They're so bad you love to hate them or you hate to love them.  Elizabeth Gillies/The CW  1. Fallon Carrington (Elizabeth Gillies) On Dynasty- She's business smart, goal oriented and a Carrington.

Entertainment Avenue: The Love Gala,A Garden Your Heart Movie! Sunshine Films Florida/Official Movie Poster. This weekend we recommend The Love Gala a romantic comedy drama flick that will definitely get you in the mood for Christmas cheer, it's not a Christmas movie but it's so empowering with themes of friendship,love, goals and identity which are relevant. It fits the classic structure of a romantic comedy with charm, a gorgeous lead actress (Lesa Wilson) with onscreen energy making her have chemistry with the other characters that carries the story, keeping it interesting even during the filler moments. The Love Gala follows the story of Kate Lord who is the daughter of Laura Lord (Sallie Glaner) the owner of the biggest fashion magazine who seems too caught up in her work, dismissive and overly critical. Kate seeks her mother's approval and feels she's not good enough till she's given the chance to prove herself by standing out or blending in to the same patte...

Avenue Music: King Driez is A Certified Trap Baby! With a proper comeback project King Driez has properly reintroduced himself into the music scene with an interesting extended play that is pretty much cohesive with strong progression and mood maintenance as the tone doesn't get strange that it feels out of place but it all comes together through chill, hauntingly flavourful arrangements.  The title track which is the lead single is madness meets the sound and it's genius as he's one of the few artists that know how to instrumentalize his voice into something of a force vocally, as he's distinct, already stands out. Productions from Blxck 12 and..... Featuring artists like Eric Jr.  A lot of the songs carry their own theme but also work well as a collective which showcases that he really planned out this project very well. He didn't get random tracks together and called it a day. He put in the work. He traps his way into good music, flowing with elegance...

Avenue Lifestyle: How to Get Over Him/Her - Relationship cancelled after One Season!  Unsplash Images/ Jonathan Borba Welcome back to Avenue Lifestyle. It's the 11th month of the year and we're talking how to get over your ex. It's not easy but sometimes you have to close that chapter no matter how much you love them or how much they hurt you. You just have to take that step and move on than to wait for something that'll never be.  We often fool ourselves with the best possible intentions/outcomes or a false version of events based on our feelings of how we love them and not what they did or how things really turned out. Making us ignore the impact because we love how good the honeymoon phase was so we want to relive it and blindside the obvious obstacles or burned bridge which is beyond repair and us attempting to rebuild means it's one sided effort, we meet ourselves halfway and try to drag our former lover into the situation so they can see a repair that only you...
