Angela Bassett To Direct Whitney Houston Movie

Lifetime has announced it has greenlighted an original movie about Whitney Houston's life to be directed by Angela Bassett. This will be Bassett's directorial debut. The acclaimed and much admired actress has worked with the network on previous projects, most recently the original movie "Betty and Coretta", in which Bassett portrayed Coretta Scott King. The Houston movie is said to cover the Bobbie Brown, Houston's singer-songwriter husband, years and delve in their stormy marriage. The movie is from executive producer Larry Sanitsky and writer Shem Bitterman. We just hope Brown (as well as close friends and family) was involved in the project and offered first-hand knowledge with a clear eye.  It might go a long way in helping us understand Houston's demons (if there were any). The movie is expected to have a world premiere sometime in 2015.

Harry and Meghan's Wedding Left a Lump in Our Throats

Aside from nearly being brought to tears on several occasions, we did manage to maintain a lump in our throats for the better part of the day. The dress was stunning. Her hair was perfectly imperfect and Meghan was naturally regal! A first kiss #RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/EWJO22iWLh — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) May 19, 2018 We all took Harry to our hearts so many years ago, and hope their love will be fruitful and last forever. Best wishes to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex .

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com
