Has your hair color lost its luster? You're not alone. About 70 percent of American women dye their hair either at home or in a salon, according to a 2015 story in The Atlantic. That's a lot of money and time waiting for bleach to strip your hair only for artificial pigments to re-fill your strands. The end result? Confidence...until your highlights start to grow out and your tresses begin to split, dry out and just look drab. Luckily, hair masks were invented to bring much-needed proteins and amino acids back into your hair. Unluckily, quality hair masks—even the best hair mask of 2017—can cost upwards of $40. But Dove celebrity colorist Cassondra Kaeding—you've...

Few women have successfully navigated late-night television, but with The Rundown with Robin Thede, Robin Thede is making it her mission to offer something almost unheard of in this space: the black woman’s perspective.

“You should want to know what a black woman feels; you get a bunch of Jimmy's opinions every other night. But with this show you're going to get politics and pop culture told from a different perspective,” says Thede, who after writing and performing on talk shows for Queen Latifah and Larry Wilmore and becoming the first African American female head writer of a late-night talk show (on Wilmore’s The Nightly Show) has stepped out on her own with her 30-minute weekly series on Bet.

In fact, there are two Jimmys -- Fallon and Kimmel -- among the roster of straight, mostly white men hosting some of late-night’s biggest talk shows, but only Thede, Samantha Bee of [link=tt...

She’s not a Housewife, but Brielle Biermann certainly knows how to stir the Bravo pot.

As Real Housewives of Atlanta fans are well aware, a bitter feud recently erupted between Kim Zolciak-Biermann, 39, and NeNe Leakes, 49, after Zolciak-Biermann’s daughter Brielle alleged she found cockroaches in Leakes’ home. The incident will play out in detail this season, but in the meantime, Brielle, 20, is adding fuel to the fire by shading not just Leakes, but also her fellow Housewives Kenya Moore, 46, and Cynthia Bailey, 50. (Zolciak-Biermann has also been fighting with Moore this season, lunging at her in a recent episode after...

MaryAnn’s quick take… Enraging, and eye-opening, the beginning of the antidote for how black women’s lives get erased in America. Tells a story that we should recognize as epic. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m desperate for movies about women

I’m “biast” (con): nothing

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

The ways in which the work, stories, and lives of black women get erased in America are legion, and infuriating. Example of the moment: It was a black woman, Tarana Burke, who started the #MeToo campaign more than a decade ago, but it didn’t get any attention until well-off white women appropriated it just a few months ago, and now, suddenly, people are listening. Burke is not featured on the cover of Time magazine for its Person of the Year designation awarded to “The Silence Breakers” over sexual harassment, though Burke is mentioned,...

The members of Chocolate Milk Mommies, a parenting group in Birmingham, Alabama, are proud to breastfeed their children. But they say nursing at all — let alone in public — often carries a negative stigma within the Black community.

“It is taboo within the African American home to breastfeed your child, let alone to do it past the age of 1,” one member of the group, Rauslyn Adams, 26, tells People. “Breastfeeding has been seen by some African American women as reverting to ‘slavery days’ when feeding a child by breast was the only option.”

Right now the Dceu is in a state of flux. If everything had gone to plan, Justice League would have been the critical and commercial equal to Marvel’s Avengers and kicked off a hotly anticipated phase of DC characters solo movies. With the film a bit of a disaster, however, things are up in the air for Warner Bros. And their problems couldn’t be better illustrated than the current fix they’re in regarding who will play Iris West in Flashpoint.

Previously cast was Kiersey Clemons by director Rick Famuyiwa, and West was set to make her debut in Justice League before a full appearance in the Flash solo film. Unfortunately, the character ended up a victim of the editing scissors and never made it to the final cut of Justice League. Not only that, but Famuyiwa is off the project due to creative differences. So, given that...

Producer Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: Homecoming) has picked up the rights to a sci-fi thriller called Envoy from screenwriter Kat Wood. The film is said to be a character-driven story that is said to be in the same vein of Arrival and The Day The Earth Stood Still.

According to Deadline, the story follows "an elite military intelligence specialist who jumps at the chance to take part in the selection process to become the first-ever human representative to alien life."

Sounds like it could turn out to be a solid film and I'm curious to know what else the story entails. We really don't have much to go off of, but the initial concept is interesting. It's always interesting to see the different interpretations of extraterrestrial life in the movies.

Amy Pascal has got several projects in development such as Venom, Silver & Black, and an Amazon series called Mercury 13 , which is...

Season 1: Kelly Monaco & Alec Mazo

There's nothing sweeter than holding the title of ABC's first-ever DWTS champion! Since winning the mirrorball, Monaco continued to portray the role of Samantha McCall on the network's daytime drama, General Hospital. Monaco made her most recent return to the show during season 25, pairing up with her close pal, Cheryl Burke, and former NFL star Terrell Owens for Trio Night.

Season 2: Drew Lachey & Cheryl Burke

The 98 Degrees singer had so much fun learning how to dance on the show, that he joined the pros and troupe dancers on their DWTS tour after winning the title. At the time, he had no idea that his brother, Nick Lachey, would later compete on season 25 of the show with Peta Murgatroyd. Unfortunately for Nick, he didn't have as much luck -- he and Peta were the fifth couple to be eliminated from the competition.

"I want you to know the only reason I'm consenting to this is because I wish to clear my name." With those words, a twentysomething Brooklyn artist named Nola Darling introduced herself to the world – and, in the process, so did Spike Lee, a prodigiously talented twentysomething writer-director who invented the character for She's Gotta Have It, which hit theaters in the summer of 1986. Speaking directly to the camera, Nola (played by Tracy Camilla Johns) laid out her life's fundamental dilemma: how to be a free-thinking, independent woman who refused...

Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of brilliant African-American women working at Nasa, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big. Photo Credit: Hopper Stone.

Actresses, journalists and everyday American women are using the hashtag #MeAt14 to take aim at Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore amid allegations that he initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32.

The women, including big names like Alyssa Milano, Katie Couric and Gretchen Carlson, have used the hashtag to share photos of themselves at age 14 in an effort to raise awareness about the age of consent and underscore how a 14-year-old child is not equipped to consent to sex with adults.

The social media campaign comes four days after The Washington Post first reported on sexual misconduct allegations against Moore,...

The hour began with a flashback to the final debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, which turned out to be the night that changed everything.

The Divine Order (Die Gottliche Ordnung) will screen at Plaza Frontenac Cinema (Lindbergh Blvd. and Clayton Rd, Frontenac, Mo 63131) as part of this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Tickets for the Friday, November 3rd, screening at 8pm can be purchased Here, while tickets for the Saturday, November 4th, screening at 2:30pm can be purchased Here.

The Swiss film The Divine Order tells the tale of a group of ordinary Swiss women in a little village during Switzerland’s fight for women’s suffrage. The shocking part is this story takes place in early 1971, as Switzerland is gearing up for a February 1971 national referendum on giving women the vote. Yes, that is right, Swiss women were fighting for the right to vote as the rest of the Western world was immersed in Women’s Lib and the Sexual Revolution. It is a lot of catching up to do all at once.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back, and so are frenemies NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak-Biermann.

People Now recently caught up with Atlanta O.G. Shereé Whitfield, and we had to ask about the bitter feud that exploded between Leakes, 49, and Zolciak-Biermann, 39, last month after Zolciak-Biermann’s daughter Brielle Biermann alleged she found cockroaches in Leakes’ home.

Whitfield, 47, who is good friends with Zolciak-Biermann, gave an update on how the Bravo star has been doing since she obtained legal counsel after Leakes accused her of being “racist” on Instagram.

The Deuce saved its best, and its worst, for last.

The final episode of the show's first season is called "My Name Is Ruby" – a title that serves as an assertion of humanity, a prophecy of doom and famous last words all at once. Written by series co-creators David Simon and George Pelecanos and directed by Michelle MacLaren, it's technically about the moment that the selling of sex became part of the American mainstream. But more importantly, it's about the people left behind as surplus to the transition. As such,...

– The Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced that Academy Award–winning actor Helen Mirren will be honored at the 45th Chaplin Award Gala on Monday, April 30, 2018. A beloved figure of stage, screen, and television, Mirren has bestowed upon the world a series of iconic performances in a career spanning more than fifty years. The annual event will be attended by a host of notable guests and presenters and will include movie and interview clips, culminating in the presentation of the Chaplin Award.

“It is an honor and a pleasure for us to present Helen Mirren with our 45th Chaplin Award,” said Ann Tenenbaum, the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Board Chairman. “From housemaid to Queen and everything in between, Ms. Mirren has delivered masterful performances of complex characters, upending stereotype after stereotype along the way.

One of the most shameful moments in Olympic history is becoming a feature film. Neon has just released the first teaser for I, Tonya, featuring Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding.

If you're unfamiliar with the name, let me tell you about disgraced Olympic competitor Tonya Harding. In the 90s, she was one of the most prominent young figure skaters on the Us team. She was the first American women to ever complete one of the hardest moves in figure skating, at the time, the Triple Axel. Harding was even projected to win a Gold medal at the upcoming Winter Olympics. Everything was going her way, until January 1994 when her ex-husband had the crazy idea to put a hit on Harding's rival, Nancy Kerrigan.

The one and only Pam Grier will be honored by Cinema St. Louis with a ‘Women in Film Award’ when she’s in town for this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Pam’s iconic movie career began when she moved to Los Angeles in the late ‘60s from her native North Carolina at age 18. After a tiny role in Russ Meyer’s Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls (1970), she landed a job as a receptionist for American International Pictures where she was discovered by Jack Hill, an Aip director who cast her in a pair of women’s prison films: The Big Doll House (1971) and The Big Bird Cage (1972). Soon she was known as the “Queen of Blaxploitation” at a time when film roles for African-American women were, as Grier puts it, “practically invisible, or painfully stereotypical”.

Fashion designer Donna Karan on Sunday wondered if American women complaining about sexual harassment might be “asking for it” in a series of comments that ultimately ended with a defense of embattled movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Later, while examining “Schindler’s List,” Steven’s sister Anne Spielberg said, “He had the book for over 10 years, and if anyone pushed him on it, he said, ‘I’ll know when it’s time.’ And then the time came.”

Queen Sugar creator Ava DuVernay is changing the Hollywood game by enlisting an all-female team to direct the Own series, making good on the filmmaker’s mission to create opportunities for women of color. For the two-part midseason premiere, she called on director Julie Dash, whose 1991 film about three generations of Gullah women, Daughters of the Dust, was the first feature-length film directed by an African-American woman to receive theatrical distribution in the U.S. -- and later, was heavily referenced in Beyoncé's visual album, Lemonade.

Despite making history in the ‘90s and helming TV movies, like The Rosa Parks Story starring Angela Bassett, this was her first time directing an episodic series. “I didn’t think we’d still be having these conversations in 2017. The conversation did not change until Ava changed it,” Dash tells Et.

On a quiet late summer night in tiny Abbeville, Alabama, a car full of young white men cruised the streets, searching. They were looking for a mark, Nancy Buirski’s wrenching documentary “The Rape of Recy Taylor” tells us, eventually settling on a trio of black neighbors walking home from evening church services. Recy Taylor, then just 24-years-old, a wife and mother to a nine-month-old, a local sharecropper with ties to the community, was one of them. The car’s passengers — seven of them, including the sons of some of the town’s most notable residents — took Taylor to a secluded stand of trees, forced her to strip naked, and then raped her.
