"Thirty years ago today, 20th Century Fox told Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin that casting Will Smith in 'Independence Day' would 'kill foreign box office.' The studio called Smith unproven in international markets. Emmerich pushed back, telling Fox that Universal was calling every day and he would move studios".

"Independence Day' grossed $817 million worldwide, with more than $500 million coming from foreign markets. It became the highest-grossing film of 1996".

Happy Birthday 🎂🎉Tavior Mowry

After years of abuse, Tina and Ike Turner had their final violent confrontation in a limousine in Texas July 3, 1976. They were scheduled to perform a concert that night, but it was canceled. Tina then left with nothing but the clothes on her back, a gas card 💳, and just 36 cents. Her courageous decision marked the beginning of one of the greatest comeback stories in music history.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! 🧨🎇

Sunday, July 7, 1991

Sunday in Paris was an unsold television pilot produced in 1991 that was never picked up as a series.

The comedy starred Debbie Allen as Sunday Chase, Diahann Carroll as Vernetta Chase, Jenifer Lewis as Taylor Chase, and John Witherspoon as Fredric Dickson. The supporting cast also included Jurnee Smollett, Brandon Quintin Adams, and Essence Atkins.

The pilot follows Sunday Chase, a successful daytime soap opera actress living in New York City, who leaves her career behind and returns to her family's Texas farm, where she reconnects with her lively extended family and adjusts to a very different way of life.

Debbie Allen's character name was Sunday who grew up in Paris, Texas.

Mara already has the script, and the story is written. What she needs now is the proper funding to bring her vision to life the way it deserves to be told.

Girlfriends TV Show

Here's something I created inspired by the fictional book Oh Hell Yes! written by Maya Wilkes on Girlfriends. This is my vision of what the book might look like if it were released in real life. Shoutout to the original designer who created the first book cover concept—I simply expanded on that vision and continued the creative design. ✨📚

Season 4, Episode 18

Starring Tracee Ellis Ross, Jill Marie Jones, and Golden Brooks.

What are your thoughts on the girls teasing Joan Clayton for working at Wienerschnitzel in the mall food court?

I've always had mixed feelings about this storyline. I didn't like how Joan's job was portrayed as if it made her an underachiever. Honest work is honest work, and there's nothing wrong with taking a job to pay your bills while getting back on your feet. Everyone's journey looks different, and no one should be looked down on for earning a living.

What did you think about this episode and how the show handled Joan's situation?

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈Henry Simmons

NYPD Blue, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tracee Ellis Ross put the rumors about her being pregnant to bed. She lets the world know she is not pregnant.

I wish people would stop making up false rumors just for likes and views. I want to know who started this rumor?

What are your thoughts on Toni during Season 4 of Girlfriends? 💭

What were your favorite Toni moments and funniest quotes throughout the season? How did you feel about her therapy journey and the emotional growth we finally got to see? Do you think therapy helped Toni better understand herself, her marriage, and her relationship with her mother?

Let's discuss! 👇

🕊️🕯️R. I. P. Luther Vandross Jr who passed away 21 years ago today July 1, 2005 (aged 54). Do you remember where you were when you heard the news?

How did you all feel about them writing an episode about how Reesie is managing the disease and looking forward to living a full life. I mean she literally said she’s too cute to die. Only to be RIP by the end of that episode. What was that about? Do you think that the scare tactic actually sista’s who tuned into the episode from wanting to get tested for HIV? They also had an episode where Toni gets tested which was also a bit cringy to watch. What are your thoughts? 💭

I wish people would show the full clip instead of a snippet that will mislead the audience. Diana Ross was joking about wanting to slap Whitney Houston. Paul McCartney was asking Diana questions about several artists.
