“We’re excited that we’re starting to represent our actual history,” Joe Pokaski tells TheWrap. With the news that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, the cast and creators of WGN America’s Underground Railroad series “Underground” could not be happier. “We’ve always said the show ‘Underground’ is about American heroes, so to finally have not only a woman but a black woman on a monetary bill is fantastic,” co-creator Misha Green told TheWrap. “We use money all the time. We’re used to seeing these faces of these white males and now we’re excited that we’re starting to represent our actual history,” co-creator Joe Pokaski added. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 from now…

Pucker up, Beyhive!! Beyoncé dropped a cryptic teaser Saturday for “Lemonade,” a “world premiere event” airing 9 p.m. next Saturday on HBO. The 20-second clip, posted to the singer’s YouTube and social media accounts, has Beyoncé in tight braids and a brown fur coat ever so slowly lifting her head into view. The video dramatically cuts to black before she shows her face. “What am I gonna do, love?” she breathes in a voiceover. The always mysterious singer’s announcement makes sense in light of an odd trio of captionless, lemon-related photos she posted Sept. 20: one of her happily sniffing a fresh lemon, another flashing a goblet of yellow drink, and a…

Radio One Bans All K. Michelle Music
R&B singer K.Michelle released her third album, “More Issues Than Vogue” (Atlantic Records) on Feb. 19 and the CD’s title may have been a foretelling of what was to come.
