Ludacris And Eudoxie's Vacay Has Us Ready To Book Flights To The Amalfi Coast ASAP
Ludacris and his wife Eudoxie Bridges have been vacationing in the stunning coastal town of Ravello, in the province of Salerno, Italy with their two daughters. Ravello is nicknamed the “city of music” and is located on the Amalfi Coast which is a popular travel destination that has several charming towns. In multiple Instagram posts, Eudoxie shared an array of photos from her time there including family moments in their villa, breathtaking views of the coast, and their delicious food.
The mother of two alluded to their family vacation being a long time coming after she captioned one of the posts, “We haven’t done this in a while.🤍🤍.”
With such tantalizing photos, it’s no wonder that the Bridges and many others choose to vacation on the Amalfi Coast. Beyoncé and Jay-Z as well as Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have all called this famed vacation spot their home temporarily.
But there is plenty to do in just Ravello alone. It’s considered one of the best towns on the Amalfi Coast to get panoramic views due to its positioning above the coastline. Check out the top five things to do in the coastal Italian town.

Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte
Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte is a sprawling garden located on a hillside that has gorgeous views of the Salerno Gulf on the Tyrrhenian Sea. The garden also doubles as a wedding venue and one can imagine why.
Boating
If you love being on the water, take a boat and cruise alongside the coast, and see Ravello from below. The vacation town offers many boat tours for small groups or large parties. If you are in town for a romantic getaway, you can also get a private tour for you and your boo.
Hiking
One of the more popular activities on the Amalfi Coast is hiking, specifically hiking from Minori to Ravello or Ravello to Minori. The trail is mostly made up of stairs between the two towns so wearing comfortable shoes is a must. While you are walking, you will be able to take in the views that are stretched along the sea.

Villa Rufolo
Villa Rufolo has beautiful historic buildings that are in an Arabic-Sicilian style from the 13th century. The property also has luscious green gardens and a hotel and every year, it attracts many people to its annual concert series. Not to mention, the views are to die for.
Lido di Ravello (Castiglione)
If you are someone who enjoys lounging around all day at the beach then Lido di Ravello is the place for you. Lido di Ravello is a beach located in a small village and is just as picturesque as the rest of the town. While being on the beach, you get an up close and personal view of the clear, blue waters and you can submerge in it too.

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Tubi has been gaining popularity due to its free sign-up and a vast selection of series and films. According to Deadline, the FAST (free ad-streaming television) service has seen a 14.7% growth from May and now has similar numbers to Disney+. So while many people have joked about Tubi having low-budget movies, the numbers don't lie.
In fact, I was one of those people who didn't get the appeal of Tubi, but the more I watched it, the more I enjoyed the content. They have some of our favorite TV series, such as Scandal and Star, as well as big films like the Fast and Furious franchise and cult classic Love & Basketball.
Tubi even has its own original movies and series that are just as entertaining. But while Tubi is on the come up, some of the low-budget movies and hood movies are still a must-watch. From Tubi originals to the hood movies, we've put together a list of shows and movies to add to your watchlist.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an original Tubi movie that stars Hailey Kilgore (Juke from Power Book III: Raising Kanan), Damon Wayans, and Pam Grier. It's a love story gone awry after a robbery turns deadly, and a young couple faces many challenges to make it out alive.
The Dirty D
The Dirty D is one of the first things I watched on Tubi, as many people highly recommended it. It's a series set in a Detroit club, and it has all the drama you can think of. Murder, drug dealing, cheating, greed, and more.
Black Men Don't Cheat
In this film, a young woman grapples with the death of her husband while also discovering his secret life, which puts her in danger.
Mother May I
This movie fully captivates the overbearing mother. However, the ending will shock you as she goes a little too far.
The Stepdaughter
When a young girl moves in with her dad and his new wife, a series of unfortunate events occurs. This Tubi original will keep your attention with every turn.
These Men For Everybody
These Men For Everybody is a film that highlights the tangled web of friendships and relationships and how you can't trust anybody.
Best Friend
What happens when your best friend is obsessed with you? This movie, which stars Serayah and Marques Houston, answers this very question and takes us on a ride in the process.
What's Done After Dark
What's Done After Dark shows us that everything isn't always what it seems. The twist at the end is a real doozy.
