What In The Weekend With Nikki Woods: It Pays To Be Expendable

Wesley Snipes is back in the third and latest installment of the Expendables franchise and we’re not mad about that. He joins Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham in the action adventure film where the good guys try to overcome the bad guys and a lot of things blow up. Got it?

If you’re chilling at home this weekend, Purple Rain is on and that’s always a good thing. Katt Williams’ new HBO standup debut and if you know Katt, you know it’s going to be hilarious. Keyshia Cole and Maxwell continue their tours around the country as do the Wayans Brothers.

Whatever you do, be safe. Here’s what else is going on this weekend.
