Taye Diggs, whose run of romantic films includes classics like “The Best Man,” “Brown Sugar” and “The Wood,” is returning to the genre with the indie feature “Another Man’s Wife.”

Diggs stars opposite Sydney Mitchell and Moritz J. Williams. Diggs plays Brendan, a millionaire who makes a shocking offer to a married couple in crisis, Maya (Mitchell) and Shawn (Williams), who are financially devastated and caring for a terminally ill parent. As the film’s logline explains, “What begins as an act of survival spirals into a high-stakes emotional reckoning about trust, love and the ultimate cost of sacrifice.”

“Another Man’s Wife” is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Viere NiBlack-Gray from a screenplay by Briana Cole. The project, which recently wrapped filming in Atlanta, is executive produced by Doug Schwab of Maverick Entertainment and J. Carter of Freeli Films.

Diggs, whose stage and screen credits also include “All-American,” “Private Practice,...

“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is now in theaters and, like the movie itself, the cast of this one is pretty huge.

In the latest — possibly final — installment of the franchise, Ethan Hunt and his team work to finally stop The Entity, a deadly A.I. program that’s hellbent on wiping out humanity. It’s quickly spread since the events of “Dead Reckoning,” and there’s only one chance to fully stop it.

And it’s going to require a lot of help. So, here’s who you need to know.

"She put me on the map."

So says Taye Diggs of Terry McMillan, the writer-producer who catapulted him to stardom in 1998 with How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Reflecting on that period of his life, the 54-year-old actor remembers fully expecting to become a star. "I don't know who I thought I was," he recalls with a laugh (watch our full video interview above). "I remember graduating from college and saying, 'I'm going straight to the top.' When I got Rent (on Broadway) I was like, 'Ok, when is the next movie coming?' I don't know where I got that confidence from because I don't have it anymore."

Looking to get his own groove back, Diggs reunited with his old friend in Lifetime's Terry McMillan Presents: Forever. Diggs served as an executive producer with McMillan and star, playing Johnnie, a military veteran who falls head over heels for...

Image Source: Amazon When the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back was released in 1998, its star was clearly Angela Bassett, who’d been on a hot streak with movies like Waiting to Exhale, What’s Love Got to Do With It, Contact, and Malcolm X. But now, 27 years later, Stella is remembered less for Bassett’s role than for the first on-screen appearance for a young actor who not only stole the show, but wound up becoming both a Hollywood and a Broadway star in his own right: Taye Diggs. At the time of Stella’s release, Bassett talked about what it was like to work with her young, but then-unknown co-star.

How Stella Got Her Groove Back is currently streaming on Hulu...

Angela Bassett has had a stellar career. Having made her debut in the 80s, the Waiting to Exhale star has not turned back ever since. It has all been about going from one strength to another for her.

It doesn’t come as a shock that she was regarded as one of the most renowned celebrities recently in 2023, having received an Honorary Oscar for her contribution to the industry. But she had a minor (read major) qualm. The ceremony was indeed a bittersweet one for her – she failed to walk away with the Oscar she intended to win that day.

Romance movies say a lot about the contemporary cultural mindsets of the time they were made, and the 1990s are no exception. Filmmaking and moviegoing were changing during this pivotal decade, and many topics that were considered taboo were brought to the forefront of cinema because society was becoming ready for more subversive and experimental movies. Whether this was expressed through style or subject matter, the way these films approached storytelling holds up well when compared to modern works. Many of the filmmakers behind these projects have gone on to help transform cinema.

The 1990s are often considered a large part of the Golden Age of rom-coms, but many of the most revolutionary pieces of cinema from the decade brilliantly blend genres. Though there are many great rom-coms from the '90s that are better remembered, they're of their time and adhere to the formulas and archetypes that were popular at the time.

Taye Diggs got his start in the professional performing arts world on stage, not on screen. He had a successful Broadway career with roles in Carousel and Rent before he appeared in his first TV roles in 1996. He has become such a prolific film and TV actor since then that many might forget that hes a song and dance man first.

Diggs first big screen break was with the romance How Stella Got Her Groove Back in 1998. Hes been nonstop as an actor and writer ever since. In fact, in addition to all his work on screen, Diggs has also written four childrens books and founded a dance company. With all of his creative talent, its no wonder that he has worked on so many great movies and TV shows.

Taye Diggs continues his hot streak of romantic roles in Terry McMillan Presents: Forever. The actor stars as Johnnie, who returns home after military service and gets served divorce papers. As he begins to turn the page on a new chapter of his life, he falls for a local policeman named Carlie (Meagan Good). The role is a full-circle moment for Diggs on multiple levels. Terry McMillan gave Diggs his big break in 1998’s How Stella Got Her Groove Back. “Also, I couldn’t wait to work with Meagan Good again,” he told TV Insider in the video above. “We first met on a television program—people don’t know this—that I did for Upn years ago called Kevin Hill where I played a lawyer who adopts this young baby.

Garcelle Beauvais said her May-December romance film “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love” won’t avoid any of the realities that come with women and aging, noting that menopause and body aches are part of the natural process of getting older.

“When [Terry McMillan and I] were collaborating on ‘Tempted by Love,’ I really wanted it to come from a real place,” Beauvais told TheWrap. “At first we’re like, ‘Is it too much to do the arthritis? Is it too much to do the menopause?’ But we’re like, ‘But that’s what real women go through.’ So why would we shy away from that?”

The film, which stars and is executive produced by Beauvais, follows the journey of world-renowned chef Ava, who has been living in Europe but rushes home to care for her elderly aunt in South Carolina after she suffers from a fall. She’s then...

Over the years, Whoopi Goldberg has played a lot of interesting characters, from an amateur singer posing as a nun – re “Sister Act” – to an ex-convict who can talk to ghosts. But she hasn’t quite landed her dream role yet, and believe me, it’s a shocking one.

Whoopi Goldberg Wants “To Be the Horror” In Dream Role

One reason we love Goldberg is that she tells it like it is. If she wants to be the monster, she will not be shutting up about it.

Goldberg’s latest revelation comes after some absence from ‘The View‘ as she recovered from a bout of covid.

As she interviewed stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones on this Thursday episode of the show, the 68-year-old giddily shared that she would find her perfect dream role in no other genre but horror.

“Playing a villain is wonderful. You’re the last person people are thinking.

Angela Bassett’s career took off in the 1990s with films including What’s Love Got to Do with It – which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination — Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

But her success in just the past half-dozen years has managed to surpass the Yale Drama School graduate’s initial rise to fame.

In the latest example of a surge that began with 2018’s Black Panther, Bassett’s powerful, mellifluous voice provides the narration for a groundbreaking Emmy-contending National Geographic wildlife documentary series, Queens, which chronicles the natural world and its distaff leaders through a uniquely female lens.

From Scarlett Johansson to Viola Davis, many famous actors rose to fame on Broadway before conquering Hollywood. Stars like Taye Diggs and Sarah Jessica Parker showcased their talents on stage before making it big on screen. Broadway remains a crucial training ground for actors, with talents like Kristen Bell and Adam Driver starting their careers there.

While some actors are recognized for their work on screen, there are several actors who actually got their big break on the Broadway stage. Though film and theater showcase the shared craft of acting, the disciplines and skills each medium requires differ vastly. The talent incubated working under Broadway's demanding conditions, such as honing singing, dancing, and live performances in front of audiences night after night, can provide ideal preparation for eventually conquering Hollywood's heights. Numerous now-famous stars first stepped into the spotlight within a Broadway show, parlaying stage success into television and movie fame.

Rick and Morty season 7's episode titles have changed, becoming harder to decipher with fewer references to existing movies and shows. Episode 1, "How Poopy Got His Poop Back," hints at a comeback for fan-favorite character Mr. Poopybutthole. Episode 3, "Air Force Wong," suggests the return of Dr. Wong and possibly the US President, providing continuity from previous seasons.

While Rick and Morty season 7’s episode titles just dropped, they only provide a few choice clues about the content of the show’s next outing. The format of Rick and Morty’s episode titles has changed over the years. When the series first debuted back in 2013, season 1’s episode titles were mostly obscure phrases with no obvious meaning like episode 2, “Lawnmower Dog.” Soon, they became puns that viewers would understand after watching the episode, such as episode 5, “Meseeks and Destroy.” By the end of season 1, Rick and Morty's episode titles were...

When it comes to heartwarming summer romances, movies can capture the joy of love and the endless feeling of summer so expertly. While some memorable films chronicle whirlwind romances that aren't built to last, others explore the origins of enduring relationships. Regardless, summer romance movies capture formative moments in the characters' lives, reminding viewers of their own sun-soaked vacations and amorous adventures.

Of course, so many summer-set rom-coms and romantic dramas veer into sentimentality. While heartwarming, these movies don't quite capture the nuance of what it's like to spend unending days with a life-changing someone. The best summer romance movies provide a healthy dose of cheesiness alongside a convincing dynamic. From jukebox musicals like Mamma Mia! to classic rom-coms like How Stella Got Her Groove Back, the most compelling romances delight viewers — no matter the genre.

On Tuesday’s episode of “The View”, Goldberg exited the stage, telling her co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, “I’m leaving,” appearing to be upset during a heated debate about Lambert’s headline-making incident.

“They don’t want to be there,” Goldberg told the panel about the concertgoers. “If they paid money for the tickets, they came to see her. So if she’s singing, at least show a little respect.

There are plenty of movies about romances between people of different ages, but when it comes to movies about women who love younger men, they are often rare and sometimes fail to deliver without falling into cliché tropes. However, this is not always the case and there are some films that treat these romances with respect and don't shame the characters on either side of the love story.
