Demi chats with Best Man creator Malcolm D Lee and book co-author Jayne Allen about the latest drama with our beloved (fictional) besties, including why we’re so obsessed with these people after 26 years, why Harper won't stop Harper-ing, why Robyn is so damn complicated; why life going left can be a good thing; and how all this makes readers want to throw the book (in a good way).

Magical Negroes, Science Experiments on Black... OMG! The Feds Are Dropping Diddy Charges?!?! (and so, so much more)

Our Legal Bestie Attorney Symone Redwine takes us inside the Diddy courtroom (it’s like watching a Black movie at a Black theatre opening weekend), helps us understand Jane’s scarcity-survival mode and why it's ok (legally) that Diddy is paying for her lawyer, and explains why the Defense is scheduled to rest after just two days. 

Ooh, oh, also(!): the high stakes (production nightmare) of that Tyler Perry lawsuit and how Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy set the stage for it.
