“I come as one, I stand as 10,000,” Diarra Kilpatrick said through tears at the premiere of Diarra From Detroit in Los Angeles on Wednesday night as she thanked the cast, crew and executives at BET for their work in bringing her new series to life.
Premiering on BET+ on Thursday, the mystery comedy-drama created and executive produced by Kilpatrick is an emotional milestone for the writer and actress who grew up performing in theater in Detroit before moving to Los Angeles to further pursue her passion. “I think about the fact that in 2012 I used my tax return to make a web series,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s been a long journey, and I’m really grateful to all the people who have become a part of it, and I’m grateful to myself for being able to get to my dream.”

It would be a stretch to describe BET+’s Diarra From Detroit, about a schoolteacher getting sucked into the criminal underground via a decades-old missing persons case, as “relatable.” But the sly punchline is that it starts in a familiar place. You see, Diarra (Diarra Kilpatrick) only gets caught up in the mess because she’s looking for Chris (Shannon Wallace), the Tinder date who ghosted her after a single magical evening. Who could blame her for wondering why, and for seeking out literally any explanation besides coldhearted rejection?
In this case, Diarra’s seemingly unhinged conspiracy theory turns out to be true, thus pulling her down a path that’s part noir-infused mystery and part midlife-crisis comedy. If the marriage between the two isn’t always as smooth as it could be, Diarra From Detroit still shines as a fun and funny showcase for Kilpatrick, its creator as well as its star.

If Issa Rae is ever struggling with writer's block, this apparent love triangle between her Insecure co-stars might inspire her to put pen to paper. Fans were surprised to find out that two actors from the hit HBO series, Dominique Perry and Sarunas J. Jackson, supposedly welcomed a baby girl together. Dominique shared—and later deleted—the birth announcement on Instagram, but Sarunas took to Twitter with a black and white photo of the newborn identical to his co-star's post. "Nwts," he captioned the photo, a reference to Drake's 2013 album Nothing Was the Same. Meanwhile, Dominique (who documented her pregnancy journey on social...

Prentice Penny wears many hats -- showrunner, executive producer and writer -- on the HBO series Insecure, about two black women navigating work and relationships in South Los Angeles. And with Sunday’s episode -- season two’s “Hella La”, which he calls a bridge between the first and second half of the season -- he’s added director to that collection.
After years of producing shows like Scrubs, Happy Endings and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Penny has finally helmed an episode of TV, something he tells Et he’s wanted to do for a while now. But it was Insecure -- which was co-created by and stars Issa Rae -- that proved to be the best place for him to make his directorial debut. “It’s certainly a safe environment because I know the show and what we’re going to accomplish creatively,” Penny says. “The most interesting thing, which I’ve told Issa and other people, [is] it...

In the second episode of Insecure season two, Issa (Issa Rae) is determined to give Lawrence (Jay Ellis) "space to forgive" her.
Exclusive: Issa Rae Is Feeling 'Very Secure' About Season 2 of 'Insecure'
Their impromptu quickie (on last week's episode) restores Issa's hope for a fully rekindled romance, but couch sex doesn't mean much in these complicated times. Lawrence clearly feels differently about getting back together.
Issa assumes that he's simply trying to "organize his feelings" by avoiding her, which is partially true. Meanwhile, Lawrence "can't even believe," that he slept with her, and he apparently still wants to work things out with Tasha (Dominque Perry).
Following an awkward "I slept with my ex" confession that ends with Tasha asking him to leave her apartment, he eventually works his way back into her good graces.

I have expressed my less than favorable view of Kevin Hart both in articles and the podcast. His screaming in place of jokes schtick is grating, and I honestly do not understand the appeal. However, in Get Hard, he is paired up with Will Ferrell and ostensibly takes up the straight man role to Ferrell's more wacky counterpart. The results are surprisingly effective, as the two strike up a great chemistry with one another and create a lot of laughs. The film has a horrible homophobic touch to it, along with almost every woman character (and by almost, I mean two of the three in the movie) are treated as merely sex objects, but the stuff around that, like showcasing the worst tendencies of racial stereotyping, had me laughing rather consistently. James King (Ferrell) is an extremely successful hedge fund manager. He was just made partner at his company by...
