An honor bestowed on her by a bloated Tho, who decided it was time for a new ruler. During Comic Con this weekend, Tessa revealed, not only will Valkyrie appear in Thor: Love and Thunder , she will be looking for love in the same sex, making her Marvel’s first on-screen LGBTQ superhero. “As new king [of Asgard], she needs to find her queen. That will be the first order of business,” Tessa revealed during Marvel Studio’s Hall H panel at Comic-Con . Tessa’s bad a** character Valkyrie is originally bisexual in the comics so it only made sense to have her live-action portrayal match. Tessa confirmed she is bisexual in an earlier interview with NetAPorter.com. “I’m attracted to men and also to women,” she said. During the interview, a few of her comments were taken out of context and led to rumors she was dating Janelle Monae . She fanned flames when she appeared in Monae’s music video, but the two have been mum about their “connection” since. Thor: Love and Thunder opens Nov. 5, 2021.

You should just try.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know.’ And Jermaine [Dupri] said, ‘It’s gonna take him seeing that girl with somebody else and he gon’ lose his f**king mind, don’t tell him nothing.’ [chuckles] And that’s exactly how it happened.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1728183″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Donald Trump wants a Black friend so bad, for political purposes, surely. The racist President with a knack for stiffing vendors said he told Sweden’s Prime Minister he would “vouch” for jailed rapper A$AP Rocky’s bail. Cheeto took to Twitter to keep everyone updated as he allegedly pulls strings to spring Rocky from jail in Sweden, where he’s been since early July. Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019 “Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly,” tweeted Trump on Saturday (July 20). “Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative….” He added, “Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!” However, the Swedish PM was not going for the jig, considering heads of states are technically not supposed to intervene such legal matters. “The Prime Minister made sure to point out … the government neither can nor will try to influence the judicial process,” reports Page Six . In face, Trump’s grandstanding may have made things worse . Also worth noting, Sweden reportedly doesn’t have a bail system . So yeah, the racist Commander In Chief was once again tweeting out of his ass. Free A$AP Rocky, though.
