What’s a girl to do with such a big decision on her plate? She calls her best friends, struggling restauranteur/breast cancer survivor Melina (Joyful Drake) and retired military member Reesa (Erica Ash), who...

USA Network has ordered high school cheerleading drama “Dare Me” to series, a show based on the novel of the same name by Megan Abbott, an individual with knowledge of the deal tells TheWrap.
Here’s the official logline for the series: “Peering behind the all-American facade, the series dives into the cutthroat world of competitive high school cheerleading. It follows the fraught relationship between two best friends (Herizen Guardiola and Marlo Kelly) after a new coach (Willa Fitzgerald) arrives to bring their team to prominence. While the girls’ friendship is put to the test, their young lives are changed forever when a shocking crime rocks their quiet suburban world. Part coming-of-age story, part small-town drama, part murder mystery, ‘Dare Me’ exposes the physical and psychological extremes that some young women are willing to endure in order to get ahead.”
Abbott will serve as writer and executive producer, along with Gina Fattore.

The hardest working man in the business shows no sign of talking it easy at the ripe age of 68, and the latest addition to his bustling CV is the part of a retired solider who takes the law into his own hands in the fun, knockabout vigilante flick Bad Ass (out now on DVD).
We recently caught up with the Machete man to talk about the film and his desire to continue working within the action arena for as long as his body lets him.

Check out the below previews of an upcoming new scripted series from Bet, a network that isn’t known for crafting its own original scripted content.
It’s a half-hour comedy titled Let’s Stay Together, and is executive produced by Queen Latifah, who developed the series under her Flavor Unit Production company; Jacque Edmonds Cofer (Living Single which Latifah starred in) is its creator.
The show revolves around 5 young African Americans dealing with the complexities of relationships; its cast includes Joyful Drake (Beauty Shop), RonReaco Lee (Moesha) and Erica Hubbard (Lincoln Heights).
“I’m so excited about our foray into scripted television. There have not been a lot of opportunities for African Americans to see themselves on TV in scripted shows. If we want to portray the full breadth of the African American experience, it’s easier to do in the scripted world rather than reality television,” said Loretha Jones,...

Ladies and Gentlemen, and fans of The Game, we are about to enter overtime with the San Diego Sabres and the women who love them.
Bet gave their upfronts today and on the docket for this fall were new original episodes of the previously cancelled CW show, which was a spinoff of the successful sitcom, Girlfriends. The Game ran in syndication on Bet after it was cancelled following the 2008-2009 TV season. It found newfound success on the cable network as well as a newfound fanbase, which boosted the channel's ratings to record highs in repeats alone. Reports surfaced earlier this month about the producers and cast of the show meeting for contract negotiations with Bet to produce and air new episodes since the original cast members' contracts expired last summer.

Opened Friday, April 7
In "Phat Girlz", a comedy about plus-size women, the first word of the movie's title stands for Pretty Hot and Thick. The second word is never spelled out, but it could mean Good Intentions Ruined by Lousy Zingers. Because it's not a bad idea to look for comic opportunities on the subject of women's self-image in this age of anorexic supermodels and worship of weight loss.
Indeed, Patricia Cardoso's endearing HBO film "Real Women Have Curves" already has shown the way. Regrettably, the approach taken here by debuting writer-director Nnegest Likke is to hurl every imaginable fat joke on the screen in hopes that some will stick. Few do.
After a short run in urban areas, this Fox Searchlight release could perform better on home video.
Mo'Nique, the comic who starred on UPN's "The Parkers" for five years, not only stars in the film but embodies the underlying problem: Mo'Nique's in-your-face, combative approach runs roughshod over any attempt to examine the cultural, generational or social attitudes that lead to America's fixation on thinness.
The writing is rudimentary and the direction often awkward, but Mo'Nique would confound a veteran director. Because she is not really an actress, essentially she can convey two emotions -- bubbly excess or petulant pout, with the threat of violence hanging over each. Which turns any character into a manic depressive.
Mo'Nique plays Jazmin Biltmore -- yes, Biltmore, you wanna make something of it? Body size has destroyed her social life and self-esteem. She works in a department store's women's department and does have good ideas about a clothing line for plus-size women, but her boss, Dick (Jack Noseworthy) -- oh, does Mo'Nique have fun with that name -- won't let her show her sketches to the head buyer (Eric Roberts).
When Jazmin wins a week at a Palm Springs spa, she takes along her companion in corpulence Stacey (Kendra C. Johnson) and her cousin Mia (Joyful Drake) who, working from a different family Gene Pool, is a knockout.
At the spa, they run into a group of Nigerian doctors. Wouldn't you know it, in their culture, fat is where it's at. So muscular Tunde (Jimmy Jean-Louis) puts the moves on Jazmin, and Akibo (Godfrey) whisks Stacey off to bed, while Godwin (Dayo Ade) gets stuck with "matchstick" Mia.
Although the course of true love proves bumpy, the experience transforms Jazmin's self-esteem. She eventually launches her clothing line, then flies off to Africa to claim her stud doctor without a thought of how she might run an American business while acting as a Nigerian housewife.
Production values are substandard for a studio release.
