Growing up Urkel
An incisive and insightful memoir by one of the most beloved icons of nineties television Jaleel White, the actor who portrayed Steve Urkel on the hit sitcom Family Matters. At the tender age of twelve, Jaleel White auditioned for the role of Steve Urkel, the socially inept genius, who was in love with his next-door neighbor, Laura. Though Steve Urkel was intended to be in only one episode, Jaleel's indelible performance catapulted Urkel into the pantheon of American pop culture. But success can cost as much as it pays. After nine years on the popular sitcom Family Matters, Jaleel is twenty-one, a UCLA undergrad, and adjusting to a world and industry that sees him as the nasally nerd in high water pants, suspenders, and coke bottle glasses. In this wise and witty memoir, 'Growing Up Urkel' takes you on a memorable journey through the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of fame and fortune.
BOOK
THE JURNEE IS THE DESTINATION
With HBO's buzzy Lovecraft Country about to boost her profile and platform, the actor and unapologetic activist opens up about Hollywood harassment, the trauma of brother Jussie's public scandal, and how she's finally 'learning to own her own power' In the fraught, sweaty days following the police killing of George Floyd, Jurnee Smollett has been working through a battery of emotions: When Smollett's latest project, HBO's Lovecraft Country, a highly anticipated horror, sci-fi, period mashup that revisits the atrocities of Jim Crow America, makes its debut Aug. 16, it will inevitably be trumpeted for its timeliness. Smollett filed for divorce from Hunter's dad, musician Josiah Bell, the day after Los Angeles' stay-at-home order went into effect in March, though the longtime couple quietly separated last year. Though Smollett insists she was more child actor than child star, it became something more than \"a hobby,\" she says, when she landed a starring role opposite Samuel L. Jackson in Kasi Lemmons' acclaimed 1997 film, Eve's Bayou.

The Palm Beach Post, Fla., Frank Cerabino column
If a white mayor had suggested such a sweeping plan for suspicionless searching of people and vehicles in a predominantly black city such as Riviera Beach, he or she might be accused of being racist, or at least promoting an over-broad and racially insensitive solution to a specific and limited problem. Because a couple days after announcing the city would start stopping and searching young people on the streets, he gave a rambling Facebook message under a portrait of Jesus' Last Supper, in which Masters backed away from some of his own words.
