Streamers Get Steamy as They Lust After Sex-Drenched Fare to Seduce Subscribers
Click here to read the full article. Interior designer Melanie Rose specializes in something very intimate and unique in the home renovation space: She designs sex rooms. Remember Tommy Lee’s dream of a boudoir playground in “Pam & Tommy,” and how the racy redesign led to his sex tape being stolen? That’s what Rose does for a living — well, except she doesn’t steal her clients’ personal belongings. When she’s not planning other folks’ bedrooms, Rose is in her own home writing a series of erotic novels based on that career. It was under the guise of pitching those books as a scripted series that her manager approached Adam Sher, president of ITV America. But Sher had another idea: Why not turn her life and work into a TV-MA-rated reality show?

North Shore Memorial Day Weekend Weather Forecast
Care for your home with 0 Home & Garden If AccuWeather predictions are right, outdoor celebrations may be better earlier rather than later. Tim Moran , Patch Staff Posted Reply If you have a four-day weekend coming up for the Memorial Day holiday, congratulations. You will have two days of nice weather to go with a pair of duds. For those of us with the traditional three-day off period, two-thirds of it is likely to make it bittersweet. The weekend forecast on Chicago’s North Shore calls for sun and warmth on Friday and Saturday and clouds and rain for Sunday and Monday, just in time for when many plan their summer kickoff barbecue parties. According to the AccuWeather forecast for Northfield (a centralized location on the Shore), Friday’s high is 64, but will feel like 72 with a “brilliant sunshine.” It could get partly cloudy and cool at night with a low of 45.

‘Uncoupled’ Star Tisha Campbell Can Laugh About Her Traumatic Breakup… Now
Tisha Campbell has a bruise on her leg. At least, she’s joking that she does. The New York premiere of the Netflix comedy series Uncoupled , in which she co-stars with Neil Patrick Harris , was a few days before, and she had taken her good friend as her date. “She kept squeezing me every time something relatable happened, like from my life,” Campbell tells The Daily Beast’s Obsessed over Zoom. Such enthusiastic violence is welcome in this case, the actress laughs. It means the show was resonating, even if in painful ways—in the case of her thigh, quite literally. Campbell has found that the show seems to be having that effect on a lot of other people too. Fan encounters have started to resemble triage at an Urgent Care center, with people showing off the bruises on their own legs and forearms, inflicted by the friends clenching them in disbelief at how close-to-home the series felt. (Campbell and I bond over the one I also received at that New York premiere, for example.) … [Read more...] about ‘Uncoupled’ Star Tisha Campbell Can Laugh About Her Traumatic Breakup… Now
Oscars producer Will Packer finds fixing Hollywood a never-ending job
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 In "Beast," the Universal Pictures thriller released Friday, Idris Elba plays a father locked in a battle with a rogue lion in South Africa. Every time he thinks he's won, his feline foe comes roaring back. Will Packer, the movie's producer, can relate. The 48-year-old is one of the industry's more prolific filmmakers. Among his hits: the two "Ride Along" pictures, starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, which took in more than $300 million at the box office, and 2017's "Girls Trip," featuring Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish. The top-grossing comedy that year, the film was the first by a Black female screenwriter to take in more than $100 million. But each triumph for diversity in Hollywood seems to come with setbacks as well. Case in point, the Academy Awards in March, where Packer led the first all-Black production team. People of color captured two of the top acting awards, a deaf … [Read more...] about Oscars producer Will Packer finds fixing Hollywood a never-ending job
