Although many critics and movie-goers were not wowed with the remake of the movie “Sparkle,” there’s one thing for certain–Sparkle, her sisters and mama were…

It’s difficult to step into an iconic role that so many people hold dear. That was what British-born actress Carmen Ejogo had to do when she was cast as “Sister” in the remake of the 1976 movie “Sparkle.” Ejogo reprises the role made famous by Lonette McKee, who plays lead character Sparkle’s troubled oldest sister.

Besides being a religious leader, anyone who follows Bishop T.D. Jakes knows he continuously gives back to the community in more ways than one. One of those ways is entertainment and movies. The most anticipated movie of the summer, 'Sparkle' will be in theaters tomorrow and Bishop was one of the major producers of the film. He called the TJMS this morning to talk to the Fly Jock Tom Joyner and crew about why he chose not to make a cameo appearance in the film, he definitely speaks about the late Whitney Houston, he spoke about the emergence of singer/actress Jordin Sparks and how she handled her fist major motion picture with professionalism and even revealed that the late songstress Aaliyah was initially coined to play the role that Jordin Sparks played. Everything the Bishop has his hands on comes out to be successful and we can't see any reason why 'Sparkle' will be any different. Check out the interview and make sure you see the movie for yourself.

The remake of “Sparkle” heads into theaters on Friday. The new version was a pet project for the late Whitney Houston, who loved the original 1976 movie it was based on. While we can appreciate the performances of new cast members Houston, Carmen Ejogo, Jordin Sparks, Tika Sumpter, Derek Luke and Mike Epps, the original cast was memorable as well. We wanted to catch up with some of the stars of the first “Sparkle” to see what they’re up to these days. Read on.

Mike Epps has a pivotal role in the remake of the movie “Sparkle” due out this Friday. He plays Satin Struthers, a gangster in the original film, who’s been remade into a comedian this time. But this doesn’t mean Epps is any less menacing. His Struthers is a comic who’s become embittered by his lack of respect in his own community. Epps’ role isn’t the comic relief – he’s once again playing a dramatic role as he did in “Jumping the Broom.”

Epps’ role isn’t the comic relief – he’s once again playing a dramatic role as he did in “Jumping the Broom.” Mike called the TJMS to talk about the fact that he KNEW he could always perform in more serious roles as opposed to comedy roles but he needed someone to believe in him. He also talks about working with the late Whitney Houston because the movie is dedicated to her. Check the interview for yourself. Go see 'Sparkle', opening in theatres this Friday.
