Serena Williams Is ‘Not Giving Up’ On Grand Slam Record Chase

Image
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, 23-time grand slam champion Serena Williams talks about her rise to tennis stardom, changing the narrative around her father, overcoming racism in tennis and the double standards that exist within the sport. “I should have been at like 30 or 32” [grand slam singles titles]…I should have had it [the record], really, I've had many opportunities to have it. But I'm not giving up,” Williams tells CNN, and says she’s still aiming to beat Margaret Court’s record of 24. Although she was forced to miss January’s Australian Open following the advice of her medical team, Williams says she will play at the French Open in May if her body allows. Williams tells CNN how they aimed to change the narrative that has been grown up about their dad, Richard Williams, through the Hollywood film “King Richard,” which Williams and her sister Venus executive produced.

Image
Netflix and possibly various other streamers halt services in Russia Earlier this week, the streaming service had announced that it would pause all future projects and acquisitions from Russia, joining a growing list of companies that have cut ties with the country. Netflix had four Russian originals in the works, including a crime thriller series directed by Dasha Zhuk, which was shooting and has since been put on hold. Netflix also recently refused to carry 20 Russian free-to-air propaganda channels that it was required to host under Russian law. Now, the company is taking an additional step in shutting down its service entirely. “Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a spokesperson for Netflix said. The economic blowback that Russia has faced in the wake of its decision to go to war with Ukraine has been intense. Not only is the country grappling with extensive sanctions, but many corporations and organizations have pulled o

The Botched and Real Housewives star are set to host a new series The ultimate power couple is sharing their secrets for a successful marriage. But will Terry Dubrow and Heather Dubrow's efforts be enough to save another couple's marriage? That's what they're determined to find out on E!'s The Seven Year Stitch. Audiences rarely get to see reality stars at work and at home. The intimate view the Dubrow's have given to fans of the pros and cons of every aspect of their lives clarifies why they are ideal relationship experts. According to Dr. Dubrow, he believes that “one of the key things about a relationship is that it has good and bad parts.” While that might not seem like the perfect script, it is reality. More importantly, he said that “if you don’t keep your relationship to a certain degree under a microscope and keep an eye on it, it will get out from under you.” Heather explained, the heart of the program is to see how and why couples can be stitche

As Predicted, PBS Kids Replaces eToonz On DStv Easyview With eExtra Possibly Being Phased Out For Either Telemundo And/Or Novela Magic

Image
MultiChoice continues disregarding the existence of Easyview package which is set to lose 2 channels by the end of March. As seen in the previous week, MultiChoice found the relevant replacement for some packages. Through an enquiry it was revealed that Easyview customers would be getting the educational channel, PBS Kids (channel 313) in place of entertainment channel eToonz (channel 311) and of course MultiChoice couldn't bother to mention that when announcing the addition of KIX to Access. PBS Kids was available on the Easyview package when the channel was exclusive to the DStv app but likely due to costs it was put on Access when it launched in 2019.

TRAGEDY 💔: The True Story Of Disney's Beloved Fairytale Princess, Pocahontas

Image
Many tales have been told about Pocahontas, but not all of them are true. Pocahontas has been romanticized throughout American history, thanks in no small part to the accounts of English settlers John Smith and John Rolfe, and of course, the 1995 Disney animated movie. But who was the real Pocahontas? To help dispel the many myths surrounding the popular Native American figure, here are some facts that originate from Native American oral history and contemporary historical accounts. Pocahontas was actually her nickname Born around 1596, Pocahontas was actually known as Amonute, and to those closest to her, Matoaka. The name Pocahontas, in fact, belonged to her mother, who died while giving birth to her.

Could MultiChoice Bring Back Timeless Dizi Channel And tvN As Replacements For eExtra On DStv?

Image
During the week, viewers were disturbed to hear the announcement that MultiChoice will be severing ties with most of eMedia Investments set of channels leaving them with e.tv and eNCA as the others remain available on Openview. In these strings of announcements, MultiChoice announced several new channels KIX which will be also made available to Access customers, DreamWorks Channel and a second movie channel to make up for the scrapped channels. Interesting enough, MultiChoice hasn't found a suitor for eExtra either they still haven't looked or just don't care and the other could be that they have already found its suitor and its staring at viewer's faces.
