Clay Jensen, a shy high school student, returns home from school one day to find that he has received a mysterious package in the mail. It contains seven double-sided cassette tapes used by Hannah Baker, a classmate who has recently committed suicide. Each tape details a reason that she killed herself. The tapes were sent to various other people before arriving at Clay’s door.The first person to receive the tapes was Justin. They kissed once after she developed a crush on him. However, Justin told his friends that they did more than just kiss, which earned Hannah the reputation of a slut at school. The second person to receive them was Alex. Alex violated their friendship when he published a “hot or not” list comparing the girls in their class. He awarded Hannah the title of Best Ass, which only escalated her reputation as a slut. He also awarded his ex-girlfriend Jessica the title of Worst Ass, in revenge for her not having sex with him. The third person was Jessica. After being compared to Hannah on the “hot or not” list, Jessica slapped Hannah and ended their friendship. The slap left a scar on Hannah’s cheek…..

She tells him about the rape, but when she refuses to disclose her rapist’s identity, he tells her that the only option is to “move on” with life. This conversation is related on Hannah’s final recorded tape. She then gives her uniform to Clay at the theatre before going to give the tapes to Tony. Hannah return home, fills her bathtub and uses the razors she stole from her father’s shop to slit her wrists.

BET Awards winners of 2019

Childish Gambino takes home a big award.

On Sunday (June 23), it was announced that Gambino won Video of the Year for his mesmerizing “This Is America” video at the 2019 BET Awards at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theatre.

Directed by his longtime collaborator Hiro Murai, the visual opens with a shocking scene of Gambino shooting a man whose head was covered in a hood. From there, Gambino and several school children continue to dance for the camera while chaos and mayhem erupt behind them. Overall, it’s a jarring work of art that people think highlights a myriad of societal issues including gun violence, police brutality, social-media indulgence and Black rage against injustice.

John Legend performs during a tribute to Nipsey Hussle

 

 

Los Angeles on Sunday night, belonged to the artists viewed as icons in the black community, including singer Mary J Blige, filmmaker Tyler Perry and the late rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey is such an important part of our community, in particular the fact that he focused on servicing his community, staying in his community, and trying to uplift the community he was a part of,” BET Networks President Scott M Mills said.

“We really wanted to recognise him here in LA,” he added.

The Lion King

Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny on the plains of Africa. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother — and former heir to the throne — has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is soon ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. Now, with help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba must figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.

Voice Cast

• Donald Glover as Simba:
  A lion who is the crown prince of the Pride Lands. Glover said “[The Lion King is] a timeless story, but I think the way Favreau has constructed it, it’s a very timely story as well,” and “I just wanted to be a part of a global good.”Glover said that the film will focus more on Simba’s time growing-up than the original film did, stating that “[Jon] was very keen in making sure we saw [Simba’s] transition from boy to man and how hard that can be when there’s been a deep trauma”.
  • JD McCrary as young Simba. McCrary said “Donald Glover is so talented that I actually did have to take it into consideration, because if Simba is going to grow up to be some sort of figure and you know of it, you have to keep that motive.”
• Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, a slow-witted common warthog who befriends and adopts a young Simba after he runs away from home. Rogen said “[a]s an actor, I […] don’t think I’m right for every role — there are a lot of roles I don’t think I’m right for even in movies I’m making — but Pumbaa was one I knew I could do well”.^[2]
• Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar:
  The treacherous brother of Mufasa and the uncle of Simba who seeks to take the mantle of king of the Pride Lands. Ejiofor described Scar as more “psychologically possessed” and “brutalized” than in the original film.^[2] Ejiofor said that “[e]specially with Scar, whether it’s a vocal quality that allows for a certain confidence or a certain aggression, to always know that at the end of it you’re playing somebody who has the capacity to turn everything on its head in a split second with outrageous acts of violence – that can completely change the temperature of a scene”.Ejiofor also said that “[Scar and Mufasa’s] relationship is completely destroyed and brutalized by Scar’s way of thinking. He’s possessed with this disease of his own ego and his own want”.
• Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, the Queen of the Pride Lands, Mufasa’s mate, and Simba’s mother.
• Billy Eichner as Timon:
  A wise-cracking meerkat who befriends and adopts a young Simba after he runs away from home. Eichner said that Timon “[is] such a great role that allows you to do so much. But [he has] learned that the bigger the project and the bigger the names that you’re working with, the more you have to ignore it. If you get to the soundstage and you’re thinking, ‘Oh my God, what a full-circle moment! Nathan Lane did it originally! Beyoncé’s in this!’ then you’re paralyzed creatively. You just have to put that out of your head in order to get the job done”.
• John Kani as Rafiki, a wise mandrill who serves as the shaman of the Pride Lands and a close friend of Mufasa’s.
• John Oliver as Zazu, a red-billed hornbill who is the majordomo to the King of the Pride Lands.
• Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Simba’s childhood best friend and future love-interest. Favreau felt that “part of [her joining the film] is that she’s got young kids, part of it is that it’s a story that feels good for this phase of her life and her career, and she really likes the original very much. And then, of course, there are these wonderful musical numbers that she can be involved with, and my God… she really lives up to her reputation as far as the beauty of her voice and talent”.
  • Shahadi Wright Joseph as young Nala. Joseph reprises her role from the Broadway production.Joseph choose to work on the film because “[she knows] Nala inspires little girls because that happened to [her] when [she] was younger. [Joseph] literally said that [she] wanted to be her. She’s a great role model”. Joseph said that, upon learning that Beyoncé would be voicing the grown-up Nala, she “really had to step [her] game up and think about what Beyoncé would want”.
• James Earl Jones as Mufasa, the King of the Pride Lands and the father of Simba. Jones reprises his role from the original 1994 animated film. According to Favreau, Jones’ lines remain mostly the same from the original film.Ejiofor said that “the comfort of [Jones reprising his role] is going to be very rewarding in taking [the audience] on this journey again. It’s a once-in-a-generation vocal quality”Favreau saw Jones’ return as “carrying the legacy across” the original film and the remake, and felt that his voice’ change in tonality compared to the original film “served the role well because he sounds like a king who’s ruled for a long time”.
• Florence Kasumba, Eric Andre, and Keegan-Michael Key as Shenzi, Azizi and Kamari, three spotted hyenas who are Scar’s henchmen. While Shenzi is a character that was featured in the original 1994 animated film, Kamari and Azizi are the respective renames of Banzai and Ed from the original film. The hyenas’ characterizations were heavily altered from the original film’s, as Favreau felt that they “had to change a lot” to fit the remake’s tone.
• Amy Sedaris as an unspecified elephant shrew, a character not featured in the original film.

Skillet Maple Bacon Cinnamon Roll is an easy to make cinnamon roll skillet cake with maple cream cheese frosting and crumbled bacon. The perfect holiday breakfast!

Author: Alyssa

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2 packages Buttermilk Biscuits (Depending on your size skillet, you may have some leftover)
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Top it off:
• 5 slices Jones Dairy Farm Cherrywood Sliced Bacon
• 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon maple flavored extract

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you don’t have a pre-seasoned skillet, rub about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil on the bottom of the skillet and set aside.
   2. (I used an 8-inch skillet. If you use a bigger one, you will need to adjust the ingredient amounts.)
   3. Remove the biscuits from the packages. Using a rolling pin, roll each of the biscuits very flat and thin.
   4. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, shake off the excess and then dip the biscuit in the cinnamon sugar mixture making sure to cover both sides. Shake off the excess.
   5. Roll up each biscuit and place the rolled up biscuit on the outside of a skillet in a circle fashion spiraling towards the inside of the skillet.
   6. Bake for 18-20 minutes. If the outside is cooking faster than the inside, tent the outer edges with foil.

1. Meanwhile, prepare the bacon. Once cooked, place on a paper towel lined plate and dab off excess grease. Crumble into small pieces.
2. Prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese, and butter until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and extracts and mix until smooth.
3. Remove the cake and let cool for about 5-7 minutes before frosting.
4. Pipe the frosting over the cake and cut into slices to serve.
