Issa Rae’s ‘Gossip Girl’ + Kendall Jenner Ditches Victoria’s Secret: Pop Bits
Issa Rae is considering developing a show that follows black teens, and Kendall Jenner finds herself as the face of a new lingerie company. These are today's Pop Bits.
Star and creator of HBO's Insecure Issa Rae has thoughts on all those shows that follow white teens around, and she thinks it's time for one that focuses on African American kids. Given the successes of shows like 90210, Gossip Girl, and basically everything on The CW, Rae's case is fairly strong. Hopefully she'll be able to convince some network or streaming service to give her a shot at making that show a reality.
