Destiny’s Child reunion vibes were nothing short of nostalgic as everyone buzzed at Beyoncé’s Vegas show, well, almost everyone. While Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams hit the stage to bring back the magic, a few ex-members, including Farrah Franklin, were noticeably absent from the throwback party.

Franklin’s journey took some wild turns after leaving the group, including multiple arrests for disorderly conduct and public intoxication that landed her in hot water more than once. As Matthew Knowles put it back in the day, explaining her short-lived time with Destiny’s Child (via MTV),

The bottom line is that Farrah didn’t show up for work.

From failed solo deals to a reality TV stint that crashed and burned, her life spiraled far from the spotlight.

Divorced Sistas is the second spin-off of Sistas (after Zatima), expanding its universe with a fresh focus on five women at different points in their love lives—post-divorce, navigating marriage, or dating.

At the Friday night premiere of the series, Perry shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “These women are strong, powerful, more mature, been through the woes of relationships and the ups and downs of marriage, and they find themselves in peculiar situations.”

Peculiar — yet relatable — situations include their personal obstacles through relationships like divorce and tensions within their own sister circle, where “them sticking together is what gets them through it,” he said.

While viewers at home could potentially see themselves in each character, during the panel discussion the actresses shared the ways they specifically relate to the battles their characters are facing.

“I think younger Khadeen, maybe in her teens and twenties,...

The best Christian movies include everything from adaptations of the best-known biblical stories to modern tales that subtly weave in Christian characters and themes to movies that are explicitly by Christians, for Christian markets. "Christian movies" is a bit of a vague genre, particularly considering how widely encompassing the term "Christian" is itself. One of three Abrahamic religions alongside Judaism and Islam, Christianity includes everything from Catholicism to Protestantism to Mormonism. Though, on the surface, these denominations may appear similar, they are different enough that bloody wars have frequently been fought between the groups.

Many movies could be considered Christian, considering how influential the Bible has been on everything from The Lord of the Rings to A Serious Man. But to put stricter parameters on the genre and ensure more unknown films are included, a good list of the best Christian movies should strictly include movies that adapt Christian texts and stories,...

Everyone’s favorite Independent Women have reunited — just temporarily, don’t lose your breath.

A Destiny’s Child reunion was in store Thursday evening as Beyoncé (along with mother Tina Knowles) and Kelly Rowland visited Michelle Williams, who is currently performing on Broadway in a new musical adaptation of Death Becomes Her.

Beyoncé celebrated the occasion in a series of posts shared on Instagram Saturday: In the first, a spliced montage video set to her track “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus, images of Times Square give way to shots of Rowland, Knowles and Beyoncé posing with their Playbills. There are also videos of the former girl group celebrating Williams off-stage following her performance, including photos of her in the spotlight as she debuted the character of Viola Van Horn, the mysterious woman who entices frenemies Helen Sharp (Jennifer Simard) and Madeline Ashton (Megan Hilty) with the pathway to eternal beauty and youth.

Destiny’s Child is one of the biggest, most influential R&b-pop girl groups of all time.

The legendary troupe first debuted in the late ‘90s, delivering hits like “No, No, No,” “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name” that sent them skyrocketing to superstardom in the music industry.

Throughout the years, the group experienced several member lineup shake-ups, before ultimately landing on their most well-known iteration, dubbed “DC3.” Together, the trio would release fun, empowering smashes like “Survivor,” “Bootylicious” and “Independent Woman Pt. 1.”

Since their last studio album in the mid ‘00s, Destiny Fulfilled, all of the members have gone on to embark on solo ventures expanding beyond music into acting, writing, presenting, and appearing as judges on popular reality TV shows.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance is so much more than a concert film. It’s a superhero epic—as if Bey is filling the void left by The Marvels or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. It’s a glorious three-hour tour of the Queen in all her creative splendor, on her record-setting Renaissance World Tour from this past summer. The movie would be a blast if it were merely a jubilant live performance, but it’s also a documentary of a year in Bey’s life. “I spent so much of my life a serial people-pleaser,...

Queen Bey has arrived on the box office stage.

Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé — which Beyoncé wrote, directed and produced — started off its run on the big screen Thursday night with a better-than-expected $5 million in North American previews.

The concert movie is tracking for a debut in the $20 million range, which would mark the biggest opening for the first weekend of December. It should also top this weekend’s chart. And with a perfect 100 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a near-perfect 99 percent audience score, Renaissance come in ahead of expectations.

The weekend after Thanksgiving is notoriously sluggish, and Renaissance is a welcome gift for exhibitors. It should also top this weekend’s chart.

Taylor Swift with her blockbuster Eras Tour movie, Beyoncé and her team decided to bypass Hollywood studios and pact and pact with AMC Theatres distribute Renaissance, which chronicles her recent world tour while also providing behind-the-scenes footage of the superstar.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert pic has achieved yet another milestone at the global box office.

AMC Theatres, which is distributing the film, announced Monday that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has amassed $250 million in worldwide movie ticket sales to rank among the top 20 biggest films of 2023. It’s easily the most successful concert film of all time.

Eras Tour finished Thanksgiving weekend with a North American total of $178.2 million and $71.8 million overseas.

It currently stands at No. 19 on the global chart not far behind The Nun II ($268 million) and The Flash ($270.1 million). Domestically, it stands at a dazzling No. 11 behind the likes of Sound of Freedom ($184.2 million) and John Wick: Chapter Four ($187.1 million).

Swift and her team self-financed the $15 million film, which has been playing in theaters from Thursday to Sunday for seven weekends.

This isn’t the first time they all met up, however: moviegoers reported that viewers get to see the five members of the group enjoy a brief backstage mini-reunion during the concert film as well.

Bey recently made a surprise appearance to drop a trailer for the film, which hits theaters on December 1.

It’s been 470 calendar days since Beyoncé gave her stans an inkling that a Renaissance visual album was coming. In the year following the release of her seventh studio album, the BeyHive relied on their improvisational skills to keep them engaged throughout its nontraditional rollout. They made viral dance challenges to “Cuff It” on TikTok; tried to replicate Bey’s melismatic bridge from “Virgo’s Groove”; and when the came time for everybody to be “on mute” during the “Energy” segment of Renaissance World Tour shows, cities across the world...

Beyoncé captivated Hollywood’s attention Saturday night as the superstar held a stealthily staged world premiere of her concert movie, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

The movie, which documents her Renaissance World Tour, will be released in the U.S. on Dec. 1 via major exhibition chains, including AMC, Regal and Cinemark. Beyoncé fans have noted that Dec. 1 also marks World AIDS Day – the singer dedicated her “Renaissance” album to her late cousin Johnny (she refers to him as “Uncle Johnny”), who died of AIDS-related illness.

Details of the premiere were kept under wraps, with guests invited with a save-the-date that only included the screening’s 7 p.m. start time and a “cozy opulence” dress code. The location, which turned out to be the Goldwyn Theater, was provided less than 24 hours before the start of the festivities. Guests were advised to take a...

Beyoncé brought Renaissance to the big screen on Saturday night, premiering her new concert film at a star-studded event in Beverly Hills.

The premiere, which took place at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater and included a dress code of “cozy opulence,” featured a chrome carpet followed by a screening of the movie. Guests were invited to take photos on the glitzy step-and-repeat — which featured Renaissance film artwork — and participate in several other photo ops, including posing with Beyoncé’s signature silver horse.

Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Latavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, along with Janelle Monáe, Issa Rae, Lizzo, Halle and Chloe Bailey, Lupita Nyong’o, Tyler Perry, Niecy Nash-Betts, Gabrielle Union, Ava DuVernay, Lena Waithe, Kris Jenner, Robin Thede, Jeremy Pope, Laverne Cox, Marsai Martin, Coco Jones, Beyoncé dancers Les Twins and her parents, Tina and Mathew Knowles, were among the stars who walked the carpet.

A small room at the top of Hollywood’s historic Paramount Recording Studios is serving as a salon for Victoria Monét as she and a stylist put the finishing touches on her hair. She’s preparing to sit down with Kelly Rowland, and she’s pretty nervous. Meeting a role model can do that to a person.

When Destiny’s Child released The Writing’s on the Wall in 1997, Monét was about 10 years old, and Rowland about 18. Like many Black girls at the turn of the century (and today), Victoria loved Destiny’s Child.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour functioned as the ultimate birthday party for the reigning queen of Virgo season. On Monday evening, 60,000 BeyHive members — including dozens of celebrity guests — spilled into Inglewood’s SoFi stadium in glimmering outfits to celebrate her 42nd birthday. Attendees likely figured the night would be special but could not have anticipated the chilling awe of witnessing the definitive diva, Diana Ross, lead tens of thousands of voices in singing “Happy Birthday” to a fellow living legend.

The stars were out in force once again for Beyoncé’s third and final Renaissance Tour concert at SoFi Stadium on Monday night.

After impressive celebrity turnouts for the first two SoFi gigs, Monday’s event coincided with Beyoncé’s 42nd birthday, amping up the hype even more with much speculation and excitement at what may happen and possible guest appearances.

Among the stars who joined the teeming thousands of red and black balloon-wielding Beyoncé fans on her big day were Spider-couple Zendaya and Tom Holland, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Chris Rock, Adele, Lizzo, Katy Perry, Kate Hudson, Normani, Brandy, and Kim and Khloé Kardashian.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were also in attendance. The rumored couple was spotted by The Hollywood Reporter’s spy chatting and spending time together in a private VIP section above the floor seats. The appearance marked the pair’s first major public outing together...

If Michelle Williams had it her way, Destiny’s Child would still be together.

With that being said, the 43-year-old singer is open to reuniting with her former girl group members.

While appearing on “The Terrell Show”, Williams commented on the possibility of a reunion while sharing that she “didn’t want” the iconic girl group’s final album, Destiny Fulfilled, to be their last project together.

“I don’t know if we wanted it to be the last. But that’s the way it is,” she said of the 2004 album. “But if it was up to me, we’d still be flip-flopping. We’d still be group, solo, group solo.”

There's a street war brewing in "Raising Kanan" that's caused a family and its empire to fall apart. Now, it'll take a whole lot of manpower and trust to put it all back together.

"Raising Kanan"'s epic season two finale titled "If Y'Don't Know, Now Y'Know," which aired Oct. 23, put a lot into perspective for Kanan (Mekai Curtis), Raquel (Patina Miller), Lou (Malcolm Mays), Marvin (London Brown), and Jukebox (Hailey Kilgore). Between the shootouts that may (or may not) have resulted in the deaths of Jukebox's mother Kenya (LeToya Luckett), Lou's artist Zisa (Paulina Singer), and Unique's (Joey Bada) right-hand man Worrell (John Clay III); Raquel getting snaked by her plug and out of a distribution deal; and heat from the mob coming down on everyone, things are in complete disarray.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for “If Y’Don’t Know, Now Y’Know,” the Season 2 finale of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” on Starz.

Rebuilding Raquel’s empire after all her decisions backfired will be an uphill battle, but she may not have to walk the road alone.

Season 2 of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” ended with an explosive shoot-out between Raquel (Patina Miller), Lou (Malcolm Mays), and Marvin (London Brown), who battled Sal’s (Michael Rispoli) Mafia in New Jersey. The exchange resulted in the deaths of newcomers Zisa (Paulina Singer), Cartier (Omar Dorsey), and Kenya (LeToya Luckett).

Raquel had hit rock bottom with her plans to extend her operations to Jersey, D.C., and the south thwarted, and her son, Kanan (Mekai Curtis) choosing his new relationship with his father over hers. And at a moment where death was knocking on Raquel’s door, she’s saved by her former rival,...

When you get a chance to speak with Thee LeToya Luckett, you take it happily!

And when you get to pick her brain a bit about some of the more devastating scenes from Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2 Episode 8, you make sure to do the interview justice.

Luckett was incredibly candid as she detailed Kenya's thought process during the hour and broke down many of Kenya's motivations pertaining to Jukebox and that fractured relationship.

Kenya and Jukebox's relationship deteriorates throughout this hour after Kenya ambushes her with a conversion therapy session. It's a gut-wrenching scene, and I wondered what was Kenya's thought process throughout this complicated hour as she put her daughter in such a disturbing space.

"Well, it's heavy because I feel for Kenya in this situation, and, of course, I feel for Juke," Luckett explained. "Because of her decision to step out and do what she...

The family business rules everything in the “Power” universe — but in Season 2 of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” some new characters might have a few plans to shake up dynamics as fans know them.

LeToya Luckett, Omar Dorsey, and Paulina Singer have joined the series this season, and each of their characters step onto the scene with something to prove.

As the second season opened with a regretful Kanan (Mekhai Curtis), the teen reunited with his mother Raquel (Patina Miller) and the rest of the Thomas family in New York following the Season 1 blowout between him and Officer Howard (Omar Epps). But he soon learns of new family affiliations, and business is expanding faster than before.

The game looks different in Season 2 in more ways than one. Lou Lou (Malcolm Mays) wants to continue building his recording studio with a new singer, Zisa (Paulina Singer) — and Raquel’s attempt to...

Ah, there's nothing like a trip to the woods to bring a mother and son closer together.

Or maybe not in the case of Raq and Kanan. Especially when Raq planned said trip solely to bury a body.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2 Episode 5 took us out of the city and dropped us in the boonies for a bit, where Raq and Kanan found themselves roasting hot dogs, knee-deep in mud, and fighting for their lives. What a night and morning it was!

Raq has to be able to feel Kanan slipping away. She's way too perceptive to miss the signs, and she already knows he's keeping things from her.

But Raq is smart enough not to call him out on it yet, instead trying to insert herself back into the number one place in his life. And while the trip to the Catskills is mainly about burying that inspector's body,...
