The Weekend 🫖 Party w/ :

The brothers of The Best Man cast—Harold Perrineau, Morris Chestnut, and Taye Diggs—along with director Malcolm D. Lee, have reunited for an exciting new venture: Sable Bourbon. This premium spirit is inspired by their enduring brotherhood and long-standing collaboration both on and off screen.

Sable Bourbon is crafted with a blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, offering complex notes of burnt sugar, mocha, and fudge.

Perrineau, the mastermind behind this idea, saw a unique opportunity to create something meaningful with his castmates. He describes it as “BLACK AND CLASSY,” from the bottle’s sleek design to the smooth, unforgettable first sip.

This holiday season, will you be gifting Sable Bourbon to the bourbon lovers in your life?

Weekend 🫖 Party w/ :

From the Supreme Court to center stage, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made history as the first member of the nation’s highest court to appear in the Tony-nominated romantic comedy musical & Juliet. This modern reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet explores what might have happened if Juliet continued her life after Romeo.

Justice Jackson took on a one-night-only walk-on role last week, showcasing her love for theater, which she has cherished for many years. In an interview with CBS Mornings, she shared, “I think it’s very important to remind people that justices are human beings, we have dreams, and that we are public servants who can do both.”

Justice Jackson not only made history as the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court but also as the first Supreme Court justice to grace a Broadway stage. In her recent memoir, Lovely One, she revealed that performing on Broadway was a lifelong dream come true.

And that she did. Mission accomplished ✅

Stephen A. Smith recently spoke with Cam'ron on Cam's Talk With Flee podcast and opened up about his inability to be faithful due to how much he travels with his job,

“It is the reason why I've never been married," he told Cam'ron. "Because I was on the road 200 days out of the year, and the fact of the matter is at that time it was no way in hell I was going to be faithful. I knew that, so why the hell am I going to sit up there and violate my marital vows knowing ahead of time I ain't going to honor them?"

Stephen A. has openly shared the realities of his demanding career and the toll it has taken on his personal life.

Ambition has its costs, and for Stephen A., it meant prioritizing his work over marriage and family.
