A Poltergeist remake ? It’s heeeere! Okay, well it’s not here yet. But it’s coming. And who could resist that reference? MGM and 20th Century Fox are teaming up to produce and distribute a remake of the classic horror film, which will begin shooting this fall. Gil Kenan will direct the film, with David Lindsay-Abaire, who wrote Oz the Great and Powerful, providing the script. The film will reportedly be a “revisionist take on the classic horror film.” It will follow a struggling family that moves into a new home, where their daughter is taken by an evil spirit. Do you think a Poltergeist remake could be good? Or should Hollywood keep their hands off the things you love?
Lil Snupe is dead at the age of 18, according to multiple reports. The emerging rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who recently signed to Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers label, passed away early this morning. Some sources indicate that he was shot and killed, although no official details, including the location, have been released as of this posting. No homicides with a similarly aged victim occurred in the Baton Rouge area overnight, though it’s unclear if he still resides in that city or was there last night. In any case, Lil Snupe’s manager, DJ Smallz and Dream Chasers’ Louie V Gutta both tweeted of the rapper’s death this morning with heavy hearts. Snupe repped his home state in his last tweet, writing simply: “i Hold it Down 4 Louisiana.” Meek Mill signed Snupe to Dream Chasers last year after listening to his mixtape for 20 minutes, the late Louisiana rapper told MTV News in February. “He was in a van, they was finna pull off,” Snipe recalled. “I went and knocked on the van, on the window. They let the window down, grabbed the mixtape and it was like 20 minutes later they called me.” “He was spittin’ so much pain, he’s from the south with a flow like an east coast guy,” Meek Mill , who released Snupe’s debut mixtape in April, told MTV. RIP.
The Kim Kardashian baby name game just took an alarming new twist as a source claims that not only is Kaidence not the little girl’s moniker, but … wait for it … Her name does not even start with K! From the moment Kanye West announced that he got the 32-year-old reality star pregnant, we’ve speculated on the future Kim Kardashian baby name . Now that the beautiful baby girl – who’s already smiling ! – is here, speculation is at a fever pitch. We still don’t know it, but Us wants to make this clear: She is not Kaidence Donda West. With a musical tie-in, a tribute to his mom and a unique “K” name (a la Kim, Kanye, Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie), Kaidence seemed perfect. Alas. So what is it? No one knows … and don’t hold your breath. “They’re not quite ready to announce the name yet,” an insider says. “But the name definitely does not start with a K, despite all the rumors that have been out.” So basically they were thrown off by the premature delivery and are scrambling to keep the name under wraps as they figure out how to monetize it. #kardashianproblems. Whatever the new arrival will be called, “Everybody is doing great,” the insider adds, and ‘Ye does feel a connection to his late mother. “The baby is so sweet. Kanye is so in love. Kim’s real due date was July 12. Kanye’s mom’s birthday. That really warmed his heart.” Enough that he puts his album promotion schedule on the back burner so that Kim and the little one aren’t basically ditched by Kanye any minute? Only time will tell, THGers. Only time will tell.
