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.
OK, so it’s been nearly four months now since we first learned that Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with her first child. Or one month, if you just want to go from her confirmation of the big news . Either way, that’s a pretty decent about of time for Lamar Odom to hear about the news and to come to terms with it. Or at least to come to terms with it enough to be able to give a statement on the subject without coming across as a little bit shady, right? Wrong! Lamar makes an appearance in an upcoming episode of Mancave, a talk shot on BET, and he was asked about Khloe’s pregnancy. “I’m happy for her,” he said. “She took care of me. She’ll be a good mother, for real. She’s a great woman.” And that part is sweet, right? It’s also very, very true. We all remember how, back in 2015, Lamar suffered an overdose that very nearly killed him, and how Khloe stayed by his side, even though they were going through a divorce. She even called off the divorce so that she’d be able to help make medical decisions for him when he was unable to do so himself. We heard about how she rarely left his side while he was in the hospital — if she ever did at all — and how she was so intent to stay with him that she didn’t even shower when things were touch and go there for a while. She said then that she stayed with him because while their marriage obviously didn’t work out, she still had love for him, and she couldn’t just abandon him in such a time. So she did take care of him, in a very real way. But this next thing that Lamar said in the interview? Well, it wasn’t quite so sweet … “I still got my shawty’s name still on me, her initials still on me,” he said, referring to the matching tattoos he and Khloe got on their hands when they were married. “But for no reason,” he clarified. He said that “I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that.” Damn, Lamar, don’t hold back! We get that he’s probably just joking around, or trying to make light of a difficult situation , and of course the Kardashians have always appreciated professional athletes for boyfriends. But this just seems a little too catty, you know? It’s not like Khloe ran through NBA players after filing for divorce — which she did, by the way, at least in part because Lamar publicly cheated on her. The only serious relationships she had between Lamar and Tristan Thompson were with French Montana, a rapper, and James Harden. She was rumored to be dating Rick Fox for a little while in there, too, so Tristan would make her third NBA player after Lamar. But regardless of the types of men she decides to date, it’s obvious that she’s very happy right now, way happier than she was during much of her marriage to Lamar here. And really, that’s what counts. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Pregnant: What Do We Know? What Do We Need to Know?
SportsIllustratedSwimsuit/Taylor Ballantyne Ebonee Davis, Olivia Culpo And Hunter McGrady Named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookies It’s that time of year again! Sports Illustrated is preparing to unleash their 54th annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, and we’re even more excited now that we just got the news via Swim Daily that Ebonee Davis has been named one of the final three models included in the 2018 SI Swimsuit Rookie class, alongside Olivia Culpo and Hunter McGrady . The other rookie models included this year are Alexis Ren, Sailor Brinkley Cook, Jasmyn Wilkins, Anne de Paula, Chase Carter, Georgia Gibbs, Kate Wasley, Raven Lyn and Robin Holzken. Ebonee actually took part in the annual model search competition previously, shooting for the magazine in 2016. After the competition wrapped, she explained, “after years of conforming to industry standards, I made the career-altering decision to go natural and became vocal about the racial bias I experienced during my time in the industry.” Then, she got the call from SI to shoot for this year’s issue and she said, “I am not only coming back as a rookie, I am coming back as Ebonee. The real me. Unapologetic and 100% true to myself.” We’re looking forward to the swimsuit pics, but in the meantime hit the flip to check out these lovely shots Ebonee posted from a shoot with V Magazine.

Source: Robby Klein / Getty Mara Brock Akil made her triumphant return to the CW with Black Lightning on Tuesday night, and it was a ratings smash. According to Variety , Black Lightning came in with 0.8 ratings in the 18-49 demographic. It pulled in about 2.3 million viewers, and stats like that makes it the biggest premiere on The CW in two years! The numbers are only expected to get better with DVR and On Demand views. Series star, Cress Williams (aka, Scooter from Living Single ) thanked watchers for the outpouring of support on Instagram. The show also dominated on Twitter. The love for Black Lightning also made its way to Rotten Tomatoes , where the show has a 100% rating! Black Lightning is currently the #1 trending topic!! Everyone on the east coast loved the premiere! West Coast we gotta keep the momentum up when it premieres at 9! #BlackLightning #GetLit pic.twitter.com/ccfgqNU6CO — Geeks of Color (@GeeksOfColor) January 17, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js And while stars from the CW’s other DC shows promoted Black Lightning on Twitter, Black Lighting is not part of the Arrowverse along with the CW’s other superhero shoes even though its a CW property. As such, it’s not likely that there will ever be any crossovers with The Flash . After some thought, fans were fine with that move, though. In fact, its unlikely any of them will notice because they were too busy gushing about the show. At first, I was mad #BlackLightning didn’t exist within the #Arrowverse , but now I see why. It’s on another level. Grounded in a reality that those characters could never understand. I could never imagine Jefferson w/ all his years+wisdom needing help from…Barry Allen. #GetLit pic.twitter.com/JGL9XgUhs3 — Erica (@Forever_Erica) January 17, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js WE GOT US A POWERFUL BLACK FAMILY #BlackLightning pic.twitter.com/CK3cVd6U7z — justin (@JUSTlNW) January 17, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js She broke the sink with her hands! #BlackLightning pic.twitter.com/2dVSQ5vz2C — CHANTELLE JENKINS (@TelleyMJay) January 17, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js As much action as there was to enjoy on the show, viewers also loved the human drama that rounded out the premiere as it touched on topics like police brutality and family bonds. Truth is #BlackLightning opened my eyes to something. As a white person, I will NEVER know what the African American friends/mutuals I have go through. The best I can do is educate myself, be there for them as best I can, stand up with them….for them…love them. — KryptonianCanary (@KalEl84) January 18, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js In conclusion, you should expect to see #BlackLightning trending on Twitter next week.
