November 13, 2014 Lori Acken

Aaliyah Haughton — better known as Aaliyah — was the multitalented Brooklyn native who paved the way for superstars like Beyoncé and Rihanna. By the time she boarded a chartered aircraft back to the U.S. after a 2001 Bahamian video shoot, the 22-year-old stunner was a platinum-selling recording artist beginning to make a splash in feature films.

Now Lifetime will chronicle Aaliyah’s journey — from her debut on Star Search at age 10 through the personal and […]

Raising Asia Season 1 comes to a close tonight, we pick up a week before Asia’s big performance at Universal City Walk. Everyone can agree that it’s usually Kristie who is freaking out and micromanaging things as it gets closer to the time of a performance — or, you know, just in general.

It’s no secret that Lifetime has become infamous for their reality television shows dealing with dancing. Shows such as Dance Moms, Bring It! and Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition have attracted huge numbers of fans around the world over the years.

Some may think that she simply […]
