‘The Perfect Guy’ Tops Weekend Box Office

The Perfect Guy was the perfect blockbuster! The creepy flick, which stars Sanaa Lathan, Michael Ealy and Morris Chestnut, brought in a whopping $26.7 million, beating out M. Night Shyamalan’s horror film, The Visit. Another reason to celebrate? This is the fifth—yes, fifth—weekend that a film starring a Black lead has topped the box office (War Room raked in the cash over Labor Day weekend, and before that, Straight Outta Compton held the top title for three straight weeks). Did you see the steamy thriller over the weekend?

Bobby Brown Makes First Television Appearance Since Bobbi Kristina’s Death

Bobby Brown gave his first interview this week, six weeks after the death of his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. The singer sat down with The Real and said that while he and his family prayed for the 22-year-old to make a miraculous recovery, he suspected that Whitney Houston was calling her to heaven. “I’m pretty sure her mother…had a part with like, ‘Come on, let’s get her up here,” Brown said. “[Whitney] was not comfortable by herself, I guess. She just called my daughter with her.” [Rolling Stone]
