Brown/Getty Images Tom Arnold And Mark Burnett Fight At Emmy Party Last weekend the internet was in a respectability uproar as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj ‘s beef came to a head at New York Fashion Week during Haprer’s Bazaar Icon Ball. While some felt that the Onika earned the on-sight a$$-whoopin’ that Belcalis attempted to administer, others (including Onika) were aghast that such a fracas took place under the judge-y gaze of powerful caucasians . As if people always adhere to the highest decorum at these “prestigious” events. Well, one week later we have another incident of violence at a high-falutin’ Hollyweird shindig and we’ve seen not hide, nor hair of that criticism volleyed at the participants. According to TMZ , Tom Arnold and mega producer Mark Burnett got into a fight at a pre-Emmy party in which Arnold was allegedly choked by Burnett. There is still some discrepancy about who actually attacked who first, with Burnett’s wife claiming they were “ambushed” and Arnold claiming he was defending himself. For those who are wondering who the hell Mark Burnett is, he is the man who created The Apprentice and Donald Trump, like most of his “businesses” just put his name on it. Tom Arnold believes that Burnett is protecting Trump by hiding the alleged on-set recordings where Donnie uses the n-word and many other epithets. After their fight, the dust settled and those in attendance didn’t seem half as rattled at some of the folks screaming bloody murder that Cardi had become violent in the presence of those who are supposed to lead us…TO FREEDOM! Here I am with @TomArnold right after the fight with Mark Burnett tonight. Everyone in LA is shaken. Pre-Emmys Madness. Hold your loved ones tight. #ImWithHer pic.twitter.com/lTIuv9DBRc — billy eichner (@billyeichner) September 17, 2018 Funny how that works. The world didn’t stop spinning because celebs had a tiff.
NurPhoto/Getty Chuck E. Cheese Patron Accidentally Shoots Himself We’re used to hearing about fist fights at Chuck E. Cheese, but the supposedly family friendly franchise—”where a kid can be a kid,” eat pizza, and play games—took child endangerment to new levels over the weekend. If the occasional beat down wasn’t enough to make you think twice about taking your chil’ren to the establishment, this latest story will definitely do it. A 22-year-old Tacoma, Washington patron needed to be hospitalized after he accidentally shot himself in the leg while inside the restaurant, causing both children and adults to panic, NY Post reports. Why he had a gun at Chuck E. Cheese of all places? No one knows. One father who was at the restaurant for a birthday party when the shot rang off said, “A bunch of people started running down towards the end and then they said somebody has a gun, so everybody starts running.” The restaurant was evacuated after the shot was fired and no other patrons suffered injuries, according to the site. As for the the young man who hurt himself, NY Post states: “The 22-year-old man was rushed to the hospital following the incident. He is expected to make a full recovery. Police added that the man brought his concealed-carry firearm into the restaurant legally, KOMO reported, but parents expressed outrage he took his gun inside the establishment in the first place, as it caters largely to children. A representative for Chuck E. Cheese was not immediately available for comment.” Hopefully, Chuck E. Cheese has a plan to increase security and ensure weapons are never brought onto the premises. It’s great that no one’s child was hurt, but the kids shouldn’t have been exposed to the firearm in the first place.

Usually the news of movie remakes is met with a “meh” response or an eye roll at the very least, but an upcoming remake of a very popular film may change all of that. It has just been announced that the ever-beautiful Nia Long has joined the cast of Lifetime network’s Beaches remake, taking on […]
