Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine To Produce Marvin Gaye Biopic

Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine Tapped to Produce Biopic

Dr. Dre and Iovine team up to produce the long-awaited Marvin Gaye “What’s Going On” biopic. 

Warner Bros. bought the biopic script for over $80 million, written by Marcus Gardley, according to Deadline. Dr. Dre and Iovine will join filmmaker Andrew Lazar in producing the biopic, with Allen Hughes directing.

In an interview with Deadline, Hughes expressed his personal connection to the project, stating, “When I made my first film with my brother, we were lucky to include ‘What’s Going On’ in the trailer for ‘Menace 2 Society,’ and it completely transformed the film’s marketing. Almost all of my films, except for ‘From Hell,’ featured Marvin Gaye’s music, and I’ve always felt a deep connection to him.”

According to Deadline, the Marvin Gaye estate and Motown gave the green light for the project. Moreover, Gaye’s widow, actress Jan Gaye will serve as an executive producer.

Expected Film Release

The film will debut in 2023. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Gaye’s influential “What’s Going On” album. In fact, numerous individuals are fascinated by the singer’s early life, the conflicts with his father, and his love life. The film will delve into various personal aspects.

“You’ve heard about all the famous directors who have spent decades trying to secure these rights,” Hughes explained. “It all began with Dre suggesting that we do this together, and then Jimmy joined in. We collaborated with the estate, Motown, and other entities to finalize everything, and we succeeded.”

The biopic serves as one of many collaborations between Dre and Iovine. The HBO series “The Defiants Ones,” touches on their decades-long friendship, which Hughes directed too.

Other Community Engagements 

Dr. Dre and Iovine have also announced their vision to develop a magnet school in Los Angeles. The school will provide entrepreneurial programs, high-tech equipment, and projects that involve private industry.

Where To Buy CBD Oil For Dogs

If you have decided to surprise your dog with a brand new supplement that has been practically taking the world over for a long time now, then you must have be really excited about it. There is no reason not to be, since the supplement I am talking about has proved to be rather beneficial for animals. CBD oil, also known as cannabidiol oil, is well-known for its pain-relieving, anxiety-reducing, and health-improving properties for both humans and pets. This article aims to provide you with information regarding CBD oil. How it is used

Now, if you are so excited to try this product out, what could possibly be stopping you from finally doing it? Well, I might know the answer to that question. You are probably not sure about where to buy your CBD oil for dogs, since your research led you to a lot of different shops and sellers out there. The fact that there are so many options you can choose from is making this decision quite more difficult than you thought it would be.

I can completely understand your hesitation here. After all, you don’t want to end up buying some poor quality products that you will later be disappointed with, which is why you don’t want to rush into making this purchase. Still, if this is the first time you are even thinking of buying CBD oil, then you might not be sure about how to find the right shop and how to be sure that you are making a wise choice.

Well, that’s where I come in. I am going to teach you which steps you should take to find the perfect shop and the perfect seller for you. Once you learn how to do that, you’ll be rather confident with the choice that you finally make. That way, you’ll be sure that the CBD oil you are getting for your canine is of perfect quality and that both you and your pet will be happy with its effects. So, let me help you learn what to do.

Talk To People Around You

Unsurprisingly, one of the first things you should do is talk to any people around you who might have already used some CBD dogs products, as their insight will definitely be extremely useful. These individuals can provide insights, on what to anticipate when initially introducing Cannabidiol to your dogs. Additionally they can guide you in selecting the seller. In essence conversing with these individuals particularly if they are not acquaintances but your friends can furnish you with highly beneficial information.

CBD Dogs

Join Online Groups And Communities

Even though this product has become extremely popular, it can easily happen that you don’t know anyone who has been buying it for their pets for a while and who can give you the information you need. This, however, shouldn’t get you discouraged at all, since there are other methods of finding out about some great shops and sellers. To begin, there are numerous online groups and communities where pet owners who have purchased CBD can connect. So, try to find some of those and join them. Now, you will probably get quite a few recommendations in these groups and you might feel tempted to

simply choose one of the sellers and place your order right away. That isn’t quite a great idea, though, and I suggest you hold your horses for a while longer. Sure, some of those recommendations could actually be perfect, but the point is that you won’t know that unless you do some more research of your own.

Check The Quality Of Their Products

Speaking of CBD products, here’s what you will have to do next. Check the quality of those before deciding whether to buy them or not. First and foremost, take a look at the label and check the ingredients, in order to be sure that there are no harmful substances inside, such as THC for example. Ultimately, it’s crucial to ensure that the CBD oil you purchase for your dogs is made entirely from natural ingredients. Checking the ingredients is a vital step in this process.

Compare The Prices

After having found a few great quality products, your last step should be to compare the prices at a few different shops, so that you can find the most affordable option for you. Of course, you should keep in mind that the quality is always much more important and that it shouldn’t be ignored for the sake of the price. Yet, the simple truth is that you’ll be able to find some great CBD oils sold at completely reasonable prices, just as long as you do your research properly.

Telfar Clemens Designs Uniforms For Liberian Athletes

Telfar Clemens Pays Homage to Home Country 

Telfar Clemens paving the way for a fashion win for the Liberian team.

Don’t miss the opening ceremony of the 2021 Olympics on July 23rd to witness the future. Our runway. Thank you to @matadi and Kouty Mawenh. We are all ready and we have already won. 🥇🥇 #REPATRIATION.

The post showed the new uniform with a blue and white color scheme. It has a star on the chest and the Olympics logo on the sleeves. The design is unisex, featuring a one-shouldered tank and track pants/shorts, according to the New York Times.

Clemens Embracing the Opportunity

Although Clemens is new to the performance wear game, he jumped at the opportunity to work in the category. The performance wear lane was one that Clemens hoped to explore. In addition, he agreed to his brand sponsoring the national team, which involves covering its food and traveling expenses.

Clemens told the New York Times that he was on board with designing the uniforms and being a sponsor almost right off the bat, as the sponsorship is the largest outside investment Telfar has made. The report claims that he and artistic director Babak Radboy had been wanting to work on athletic clothing for a bit.

“They might have been surprised by some of it,” Clemens said. “But I haven’t heard a no. Just excitement.”

The Telfar Collection Debut

Clemens shares that the collection will debut during the Olympics. In addition. he will make a limited collection of athletic wear available on his website, with other “evergreen” workout wear dropping in September.

The world can experience something wild, something that cannot be found elsewhere. 

Fans must tune in to the Olympics to see the uniforms and purchase their own athletic gear after the games.

So, we may not get the *Nsync reunion we all hoped for but fans still can see some of the members peform together with members from, once rivals, Backstreet Boys. Nick Carter and A.J. McClean join Joey Fatone, Lance Bass as they create a new group: Back-Sync. First, I think they could have come up with a better name: Street-sync, Sync-Boys, Boys n’sync. Anyway, I think better names were out there. Apparently, not much thought was giving to that part of the endeaver. 

“It’s interesting to have the four of us knuckleheads do something together, which you’ve never seen before,”

-Joey Back-Sync.


The new group came together to perform for Pride to benefit the Trevor Foundation. As a result, the frankengroup, Back Street was able to donate a whopping $1 million to the Trevor Foundation.

Backstreet Boys members AJ McLean and Nick Carter and *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Lance Bass performed together for the first time on Friday, June 18 at Bingo Under the Stars. The event was to support Pride and the LGBTQIA+ community, which took place at The Grove Los Angeles.

They performed “I want it that way” and “Bye Bye Bye.” Needless to say, the choreography most likely will be less intense given BSB didn’t have as much intense choreography and the two members of *Nsync included in this frankengroup are not the most athletic and gifted dancers of the bunch. That’s not criticism but an observation of what may change with the group if they continue to perform outside of this one event. Back-Sync spoke to Entertainment tonight. Both groups’ members spoke about wanting to collaborate and bring exciting new songs.

Via Carter’s Instagram

Obviously, in the 90s-2000s, fangirls were split and were either a Backstreet Boy fan or an *Nsync fan. However, it was more to do with the record company and people behind the scenes than the group themselves. Until, the groups began feeding into the rumor mill and taking what was said to heart. But, a couple of the members of both group were actually friends and lived close by. Looking back, they realize what was happening and moving forward they decided they could forge their own paths. Hense, Back-Sync was borrn.

“I still don’t get why we didn’t get a chance to do more together, but we found out it was managers and stuff happening behind the scenes that stopped it. It’s better late than never, right?”

-Nick Carter

“Back then there was no social media, there was none of that stuff,” McLean notes. “So, press and media then pitted us against each other because look, same label, same management for a brief period of time. And we’re all from Orlando. So, like, there was a lot of the parallels and we were very similar. Same producers. But there was still a difference between the two of us, you know? … I mean, there’s a mutual respect.”


How do they sound together?

“The dynamics are different when you mix-and-match different groups,” said Carter, “It’s exciting and fun because it brings out a whole other personality that you wouldn’t necessarily do in your own group.”



“It just fits,” added McLean. “Not that that the five of us [Backstreet Boys] don’t work because we obviously do, but it’s a different feeling. It’s like when you’ve been in the same relationship for a long time, take a break, meet somebody new and it’s fresh and exciting!”

Either way, it’s clear fangirls no longer need to choose. Here’s hoping we get some original content rather than just remashing of their once hits. Leaving you with this Tik-Tok video from A.J. McLean.

Despite playing with a torn miniscus, Joel showed incredible determination. He attributes his toughness to the city of Philadelphia, known for its resilient spirit. Despite setbacks, the city continues to embrace the underdog status and its passionate fans.

Does that change how you feel about the loss? Many fans believe Embiid shouldn’t apologize since the real issues lie with Simmons and Doc. Nonetheless, having a player who understands the city’s passion for sports is invaluable. Joel Embiid has shown the ability to recognize problems, take responsibility, and turn things around. He truly embodies the spirit of Philadelphia. As our MVP, other players should learn from his example.

Lil Yachty Remembers XXXtentacion On His Third Death Anniversary

Plenty of people made big plans this past weekend, especially since Juneteenth has finally become a national holiday. Finally, some progress has been made in the fight for racial inclusivity. While large scale changes have taken root in America, others remain a problem. For instance, the unjust murders of upcoming black artists still plagues this country.

This past weekend marked the third anniversary of a former rising emcee’s death, XXXtentacion. Several members of the HipHop community mourned the death of the rap star and even shared tributes. Among them, Lil Yachty shared his best memory of XXXtentacion through a series of old text messages exchanged between the two. Apparently, the pair loved each other’s music.

Unfortunately, many of HipHop’s promising talents have gone too soon due to gun and crime violence. Despite their untimely deaths, people have found ways to keep their memory alive. For instance, Rapper Lil Yachty reminiscenced on the good memories of his friend XXXtentacion. Moreover, this past Saturday signified the third anniversary of his death. In honoring his memory, Lil Yachty recalled the time him and XXXtentacion gushed about each other’s music.

Furthermore, the “Broccoli” rapper shared a screenshot to Instagram of an old 2017 iMessenger text thread exchanged between the two. In the messages, he expressed his excitement over XXXtentacion’s collab with 21 Savage “Valentine.” Furthermore, X seemingly couldn’t believe that Lil Yachty loved his lyricism at the time. Soon after, X revealed that he’d been a huge fan of Yachty’s 2017 “X Men.” Additionally, rapper and model further shared with X that he finishes all his shows with his platinum-selling-hit “Look At Me!”

Overall, Lil Yachty captioned the screenshot with a heartfelt message to his friend. “On my mama we ain’t do nothing but trade love. Pure positivity. You are a god my good sir @xxxtentacion.” These two loved each other’s work.

Lil Yachty’s tribute to XXXtentacion clearly showed the two had been good friends. The “X Men” rapper honored the rapper on the third anniversary of his death with a great memory that probably touched others. It also showed how humble of an artist X seemed. With so much early success, such as his debut album 17 debuting in the No. 2 spot on the Billboard charts, X could afford to act humble. In addition to making the top spot on the charts, his first album also went certified platinum. Clearly, XXXtentacion was a star in the making.

Wendy Williams Spills Tea On Jay-Z’s Relationship With Foxy Brown

When it comes to spilling the tea, tv host Wendy Williams takes the crown. The daytime tv host had loads of celebrity news to unload on audiences this week. Though, probably the most shocking rumor Williams disclosed came during her discussion of Foxy Brown’s new memoir. Furthermore, Williams told audiences that she believed Jay-Z dated the female rapper before tying the knot with his beloved Beyonce. We can only imagine what Hov had to say about the rumor.

Hollywood loves a juicy romance story. Though, the media especially loves learning about secret relationships. Wendy Williams certainly dished one of Hollywood’s biggest kept secret relationships in HipHop history.

While discussing Foxy Brown’s upcoming memoir, the tv host let slip that the rap icon dated none other than Jay-Z. “Jay-Z and Foxy Brown shared a romantic thing. Alright, I’ll say alleged but we all know, we know. Yeah, she hit it before Beyonce! Allegedly,” Williams said during her June 16 segment. Talk about spilling the tea. It seems like Foxy Brown might have some explaining to do. Not to mention, Beyonce might not be too thrilled to learn about her man’s secret relationship either.

            The Tv Host Throws Major Shade At Foxy Brown’s Memoir

Wendy Williams didn’t just stop at spilling the tea about Hov’s supposed secret love affair with Foxy Brown. She even dared to throw shade at the rap icon’s upcoming memoir. She plainly stated, “This isn’t a book I’d read.” Guess it wouldn’t be Wendy Williams in true fashion without a little shade-throwing.

Additionally, Williams proceeded to make cruel jokes pertaining to Brown’s hearing loss from 2005. While noting that she’d listen to her book on tape, she made the harsh jab, “Unfortunately, Foxy can’t do her book on tape.” If there’s one thing fans know about Wendy Williams, is that she loves spilling the tea.

City Girls, Cori Leray & Lakeyah Turn Up Backstage

Back in the day, men owned and pretty much dominated all of HipHop. Luckily, those days have come to an end. Nowadays, more and more women have emerged into the rap scene, bringing something to the table. More importantly, they’ve changed the entire scope of HipHop culture forever.

Female emcees like City Girls, Coi Leray and Lakeyah have especially impacted the culture. In celebration of their successes, these women of HipHop decided to turn up backstage before doing a performance. Not only did the turn up, but they danced it out to the City Girls’ new track “Twerkulator.” There’s nothing better than seeing women supporting other women.

The entertainment business has some twisted fascination with pitting women against each other. More often than not, the media loves stirring up drama between female rappers. Though, the City Girls, Coi Leray and Lakeyah have risen above the white noise. Recently, the rap duo City Girls posted a video on TikTok of them turning up backstage with Coi Leray and Lakeyah.

This past Saturday, the ladies turned up backstage at a Mississippi concert Coi Leray and the Miami duo had been scheduled to attend. Moments before performing, the leading ladies decided to dance it out to City Girls new “Twerkulator” track. Furthermore, the four women shared the video footage of them dancing to each other’s socials. Looks like the girls had an awesome warm-up session.

Not only did the female rappers slay with their dance moves, but also served with their individual looks. While the City Girls sported matching demni body suits, Lakeyah wore an all red ensemble with long flowing locks. However, Coi Leray’s all white two-piece stole the show. Not only have these women become trailblazers in the rap scene, but their style has become a staple.

 

Tyga & His New Girlfriend Announce Engagement

There’s nothing cuter than a couple in love. Obviously, the media loves when a new Hollywood couple flaunts their love all over social media. Tyga and his girlfriend Camaryn Swanson have only dated for a couple of months. Though, the new couple seem more than ready to take the next step in their relationship. After all, we only live once in this life. Now Tyga and the social media influencer have decided to tattoo their names on each other. In doing so, they also officially announced their engagement.

The Couple Tattoo Each Other’s Names

Love can make people do crazy things, even when it’s just puppy love. Tyga and his girl have been dating since the start of 2021. Furthermore, they made their relationship known to fans just this past March. Obviously, they’re still in the honeymoon phrase of their relationship and it shows big time. To show just how much they love each other, they decided to get love tatts.

Last Tuesday, Camaryn Swanson took to Instagram to show off the new ink her and her famous boyfriend received. The two tatted themselves with their nicknames. Furthermore, Swanson branded herself with Tyga’s nickname ‘T Raww’ on her neck. Similarly, the rapper had ‘Cam’ printed in bold gothic letters on the inside of his wrist. Clearly, the pair couldn’t help but shower their love tatts all over social media. We wonder if their relationship will last past the engagement stage.

They’re Officially Engaged

It’s obvious that Tyga and his girlfriend Camaryn Swanson aren’t taking things slow. Instead, the couple seem eager to skip the dating part of their relationship and go straight to the alter. In addition to branding themselves with tattoos of their names, they also announced their engagement.

Rumors of their engagement circulated when Swanson posted a selfie with Tyga, sporting a diamond ring. Recently, the Instagram influencer sported the ring again on June 11th at Zack Bia’s birthday party in West Hollywood. After seeing the selfies, fans took to the comments, asking if the two were officially engaged. At this point, it’s pretty obvious that the couple plan to take the next step in their relationship.

What do you think? Do you think they’re engaged? Will their marriage last?

“Gorilla Glue Girl” Rolls Out Her Own Hair Care Line

Finding the best hair products for black hair can be like a needle in a haystack. Luckily, there are products that do work wonders for our hair. All we have to do is look in the right place. Louisiana native Tessica Brown, aka “Gorilla Glue Girl” just released a new haircare line that’ll help anyone grow their hair back. After already enduring her horrific hair experience, Brown has sought to help others with her new haircare line, Forever Hair. It already sounds like a promising hair product.

Tessica Brown Underwent Four Surgeries to Remove Gorilla Glue

Experimenting with hair products doesn’t happen without a little trial and error. Not everyone has the same grade of hair or curl pattern. However, Tessica Brown’s hair experimentation went haywire after she accidently sprayed her hair with Gorilla Glue instead of Got2b Glue. Furthermore, Brown’s hair remained stationary for an entire month, before finally she decided to try and remove it herself.

The Louisiana native went viral after uploading videos of herself struggling to remove the “impenetrable helmet” with different products. Moreover, Brown used shampoos and oils to dissolve the Gorilla Glue from her hair. Additionally, the viral hair vlogger used all the ingredients necessary to remove the glue, such as acetone and isopropyl. When nothing worked, Brown reached out to medical practitioners. In February, Brown underwent a four-hour long surgery to remove the industrial strength glue.

Her surgeon, Dr. Michael Obeng, used medical-grade adhesive remover, aloe vera oil and even acetone to remove the glue. Unfortunately, Obeng wasn’t able to salvage much of Brown’s hair, leaving her nearly bald. The experience could’ve been traumatizing for any woman.

Fortunately, Tessica Brown’s horrific experience with Gorilla Glue didn’t dissuade the hair vlogger from finding a cure to hair growth. While she may not have cracked the code, Brown did start her own hair care line. After losing most of her hair during the surgery, Brown began searching for a natural way to promote hair growth. Soon she partnered with industry professionals to create “a growth stimulating oil.”

Furthermore, the Louisiana native announced her new hair care line Forever Hair on Wednesday on CNN. Brown told the news publication that her new hair care line uses “all-natural ingredients” including pure avocado oil, rosemary and black castor oil. So far, her new product has been “a life saver.” Now Brown only hopes that Forever Hair will help those who struggle with hair regeneration.

Tory Lanez Petitioned For Nicki Minaj To Hop On “SKAT” Remix

Everyone loves a catchy song. Even artists themselves love the sound of their own music. Tory Lanez especially can’t get enough of his newest single “SKAT” featuring DaBaby. Like almost every rap song, though, two rappers alone isn’t enough to hype up a song. They need an entire army to take the song up a few notches. More importantly, they need a rap icon to up their game.

Unfortunately, Tory Lanez has fallen from HipHop grace after his drama with Megan Thee Stallion. Though, now the rap star seemingly might be trying to claw his way back into the spotlight by scoring a feature with a major emcee for his “SKAT” track. Now the star has petitioned for rap queen Nicki Minaj to hop on the song’s remix.

Of course, Nicki Minaj has gained her status as becoming one of the biggest rap stars in the game. Emcees and admirers have given her “flowers”, which she very well deserves. Furthermore, Tory Lanez certainly wants to hand Nicki Minaj her flowers. The rapper even petitioned to have her featured on his collab with DaBaby “SKAT.”

Moreover, Lanez has been teasing the release of the song for some time now. Now that it’s finally here, Lanez wants to keep the momentum going. After a Twitter user suggested Nicki Minaj hop on the track, the “Say It” rapper agreed. “If the queen hops on the Skat remix… it’s going to be insane! I mean, the song is already amazing… but it will go through the roof after that. And she would definitely kill the beat too! I was thrilled to see that she enjoyed the video! She’s more authentic than most people in our industry,” the star tweeted. If we didn’t know any better, Tory Lanez almost sounds like a super fan.

                    What Do The Fans Have To Say

While Tory Lanez is over the moon about a possible collab with Nicki Minaj, fans have mixed feelings. Some of the fans took to Twitter to express their excitement over Lanez’s tweet. Others, however, didn’t seem all that thrilled about Lanez’s petition to collab with Nicki Minaj on the track.

In fact, some Twitter users threatened to cancel both the rap stars. One Twitter fan wrote, “If Nicki hop on a Tory song I might just have to cancel.” That’s pretty harsh. “Nicki doesn’t even f**k with Tory. I’ll never forget her snatching her verse back him,” another user wrote. People have a lot to say about Tory Lanez’s tweet. Now we’re left wondering what Nicki Minaj thinks about hopping on the “SKAT” remix.
