Salma Hayek has always believed in her destiny. After becoming a telenovela superstar in her native Mexico, she ditches fame and fortune in her own country, and leaves it behind her for the mere chance of making it in Hollywood. Once she lands in LA, however, it’s clear to her that success in the US will be a challenging, uphill battle. She starts small, and has to navigate the tricky waters of profiling and stereotyping - not to mention a potentially career-derailing experience with Harvey Weinstein. But she endures. And wins. Regardless of what is thrown at this Oscar-nominated actor, one thing is clear - she won’t let anything stand between her and her destiny.

Wendy Williams is back in the spotlight. After a long time out of the public eye, the former Queen of Talk popped onto “The View” to tell everyone “How she’s doin’.” She says her legal guardianship has gotten way outta hand, and she wants OUT! After we catch you up on all things Wendy, we’ve got some new drama between two semi-regulars on “Rich and Weekly” - Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Kanye just dropped a new track featuring their oldest daughter North, and - of all people - Diddy! And now sources are speaking up, saying that this is too far - even for Kanye. They say Kim is seriously thinking about taking steps to strip Kanye of custody of their kids.

Tina Fey sure does wear the (Bossy)pants. As she navigates the treacherous, male dominated waters of the comedy world, Tina quickly ascends up the ranks at the legendary (and notoriously cutthroat) comedy institution, “Saturday Night Live.” But that’s not enough for this self-proclaimed former theater nerd and Sarah Palin lookalike. After reaching a pinnacle that most performers can only dream of, and making history at SNL, she leaves. And follows up her success there with a string of successful TV shows (“30 Rock,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) and movies (“Baby Mama,” “Mean Girls”) that establish her as one of Hollywood’s true comedy forces.

When Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, the media called it a senseless crime. But online, a different story emerged—one of rage, reckoning, and a suspected killer turned folk hero. More than just a true crime podcast, LUIGI, hosted by Jesse Weber, dares to look beyond the crime and the accused to explore a cultural tipping point in America, asking you to decide - is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?

Most people can’t weather the storm that is the music industry. But Stevie Nicks isn't most people. She breaks onto the scene with musical and romantic partner, Lindsey Buckingham. They make beautiful music in and out of the recording studio, and make a life-altering move in 1974 when they join British rock group, Fleetwood Mac. Stevie’s on top of the world as she swaps out tiny gigs in coffee houses for massive concerts in sold-out stadiums. But then, there are legendary clashes within the band - which include her and Lindsay. After a messy breakup - and a string of diss tracks they fire off at each other - Stevie goes solo. And the “Edge of Seventeen” hitmaker proves that thunder really does only happen when it’s raining. And what rains down on her is the devastating loss of her best friend, and a decades-long battle with drugs, which almost kills her. But this ""Queen of Rock 'n Roll"" is still standing, and living her “dreams.”

Richies, we’re coming in hot with 3 new stories! Hollywood’s brightest stars turned up for the 97th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday. But it was Best Actor winner, Adrien Brody, who really stole the show, or maybe we should say...held it hostage. He’s getting crushed online for his nearly six-minute acceptance speech, which most people online are calling “brutal.” Then, “Stranger Things” star Mille Bobby Brown is clapping back at journalists who won’t stop talking about her looks. And closing things out, we dig into all the rumors, speculation, and concern about Justin Bieber’s well-being.

It’s Women’s History Month, Richies! In honor of that, we have the queen herself, Angela Bassett. She’s been setting fire to the silver screen ever since she portrayed Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” But her life - both in front of and behind the camera - has been chock-full of obstacles, disappointments, struggles, and surprises. (Like finding out her boyfriend’s a cheater on national television.) But none of it slows Angela down. With a slew of great film roles - not to mention an Oscar and an Emmy - she’s always proving that Angela Bassett really did do “the thing!”

You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Kenya, Lupita Nyong’o has had what you could call an unconventional life. After experiencing serious political unrest in Nairobi at a very young age, Lupita packs her bags and heads to the Big Apple to pursue her dreams of becoming an actor. Sure, she’s got the skills to make it. But a lot of the time and talent is just not enough. And what Lupita struggles with in Hollywood goes far beyond the trials of most actors-for-hire trying to score their next gig. Lupita wages a far more intense and deeply personal battle - how to maintain her own identity in an industry that wants to put her in a box.

Who’s ready for a double dose of Blake Lively?! Over the weekend, she and hubby Ryan Reynolds appeared on “Saturday Night Live’s” 50th Anniversary Special. And let’s just say…Ryan ruffled some feathers. In a comedy bit during the star-studded show, he made a crack about Blake’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni, and now he’s getting plenty of heat for it. And speaking of Blake’s legal drama - she just amended her complaint against her former “It Ends with Us” director and co-star. And she says she’s not the only woman Justin made uncomfortable on-set, and that they’re willing to talk. And wrapping things up, we’ve got the latest on A$AP Rocky’s huge win in court.
