Mo Money: Amazon Closes $13 Million Deal For New Mindy Kaling Comedy About Diversity In Writers Rooms

Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Mindy Kaling To Star In Comedy About Diversity In Writers Rooms Amazon just closed a $13 million deal for Late Night , a comedy about diversity in a late night talk show writers room that is written, produced, and stars Mindy Kaling . This marks the first major sale out of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. Late Night is set to co-star Emma Thompson as a comic who begrudgingly takes an Indian-American writer (played by Kaling) under her wing after she is shamed into hiring more women and minorities. In  her cover story  for  Variety , Kaling said that she saw Late Night as a chance to retell a familiar story of someone trying to break into the entertainment business, but from a fresh perspective. “So much of this movie is about being a fan and being on the outside of the entertainment business,” she told  Variety . “That story has been told many, many, many times by 52-year-old white men, and I love all those movies. And as a comedy nerd I’ve always identified with them because it was the closest thing that I could identify with. There was no one like me making those kind of films.” Late Night was originally set up at Fox 2000 with Paul Feig slated to direct the comedy, but plans changed following Kaling’s pregnancy and an illness in Thompson’s family resulted in the start date getting pushed back. Once production finally began, Kaling lined up independent financing and tapped Nisha Ganatra to direct. Late Night also co-stars John Lithgow, Amy Ryan, and Ike Barinholtz.

Should’ve Just Sat There: Producer Accuses Princess Nokia Of Jacking Song She Originally Accused Ariana Grande Of Stealing

Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Princess Nokia’s Ariana Grande Accusations Backfire Yesterday we reported that a modestly known NYC based rapper named Princess Nokia accused Ariana Grande of plagiarizing her song , well now that story has a twist to it. Princess Nokia’s producer is now being accused of stealing that exact song from another producer, complete with the melody. The producer claims the song was apart of a sample pack, that neither Nokia nor her producer paid for, “Your producers stole this from our first sample pack smh oshimakesmusic made that melody.” your producers stole this from our first sample pack smh @oshimakesmusic made that melody https://t.co/k5o2Qgu61u — producedbykrs. (@producedbyKrs) January 18, 2019 Since making the bold accusations, Nokia has deleted her original tweet. Yesterday t he internet blew up over the issue , with folks validly bringing up that the rap style BOTH women used was pioneered by black men, trap rappers. So who really cares??? Meanwhile, Nokia has also been accused of stealing from singer Kali Uchis. Not just that: she even stole one of Kali Uchis track pic.twitter.com/bk3AXo51pW — SLACKIN' (@ElvisSuljevic) January 18, 2019 Yikes! She should’ve just sat there and ate her rice. Thoughts?

Sophie Turner Slams Piers Morgan: Shut Your Stupid Mouth, Tw-t!

Actors who portray badass characters generally aren’t quite as cool in real life as their onscreen creations. But that might not be the case with Sophie Turner. Sophie is obviously best known for her role as the savvy and uber-resilient Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones . But after today, you might prefer to think of her as Slayer of the Doughy Douche Lord. We’re talking, of course, about Piers Morgan, a man who’s clung to his last remaining shred of relevancy by burying his nose in Donald Trump’s nether regions and adopting the most obnoxious “hot take” extremist stance on every issue to come down the pike. Piers is one of those media figures who’s forever railing against the “snowflake” weaklings who he accuses of undermining the manly virtues that form the foundations of the western world. This, despite the fact that Piers has roughly the same build as the Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons and melts down like Frosty at the Equator every time someone says something mean about him on the internet. Still licking his wounds after waging a losing battle against Ariana Grande fans , Piers has decided to take on the mentally ill. We kid you not. On Wednesday, Piers retweeted an article the unknown-on-this-side-of-the-pond actress Beverley Callard, who is apparently very pissed off that famous people are demonstrating compassion toward people suffering from medical ailments. “Beverley Callard says celebs are trying to make mental health problems ‘fashionable,'” reads the original tweet.   “She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.” What we have here is a couple elderly edgelords presenting an objectively dumb opinion and preemptively patting themselves on the back for all the flak they’re gonna take, as if the impending ratio in any way lends credence to what they’re saying. By their logic, celebrities who speak out against opioid addiction are glamorizing fentanyl. These are the obnoxious blatherings like these might prompt you to respond to Piers directly, but we encourage you to hold off.  For one thing, Morgan has a reputation for reporting his critics as “bullies” and having them confined to Twitter jail. On top of that, Sophie Turner already decimated Piers for you: “Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year,” Turner replied. “But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.” Oof. Piers would probably happily trade places with Theon Greyjoy at this point. All hail Lady Sansa.

Petty Porn Prowess: Thousands Watched Stormy Daniels Fold Laundry In Her Underwear During Trump’s Address

Source: Splash News / Splash News She Had A Fitting Playlist During The Occasion Stormy Daniels is continuing to be perfectly petty towards Trump with some not-so-subtle expressions of a care-free porn star. On the same night 45 made his exhausting television appearance on Tuesday trying to promote his wall , Stormy decided to put on a show for Instagram Live. The 39-year-old adult film star recorded herself folding laundry in nothing but her bra and underwear, according to New York Daily News .  Stormy made the announcement that she would be going live at 9 p.m. EST, the same time Trump was scheduled to give his pro-wall address to America. Pet-TY. “If you’re looking for anything even remotely worth watching tonight at 9pm EST, I will be folding laundry in my underwear for 8 minutes on Instagram live,” she tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. Once Stormy went live, she proceeded to fold her unmentionables while listening to Pink Floyd ‘s “Another Brick in the Wall.” She also ate some delicious chips as her soundtrack switched to Taylor Swift ‘s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” A song aimed at Trump, no doubt. Both Trump’s address and Stormy’s folding ended up being ten minutes total, and Stormy said she attracted 100,000 viewers during her broadcast. She must’ve been satisfied with this number when she playful posted a pic of herself on IG, writing, “Laundry is done!”   Surely, Trump was devastated he missed the live house chores because he was too busy selling crap to the American people. Him and Stormy will forever be linked since Stormy claimed they had a fling back in 2006 while Trump was still married to Melania Trump . While Trump might’ve gotten his orange pebbles off at the time, the experience wasn’t as riveting for Stormy, who described it as “the least impressive sex I’d ever had” in her book Full Disclosure. Our heart goes out to her.
