Erykah Badu Joins Cast Of "What Men Want" |
Erykah Badu is heading to the big screen. |
(AllHipHop News) Soul star Erykah Badu is joining Taraji P. Henson onscreen in forthcoming romantic comedy "What Men Want." |
The Oscar nominee shared the news of Badu's new gig in a recent post on Instagram, as she posted a snap of the pair acting opposite one another on set. |
"Y'all, Look who I get to play with!!!" excited Taraji captioned the image. "Queen @erykahbadu and all of her greatness joins the cast in #whatmenwant as #Sister!!!! Can you DIG IT!!!" |
Erykah joins a cast which also includes Tracy Morgan, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Max Greenfield, while Hairspray filmmaker Adam Shankman is serving as director. |
Badu already has a number of screen credits to her name - she made her acting debut in Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman's 1998 movie "Blues Brothers" 2000, and went on to appear in "The Cider House Rules," while more recently, she has voiced characters in animated shows "Black Dynamite" and "Legends of Chamberlain Heights.... |
Now this is how you pull off a proposal! |
When Alison Briggs decided to ask the important question to her partner Cydney Childers, she was hoping to incorporate their love for One Tree Hill. |
So what better way to get engaged than with a little help from Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush? |
"Ten years ago I discovered One Tree Hill and it changed my life. A lot of people don't seem to understand that, so I always tell them about how it comforted me in my darkest hours, and how it gave me a place to call home," Alison shared on Instagram. "But four years ago I joined the One Tree Hill fandom and met you, a... |
Oh yes, Cydney said yes and Hilarie and Sophia were on-hand to witness the epic proposal. |
One Tree Hill: Where Are They Now? |
"Today was an absolute dream come true. After months of planning and stressing and wanting the perfect proposal, it ended up being better than I ever could've imagined. THANK YOU SO MUCH @hilarieburton @sophiabush and @fwbcharityevents for helping me propose to the love of my life- I can guarantee this is a moment we w... |
The romantic moment took place at a "Weekend in Tree Hill" charity fundraiser in Tree Hill, North Carolina. |
And while it's perfectly clear Alison loved every moment of the proposal, Cydney was also thrilled at everything that went down. |
"I've loved Hilarie Burton since i was 8 and she was in kahoots w my f--king gf for her proposal???????? to me???? what the f--k," she wrote on Twitter. "So the thing about me is that i am engaged now :')." |
While speaking to E! News, Alison explained her love for the series. Cydney was also a huge fan and they quickly connected over their admiration for the characters and story lines. |
"We would always gush over how the show impacted us and even playfully argue over who was a bigger fan. Soon enough, we discovered how much we actually have in common and fell for each other pretty quickly," Alison shared with us. "Now, we've been together for three years and have gone on dozens of trips to incredible ... |
"It was a HUGE honor today to be a part of this beautiful couple's engagement!! Alison, thank you for including @SophiaBush and me," Hilarie later wrote on Twitter. "We are so happy for you lovebirds!!!!! Xoxoxo @FWBevents" |
Next trip? The wedding altar, obviously! |
Wong's work influences film production and animators until today. |
Chinese-American artist and illustrator Tyrus Wong is being recognised for his illustrious career with a Google Doodle on what would have been his 108th birthday. |
Wong, born as Wong Gen Yeo in the Guangdong Province, China on October 25 1910, immigrated to USA with his father when he was nine - which marked the last time he would see his mother and sister. |
Upon arriving in America, Wong faced hardship as he was barred entry under the Chinese Exclusion Act, which restricted the number of Chinese immigrants that could enter the country. |
He ended up settling in Los Angeles, California, where he began attending school. His teachers soon noticed his artistic capabilities and his talent led to a scholarship opportunity at the Otis Art Institute. |
After graduating, Wong became a talented animator, calligrapher, muralist, and set designer, setting out on a career in Hollywood during which he created some of Disney’s most iconic works, including 'Bambi.' However, his only credit came in the form of a background artist. |
He worked as a production assistant for 26 years at Disney and Warner Brothers Studios. |
Alongside, he continued to paint, with many of his works being displayed alongside works of Picasso and Matisse throughout his career. |
But it wasn’t until 2001 that Mr Wong was finally acknowledged for influence on 'Bambi', when Disney bestowed upon him the honour of a Disney Legend. |
Wong passed away in 2016 at the age of 106, by which time his talents and contributions to the art world were widely recognised. |
With one week left to go in the official life of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, my company's IT department suddenly realized that it is way behind where it should be on its plan to meet the deadline. |
As almost everyone knows by now, Microsoft will be ending support for Windows XP on April 8. The most important concern we security managers have about this apocalyptic event is that Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for vulnerabilities in XP. This will leave XP users without the ability to harden their P... |
Some doomsayers have even gone so far as to paint the harrowing picture of an army of hackers waiting to push the Enter keys on their keyboards on April 8, taking over the world's XP systems at a stroke. While I personally doubt this particular scenario, I do think that the risk of attack against XP systems will increa... |
I've had my eyes on this risk for quite some time. My company's data center manager has been running a project to replace windows XP with Windows 7 across the company, and it's only now that he's realized he's way behind where he thought he should be by now. In fact only half of the company systems have been converted ... |
It seems we are not alone. News articles abound with stories about windows XP stragglers. Even ATMs are being called out as running the obsolete operating system. Who knows, maybe on the day after the deadline all the ATMs running Windows XP will spit out all the cash on the ground. Then again, maybe not. But one would... |
Of course, we have antivirus software to help compensate for the lack of security updates on our XP computers. But signature-based malware protection is just not enough. My sophisticated security monitoring systems routinely detect malware infections that were not stopped by the endpoint antivirus software. We have to ... |
I'm looking at other options, like segmenting Windows XP systems on their own isolated network. I'm even thinking of going as far as preventing them from reaching the Internet. Of course, that will render them essentially useless. But the Internet is where the threats are, and without adequate defenses, it's only a mat... |
Another option is application whitelisting. That's a really cool technology that I've been looking at for some time now. But it's just not realistic for me to roll that out before the deadline. There's simply not enough time. Application whitelisting software is a good way to prevent malicious code from running on an e... |

Sheppard was an employee with Ascension Parish Government for approximately 11 years assigned to the Public Works department. |
Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre reports the arrest of 52-year-old Sheldon Sheppard, an Ascension Parish Government employee on theft charges. |
The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office Financial Crimes Unit began an investigation on Tuesday, March 12, after President Kenny Matassa turned over information discovered in an internal audit by the Parish Finance Department, which showed that Sheppard used his parish government issued fuel card for his personal vehicle... |
As the investigation continued, it was learned that Sheppard used approximately $2,800 worth of fuel purchases dating back to August 2018. |
He was booked into the Ascension Parish Jail on March 18 and bonded out on a $5,000 bond set by Judge Leblanc. |
Start with a seedling or established rosemary plant. |
Rosemary, or Rosemarinus officinalis L., is a hardy evergreen, perennial plant that does well in pots and outdoors to Zone 8. In addition to its culinary value, rosemary serves as an ornamental, fragrant shrub or cascading groundcover in well-drained areas. Both upright and prostrate varieties of rosemary are available... |
Select an upright variety of rosemary to prune into a cone shape, such as Arp, Madalene Hill, Logee Blue, Miss Jessup or Tuscan Blue. Avoid the prostrate types. |
Mix 2 parts potting soil with 2 parts peat moss and 1 part compost. Work the ingredients together well. Fill a pot with drainage holes three-quarters full of the mixture and pack firmly. Make a hole in the middle and set in a young rosemary seedling or an established plant from your garden. Pat the soil firmly around t... |
Insert a stake into the soil next to the plant and secure it to the stake with twist ties if you are starting with a young seedling. Inspect the staking periodically to make sure the rosemary is growing straight up. |
Place the pot in a sunny location and turn it a quarter turn every few days. Protect it from wide temperature variations and do not expose it to extreme cold. |
Water the soil, mist the rosemary leaves regularly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Use an all-purpose plant food and feed it every four or five times you water according to label directions. |
Trim the rosemary plant often with pruning shears or sharp scissors. Trim it into an overall conical shape, leaving the bottom shoots longer than the top shoots. Allow the bottom branches to radiate outward to the edge of the pot. At first the shape will have gaps and holes, but eventually the foliage will fill these i... |
Watering a cone-shaped rosemary plant can be messy because the lower branches cover the soil. |
Use the cone-shaped rosemary topiary as a holiday decoration by adding strings of lights or other ornaments. |
Remove the leaves from the stem cuttings and use them as a fresh herb or dry them for later use. |

At the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Disney Animation and Pixar head John Lasseter announced that he is stepping down as director of “Toy Story 4,” with co-director Josh Cooley taking over as director. |
Lasseter says he will stay on the project as producer. Cooley previously worked as a storyboard artist at Pixar and co-wrote the script of “Inside Out.” Cooley also directed “Riley’s First Date,” a short film featuring the “Inside Out” characters. |
Cooley then joined Lasseter onstage for a formal introduction and to present a special video where he introduced Pixar fans to the team working on the upcoming film and took them around Pixar’s studios in Emeryville, CA. |
At the D23 Expo in 2015, Lasseter revealed that the story of “Toy Story 4” would focus on Woody’s romance with Bo Peep, who was missing from the main story in “Toy Story 3,” and would see Woody and Buzz set out to discover what happened to her. Produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out”), “Toy Story 4” is slated for releas... |

Legendary Chicago blues label founder will be honored at the upcoming independent label convention. |
Bruce Iglauer, founder and CEO of legendary blues label Alligator Records, will be presented with the American Association of Independent Music's (A2IM) Libera Awards Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a leader in the industry as well as his humanitarian efforts. |
He will be honored with the award -- to be presented by Tommy Boy founder Tom Silverman, winner of last year's award -- June 19 at NYC’s Highland Ballroom. |
Iglauer started the label in 1971 -- when he was a 23-year-old shipping clerk -- to record and release an album from Hound Dog Taylor & the HouseRockers, his favorite band. Since then, Alligator Records has grown into “the leading record label for the blues,” with a catalog of 300 titles, more than 130 produced or co-p... |
