Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is teaming up with NBC to release an autobiographical sitcom entitled “Young Rock.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is by far the most successful entertainer to step outside of the professional wrestling ring. Over the past decade and a half, The Rock has been able to become one of Hollywood’s elite personalities and executive entrepreneurs. Now, the eight-time WWF/WWE Champion is adding to his already extensive resume by partnering up with NBC to produce an autobiographical sitcom about his childhood entitled, Young Rock. The pilot for Young Rock will be written by Fresh Off the Boat co-executive producers Nahnatchka...
Pelicans reportedly targeting Thursday’s game against Utah for Zion’s debut. New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson has reportedly fully recovered from surgery on a torn meniscus and is therefore finally ready to make his long-awaited NBA debut. According to SiriusXM NBA Radio host Mitch Lawrence, the Pelicans are now targeting Thursday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz for Zion’s first NBA game. The knee certainly looked well enough during recent pre-game workouts in New Orleans and at Madison Square Garden. Williamson told reporters at the top of the month that he would have been playing already if it were up to him, and...
New year, new man. Timbaland is featured in this month’s edition of Men’s Health Magazine that sees the mega-producer open up more than ever before about his 130-pound weight loss, previous addiction to prescribed painkillers and his changed life. The 47-year-old detailed how his life changed after he had a dream that signified that “death was near.” With that in mind, along with his children Reign, Demetrius and Frankie Timbaland (born Timothy Mosley) figured it was time to switch things up. Paras Griffin/Getty Images “I had to get whipped, because I didn’t appreciate anything,” he said. “All my life I felt it was a...
Our kind of gambling. Some artists are very transparent about the recording processes for their albums, while others prefer to work in private until a finished product is presented. Updating fans on an album’s progress opens the door to them feeling entitled to have an opinion on whether it’s taking too long. SZA recently teased that we can expect new music from her this year, so if she doesn’t follow through on that promise, you can rest assured that she’ll receive an earful (or angry tweets, rather) from her followers. When artists are secretive about recording, the public can...
This would be a lot of fun. All-Star games have been a sore spot for sports fans over the past few years. The effort produced by the athletes has diminished quite a bit and in some instances, players skip the all-star game entirely as they would prefer to rest their body. Some players and pundits have been looking for new ways to make the All-Star experience better, especially within the NBA. Perhaps one of the best ideas we’ve seen is coming straight from Damian Lillard who has been quite vocal about matters that involve the well-being of the league. According...
Meet him wherever, really. Over the weekend, it was revealed that Yung Joc was expanding his income stream by working a second job as a ride-share driver. In a recently-surfaced clip, his passenger makes the connection and belittles Joc for having “fallen off,” prompting him to defend his own entrepreneurial spirit. Seeing as job-shaming is not something the online masses take kindly too — as Geoffery Owens came to understand back in 2018— it didn’t take long before Joc was receiving legions of support from the Twitter folk. Wayno, host of Everyday Struggle saw little to laugh at, though...
Ari Lennox teases the release of her newest song with Omen. During the Revenge of the Dreamers 3 sessions in Atlanta, the Dreamville team worked non-stop on creating some of the best music of the year. They achieved that, being nominated for a Grammy Award at the upcoming ceremony but that’s just for the tracks we have already heard. Although the album has been out for nearly a year, there are so many left-overs that we have yet to hear, including the previously-previewed “Twelve” by Ari Lennox and Omen. After letting the song marinate, working on finishing touches and...
Mad cute. Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert dipped from reality to head to the gorgeous Caribbean island that is Jamaica for what appears to be a vacation filled with some well deserved R&R. To kick off the trip, Teyana shared an image of Iman on Instagram that saw him rocking some velvet shorts. The caption made it clear that Teyana was more into what was behind the shorts as opposed to the whole look. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Now a few days into their vacation, the couple’s time together has proven to be nothing but blissful since Iman has come...
They both got some good punches in. After this, we wouldn’t be too surprised if a third iteration of Surviving R. Kelly debuted at the top of next year. Thus far, Lifetime has aired two versions of the docu-series. The first part was an introduction to all of the abuse that R. Kelly’s alleged victims have lived through for decades. It set off the media take-down of the disgraced singer, who is now awaiting trial in several states for his sexual crimes against underage girls. The second season, which aired just a few days ago, focuses on the direct...
The 24-year-old’s going to be alright. DJ Khaled‘s been busy working on the soundtrack for Bad Boys For Life as well as filming commercials for the upcoming Super Bowl among his many other tasks as a mega-producer and father. While he’s been living his best life, one of the restaurants he co-owns was a location of a recent shooting in North Miami, reports detail. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Video surveillance of The Licking located on Northwest 125th street sees 24-year-old Henry Poumier-Cristo attacking 21-year-old Tamario Rolle after they exchanged some words. After the fact, Henry repeatedly punched Tamario before they made their way outside. “There was...
