Amber Stevens and her husband, Andre J West, welcomed their first child together. Ava Laverne was born on October 7th weighing 8 lbs., 9 oz., and measured 20½ inches in length according to People.
Ava and her mom share more than just genetics, the two of them also share the same birthday. Talk about the best birthday present anyone can get.
The proud parents met on Greek, started dating and got married on December 5, 2014.
Since there are a few more episodes of Happy Together that were filmed before she had Ava, you should watch the sitcom Mondays at 8:30p on CBS to see how they hide her growing baby bump. I get a kick out of the interesting ways they do it.
You should also check out the show because it is actually really funny.
The proud parents met when they starred on Greek together, started dating and then got married on December 5, 2014. Stevens West’s father is radio DJ Shadow Stevens.
Lil Rel Howery is the breakout star from Get Out, and tonight after the football game he gets his show on Fox. Lil Rel teams up with his former co-star Jerrod Carmichael, who is now his executive producer, for Rel.
Rel had it all, a beautiful wife and two kids, but then she cut him out her life when she slept with his barber. Now he is trying to adjust to single life with his kids being so far away from him. Thankfully, he has his father (Sinbad) who is not that supportive. His brother Nat (Jordan L. Jones) who just got out of jail for dealing crack, I mean ecstasy. Plus, his best friend Tiffany (Jessica Moore) who keeps it real with him. She even sets up him with her friend who has something everyone makes fun of her about.
Good thing his preacher (Lil Rel) likes to use his family and him as examples in his sermons. Good thing for us, not for him.
Rel has a lot of potential because of the people in front of and behind the camera like Carmichael and The Simpson’s Mike Scully. It is not The Carmichael Show, but it is definitely a sitcom we can all fall in love with.
After tonight, we will get more episodes starting on September 30th at 9:30p.
The ending of Get Out made Lil Rel Howery a star, but the original one might not have had the same effect.
When Rel was on Larry King Now and he revealed what we saw at the end of the movie is not what he saw originally. What he saw, he says was impressed him, “But I was also sad.” He explained, “The first time I saw it, was the original ending. I could not even sleep that night. I called Jordan [Peele], my brother, ‘This is great, but I’m so angry.'”
What made him so angry? In the original ending Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) goes to jail and Rel’s character visits him. When Rel asks him why, Chris owns to it all and says it because he is Black in America. That ending did not sit well with the actor and others. Therefore, a month before the movie came out they reshot it to one we saw.
Did they make the right choice? Considering the Oscar nominations, I think so.
Tiffany Haddish is the second guest on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show today and the first one was Oprah Winfrey. Well Haddish is a big fan of Lady O, but sadly she had left as soon as her segment was done. Or so she thought.
As Haddish was praising the woman we all love, she revealed that she sent a few letters to her idol, but never got a reply. Therefore, Ellen wanted to know why Oprah never replied. At that moment Haddish lost it and couldn’t stop crying as she met the Queen of Daytime. But then again who wouldn’t become a slobbering mess if they met Oprah like that.
It is nice to see Ellen use her power for good and not to scare the crap out of someone like she normally does. Especially to someone who is as talented as Haddish, I have loved her since The Carmichael Show. She had us cracking up in every scene she was in on that show. I miss that show, but at least the cast is having successful careers now that it won’t be back for another season.
The Carmichael Show is finally back with all new episodes tonight at 9p on NBC. This show is not only groundbreaking, it is a well done masterpiece. Each week they tackle the biggest issues of the day, and defend it with several sides of the arguments. Even defending issues you would never think they defend. This is a show that parents should watch with their teens because it is an important teaching lesson on life.
Tonight’s first episode at 9p deals with what is rape. Maxine’s (Amber Stevens West) friend slept with a guy at a party when she was drunk and thinks she was raped. Now, the family debates was her friend sexually assaulted. Then Bobby (Lil Rel Howery) thinks that he might have raped his date from the night before because they had sex and she was drinking. Ever since they hooked up, she hasn’t returned his calls and texts, and that makes him more convinced he forced himself on her. Did he? You will just have to tune into find out with an episode that really makes you question when is it really rape?
Then at 9:30p, they take on supporting the troops. Joe (David Alan Grier) is all about it, but then he gets a test to prove how far he is willing to go. Meanwhile, when Jerrod’s enemy turns out to be a soldier, he doesn’t want to support him and that leads to family friction. When Bobby talks to that friend, he thinks about signing up for the Armed Forces. How will the Carmichaels feel about that?
Like I said this is a show that should be watched by everyone because it shows all sides of today’s issues and it really makes you think. How many shows not only make you think, but also make you laugh out loud hysterically? None and that is why you should watch!
