A new movie with an all-star cast is coming to Lifetime. Whoopi Goldberg, Tichina Arnold, Mekhi Phifer and more will star in the tv movie A Day Late & A Dollar Short. And Nicki Minaj’s mother is trying her hand at singing gospel when you go inside…
Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Whoopi Goldberg and Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames will lead the cast of a new Lifetime original movie titled A Day Late And A Dollar Short.
Tichina Arnold (Everybody Hates Chris), Kimberly Elise (Diary of a Mad Black Woman), Mekhi Phifer (Dawn of the Dead), and Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls) will join Whoopi and Ving for the adaptation of author Terry McMillan’s New York Times bestseller.
The flick will explore the importance of family and forgiveness as a sickly mother tries to help her dysfunctional family through life’s ups and downs. Teen pregnancy, sibling rivalry and drug addiction are some of the issues the mother must overcome to bring her family together.
Mekhi, Tichina and Candian actor Lyriq Bent have already shared lots of pics from the set.
Ving Rhames will play the father and husband of Whoopi's character in the movie.
And it looks like they cut up on the set. Tichina Instagram'd, "Me & #whoopigoldberg goofin off after a scene in her new flick..and I thought I was a nut. She got me beat. Lmao!" Ha!
The Lifetime movie is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, April 19, at 8pm ET/PT. Will you be watching?
Speaking of mothers…
Nicki Minaj’s mother Carol Maraj (Nicki's government name is Onika Maraj) has released a snippet of her new gospel track titled “God’s Been Good.”
The super star’s mother is singing in a different lane than her “Lookin’ A** N****” rapping daughter. Carol is singing praises to God over an up-tempo beat singing, “God’s been good and always been good say yea”
No word on if she will be releasing a full gospel album but she assured fans she will be releasing her new track on iTunes soon.
Take a listen to Mama Maraj’s gospel song below:
