Why Does Hollywood Keep Casting Chadwick Boseman in Biopics?

Chadwick Boseman has been cast as Thurgood Marshall in an upcoming “courtroom thriller” about the first black Supreme Court justice.

Finally, Angela Bassett Is Here to Save American Horror Story: Hotel
The first half of Wednesday’s episode of American Horror Story: Hotel was meandering and a bit slow, though it did properly and definitively identify lavender as the devil’s scent.

The Flowers, Fowl Feathers and Fierce Frippery of the Kentucky Derby
It rained Saturday during the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, and the inclement weather meant a lot of the hats were kept under wraps. That said, some VIP managed to don fine spring fashions and elaborate hats, in keeping with tradition.
