Lex Scott Davis and Shamier Anderson have been added to the cast of A Lot of Nothing, joining Y'lan Noel, who Davis co-starred alongside in The First Purge, as well as Cleopatra Coleman (The Last Man on Earth). Mo McRae is at the helm as a first-time feature director with Emmy and Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo on board as an executive producer.

The plot, written by McRae and Sarah Kelly Kaplan, follows a married couple living in a Los Angeles suburb who is compelled to take dangerous actions when they discover their next-door neighbor is the police officer that just murdered an unarmed motorist.

Davis will play Candy, the pregnant fiancée of Jamal, played by Anderson. Davis and Anderson were also cast in Barry Alexander Brown's civil rights drama, Son of the South, which has Spike Lee, Brown's long-time collaborator, as executive producer.

Inny Clemons, McRae, and Jason Tamasco of Bad Idea are producing the pic with Oyelowo, Kim Hodgert, and Zak Kristofek as exec producers.

Davis was recently cast in the ABC pilot Rebel, playing Katey Sagal's daughter, and will next be seen in Peter Farrelly's Quibi comedy series, The Now, and opposite Jason Mamoa in the Netflix film, Sweet Girl. She's repped by Management 360, CAA, and Jackoway Austen.

Anderson's recent credits include Drake Doremus' Endings, Beginnings and the third season of Amazon's Goliath. Up next for him is Netflix's sci-fi thriller Awake, Joe Penna's Stowaway, with Anna Kendrick and Toni Colette, and AMC's six-part anthology series For Life. He's repped by CAA and Mosaic.

{blackbabes} Alicia Keys details in new memoir being ‘manipulated’ by photographer at 19

At 19 years old, Alicia Keys says she felt "manipulated" and "objectified" by a photographer who made her open her shirt and pull down the top of her jeans.

Keys, 39, detailed the photoshoot in her new memoir, "More Myself," writing that the shutterbug convinced her team he needed to photograph her alone and then told her, "Open up your shirt a little" and "Pull the top of your jeans down a bit in the front."

"My spirit is screaming that something is wrong, that this feels sleazy. But my protests, lodged in the back of my throat, can't make their way out," Keys writes. "I swallow my misgivings, tuck my thumb between the denim and my skin, and obey."

The singer, who at the time was preparing for the release of her debut album "Songs in A Minor," says she went home and cried after the shoot.

"This isn't about me showing some skin, which I'll do on my own terms, for my own purposes, in the coming years," she writes. "It's about feeling manipulated. It's about being objectified."

She said her manager at the time was appalled when he saw the magazine cover a few months later and Keys says she didn't recognize the woman in the photo and was "embarrassed" and "ashamed" of it.

"I now understand why the photographer wanted my team out of that room," she writes. "A nineteen-year-old girl is more pliable than a set of her grown-ass managers."

On the day of the magazine's release, she said she wanted to throw up when she saw it on newsstands.

"I swear that I'll never again let someone rob me of my power," Keys writes, adding, "It's a promise I still work to keep."
