared with her that we were in a really bad place. I shared with her that I was hurt and trying to figure this thing out. She never said my mother was coming on the show, because had she, Oprah Winfrey, said ‘I’m going to have your mother,’ I would have said, ‘Shut it down,’” she said. “‘I don’t need the world seeing how greedy my mother is. Shut that down.’ That’s one of the reasons why we don’t communicate, because of my mother and father’s greed. If you had given me the opportunity I would have said, I can’t put my mother — that’s still my mother.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Email Submit She was upset to find that her entire family’s presence on the episode hadn’t been discussed with her. Mo’Nique said her mother appeared greedy, her father was visibly drunk (she said she could tell) and she said her brother was scamming viewers. Oprah called her after the show and the actress said she was so still stuck on the fact that she was dealing with the Oprah Winfrey that she didn’t share her true anger over the situation. Her husband, Sidney Hicks, encouraged her to take off the kiddie gloves and speak truthfully about her disappointment. Unfortunately, it would be years before she was able to. She finally confronted Oprah at Alfre Woodard’s annual Oscars Sistahs Soiree in 2015. Mo’Nique said she tried to reach out prior to the event but couldn’t get her back on the phone, and interesting enough, Woodard encouraged her to say “whatever is on your heart” when all the women came together to speak. She asked Oprah an important question in front of everyone. SEE ALSO:  Mo’Nique Explains Why She Continues To Support Roseanne Barr, Despite The Backlash [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] “I looked to Oprah Winfrey and I said, ‘You know you and I need to have this conversation. Why would you have my mother on your show?’” she asked. “So for all the women that was there that night, they know exactly what was said and I said to her, ‘How could you have my mother on your show? That’s not what we discussed.’” After Oprah had her mother on the show, people came up to Mo’Nique and said pretty negative things about her mom, but she still defended her “because that’s my mother.” “You don’t understand what position you put me in by doing that, so now this is my moment to talk to you. And what she did was take the cowardly way out,” she said. “She said, ‘If you think I did something wrong, I want to apologize.’ And what my husband taught me a long time ago is an apology is not something you think you think you need to give if somebody else thinks you need to give it, it’s what you feel.’” That of course wasn’t good enough for Mo’Nique, as she believed Oprah had “full intentions” of having her family on her show without telling her so she could exploit her their rocky relationship. “When I say to my community, I know Oprah Winfrey when the curtains are closed, I know her when the cameras aren’t running, that’s why Oprah Winfrey doesn’t want to sit down with me nor my husband, to have a conversation, because within minutes, the community would know who Oprah Winfrey really was because she’s not used to anybody asking her any questions.” Mo’Nique was asked if she could say anything to Oprah today what it would be, and she did have something in mind. “I would say, Oprah Winfrey, you know what you need to do. And stop hiding behind what you call ‘negative comments,’ what you call, ‘I don’t even deal with things like that,’ because what people are beginning to do is see you for what you are.” “Until that woman says ‘Let me apologize to you publicly,’ it will be ’til the day that I leave this earth, because what you did was malicious, and it was intentional, and it was ugly,” she said.

British Actress Cynthia Erivo Faces Backlash For Role As Harriet Tubman Since She Is Not An American Descendant Of Slavery

Visit link:

Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Fans raved about  Cynthia Erivo’s  portrayal of Harriet Tubman when the trailer for the upcoming film hit the web a few days ago, but some critics are bashing the casting decision, since Erivo is of British descent. Tubman was born into slavery in America and an abolitionist, so detractors feel her deeply entrenched African-American heritage should be helmed by an African American woman. One Twitter user wrote, “ #CynthiaErivo  should have never been given the role of  #HarrietTubman .She disrespected  #ADOS  Lineage/Culture/History- #AmericanHistory .Disgusting,someone who hates us get play us” #CynthiaErivo should have never been given the role of #HarrietTubman .She disrespected #ADOS Lineage/Culture/History- #AmericanHistory .Disgusting,someone who hates us get play us. #Harriet #LineageMatters – #HarrietDeservesBetter #BoycottHarriet https://t.co/7OmLc98sYN #HarrietFilm — Glen Lucien (@glenthecreator) July 23, 2019 Yea not going to see this she’s not African American she doesn’t understand black & she makes fun American Black women…. my is black & American this movie means something to us … she’s trash #BoycottHarriet pic.twitter.com/BZUH7fAIzc — Trig Lyon (@Treslyon) July 24, 2019 One social media user went as far as screenshotting some of Cynthia’s tweets from 2013, where she referred to African-American vernacular as a “ghetto American accent.” While the backlash has resurfaced after the release of the trailer, Erivo expressed in 2017 that she anticipated the rage when it was announced that she had snagged the role. She wrote on Instagram at the time: “I struggled a little with whether or not to post anything about this role, because even though there is so much celebration and encouragement coming through, there’s also anger and offense spurred on by my being from the UK…..I guess there is a bigger conversation to be had about heritage and experience, also about who Harriet really was. That can not be had in an Instagram post, what I will say is that my journey to this woman has been long and detailed and one I have not taken lightly. ” Continuing, “Nothing has been given to me without me first putting the work in, people speak of foreign privilege and truthfully life would be unbelievably easy if that were applied to me but that is not my portion. I fought for the role of Celie, and spilled blood sweat and tears playing her, the same applies for every role I’ve earned, this will be no different.” Even though #BoycottHarriett is spreading, the real feedback will come when the box office numbers roll in when the film hits theaters.

Do Better, Hollywood: Dark Skin Actresses Aren’t Just Slaves & Maids 

Read more:

Source: Monica Schipper / Getty The conversation on colorism has so many different layers that it becomes exhausting to try and breakdown for the willfully ignorant. Colorism is a direct result of slavery and its effects trickle down in pretty much every area of human life, from the workplace to entertainment industry — especially when it comes to women. Statistics even show that darker skin women receive harsher prison sentences than their lighter-skinned counterparts.   The worst part about the systemic disease is that poisons, obliterates and deteriorates the self-esteem of young, Black girls, who are ultimately the future of the human race. Media shows us that if you’re a dark skin girl, there’s no way you can play the soft, pretty love interest. To them, and most of America, the only roles fit for highly pigmented Black women are that of slaves and maids. “With my flat nose and dark skin, the only parts that came my way were slaves, maids, and a part simply titled 'African Girl.' (Seriously.)” — Miriam Bale (@mimbale) February 27, 2015 When they need a Black girl to play in a predominantly White film, Hollywood execs go straight to the Zendayas and Amandla Stenberg s. Hell, they even let our dark queen Nina Simone be played by fair skin, dominican actress Zoe Saldana . What’s interesting though is that then it comes to making films about slavery, casting directors have no problem finding and hiring dark skin actresses. So crazy how true that is. They always can find trillions of dark skin actors when it’s a slave movie. All the rest of the movies get one to two dark ppl at a time — Barefruitsoul ⚢ (@SweetZenis) July 25, 2019 Don’t get me wrong, we love all the Zendaya’s and Alexandra Shipps, and all shades of Black are beautiful — but it’s time we show young, darker skin Black girls that they’re story is much deeper and richer than slavery. Show them that they’re deserving of the love, attention and praise that their lighter skin counterparts receive in every facet of human life. Be honest, besides Lupita, how many dark skin actresses can you name from the younger generation? And even Lupita wouldn’t be considered young Hollywood. I’m talking Marsai Martin’s class. All of these would be a better actress for Princess Tiana than Zendaya, I love her but we definitely need more dark skin /brown skin representation pic.twitter.com/yZm6fxwYvT — Queen of Blunts (@Erionanunez143) July 21, 2019 And for those who think dark skin Black women are just nagging and complaining, take a moment to look back at how we’re represented in movies that are seen across the globe. It’s not that we’re bitter or angry. Quite the contrary actually. We’re proud of our sisters like Cynthia Erivo who scored the role of Harriet Tubman , one of the most powerful women in the history of women. But we are revolting against the harsh reality that Hollywood is still uncomfortable showcasing dark skin women on the big screen, unless they’re running from Massa or cleaning up behind his family. Ladies and gents, we must do better. For our little Black girls. Hit me up on Twitter @Misskiyonna to share your thoughts.

Baby Pilar Jhena’s mom previously said that she was “taking her time” snapping back after giving birth in April. “I’ve done the opposite of what people do when they get shamed online. They hide because you shame them,” Williams said. “I actually post pictures with fitting clothes, still showing my postpartum body. I’m proud of it. I’m going to bounce back naturally, and I’m not going to stress myself.” Now she’s showing fans the results of her snapback while admitting that she still has a postpartum FUPA. “However lately I’ve decided to start eating healthy and drinking a gang of water and I actually can see some early changes in my body. I really don’t believe in the snap back thing for me too much or put pressure on myself… I’m just celebrating me starting to FEEL like myself again after childbirth. I still don’t think I’m ready to start working out so I’ll probably wait another month to get in gym so for now it’s just portion control and good food choices. […] P.s: Yes I still have a FUPA and I love it!!” https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WKAwNn5cQ/ In addition to flaunting her FUPA Porsha also graciously gave someone else some shine on her own page.
