The Lady of Rage is back on the silver screen, and this time, she’s set to play the famous TV psychic, the late Miss Cleo.
Yesterday(July 16), Lifetime released the trailer for Miss Cleo: Her Rise and Fall. The Virginia native plays the infamous infomercial queen who capitalized on the public’s belief in astrology.
Miss Cleo was once known for amassing over $24 million a month for the Psychic Readers Network that employed her services before the Feds came in with allegations of fraud.
Miss Cleo died in 2016 after a battle with cancer, and her likeness was subjected to lawsuits. Still, her popularity never wavered, even though many people don’t know what happened to their favorite tarot card reader.
Last month, the family of OJ Simpson took to Twitter/X to announce that he had succumbed to prostate cancer. The infamous former NFL star was long believed to have been responsible for the 1994 death of his second wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. After his arrest and highly publicized trial, OJ was acquitted. Now, her family has broken their silence on his passing in a preview ahead of an upcoming Lifetime documentary.
The documentary, The Life And Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson, is slated for release in two parts. The first part airs on June 1, and the other the following day. In a clip from the highly anticipated doc, Brown’s sisters Denise, Dominque, and Tanya recount some of the alleged abuse she faced at the hands of OJ. According to them, she had been living in fear before her untimely passing. “She always thought he was going to hurt her,” one of her sisters says in a clip. “She always knew it.”
“Her life was stolen from her and while her abuser is finally gone, it doesn’t take away the anguish we feel or the pain of her children who lost their mother,” they shared with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. They also revealed that their goal is to help other survivors of alleged domestic violence with the new doc. “We hope that by sharing Nicole’s story, it will help others recognize the signs and get the help they need and her legacy will continue to live on,” they explained.

Lifetime has set the premiere date and unveiled a trailer for The Life And Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson, a two-night documentary event that sheds new light on her life on the eve of the 30th anniversary of her tragic and untimely death. The documentary, which aims to present a more intimate and comprehensive view of Nicole Brown Simpson’s life, will air on June 1 and June 2 at 8 pm on Lifetime. With unprecedented access to exclusive home videos and interviews, this documentary promises to offer new perspectives and insights into Nicole’s life and the events surrounding her murder. Here’s what we know so far about this anticipated documentary.
For the first time, Nicole Brown Simpson’s sisters Denise, Dominique, and Tanya, along with her closest friends, come forward to share their memories and stories. These personal accounts aim to humanize Nicole, moving beyond the tragic circumstances of her death to celebrate her life and legacy. The documentary features 50 participants, including those who knew her best, providing a deeply personal and heartfelt narrative.
The Brown sisters expressed their hope that sharing Nicole’s story will help others recognize the signs of abuse and get the help they need. They hope that her legacy will continue to live on through this documentary, providing both a cautionary tale and a tribute to Nicole’s memory.
When O.J. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 due to cancer, Tanya, Dominique, and Denise Brown told PEOPLE that they had complex and conflicting emotions. Dominique expressed that the situation was “very complicated,” while Tanya saw it as the conclusion of a long and difficult period, acknowledging O.J.’s harmful influence on their family. The sisters reminisced about their early encounters with O.J. in the late 1970s, noting both his initial charm and later volatility. Denise recounted a specific incident after a football game where O.J.’s jealousy turned a happy occasion into distress for Nicole. Despite Nicole’s hope that motherhood would change things for the better, O.J.’s behavior only grew more abusive.
The sisters’ recollections of Nicole’s tumultuous relationship with O.J. are detailed in a new Lifetime documentary series, *The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson*. This series sheds light on the extent of O.J.’s violence, which Tanya fully grasped only during his murder trial through disturbing evidence. Denise’s immediate conviction of O.J.’s guilt when she learned of Nicole’s death was later substantiated by DNA evidence. However, Dominique refrains from discussing her thoughts on O.J.’s culpability to protect her niece and nephew. The sisters also fondly remember Nicole’s brief period of happiness and independence following her divorce in 1992. Dominique values the memory of Nicole’s newfound freedom and joy, and Tanya finds solace in the fact that Nicole enjoyed the last two years of her life, despite the subsequent tragedy.
One of the most compelling aspects of The Life And Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson is the inclusion of never-before-seen home videos and interviews. This exclusive footage offers a rare glimpse into Nicole’s private life, her joys, struggles, and the person she was beyond the public eye.

Where Is Wendy Williams, a tell-all documentary from the radio and TV legend, will air on Lifetime later this month. The first trailer for the two-part show is the first sighting of Williams in over a year after she retired from public view due to ill health. The trailer, linked below, is not exactly easy viewing. Williams drinks and cries as she recounts her long struggle over the past few years.
It’s unclear if this is the documentary that Williams was spotted film in early 2023. The last time Williams was seen in public was at her childhood home in New Jersey as part of a new reality show that was expected to air last fall. However, fall came and went without a release, leaving fans confused and concerned for Williams. Will you be watching Where Is Wendy Williams when it drops on February 24 & 25? Let us know in the comments.
Furthermore, the news of the documentary comes around a week after news broke concerning Williams’ current location. Radio host and Williams’ long-time friend Miss Jones claimed that Williams had quietly relocated to Florida with her family “several months ago”. Jones revealed that she had attempted a wellness check on Williams, only to be told by employees at Williams’ former building that she was “several months too late”. The moved reportedly coincided with revelations about Williams’ health, as well as the fact that her family were concerned that her team was “taking advantage” of her. Williams’ son claimed that her team were making decisions on the media veteran’s behalf and had even frozen Williams out of her bank accounts.
Responding to the news, many fans offered their well-wishes to Williams. “I’m not wishing anything on anyone. I’m a believer in God, and I believe God can heal Wendy, and restore her. I pray the will of God for her, and I pray for those who surround her as well,” one person said. “Anyone who grew up in NYC listening to Wendy knows that this is truly sad. Kevin destroyed her. I don’t ever see her coming back to broadcasting. So so sad,” added another.
The Keyshia Cole biopic is ready for your viewing. Keyshia Cole: This Is My Story will make its premiere on June 24 on Lifetime.
The trailer was premiered by Billboard. The film is executive produced by Keyshia Cole, who says, “as a young girl, I survived so many different situations.” She added, “I always wanted to make a movie about my life.”
The film’s synopsis states the movie chronicles Cole’s “early days in Oakland honing her musical talents to her rise to a multi-platinum selling recording artist and television personality, to her complicated yet warmhearted relationship” with mom Frankie Lons.
“This is a story of a daughter’s love for her mother and although my heart remains broken from her untimely passing I am honored to be sharing it with the world,” Cole said in a statement. “Playing the role of myself was a unique opportunity to re-live special moments in my life that also gave me the chance to process her loss in ways I did not expect. I miss her every day and even though she is not here, her presence was felt throughout this film. Mom, I love you.”
Chicago rapper Femdot earned his first big moment in the spotlight in 2019 thanks to his album ’94 Camry Music. Soon enough, his name started to appear more often, appearing on collaborations with Taylor Bennet, Pivot Gang, and more. Femdot returned last November with the tracks “Back Home” and “Lifetime,” featuring Saba. More than three months after sharing the two songs, Femdot and Saba reconnect in a video for the latter.
The rappers’ “Lifetime” collaboration details their hope for career longevity. Together, the Chicago rappers make it clear that want more than fifteen minutes of fame, and in the video they come together in a quiet field to look out to the horizon with the hope that their wishes become a reality.
The new video is the latest piece of content to arrive from Saba in what we hope leads to a new album. After going more than a year without a solo release, the rapper returned towards the end of 2019 with “Mrs. Whoever” and “Something In The Water” alongside Denzel Curry. Two months later, he returned with more music thanks to “So And So” and “Areyoudown? Pt. 2.” So who knows, maybe there will be more.
