Courtesy of ABC/Bob D'Amico black-ish  Has Quietly Become TV's Best-ish Comedy The N Word. The debate over gun control. Clogged arteries. These topics would probably all score Big Red Xs on a  Family Feud  survey of “funniest sitcom topics.” Yet in its provocatively bold second season, ABC’s  black-ish  has tackled ’em all — and in the process , become one of the best comedies on television. This isn’t to suggest that  black-ish  has entered  Afterschool Special  territory: Not with moments like Jenifer Lewis’ eternally indignant Grandma Ruby huffing “Can you  believe  this n—-r?” after son Dre (Anthony Anderson) schools his parents on the way his generation has claimed the racial epithet “as a term of colloquialism and power.” In other words, it’s a tightrope walk, what creator Kenya Barris and the black-ish  team are attempting, with high-minded topics of national conversation on one side ...

After Madonna's St. Paul, Minnesota show, singer and entire touring entourage visit Prince's nearby complex Two musical titans collided in Minnesota late Thursday night as  Madonna  attended an intimate Paisley Park jam session hosted by  Prince . Minnesota public radio station  the Current reports  that Madonna and her entire touring crew – having performed at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center earlier in the night – ventured to Prince's nearby Chanhassen, Minnesota complex to watch the rocker and his backing band 3rd Eye Girl deliver a late-night gig. According to the Current, a handpicked group of roughly 30 people were notified earlier in the night that something "extra-special" might go down, and by 1:30 a.m., Madonna and her crew began disembarking tour buses. Before Prince took the stage, Madonna's dancers turned the sparsely packed Paisley Park venue into a synchronized dance party. At 2:15 a.m. local time, Prince, accompanied by Madonna, ...

WHATEVER HE WAS RAPPING ABOUT, IT WAS URGENT:" EMINEM ON THE GENIUS OF TUPAC Eminem on Tupac:  The first time I ever heard Tupac was his verse on "I Get Around" with Digital Underground. I was 18 or 19 years old and I remember thinking, "Who is this?" He stood out so much. Once I heard that, I got his first album,  2Pacalypse Now . I saw the video for "Brenda's Got a Baby" and I remember thinking, "Holy shit." By the time he got to  Me Against the World , it was him at his pinnacle. He's off and running. He knows what he wants, and he's figured out how he wants to be and how he wants to sound -- everything. I would probably put that up against anything as far as a classic hip-hop album goes. He was taking things further than a lot of rappers at the time -- pushing it to the next level as far as giving feeling to his words and his music. A lot of people say, "You feel Pac," and it's absolutely true. ...

"Miles Ahead" Now that the  New York Film Festival  has the premiere of  Steven Spielberg 's " Bridge Of Spies " out of the way, and the glitzy bow of  Danny Boyle 's " Steve Jobs " has wrapped up, they can focus on their next big movie to be unveiled:  Don Cheadle 's " Miles Ahead ." For those of us who aren't in the Big Apple, the first clip from the movie will provide a little preview. Don Cheadle stars in and directs the passion project that finds him playing jazz legend  Miles Davis . The story is set during the musician's silent period and follows his return to music, the hatching of a plot with a Rolling Stone writer ( Ewan McGregor ) to win back control of his songs, and details his relationship with his great love and muse  Frances Taylor  ( Emayatzy Corinealdi ). It's potentially great material, so let's hope Cheadle hits all the right notes. No release date yet, but  Sony Pictures Classics  wil...

The Internet was all aflutter last week after the Instagram page The Shade Room posted a photo of former Supremes legend Diana Ross. The 71-year-old singer was pictured at a local organic grocery market in Los Angeles Tuesday sporting a fuller shape. Not surprisingly, some netizens started saying she looked pregnant. But Gossip Cop, a website that debunks celebrity hoaxes, set the record straight. It’s absolutely “not true” that Ross is expecting, the site noted, adding that she has gained some weight, and the unflattering photo exploits that. If she had been pregnant, she would have broken a record. The oldest women to conceive a child is Rajo Devi Lohan of India, who became pregnant at 70, Gossip Cop reported. Despite Ross' weight gain, she was “easily recognizable.” She had her trademark hair, oversize sunglasses and wore all black. Ross doesn’t have to worry about raising a child, but she does have someth...
