Why Noah’s Arc Gets a Movie Every 5 Years (But Girlfriends Still Can’t Get One)

Why Noah’s Arc Gets a Movie Every 5 Years (But Girlfriends Still Can’t Get One) It’s giving drama. It’s giving overdue. It’s giving—where is the Girlfriends movie?! Let’s talk about it. Back in 2005, Noah’s Arc was that show. The groundbreaking series aired on Logo and followed a tight-knit group of gay Black men navigating love, friendship, career goals, and messy situations in Los Angeles. Created by the brilliant Patrik-Ian Polk, Noah’s Arc wasn’t just entertainment—it was a cultural moment. Fast-forward to 2025, and Noah's Arc is back (again) with another movie. Yes, baby, the girls are assembling—again! Now, let’s get one thing straight: I’m here for it. The last movie (Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom) dropped way back in 2008—so yeah, it’s been a minute. But when that cast reunites, it always feels like a family reunion… with cocktails and unresolved drama. So this 20th-anniversary movie? Oh, you know it’s about to be everything. BUT HERE’S MY PROBLEM… Why do I have to jump...

listen to Miss Jones where I wanna be boy Still Sings Like Somebody Stole Her Man: Miss Jones and “Where I Wanna Be Boy” — 16 Years Later and Still a BOP Let’s talk about a song that had absolutely no business going that hard — and yet here we are, 16 years later, still pressing play like it just dropped yesterday. Yes, I’m talking about Miss Jones' underrated, slept-on, wish-somebody-would classic: “Where I Wanna Be Boy.” 714,000 views on YouTube and counting — and let’s be real, half of them are probably mine. That song? Whew. She cut that vocal like her rent depended on it. Like the boy in the title packed up and left with her debit card, her weave appointment, and her last ounce of dignity.

Take me with you.” But hold on — where is Miss Jones now? Because I’m still wait...

But honey, even the fiercest queens can trip on their own drama. Let's spill the tea on how this once-glamorous show found itself chasing more chaos than clout. 🌟 Season 1: The Debutante Ball Back in 2018, Chasing: Dallas made its grand entrance, promising glitz, glam, and gaggles of drama. The cast was a cocktail of hairstylists, makeup artists, and influencers, all vying for their moment in the spotlight.

Bettye LaVette Reflects on "The Last Goodbye" and a Long-Awaited Gold Record In 2022, the incredible electronic duo ODESZA released a track called The Last Goodbye , and they built it around my recording of Let Me Down Easy from way back in 1965. Before the song was even released, Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight reached out to me personally. They offered me half of the song rights — without hesitation.

Watching it now feels like stepping into a time machine. (You can see it here: The Last Goodbye - ODESZA (Official Video) ) Now here we are — three years later, and almost sixty years since I first recorded Let Me Down Easy — and I just received my very first gold record , beautifully framed and delivered to my door. I can't even begin to tell you how much this moment means to me. I’m so grateful to Harrison and Clayto...
