So Tessa Thompson’s Wig In ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Cost $10,000 & Twitter Can’t Deal

See the original post:

Source: Michael Tran / Getty It’s probably a well known fact that Marvel and its parent company, Disney, dish out some major cash to produce their superhero movies. But who would’ve thought they held wigs as a top priority for their films. This is the only explanation when it was revealed that Disney shelled out $10,000 for Tessa Thompson ‘s wig in Thor: Ragnarok. The director of Sorry to Bother You , Boots Riley, revealed the information in an interview with HuffPost . Tessa Thompson starred in his film as the character Detroit. However,  Sorry to Bother You ‘s shooting schedule interfered with the re-shoot schedule of Thor . Thus, Tessa had to hit up re-shoots for Thor on weekends while shooting Sorry to Bother You in Oakland during the week. The only problem is, Tessa plays Valkyrie in Thor and has long hair, while in STBY, Tessa’s character has short colorful curls. The only way Disney/Marvel knew how to fix the situation was by buying Tessa a $10k wig for Thor , according to Riley.   So Tessa’s wig is basically a national treasure and should be safely stored in a museum. A few folks on Twitter seemed to think similarly. Check out what people had to say about the $10,000 piece that could easily pay 7 months worth of rent.

Keep It A Stack…2000 Of Them: Lee Daniels Tastes Humble Pie And Vows To Pay Dame Dash His Money

Image via Kevin Tachman/Getty Images/Eugene Gologursky/WireImage Lee Daniels Agrees To Pay Dame Dash The Money He Owes Earlier this week we all believed we were in a time machine when footage hit the net of Dame Dash putting a full court press on producer Lee Daniels. Lee has owed Dame upwards of $2 million for well over a decade now and Dame wants his guap. Today, Lee appeared on TMZ Live to make a public admission of guilt and a vow to repay Damon every red cent. We respect the fact that Dame didn’t want to drag Lee back to court and make another Black man look bad, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make sure people respect you. Glad this ended civilly AND we got some great jokes out of it.

Cheeto has (of course) tweeted about the situation and thanked the firemen (and women) for their service. Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 7, 2018 Residents said they received no evacuation orders from the building management about the fire. SMFH, so no sprinklers and no evacuation orders? Nicely done Cheeto.
