50 Cent Gets Big Dollars to Keep Power at Starz
Well, I guess all you fans of the hit television show Power will have to keep that Starz subscription a little bit longer, because according to 50 Cent, the network just cut him a check so, so big, it gave him the shakes, ensuring that Ghost and … ummm … the rest of the characters…

50 Cent Urges Fans to Cut the Cord With Starz, Takes His New Show to BET
Rapper and producer 50 Cent, who doesn’t seem to function without having some sort of beef with someone, is at it with Starz this time. In response to the supposed disrespect that he has received from the network regarding Power, the show he executive-produces, Fiddy took to social media Sunday, according to the Jasmine Brand,…

Issa Didn’t Cheat on Lawrence in Real Life, and Angela Valdes Didn’t Snitch on Ghost. So Stop Sending the Actors Hate Mail
I hate Tariq St. Patrick and want him to die already. After four seasons of watching him behave like an ungrateful, bitchy, ho-ass child (minors can get cursed at after they hit puberty), any Power scene featuring him now physically angers me. Not even Assistant U.S. Attorney Angela Valdes has had that impact on me,…

Watch: Is Power Better TV Than Game of Thrones?
There’s just something about the Starz TV drama Power that sticks to your ribs. It could be the beautiful cast (minus Angela—we hate her). Or the talented cameo stars (rest in peace, Charlie Murphy). Or our collective love of hate-watching little Tariq, who could be the worst son in the history of TV sons. Whatever…

We Hate What You Love: GMG Staffers Reveal Their ‘Unpopular Opinions’ on Your Fave TV Shows
This is Unpopular Opinions, a weekly romp through our staff’s personal Slack conversations that boldly reveal scandalous opinions that many would deem unpopular. So, basically, it’s a conversation that proclaims: We schaid what we schaid. It all started in a Slack conversation. Someone (who wishes to remain nameless) from our Jezebel family admitted: “I have…

I Love Starz’s Power, but I Hate All of These Characters
Very few shows can entice me to spend more money on what already feels like an oppressive cable bill. However, when the press connect does not come through, I will circle back to Showtime in order to get my Homeland fix. But honestly (truly), no show really makes me hit “order” as fast as Starz’s…

Angela Valdes Gotta Go. Along With Everybody Else But Tasha and Tommy. Kthxbi.
Do you watch Power? I watch Power. I hate Angela Valdes. She must be stopped. She must die. I didn’t always feel this way about Assistant United States Attorney Angela Valdes. Before I wanted her to die, I was rather okay with her morally bankrupt homewrecker role on the show. See, Ghost, or Jamie (St. Patrick)…

Get Yourself a Friend Like Rod: The Top 8 Ride-or-Die Friends on Black TV
The movie Get Out will make you re-evaluate your life choices: whom you date, what kinds of dinner invitations from white people you’ll accept, and your friendships. Definitely your friendships. Because if there is one shining moment in the disturbing horror that is Get Out, it’s Chris’ ever-present, ever-woke, ever-common-sense-spouting best friend, Rod Williams of…

Finding the Power in Black Voices
This traumatic election year has brought America’s long-standing violence toward black people to the fore. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s explicit racism—and the thousands of people who want to give him the highest seat in the land—boldly underscores America’s investment in white supremacy and oppression. Things could get worse. But I also have to hope…
