"Harlem," the vibrant series following four flawed and fabulous Black women tearing up Upper Manhattan, exalts female friendship above all else. It is the foundation of every win and safe landing after every loss. So it makes sense that to secure her leading role in the Prime Video show, actress Meagan Good leaned heavily on her own council of women. "The first thing I did was call Grace because I heard that she had gotten Quinn," said Good, referring to her friend and eventual co-star Grace Byers, whose response was "Don't tell me you're coming in for Camille!" The pair ran lines together. The second number she dialed belonged to actress Regina Hall, with whom Good appeared in the rom-com "Think Like a Man" and its sequel "Think Like a Man Too." Good, who was cast as the sexy girlfriend for the early part of her 30-plus year career, wanted Hall - largely regarded as the crème de la crème of comedic actresses - to lend her expertise. "First of all, girl, you got this," Hall … [Read more...] about Meagan Good didn’t make it to ‘Harlem’ alone

As the FIA officially open applications for new F1 teams, Mario Andretti says Andretti Global have done “everything that was asked of us”. It has been almost a full year since Michael Andretti announced he had applied for the 11th spot on the Formula 1 grid under the Andretti Global name. With plans to build a state-of-the-art factory in Indianapolis and set up another base in England, Andretti also secured a deal with an engine supplier. But, almost 12 months on, his efforts have been blocked by opposition from the existing teams who fear the dilution of the prize money could hurt them. He simply says that’s “greed”. He does have one person in his corner, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem who says he was the one who urged Andretti to sign a manufacturer, the American announcing a link up with Cadillac earlier this month. As news broke of the FIA officially opening the application process, although with a few new criteria, Mario Andretti says they have done “everything” … [Read more...] about Andretti: We’re not asking for any favours, we’re bringing something to the party

As Scuderia Ferrari prepares to head into its 73rd full world championship campaign in 2023, it does so under new leadership. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Following the collapse of their 2022 campaign which began so promisingly with two wins from the opening three rounds, Mattia Binotto resigned as the team’s leader at the end of the year. The decision ensured that Ferrari would enter 2023 with their fifth team principal in the last nine seasons, following Stefano Domenicali, Marco Mattiacci, Maurizio Arrivabene and Binotto. However, rather than hire from within their F1 team’s own ranks like Domenicali and Binotto or pick an executive from outside the Scuderia but still under the Ferrari umbrella, like Mattiacci, Ferrari has instead drafted in an experienced team principal from outside the team in the form of Frederic Vasseur. Ferrari’s last such appointment, Jean Todt, was their most successful team principal by far . Vasseur has a strong … [Read more...] about Poll: Are Ferrari right to replace Binotto with Vasseur? · RaceFans

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 DALLAS (AP) — Texas high school quarterbacks guru Todd Dodge got what he wanted when Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts of Philadelphia won their conference championship games. “I really like Joe Burrow,” Dodge said with a chuckle in reference to Cincinnati's star quarterback, “but I'm not going to root for Joe Burrow over Patrick Mahomes, that Texas quarterback.” The Mahomes-Hurts matchup is the first showdown between a pair of Texas high school signal QBs and the latest milestone for a football-crazy state once known much more for Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson than whoever was handing off to those future Pro Football Hall of Fame running backs. Dodge, a recently retired high school coach who won seven state championships, played a big role in the start of the transformation around 1980. He was the quarterback for what he considered the father of … [Read more...] about Mahomes-Hurts matchup rep Texas prep QBs on Super Bowl stage

Introducing a green Red Bull as it was dubbed at the Spanish Grand Prix, Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack says they “anticipated” accusations of copying – but that there was never a “war of words” with Red Bull. Aston Martin raised eyebrows at the Barcelona race when they hit the track in their upgraded AMR22, the revised car showing a resemblance to the race-winning Red Bull RB18. Team boss Christian Horner told the media it was “no coincidence” the AMR22 resembled the RB18 given Aston Martin had employed several former Red Bull personnel, including technical director Dan Fallows. He added that while “what they take in their head, that’s fair game, that’s their knowledge, what isn’t fair and what is totally unacceptable, which we wouldn’t accept, is if there has been any transfer of IP at all.” Nothing, though, came of that with chief technical officer Andy Green saying: “The FIA came in and did a thorough investigation, examined all the data leading up in the history of … [Read more...] about Aston Martin: ‘No war of words from our side’ over Red Bull copying allegations
