13 Nollywood Actors Who Always Act The Same Role
Typecasting is real. It’s a problem that many if not all actors face especially at the beginning of their careers. When you are well known for one thing and that thing that you are well known for becomes a critical and commercial success, people especially movie producers always want to replicate that magic and have actors do what they did in that successful movie in hopes that the movie that they’re making is equally as successful.

Shonda Rhimes Is Black In Business
Growing up I always wanted to be a writer. I knew that very early on. While I had no clue exactly what or how I wanted to write I knew that it was my calling. In my youth it was hard to imagine myself making it big like other authors and screenwriters. Not only because there weren't many people of color succeeding in that profession but also there weren't many women at all.

"Why must you be stupid 100% of the time" - Yemi Alade blows hot
Yemi Alade is angry. She's angry at the media once again. If you’re a follower of Nigerian entertainment news or a fan of Yemi Alade in general, then you know that she has always had a very love-hate relationship with media outlets especially blogs and digital magazines.

Health, Culture, Love
As a young man, people seem to judge me when I tell them of my adoration for the beloved Highschool Musical lead, Zac Efron. While I do not talk about him frequently, I suppose I have become something of a fanboy and, on the off times that I do mention him, it shows.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Cary Grant
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

The Greatest Ranger of All Time
Some people say you should never meet your hero, because your perception of them and who they really are often clash. However, the day I met Jason David Frank up until that point was the greatest day of my life! Now I have met many a celebrity in my life, and each experience has been unique, but this story truly does take the cake.

'Schitt's Creek' Co-Creator, Star Dan Levy Picks Up 'SNL' Hosting Gig
I vividly remember the goofy humor of SCTV growing up. It was my first exposure to #EugeneLevy, who would go on to become #DanLevy's dad. After a while, I sort of forgot about Eugene Levy until the American Pie movies came out, and it feels like I blinked and suddenly saw a young man who looked an awful lot like Eugene Levy hosting The Great Canadian Baking Show. Until that point, I really wasn't that familiar with the now-insanely popular Dan Levy, but that was largely because I didn't watch MTV Canada, where the younger Levy was a VJ.
