George and Amal Clooney: Happily Ever After | 264

You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Kenya, Lupita Nyong’o has had what you could call an unconventional life. After experiencing serious political unrest in Nairobi at a very young age, Lupita packs her bags and heads to the Big Apple to pursue her dreams of becoming an actor. Sure, she’s got the skills to make it. But a lot of the time and talent is just not enough. And what Lupita struggles with in Hollywood goes far beyond the trials of most actors-for-hire trying to score their next gig. Lupita wages a far more intense and deeply personal battle - how to maintain her own identity in an industry that wants to put her in a box.

Who’s ready for a double dose of Blake Lively?! Over the weekend, she and hubby Ryan Reynolds appeared on “Saturday Night Live’s” 50th Anniversary Special. And let’s just say…Ryan ruffled some feathers. In a comedy bit during the star-studded show, he made a crack about Blake’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni, and now he’s getting plenty of heat for it. And speaking of Blake’s legal drama - she just amended her complaint against her former “It Ends with Us” director and co-star. And she says she’s not the only woman Justin made uncomfortable on-set, and that they’re willing to talk. And wrapping things up, we’ve got the latest on A$AP Rocky’s huge win in court.

As we continue to honor impactful artists during Black History Month, we turn to a legitimate legend - Sidney Poitier. Very few people have bucked as many odds as he did. After almost dying at birth, and growing up in near-poverty, Sidney immigrates to the US from from the Bahamas as a boy. Once there, he deals with racism, death threats, homelessness, and an industry that wants nothing to do with him. But he forges ahead, refusing to quit, and makes history with an Oscar win that opens the door - not only for Black people in Hollywood - but all over the world.
