In her sixties, Tina Knowles Lawson has established herself as a voice and presence, both online, for the arts with her WACO Theater and as a philanthropist. As such Knowles-Lawson was tasked with presenting a humanitarian award to Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth.
The two met in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey devastated the city of Houston, Texas.
And this past weekend, Knowles-Lawson honored Trae by presenting him with the Billboard Changemaker Award for his humanitarian work.
While she was there, of course people asked her a thing or two about her famous children. And Knowles-Lawson who is known for keeping it real, told the truth. In gushing about the time she’s been able to spend with her grandchildren, Knowles-Lawson also shared what her older babies are doing these days.
“My daughter is busy working on something exciting, as usual. Both of my daughters…all three of daughters are.”
Now, Beyonce is known for surprising her fans with new projects and goes through great lengths to keep projects a secret. But we’re sure she won’t mind her mother giving us a little sneak peek into what’s to come.
Whether it’s a tour, a new album or some other type of project, we’ll be keeping our eyes open and our coins ready in case it requires a bit of a splurge.

When I see this clock, I just hear Steamboat Willie whistling merrily along. It’s a cute, yet functional option for those who really want to throw it back to old school Disney.

If you’ve ever seen Cinderella, then you’ll know how important this scene is in the movie. Jaq and Gus are running from Lucifer to give Cinderella the key to release herself from her locked chamber. Now, you can have this vital scene in your child’s nursery because Disney is all about the little details.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a very good boy! Krypto the Super-Dog is set to make his big screen debut in Warner Bros.’ upcoming animated movie DC League of Super-Pets. And Krypto will be voiced by none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The film follows Superman’s dog Krypto, who teams up with a flying cat to stop crime while Supes is on vacation. Jared Stern (The LEGO Batman Movie) will write and direct along with co-director Sam Levine (Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero).
No other casting announcements have been made yet, but you can probably expect an A-list cast to join Johnson. Krypto, created by writer Otto Binder and artist Curt Swan, first appeared in a Superboy story in Adventure Comics #210 (March 1955). Designed as a one-off character, Krypto quickly grew a fan base of his own, because who on Earth doesn’t love dogs?

Krypto was originally Kal-El’s dog, whom Jor-El used to test his rocket that would take Kal-El to Earth (not cool, Jor-El). Krypto’s rocket was knocked off-course, lost for years before eventually landing on Earth where he teamed up with Superboy. Krypto continued to pop up in comics and animated films before landing his own show on the Cartoon Network in 2005. Krypto the Superdog ran for two seasons before cancellation. A live-action Krypto appeared in the series Smallville, as well as DC Universe/HBO Max’s Titans.
This will be Johnson’s second entry into the DC universe, following his starring role as super-villain Black Adam in the film of the same name.
DC League of Super-Pets is set to hit theaters on May 20, 2022.
