Hooray for Spike Lee, First Black Jury President of the Cannes Film Festival: Cannes Does the Right...
By Entertainer"The Lee family sincerely thanks the Festival de Cannes, Pierre Lescure and Thierry Frémaux and the great people of France who have supported my film career throughout four decades.

By EntertainerAt the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice in New York City on January 31st, Ursula Burns, retired Xerox CEO and current VEON CEO, presented a check for one million dollars to visionary attorney, Julieanna Richardson, Founder and...Saint Frances
By EntertainerThere's an extremely eccentric movie going on within the conventional confines of "Saint Frances." For me, one of the signs of adulthood is when you realize that nobody has things figured out. Even the most put-together person has demons, weak...The Jesus Rolls
