Samuel L. Jackson Emphasizes the Importance of Voting at NAACP Image Awards

Image Source: Getty / NBC Samuel L. Jackson was the recipient of the prestigious chairman's award at this year's NAACP Image Awards . On Saturday, the 73-year-old actor was honored for his career in film and theater, which spans over four decades. During his acceptance speech, Jackson took the opportunity to speak about the importance of using your voice and voting. "We can put our legs, our bodies, and our voices to work to make sure that people do get out and vote." "I've been fortunate enough to grow up in a lot of different areas where I had the opportunity to use my voice, my legs, my body to fight for things that were right - from civil rights to the Vietnam War to Morehouse College and a lot of other things that needed fixing and changing, and we got it done," Jackson said.

It's not 'Portal 3' but Valve has a new, free Steam Deck game that ties to 'Portal'

Portal fans, rejoice — or rather, bask in the mixed feelings of a new game set in the beloved franchise's universe that isn't at all what you've been clamoring for over the past decade. Just as Steam Deck pre-orders started going out, Valve dropped a surprise trailer for Aperture Desk Job , a free Steam Deck game that's coming on March 1 and is set within the world of Portal . BUT (isn't there always a "but" when it comes to long-awaited continuations of Valve games?), as the description on Steam emphasizes in bolded capital letters, it is " Not Portal 3! " Instead of a long-awaited follow-up to the iconic puzzle game, Aperture Desk Job is characterized as a "walking simulator" and playable short.

In our Q&A series Last Call , we get down to the bottom of every last thing with some of our favorite celebs - from the last time they were starstruck to the last song they listened to. This week, Mary-Charles Jones takes our call. "To get the chance to do something with [Ava DuVernay] and getting to see firsthand why she's so well-respected and why she is such this powerhouse of a woman, has been amazing." When Mary-Charles Jones booked the role of Annabelle in The CW's "Naomi," the first thing she did was run to her nearest comic book store to pick up a few copies of the fairly new DC comic series. "The girl at the comic book store was like, 'Did you know they're making this into a show?' I was like, 'Oh, I had no idea,' and I just kind of walked on out," Jones tells POPSUGAR. And, speaking of booking roles, it was none other than "Naomi" co-creator and executive producer Ava DuVernay who delivered the ex

In the glamorous, cutthroat society of "Bridgerton," if you can't keep up with the ton , you're out. That's exactly the fate that the Featherington family may be facing when season two of the Netflix drama returns. Before the new season starts , it's the perfect time to catch up on why the Featheringtons are in financial trouble and what might await them.

Over time, he has lost so much that he is constantly having to juggle things around to pay off his debts.
