Hopkins' place in pop music history was cemented as a founding member and vocalist of the multiplatinum selling trio Tony Orlando & Dawn.  The group's classic hits include "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," "Candida," "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)," and "Knock Three Times."  At the height of their popularity, Tony Orlando & Dawn (Telma Hopkins & Joyce Vincent) starred in their own weekly prime time mega-hit variety television show on CBS from 1974-1976 as a replacement for 'The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.'  Guest stars on the 'TO&D Show' included Hollywood luminaries and celebrities of the era like comedy giants Phyllis Diller, George Carlin, and Freddie Prince, sports legends Hank Aaron and Rosie Grier, actors Jackie Gleason, Danny Thomas, Milton Berle, and Ted Knight, as well as actresses like Loretta Swit and Anne Meara.  Following a successful run in the music game with Tony Orlando & Dawn, Hopkins has created a place for herself as one of the most successful actresses in American television history.  When most actresses may spend an entire career trying to book just one hit series, she has managed to land starring roles in several hit shows.  Peep a few of her credits below: The Tony Orlando & Dawn Show (1974-1976) CBS Bosom Buddies (1980-1982) ABC Gimme a Break! (1981-1987) NBC Getting By (1993-1994) ABC & NBC Family Matters (1989-1998) ABC Half & Half (2002-2006) UPN Are We there Yet? (2010 -2012) TBS Partners (2014) FX Lab Rats (2012-2014) Disney XD K.C. Undercover (2015) Disney Channel Telma Hopkins Fun Facts: In 1979, Hopkins starred in a short-lived comedy series on ABC called 'A New Kind of Family' with a young actor named Rob Lowe. Telma starred in JD Lawrence's hit stage play "Clean Up Woman" with fellow TV comedy fan favorite Jackee Harry (227). She does a better impression of Steve Urkel's laugh from the iconic ABC sit-com "Family Matters" than actor Jaleel White who actually plays Steve Urkel! You can see her playing the mother of actor Romany Malco (40 Year Old Virgin/Think Like A Man) in the looney Mike Myers film "The Love Guru." After watching an episode of The Tony Orlando & Dawn Show with her grandmother at home in Detroit, Telma was told, "The show was great... now go and empty the trash." She considers her super cool & handsome son, "My greatest work!" Enjoy this exclusive interview with legendary singer/actress Telma Hopkins on The Lilal Network Live From Hollywood!

Created by childhood cancer activist and humanitarian Brittiana Rene Henderson as a pre-teen, BrittiCares Int'l is dedicated to "Helping Children Survive Cancer One Smile At A Time." As a resilient cancer patient, Brittiana thoroughly understood what it felt like to battle and live with cancer. At 10 years of age, Brittiana was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer).  She later went into remission for 14 months before developing leukemia at the age of 12.  Following a valiant one year fight with leukemia, Brittiana passed away. According to her loving father and mother, Jamie and Shirell Henderson, it was rare to find Brittiana without a smile on her face while enduring the painful challenges of her cancer.  Mr. and Mrs. Henderson affectionately recall that Brittiana would often say, "I'm smiling because I'm living." This is precisely the same smile Brittiana worked tirelessly to put on the faces of other children battling cancer, while in the midst of her own cancer struggles. Today, BrittiCares Int'l continues its mission of assisting children living with cancer and helping their families combat the emotional obstacles that accompany sickness and its uncertainties through a variety of programs designed to create awareness, uplifting support, and family involvement. BCI believes that "Every Life Has a Purpose, And Every Child Deserves The Opportunity To Smile."  Some of BCI's programs and events include: Imagine Me Programs - Celebrity Connection, Pick-A-Party, Patient Imagination, and the BCI signature 'Imagine Me' Bedroom Makeovers.  The BCI personalized theme bedroom makeover is one of the greatest ways to lift a child's spirit and create a space filled with love, optimism, happiness, hope, and healing. Inpatient Programs - New Patient Care Bags, Holiday Smiles, Adopt-A-Family, and Patient Party Times, which are parties held in a hospital setting that bring laughter and fun to the patient's bedside. Blood & Marrow Drives - BrittiCares hosts annual Blood and Marrow drives to create awareness regarding the prevalence of childhood cancer, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, other serious blood diseases, and the need for more blood donors. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Brittiana Smile For Life 5K Run/Walk is BCI's flagship cancer awareness and fundraising event powered by family and friends, volunteers, hospital, community, and celebrity supporters, along with a growing roster of generous sponsors - all of whom work in concert to change lives.

Lopez is poised for super stardom as the only Latin artist on the roster of one of today's most influential and popular record labels - Cash Money Records/Universal Motown.  T popped by the studio to chill with The Lilal Network Live From Hollywood and rap about her hot collabo with AB Quintanilla called Mentirosa, her forthcoming debut album with Cash Money, and her love of Mariachi music.   Among the artists housed under the same record company umbrella are Lil'Wayne, Drake, Baby, Nicki Minaj, and Jay Sean.  Add to this mix a versatile singer/songwriter like T. Lopez equipped with hit-producing skills capable of rocking audiences in English, as well as Spanish, and Cash Money has the makings of another bankable artist for their superstar-filled recording family. A native of Ontario, California, also referred to as the "I.E.," which stands for Inland Empire, T. Lopez got her big break after auditioning over the phone in the bathroom of her parents home for a talent scout named Nick Martinez.  After hearing T sing Amazing Grace, Martinez told T that he would call her when he had something for her. True to his word, Martinez eventually called T about an audition for the 4-member female group Soluna, who at the time were scrambling to fill a vacancy for a fourth singer and were managed by legendary entertainment executive/producer Suzanne de Passe.  T scored a spot in the group and hit the road touring with Soluna shortly thereafter. Although T enjoyed great success with Soluna touring with Latin royalty like Marc Anthony and Enrique Iglesias, Soluna survived the release of only one hit album in 2002 titled For All Time.  The ladies later tried to launch a television series based on the journey of how Soluna came together, which co-starred Mario Lopez and Tony Plana, but the series didn't last beyond the pilot episode.  Soluna later disbanded following futile attempts to make another album together. Over the last few years, T has worked relentlessly to establish herself as a solo singer/songwriter, actress, and TV personality.  In addition to performing at numerous events and showcases throughout the US and abroad, T was invited to join Spain's Los del Rio on the 2009 remix of their mega-hit anthem Macarena, which also featured rapper Yeyo from The DEY, and El Chino DreadLion.  While she's known for hosting Si TV's The Drop, as an actress, T's television credits include work on The Brother's Garcia, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, CSI, The Ghost Whisperer, Charmed, South of Nowhere, Days of Our Lives, and Terriers. On the big screen, T has flexed her acting chops in the films Hollywood Kills, April Fools, 21 & A Wake Up, and The Boys & Girls Guide To Getting Down. Under the leadership and guidance of Cash Money founders Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Baby" Williams, along with the support of Young Money Records founder and Rap music icon Lil'Wayne, T Lopez's debut albums in English and Spanish are set to become smash hits.
