George Zimmerman Says He Is Homeless And Suffers From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder This azzhole may have gotten off for killing Trayvon Martin, but he is paying for it now. According to Orlando Sentinel: George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, told Spanish-language television network Univision that he is homeless and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. An English translation of the interview that will air Sunday was released to the media Saturday . Zimmerman will speak on a special edition of “Aquí y Ahora” at 7 p.m. Special correspondent Ilia Calderón spoke at length to Zimmerman, who shot the 17-year-old Miami Gardens youth in February 2012 in Zimmerman’s gated community in Sanford. Zimmerman tells Calderón that he was “100 percent” sure of his actions on the night of the shooting. Trayvon would have killed him if he hadn’t opened fire, Zimmerman says. “I know that for sure, yes,” he tells Calderón. Zimmerman says in the interview that he has canceled plans to participate in a celebrity boxing match. The plans for a fight, he says, “transformed into something that is not right.” Zimmerman goes on to say that he can’t have a “normal life,” wears a bulletproof vest when in public and doesn’t have a permanent home. He says that his family helps him “a lot.” “I’m totally homeless,” Zimmerman says. Later, Calderón asks how he has changed since the shooting: “I suffer from PTSD,” Zimmerman replies. This explains him wanting to catch fade in that cancelled “celebrity” boxing match. The man has no morals.
Wonder what she saw that made the lightbulb go off? Cookie Johnson Said She Knew Her Son E.J. Was Gay From A Young Age Via HuffingtonPost Magic Johnson’s wife Cookie spoke at length about her son E.J.’s public coming out in an appearance on HuffPost Live this week. “We had already dealt with it years ago, so for us it wasn’t a big deal,” Cookie said, adding that EJ had “never tried to hide” his sexuality, even when he was much younger, and therefore his revelation didn’t come as a big surprise: “A mother kinda knows these things.” The wife of the basketball legend went on to offer a few tips for parents who have lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) children of their own. “To me, the most important thing is to let them know that you love them,” she said. “These kids need that kind of support, they don’t want to be ostracized especially at home with their own families…and why should they be? So it was important for us to make sure that he knew…that we loved him and we supported him 100 percent.” Mama knows best. Image via GSI-AKM/FameFlynet

The actor also spoke with MTV News about the ‘very subtle’ use of 3-D in ‘The Great Gatsby.’ By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Joel Edgerton Photo: MTV News PARK CITY, Utah — Joel Edgerton could tell you about Kathryn Bigelow ‘s untitled Osama Bin Laden movie, but then he’d have to kill you. OK, perhaps it’s not as dramatic as all of that. Still, the “Wish You Were Here” actor spoke briefly with MTV News about starring in the Navy Seal thriller alongside Chris Pratt and Jessica Chastain , and while he’s “very excited” to start shooting the film, his lips are sealed on the top-secret op. “I can’t really tell you anything about it,” he told MTV during the Sundance Film Festival . “I don’t know that I can’t tell you anything about it, but I’d be very ill informed to talk about it at this point. But I’m just excited to work with all of those guys.” Edgerton was much more inclined to talk about “The Great Gatsby,” Baz Luhrmann ‘s upcoming adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic. The Australian actor, who stars in “Gatsby” as drunken socialite Tom Buchanan, spoke at length about Luhrmann’s “very subtle” use of 3-D in the film. “3-D is absolutely the right thing for [the film],” said Edgerton. “I’ve seen sections of the movie and it sort of invites you in. It’s not like spectacle 3-D; you’re not being confronted by things blowing at your head. But it invites you in. What it does psychologically is very interesting, and I think you’ll forget you’re watching 3-D.” “Also, it’s lavish,” he continued. “That era was so lavish. The ’20s was about excess, so why not add a bit of excess to the filmmaking as well?” For those who remain skeptical of the use of 3-D in “Gatsby,” Edgerton expects negative opinions to change when the movie is released this December. “Baz knows absolutely everything he’s doing,” he said. “I’m really excited for all the people [groaning] about 3-D to see the movie. I hope everybody is crossing their arms and frowning to begin with, because I think they’ll unfurl by the time they see it.” What do you think of the use of 3-D in “The Great Gatsby”?
