Freewheeling documentary presents a compelling if somewhat rambling portrait of the hardscrabble roots of many contenders
Admittedly, their freewheeling boxing documentary is a little rambling and understructured, but nevertheless director Steve Read and producer-narrator Robert Douglas (both Brits) end up making a compelling and illuminating mosaic about the sport by focusing on an eclectic range of figures, some interviewed on screen. The opening sequence, narrated by Douglas, starts with his personal recollections about how much watching boxing meant to him, especially as a biracial kid from the roughest parts of Liverpool. He ended up living in one of Philadelphia’s seamiest neighbourhoods where he felt right at home, and this leads into a portrait of young boxers at an inner-city Philly gym where training and competing have opened up whole new worlds for young men who otherwise might have been sucked into the violence of the streets.

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety“…
Yvette Nicole Brown says after four years of Donald Trump, this year’s Emily’s List pre-Oscar event is “like a burst of sunshine.” As always, the organization, which works to elect female Democratic candidates, will host a keynote panel with industry figures on April 20 (see Must Attend for details). “Talk about a light at the end of the tunnel,” the former “Community” star says of the Biden-Harris administration. “I think we as a nation have turned a corner. There are still tough times ahead, but we’ve all learned collectively what happens when we don’t vote or when we vote for people who don’t care about people.” Brown says she may even run for political office someday. “Before Donald Trump, I never thought about running because I believed I wasn’t smart enough to do it,” she tells me.

She's ready for baby No. 2! In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, Kelly Rowland candidly opened up about wanting to expand her family, being mom-shamed, loving her post-baby body, and her new partnership with Clorox and DonorsChoose.org to help give kids a better school experience. In 2014, Kelly started a new chapter of her life when she tied the knot with Tim Witherspoon and, later that year, welcomed their son, Titan, 3, into the world. While speaking to Closer, Kelly admitted being a mom has changed everything — and she's looking forward to having more kids with Tim in the future! (Photo Credit: Getty Images) "I definitely want Titan to have a sibling and he keeps asking me for a baby brother. I don't know what God has up his sleeve. What if I have twins or something crazy next? I'm not ready for that yet. It scares me. I'm getting hives just thinking about it,...

"I'm not going to cry," Kelly Rowland swears over the phone to Et. But just as the pop star assures herself she won't, on the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration, Rowland finds herself unable to stop.
She tries to collect herself, but the crying persists. "Sorry for the tears," Rowland, 35, apologizes.
Ahead of the Saturday premiere of her new Lifetime movie, Love By the 10th Date, about four magazine employees juggling romance with career ambitions, Rowland got candid with Et.
Not only did Rowland not hold back on the baby tips she received from Beyoncé, why her forthcoming album won't be about sex and her lack of interest in a Destiny's Child biopic, the girl group alum couldn't help but get emotional over imagining who her "future daughter" will look up to without Michelle Obama in the White House.

Jay Z celebrated his 47th birthday in style on Saturday at a star-studded bash in Los Angeles, with details and the guest-list kept strictly on the down-low.
The secrecy seems to have worked as neither Jay Z nor his superstar wife, Beyoncé, were seen arriving or leaving the super exclusive event, which was held at the swank Republique restaurant.

The upscale eatery was covered in tarps on the outside to grant ultimate privacy for the party-goers inside, who included Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Lawson, and her husband, Richard Larson, as well as Bey's Destiny's Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland, and her husband, Tim Witherspoon.
Mama Tina looked ready to party in a camo jacket with black leather sleeves, which she paired with leather pants and leather boots. Kelly looked chic and sleek in a silver trench coat and gray fedora.
