Vivica A. Fox is set to host a new food competition series called Family Recipe Rumble.
According to Deadline, the new series will award $10,000 to the winner of two families that will put their recipes up in a battle and share stories.
Included in the show will be three courses, detailing their cultures in the creation.
The show is led by Rainbow Heads who are shopping the show to networks.
“This isn’t your typical food competition show,” said Fox. “Recipes passed down by generations sometimes tell the story of a family’s rich traditions, that nourish not only the appetite but the soul.” “We hope to show that meals made with love, and a little bit of friendly competition, can be satisfying to everyone who watches.”

Beverly Johnson, a trailblazing figure in the fashion industry, recently recounted a shocking incident of racism she experienced at the height of her modeling career. Johnson, who made history as the first Black model to grace the cover of Vogue, recently shared an instance when a hotel drained its swimming pool after she went for a swim, solely due to the color of her skin.
The revelation came to light during a gathering at Eileen Ford’s 90th birthday party, an event attended by numerous models and affluent individuals. “All the models were there, and the very rich people, and one girl said to me, ‘Remember when they drained the pool? When you got in the pool at the so-and-so hotel?’” Johnson recounted. Surprised, Johnson responded, “They did?” indicating she was unaware of the incident at the time it occurred.
Johnson, who is currently starring in a new one-woman show titled “Beverly Johnson In Vogue,” chose not to disclose the name of the hotel where this incident took place, citing legal concerns. However, she emphasized that this event showcased the racial challenges she faced in the 1980s. Despite these challenges, Johnson’s career flourished, significantly marked by her iconic Vogue cover in 1974, a milestone that is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
In her book, “The Face That Changed It All: A Memoir,” Johnson elaborates on similar experiences, stating, “So you get a lot of that. People draining pools, it was racist.” She also reflected on the various forms of discrimination she encountered as a Black model navigating the fashion industry.

In the movie One Night Stay, Marcus (Stephen Bishop) seemingly has it all — money, a mansion, a beautiful wife — until a one-night stand with Jessica (Iyana Halley) goes horribly awry. Instead of leaving Marcus’ palatial mansion, obsessive Jessica finds herself a place to hide, making it her residence. Marcus and Milan (LeToya Luckett) go about their life with no idea they have an unwelcome houseguest living with them.
Developed by Jenna Frank and Zach Hunter under the Beautiful Orchid Media label, One Night Stay was written by Curtis Cardwell. The film was directed by Rick S. Mordecon and premiered on BET+ on January 4th, 2024.
The Source had the opportunity to chat with the cast about Hip Hop 50.
Hip hop just celebrated its 50th anniversary. What was the moment that you guys fell in love with Hip-Hop?
Stephen Bishop: I fell in love with Hip-Hop, listening to Sugarhill Gang. That’s when I fell in love. “Rapper’s Delight.” I listened to it, it had to be 40, 50 times back to back to back. It was on an album, and I sat in front of the record player and kept putting it back, kept putting it back. Trying to learn the words, and I’m still in love with Hip-Hop. As you can see, I’m wearing a Redman shirt. I listen to Hip-Hop 95% of the time when I’m listening to music.
This is The Source magazine, right? Little known fact. I was Unsigned Hype in January of 2000. In the Source Magazine. So I am a Hip-Hop kid. I am a Hip-Hop head. Hip-Hop has been such a beautiful theme, background music through my life. No matter what I’m doing, it’s always been there. Look what it’s done to the world. Sugarhill Gang is what made me fall in love with Hip-Hop.
Robert Riley: “I want to rock right now, I’m Rob Base and came to get down. I’m not internationally known, but I’m known to rock a microphone. ‘Cause I get stupid, I mean outrageous. Stay away from me if you’re contagious. No, I’m not a loser, to be an MC is what I choose-a.” Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock “It Takes Two.”
Iyana Halley: For me, my parents, especially my dad loved Hip-Hop growing up. I remember being a kid, LL Cool J and all these people would be playing on the TV. I’m singing these songs, I probably had no business singing at all. It’s stemmed from my parents. Even to this day, I’m obsessed with Nicki Minaj, and those types of — especially female rappers is my favorite. I love Hip-Hop.
Essence Atkins: For me, I was probably 18 or 19 and it was “Burn Hollywood Burn. I smell a riot going on, first your guilty now they’re gone yeah. I’ll check out a movie, but it’ll take a Black one to move me.” Public Enemy.
Stephen Bishop: It’s amazing man. I just thought had another thought. Sugarhill Gang made me fall in love with it, but I have to give credit to Nas for inspiring me to become a writer and really put my poetry, which I was already writing to music. He showed me that it wasn’t — Nas was different. There was a lot of rappers, but Nas was a poet. His writing and his voice was another instrument in the music. If you took the music away, there was still a rhythm to his voice and to his writing. Sugarhill Gang made me fall in love, Nas made me become obsessed with the art form of it.
What were you in The Source for? For Unsigned Hype?
Stephen Bishop: Riggs Morales was there at the time, and Carlito. They got one of my demos and it was more of a spotlight, a feature of an up and coming artist who was unsigned at the time. Look out for this, it was the one with DMX on the cover. January 2000.
