    After Water Delay, Megan Thee Stallion’s Atlanta Show Finally Goes On

    5 Min Read

    Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer tour was supposed to twerk into the Atlanta week, but the city’s water issues caused some scheduling problems for the “Wap” rapper.

    Megan Thee Stallion had to cancel her Friday night show due to Atlanta water issues. She posted on social media the following message:

    “I’m extremely disappointed because I had a huge surprise for the Hotties tonight, but we will follow the Mayor’s protocol. Tonight’s show is rescheduled for THIS SUNDAY June 2nd,2024. We will still move forward with tomorrows show, Praying for the people who lost access to water due to this situation,” Megan said.

    She also had to cancel Saturday’s show, with no makeup date announced. The show on Sunday went on without a hitch, although it too was iffy for a few hours.

    The Texas-based artist’s highly-anticipated “Hot Girl Summer Tour” with Grammy-nominated artist GloRilla has added some dates due to multiple sellouts and high demand.

    When Did The Hot Girl Summer Tour Coming To Atlanta?

    Megan Thee Stallion was set to perform in Atlanta on June 2 at State Farm Arena. She ended up having a Sunday show after all .

    Atlanta was one of the shows that Live Nation added to The “Hot Girl Summer Tour,” which now includes 33 dates across North America and Europe.

    Megan formally announced the tour on March 20, which marked her first-ever, headlining tour in arenas across the globe and will feature a special Chicas Divertidas VIP section. As part of the announcement, she also shared that GloRilla – who has delivered award-winning hits such as “Tomorrow 2 (feat Cardi B),” “FNF” and “Yeah Glo!,” – would join her on the domestic leg of the “Hot Girl Summer Tour.”

    The tour comes after her latest song “HISS” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February. “HISS” also became the first-ever, solo female rap song to debut No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and, as a result, Megan now owns the record for the biggest first week for a solo female rap song in history. 

    The achievement signified Megan’s third No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, following her other chart-topping hits such as “Savage (Remix)” with Beyoncé and “WAP” with Cardi B. The song was Megan’s second solo release via Hot Girl Productions – her independent music and entertainment entity. 

    It’s the latest in a series of trailblazing milestones for Megan in 2024. Most recently, Planned Parenthood announced plans to honor Megan with the organization’s Catalyst for Change Award at its annual gala in New York City on April 16.

  • Blade movie filming in Atlanta

    Report: Marvel Studios Again Delays Filming of Blade In Atlanta

    5 Min Read

    The highly anticipated Blade movie has been beset with delay after delay after having originally planned to begin filming in Atlanta last spring. Marvel Studios thought their fourth hire as lead writer — Michael Green — would be their last, but the Blade Runner scribe left the project just like the others.

    Also getting a huge facelift is the script, which lead actor Mahershala Ali has been trying to reconcile for more than a year now.

    The film, which will have an R rating, will be helmed by Yann Demange, who previously directed Lovecraft Country. Other than that, pretty much everything else is in the air.

    That’s a far cry from how Marvel and Disney saw the project a year ago. That’s when Marvel honcho Kevin Feige sat down with Entertainment Weekly and confirmed that Blade will restart in Atlanta around May 2023.

    Marvel Delays Filming of Blade In Atlanta Yet Again

    “It’s going well. Our director Yann [Demange] is down in Atlanta right now. Cameras roll in, like, the next 10 weeks or so,” Feige told Entertainment Weekly at the time.

    That was good news coming one year after the popular franchise took an extended break mandated by the studio.

    Marvel Studios had to pause the filming of the Blade movie to search for a new director.

    The film, which stars Mahershala Ali in the title role, parted ways with  director Bassim Tariq in September 2022. Instead of quickly tapping someone to fill the role, Marvel temporarily shelved the project.

    Why Was Blade Project Postponed By Marvel Studios?

    Tariq’s removal from the project had a lot to do with how the production schedule was going, according to THR.

    “Due to continued shifts in our production schedule, Bassam is no longer moving forward as director of Blade but will remain an executive producer on the film,” Marvel told THR. “We appreciate Bassam’s talent and all the work he’s done getting Blade to where it is.”

    Disney confirmed months ago that the new Blade movie had begun filming in Atlanta, Georgia. The project went through fits and starts though due to script rewrites.

    If you’re a Blade fan like the rest of us, keep reading to find out the latest on the soon-to-be blockbuster movie.

    Blade Movie Filming In Atlanta: Here’s What We Know

    After Marvel Studios’ tremendous response to its Phase 4 movie schedule, Blade has been a priority of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    As you may know, the Blade franchise had a very popular run in the 1990s with Wesley Snipes in the lead role. Now, however, things have changed.

    What Is The New Blade Movie About?

    Blade is basically about a half-vampire anti-superheroes that stalks the underworld. While the film was originally going to feature Ali prominently in the title role, several revisions have pushed the character back as a sort of guiding force as younger stars shine in the spotlight.

    Last December, Ali was on board with the changes, telling EW he was “sincerely encouraged in terms of where things are at and who’s on board and who’s leading the way as far as the writing of the script and the directing and all that.” 

    While the MCU has not been shy about making major changes to its superhero story arcs, there is no word just yet on what the plot of the new film will be.

    Who Will Play Blade In The MCU?

    Two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali has been cast for the lead role in the new Blade movie. He joins an all-star cast that reads like a who’s who of new Hollywood, although we’ve only heard of a handful of actors as cast members.

    Who Are The Cast Members In Blade Movie?

    Here are the cast members of the new Blade movie that we know about so far:
    • Mahershala Ali
    • Delroy Lindo
    • Aaron Pierre
    • Milan Ray

    Antony Starr has also been named as a leading candidate to play Dracula, although negotiations are reportedly continuing.

    When Is Blade’s Release Date?

    Blade movie filming in Atlanta

    Blade was originally scheduled to be released in theaters on November 3, 2023, but Marvel Studios has pushed it back to September 6, 2024. The company has been very particular about which films will get a theater release and those that will be streamed on Disney+.

    Where Was The New Blade Movie Filming In Atlanta?

    Blade was originally shooting footage around Atlanta in late summer 2022, including at Tyler Perry Studios, for Disney. The film is filming under the pseudo-name “Perfect Imprints.”

    The film was also set to film in New Orleans at some point.

    Blade is just one of many films filmed in Atlanta. See our Movies Page for more.

    2 Min Read

    If you’ve been out to eat in Atlanta, Georgia over the past couple of years, you know that the menus have gotten pricier while the portions and food quality has either stayed the same or gotten worse.

    A new report from Givex, a cloud-based customer and business insights platform, offering a detailed look into evolving consumer behaviors as food prices at restaurants across the nation continue to push upward.

    More Restaurant Guests Say Eating Out a Challenge

    The Givex 2024 Restaurant and Dining Trends Survey draws from responses of over 1,000 Americans, examining the impact of inflation on American dining preferences and habits.

    Some key findings:

    • A notable 78% of Americans agree that higher menu prices have made dining out more challenging over the past year.
    • According to the survey, 86% of Americans cite promotions as a major incentive to dine out, closely followed by coupons and discounts at 81%.
    • Additionally, 65% of respondents find value in loyalty programs, and nearly half (47%) are attracted to Happy Hour deals.

    So what does all this mean for the modern restaurant consumer? It means that 41% of respondents are dining out less frequently, while 45% have reduced their food delivery orders compared to last year. Meanwhile, 60% report cooking more at home.

    How To Save Money When You Eat Out

    Here’s how you can save some money when eating out at a restaurant:

    Use Coupons

    If you receive mailers to your house or apartment with coupons in them, use them. Many restaurants offer BOGO deals or Kids Eat Free deals in coupons sent to your place of residence.

    Sign up and save by joining a restaurant loyalty program. Nearly half of all Americans prioritize grocery loyalty programs, with 49% rating them as most important, according to the survey. Overall, 87% of Americans participate in at least one loyalty program.

    Opt for Leftovers

    Many times at a restaurant, you’ll be served portion sizes that are way more food than you actually need or want. Why not treat the surplus as an additional meal that you can have later on? Creating leftovers from your restaurant meal is a great way to get more value out of dining out.

    Final Taste

    Eating out doesn’t have to be a drain on your wallet. Check out these steps to saving money on food to keep your budget in check.

    International Travel Checklist: 5 Essential Things You Need Before Your Trip

    5 Min Read

    There are few things as exciting as traveling abroad to a foreign country. If that’s in your plans, you’ll want to learn how to do it the right way.

    In this article, we’re going to go over everything you need, from the smallest items to the must-have things for your trip.

    At the bottom, we’ll also give you a FREE printable essential packing list for all your travel needs. But first, you need to know about general COVID protocols outside of the United States: In most cases, you no longer have to complete a multi-day quarantine after traveling to a destination.

    Now let’s go over five things you need to do before your trip.

    1. Make Sure Your Passport Is Current

    The most important thing you’ll need before you leave the country is a valid passport. Contrary to belief, many people think that if their passport expiration date is good at the time of their departure, they’re safe — but that’s not true. Your passport needs to be current for your whole trip, but not only that: The U.S. Department of State recommends that your passport be good for six months after your trip. That way, if something happens, say, you get injured and need to be hospitalized for some time, your stay in the country will remain legal. Here’s where to renew your passport in Atlanta.

    2. Call Your Financial Institution

    The second thing you need to do is let your bank know that you’re going out of town. This way, they won’t view any credit card charges or withdrawals in another country as suspicious. Here are the customer service numbers for some major banks:

    3. Withdraw Some Cash

    International travel checklist and packing list - withdraw cash from ATM It’s hard to know how much money you’re going to need for your trip because it’s going to be based on how many days you’ll be there as well as what you’ll do. No matter what the amount, you’re going to need to carry some hard cash so don’t forget to withdraw some before you leave the United States. If you wait to get cash in a foreign country you’re going to unnecessarily subject yourself to some expensive fees. Better yet, get yourself a Charles Schwab account, where all withdrawal fees or free or reimbursed. Here’s how to avoid overdraft fees from your checking account.

    4. Complete These Home To-Dos

    Around the house you’ll want to take care of some important things while you’re away. Don’t forget to:

    • Water the plants
    • Turn off the air conditioner or heater
    • Turn the porch light on
    • Make arrangements for someone to feed your animals
    • Set your email to auto-respond

    5. Get Travel Insurance

    If you’re going out of town for a lengthy period, it may make sense to get some travel insurance. The reason why this is important is because it’s a good chance your own medical insurance doesn’t cover out-of-the-country trips. Go to InsureMyTrip.com to compare prices on some of the best policies out there. Now let’s get into the many things you need for an international trip before you leave: Here’s why you need travel insurance right now.

  • Braves Star Acuña To Miss Rest of the Season

    2 Min Read

    Atlanta Braves superstar and league MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. has been once again sidelined by injury. This time, it will cost him — and the Braves — the remainder of the season.

    Acuña hit himself in Sunday’s game while running bases. While the injury didn’t initially look as bad, after further tests, he was diagnosed with a complete tear of the ACL in his left knee.

    Acuña posted “Sorry” on his X account, which was flooded with well-wishes.

    Acuña has torn an ACL in the past three calendar years. The latest tear of his anterior cruciate ligament occurred during the first inning of the Braves’ 8-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

    “I hate it for the young men that it affects more than us,” Braves manager Brian Snitker told MLB.com. “These guys love to play the game. When something like this happens, I hate it.”
