Halle Berry is adapting her 1992 movie Boomerang into a TV series.

The 52-year-old actress starred opposite Eddie Murphy in the romantic comedy and she is now teaming up with Master of None writer and actress Lena Waithe to executive produce the TV version for BET.

Speaking about the project, Berry said in a statement: "I'm thrilled to team up with Lena on this project as she is, without a doubt, a leading voice of her generation and a trailblazer in her own right. I'm truly excited to be a part of bringing this iconic and beloved film to the small screen."

Boomerang starred Murphy as hotshot advertising executive and womaniser Marcus Graham who gets a taste of his own medicine when he meets his new boss Jacqueline Broyer played by The Perfect Match actress Robin Givens which forces him to reassess his chauvinistic behaviour and outlook on life.

Berry portrayed his colleague and love interest Angela Lewis.

The new series written by Lena and Ben Cory Jones will focus on the lives of Broyer's son and Graham and Lewis' daughter, as they seek to step out of their parents' shadows.

Actress Tiffany Haddish has urged people to "soak" their genitals because "good hygiene equals good sex".

The 38-year-old has previously admitted she'd love to be a sex education teacher in order to properly educate young people on safe sex, but has now admitted that her first lesson would be all about being hygienic, which she says includes "drowning" your genitals.

When asked during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday, what lesson one would consist of, Haddish said: "Lesson one would be hygiene, because good hygiene equals good sex.

"So women, I would tell the women, the young ladies in my class: Look, you're gonna have to take a bath at least once a week, you gotta drown it. You have to drown it. And put like half a box of baking soda in there to get the pH balance right. You gotta keep your pH balance right," she said. "And fellas? You need to go ahead and put that hot dog in some hot water. Soak that thing, add some baking soda as well. You scratching? That's yeast. That's not just jock itch or whatever, you yeasty, sir! Soak that dog!"
