  Girls Trip Movie Recap We start the movie by meeting a group of women known as the Flossy Posse. We start off with Sasha (Queen Latifah), a journalist and blogger. Then there is Dina (Tiffany Haddish breakout), she viewed as the ghetto black girl trope but she’s a free spirit woman who plays by her own rules. Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), is viewed as the responsible one a mother and nurse and divorcee. Finally, there’s Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall) an author and mogul who sells marriage and love with her husband, played by Luke Cage. But over the years, the women drifts apart as most friends do. One day, her agent informs Ryan that the Essence Festival wants her to be a keynote speaker for their event (all expenses paid), which she accepts as she believes it will get the Flossy Posse back together. Back with the other women, Sasha is struggling and facing eviction as her blogging not pulling in the views they should (just like this channel). Dina, at her place of employment, crashe...

The movie she won for was 2001’s Monsters Ball. To this day, people ask was this win a cop out win because a black woman has never won this award? The only way to find out is if we recap the movie she won for. Monsters Ball Movie Recap In the beginning we meet Hank Grotowski (Billy Bob Thornton).

  In 1997, Hanson recorded the song Mmbop. That song took over the world and they became one of the pioneers for the teen pop wave of the late 90s and early 2000s. This era was boxed them in, but over time Hanson wanted to prove themselves that they were more. And Hanson quietly had one of the more impressive runs, in the independent lane. Today we going to tell the story on how three brothers from Tulsa took the world by storm, before taking matter into their own hands.   What Happened to Hanson?

  Best New Artist Curse 1990: Milli Vanilli In 1990 Milli Vanilli won Best New Artist. They were an International duo from Germany. They recorded a song called Girl You Know It’s True and it went #1 worldwide. It got the attention from Clive Davis who signed them to Arista Records so they can record a proper album. After this they had #1 hits like “Don’t Forget My Number”, “Blame It on the Rain” & “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You”. They looked like a qualifying artist to win the award. Who Did they Beat? Neneh Cherry, who had the song Buffalo Stance, Indigo Girls who were a folk duo, Soul II Soul was a UK collective that had the song “Back to Life” and Tone Loc a hip hop artist known for the song Wild Thing & Funky Cold Medina. Who Should’ve Won? Soul II Soul would’ve been my pick for Best New Artist but I’m going why when I talk about that in a bit but for now.   Are They Cursed? This was the worst thing to happen to Milli Vanilli because some time after this word got o...
