Maleah Joi Moon, Tony Winner, Cast As Lead In ‘A Different World' Spinoff Pilot
Netflix's A Different World spinoff pilot officially has its leading cast. Tony-winning actress Maleah Joi Moon stars as Deborah Wayne, daughter of Dwayne and Whitley (Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy). The show is described as a 'sequel to the 1987 sitcom' that follows the couple's youngest daughter as she attends an HBCU. It's not confirmed if she'll be attending her parents' fictional alma mater, Hillman College. The rest of the cast includes series regulars Chibuikem Uche as Kojo, Cornell Young as Shaquille, Jordan Aaron Hall as Amir, Alijah Kai Higgins as Haggins, and Kennedi McClure as Hazel, Deadline reported. The spinoff pilot has been in development at Netflix since 2024. It's a one-off and and not part of a strategy shift at the streamer. Deadline explained, 'The pilot model in general is more often employed in comedy as a proof of concept for tone, chemistry among the ensemble cast, comedic timing and other key ingredients of a successful series.' The pilot is set to film in Atlanta this June with Debbie Allen directing and showrunner Felicia Pride penning the script. The new series is being helmed by Pride. Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Bythewood will also serve as executive producers. Allen, Werner, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood all worked on the original series, which was a spinoff of The Cosby Show. It ran for six seasons and initially centered around Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and her new classmates at Hillman. However, Bonet exited after the first season and the show continued with series regulars Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, Dawnn Lewis, Darryl M. Bell, Charnele Brown, Lou Myers, Cree Summer and Glynn Turman. More from 'Red Table Talk' Shares First Look Into Their 'A Different World' Reunion Taraji P.

Kim Basinger turns heads in rare photos at granddaughter Holland's birthday party
Kim Basinger is turning heads in recent photos shared by daughter Ireland Baldwin. The Academy Award-winning actress, who is fairly private by Hollywood's terms, appeared in new photos from granddaughter Holland's birthday party. "Celebrated Holland's 2nd at @triskeleefarm with our people," Baldwin captioned her Instagram post. In the snaps, Basinger dressed down for the occasion in an olive green jacket, black sweatpants, black sunglasses and an oversized straw hat and black sunglasses. In one photo, the "L.A. Confidential" actress smiled softly and wrapped her arm around Baldwin, who was holding Holland, while the trio posed with another woman. In another picture, Basinger smiled with Baldwin and two other women. 'A lot of learning I had to do': Ireland Baldwin talks healing from past abuse on 'Red Table Talk' Basinger and actor Alec Baldwin, Baldwin's father, were married from 1993 to 2002. Baldwin shares her 2-year-old Holland with musician André Allen Anjos, who is better known by his stage name RAC. In April 2022, on an episode of "Red Table Talk" featuring Baldwin, Basinger discussed her experience of agoraphobia, an "anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed," according to Mayo Clinic. The anxiety disorder can affect people in instances such as "using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line, or being in a crowd." After suffering an anxiety attack inside a health food store, Basinger said she didn't drive for about seven months. "I wouldn't leave the house," Basinger told co-host Jada Pinkett Smith. "I would no longer go to dinner. I could not even have people for dinner. We tried that, and it's really horrible to feel that it won as really fiercely as (it) did during those years and not know what it was. It's like something just completely shuts down within you, and you have to relearn everything."

She Get It From Her Mama: 5 Powerhouse Celebrity Mothers And Daughters
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE In our culture, a mother's love is more than just raising children, it's building legacy. Black celebrity mothers in entertainment and beyond didn't just show their daughters how to survive in these industries; they showed them how to thrive and transform them. MUST READ: 12 Stylish Mother-Daughter Duos Ms. Tina Knowles didn't just dress Beyoncé and Solange; she clothed them in confidence and creativity that runs deep and has been passed on to the next generation- don't act like you haven't seen Blue Ivy cutting up on the Cowboy Carter tour. Phylicia Rashad, everyone's favorite TV mom; gave her biological daughter Condola that dignified blueprint that says 'take up space unapologetically.' And mama Evelyn Braxton? She raised daughters who know their worth and speak on it, period. These celebrity mothers remind us that when we pour into our daughters, we're not just raising children—we're cultivating the future. And baby, that future looks like us—brilliant, resilient, and wrapped in glory. Jada Pinkett And Willow Smith Source: Gilbert Flores / Getty Jada Pinkett Smith represents a powerful model of Black motherhood rooted in transparency, emotional intelligence, and fierce love. As an actress, producer, and host, she's never shied away from complex conversations—particularly those around parenting, identity, and self-worth. Through her public platform, especially the Red Table Talk series, Jada has opened a window into her evolving relationship with her daughter, Willow Smith, encouraging open dialogue around mental health, self-expression, and generational healing. Jada's influence on Willow is undeniable. She has nurtured Willow's bold sense of self, allowing her to explore her individuality—from her early music career to her current presence as an artist and advocate. By creating a safe space where authenticity is not only accepted but expected, Jada helped Willow grow into a young woman unafraid to challenge norms and speak her truth. Their mother-daughter dynamic is a testament to how Black mothers can empower their daughters through vulnerability, intentional guidance, and an unwavering commitment to growth. Jada's legacy as a Black celebrity mother lies not just in raising a confident and conscious daughter, but in modeling how healing and love can radically transform the way Black families relate to one another. Marjorie And Lori Harvey Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Marjorie Harvey embodies the essence of a modern Black mother—graceful, resilient, and deeply committed to nurturing the next generation. As the matriarch of a beautifully blended family, she and her husband, Steve Harvey, have raised seven children together, including her daughter, Lori Harvey, who has emerged as a prominent figure in fashion and entrepreneurship. Marjorie's influence extends beyond her family. She co-founded The Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation, which offers youth outreach services aimed at cultivating responsible leaders through educational enrichment and mentoring. One of her signature initiatives, 'Girls Who Rule the World,' focuses on empowering young girls by promoting positive self-image, educational achievement, and cultural enrichment. Her passion for fashion is evident through her lifestyle brand, The Lady Loves Couture, where she shares fashion tips and insights into women's empowerment. This flair for style has clearly influenced Lori, who has become a fashion icon in her own right, gracing runways and launching her own skincare line, SKN by LH. Marjorie's approach to motherhood is rooted in faith, love, and open communication. She has instilled in her children the importance of self-respect and individuality, advising Lori to never try to fit in when she was meant to stand out. Their close bond is often showcased through their shared fashion moments and heartfelt family celebrations. In every aspect of her life, Marjorie Harvey exemplifies the strength and elegance of Black motherhood, leaving an indelible mark on her family and the broader community. Ms. Tina Knowles, Beyoncé And Solange Source: George Pimentel / Getty Ms. Tina Knowles is the embodiment of grace, grit, and glamour. As the celebrity mother of two cultural powerhouses—Beyoncé and Solange—she has not only nurtured greatness but helped shape the very blueprint of Black excellence in entertainment. A celebrated fashion designer, beauty influencer, and former salon owner, Tina's signature style helped define the look of Destiny's Child and launched her into the fashion world with her own lines, House of Deréon and Miss Tina. But beyond the sequins and silhouettes, Tina is the essence of Black motherhood: protective, powerful, and purpose-driven. She raised her daughters to be confident, creative, and conscious—grounding them in Southern values, cultural pride, and a deep sense of identity. Beyoncé said it best, 'my mama was a savage I got this shit from Tina!' Whether styling music videos or hosting family dinners, Tina Knowles has always led with love and vision. She is not just the matriarch of a musical dynasty—she's a muse, a maker, and a movement all her own. Diana And Tracee Ellis Ross Source: Toni Anne Barson / Getty Diana Ross is a global icon whose impact spans music, film, fashion, and culture. As the lead singer of The Supremes, she broke racial barriers and redefined what it meant to be a Black woman in the spotlight—graceful, glamorous, and unapologetically powerful. Her influence paved the way for generations of Black artists to follow. Beyond her legendary career, Diana is a devoted mother of five—Rhonda, Tracee, Chudney, Ross, and Evan—each of whom has found success in their own creative and professional paths. Her children speak often of her deep love, guidance, and commitment to motherhood, even at the height of her fame. Her legacy is more than just awards and accolades—it lives in the lives she's shaped, the ceilings she's shattered, and the timeless inspiration she continues to be. From the stage to the family table, Diana Ross has always led with intention, elegance, and love. Evelyn, Tamar, Toni, Towandra, and Trina Braxton Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Evelyn Braxton is a powerful example of Black motherhood, known for raising five talented daughters—Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar Braxton—who each found success in music and entertainment. A former opera singer and deeply spiritual woman, Evelyn laid the foundation for their careers by instilling discipline, faith, and a love for music from an early age. As the heart of the Braxton Family Values reality series, she became known for her strength, wisdom, and unshakable support for her children. What we learned while watching the series is that Mrs. Evelyn plays no games and doesn't allow her daughter's stardom stop her from checking them when needed. Beyond television, she's also a life coach and founder of 'God Can Heal The Heart,' a mentoring initiative focused on emotional wellness and spiritual growth. Through it all, Evelyn Braxton has remained a pillar of her family and a shining example of how Black mothers shape legacy through love, leadership, and resilience. These women represent more than fame—they represent generational excellence, Black maternal power, and the beauty of legacy in action.

Influencer Olivia Jade hits the beach in Miami. She is Aunt Becky's mini-me
Slide aside, Southern California. Miami has a new fan: Olivia Jade. The infuencer, the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, is in the 305 and clearly enjoying herself. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old, who goes by her first and middle name, hit the beach, showing off a few snaps to her 1.2 million Instagram followers. 'It's a beautiful day!' said the post. In another carousel, the beauty vlogger is seen lounging with a cup of coffee, and in another pic, smiling wearing a pair of shades and a bikini on the sand. The sign in the background puts her at the public beach in Surfside. Even the most casual observer can't ignore the young woman's striking resemblance to Loughlin, who starred as Becky in 'Full House' (and even before that as Jody on vintage soap 'The Edge of Night'). It's unclear why the YouTuber is in town beside the obvious reason (hello, perfect weather). It's also unclear who is on the other side of the camera because some of her photos don't appear to be selfies. Rumored boyfriend, Aussie actor Jacob Elordi, perhaps? He wasn't in paparazzi photos picked up by the gossip rags. Whatever the reason, it's clear that Giannulli has moved on from the college admissions scandal that rocked the headlines a year before COVID hit. Loughlin, 60, and Giannulli, 61, admitted to paying $500,000 to a fixer to help Olivia and her older sister Bella get into USC by falsely portraying their daughters as standout rowers, even going as far as to stage photos. Neither girl was charged but Loughlin was sentenced to two months after pleading guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. The TV star was also fined $150,000 and required to complete 100 hours of community service. Giannulli served a five month sentence. There was no grudge about what her folks did, the former USC student told the ladies on 'Red Table Talk' in late 2020. Ignorance really was bliss. 'To be honest, I wasn't angry and I think it's because I didn't have a good understanding of what just happened,' Olivia said at the time. 'I walked around my whole 20 years of life not realizing, 'You have insane privilege.''
