According to Deadline , the streaming site has acquired an action-comedy feature pitch by screenwriter Michael Diliberti that he will pen as a vehicle for Ellis and actor Glen Powell . The movie will follow two young Secret Service agents who are stuck with the worst detail in the First Family…the President’s offbeat son. When the kid is kidnapped abroad, the two agents must risk their lives to save him. The flick will be produced by Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Becky Sanderman. Diliberti’s writing credits include the movie 30 Minutes Or Less , starring Jesse Eisenberg. This will not be the first time Powell and Ellis will appear in a film together. The two are also co-stars in the upcoming sequel to the 1986 movie Top Gun called Top Gun: Maverick . Ellis has gained a name for himself as the love interest to Issa Rae on the hit HBO series Insecure . Through their on-and-off relationship, certain fans started to warm up to Ellis’ character Lawrence, almost to the point of being obsessed. Thus the #LawrenceHive was born. When Issa’s character and Lawrence broke up at one point, there was even a campaign to bring Lawrence back in season three of the show. Eventually Lawrence did make it to season three and he’s expected to return for season four, which is currently in production.

DING! DING! DING Is it really about to be on between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise? That’s a question we never thought we’d be asking, but Bieber himself has gone ahead and forced us to ponder the possibility. For reasons that remain unknown, the singer Tweeted a challenge to the actor over the weekend, writing very simply and mysteriously on his account: I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ? White is the owner of UFC and someone who could, conceivably, sanction this fight, pay each combatant and air the battle on pay-per-view. He is yet to respond to the strange request, however — nor has Cruise said a word about what may just be some sort of publicity stunt on Bieber’s behalf. But what if it is not? What if Justin Bieber hated Mission: Impossible – Fallout or is pissed he wasn’t cast in the upcoming Top Gun sequel or something and is so angry at Cruise that he really does want to beat him up? If this is the case, we’d left with no choice but to pose the obvious question to our staff. And that question is this: WHO WOULD WIN A FIGHT BETWEEN JUSTIN BIEBER AND TOM CRUISE? Cruise by Tyler Johnson Sadly, an MMA bout between Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber will probably never take place, because that would be a truly win-win event for all of humanity. No matter which party emerged victorious, it would be well worth the pay-per-view price to see the opposing fighter get knocked senseless. As for which pint-sized pugilist would come out on top, it seems clear to me that Tom would smack the thetans out of Justin. Now, Cruise remains the face of an international cult that’s been accused of everything from slave labor to sex-trafficking, so he’s definitely more deserving of a smackdown than Justin, whose most egregious crime remains acting like sort of a douche for most of his life. But at an according-to-his-publicist height of 5’7” and a weight of 170 pounds, Tom has the much stockier frame. Add to that the fact that he’s been doing his own stunts for several decades, and it seems clear to me that Tom would easily overcome his 31-year age disadvantage to do exactly what millions of middle-aged dads have wanted to do after dropping an entire paycheck on concert tickets for their daughters: We’re talking, of course, about pounding the snot out of Justin Bieber Obviously, we’ve never seen him step into the ring before, but we’re guessing Cruise would bust out evasive maneuvers like Maverick and leave Justin as lifeless as Lestat. Maybe after someone waves some smelling salts under Justin’s nose, we can finally figure out why the hell he randomly challenged Tom Cruise to a fight. Cruise by Simon Delott Justin is young and presumably spry. So… why in the world would I predict that Tom Cruise would crush it in a fight? Because Justin Bieber is only human. Tom does his own stunts and is an acting machine. That’s why he gets work even though he’s the poster boy for an alleged predatory enterprise. Tom has no thetans or even normal human thoughts to hold him back in a fight. Think about it this way: imagine if Justin Bieber were to fight a man-sized robot. Now imagine that that robot is part of a cult . The Biebs stands no chance. That said, do they really need to fight? They’re both aging sex symbols who aren’t nearly as popular as they once were. They’re both also very visible members of very different but controversial churches that cater to celebs. Justin’s weird MMA fight challenge Tweet could be the start of a beautiful friendship, but that’s about it. Cruise in a knockout. And the Winner is? Justin Bieber! Click Here To Vote for The Biebs! Tom Cruise! Click Here To Vote for The Nut Job! Justin Bieber really has challenged Tom Cruise to a fight. Who will come out on top if this happens? View Poll » The Internet by Hilton Hater Justin Bieber is a Fake Tough Guy, while Tom Cruise is just a Fake… Guy. The former likes to take off his shirt and show off his many tattoos — as he stands behind a phalanx of security guards. The latter has been programmed since his On-Switch was flipped to smile at all times, regardless of time, place or his actual mood. Yes, Cruise famously performs his own stunts, but that’s still what they are: stunts. They are, by definition, phony and contrived. This descriptions fit Tom Cruise as well, who would be so confused by his surroundings if actually placed inside an octagon and asked to not merely act, but to actually be all mean and tough and to throw an actual punch or kick… that he would short-circuit on the spot. Bieber, meanwhile, would run out to the ninth row and ask someone there to hold him back; hold him back! The fact that Bieber is 5’7″ and Cruise is, like 4’2″ might actually tilt the bout in the actor’s favor. Bieber would have difficulty just leaning down and connecting with Cruise’s jaw. But Bieber is more than three decades younger than Cruise; with the way Hailey Baldwin talks about her sex life with the singer, we’ve gotta imagine his stamina is pretty strong these days. So let’s call it a wash from a physical perspective. Yes, Justin is good friends with Chris Brown, but he only knows how to hit women , so any advice Brown could offer would be wasted when the opponent has a penis. The truth is that this fight probably won’t happen and that neither star seems capable of mixing it up for real if he ever did step between any ropes. This is why there can only be one true winner any time the topic of Bieber versus Cruise is broached. It’s not the singer who loves to play victim; nor is it the actor who just loves to play. It’s the creators of content across the Internet who get to spend ample time at their jobs breaking down this hypothetical matchup and hopefully entertaining their loyal readers while doing so. Thank you for joining us.
Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout has opened up about her relationship with Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate for us to state, her lack of a relationship with these two individuals. The veteran MTV cast member posed for a holiday card with Standifer and ALL the kids shared between them awhile back. This somewhat surprising turn of events caused some observers to think these two were on strong terms … or stronger at least. But are they, really, at the end of the day? And when did Maci last speak to Ryan? Answers await! Scroll down to find them … 1. Are Maci and Mackenzie Friends? Like we mentioned above, we understand why some followers would think this, considering the photo they posed for above. Despite the tough times of the past decade, and his obvious personal problems, they share one beautiful little boy they both love. That should be enough, right? 2. Wow. There are A LOT of Kids There. We’re talking about son Bentley, 10, whom Bookout shares with Edwards; daughter Jayde, 3; and son Maverick, 2, whom she shares with husband Taylor McKinney; Mackenzie’s son Hudson, 4, from a previous relationship; and Jagger, 3 months, whom she shares with Edwards. 3. Don’t Be Fooled, However “We don’t really have a relationship,” Bookout said very simply this week when asked about Standifer by Us Weekly . 4. Oh… No? “It’s not negative. It’s not a bad relationship, there’s just really not one,” Maci added. 5. Makes Sense, Right? All the women have in common is Edwards and, yeah… that’s pretty darn awkward. 6. Where Was Ryan When That Holiday Family Photo Was Snapped? In jail. View Slideshow

While at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, the former commander-in-chief slammed President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the most eloquent way possible. Politico reports : Laying out a brief history of America — starting with George Washington’s decision to step out of public life after leaving the presidency — Obama framed the 2018 elections as more significant than ever before. And for the first time since leaving office, he said Trump’s name. Obama unfurled a paragraph-by-paragraph condemnation of Trump, his presidency and what he has uncorked in American politics. “It did not start with Donald Trump. He is a symptom, not the cause,” Obama said to applause. “He’s just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years.” It’s not just about Trump, Obama said. It’s about Republicans “who know better in Congress … bending over backwards to shield” Trump. They’re hypocrites, he said, and they’re just as dangerous to America. At times mocking them and at times laying into them, Obama said they’ve abandoned all that they’re supposed to stand for as Republicans, and as citizens of this country.

On Tuesday, September 4 the tailor was honored at the Harlem’s Fashion Row gala hosted at Capitale New York. Mr. Day was presented with the Lifetime Maverick Award. Wearing a black tuxedo with a sequin like bow tie, that matched his signature over sized Gucci sunglasses, the famed outfitter was grateful for the distinction and the opportunity to further open doors for minority designers. “It’s something I never expected, and that’s pretty obvious by the fact I never tried to penetrate the fashion industry,” he explained to Page Six. “I had absolutely no connection to the structure of fashion, so it was something that I never expected. But I feel great about it now — more so for what it does to people of color, for people behind me.” NBA great LaBron James also had a big night as he formally unveiled HFX x Lebron 16. It is a Nike first; a basketball shoe for women designed by women. Three African American designers crafted the shoe under James’ direction that it be themed after strong Black women. On stage the LA Laker’s speech furthered his sentiments behind the release. “I believe that African American women are the most powerful women in the world” he said. ‘Bron also cited his mother as a huge inspiration for the collaboration. “Because of you, Gloria James, I am able to give back — her sense of pride and sense of strength.” Harlem’s Fashion Row is a social company that provides a voice for multicultural designers; through a creative platform that enables these designers to sell and present their collections to key leaders within the fashion industry.
