A post shared by Marvel Entertainment (@marvel) on Jul 20, 2019 at 6:43pm PDT Ali made an appearance at the end of the panel to reveal the news that he will be taking the sword from Wesley Snipes, who previously played the Marvel Comics character in three films from 1998 to 2004 and made the film a cult-classic. Ali has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before: as the villainous Cornell Stokes, a.k.a. Cottonmouth, on Netflix’s “Luke Cage” and did a helluva job on HBO’s “True Detective”, so it’s only right that he keeps this hot streak going by reviving a classic and doin it justice.

Some couples on TV make shows worth watching. Other couples are just there, taking up precious room on the screen. We hate to say it, but we really want the 13 couples below to call it quits or just, like, keep their affection off the screen. 1. Fred and Serena – The Handmaid’s Tale Fred and Serena were both instrumental in starting the terrors that occur in Gilead, but there’s no love between them. Fred had his wife’s finger cut off. There’s nothing between them, and the fact they’re still married is very concerning. 2. Meredith and DeLuca – Grey’s Anatomy This pairing was out there … even for a primetime soap like Grey’s Anatomy. It came out of nowhere, there’s a lack of chemistry, and things got downright messy. They need to call it quits. 3. Niko and Eve – Killing Eve Niko and Eve were once very much in love … until Eve became infatuated with an assassin named Villanelle. Their relationship is at the breaking point, and they should just quit already. 4. Lucious and Cookie – Empire The term “whiplash” comes to mind when we think of Cookie and Lucious. They’re together one scene, and apart the next. It’s tiring, and we grew bored with it after the first season. 5. Harvey and Donna – Suits We waited eight seasons for them to get together, but when they finally wised up, there was no chemistry. It was exhausted years before because of the sheer amount of teases of a relationship with very little payoff. 6. Dylan and Andrew – PLL: The Perfectionists The Pretty Little Liars spinoff may suck, but Dylan and Andrew are part of the problem. Their relationship is built on lies, and every time they get to a good place, there’s another lie. Hey, some relationships are not meant to work. View Slideshow
Meghan McCain has opened way up about something extremely personal and extremely painful. The View panelist recently lost her baby due to a miscarriage. Via an op-ed in The New York Times this past Friday, the daughter of late Senator John McCain wrote very simply: “To the end of my days I will remember this child.” She continued in candid detail: “My miscarriage was a horrendous experience and I would not wish it upon anyone. I loved my baby, and I always will.” The talk show host, who some believe may leave The View in the very near future , said this pregnancy came as a joyous “surprise,” explaining that the baby girl she was expecting would have been her and husband Ben Domenech’s first child. However, she said she suffered a miscarriage the same day she shot a cover story for New York Times Magazine about the aforementioned morning program. “I look back at those pictures now, and I see a woman hiding her shock and sorrow,” she wrote of this shoot, adding: “I am posed for the camera, looking stern and strong, representing my fellow conservative women across the country. But inside, I am dying. Inside, my baby is dying.” Just so awful. We truly cannot imagine going through such an experience. McCain went on to say she isn’t looking for sympathy or a lot of special attention or anything. Instead, she went public with this terrible news because she wants to destigmatize the “distressingly common” occurrence. (Many studies say that one in four women have suffered a miscarriage.) “We deserve the opportunity to speak openly of them, to share what they were and to mourn,” McCain wrote in her piece. As for why it happened in this case? No one can ever say for sure; it can often just be chalked up to bad luck. However… “I blamed myself,” McCain sadly says. “Perhaps it was wrong of me to choose to be a professional woman, working in a high-pressure, high-visibility, high-stress field, still bearing the burden of the recent loss of my father and facing on top of that the arrows that come with public life.” “I blamed my age, I blamed my personality,” she continued. “I blamed everything and anything a person could think of, and what followed was a deep opening of shame. This, I told myself, is the reason my body is a rock-strewn wasteland in which no child may live.” John McCain died last August . And Meghan sort of takes comfort in the symmetry between that loss and the loss of her daughter. “When my father passed, I took refuge in the hope that someday we would be united in the hereafter,” she said. “I still imagine that moment, even as I trust that a loving God will see it happen. Now I imagine it a bit differently. There is my father — and he is holding his granddaughter in his hands.” How very powerful. We send our thoughts and condolences to Meghan McCain.

So we all know that Jenelle Evans hasn't been having the greatest time this summer, right? And yeah, it's mostly her own fault, but still, she's in a bad place in her life right now and that's important to our story today. As you may have noticed at some point in your own life, when people aren't doing well, they sometimes try to point out someone else's shortcomings to take the attention off of their own failings. This is never a good look, but sometimes, it's just downright embarrassing. And yesterday … well, Jenelle really embarrassed herself. 1. The Good Times Do you remember when Jenelle and Leah used to get along? It seems like forever ago, right? 2. Memories It wasn’t though! Just a couple of years ago, all the Teen Mom 2 girls managed to be civil enough to take photos together. 3. Not Anymore But then Jenelle and Kailyn started feuding in a major way, and so did Jenelle and Chelsea, and sometimes Jenelle and Leah, and then David got real scary, and so it all just fell apart. 4. Well, Jenelle … And now that Jenelle’s been fired, this doesn’t matter as much because she doesn’t have to interact with the other moms, but still, the bad blood remains. 5. Friends She gets along with Briana, but these days, the other cast members are basically her sworn enemies. 6. Uh Oh … And that’s why she thought it would be a good idea to go after Leah.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the most anticipated part of the album was the fact that Blue Ivy was going to be featured. Well, now we know what that feature sounds like and it has blown Twitter all the way up.

Source: JB Lacroix / Getty Aubrey O’Day Wants Barack Obama To Be Her Sperm Donor According to PageSix , Aubrey O’Day is ready to become a mom — and she has the perfect baby daddy in mind. The Danity Kane singer discussed who she wanted to father her seed: “I would like to do a show about inseminating me with some brilliant man’s sperm so I can have a child. Dream donor, Barack Obama. Because he’s brilliant, classy, kind, compassionate, witty, gorgeous. Everything that a great woman deserves, and that’s why he’s got a great woman.” Former President Obama has been married to OUR first lady Michelle Obama since 1992 and they share two daughters. O’Day hasn’t really dated Barack-caliber men in the past. She’s been linked to the likes of Pauly D and Donal Trump, Jr. So a former President seems out of her league. But we guess you can’t knock a girl for trying?

Source: Will Crocker / Getty Wrongfully Convicted Corey Atchison Freed From Prison Corey Atchison, 48, was released Tuesday by Tulsa County District Judge Sharon Holmes, after serving 28 years for a crime he didn’t commit, according to ABC News . Atchison was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1991 for the fatal shooting of James Lane in Tulsa in 1990 during what police said was a gang-related attempted robbery. It’s believed that Atchison was coerced into “confessing” he did the crime. The finding of “actual innocence” by Holmes makes Atchison eligible for up to $175,000 in compensation for a wrongful conviction under Oklahoma state law. After walking free from the courthouse this week, Atchison says he’s not holding any grudges towards the people who landed him in prison for almost three decades. Hit play.
