Nick Cannon: 'Bre Tiesi is an amazing mom and amazing businesswoman'
Nick Cannon says Bre Tiesi is an 'an amazing mom and amazing businesswoman'. The 44-year-old father-of-12 shares son Legendary Love, three, with the Selling Sunset star and Nick is proud of how she has handled herself on the Netflix reality TV show. He told PEOPLE: 'She's built for this. She's a rockstar. She's a superstar. She's an amazing mom, amazing businesswoman and truly like a boss.' 'I mean when you see her on Selling Sunset and even how she moves on her own, you know, it's content, [but] it's not a façade. She don't need [advice], I need to get some advice from her.' Nick shares his 12 children with six different women, including Bre, 34, and his former wife Mariah Carey, 56, and his and Bre's unconventional relationship has caused some issues with her castmates on Selling Sunset. Her co-star Chelsea Lazkani said on season six: 'I find Nick Cannon and Bre's relationship rather off-putting. Ultimately the way I live my life is very different to her as a Christian, so I don't know if we will ever be super, super close friends." Chelsea also told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think she wants to kill me, and I want to stay alive for a very long time. So, you know, I just think I'll keep my distance from her. 'I mean, I get it. She doesn't like me. And some of the things I said were very hurtful. So, I completely acknowledge that.' Bre previously told PEOPLE: 'You know, as I said on the show, I'm perfectly fine in a room with a bunch of b****** that hate me. I could not care less. It seems more like a you problem, to be honest."

Meghan Markle eyeing new ‘gold mine' but Sussexes could still be forced to cut staff at Archewell production company
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's new 'first look' deal with Netflix could end up netting the Sussexes more money than their original contract, an insider has claimed. The Sussexes signed a five-year, $100 million content partnership with the streaming giant through their Archewell company in the heady days of 2020. The deal produced the massively successful docu-series Harry and Meghan, where the Sussexes dished royal secrets, but subsequent projects have come and gone with little fanfare. Infamously, Harry's Drive To Survive-style series on Polo attracted less than 500,000 viewers around the world. Only Markle's cooking series With Love, Meghan, is set to return to the streamer for a 'second season'. It is understood the Sussexes will transition on to a 'first look' deal at Netflix within months, which gives the streamer first dibs on optioning any new Sussex projects. According to royal insider Alison Boshoff, the deal could end up being highly lucrative if Netflix opts to purchase several programs or expand the With, Love Meghan universe. 'There are options on the table for other lifestyle shows from the Duchess, tied to hosting gatherings at Thanksgiving or Christmas,' she wrote in the Daily Mail on Thursday. 'The idea is to announce those in September when the second series (already shot) of With Love, Meghan drops.' While standalone specials could be a 'goldmine' for Meghan, Ms Boshoff claimed that the Sussexes may struggle to cover the payroll at Archewell without the Netflix deal. 'It's bad news for their own large team at Archewell Productions, which has been funded up to now by the Netflix exclusive deal,' she wrote. 'Insiders suggest that running the team and the office costs around $3 million USD a year.' Meanwhile a source close to the couple expressed concerns that without the guiding hand of Netflix the Sussexes are 'horrible' at managing their business affairs. 'They are horrible at making decisions,' the source told the same outlet. 'They ask everyone, then don't take their advice.'

Killer thriller takes you on a wild European ride
When 30-year-old journalist Edward arrives on a small Greek island to spend some time with his distant mum Julie, he finds himself thrown into a world he never knew existed and ends up running for his life. That's because Julie is an assassin, and she's forced out of retirement when other professionals are sent to take her out. This leads to a massacre at a wedding in the village, and some very awkward conversations between the pair. Edward had no idea his mother was a trained killer and now he's got to go on the run with her. The duo are played by Freddie Highmore (The Good Doctor, Bates Motel) and Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard, Line of Duty), each straddling the line between drama and dark comedy. While Hawes owns the role and brings a great energy, Highmore seems a little out of his depth and never quite matches his co-star's tone. The six-episode series is a British-Australian co-production with action taking place all over Europe. There's conspiracies, blackmail, pursuits, you name it. But as the series progresses you find yourself increasingly wondering if The Assassin knows where it's going. It teases so many different story threads that you'd hope would have a solid payoff, but ultimately just fizzle out. By the time the finale rolls around, it seems that teenagers have taken over the writing tasks because this train goes completely off the rails. You might be tempted to finish the show just to solve the mysteries, but The Assassin is really not worth the trouble. That said, Aussie Devon Terrell (Totally Completely Fine) gives a spirited performance as the shallow, drug-taking son of an Aussie billionaire played by Alan Dale. Based on the novel by Esi Edugyan, Washington Black is a historical fiction series, following the titular George Washington Black across two timelines. In one, the young 'Wash' as he's known is a slave on a plantation in Barbados, looked after by another enslaved person with no knowledge of his birth family. The brother of the English slave-owner rolls into town in a fancy steam-powered vehicle - a shocking sight in the 1800s - and takes an interest in young Wash's astute mind. The pair end up setting out on an adventure together, but the dynamic is always awkward being that Wash is technically still owned by this man's family. The second timeline sees a now older Wash going by the name 'Jack Crawford' and living in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a city at the end of the famous Underground Railroad. He meets an English woman with mixed ancestry and is immediately taken with her, despite their differences in circumstances. The show is sprawling and beautifully costumed, but the reliance on CGI and weirdly juvenile storytelling is a drawback. In the grand tradition of RPA or 24 Hours in A&E, Netflix's Critical: Between Life and Death, takes viewers behind the scenes of series medical emergencies. Set in London, the docuseries focuses on significant trauma cases, and the paramedics, dispatchers, helicopter pilots, doctors, surgeons, nurses and coordinators who make these cases run as smoothly as possible. What's remarkable is how calmly and quietly these medical professionals go about their jobs - a far cry from the chaos people who religiously watched ER would come to expect from such occasions. The show also catches up with the people and their families involved in the accidents and incidents that led them to needing serious medical attention. There's plenty of documentary action to be found on your streaming services this week. On Stan you'll find The Accidental President, a fascinating feature documentary about the remarkable story of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who challenged the Belarusian dictator by running for president against him. Disney+ has a docuseries from producer Ryan Coogler (known for Black Panther, Sinners) called Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time, looking back at the devastating natural disaster of 2005 in New Orleans. Also on Disney+ is a true crime docuseries, Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit. Over on Prime Video you'll find another season of docuseries Shiny Happy People, this time focusing on Teen Mania, an evangelical Christian youth organisation out of Texas. While Netflix has some happier documentary fare with Hitmakers, a series focusing on the songwriters and producers behind some of the world's biggest musical artists. There's also, of course, Netflix's huge film release of recent times: Happy Gilmore 2.
