Hairspray Live! We Talk NBC’s Latest Live Masterpiece with Harvey Fierstein and Maddie Baillio!

A peek at the news is all you need to reckon that America needs Tracy Turnblad now more than ever. The fearlessly sunny poster girl for body positivity, self-esteem, racial equality and the power of a good set of dance moves is the creation of avant-garde auteur John Waters, who made her the centerpiece of his 1988 feature film Hairspray. The quirky tale of the Rubenesque teen’s quest to star on, then integrate, her favorite local dance show in 1960s Baltimore was only a minor success, but its do-right-and-dance message resonated with veteran Broadway producer Margo Lion, who hired a […]

Empire Season 3 Episode 4 Recap: Different Worlds

Andre might have just lost his wife in a tragic accident, but I think new sparks are flying between him and Nessa on this episode of Empire. Never would’ve expected that one. Maybe Andre is just the thing Lucious needs to help win over Nessa now that he has to compete for her. Jamal is persistent on working things out with Freda. I’m not sure if he’s trying to visit her to get over his PTSD or if he wants to repair their relationship but I know I wouldn’t have the strength to visit the person who shot me. Ouch! […]
