#RepresentationMatters: Marvel Comics Announces New Iron Man Will Be A Black Woman

Marvel Comics Announces New Iron Man Will Be A Black Woman Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis recently sat down with TIME Magazine to discuss the newest twist to the Iron Man storyline and it’s a big one…. There’s a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She’s still working on the name. The events at the end of the comic book event series Civil War II will result in Tony Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit and a new character, Riri Williams, taking over, Marvel tells TIME. (Note: Tony’s departure doesn’t mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.) Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15. She comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm. Creator and Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis spoke exclusively to TIME about the creation of Riri Williams with book artist Stefano Caselli and Marvel’s increasingly diverse cast of characters. So, what has the reception of the new Black Iron Man been like? Some of the comments online, I don’t think people even realize how racist they sound. I’m not saying if you criticize you’re a racist, but if someone writes, “Why do we need Riri Williams we already have Miles?” that’s a weird thing to say. They’re individuals just like Captain America and Cyclops are individuals. All I can do is state my case for the character, and maybe they’ll realize over time that that’s not the most progressive thinking. But can we get some Black writers?? If @marvel needs help finding Black women writers. I can help you with this task. I know plenty. GOOD ones. — Black Girl Nerds (@BlackGirlNerds) July 6, 2016 #RepresentationMatters MARVEL/Time Magazine/Twitter

The End Of Abstinence: Ciara Says She’s “So Nervous But So Excited” To Tie The Knot With Beloved Baller Boo Russell Wilson Today

Ciara Too Excited To Sleep Night Before Wedding Russell Wilson She’s all the way up! As reported Tuesday, Ciara and Russell Wilson held their rehearsal dinner in Liverpool as they prepare to wed today. Cici posted this video of her dancing to “All The Way Up” — undoubtedly her mood as she prepares to marry the love of her life Wednesday. According to E! Online reports : “Ciara has been getting ready all morning. She has all of her bridesmaids helping her,” the insider tells us. “It was hard for her to sleep last night. She is so nervous but so excited for today.” Although the couple hosted a rehearsal dinner Tuesday, Ciara and Wilson went their separate ways when it came time to go to sleep. In keeping with tradition, the couple slept separately. “They were very traditional,” our source adds. As for what Ciara’s wedding day look, we’re told her makeup will appear “golden” and “not that dramatic,” while her hair will have a “very romantic” feel. We’re thinking her wedding day look might look something like this. What do you think? TMZ is reporting that the exact location of the ceremony is completely secret and that guests will have to give up their cellphones: Our sources tell us … the couple is set to swap “I Dos” at a castle in front of roughly 100 of their closest friends and family members. We’re told all guests will be asked to fork over their cell phones — so no one can Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Periscope or MySpace the event. Our sources say the guests will meet at a central location — and will be transported to the mystery wedding location … to ensure privacy. We know these two must be SO excited to finally make things official. Hit the flip for Russell’s reaction. AKM-GSI/Instagram

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’: Why Casting Jim Carrey And/Or Adam Sandler Would Be A Smart Marvel Move

If you need further evidence that Marvel is winning the battle against DC on the comic-book movie front, consider the latest Internet chatter about  the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.   Latino Review , which knows how to work that fan boy beat, reports that Marvel has inquired about the availability of both Jim Carrey  and Adam Sandler for the movie, which is slated to hit theaters on Aug. 1, 2014. It’s unclear what roles Marvel envisions these actors playing, but Latino Review and other blogs have been guessing Rocket Raccoon (whose creation was inspired by the Beatles’s White Album song “Rocky Raccoon”)  and the tree-like Groot are the most plausible, since both are reportedly in the Guardians of the Galaxy script. Given these two superheroes’ non-human appearances, they’ll probably exist as computer-generated characters , and if I’m doing the casting, I’d want the shape-shifting Carrey to play Groot because the character bears a resemblance to the Grinch, which the actor already played (in Ron Howard’s obnoxious adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book), and Sandler as Rocket. Sandler’s biggest hit in a long time was as the voice of the CGI Count Dracula in Hotel Transylvania last year, so I suspect he’ll be up for the gig. Even if Marvel casts just one of these guys, or some equally funny dude,  it’s an astute move because, while the costumes and action sequences in these comic-book movies are fun, it’s the humor that gives them soul and makes them — so far — superior to the DC equivalent. Yes, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy was exceptional, but, given the choice, I’ll take Robert Downey Jr.’s  satisfyingly smart-ass portrayal of Tony Stark and Iron Man every time.

WATCH: Trigger-Happy Melissa McCarthy Looks For Her Boss’ Balls In NSFW Trailer For ‘The Heat’

Dare I say that, based on this trailer, Melissa McCarthy looks like she could actually be funnier in The Heat than she was in Bridesmaids ?  Okay, so I’m one of the minority who didn’t think that the latter film was as hilarious as everyone found it,  so I was pleasantly surprised when this international trailer for Paul Feig and McCarthy’s latest collaboration made me laugh out loud a few times. The plus-sized actress plays a “bad-ass” maverick Boston cop who teams up with “tight-assed” FBI agent Sandra Bullock .  If you guessed that this is one of those movies where McCarthy’s character shows Bullock’s character how to walk on the wild side, you’d be right, but I’m willing to overlook the formulaic conceit based on the scene in which McCarthy proceeds to look for her captain’s “little girl balls” and the one in which she discovers Bullock is wearing Spanx. (As if!) “They hold everything together,” Bullock tells McCarthy. “Why? What’s going to come fuckin’ popping out?” sputters McCarthy. My thoughts exactly. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

True Or False: Did Usher Really Chop Down Two Of Tameka’s Bridesmaids???

The Usher/Tameka custody battle has gotten even messier . Apparently we missed a few juicy tidbits from the courtroom proceedings last week. Fortunately HipHopEnquirer had the full rundown, including how a marriage counselor testified that Tameka told him Ush got his “Climax” on with two of her bridesmaids: Just before the trial concluded on Friday, Attorney Lisa West called to the stand Marriage Therapist Sola Winley who gave direct testimony as to why he believed Tameka Raymond was under a great deal of stress. One of the things that stood out in his testimony was the fact that Tameka told him that Usher had slept with two of her bridesmaids. This revelation apparently didn’t go well with Usher as he stormed out the courtroom during a recess mumbling the words, “Now I am sleeping with her bridesmaids?” Would it surprise you if Ush had hit off a few of Tameka’s friends/bridesmaids? That wasn’t the only damaging evidence presented in the courtroom. Former nannies threw both Ush and Tameka under the bus with details about how much they loved the kids but couldn’t deal with the horrible parenting going on. Nanny Jenny Silva said her interactions with Usher were “not good” and her interaction with Tameka were “terrible”. Ironically Ush testified that he was willing to pay for Silva because he wanted insurance that someone would be with the children at all times because he knew Tameka might be away or not attentive. He cited two instances, one of which was Tameka leaving the house saying she was going to the movies, but being gone for 2-3 days leaving the children with Silva. Silva allegedly had many run-ins with Tameka regarding her lack of parenting, leaving for extended periods of time and not having food in the house. “She (Jenny Silva) was more of a parent to the children than Tameka was at the time,” said Usher. Another issue was Tameka using Silva to care of all four children when she was only hired to care for Cinco and Nayvid. Usher estimated the former couple went through 11 nannies since their divorce. Another nanny Jackie Martin contacted court appointed guardian Dan Bloom via email regarding her fears about the adverse effect the inconsistent schedules were having on the boys. She claimed that after returning from visiting Usher the boys used profanity like “Holy sh*t.” She also reportedly expressed her frustration with Tameka and concern for the kids if she quit. Martin also shared a story about a Miami trip where she was forced to stay in the car with one of the boys for over an hour while Tameka, the other son and a friend with to a Miami Heat game because they didn’t have enough tickets. SMH. This sounds like a damn shame, but they definitely need to be in court if they haven’t gotten it together by now. Do you think the bridesmaids thing was just another reckless accusation by Tameka to make Ush look bad? Source & Photo Credit Continue reading
