WISN 12 in Milwaukee, where Rivers earned the distinction of being the city’s first Black film critic on television in 1979, announced his death on Wednesday.The announcement applauded the Marquette University graduate for contributing “segments for the nationally syndicated PM Magazine, which he said helped Milwaukee go beyond stereotypes.”His sister, Betsy Rivers, later confirmed his death on Facebook.“Bobby passed away last night and is no longer in any pain,” she wrote on Wednesday.A cause of death has not been announced.The Post has reached out to Rivers’ reps for comment.Heralded as “Milwaukee’s Black, queer media pioneer” by Wisconsin LGBTQ news outlet Our Lives Wisconsin, Rivers worked as a VJ on VH1 in 1985 alongside Rosie O’Donnell.

plenty to talk about this year.On the air almost every weekday, talk show hosts and guests have to be outrageous to be considered ridiculous — and these 15 moments are proof.With plenty of airtime to fill, audiences get to know the personalities and their families — for better or worse. The camera often leads to hosts oversharing, and those watching at home eat it right up and share it widely on social media.One of the worst perpetrators in 2023 was Mark Consuelos, who joined his wife, Kelly Ripa, as the co-host of ABC’s “Live” this year.

The movie musical The Color Purple is now in theaters and it features an exciting cameo from a beloved star.

told Variety, about her starring role in the 2023 musical movie adaptation of the famous Alice Walker novel. It also got adapted into Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated 1985 film, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, a 2005 Broadway musical, and a 2015 revival.“The Little Mermaid” star Halle Bailey is also in the 2023 movie.

The Color Purple often succeeds as a thoughtful fusion of two other adaptations of Alice Walker’s landmark novel that still confidently hums its own tune.In shakier moments, though, confidence gives way to nostalgia, when the film hammers home its reinterpretations of quotable scenes and dialogue from the Quincy Jones-produced, Steven Spielberg-directed 1985 adaptation with an insistence that borders on flashing “Hey, remember this?” in bold type onscreen.Creating and saying something new with such proven material, while also purposely coaxing audience sentiment for a beloved original, surely posed a formidable challenge for Bazawule and company. And having Jones, Spielberg, and Oprah Winfrey — the big guns and big breakout from the 1985 film — onboard as producers must have eased and complicated the gig in unfathomable ways.Oprah and Jones also had a hand in the original Broadway musical adaptation, which has spun off its own lore and legacy, and adds another meta layer of pop-lit gloss to what this film aims to freshly reinterpret.The stage musical — with a book by Marsha Norman, and lyrics and music by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray — has amassed its own roster of breakout stars, including American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino, who made her 2007 Broadway debut stepping into the lead role of Celie, and Orange Is the New Black‘s Danielle Brooks, Tony-nominated for playing Sofia opposite Cynthia Erivo in the 2015 Broadway revival.Barrino and Brooks reprise their respective roles here with a lived-in grace and fortitude that does freshly illuminate Walker’s moving narrative, the lifeblood that courses through every iteration.
