Way to stay relevant....we have to give her credit she hasn't missed a check, since leave the Real Housewives franchise. NeNe Leakes is getting back on stage! The reality star, 47, took to Instagram on Thursday to announce that she is returning to Broadway to star in Chicago.
"I'm so excited to say I am headed back to BROADWAY in CHICAGO as Matron Mama Morton!" she wrote. "#neneismama #doingwhatilove #broadwaybaby #movingbacktonework."
Leakes will play Matron "Mama" Morton, who was played by Queen Latifah in the 2002 film adaptation.

Leakes made her Broadway debut last year as the wicked stepmother in Cinderalla.
Sreen Gems’ romantic comedy feature franchise Think Like A Man is heading to television with its creative team on board. Fox is developing Think Like A Man, a single-camera comedy executive produced by comedian Steve Harvey, on whose best-selling advice book the movies were based, and by the films’ producer Will Packer. Keith Merryman and David A. Newman, who wrote the 2012 movie and the 2014 sequel Think Like A Man Too, will pen the TV adaptation and will executive produce. Tim Story, who
The pilot episode, which is set to begin principle shooting on location next month in Atlanta, Georgia. And while no casting decisions have yet to be announced, let me just throw Meagan Good’s name on out there. She starred in both films and is already under contract with Fox. Her sci-fi drama Minority Report ends after this season, which means she definitely has the time.
Based on the movie franchise and Harvey’s book, the Think Like A Man series explores the never-ending battle of the sexes from four very different points of view: newly married, moving in, breaking up and hooking up. Featuring both the male and female perspectives, our couples and their friends will realize that it’s easy to fall in love and “be” in love but not necessarily stay in love.
Should Think Like a Man get a series order from Fox, it would more than likely hit the airwaves in the fall of 2016.
She's back with power and soul!! The moment has arrived. Four years since her blockbuster album 21, Adele reintroduces herself in the video for her new single “Hello.” Directed by Xavier Dolan, the monochromatic clip was shot in the countryside near Montreal. We find Adele alone in her house fixing some tea while reminiscing about a past relationship with her ex, played by Mack Wilds. In between flashbacks, a teary-eyed Adele tries to apologize for breaking his heart, but when she calls, no one answers.
“So hello from the other side / I must have called a thousand times / To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done,” she sings on the emotional ballad.
Adele’s third album 25 drops Nov. 20 featuring 11 tracks, with contributions from Danger Mouse, Max Martin, Tobias Jesso Jr., and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder
“25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realizing,” she wrote in an open letter. “And I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”
Prior to performing at TIDAL X: 1020, Jay Z stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” during the show’s week-long visit to his hometown of Brooklyn. The Roc Nation mogul sat down for an interview, where he discussed TIDAL, his success, and the best pizza in BK.
“My goal was to have a gold album, and I thought I was being crazy,” said Jay, who ranked No. 2 on Forbes’ Cash Kings list this year.
When Kimmel mentioned that Beyoncé likes extra tomato sauce and jalapeños on her pizza, her husband joked, “She’s from Houston, first of all, and they don’t have pizza there.”
Jay Z attended high school with hip-hop greats like Biggie and Busta Rhymes. While recounting his battle with Busta in the lunch room, he humbly declared that he won. Peep clips below:
At the end, they took a stroll through Brooklyn to Barclays Center, and Jay gave out hugs along the way. “Kimmel” also aired his performance of “Empire State of Mind,” which closed out TIDAL X: 1020.
In other "big pimpin news: Jay Z will not lose. A judge has dismissed a case against the hip-hop mogul and Timbaland alleging copyright infringement with regards to their 1999 hit “Big Pimpin’.”
U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder tossed out the case before it reached a jury. The suit was brought by Osama Ahmed Fahmy, the nephew of Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdi, who was trying to sue over his uncle’s 1957 song “Khosara Khosara,” which is sampled in “Big Pimpin’.”
Nicki Minaj was putting her talent out there on stage along with her famous physical assets. The 32-year-old singer certainly caught the eye in her racy low-cut corset, lace stockings and boots while performing at the sold-out Tidal X: 1020 concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, New York.
And adding fuel to the fire was Beyonce, who joined Nicki on stage halfway through her sultry performance of Feeling Myself.
The concert, "TIDAL X: 1020 Amplified by HTC," was a little like streaming a musical hit parade, as most of the artists only sang one song, and even major stars like Jay-Z and Beyonce kept to short sets. The goal of the event was to raise funds that would be given to the New World Foundation, an organization that funds social movements.
Concert organizers said all money from ticket prices was going to the charity, estimated to be about $1 million.
Jay-Z and other artists announced in March that they were the co-owners of Tidal, which was presented as the first artist-owned music and video platform. It's a membership-based service that offers subscribers two levels — $10 for standard sound quality and $20 for high fidelity sound quality.
Other artists who performed at the concert included rappers T.I., Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Meek Mill, reggae performer Damian Marley, country singer Thomas Rhett, French band Indochine, and singers Nick Jonas, Alessia Cara and Justine Skye. At the concert, it was announced that Marley had become one of Tidal's artist-owners.
Tidal's list of co-owners also includes Madonna, Rihanna, Kanye West and Alicia Keys.
Brandy's back and we got poof! Here's the first look at Brandy’s new BET comedy Zoe Ever After. Set to premiere in January 2016, the show revolves around Zoe Moon, a newly divorced mom seeking to make a name for herself outside the shadow of her famous ex-husband. Zoe teams up with her sassy best friend and flamboyant gay assistant, and together they embark on turning Zoe into what she’s always wanted to be: the owner of her own cosmetics company. I was hoping for a bit more originality, but it’s BET, so I really don’t expect much. The network set trends 20 years ago, but not anymore. Zoe Ever After looks extremely generic, but I’m still willing to give it a chance. What can I say? I love Brandy and will support her in everything she does. Check out the preview below and let us know what you think.

He's here and we like it ! Earlier this month, Will Smith made his return to music on a surprise remix to Colombian group Bomba Estéreo’s “Fiesta.” Now, the tropical electro track receives a compelling video. Smith plays the role of a cloaked figure who stealthily invades a warehouse dance party, his appearance waking up a floor full of sleeping, neon-painted revelers. Smith explains how the remix originally came about. “I was in Colombia with Marc Anthony. He was listening to music and I heard the ‘Fuego, fuego’ [lyric] and I was like, ‘Yo, that joint is crazy,'” said Smith. “I said, ‘That is crazy, I need to be on that.'” Smith is back in the studio and already has 30 songs lined up for a new project. He also plans to launch a world tour next summer with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Watch his long-awaited comeback below.
It was announced over the summer that Rihanna would be joining “The Voice,” and now it’s finally happening. The first teaser has hit the net and it’s full of laughs, sass, and lots of bad gal moments. The clip opens with Rihanna spinning in the famous red chair for the first time and pushing the button as Pharrell yells, “Action!” But he’s not the only one excited to see RiRi. Gwen Stefani can barely contain her excitement, clapping and dancing as she says her name. Blake Shelton gives her a high five and sings her praises (“You’re so good at this”). The contestants also can’t get enough of the superstar, giving her hug after hug. She swoons over one contestant, calling him “sexy” and gives another contestant some styling tips for his hair.
And the platinum superstar has plenty of advice to dish along the way. “Fantasize about the perfect man ’cause it’s a fantasy,” she tells one singer. “It’s not real. It’s like perfection.”
“I think I’m a natural,” says RiRi.
We’d have to agree. Watch Rihanna in action on “The Voice” starting Oct. 26.
