    If D Major looks familiar it’s because Tobias Truvillion played Vincent Jones on One Life to Live.  The actor now plays Jamal Lyon’s newest love interest.

    Many Empire fans were hoping that Jamal and Michael would get back together after they reunited on the show’s last episode.  Rest assured Empire fans, we are almost positive that Michael will reappear.  We thought Little Lola was done for good but who can forget Thirsty yanking out a piece of her hair an episode ago!

    Jamal is all about Freedom these days so he will certainly experience difficulties in his new relationship.  If you thought Hakeem and Laura’s relationship went fast you haven’t seen anything yet!

    We hardly recognized Tobias before his tongue was down Jussie throat! Jamal’s lifestyle is starting to become as messy as Hakeem’s!  Jamal may not have a baby mama and a wifey but he is always in a relationship surrounded by drama.
    From Michael to Ryan to D Major.  Did we forget Olivia and Skye!? Check out Empire’s Season 2 episode 17 promo for the show’s “Rise by Sin” episode:
    Amy Mistretta reports that Tobias is building momentum and recently proclaimed that he’s still in the game.  As explained above, undercover and Empire simply don’t get along.  Cookie and Lucious don’t play secrets.  From Frank Gathers to Leah Walker, it’s only a matter of time before D Major’s tea is spilled!

    Lucious’ real name is Dwight and there is something significant about it unfolding in every episode of the show.  Every time she calls Lucious “Dwight”, he corrects her yet she continues to make the mistake.

    In the show’s first season, Lucious came clean about his real name, “Dwight Walker”.  When his mother is around he refused to accept the name.
    Walker is responsible for the song “Chasing The Sky” which has been called the Lyon family anthem.  When Lucious introduces the track to his family he explains that he wants honesty.  
    Hakeem couldn’t wait to share his feelings on the verse and Jamal provided his beautiful vocals.  For those who had any doubts about Terrence Howard’s voice, need he say more?
    Although he is not featured on the song, Andre Lyon sums up how special the track is when he introduces it.  Cookie and Lucious’ oldest son explains that family may not be perfect but it’s all we got.
    Another Wednesday, another great episode of the show! Mashable reports that the hip-hop series is affecting the TV business in more ways than we realize.  The show has been highlighting diversity behind-the-scenes.

    When I saw him(A poem about Jussie) By:Lynn B. Perry

    When I saw him

        By: Lynn B.Perry

        11/18/2015

     

     

       When I saw him

       I saw myself

      He was the
    manifestation of my dreams

      The way maker upon
    Earth I prayed for

      With his words   ,he
    washed away the sting of Hatred

      With his actions, he
    awakened and re-ignited the dreams

      In me

      And with every note
    and every step of his dance he brought

      Me joy

      With his smile, he
    soothed me

      With his march and
    the raise of his fist in Black Power

      In love

      In equality

      He opened doors for
    me

      His skin was red

      His aura was golden

      His dimples indented
    beauty

      Voice of the clouds

      Notes of an angel

      As I looked upon the
    earth I could find no other nor did

      I want to

     For he’d ushered in
    the change I wanted to see

     He reinvigorated me

     The essence returned
    for he was a reflection and

     Part of like soul
    frequency

     Familiar sphere

     And I could not nor
    cared to look at another

     In friendship

     In brotherhood

     In like cause

     In like mindedness

    Blac Chyna posted a pic of an iPad on IG…no big deal, right? Wrong, in the world of the Kardashians.  The iPad was a gift from Rob to Blac Chyna (Angela Renee White) but she didn’t know that the device was actually the same iPad that Kendall gave Rob for his birthday.

    Khloe Kardashian was pissed, and ended up kicking Rob out her house.  Khloe doesn’t have a good relationship with Amber Rose, one of Angela’s best friends.

    The following clip shows that Kendall Jenner was very upset after finding out that Rob gave his new love interest the device:

    Khloe makes it clear that she is fed up.  People reported on their Twitter feud last year.  It all started after Angela’s former man, Tyga, denied his relationship with Kylie on Power 105.1.  Kylie was 17 at the time and Tyga went out of his way to explain that he didn’t leave Angela and his son to be with Kylie.

    Rose calls Kylie a baby and advises her to relax.  Khloe then calls Amber out for being a stripper when she was a teenager and the Twitter war was on! 
    Will Rob and Angela last? Is she with him for the fame? Is she a gold digger?

    What Does Views Mean On Instagram?
    Instagram continues to implement its changes.  The app recently announced that it will count video views, enabling users to see the number of people who have viewed their content.  It all started with likes, and now it transitioning to views on IG.
    The company made the change official via their account, using the following video:
    Starting this week, you’ll begin to see how many times people have watched a video on Instagram. Views are the most widely expected form of feedback on video. That’s why you’ll begin to see view counts underneath videos where before you’d normally see likes. You’ll be able to see likes by tapping “views.” Since launching video two years ago and introducing Hyperlapse and Boomerang, you’ve made video storytelling on Instagram take off. Whether sitting front row at Fashion Week or spending a day on the beach, nothing brings moments to life like video. Adding view counts is the first of many ways you’ll see video on Instagram get better this year. To learn more about video view counts on Instagram, visit help.instagram.com. Video view counts are available as part of Instagram version 7.16 on iOS and Android.

    For companies looking for feedback on their video content, what could be more telling than a video’s view count.  This will enable companies to determine what needs to be improved in their marketing efforts.  Is it that there are not enough people actually watching the videos or is it the content in the videos?

    Instagram’s official site reports that video storytelling remains popular on the app thanks to additions like Hyperlapse and Boomerang.

    We recently told you about unseen post and the blue dot on Instagram.  The New York Times reported that the photo-sharing service is testing a new algorithm-based feed for users.

    Daily Mail reports that him and the ex-EastEnders actress had a long relationship that ended naturally.  Mulhern is private about the relationship and won’t share what happened.  Considering his past relationship with Barton, we don’t think he’s gay.

    The following video shows Mulhern speak with Jules and Matisse on Britain’s Got More Talent:
    Mirror reports that Amanda Holden threw water on Mulhern after he compared her to plastic surgery super-fan Jocelyn Wildenstein.
    In an interview with ITV, Stephen reveals that he was once scared of Simon.  Simon has an aura around him and he commands attention.  Over the years, Mulhern has become more comfortable with Simon and he now feels like he can rely on him for support.
    The following video shows him channeling 1D in the first look at the show’s 2016 season:
    Mulhern was born on April 4, 1977 and is the third of his parents four children.  Mulhern’s parents are Irish and they both worked as market traders.  His interest in magic came from his father who would teach him tricks when he was younger.
