Jill Scott gives Deets on new movie [With This Ring] Explains Why She Only Dates Guys for Six Months!

I loves me some Jilly from Philly. I respect her hustle, from Mother to Singer to Actress. Jill Scott never disappoints. She recently sat down with ABC News Radio to discuss the new Lifetime movie "With This Ring" she'll be co-starring in with Regina Hall and rapper EVE.

Just in time for Valentine's Day. The movie is about a group of friends that are tired of being bridesmaids and make it their vow to be married within a year. LOL #goodluck Hmmm Can't wait to see how that one plays out. LOL

Jill on how the movie made her think of her own relationships:

Jill says the cast filmed for one month in Cleveland, Ohio. It gave the stars time to get to know each other, and even discuss what With This Ring taught them about their own love lives.

"The movie made us all think about what we're doing. You know, what are we doing? For the married girls, it made them question and decide for certain that they made the right decision on who they married. They thought about it -- not to say they hadn't before -- but we talked about that: why they chose to marry these guys," she says. "And for Regina and I, the two single girls, we really thought about what it is that we want."

Jill explains why she will only dates guys for 6 months:

"I'm older now so I see a little bit better than I did before. My longest relationships now are about nine months. Actually, now it's grown to six months," she tells ABC News Radio. "There's no need for me to waste my time or anybody else's. I know by then. If you make it over the six month hump, you have done something. I must really like you." 

Amen to that sister!!!

Lifetime Presents: Whitney

The highly anticipated biopic "Whitney", directed by Angela Bassett, premiered on Lifetime over the weekend.

First of all let me just say that Deborah Cox slayeddddddd the vocals!!!She did not disappoint at all!

Unlike that crap of  an Aaliyah movie, it was refreshing to hear Whitney's original music!!! Let's be real the music is almost the most important element to any biopic about a musical artist aside from the artist. Deborah Cox nailed it. ♫♫♫ I'm Your Baby Tonight! #yessss I had to rewind that!!! 

The casting was much better too. Yaya did ok. I wasn't mad at her at all. For some reason something, about the guy playing Bobby Brown, was off too me. I don't know what it was but umm yeah lol 

Anyway another thing I noticed is it kind of felt like the movie was more about Bobby and Whitney was his costar. Not really sure what that was about but again the movie was much better [in MY opinion] than that trainwreck Aaliyah movie. What did you think?

You can check out the movie in its entirety below.

Bonus- Bobby Brown: Remembering Whitney

Lifetime Presents: 2nd Chance- Don't Mess this one up Starring Whitney Houston

After bombing the whole entire Aaliyah movie, the Lifetime channel has some making up to do. Once again after a family of another fallen star stood strongly against the production of a biopic movie, Lifetime took matters in its own hands and did it anyway.
The biopic,starring America's Next Top Model contestant, Yaya DaCosta, simply titled "Whitney" will premiere January 17, 2015 at 8/7c!!!

Lifetime's Synopsis of "Whitney":

Golden Globe® Award winner and Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett makes her directorial debut with the Lifetime Original Movie "Whitney," featuring Yaya DaCosta (Lee Daniels’ "The Butler") in the lead role with Arlen Escarpeta ("Final Destination 5") alongside her as Bobby Brown. 

"Whitney" chronicles the headline-making relationship between the iconic singer, actress, producer and model Whitney Houston and singer and songwriter Bobby Brown from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity to their courtship and tumultuous marriage. Throughout it all, difficulties followed the superstar couple while they dealt with the overwhelming rewards and consequences of the fame and fortune created by Houston’s meteoric rise that would soon overshadow them both.

Houston’s vocal performances in the film are sung by Grammy®-nominated and multiplatinum-selling entertainer Deborah Cox. The music featured in the film includes Houston’s hits “The Greatest Love of All,” “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” “I’m Every Woman” and “I Will Always Love You” as well as Brown’s “Every Little Step.”

Produced by The Sanitsky Company, "Whitney" is executive produced by Larry Sanitsky ("Betty & Coretta"). Shem Bitterman ("Betty & Coretta") wrote the script.

Following the movie’s premiere, Lifetime will air the hour-long documentary "Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston" at 10/9c, providing an in-depth look at the life and death of Houston. Interviews with friends – including longtime friend Darlene Love – colleagues and industry insiders will offer personal reflections and insight into the life and career of this American songstress and the tragic circumstances of her downfall. "Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston" is produced by Peacock Productions.

Ummm so yeah, good luck with that! After that Aaliyah debacle I'm a little worried. Why they keep going against these people's families when they say NO to these productions is beyond me. #fixitjeezus Hopefully they will win us over this time! If not I know instgram and twitter will get them together!!! LOL

Lifetime Presents: #GTFOH Starring Aaliyah

Omggggggg if you witnessed the foolery that aired on the Lifetime channel over the weekend then you already know where this post is going. The network, along with Executive Producer Wendy Williams, tried it!!!!! "Aaliyah: Princess of R&B" was bad! Reallllly bad!!! There were so many things going against this movie I don't understand how it was even released. As a musical artist the first strike was not being able to use any of her music due to restrictions placed by Aaliyah's family. That alone should have scrapped the whole project but nOoo they forced it. Then to add insult to injury these mediocre #catfish versions of characters were no where close to the real artists we know and love. The disaster that played out on the screen was laughable. And then that ending!!!!!!!!!! BOOO Wendy! BOOO Lifetime. #donttryagain
Twitter and Instagram were set a blaze with various memes during and after the broadcast.
(The memes were actually better than the movie.)

Here are a few of my favorites LMAO

And of course "Donkey of the Day:

Update:
Wendy Williams doesn't care what we think. LOL She totally brushed off the epic production failure today during her Hot Topics Segment!!! #delusional #bishplease #sideeyeon100
