Source: Warner Bros / MGM Michael B. Jordan Talks Deontay Wilder’s ‘Creed 3’ Pitch A few weeks ago we reported that boxing champion Deontay Wilder had expressed serious interest in starring as Clubber Lang’s son in a potential Creed 3 film. TMZ caught up with Michael B. Jordan at LAX and got his thoughts on what Deontay might bring to the role. Sounds like a perfect match to us. Continue reading →
Source: Lauren Beasley / Hot 96.3 Vince Staples once again speaks on the controversial subject of the day, and of course he keeps it a thousands with a dash of humor. This time, he’s weighing in on the Pusha T and Drake beef. Things got real personal when Push dropped his “The Story of Adidon” track , and he talked about Drake’s father, mom and his alleged baby mama Sophie Brussaux. While some people are saying it’s all fair game in battle rap to get personal, Vince seems to think differently. In an interview with Mike D and Matt Wilkinson, Vince said, “when somebody dies, I’ll pay attention, cause if we not going there then why are we doing it. That’s my mantra on violence and aggressiveness.” He then half-jokingly continued, “with that being said, please don’t talk about me in songs. Be nice to me and I’ll be nice to you and I’ll give you a ride in my car, if it’s charged.” You can check out the full clip below… But Vince’s rap beef talk didn’t end there. Apparently, he got some pushback from his comments and he explained himself more on Twitter. So lemme get this right. Y’all want niggas to rap about people’s mamas, baby mamas, wives, cousins and brothers in a duragatory manner & I’m wrong cause I expect repercussions? 2sho hip hop, 2sho. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) June 1, 2018 I spelled derogatory wrong but this Crip so there you have it. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) June 1, 2018 Vince does have a point. Some of the things Push said about Drake’s family would definitely result in a “cash me outside” moment in real life. Can we really expect personal hits to stay on wax? Vince had more thoughts on the subject. Swipe through to see him break it down in his usual hilarious style.
The game never stops in Warner Bros new movie Tag a group of friends play a never ending game of tag that’s been going on since they were children. So during out interviews, Ed Helms & Jon Hamm ran in on the room with Hannibal Buress and Jake Johnson and scared the living crap out of them. This is the closest I’ll ever get to being on The Ellen Show. In theaters everywhere June 15th.
For the second year in a row, Skittles has made a gesture in support of the LGBT community. With June widely considered Pride Month, the candy has gone all-white in various markets because, as the company behind Skittles explains, “during Pride, only one rainbow matters. So we’ve given up ours to show support.” The Skittles taste the same, it's worth noting. The typical colors associated with this beloved candy are simply the result of dye, not flavor of any kind. But try telling that to the Internet! As you might expect, a variety of users are responding in a variety of ways to this news. And not every reaction is positive… 1. These are White Skittles Yes, they look unusual. But remember the basis for the temporary change? It’s an admirable cause. 2. The Affiliated Message These white Skittlers are display in the U.K.’s Tesco stores, with a note that profits will be sent to charities that support LGBT+. 3. The Reactions Commence Okay, fair: the packaging could use some work. 4. No Way! The Package is Great! Fine. Sorry. Calm down. 5. Even More Praise Hey, maybe the Internet isn’t so mean after all! 6. Then Again… Wait, what?!? This is a race thing now? View Slideshow
There’s still so much that we don’t know, with statements and rumors that seem to be in conflict, and dumb guys saying dumber things instead of telling us what happened. And now, Corinne Olympios, the woman at the center of the controversial and mysterious scandal that got production suspended on Bachelor in Paradise , has finally broken her silence. Speaking to TMZ , the one-time “Bachelor Villain” struck a much more serious tone than usual as she discussed the controversy . “I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4.” “Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production.” That’s all very … carefully worded and nuanced and exactly what she should be saying, considering the circumstances and the many, many potential legal complications. But then she gets about as real as she can about what happened. “As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality.” That’s the grim truth. There’s a lot that makes this case complex, from questions of who’s culpable for what to questions about exactly what happened. Unfortunately, it sounds like Corinne is nearly as in the dark as the rest of us. “As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening.” That is … horrifying. Any situation that looks like a sexual assault is going to be dreadful beyond words, but there’s a unique horror to having to piece together events after the fact along with the rest of the world. Corinne is not the first member of the Bachelor in Paradise cast to speak out , but, as she herself said, she’s the victim . We care a lot more about what she has to say about things than we do about a bystander. To be clear, it looks like DeMario Jackson was nearly as much of a victim in this. He’s already stated that the tapes will vindicate him , and Corinne hasn’t been pointing the finger at him, either. Quite frankly, if they were both drinking all day, and if he was really too drunk to even get an erection, then it looks like the story’s pointing the finger at producers and crew. Not all of them, obviously, but probably at anyone who let it happen and definitely at anyone who might have deliberately caused the situation. Maybe we’ll find out. Ugh, we can already see this becoming a ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law & Order: SVU , but with a twist, because they love their twists, even when it makes the story completely different from the real headlines. And yes, right now, it’s Warner Bros that’s carrying out the investigation, which is a little odd. They’re probably looking for liability issues and at who needs to get fired. But it sounds like a police investigation is almost inevitable. We’d fully expect Warner Bros to hand over names and evidence to police, even if just to prove that they’re cooperating fully. Maybe, once their investigation makes more headway, we’ll all know more. Corinne Olympios, at least, deserves to know the full story of what happened to her.
