Michael B Jordan & Tessa Thompson On Creed 2 Bodies, Black Love & More | Extra Butter

Go here to see the original:

Creed 2 is coming back bigger and better than ever. For Adonis the stakes are higher this time around, fighting is nothing new to him, he had to fight for everything he’s got so far so it’s no surprise that he will have to fight even harder to keep it. On today’s episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine we take a deep dive into Creed II as we chat with Michael B Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren , and Florian Munteanu as well as director Steven Caple Jr, who was hand-picked by Ryan Coogler to take over the franchise. In order to fully understand this story, you gotta go back to 1985 when Russian boxer Ivan Drago killed Adonis’s father Apollo Creed in a tragic match that stunned the world. The former heavyweight champion died on live tv after fighting Ivan against the wishes of trainer Rocky Balboa. Rocky had to get into the ring with Ivan to avenge his friend’s death, but after that loss Ivan loss everything back home in Russia and has trained his son Viktor to be bigger and better than he was in his prime. So the rise of Apollo’s son Adonis Johnson Creed to champion, Ivan feels like this is the perfect time for redemption in order to get back all that was lost. Michael B Jordan gets to show off his acting ability in this movie by showing strength, emotion, athleticism and much more. He laughs, cries and fights all throughout this film. I talked to him about showing off his range. “It was incredible. This was the first time I’ve been able to do a sequel to any film that I’ve done before. I get to take this character to the next level, to show Adonis advance in his career and his relationship by really showing what black love really is. Giving him a family of his own, fatherhood something he never really knew how to do because he didn’t really have that growing up. We just wanted to challenge him in all aspects of life and see how he responds to it.” The visuals for this film are off the hook, if you have seen the trailer you know there is a dope sequence when Adonis trains as Muhammad Ali trained by shadow boxing underwater. Steven told me, “We wanted to pay homage but also we did something that was new, which was shadowboxing underwater and then lift out of the water with Michael, and the camera then goes back under water. It’s real boxing stuff. Michael also had ankle weights attached to his body so he could stay under which was super dangerous but it helped keep him grounded.” It’s an epic shot for an amazing movie filled with great fight sequences and a heartfelt story. Michael even took a punch to the chin when first-time actor Florian Munteanu got too wrapped up in his character and blacked out. Watch until the end of the video to hear that story. Creed 2 is in theaters everywhere tomorrow.

Javi Marroquin: Kailyn Lowry and Lauren Comeau Will NEVER Be Friends!

Last night, the world learned that Javi Marroquin and Lauren Comeau have welcomed a child . The baby boy is Javi’s second child and Lauren’s first. As Javi pointed out in a video message to fans, this is an exciting time for the young couple for a number of reasons. Not only did he just welcome a second son, his firstborn is about to turn 5, and Javi announced this week that he’ll soon enter the world of celebrity boxing. “So with this boxing fight and the birth of my new son, probably wasn’t a good idea to do it on the same day,” Marroquin said in the video. “I have a quick second, so many people texting me and calling me I’ve been ignoring everything.” On top of all that Javi and Lauren recently bought a house together . So we think it’s safe to say she’ll be sticking around for a while. And that may not sit well with Javi’s first baby mama. As we’ve reported before, Lauren and Kailyn Lowry do not get along . And it doesn’t look as though that will be changing any time soon. Javi admits that he’s not thrilled with the situation and wishes Kail and Lauren could find some common ground. But he also says he won’t be forcing the issue: “I tell Lauren this all the time, I think we’re just gonna let it flow and let it happen naturally, so whenever we cross paths and they just talk and stop and meet, I mean, we’re not gonna force it,” Javi recently told Us Weekly . “We’re not gonna set up a dinner date or whatnot,” he added. “We’re gonna see each other at sporting events, like basketball is starting up again in the winter, but we’re just gonna let it happen naturally and when it happens, it happens.” We guess that’s the mature approach to take here. Now, let’s see if everyone sticks with it. Asked about the rumors that Kail has a new boyfriend, Javi was similarly non-committal: “Kail is pretty open with me as far as communication, so if it’s true, I mean I’m sure she’ll tell me soon,” he told Us . “I think I tell this to Kail all the time, you know, she deserves a lot. She’s a very hard worker and it’s a shame that she’s … I don’t want to see her settle, so I tell her all the time, ‘Know your worth and don’t settle for anyone. Your time will come.’ “I just want her to know that you know, she’s special and someone out there will be great for her. I just don’t want her to get caught up with any bad guys and see her cry or any of the stuff like that and that’s really it.” It’s great that Javi has Kail’s best interests at heart.  Now if only he felt that way when they were together.

Piers Morgan Shames Daniel Craig for Wearing a Papoose, Gets Roasted by Chris Evans

International troll Piers Morgan took a break from body-shaming plus size models to put a different category of people on blast. This time, he went after James Bond actor Daniel Craig for wearing a baby harness while carrying his baby. Morgan claims that it's “emasculating,” and was epicly shut down by Chris Evans — along with countless dads everywhere. As you will see in greater detail in the video that we have included, James Bond actor Daniel Craig was spotted with his baby. Craig was wearing a papoose, which most of us would think of as a front-facing baby carrier, which is a pretty standard piece of gear for parents. But this just didn't sit right with noted troll Piers Morgan, who took to Twitter to voice his terrible opinion. “Oh 007.. not you as well?!!!” Morgan exclaimed with disdain. He then made the subject of his frustration clear, writing: ” # papoose # emasculatedBond.” That's right — in Piers Morgan's twisted view of gender, a father carrying his baby using a baby carrier is “emasculating.” If you think that he was being absolutely ridiculous, you're right — and Captain America actor Chris Evans agrees. “You really have to be so uncertain of your own masculinity to concern yourself with how another man carries his child,” Evans asserts. He continues: “Any man who wastes time quantifying masculinity is terrified on the inside.” He's absolutely right. Piers Morgan doubled down on his awful view. (Though, to be clear, getting defensive and never admitting that he's wrong is his whole brand) Morgan then went so far as to try to Brit-splain Captain America to the actor who has played him for the better part of the last decade. “Captain America,” Morgan asserts. “Wouldn't wear a papoose.” In his mind, because Captain America is a strong man, he would only carry a baby in his arms and would never wear something that would make his baby comfortable and safer. And apparently he would never wear something that would free his hands to perform other tasks while looking after a baby. This is … absolutely absurd. Piers was a target of ridicule from plenty of others. “Imagine believing carrying your own baby in public is emasculating,” mocked a critic. “He’s not carrying it, that’s my point,” Morgan asserted. “He’s using an emasculating papoose.” Morgan continued: “James Bond would never use a papoose to carry his babies.” “Papoose-gate going global tonight,” Piers tweeted, presumably with glee. “A lot of VERY angry papoose-lovers screaming abuse at me.” In case there was any doubt, he added: “FYI: It won’t change my mind about papooses – they are ridiculous instruments of emasculation.” (Piers Morgan got pied in the face in front of his Good Morning Britain colleagues over this, which is a waste of perfectly good pie) A lot of men snapped selfies of themselves carrying their babies in papooses, but Morgan dismissed that as “virtue signaling.” “I just expressed a genuinely held opinion that papooses are emasculating, embarrassing & unnecessary,” Morgan says. “And the virtue-signalling world's gone bonkers.” Virtue signaling is arguably a real thing, but has become one of those red flag terms almost exclusively used by terrible people. “One thing's clear after tonight's ferocious Papoose-gate debate: we need a new James Bond. A 007 who looks sharp in a tux & wouldn't be seen dead in a papoose” Tom Ellis, a devilishly handsome British actor who plays the titular character on Lucifer, joined the criticism only to be singled out by Morgan. “God gave you arms for a reason Tom,” Morgan insists. “Use them & stop being so lazy.” (Lazy? We thought that he was concerned about emasculation?) “You are absolutely right,” Tom replied heatedly. “Is it time for a charity boxing match? Against you I mean?” Now that would be a sight. In real life, we know that carrying a baby on a harness is much safer for the baby, especially in crowds or on walks or hikes. There are also some xenophobic and misogynist undertones (no, overtones) to his argument, as papooses are common in many cultures, and he has singled out men on this issue. But Morgan was insisting that his view is genuine, rather than an effort to troll for attention. Genuinely feeling this way is worse than being desperate for reactions. We're hardly the first to say it, but Piers Morgan really is the human embodiment of the old-man-yells-at-cloud meme. It's not a good look.

Deven Davis: How Did Korn Frontman’s Wife Die?

In August, Deven Davis, wife of Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, was found dead . This was a tragedy for her family and for her loved ones. Now, her heartbreaking cause of death has been revealed. On August 18, Deven Davis passed away. She was only 39 years old. According to autopsy results obtained by TMZ , the cause of death was five different drugs in her system. The report says that Deven had cocaine, heroin, clonazepam, topiramate, and fluoxetine in her system. Cocaine and heroin are both illegal, and are very different drugs. The others are another matter. Clonazepam is a fairly tame benzodiazepine that can be used to treat anxiety. Topiramate has a few uses, one of the most common to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches. Flueoxetine is a fairly standard serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Most people know this medication as Prozac. The cause of death was ruled accidental. The medical examiner’s office believes that the lethal combination of drugs was an unintentional tragedy. Jonathan Davis spoke out on Instagram several days after her passing. “Over the last few days,” he wrote at the time. “There has been a lot of speculation over what really happened surrounding the death of my wife, Deven.” He continued: “and I want my voice to be heard.” “Over the past decade, my wife has been very very sick,” he revealed. He explained: “She had a serious mental illness and her addiction was a side effect.” “I loved her with ALL of my being,” Jonathan gushed. “When she was her true self, she was an amazing wife, amazing mother and amazing friend.” “She was full of life and joy, and she would do anything to share that with those around her,” he wrote. Jonathan admitted that he had “tried to hide what was going on.” He shared that he did this “in order to protect her.” “She is the reason I have advocated so hard for those struggling with their mental health,” he explained. “I want her story to inspire people to reach out for help,” Jonathan wrote. “And not to be afraid or hide from their illness.” “If you know someone with a mental illness,” he implored. “Have compassion and empathy, and know that they are not bad people, they are suffering.” Jonathan shared that, as a facet of her illness, the mother of two of his three sons never understood “how sick she really was.” “I’d give anything to have the chance to hold her again,” Jonathan confessed. “I’d give anything for my kids to have their mother back,” he wrote. Jonathan said: “I have comfort in knowing that now she has found freedom from her illness, and she is finally at peace.” “I swear one day I’ll be there with you by your side when my ride here on earth is over,” he concluded. “I love you, Luber.” That is devastating and must have been incredibly difficult to write, especially just days after her tragic passing. We hope that his fans and followers will listen to his heartfelt message. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Gia Giudice Makes Desperate Plea to Inmate Father

We often mock Teresa Giudice and members of her family. It’s typically for good reason, too. Teresa is just so self-centered and spoiled and she lacks any semblance of self-awareness and she broke the law awhile back by lying about her finances and has never really shown a hint of remorse. This is all true. But it can all be true and we can still feel very badly for her kids. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Joe Giudice really will face deportation after he completes his current prison sentence. This had been rumored ever since Joe entered jail on tax evasion charges, but a judge dropped the deportation hammer once and for all in immigration court on Wednesday morning. “Based upon the law, I find you deportable and ineligible for any kind of relief,” the judge said at the hearing, according to various sources, adding: “Mr. Giudice, no matter how this turns out, I wish you the best. I decided this case as a matter of law.” This is obviously quite a blow to Teresa and her four kids. Joe is due for release next year, at which time, unless something significant changes, he will be sent back to his native country of Italy. While various members of The Real Housewives community have reacted in sadness to this development, 17-year old daughter Gia Giudice is now here to speak out for the first time since the decision was handed down. The oldest child of Joe and Teresa, Gia has shared a video created by a man named Fred Rubino. In this footage, he called for an appeal of Joe’s impending deportation, alleging that the ruling on Giudice’s case was “racist” and “political” because Joe is Italian.  That seems like quite the unverified leap, but Gia appears to concur. “Spread the word, could’ve said it better myself.” Gia wrote in the caption. “I love you daddy, let’s fight this! @fredrubino.” The despondent and angry teenager also shared a throwback photo on her Instagram Story of herself as a little girl holding onto Joe’s shoulders, and wrote on the image: “New post!!!! Spread the word, let’s fight.” It’s quite the image, that much is certain: For whatever it’s worth, Teresa was not in the courtroom Wednesday when the judge made his ruling. Joe now has 30 days to file an appeal; which we’d have to imagine he will do. For those wondering… Yes, Giudice has lived in America since he was a child. However, he never obtained American citizenship , and immigrants can be deported from the United States if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law. Does that seem unfair? Not to Donald Trump, probably. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! Although Teresa has thus far remained silent on the ruling, a source told People Magazine that she “never imaged Joe would really get deported.” Adds this insider: “This is going to break her. She always knew that this was a possibility, but she put it out of her head. That’s the only way she could go on living day to day.” In this one instance, we actually do feel badly for her.

Hoopz to Farrah Abraham: Im’ma Knock You the F–k Out!

You know how Teen Mom villain Farrah Abraham is trying to be a celebrity boxer now? Well, she’s going to fight fellow reality television personality Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander. And Nicole is promising that, when she’s face to face with Farrah, she won’t pull any punches — literally. On Wednesday, Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander spoke to Detroit’s WJLB radio station, and as The Ashley notes, promised that she won’t hold back. “I’m gonna get in there and fight for real,” she promises of her November 10 fight with Farrah. “She’s an opponent,” Nicole reasons. They may be doing this for entertainment, but it’s not a tickle fight. “The people are coming out to see a fight,” Nicole says. And she plans to give it to them. Nicole also talks about why fans should believe that she’s looking forward to blowing off some steam. “At the end of the day, we walk around as celebrities,” she explains. The go on television to play roles “and we can’t touch anybody [on the shows we’re on].” It sounds like this experience could be as cathartic for Nicole as it will be for the countless people who hate Farrah. “So you’re giving me an opportunity to get in the ring and I can actually take something out on somebody else?!” Nicole says. “How am I gonna get in there and half-ass something?” Nicole asks. That is a very fair point. “[On reality shows] I didn’t [fight],” she explains. Nicole says that the reason for that was “because there’s a clause [in your contract that says] you cant put your hands on nobody.” That is a very sensible clause for any reality show. But in the ring, when the literal gloves go on, the figurative gloves come off. Nicole is very aware of Farrah’s ridiculous training efforts. “She’s training as hard as she can train,” Nicole says charitably. Nicole then gets a little less charitable as she suggests that she is more than qualified to knock Farrah into next week. “I’m probably over-training,” Nicole admits. You know how Farrah has been going to the gym half-naked as part of her “training” program? Nicole is all-too aware of it. “I feel like she’s going to not even have a sports bra on,” Nicole jokes about their upcoming fight. Nicole says: “She’s been training half naked.” In fact, Farrah worked out in lingerie on a camgirl site … and auctioned off the underwear she was wearing for cash afterwards. To be clear, she’s not shaming Farrah for taking off her clothes. As you can see above, Nicole has posed in lingerie before. She just knows how to separate stripping down from gearing up for a fight. Nicole even jokes that Farrah may just strip naked for their fight in November. Which, to be fair, would absolutely fit Farrah’s brand. “She may come out in some nothingness,” Nicole suggests. That would be quite something. But Nicole suggests that it’s fine if she does. “It don’t matter,” Nicole says confidently. “That’s how she’s gonna fall asleep.” Dang. Those are fighting words. Literally. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Announces New Career Plan: I’m Gonna Work Out in Lingerie For Camgirl Ca$h!

Details Are Scarce In Death Of HBCU Student Shot By Security Guard

Read more:

M ore than two weeks have passed since a security guard killed an HBCU student for supposedly breaking into cars at an off-campus apartment complex parking lot in North Carolina. DeAndre Ballard, who was a senior at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) in Durham, was shot the night of Sept. 17, but that was pretty much the only fact that was established as local law enforcement has kept quiet about most other details protesters have been demanded ever since. Questions have gone unanswered in the suspicious killing of HBCU student DeAndre Ballard in North Carolina. @NCCU #JusticeForDeAndreBallard https://t.co/DfTLiHPBAa pic.twitter.com/j5kruYrQU4 — NewsOne (@newsone) October 1, 2018 Some of the key questions that could be answered may lie in the 911 calls that were placed after the shooting. However, a local news reporter tweeted that the 911 call, or calls, were not being released, even though it’s fairly customary to release them to the public under such controversial circumstances. Day 15 since #DeAndreBallard 's shooting: Durham police investigators have not released any details about the investigation, nor the 911 call(s) made that night. Police have only explained why they took days to identify Ballard. — Derrick Lewis (@DerrickQLewis) October 2, 2018 The frustrating development came one day after NCCU students coordinated a campus protest by walking out of class Monday morning to demand justice for their fallen 23-year-old classmate. The organizer of the walkout, Jamie Lyn Riggin, said she wanted to increase awareness to the shooting that hasn’t seemed to register a blip on the national media radar. “We don’t stand for things like this to continue to happen,” Riggin reportedly told the group of students who participated in the walkout. “We have pride here as Eagles, and if we are gonna soar, we are gonna soar as one,” she said, referring to the NCCU mascot. HAPPENING NOW: Students at #NCCU walkout of class in protest for #DeAndreBallard pic.twitter.com/VSEKAKTsf4 — Derrick Lewis (@DerrickQLewis) October 1, 2018 That walkout followed a weekend protest in downtown Durham. The company that still employs the security guard who killed Ballard has defended the deadly shooting by repeating a familiar refrain heard after shootings by law enforcement. “We fully, 100 percent stand by his actions because this was self-defense,” Kevin Ladd, vice president of the N.C. Detective Agency, told the Herald Sun . “In our eyes this is a tragic accident. It never should have gotten to this, but our officer was fearful for his life.” Ballard’s friends and family were adamant that breaking into cars was “out of character” for the physical education major. Students on Monday also questioned how sincere NCCU’s response to Ballard’s shooting was, seemingly trying to distance itself from the incident instead of sympathizing and empathizing. “The university is not associated with and does not have any contractual agreement with Campus Crossings, an independently-owned residential apartment complex,” NCCU said in a statement released Sept. 27. “The NCCU police department officers have no jurisdiction or connection with the Campus Crossings apartment complex nor with the security officer involved in the incident.  NCCU does not endorse or recommend any specific rental property for students. Additionally, the university does not utilize the security services of the N.C. Detective Agency and does not hire any officers employed with this particular agency.” Ballard’s killing came amid a spate of violence on or near HBCU campuses.  A man was killed Friday  near the campus of Southern Universty in Baton Rouge. One day earlier, a Morehouse College student was  carjacked and robbed  of his belongings near the school’s campus in Atlanta. Three  Florida A&M  University students had  a gun pulled on them  in an elevator at an off-campus apartment building in Tallahassee on Sept. 10.

Watch Michael B. Jordan Introduce The ‘Creed II’ Trailer To An Unexpecting Audience

Read more here:

Source: Paras Griffin/VMN18 / Getty Michael B. Jordan was tired of watching the Creed II trailer on his phone, so he stopped by a theater in NYC to watch it on the big screen. The hunky star surprised a lucky (very, very lucky) audience with his presence when he introduced a special showing of the Creed II trailer for the first time. Jordan stars as Adonis Creed in the highly anticipated sequel directed by Steven Caple Jr. (who fills in for Ryan Coogler this round). Like it’s predecessor, Adonis faces the biggest fight of his life. But this time around, so much more is at stake as he faces off against the son of the man, Ivan Drago, who killed his father in the Rocky franchise. Adonis, who now has a child, struggles with balancing his family life and fulfilling his legacy. Jordan underwent intense workouts to achieve his Creed body, which well see on screen as well in a familiar Rocky-like essence. “It was tough on my body this time around,” Jordan told IGN , “cause I’m a little bit older. I’m not saying I’m too far gone, but at 31 things are a lot different than at 26, 27. It’s just getting back into boxing shape. Boxing shape is a different thing. Just spending hours in the gym. Doing the rounds, working on your hand coordination, throwing punches. Diet was a lot stricter on this one; because I had to lean out as much as I could. Yes. It was just more intense this time around.” Creed II hits theaters November 21.
