Natalie Dormer as Vivien Leigh Natalie Dormer is getting ready to paint Hollywood scarlet. The British actress announced on Friday that she is producing and developing a series (alongside Fremantle Media and Mainstreet Pictures) in which she'll portray and explore the life story of British actress Vivien Leigh. There's been no shortage of films and TV shows that delve into the films and history of Golden Age Hollywood, but this project, which is aiming to focus on different projects in Leigh's career in each episode, will boast a lot of famous faces -- from Leigh's husband of 20 years, Laurence Olivier, to co-stars ranging from Marlon Brando to Clark Gable to Warren Beatty. Frankly, my dear, we do give a damn about getting this right -- so, here's our dream cast envisioning who we'd like to see bring these luminaries to life.

Cormoran President Azali Assoumani at his inauguration in May 2016. Critics say the former colonel is trying to undermine democracy The Comoros islands boasts dramatic volcanic landscapes, ylang-ylang essential oils and picture-perfect beaches, but beneath this idyllic image, a complex political crisis is worsening. At its heart is President Azali Assoumani, facing a mounting chorus from critics who describe him as bent on enshrining himself in power and destroying democracy. The Constitutional Court has been suspended, demonstrations outlawed and one of Azali's leading critics, former president Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, has been placed under house arrest. A referendum on a package of so-far unconfirmed constitutional changes is due on July 29. Azali has also indicated he will call elections next year, which could enable him to remain in office beyond 2021, when his currently non-renewable term expires. "It's a constitutional coup d'etat," said Youssouf Boina, head

Catholic Priests of West Africa, CPWA, have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to prove that he is competent for a second term in office, by stopping the ongoing killings in Nigeria by killer herdsmen and other violent groups attacking churches, kidnapping travelers in various parts of Nigeria or drop the second term bid.

Addressing newsmen in Alor, Idemili South Local Government of Anambra State, President of CPWA, Rev. Fr.

Negotiations to update the North American Free Trade Agreement have stalled as Canada and Mexico try to digest U.S. demands for major changes. U.S. officials have said some kind of a deal is needed in the next few weeks to prevent the negotiations spilling into campaigns for a Mexican presidential vote on July 1 and mid-term elections for the U.S. Congress in November. Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said she had spoken on Monday with her counterparts driving the file - U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo - and they had agreed to meet if necessary. “That was one of the things we talked about yesterday — all of us are able to get on a plane and meet at the moment when that could bounce the negotiations (forwards). So we are in very close, I would say constant, touch,” she told reporters. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Monday said major issues remained between the NAFTA nations.

After taking to the airspace to brag about being the youngest Nigerian to purchase a private jet, fans dug deep to find out the authenticity of Davido’s claim and it was found that he doesn’t independently own the private jet. According to TheCapital.ng, the Assurance singer only had a meager contribution in possessing the jet. They further revealed that the singer had some big players behind him who would rather let him shine while they watch back-stage and make a fortune off the deals that come his way on account of the private jet which will surely aid his show business. But now, Davido has reacted to the rumors by claiming he has 100 percent ownership of the jet. In his words; “Lol owned 100 percent, my friend.” The singer went ahead to say that he doesn’t understand why people would think he can come out to claim to have bought a $25m jet when he didn’t do so. He basically tagged the news as “false.” Even at that, fans still have a hard time believing that the news about h

The chief creative officer went on a six-month sabbatical starting last November after being accused of sexual misconduct and unwanted physical contact.

It's been decades since Whiney Houston and Paula Abdul were at the top of the charts in the same year, but thanks to a new documentary slated for debut next month, we're gaining some new insight into exactly what Houston thought about the fellow multi-hyphenate. In a newly released trailer for the film, Whitney, set to hit theaters on July 6, Houston is venting to her mother about the difficulties of fame and her career when she mentions Abdul. "One thing—Paula Abdul ain't shit. That girl is singing off-key on the record." While it's unclear when the footage was taken, the no holds barred trailer alludes to family drama, her rumored relationship with Robyn Crawford, Houston's addictions and her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown. "Bobby was jealous," an interviewee says over footage. "His heart was he wanted to be on the stage, he wanted to be in the forefront and eventually she stepped down to lift him up."

"It's just the way it is / Maybe it's never gonna change / But I got a mind to show my strength / And I got my right to speak my mind / And I'm gonna pay for this / They're gonna burn me at the stake / But I got a fire in my veins / I wasn't made to fall in line / No, I wasn't made to fall in line / No." The duet had been in the works for months.
