Marvin Sapp & Dr. La’Boris Cole Tie The Knot In Stunning Ceremony

According to Essence, Marvin Sapp and La’Boris Cole made it official at The Chosen Vessel Church on March 20. Marvin came through with not one, but two suits for the big day. He rocked a classic black tuxedo for the ceremony and later changed into a navy blue suit. La’Boris shut it DOWN in a strapless, floor-length white gown with a dramatic train, giving very much Queen energy! The reception seemed to be an all-black affair. Pictures showed Marvin turning up on the dance floor while guests cheesed hard in their all-black fits.

From Love To “I Do”: How Marvin & La’Boris Found Their Way To Forever

Back in February, Marvin Sapp spoke with Essence and kept it real about how he managed to pop the question to La’Boris Cole after years of friendship. The Gospel Python turned her birthday celebration into a full-on surprise proposal. La’Boris thought the night was going to be focused on birthday festivities, but Marvin had other plans. He turned her big day into a family moment, with loved ones ready to watch him drop to one knee and ask for her hand in marriage. Although they ended up tying the knot just about a month later, the couple never shared details on their ceremony plans.

Marvin also shared that he and La’Boris had been friends for over a decade before they decided to take things to the next level. He took his time getting back outside after losing his wife, MaLinda Prince Sapp, to colon cancer in 2010. After her passing, he focused on navigating life as a widower and raising his three kids.

Dr. La’Boris Cole might be Marvin Sapp’s Queen now, but she’s also a therapist and ministry leader. She built and runs the Born 2 Danz Worship Art Conference and leads Cole Associates & Counselors of Texas, her very own behavioral health practice.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum Jen Shah is peeling back the curtain on her life under home confinement after being released from prison.

“I’m on home confinement until August, or possibly a little bit before that,” Shah, 52, revealed in an interview with People published on Friday, April 3. “You still get to go out; you can request to go out for employment reasons, for work, religious needs — whatever you need to do based on your security level. But everything you do has to be approved.”

The former Bravo star revealed that she can even run errands to places like Target. At the same time, she must wear an ankle monitor that knows when she leaves her residence and comes back.

“I can go to Target. It’s called hygiene passes,” she shared. “You get to go to the store and Target or different places like that to do your shopping and take care of things.”

Jen Shah dropped some surprising bombshells about her marriage, life behind bars and more in her first interview since being released from prison. “I was wrong,” Shah, 52, told People on Wednesday, April 1, about what led to her 33-month prison sentence. “I made wrong decisions. I should have done things differently. I should have been […]

Shah was sentenced in 2023 to prison for her role in a yearslong telemarketing scheme that the government said defrauded innocent people across the country. After serving less than three years at a federal prison camp in Texas, Shah was released in December 2025.

When asked how she is making money after prison, Shah said she is working on many different projects and “looking at different opportunities in the media and entertainment industry.”

“I still have a lot to say, so whether that’s in a book, on a podcast — there’s lots of options,” she explained. “And I really want to create a fictional musical about life in a woman’s prison. I think it would be a great Broadway show.”

As she works to pay back more than $6.6 million in restitution, Shah is quick to say she was “wrong” and “should have done things differently.”

Moving forward, she hopes to spread some positivity and use her fame for good.

“I found my way of healing through service there, so I want to continue to do advocacy work,” she explained. “That’s something I’m passionate about, especially when it comes to the children of incarcerated women, who are often left alone when their mothers are taken away from them.”

As for a possible return to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Shah believes in never say never. After Andy Cohen’s strong comments that it likely won’t happen, the Utah resident isn’t focused on it.

“I appreciate the show and the time I had on it, because it did afford me a platform that I wasn’t able to have before,” she said. “I guess right now at this time, anything is possible. All I can say is, whatever I decide to work on moving forward has to align with my values and my family. I wasn’t good at setting boundaries before, but I’m much better at those now and there are things that I will accept and not accept.”

Succession star Brian Cox shared his unfiltered thoughts on Margot Robbie and other celebrities in a scathing new interview.

“Margot Robbie is far too beautiful for that role in [Wuthering Heights],” Cox, 79, told The Times in an interview published on Friday, April 3. “I mean, I think there should be something more of the Gypsy about her, but it’s wrong of me to judge. It may be a brilliant film.”

Robbie, 35, stars opposite Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, respectively, in the adaptation of Emily Brontë’s famous novel. Both the Barbie actress, who was also a producer on the film, and Elordi, 28, previously received backlash for their casting, as fans argued that they did not match the physical descriptions of their characters. (Both Catherine and Heathcliff are meant to be teenagers in the novel.)

Cox also mocked Robbie’s Australian accent while discussing the role, quipping, “ ‘Keith Cliff! It’s me, Cathy!’ ‘How ya doing, Keith? Awright?’ ‘Yeah, I’m awright!’ ”

Related: Jeremy Strong Seemingly Claps Back at Costar Critiques of His Method Acting

Jeremy Strong is subtly weighing in on his former Succession costars poking fun at his method acting. The actor, 46, elaborated on his process while discussing his role as Roy Cohn in The Apprentice film, telling Deadline on Tuesday, January 7, “When I look at the kind of transformational work based on historical characters that […]

Elsewhere in the interview, Cox took aim at President Donald Trump.

“Trump doesn’t give a s*** about the people. He’s only interested in the oil [in Iran]. There’s just sheer f***g greed motivating him, nothing else. The idea he’s liberating people is nonsense,” he said.

The Times article also included previous quotes on Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp and Edward Norton, which Cox’s reps clarified to Us Weekly were from his 2022 autobiography, Putting the Rabbit in the Hat.

In his memoir, Cox described Tarantino’s work as “meretricious” — defined as “apparently attractive but having in reality no value or integrity.”

In his interview with The Times, Cox further said of the 63-year-old director, “[When directing] I like to honor the actor’s performance. With a Quentin Tarantino film, what you see is all Quentin Tarantino. That’s not me. I don’t want to do that.”

Cox also wrote in his memoir that Spacey, 66 — his costar in the 1994 film Iron Will — is a “stupid, stupid man.”

In the book, Cox wrote that he turned down a role in Pirates of the Caribbean because he didn’t want to work with Depp, 62, calling the actor “so overblown, so overrated.” (He later admitted that he “regretted” making the comment about Depp and “was just being harsh.”)

Meanwhile, he called Norton, 56, “a pain in the arse.” (Cox and Norton costarred in the 2002 drama 25th Hour, directed by Spike Lee.)

Cox has made headlines for years with his candid assessments of fellow Hollywood stars. Back in 2024, he slammed Joaquin Phoenix’s performance in Napoleon, calling it “truly terrible.” He has also frequently spoken out against “f***ing annoying” method acting, particularly when done by Succession costar Jeremy Strong.

Cox was again asked about Strong, 47, in his interview with The Times.

“I don’t want to go on about Jeremy, because I’ve got into a lot of problems and he’s begged me to stop talking about him. He’s a good actor, Jeremy,” Cox told the outlet.

When asked by the outlet if his opinions on Hollywood talent have cost him anything, Cox responded, “Well, I don’t know yet if it’s caused me problems. I mean, my wife [Nicole Ansari-Cox] keeps saying, ‘Brian, be careful. Brian, be careful.’ I think, ‘F*** it, I don’t want to be careful anymore! I’ll be 80 this year. F*** I’m gonna say what I want to say.’”

With the state of streaming right now, there are constant shows being dropped — some that slip by quietly, and others that arrive with a big splash and only get bigger. That’s exactly what happened last year when The Perfect Couple debuted on Netflix. The six-episode crime drama had all the markings of a late-summer obsession: a stacked cast, a glossy “beach read” adaptation, and a murder mystery baked into the lives of the ultra-wealthy. It’s the kind of show that feels engineered for a weekend binge, but somehow works even better when you knock it out in one sitting.

And while The Perfect Couple doesn’t completely reinvent the genre, that’s not really the point. This is a comfort-viewing mystery at its best, leaning into familiar tropes while elevating them through performance and style. Even when the twists feel slightly telegraphed, the show remains undeniably watchable, anchored by a cast and creative team that know exactly how to navigate its mix of melodrama and suspense.

What Is Netflix’s Mystery Series ‘The Perfect Couple’ About?

Set against the wealthy, beachfront backdrop of Nantucket, The Perfect Couple is a classic whodunit filled with complex characters and tangled relationships. The series kicks off with what should be a lavish wedding weekend, only for everything to unravel when a body turns up just hours before the ceremony. From that moment on, every member of the wedding party becomes a suspect, and the glossy facade of this seemingly perfect family begins to crack.

The story centers on Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), a famous novelist whose carefully curated life is suddenly thrown into chaos. She and her husband Tag (Liev Schreiber) appear to have a storybook marriage, but beneath the surface lies tension and secrets that quickly come to light. As investigators dig deeper and family members begin turning on one another, long-held secrets and interpersonal fractures emerge, transforming what should have been a celebration into something far more volatile.

Surrounding them is an ensemble that includes standout performances from Eve Hewson, Meghann Fahy, and Dakota Fanning, each bringing a distinct energy to characters who are as flawed as they are fascinating. Based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand, the series stays true to the spirit of its source material while making key changes — including a different ending from the book — to better suit television. With all six episodes directed by Susanne Bier, the show maintains a consistent visual and tonal identity, balancing sun-drenched luxury with a creeping sense of unease. Even when some of the narrative beats feel familiar, the pacing makes it incredibly easy to binge in one sitting, elevated by performances that are stronger than the material itself.

‘The Perfect Couple’s Performances Make the Netflix Series So Addictive

What ultimately elevates The Perfect Couple beyond its predictable edges is the strength of its performances. Nicole Kidman, who also serves as a producer, is particularly compelling as Greer, a woman who has spent years controlling her narrative, only to watch that control slip away in increasingly public ways. It’s a performance that blends vulnerability with calculation, making Greer as frustrating as she is fascinating — a space Kidman has come to own in her TV work.

Liev Schreiber is just as strong as Tag, balancing an easygoing charm with something far more unsettling beneath the surface. The ensemble around them adds depth, especially Eve Hewson as Amelia, the outsider marrying into the family, and Dakota Fanning as Abby, who brings a sharper, more calculating edge. Hewson, in particular, serves as the emotional anchor, grounding the series even as the drama escalates. Together, the cast creates a dynamic that keeps the show engaging, even when the mystery itself starts to feel secondary.

That engagement translated into massive viewership, with The Perfect Couple becoming one of Netflix’s biggest hits and racking up billions of minutes watched. Its success has already led to a continuation, with a second season announced as an anthology inspired by Elin Hilderbrand’s 2024 novel Swan Song, centered on a new wealthy family. Even if the series doesn’t break new ground, it doesn’t need to. With a compelling cast, a polished aesthetic and just enough twists to keep you hooked, it delivers exactly what it promises and is an entertaining mystery that’s almost impossible not to finish in one night.

Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker‘s close red carpet appearance has sparked widespread speculation, with insiders claiming it has unsettled both their inner circles.

Reports suggest the actress’s ex-husband, Keith Urban, is questioning their bond, while Baker’s ex-wife, Rebecca Rigg, is said to be surprised by the rumors.

As the rumors intensify, neither Nicole Kidman nor Simon Baker publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.

Keith Urban Reportedly Upset Over Nicole Kidman And Simon Baker’s Cozy Red Carpet Appearance

Kidman and Baker’s affectionate red carpet appearance is said to be stirring tension, with sources claiming it has unsettled the actress’s ex-husband, country music star Keith Urban.

“Keith can’t believe Simon would do this to him,” an insider told Globe. “He considered him a good friend, and now, everyone’s whispering that he and Nicole are an item. Of course, it feels like a betrayal.”

According to the source, Urban isn’t convinced by explanations that the moment was simply harmless promotion.

Despite being told nothing is going on, the photos, including the pair holding hands and appearing close, have left him uneasy.

“From where he’s standing, it looks like a line has been crossed, whether they admit to it or not,” the insider added.

The Country Star Allegedly Feels The Actress Is ‘Totally Disrespecting Him’

The situation is said to be particularly difficult for Urban, given the public narrative surrounding his past relationship with Kidman.

“He’s had to endure so much negativity directed towards him, and he’s never said a word to defend himself out of respect for Nicole,” the source added.

They continued, “And yet, here she is totally disrespecting him, or at least that’s how he sees it.”

The situation has also reportedly left Urban questioning the true nature of Kidman and Baker’s relationship.

According to an insider, he had always believed the pair were simply “good friends,” but recent events have made him less certain.

Simon Baker’s Ex-Wife Was Reportedly Shocked By His Romance Rumors With Nicole Kidman

Speculation intensified after the “Babygirl” actress, fresh from her divorce, appeared alongside Baker, her longtime friend and “Scarpetta” co-star, at the project’s premiere.

The pair arrived hand-in-hand, posed closely for photos, and were later seen spending time together at an after-party, further fueling rumors about their chemistry.

While some fans have welcomed the possibility of a romance, Baker’s ex-wife, Rigg, is said to have been caught off guard.

Sources claim she was “totally in the dark,” particularly given her continued openness with Baker and her close bond with Kidman, who is godmother to their son, Harry.

Those close to Rigg are also reportedly surprised, with some describing the situation as insensitive given their longstanding personal ties.

“For Nicole to act all coy is really breaking the girl code,” the insider claimed, per New Idea.

Nicole Kidman And Simon Baker Fuel Romance Rumors Amid Strong On-Screen Chemistry

Adding to the speculation, both Kidman and Baker have spoken warmly about each other in recent interviews.

Discussing a scene in “Scarpetta,” Baker admitted their on-screen kiss initially felt “kind of strange,” though he quickly moved past it.

Kidman, however, dismissed any awkwardness, explaining that their long history made their chemistry feel natural and effortless.

“I think because of our history together, that’s in-built, so we didn’t have to work for that, that just vibrates,” she noted, per the Daily Telegraph.

Despite the growing buzz, neither Kidman nor Baker has publicly addressed the rumors. Still, insiders suggest that actress Naomi Watts is quietly supportive of the idea of them becoming more than friends.

According to one source, while their relationship has always been platonic, Baker has long admired Kidman, making the possibility of something deeper unsurprising.

However, Kidman is said to still be processing her recent divorce and may be reluctant to risk a longstanding friendship by pursuing anything romantic.

Nicole Kidman Revealed She Learned To Perform Autopsies For ‘Scarpetta’ Role

Meanwhile, last month during a Monday appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Kidman revealed she picked up an unexpected skill while preparing for her role in “Scarpetta.”

The “Big Little Lies” actress shared that she trained extensively as a medical examiner, even learning how to perform an autopsy.

The 58-year-old explained that she took the role seriously, gaining hands-on knowledge of the process, including identifying and removing organs. She joked that, if necessary, she could carry out the procedure herself.

“I can remove all the organs. I can name them all,” she said, per Fox News.

Kidman also laughed about a moment when Fallon’s team suggested she demonstrate her new skill on the show, an idea that caught the host off guard. She admitted it probably wouldn’t have been the most appealing segment for viewers. “But I can remove the lungs, the liver and the gallbladder, and the intestines,” she added.

Describing the experience as simply “part of the job,” Kidman said she worked closely with a professional medical examiner, studying his techniques to bring authenticity to her role in “Scarpetta.”

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson‘s new movie, The Drama, is facing criticism for its marketing method while hiding the dark twist of the film.

Warning: Spoilers for The Drama below.

The Drama follows engaged couple Charlie (Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), who are gearing up to walk down the aisle. However, days before their nuptials, the pair and a group of friends get together and reveal the worst thing they’ve ever done. While it was teased in the trailer that Emma’s secret causes outrage amongst the group, details are not shared..

After the film hit theaters on Friday, April 3, it was revealed that Emma planned to commit a school shooting as a teenager but ultimately decided not go through with it.

Since details of The Drama’s twist have circulated online, many have condemned the film for its light-hearted and wedding-themed marketing plan, suggesting that the movie should be open and sensitive about the twist.

Zendaya and Pattinson have attended several press events together to speak about the film, in which the actress has worn bridal-themed outfits. For The Drama’s various premieres, she’s debuted looks that represent the timeless practice of something old, borrowed, new and blue for a bride. Both Zendaya and Pattinson have also been asked questions about marriage and weddings in multiple interviews, causing some to feel like the overall tone of the film has been marketed as a straight romance or comedy.

Additional promotional endeavors for The Drama have included a social campaign that used the style of a classic wedding invitation as well as a one-day wedding chapel in Las Vegas back in March.

On Thursday, April 2, gun control advocacy group March for Our Lives slammed The Drama’s marketing plan as the sensitive topic has not been addressed.

“The film may be attempting to engage real questions about accountability and change, but A24’s marketing does not meet it there,” the organization wrote via Instagram. “With a subject this serious, especially in the U.S., that conversation cannot begin and end on screen. It has to carry through in how the film is presented.”

Alyson Michalka and AJ Michalka, who make up the duo Aly and AJ, agreed in the comments section of March for Our Lives’ post. (The sisters survived a mass shooting outside one of their concerts in 2022.)

“Couldn’t agree more,” read a reply from the singers’ joint account. “The marketing made us sick when we found out the plot twist.”

Additional users also slammed The Drama for not being forthcoming about the twist.

“Thank you for this ‘spoiler.’ It is marketed as a cute rom com. I was going to see it. If I had found out this plot point in the theater I would have walked out,” one fan wrote. “This is not casual conversation. Now I will not be going to see this. Do they give any sort of warning about this plot point in [the] opening credits or anything?”

Another person responded, “Bro, it’s about a girl who planned a school shooting? All of the marketing has been like a young adult rom com. Wtf?”

While some fans criticized the movie’s quietness about the plot, others defended it.

“I definitely don’t think it was ever labeled as a romantic rom com. And I also don’t think the plot is not far off from how a lot of kids may have felt/feel,” one user wrote in the comments. “It brings awareness to the societal context we are raising our children in.”

Kim Zolciak has reportedly lost temporary custody of the four children she shares with her estranged ex-husband Kroy Biermann. TMZ reports the former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star must complete therapy sessions before she can see her kids again.

Kim Zolciak Ordered To Complete Therapy Amid Custody Loss

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a Georgia judge told Kim Zolciak that the kids she shares with Kroy Biermann will stay with him from April 3 until she completes four parent therapy sessions. The order also says Kim can reunite with her kids as early as April 13. In his filing, Kroy claimed Kim missed court-ordered therapy sessions and spent two weeks out of the country. He said she only saw their kids one night — and that same night, a dog bit one of their children.

Kim, however, spoke with TMZ and shut those claims down. She said Kroy’s accusations are false and just an attempt to defame her character. The ‘Tardy For The Party’ singer said she spent time away from her kids to film two television shows to help provide for her family.

“I refuse to be bullied or have lies twisted into a narrative about who I am. I will not stay silent, the truth is on my side, and it will come to light—no matter how hard anyone tries to bury it,” Kim said in a statement.

According to Page Six, the new ruling dropped just days after Kroy asked for sole custody, citing Kim’s alleged “mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities.” Kim and Kroy share four children together — Kroy Jr., 14, Kash Kade, 13, and 12-year-old twins, a daughter Kaia Rose and a son, Kane Ren. Kim also two daughters from previous relationships, Brielle Biermann and Arielle Biermann, whom Kroy legally adopted in 2013.

Details On Kim & Kroy’s Divorce

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann filed for divorce in May 2023 and officially listed their separation date as April 30. As The Shade Room previously reported, Kim wrote in her filing that their marriage was “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.” Both of them requested sole physical custody of their kids, and Kroy also asked for sole legal custody. Two months later, in July 2023, the couple decided to work on their marriage instead of going through with their split. TMZ reports that Kim asked the court dismiss her divorce petition. Then in August, 2023, Kroy refiled the petition, per Page Six.

Social Media Weighs In As Kim Temporarily Loses Custody

After The Shade Room shared the news about Kim’s temporary custody loss, the comment section was flooded with reactions. Some folks said they are surprised to see their divorce play out like this, while others said they mostly feel bad for the children. See some of the reactions below.

Instagram user @coleman_312 wrote, ‘We live in a society where moms are losing custody of kids man 💯😭”

Instagram user @vjazmyn_ wrote, “Can’t imagine losing my kids after a divorce and then the whole world knows 😭 Lost your family and everybody know.”

Then Instagram user @lovelyti__ wrote, “chilllleeee I saw this coming 👀 smh Kim should be embarrassed, I’m glad Kroy stepped up and did what needed to be done!” 

Another Instagram user @ tishastratford wrote, “This is the 2nd time their kid has gotten bitten by a dog. One kid is permanently scarred from the attack. What in the world are they doing?!” 

Instagram user @thegeminme wrote, “The divorce been on and off for like 10 yrs…crazy…” 

Then another Instagram user @elh.430 wrote, “I always side with women because I know the fight HOWEVER I believe she was the problem.”

Lastly, Instagram user @makeitmakesensenow wrote, “I honestly feel bad for those kids, both of the parents have a lot of toxicity.”

Stargate SG-1 debuted in 1997, in the shadow of Star Trek literally, as Deep Space Nine and Voyager were airing, and figuratively, as the series had to show how it was different. Both shows use a military structure to support exploring beyond where anyone has gone before, and both use the same sci-fi character archetypes.

However, Star Trek has the Prime Directive that dictates how they are not to interfere with less developed civilizations, and Stargate doesn’t. The SG-1 team made careers out of actively interfering with other planets and cultures. Season 1’s fourth episode, “The Broca Divide,” is an example of why, sometimes, getting involved in other people’s business is the right thing to do. 

Stargate SG-1 Doesn’t Turn A Blind Eye To Injustice

“The Broca Divide” starts off with the team emerging from the stargate into a dark forest where they are quickly attacked by what looks like cavemen. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) spots a normal(ish) looking human woman with them, prompting Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) to theorize that the cavemen are forcibly breeding. Carter’s reaction is complete disgust about how that’s wrong, and they should put a stop to it. No debate about the evolution of primitive cultures, no questioning the biology of the humanoids, she knows it’s wrong and wants it put to an end. 

Nothing’s ever quite that simple in the world of Stargate SG-1, and the team quickly learns it’s not a primitive caveman society, but a more advanced Bronze Age, city-dwelling society suffering from a disease that devolves them back into their animalistic genetic ancestors. The planet is divided between the “Touched” who suffer from the disease, and the “Untouched,” which fascinates Jackson and Carter, but O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and Teal’c (Christopher Judge) want to bail as soon as they learn the Gou’ald haven’t been there in a generation, if at all. 

Upon returning, General Hammond (Don S. Davis) makes it clear that scientific inquiry has been added to their mission, right before Stargate Command soldiers start to devolve, and it’s clear that the disease impacting the alien planet has come with them. Through some trial and error, Dr. Frasier (Teryl Rothery) figures out the cure is simple antihistamines synthesized into a dart-delivery system. The unaffected of the team go back and cure the Touched, uniting the alien civilization for the first time in generations. 

Two Different Approaches To Exploring The Galaxy

Stargate SG-1 could have ended with the disease being wiped from Cheyenne Mountain, and the alien world being quarantined to progress naturally. If they were bound by anything similar to Star Trek’s Prime Directive, that’s exactly what they would have done. When they first landed on the planet and were referred to as Gods, Jackson commented that they should get used to that. To Starfleet, that’s a violation of the Prime Directive, to the SGC, that’s business as usual. 

The Prime Directive to not interfere with the natural development of a civilization sounds good, but it can also result in turning a blind eye to injustice, disease, and tyranny. While it often exists in Star Trek only to be broken (looking at you, Kirk), it’s satisfying to see the SG-1 team decide to step in, help, and leave worlds better off than they found them. Sometimes. 

Taking a far more proactive approach to spreading peace across the universe helps differentiate Stargate from Star Trek, even today, years after the show’s initial run came to an end. Stargate SG-1 is available to stream on Netflix, and it’s the perfect binge for fans who want to explore the underrated 90s series for either the first or the 20th time.
