The novel-to-screen adaptation process can take years. But lately, too many stories from Black authors aren't seeing the light of day at all. For

EXCLUSIVE: Donna Mills is joining OnlyFans at 85 years old.

"I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection," said the "Knots Landing" star in a statement. "I’ll be sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career - while staying true to who I am."

Mahershala Ali is calling out Marvel Studios for not making #Blade, which was officially announced at #ComicCon in 2019:

“I’ve been doing this professionally for pushing 30 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that what is for you is for you and what is not is not. For whatever reason, that project is not for me. If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it. So I have to move on, and I have moved on. Again, you had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would’ve done the movie. So we’re not doing the movie.”

I've read what Gregg Araki has to say about I Want Your Sex, and I'm vibing with it. The movie itself is a vibe—that's all. It's devoid of the level of thought about the subject of Gen Z sexuality and intimacy deprivation that he's been considering in his conversations about it.
