Lupita Nyong'o learns Xhosa for 'Black Panther' movie
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
'We worked really hard and we tried to speak Xhosa as much as we could. I was like: 'I can say that in Xhosa! I have learned it', says Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong'o. Get all the info and more on Wednesday's 'Hot Goss' with Jane.
Lupita Nyong'o takes Xhosa lessons
'So often we watch American movies that have subtitles in Russian, German and French but so rarely are people asked to listen to an African language and read the subtitles for it. It is the same thing. The fact that this film is working and resonating proves that our languages resonate as well as anything else', says Lupita Nyong'o.
Could Black Panther get any more props? I have yet to hear a negative thing about it. Lupita Nyong'o expressed how difficult it was to learn the Xhosa accent in preparation for her role and the fact that she managed to pull it off is nothing short of amazing.

Katherine Heigl shows off her post-baby body
Losing the baby weight after a pregnancy is no easy feat but Katherine Heigl has opened up about it being possible but losing the weight does take a lot of hard work and is not an overnight process.
I love how Katherine has extended not only pics of her smoking-hot body but also shared commentary that highlights the struggle and dedication it took to get back into shape.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend struggle with a baby name for their son
I love how left field celeb baby names are. From Jamie Oliver's troop, Chris Martin's daughter to Kim K's kids, the names are wild and wonderful.
I'm sure Luna's brother's name will be as equally cool.
