The powerful trailer for Jordan Peele’s latest project, High Horse: The Black Cowboy, is officially here — three years after his 2022 film, Nope.

“If there were no Black cowboys, then America wouldn’t exist,” writer Michael Harriot explains early in the trailer for the three-part series, produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.

“The Black cowboy was intentionally removed from the story, so we can create the myth of the American white cowboy,” another person says in the trailer, which was released via YouTube on Thursday, November 6.

The trailer immediately sets the tone for the docuseries — a deep-dive into both the history and erasure of Black cowboys in American culture. The trailer opens with a scene featuring two men — each wearing cowboy hats, scarves around their mouths and long black coats — as they square off against one another on a dusty street. The scene then reveals one of the men is Black, while the other is white.

Peele’s documentary will premiere on Peacock on November 20, and features interviews with Pam Grier, Tina Knowles, Lori Harvey, Bun B and more.

“I’m grateful to Monkeypaw for amplifying the powerful voices and long-standing culture of Black Cowboys and Cowgirls,” Peele said in a statement shared online. “Through High Horse: The Black Cowboy, on Peacock, their history is inseparable from the story of our country. And this project aims to honor and celebrate their lasting legacy.”

The docuseries is directed by Jason Perez and executive produced by Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Keisha Senter, Jamal Watson, Mari Keiko Gonzalez, Liz Yale Marsh, Kadine Anckle, Tom Casciato, Sacha Jenkins and Keith McQuirter.

The film is Peele’s newest since 2022’s Nope, a sci-fi horror thriller starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as a brother and sister who operate the only Black-owned horse ranch in Agua Dulce, California. The family trains and rents out horses for movies and TV shows being produced in Hollywood, until their father is struck and killed by a mysterious object falling from the sky.

In a June 2022 interview with Fandango, Peele explained he wrote the film in part as an effort to get audiences back into theaters to see movies.

“I wrote it in a time when we were a little bit worried about the future of cinema,” Peele said. “So the first thing I knew is I wanted to create a spectacle. I wanted to create something that the audience would have to come see.”

He continued: “So I set my sights on the great American UFO story. And the movie itself deals with spectacle, and the good and bad that come from this idea of attention. It’s a horror epic, but it has some points in it that are meant to elicit a very audible reaction in the theater.”

In fact, Peele was so focused on the audience while writing the movie that he even titled the film after the one word he most hoped attendees would yell out while watching. “So hopefully, when we go see it, we’re going to hear a lot of ‘nope!’” he added.

Former New York Mets star Darryl Strawberry, an eight-time MLB All-Star and three-time World Series champion, announced via Instagram on Friday, November 7, that he has been pardoned by President Donald Trump for his former tax evasion conviction.

Strawberry, 63, said in the social media post that he received the call from President Trump on Thursday, November 6. He thanked the president for “finalizing this part of my life, allowing me to be truly free.”

“Half asleep, I glanced over and saw a call from Washington, DC,” Strawberry explained in the post. “Curious, I answered, and to my amazement, the lady on the line said, ‘Darryl Strawberry, you have a call from the President of the United States, Donald Trump.’ I put it on speakerphone with my wife nearby, and President Trump spoke warmly about my baseball days in NYC, praising me as one the greatest players of the ’80s and celebrating the Mets. Then, he told me he was granting me a full pardon from my past.”

The Most Controversial Presidential Pardons Ever — and How They Work

He continued: “My wife captured the moment on video, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude – thanking God for setting me free from my past.”

Strawberry’s successful baseball career spanned from 1983 to 1999, but was marked with legal troubles and drug abuse. He pleaded guilty in the tax evasion case in 1995, after he was accused of failing to report more than $350,000 in income from autographs, personal appearances and sales of memorabilia between 1986 and 1990.

According to a report from the New York Times, a White House official said Strawberry had served his time and paid back the taxes.

“Following his career, Mr. Strawberry found faith in Christianity and has been sober for over a decade — he has become active in ministry and started a recovery center which still operates today,” the official told the Times.

“This has nothing to do with politics,” Strawberry wrote in his Instagram post, which included three photos of him alongside President Trump. “It’s about a Man, President Trump, caring deeply for a friend. God used him as a vessel to set me free forever!”

The former Rookie of the Year was the No. 1 draft pick in the 1980 MLB Draft, selected by the Mets, and made his big-league debut in 1983. He won his first World Series with the fabled 1986 Mets team that included other greats such as Dwight Gooden and Keith Hernandez.

He also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees, where he ultimately finished his career.

Strawberry won two more championships with the Yankees in 1996 and 1999.

In 2024, the Mets retired Strawberry’s No. 18 jersey. During the ceremony, he showed some remorse about leaving the Mets in 1990.

“I’m truly, deeply sorry that I ever left you guys,” he told the fans. “I never played baseball in front of fans greater than you guys.”

Strawberry finished his 17-year baseball career with 335 career home runs and 1,000 RBI. He had 1,401 total hits.

Happy’s Place has found a way to cast every main cast member from Reba, so are they aiming for the guest stars next?

“I think those are the next steps,” Melissa Peterman exclusively told Us Weekly about the hit NBC series. “I would love to get all of them in. It’s a bar so people come and go. That could be very fun.”

Peterman, 54, who plays Gabby, loved the idea of more familiar faces on the show.

“I love the idea of getting those big, iconic guest stars. We had Dolly [Parton], we had James Denton and Patrick Fabian,” she continued. “We’ve had so many great guest stars on the show. That would be really fun. Plus Kelly Clarkson, please. That would be such a fun list to go down.”

Which ‘Reba’ Sitcom Alums Haven’t Appeared on NBC’s ‘Happy’s Place’ Yet?

Reba, which aired from 2001 to 2007, starred Reba McEntire, Peterman, Christopher Rich, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Steve Howey. The show followed a single mom who had to start over after her husband left her for another woman. Reba (McEntire) attempted to start fresh while raising three kids — including her pregnant teen daughter (Garcia Swisher) and her boyfriend (Howey).

Nearly two decades later, McEntire, 70, and Peterman reunited with former Reba executive producer Kevin Abbott on Happy’s Place. This allowed them to cast some familiar faces in their new sitcom, which centers around Bobbie (McEntire) as she inherits her father’s restaurant and discovers a new business partner in the long-lost half-sister (Belissa Escobedo).

Season 1 introduced Us to Peterman’s character Gabby, who is a bartender on Happy’s Place after the actress previously played Barbra Jean on Reba. Howey, 48, meanwhile, rose to stardom playing Van on Reba before making a guest appearance on Happy’s Place as Gabby’s rich friend. Rich, 72, originally played Brock on Reba and then crossed paths with McEntire and Peterman while playing a tattoo artist on Happy’s Place.

Swisher, 46, meanwhile, is making an appearance in season 2. “JoAnna was a dream to work with. She plays an influencer and Gabby wants to know all about being an influencer so she’s going to help with the commercial for the tavern because I can’t cut it,” McEntire teased to Us. “It’s just hysterical. That was one of the episodes that was totally fun.”

While teasing the rest of the season, McEntire and Escobedo, 27, shared how they were excited for viewers to see how much Happy’s Place has evolved.

“It is a great place to be. We know our audience, we know each other better and we’ve gelled. We didn’t have that big of a break between the first season ending and second season beginning so we just fell right back into it,” McEntire teased. “We’re bonding a lot more. All six of us are very confident and very comfortable with each other — to a point that when we do have a guest cast, we feel very comfortable sharing the stage.”

Escobedo said the connection can be felt on the show.

“As we get more comfortable and more bonded, we see it in the characters as well,” she added. “Because we’re getting comfortable with our own characters and so each personality gets a little deeper. You get more into that person.”

She continued: “That’s what I’m so excited for everyone to see is how much the relationship between everyone has progressed into even more of an ensemble. It’s just so funny.”

McEntire teased to Us that the stories in season 2 are even bigger and better, adding, “We’ve progressed and we’ve grown together. We’re a tight knit family — although [Belissa and I] are the only ones that are blood related on the show. But it feels like we’re kids that have been adopted into one big family called Happy’s Place.”

Happy’s Place airs on NBC Fridays at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Peacock.

Last week, a major shakeup between YouTube TV and Disney has been causing blackouts for viewers who rely on the app for watching Disney-owned channels.

Unable to reach an agreement, Disney has been blacked out on YouTube TV. That means subscribers needed to find other ways to watch last weekend’s college football games without ESPN.

But unfortunately, the dispute is still ongoing, which puts this week’s ABC shows in peril.

Thankfully, there are quick fixes as well as more permanent options if you can’t bear to miss Dancing with the Stars, 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville, High Potential or Golden Bachelor.

Read on for the Watch With Us guide below!

How to Watch ESPN and College Football Games Without YouTube TV

Can I Watch ABC For Free Anywhere?

Fortunately, there are a few options for watching ABC for free. For one, it’s a channel that’s already free over the air and can be accessed with “rabbit ear” broadcast antennae, if you don’t mind going a little old school.

If you’d prefer not to invest in an antenna, you can try free trials of both fuboTV and DIRECTV, which also give you access to ESPN. After the five-day trial, DIRECTV is only $39.99 per month, which is a pretty good deal if you don’t want your live TV to be interrupted again. It can be more expensive, though, depending on what channel pack you want.

FuboTV is also pretty reasonable, and only a little pricier. For one month after the trial period, the price for the basic plan with 29 channels is $45.99, then $55.99 in the second month.

Which Apps Offer ABC Live?

If you’d prefer to keep things on the apps, you can get the Hulu + Live TV plan for $89.99, which includes live TV, Disney+ and ESPN Select. Or, bump that monthly price up an extra $10 and get Hulu Premium and Disney+ Premium.

You can also try Sling TV, which is a cable streaming app similar to fuboTV. It comes with different bundles you can choose depending on what kinds of channels you want to access. For instance, the Sling Orange package for $45.99 per month focuses on sports and family channels, while Sling Blue at $45.99 centers on news and entertainment. Or, purchase both packages together for $65.99, and get half off for your first month. However, you do need Sling Blue to access ABC.

Where Else Can I Watch ABC Right Now?

At the end of the day, pretty much every cable provider is going to offer ABC, so maybe it’s time to make the switch from streaming back over to cable — especially if you’d prefer not to have these kinds of disputes affect you’re daily watching habits. Cable providers to choose from (based on availability in your area) include: Optimum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios, Spectrum, Dish and Cox. Of course, all of these come with a cost.

ABC Fall Schedule for New, Returning Shows: From ‘DWTS’ to ‘Shifting Gears’

People joke about the fact that we pay for so many separate streaming services now that a lot of the time it adds up to the same cost or even more than just paying for a cable package. Perhaps this conflict between YouTube TV and Disney will provide customers with more reason to just go back to basics.

Kim Kardashian is turning heads in with a daring outfit choice.

The All’s Fair actress, 45, posted a carousel of racy snaps via her Instagram account on Friday, November 7.

In several of the sultry photos, Kim posed on rocks with the sea acting as a picturesque backdrop.

As Kim embraced the barely-there attire, she showed off the outfit and her curves from every angle. Some images featured Kim looking at the camera while another photo showed the dress from behind as she stared out to sea.

While Kim simply captioned the post, “🩶,” her sister Khloe, 41, had a little more to say about the images. Taking to the comments section, Khloe wrote, “Stunnnnnn.”

Kim Kardashian Covers Her Curves in 50,000 Real Pearls for Met Gala: Pics

The sentiment was echoed by celebrity trainer, Melissa Alcantara, who gushed, “Wow so beautiful 😍”

Earlier this week, Kim showed off behind-the-scene snaps from when she stripped off for a cover shoot for Re-Edition Magazine.

The reality TV star went completely nude for the shoot except for body paint, which covered a considerable amount of her body.

The photo, posted on Monday, November 5, showed a close-up of Kim’s figure, which was painted to look like she was wearing a plunging top, a tailored blazer, high-waisted pants and a brown leather belt. Kim wore only a thong for the occasion, which was also painted to blend in.

Kim appears to have a penchant for naked dresses and has stepped out in sheer attire for many of her red carpet appearances over the years, including her famous “wet look” dress she wore for the Met Gala in 2019.

Another memorable outfit Kim sported for the Met Gala was an iconic gown once worn by the late Marilyn Monroe. The Gentlemen Prefer Blonde star famously wore the dress while serenading President John F Kennedy in 1962 for his 45th birthday and Kim dusted it off for the Met Gala in 2022.

Controversy arose when she originally struggled to fit into a replica of the dress and the owners Ripley’s Believe It Or Not almost denied the star from the chance to wear it at all.

“I had to try the prototype first and see if that fit, and once it fit they sent the original,” Kim told her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, during an episode of The Kardashians in 2022. “And when I went to put it on, it wouldn’t even go up over my hips. And I was just devastated.”

In order to fit in the gown in time for the event, Kim lost 16 pounds in three weeks, sparking backlash from some fans for promoting potentially unhealthy weight-loss journeys.

There were also concerns about whether Kim damaged the historical Hollywood item by wearing it to a red carpet.

Kim was questioned by Vanity Fair on Monday, November 3 using a lie detector test about whether she damaged Monroe’s Bob Mackie and Jean Louis dress by wearing it.

In the video, Teyana Taylor asked her, “I wanna settle this for once and for all. Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe’s dress?”

Kim then looked at herself posing in the number and replied, “No.”

Following criticism at the time, Ripley’s VP of Publishing and Licensing, Amanda Joiner, issued a statement in June 2022, claiming that Kim did not cause any damage to the historic gown.

“From the bottom of the Met steps, where Kim got into the dress, to the top where it was returned, the dress was in the same condition it started in,” the statement read.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Lotus Holding Malawi has set its sights on transforming the nation’s agricultural landscape with what calls “the largest project of its kind” in the country.

Speaking in an interview with Maravi Post on Friday, Lotus Managing Director George Martis
revealed that the company plans to cultivate up to 6,000 hectares of wheat and 3,000 hectares of white haricot beans for export.

He said the project, he will not only boost Malawi’s export earnings but also include a flour production facility to process part of the harvest locally.

“We have a lot to contribute to Malawi.This project will create jobs, strengthen food security, and position Malawi as a serious player in regional agriculture,”Martis said.

A Lotus Holding website, the company’s long-term vision is even larger aiming to develop up to 20,000 hectares of fully mechanised and irrigated farmland. The initial phase, covering about 1,000 hectares, is already being prepared as a model for expansion.

Lotus mission is to modernise farming in Malawi through technology, irrigation, and year-round cultivation.

Beyond wheat and beans, the company plans to introduce other high-value crops for both local consumption and export, helping the country earn much-needed foreign exchange.

With this investment, Lotus hopes to help shift Malawi from subsistence farming to commercial-scale agriculture, creating new economic opportunities across the value chain from farming and processing to transport and exports.

“We are not just planting crops; we are planting a new future for Malawi’s agriculture,” adds Martis.
