Charleston White Captures The Internet’s Attention By Acting Like Himself In New Movie

by

As many of you know, Charleston White is usually popping up on people’s social media feeds but not for the best reasons at times. Throughout his multi-media career, he’s been hyper critical of rappers and other online personalities. Sometimes, he takes things too far and it almost always gets him in hot water. However, despite his flaws, there are a lot of folks out there who find him quite comedic. That two-faced personality is why many still keep tabs on him to an extent because of his explosive behavior. This time, we are sharing a highlight of his, as Charleston White has the internet yucking it up over a new movie role he scored.

Yes, if you weren’t familiar, he’s been in a couple of projects since 2023, according to his IMDb page. They are pretty obscure projects and the roles are minor. But it seems he’s trying to pick up a new skill which is highly commendable. This film looks to have some more backing than others, as according to eventbrite, it had a premiere over the weekend.

Charleston White The Next Major Movie Star?

It took place on Saturday, November 16 at the Angelika Film Center & Café in Dallas, Texas. The title of the movie is Wrong Address and it was released by A Bigger Picture. It also stars Nykol Harris, Alex Stein, and Jayceon Marshall. There isn’t much on the plot of it, but based on the short clip above, it looks to be some sort of crime/dramedy of sorts. Speaking of that clip, it’s garnering people’s attention on social media for how Charleston White portrays his character.

That is to say it’s basically himself and to no one’s surprise, he kills it. He’s being interrogated by the police and he’s shouting profanities and acting out, which is how he normally is on the internet. People seem to be loving it, with one X (Twitter) user writing, “🤣🤣 I need to check this out.” Another jokes, “He could play a big role in the next Friday movie😂😂” According to his Instagram, there looks to have been another private showing on November 17 in Mississippi, but information on where to watch is unavailable.

TI Reveals He Almost Got Fired From “ATL” In His Third Day On Set

by

While TI has long been associated with hip-hop, he’s also stretched his range into a number of other mediums. The most notable might be television where he starred in TI and Tiny for years. While much of his TV work is reality TV, cameos where he plays himself, or musical performances, he’s also flexed his acting ability a few times. One of the first ever times was on ATL in 2006. The movie aimed to capture the spirit of Atlanta through both humor and drama, making the rapper one of the perfect choices to star in the film.

But during a podcast appearance earlier this year, he revealed that he was almost fired from the film immediately. The way he tells the story, he received two checks amounting to $15 million which made him less than motivated to go to work on the film. But he reveals that through the near firing, he learned about some of the responsibility being thrust onto him as the main star of the film. During a discussion with the director, he reconsiders all the people on the film who are counting on him to do his job. Check out the multi-layered story he tells in the clip below.

TI On Nearly Getting Fired From “ATL”

Earlier this month, TI reacted to one of the biggest stories coming out of the Grammys. Killer Mike took home a sweep of the rap awards but that wasn’t the news many were focused on. Instead they were talking about videos that hit the internet shortly after. The videos showed Mike being walked out of the ceremony in handcuffs.

TI didn’t mince words when discussing the situation. “It was an atrocity. To be honest with you, Killer Mike going and sweeping the Grammys, winning three Grammys and then getting arrested and going to jail at the same event in the same venue, is the story of the Black man in America,” he explained. What do you think of TI’s story about almost getting fired from ATL after just a few days? Let us know in the comment section below.

Angela Bassett Explains Why She Had No Movies In 1994

by

Angela Bassett had been nominated for the Oscars for the first time in 1993 for the movie What’s Love Got to Do with It. Sadly, she did not win it that time, either. However, she disappeared from the industry until 1995. For years, her fans did not know what had happened during that missing time. They assumed that there was just nothing that had grabbed her interest, after being nominated. However, Bassett has now told us what she was doing.

In an interview reposted by The Jasmine Brand, Bassett explains that the reason she did not appear in any movies for 18 months was not that she was waiting for a lead role or anything. There were just no roles being offered to her. Bassett was not worried about being the lead. Eventually, her next role did show up in May of 1995’s Panther. Afterward, she would continue on to do 3 more movies that year, and do at least 1 movie a year up to the present day. Her most recently released movie is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Where Did Bassett’s Roles Go?

Interestingly, Laurence Fishburne, who was also nominated for the same movie, appears to have been in the same predicament. He did not get another film role until 1995’s Higher Learning. However, it was not as bad for him as it was for Bassett, since he spent the time working on his play, Riff Raff. In addition, Higher Learning, was released in January of 1995, so he was working throughout November-December of 1994.

Hollywood did not decide to just not make black movies for a year. There were a couple, just not very many. The few that were made also generally did not have small budgets. It literally was just a case of there not being enough movies being made for everyone, so the casting directors had free reign to select whoever, and Angela Bassett was just unlucky at being chosen. It also does not help that the majority of her movies at the time were dramas. The only black drama that came out that year was Jason’s Lyric, an erotic romantic drama with a low budget. They would have assumed that Bassett would not accept the role for either of those cases.

Orlando Brown Arrest: Actor Loses Movie Role In Wake Of DV Incident

by

What appears to have been a brief return to the entertainment industry for Orlando Brown has quickly crumbled before him. According to a new report from TMZ, the That’s So Raven alum has been fired from an upcoming film after being arrested for domestic violence earlier this week.

The incident took place on Thursday (December 22). At the time, Ohio police came to help resolve a fight between two men. Since the actor’s arrest, his victim, Matthew Sanders, has spoken out about the situation.

Brown was due to star in a film called Up The Score, which Sanders is directing and producing. He tells the outlet that he wanted the former Disney star to be a part of the project not only due to their friendship but also because the latter believes the former to be “extremely talented.”

The 35-year-old entertainer moved to his director’s home in Lima in November. The film project is currently in preproduction, and won’t begin shooting until the new year. Before this week’s fight, there were apparently no major issues between the two.

Sanders recounting states that Brown “came at him with a broken-off knife blade and a hammer.” Additionally, he notes that he believes his friend is struggling with mental illness. At times, he thinks the California native comes off as “out of touch with reality.” Ultimately, he’s most upset by not helping the child star with his comeback.

In Up The Score, he was due to appear in a secondary role. The film is a dramedy about a military man who, after meeting someone on social media, leaves his family only to fall victim to some serious catfishing.

Presently, Sanders has decided that Brown is no longer allowed to live with him. If he seeks mental health help, a decision to recast him in the movie might be made. However, seeing as filming begins in the near future, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see him appear.
