celebrityinsider.org:

After some backlash over voicing two mixed-race characters on animated productions, Kristen Bell and Jenny Slate have decided to give up the gigs.

Furthermore, they both called for black actresses to take over the roles. The two actresses are trying to inspire a proper change in the industry, even in animation!

Black or mixed-race characters need to be voiced by the appropriate race, especially in a society that offers much fewer career opportunities to people of color as it is!

Furthermore, diversity in entertainment is barely there so it’s not fair at all for even those rather rare roles to be taken over by white actors.

Coronation Street legend Bill Roache has ‘psychic powers’ claims former co-star after he gives her accurate reading

CORRIE legend Bill Roache has ‘psychic powers’ one of his former co-star’s has claimed after he gave her a very accurate reading. Thelma Barlow, who played Mavis Wilton on the long-running ITV soap, recently found a reading the veteran actor gave her almost 50 years ago. If Bill, 88, ever decides to retire from showbiz and start a new career as a psychic then he would get a glowing reference from his former co-star, Thelma Barton. The actor studied astrology in the 70s and did a reading for his new co-star, who played Mavis Riley on the soap from 1971 to 1997.

On FX's What We Do in the Shadows, created by Jemaine Clement (based on the 2014 film he wrote and directed with Taika Waititi), three vampires who once set out to conquer America have found themselves living lazy and beleaguered lives in modern-day Staten Island. It's something like Three's Company by way of Dark Shadows: While werewolves, ghosts, witches and trolls lurk outside, the bumbling bloodsuckers are often too caught up in their centuries-old pettiness to notice.
