Watch: Amara La Negra Shares Her Natural Hair Journey Here
Amara La Negra is a proud Afro-Latina who “embraces her truth.” For La Negra this means that rocking her hair in its natural form—an afro. But the pop star’s striking hairstyle hasn’t always been so well received.
“I’ve had so many stones, and so many rocks thrown at me that eventually it just stopped hurting,” said La Negra. Though she made the decision to give up her relaxer as a teenager, even in adulthood, the Miami native has had to face issues of colorism and prejudice. Notably, on Love & Hip-Hop Miami, where La Negra has risen to fame, producer Young Hollywood said he wanted her to look “A little bit more Beyoncé and a little less Macy Gray.” Goodbye, Sir.
“No matter what you do, people will always have something to say. Whether your hair is too straight, whether your hair is too kinky, whether your hair is too curly—do whatever makes you happy,” La Negra told The Root.
Life-Size 2 Will Reunite Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan
It seems as though all of our childhoods are being brought back around.
Lindsay Lohan’s movies are some of the most important parts of our our childhood and preteen years. Now, in December Life Size 2 will premiere, 18 years after the first movie aired.
it has Tyra Banks back in the lead as a life-size doll that comes to life. The model-turned-actress is promising that her original co-star Lindsay Lohan will be showing up too.
Tyra Banks is excited to be returning to the fictional town of Sunnyvale in Life-Size 2. She stars as Eve, a living doll who has already dabbled in a medical career, aerospace design and the fashion industry, really giving Barbie a run for her money. Banks had this to say about the unexpected sequel that most fans didn’t even really know they wanted.
The original premiered as a Disney Channel original movie way back in 2000. Lindsay Lohan was just getting started, starring as Casey Stuart, a girl who transformers her favorite doll into the perfect living, breathing, thinking woman. Banks was initially disappointed that Lohan couldn’t return for the sequel. Even though the actress turned international resort owner and future MTV star had expressed a deep interest in being in the movie. Banks says this.
“She has this new TV show on MTV about this club so she couldn’t make it, which was sad. [Lindsay] will be in the movie in some kind of way. We’ll see where that ends up.”
Though Lindsay Lohan wasn’t around for initial shooting, she will be participating in the movie. Banks has a new co-star to contend with this time around too. Grown-ish star Francia Raisa will be stepping in to occupy some of the space left by Lohan. And apparently, Banks and Raisa really hit it off. Tyra goes onto say this.
“We went to a spa together before we started shooting and that really bonded us. That girl can act, it’s in her eyes.”
Life-Sized 2 won’t be debuting on the Disney Channel. Instead, it will be part of Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas line-up, hinting at a Christmas themed story this time around. While talking about Life-Size 2 with The Hollywood Reporter, Tyra Banks also revealed that, should her long-running reality competition series America’s Next Top Model return for another season, it will probably mark the beginning of the end. She says this about wanting to bring it all to a close with this next possible run of episodes.
“I wonder, should I stop at [season] 25? Because I don’t want it to stop at, like, 29. You know what I mean? You want it to stop at a round number.”
Tyra Banks went onto say that the original Life-Size theme song is going to be revamped for the sequel. She didn’t provide any more info on Lindsay Lohan’s return, but it sounds like it might be nothing more than a glamorized cameo. Well, us Life-Size fans will take what we can get.

Netflix’s Apostle trailer teases a bloody cult thriller from the director of The Raid
The year: 1905. The plight: Religious blood cults are kidnapping people. The solution: Dan Stevens, certified action hero.
In Apostle, a new film coming to Netflix in October, Stevens — best known for roles on Downton Abbey and Legion, but a proven skull-buster in the criminally underrated The Guest — teams up with The Raid director Gareth Evans for a unique twist on the religious psychodrama. The “twist” is somewhat literal: In the first trailer, we see cranks of a vise stretching out the spine, shackles wrapped around the wrists of prisoners, and a turn or two of a knife in the belly. Apostle promises a gruesome thriller that should scare and shock and further solidify the caliber of both actor and director.
Stevens plays Thomas Richardson, described in the film’s official synopsis as the “prodigal son,” who returns home to discover that his sister has been abducted by a religious sect living in solitude on a misty island. To retrieve her, Thomas travels to the remote location and embeds himself among the members, led by Prophet Malcolm (Michael Sheen). Thanks to bloodlust and the general evil of man, the rescue operation does … not go smoothly.
Written and directed by Evans, Apostle is “a harrowing occult fable where the only thing more horrifying than madness is the sinister reality behind it.” Fans of puritanical action-horror like Black Death, Solomon Kane, The Wicker Man or even Tom Hardy’s Taboo should immediately cue this one up.
Apostle hits Netflix on Oct. 12.

What’s Coming and Going From Netflix the Week of September 17, 2018
I’m most excited this week about a weird limited series called Maniac from Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective, It). Emma Stone and Jonah Hill star as patients in a “mindbending pharmaceutical trial gone awry.” It looks like they hallucinate themselves into a lot of wacky situations, allowing for lots of different costumes, wigs and prosthetics, which is always a good time.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least point out that Tony Danza and Josh Groban star as a father-son duo in The Good Cop. Tony’s the “crooked but kindhearted dad,” Josh plays a “pathologically honest detective.” What hijinks could possibly ensue?
