Disney Defends Halle By Roasting Racist #NotMyAriel Folks In One Instagram Post

Read this article:

Source: AFP Contributor / Getty I have a feeling that Disney and Nike are doing everything in their power to piss off racist people and I’m all for it. If you don’t know Disney announced that Halle Bailey will be playing Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and that announcement sparked outrage online from some people who felt like Ariel shouldn’t be black. Those folks quickly started posting under the hashtag #NotMyAriel to voice their disdain on the decision. A lot of other great people on Twitter took to stick up for Halle against people who can’t see progress. One user named Lea Toft tweeted, “As a danish person, I have some bad news for all the people who’s angry, that a black woman is playing Ariel. Danish people don’t have fins either, nor do we live underwater – we can, and do, however have different ethnicities” As a danish person, I have some bad news for all the people who’s angry, that a black woman is playing Ariel. Danish people don’t have fins either, nor do we live underwater – we can, and do, however have different ethnicities #notmyariel — Lea Toft (@MuffinFanatic) July 5, 2019 Oh, burn. Now Disney has made a statement in the matter in a witty post about their pick of Halle, dedicated to the poor unfortunate souls who don’t like Halle. “Yes. The original author of The Little Mermaid was Danish. Ariel … is a mermaid. She lives in an underwater kingdom in international waters and can legit swim wherever she wants (even though that often upsets King Triton, absolute zaddy),” Freeform’s post read. “But for the sake of argument, let’s say that Ariel, too, is Danish.” “Danish mermaids can be black because Danish *people* can be black. Ariel can sneak up to the surface at any time with her pals Scuttle and the *ahem* Jamaican crab Sebastian (sorry, Flounder!) and keep that bronze base tight,” the text post continued. “Black Danish people, and this mer-folk, can also *genetically* (!!!) have red hair.” View this post on Instagram An open letter to the Poor, Unfortunate Souls: ______ #TheLittleMermaid #Ariel #MyAriel A post shared by Freeform (@freeform) on Jul 6, 2019 at 6:16pm PDT This has been a bad July for racist people as Nike also pulled a sneaker with America’s first flag because it has been used to promote white supremacy in the past after Colin Kaepernick brought that to their attention. That decision caused people to burn their Nikes once again but we think Nike and Disney will both be fine in the future. Nike becoming a brand that routinely upsets racists makes me think they’ll be just fine — Kazeem Famuyide (@RealLifeKaz) July 2, 2019 As for The Little Mermaid, this movie is shaping up to look just like modern-day America with Rob Marshall directing, and Melissa McCarthy and Awkafina in talks for roles in this movie.

Naomi Campbell Doesn’t Eat Everyday, But Is That Healthy?

Original post:

Source: Kirstin Sinclair / Getty Naomi Campbell has maintained her amazing figure throughout her three-decade career. At 49, she looks as fit and youthful as she did when she first hit the modeling world. Most celebs have a special diet and regimen to maintain their figure,  but Campbell barely has a diet at all. During a visit to the UK show Lorraine, she said sometimes goes few days a week without eating anything.

If I want to do a day of just not eating, I do it and just do water or juice. Depends how I feel.” She said her diet is “never planned” but on the warmer days she is more likely to not consume much. Campbell added “sometimes I don’t [eat], I just want to do juice” on a hot day.

Lee Daniels Promises ‘Star’ Two-Hour Movie Finale After Show’s Cancellation

Originally posted here:

Source: Leah Puttkammer / Getty Lee Daniels ’  Star may not be returning for another season but the show isn’t over just yet. The Academy-award nominated director announced on Instagram that he will be wrapping the FOX series up with a “movie of the week.” “We’re going to make something real special for you to scream about with all of our cast members — even the dead ones.” He teased that the finale movie will be a “two hour GAG!” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). Daniels promised that the original cast would be returning for the TV flick including Ryan Destiny,  Brittany O’Grady,  Jude Demorest,  Queen Latifah, Brandy, Amiyah Scott and Quincy Brown. After premiering back in December of 2016,  Star lasted three seasons.  The ratings were satisfactory during its time,  but ratings dropped 11 percent during the third season. After it was decided by network execs that  Empire  would be prioritized because it was going into its last season,   Star  was axed from the lineup. “We looked at our priorities and were trying to prioritize giving  Empire  the send-off it deserves,” FOX Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier told  Deadline . “The move [of  Empire ] to 9 p.m, made it a challenge because  Star  was always the lead-out from  Empire and obviously we don’t have the 10 p.m hour, so it was another tough choice in a year where we were prioritizing Empire  and obviously some of the other shows that we’ve put on the schedule.” After its cancellation,  Daniels pitched  Star to Amazon, BET and OWN but he was unsuccessful.

Shannon Beador: I’m Dating as Many Men as I Want!

Back in April, Shannon Beador reached a divorce settlement with David after what felt like an eternity of vicious, bitter court fights. Since her split, Shannon has been dipping her toes into the world of dating again. Actually, she’s taken a real plunge. Her castmates tease her for being a “heartbreaker” because, after her latest breakup, she’s now dating multiple men. RadarOnline reports that the The Real Housewives of Orange County star has been “cooling off” her romance with Comcast exec Rick Stanley. These days, Shannon Beador is dating “several men.” And apparently she’s loving every minute of it. “She’s been called a heartbreaker by her cast mates,” the insider reveals. “But,” the source emphasizes. “She is not hurting anyone.” Shannon is rich, famous, and she’s finally getting to enjoy that. “She is having fun being frisky,” the insider shares. Good for her for living her best life! “And,” the source adds, Shannon “is just enjoying her new life.” It’s great that she gets to date and have fun without David’s attorneys breathing down her neck. As the report points out, Shannon hasn’t really been single for a long, long time. She’s 55 years old and a mother of three, but she’s spent so much of her adult life tied down in a deteriorating marriage. “She was with her ex [David Beador] for her whole life,” the insider points out. Which explains why she’s taking time to explore her options instead of diving directly in to another long-term relationship. “And,” the source adds, Shannon “is not wanting to settle down like that anytime soon.” Though things have simmered down with Rick Stanley, the report emphasizes that this wasn’t some dramatic split. “Shannon really enjoyed Rick’s company,” the insider affirms. The source adds that “They got along great,” “But,” the insider explains. “Rick lives in Colorado and she lives in California.” Long-distance relationships can be difficult, even for wealthy people who can afford to travel whenever work allows. “Long distance is one thing,” the insider notes. “But,” the source continues. “That is a completely different ballgame.” Some people form international relationships for years without meeting up in person. In Shannon’s case, she’s trying to get out and about and actually date, so she wants someone a little closer to home. “If Shannon is going to get serious with someone,” the insider reveals. “He is going to have to at least live in the same state as she does.” Shannon has been through so much. Remember, even before she and David divorced, she was already living a stressful, emotionally painful nightmare. She was body-shamed. She was cheated on. And then the divorce got so dirty that she found her home’s water cut off. Not to mention incidents in which David was allegedly seen and heard yelling and swearing at Shannon in the courthouse. Now, she gets to reap the well-earned rewards of her status as a rich, single reality star. We hope that she lives it up on these dates. We also hope that at least some of Shannon’s plural dating shenanigans are caught on camera for us all to enjoy. View Slideshow: Shannon Beador Slammed by David’s Girlfriend in Scathing Callout

Tori Roloff: Uggh! This Pregnancy is Making Me So Fat!

We’re just gonna go right ahead and say this up front: We love and admire you, Tori Roloff. You’ve managed to build a huge Instagram following while remaining upbeat, kind, helpful and, simply put, normal . That’s not easy to do in this day and age. Why did we feel a need to open this post by stating our take on the Little People, Big World star? Because Roloff shared an emotional message on her social media account over the weekend that candidly focused on her second pregnancy… how it compares to her first pregnancy… and what she is struggling with these days, both physically and mentally. “This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me than the last. Don’t get me wrong-I’ve been so lucky… im not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord),” wrote Amy to open her caption to the photo above. Amy and Zach Roloff announced they were expecting again in mid-May. They are already parents to a two-year old named Jackson. And Tori has talked previously about why this pregnancy has been a a challenge . In this case, however, she gets far more personal than ever before. “I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around,” Tori now confesses, adding: “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure. “Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).” About two weeks ago, Tori joked about how quickly her baby bump was growing . Here, though, she gets pretty serious pretty darn quickly. “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way,” she admits, prior to turning her attention to her gender in general and writing: “Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do.” Her what? Tori goes on to deliver a rather awesome pep talk. This is what she writes: You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Like we said at the outset: We really love Tori Roloff. We can’t wait to meet her daughter in November. Yup: We already know the baby’s gender and approximate due date. Back on May 13, Tori and Zach confirmed their major family news to Us Weekly. “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother!” the couple shared back then, adding: “We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” Hey, we feel the same way! We just said that! Congratulations, you two. And also: SO well said above, Tori. Hang in there. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives

Shay Mitchell Pregnancy of the Day

Shay Mitchell is a pretty clever rich kid who got into acting thanks to being a rich kid. First she made it from her mansion in West Vancouver…a rich neighborhood…to Toronto…where she got cast in Degrassi….where she may or may not have had sex with Drake….then she moved onto Hollywood, leaving Canada behind as these people do once they officially make it in the big leagues of America…which Pretty Little Liars was….and sh was able to build out and grow a massive social media reach because of it.. In being enterprising or current or smart she decided that was a good thing to focus on in her acting downtime, becoming an “Influencer” means controlling her content and imag whil getting all kinds of money for brand deals..all while going on all kinds of epic trips because that is what these people do… So she does well for herself, and is now knocked up by another Canadian who used to be a VJ on Much Music…because I guess she had a childhood crush on him, or maybe Canadians in America stick together….or maybe this is just how love and building families work…I don’t know, I just know she’s got a nice tan in her bikini and despite finding pregnancy gross, I like what it does to tits, before the breast feeding is done and the titties deflate… Yes, my life is one big tit joke, a simplistic tit joke no on laughs at.

‘Power’ Season 6 Trailer Teases The “Final Betrayal”

Read more:

Source: Starz / Power A ugust 25, we will be singing “they say it’s a big rich town” for the final season. Starz’s hit original series, Power returns for its sixth and final season. Yesterday (July 6) the network unveiled the trailer for the show, and it basically proves one thing, Ghost (Omari Hardwick) can’t trust a single soul in his shaky circle, not even his own damn son. It’s the final battle between brothers. The #FinalBetrayal begins August 25 on @STARZ . pic.twitter.com/11DlAiT29M — Power (@Power_STARZ) July 6, 2019 All James St. Patrick wants to do is be a legitimate businessman, honor his deceased daughter by getting the Queens Child Project erected and be a loving father to his stubborn ass son Tariq. BUT, of course, that will prove to be difficult thanks in large part to his brother in crime, Tommy (Joseph Sikora) — now trying to cancel Christmas on him… AGAIN — to be the biggest dope dealer in NYC with the help of his boo Keisha (La La Anthony) who has a bone to with her best friend Tasha (Natura Naughton). It also doesn’t help that Riq is out here looking like a watered down version of his dad by getting into the drug game while at the same time partnering up with those who want to see the patriarch of the St. Patrick family six feet under. We can’t forget that Dre (Rotimi) is still running the streets, and the Feds led by Cooper Saxe (Shane Johnson) are still hot on his tail and want to see the former drug kingpin in jail. The 2:08 trailer confirms the return of Angela Valdez (Lela Loren) who was shot by Tommy in season 5’s “cliffhanger” season finale . Despite viewers thinking it was the end of Ghost’s legendary side chick, showrunner Courtney A.Kemp confirmed immediately that she would be returning for the final season so her presence in the trailer should come as no surprise to anyone. So buckle up, it looks like we are in for a wild ride, season 6 will be bringing the twists and turns and somehow manage to spread it out through 15 episodes. Step into the trailer for Power’s final season below and keep it locked here for full recaps.
