Leading Black British stars, writers and execs have become the latest to criticize the Labour Party for its controversial mishandling of a row involving the UK’s first ever Black female MP.
Diane Abbott’s return, or departure, from the party she has been an MP for since 1987 has dominated UK front pages over the past week and the likes of Lenny Henry, David Harewood and Afua Hirsch have now had their say.
In a damning open letter titled Loyalty Has Never Been Unconditional, the group of around 40 prominent Black figures said they are “appalled by the Labour Party’s treatment of Diane Abbott,” describing it as “disproportionate, undemocratic and vindictive.”

‘OutDaughtered’ viewers call out the quints’ baby voices
Adam and Danielle Busby have made history for having the first all-female set of quintuplets in the United States.

Detailed Guide to ‘A Christmas Prince’ Film Series ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Films and TV shows do not always have to be profound, with a deeper meaning behind them. They don’t always have to have a conventional format, and they definitely do not always have to be life-changing experiences. And while many films out there aim for substance and depth, sometimes they can get a bit daunting and stressful. Which is why cheesy, guilty pleasure films exist. These are movies that just go for the cheese and clichés, no grand conclusions, no complexities whatsoever. They’re often so bad that it makes them good.
One such film series is the “A Christmas Prince” trilogy. It’s a Christmas romance that was first released in 2017, but apparently, one movie wasn’t enough, so they decided to turn it into a trilogy.
The second film was released on November 30, 2018, and was called...

Exclusive: Euphoria producer A24 has turned to a series of self-published, TikTok-famous novels for its latest project out of the UK, Deadline understands.
The independent studio has snapped up the rights to Jessa Hastings’ Magnolia Parks universe books, which went viral on TikTok and have been described as Gossip Girl in high society London.
The Magnolia Parks project is understood to be a reasonable way into development, with A24 close to signing off partnerships for the series. The company declined to comment.
Firmly in A24’s zeitgeisty wheelhouse, the first novel follows the story of beautiful but neurotic London socialite Magnolia Parks and Bj Ballentine, the bad-boy lothario who broke her heart.
Hastings’ second book, Daisy Haites, expands on Magnolia’s world by following fellow London “It Girl” Haites, the heiress to a criminal empire who is desperately pursuing a normal life.
The third and fourth books return to Parks and Haites’ perspectives respectively.

“I hope we can communicate and reconcile again,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon on the opening night of the South Korean city’s film festival.
With so much of the dialogue in opening drama “Because I Hate Korea” discussing Korean societal rigidities, group loyalties, long working hours and poor pay (which cause the protagonist to emigrate to laid-back New Zealand), it is easy to forget that many of these characteristics are what may have saved this year’s Busan International FIlm Festival from going off the rails.
Mid-year, the festival’s aging senior management had a self-inflicted meltdown (a senior moment?) when chairman and co-founder Lee Yong-kwan set off a chain of events that caused multiple resignations, highlighting the old city-versus-festival political divide and alienating local sponsors and industry guilds.
This was dirty laundry that Busan should have washed out of its system in the years-long aftermath of the 2014 “The...

There are comedy films that sacrifice a few jokes and gags in order to improve the story. That’s not the case with director Melissa Miller Costanz’s new film The List. The List, in fact, is so keen on keeping the silly one-liners that it seems nobody even tried to salvage the story. Apart from the fact that the film beats around the bush a lot, another annoying fact in this romantic dramedy is that the characters are not defined in a believable way. The story begins with Abby and Matt’s engagement. When famous actress Kenzie Scott showed up in the bar where they were celebrating with their friends, the topic of the list came up. This was the list where Abby and Matt each listed five celebrities they were allowed to hook up with, and it wouldn’t be counted as infidelity. What follows is quite sad,...

The two are the parents of the United States’ only all-female set of quintuplets, and they share an older daughter, Blayke, who is four years ahead of her younger sisters. That makes six daughters total — and it also makes for a great TV show.
Adam and Danielle have talked about why they chose to do the show, and some might automatically assume it’s for the paycheck. While there’s a chance that that helps, Adam and Danielle have said there is actually another reason behind their motivation for the show.

Adam and Danielle Busby are back with their five adorable quintuplets and older daughter, Blayke. The young quints are now eight years old and growing up quickly; it’s been two years since TLC’s OutDaughtered has graced our television screens, but fans are happy to see the family continue to navigate life with the United States’ only set of all-female quintuplets.
Still, living a life on camera can have its ups and downs. Adam revealed in a recent interview that he and Danielle sometimes get “criticism” for the way things appear on TV — but said there is actually one major difference on and off-camera that fans don’t realize.

The series saw a two-year long break between last season and the current season, which had some fans wondering if the couple had decided not to move forward with filming the show. However, the daughters are back, and they’re growing quickly; they’re now eight years old, in school, and even exploring with makeup.
Upon seeing one daughter playing with mascara on social media, some of the TLC show’s fans thought the girls were too young to be wearing makeup, while others sided with Adam and Danielle in saying it’s harmless to let an eight-year-old experiment a bit.

Just as she starts to get close to living the ultimate dream in La La Land, things become complicated when Abby meets Jake, a waiter with big dreams of his own, who offers a fresh perspective.

The new trailer for Universal’s romantic comedy “The List” teases Halston Sage and Christian Navarro finding love in a hopeless place – Los Angeles.
Abby (Sage) wasn’t expecting to add Jake (Navarro) to her dating itinerary, but after a rough breakup leads to her building a list of celebrity “free passes” and traveling to Los Angeles to court the rich and famous, his ambition and charm catches her off guard and flips her expectations of love on their head.
The romcom charts Abby’s personal reinvention when her fiancé cheats on her and sleeps with a celebrity on his “free pass” list.

Every romantic comedy has its left-turn hook, right? For the new upbeat rom-com “The List,” the fishhook is the enticing but also possibly dreadful celebrity “free pass,” wherein a couple agrees that if a certain actor is on their “free pass” list, they would be able to have sex with them, no strings attached should that fantasy ever happen. But all fantasies can backfire, right? Sort of like asking your gf if you can have an open relationship, and she immediately says, “Yes!”

Camilla Parker Bowles, now officially Queen Camilla, didn’t exactly have a quiet entrance into the royal family. Her lengthy affair with Prince Charles blew up in the news in the 1990s, effectively shattering the family dynamic between Charles and his then-wife, Princess Diana, and their two children, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Harry wasn’t shy about what happened behind closed doors with Camilla in his book “Spare” — he openly admitted that he and his brother plead with their father not to marry her. Now, even years later, his body language suggests that he still has difficulty understanding his feelings toward Camilla — at least, according to one expert.

A few brides from the 16th season of Married at First Sight chose unlined illusion dresses, and some show fans were not too pleased. Though the look is on trend in bridal wear, some viewers thought the gowns looked “so cheap” and unflattering on the blushing Nashville brides. But not everyone agrees!
Jasmine | Married at First Sight | Lifetime What is an unlined illusion wedding dress?
Brides.com declared “transparency” a hot trend in wedding gowns as of December 2022. They wrote, “For the moderately-brave bride, peek-a-boo gowns are illusory without feeling like you’re baring it all. Styles that are semi-sheer in the bodice, along the neckline, or lower down on the skirt are just showy enough.”
They define an illusion wedding dress as “a gown that runs the gamut from ultra-sexy to subtly sheer. This style of dress is often made from see-through fabrics, skillfully adorned with glistening beadwork, appliqués, and embroidery.
