Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty You never quite know what to expect from the glorious Samuel L. Jackson , he is truly a national Black treasure. During a set visit for Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster Captain Marvel , last year, Sam Jackson revealed his era of choice was the 60s and shared his thoughts on today’s music. “Revolutionary things were changing things and everything was happening – sex, drugs, cheap thrills,” he explained during a candid convo. “Then the 70s, I went to New York and did the theater thing, which was a great creative awesome time.” MUST READ: ‘Captain Marvel’ Is A Woman And She’s Here To Save The Universe Source: Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios Captain Marvel is set in the 90s, which means we get to see Mr. Jackson’s Marvel character Nick Fury in his youth…and sans the eye patch. While reflecting on the golden era, Sam revealed, “By the time the 90s happened I was in Hollywood. A different kind of work ethic moving through it. Usually your ball-out times are the times you feel like there’s music you can relate to. When I Iisten to a commercial now, I’m like wow they’re using James Brown in a commercial, never thought that would happen.” He continued, “When you listen now and go, which one of these songs are they going to be playing 20 years from now? Will they be playing Drake in 20 years? Fetty Wap? We were trying to figure out yesterday, who’s the great solo artist now that? I’m talking about soul. We were listening to Stevie Wonder yesterday and going through this marvelous song clip that Stevie’s had for 30 years. Who’s that 30-year person for this generation.” When the reporters in the room suggested, “Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars?” He responded, “Bruno Mars is the Frankie Beverly of the millennials. He’s millennial cookout music.” So who is Sam Jackson listening to? “I listen to hip-hop.” Rae Sremmurd. Reggae. I’m waiting on Buju to get out.” [This interview is from 2018] Catch Captain Marvel in theaters March 8. RELATED STORIES: Watch: Samuel L.

Paola Mayfield: Mom-Shamed After Doing THIS to Her Baby!!

As 90 Day Fiance star Paola Mayfield recently confessed , motherhood is difficult. Unfortunately, trolls can make that even worse. Recently, she got mom-shamed by one of the most dangerous, insidious groups on the entire internet: anti-vaxxers. Why? Because baby Axel received his first vaccination and she dared to share it. Paola Mayfield shared this precious breastfeeding photo, but that’s not what attracted (most of) the mom-shaming. “My baby boy had his first vaccination today,” Paola shares.  At 2 months old, this could be for any number of things, including polio. This is a standard age at which to begin vaccinations. “Axel was so brave just like his mommy,” Paol praises. She then shares something worrisome: “@russ_mayfield has been reading The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears.” That book is notoriously filled with information that is not embraced by the medical community. “We have decided that we want to give our son specific vaccinations and avoid potential risks and side effects,” she reveals. Hmmm. On the positive side, Pao includes some very important tags: “#provaccine #proinformation.” Some of her commenters replied, including one who wrote “brave.” “Certain people tend to be nasty about anything I do,” Pao admits. “So I’m used to dealing with this lol.” Another commented that it must have been hard for her to watch her baby get a shot. “I was already crying before he got it,” Paola admits. “But then I was so proud [at] how brave he was!” “He didn’t cry much,” Pao shares. “And I had my boob ready for him. That helped a lot!” One commenter scolded Paola for vaccinating Axel, even if she may be skipping a shot or two. “Unfortunately,” warns this unintentionally hilarious comment. “It only takes one.” “Did it ever occur to you that Big PHARMA profits from our illness,” writes another wingnut. That comment continues: “and the government agencies struggle and fail at preventing them from harming the public?” “Paola you going to see when you baby boy I change after the vaccine ! And maybe get the autism too,” accuses another. That commenter adds: “poor baby ! My baby almost die after his shot never I vaccin me and my baby or my dogs.” “My grandma had measles lived to see another day this is a joke just like everyone’s scared of the flu your programmed,” another bonkers comment reads. Notably, the so-and-so survived argument is known as survivor bias .  “That’s funny,” claims another. “Because it’s a well known fact that vaccines suppress the immune system.” No. “By the way, vaccines shed,” that same commenter continues falsely. “So newly vaccinated people are actually the ones spreading it.” ( No vaccines on the furniture during shedding season!) “Enjoy your viruses and diseases!” concludes this poorly informed individual. “I’ve done my research. You obviously haven’t.” Paola also received (plenty of) comments from ardent supporters. “BRAVO Paola & Russ you just block all those haters and anti-vaccination activists and people who are sending you hate mail,” writes one. “Oh that’s a hard day for mommy,” agrees another. “Doing great protecting your baby with vaccines.” That same commenter adds: “All my kids, grandchildren have been vaccinated and they are perfect.” Study after study after study reminds people that vaccines are effective, generally very safe, and vital — but anecdotes don’t hurt. “I’m not trying to be a troll, but I am a registered nurse as is my husband,” writes a concerned supporter. “I believe that educating yourself on vaccines is thee best,” she affirms. She notes: “do you know that dr Sears …his license is on probation for giving exemptions to vaccination to children that he has never seen or examined.” “I would be careful about misinformation about vaccines,” another cautions. “Dr Sears is was under investigation and almost had his medical license revoked for medical negligence,” that commenter warns. It’s true. Paola’s tag may be pro-vaccination, but the book Russ is reading is said to be on the medical fringes, at best. Another commenter simply wrote: “Stop flashing ur boob.” View Slideshow: Paola Mayfield: 90 Day Fiance Star’s Hottest Photos That Russ Doesn’t Want You to See!

Jill Duggar: Why Is She Hated By Counting On Fans?

At first glance, Jill Duggar appears to be about as completely innocent and innocuous as any human being can be. Jill is a young mother of two with a husband in law school. She used to make big bucks as a reality star, but these days, she’s a stay-at-home mom who occasionally supplements her family’s income by working as a midwife . But as with just about everything involving the Duggar family, there’s more to Jill than meets the eye. And a lot of what’s just beneath the surface is the sort of stuff that the Duggars would probably prefer to keep out of the spotlight. Jill is one of the least well-liked members of the Duggar family. You may have had the experience of wandering into the comments section on one of Jill’s Instagram posts and wondering why she’s so widely despised. As it happens, there’s no one answer to that question. The biggest problem for many fans is that Jill stuck by her husband after he was kicked off of the family’s reality show. Derick was fired from Counting On for launching a transphobic tirade against fellow network star Jazz Jennings. Jill not only refused to speak out against her husband’s bigotry, she also quit the show as a gesture of solidarity, leaving her family with no visible means of support. It’s not hard to see why many fans may have been chagrined by that decision. But it’s certainly not the only reason that so many fans are so unforgiving of Jill. Many fans take issue with Jill’s method of homeschooling her children. These people point out that the mother of two continues to rely on materials provided by the Institute for Basic Life Principles. The curriculum has been heavily criticized in the past for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that children are taught that sexual assault victims are often to blame for their perpetrators’ crimes. This is an especially disturbing teaching in the Duggar family, which has been beset by numerous sex scandals . Others who criticize Jill’s parenting focus on what they say is the lack of proper nutrition in her household. Jill is famously averse to including vegetables in the meals she prepares. Incidents such as the time she and her kids walked several miles to a Chick-Fil-A location highlight the importance of junk food in her children’s lives. Jill has also been criticized for her housekeeping, and in the past, she has not shied away from sharing photos of her “messy” home on social media. It’s possible that fans are right to be concerned about Jill’s parenting methods and belief system. But it’s just as possible that this is just a case of too much social media scrutiny combined with a widespread bias against her family. We’ll leave it up to you to decide if Jill is as bad as her harshest critics claim. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Here’s Why Fans Think They’re Getting Divorced

Growing Up They’ve had their ups and downs since then, of course, but eventually they decided to get pregnant again, and in 2015, Nova was born. 4. First Comes Love … Several months later, they finally got married, too! 5. Heartbreaking We all know that around this time, things got really bad — Cate was suffering from postpartum depression, and while Tyler was very supportive, it was clearly a difficult time for the family. 6. Going Strong But they pulled through, just like they always do. View Slideshow

Wendy Williams Returns to Talk Show, Addresses Health Concerns

Wendy Williams is back… … and better than ever? That was the main topic the talk show host addressed this morning in her return to her self-titled program, following a two-month hiatus from her big purple chair. (Williams had been away due to ongoing health concerns … or due to embarrassment over her husband’s cheating scandal , depending on who you ask.) “Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I hit the block today,” Williams said at the top of her program before delving right into her medical woes. “What had happened was we were only supposed to be off two weeks for Christmas vacation. At the end of those weeks, I started to feel thyroid-ish. “They adjusted my meds. If you don’t know about thyroid disease, it’s a life long thing and they are always adjusting stuff. It can really screw you over.” Williams went on to explain that once doctors adjusted her medication, her Graves’ disease became a problem, as did her vertigo. “I can’t even tell you how many doctors I have, but I want to shout out each and everyone of you. Thank you so much,” she said, also giving props to her husband and adding: “We’re spending time as a family, the Hunters. You know, I’m Wendy Hunter. I just wanted to take some time for myself. I am my own best friend. You know that, I’ve told you that forever. “When you get into yourself, you are your own best friend. So I’m at home, I’m taking my thyroid meds, I am meditating. Oh, believe me you, I’m going to the gym seven days a week for two hours a day … “I’m sorry it took me 40 or 50 days. I know it’s been a long time. I’m sorry! I have to say, it’s not going to happen anymore and I feel good!” During her absence, friends such as Nick Cannon and Don Lemon took over a temporary hosts. On February 21, however, exactly two months after her last appearance, the show’s production company vowed that Williams was on her way back, saying in a statement: “Wendy Williams is an incredible talent with the most unique voice in daytime. We can’t wait to welcome her back to her iconic purple chair on the set of her show. “We so appreciate all of the guest hosts and panelists who filled in for Wendy during this time. These people are, and always will be, true family to the show.  “And we want to thank all of the loyal and supportive fans who have been with us for 10 years now.” Williams has battled these medical concerns for years. In March of last year, she told Good Morning America that she needed to take a break at the time because her body was simply a “mess,” adding in this interview: “We, as women, particularly if we have families, you know, we’re taking care of children, we’re taking care of our home, our husbands, we take care of everybody but ourselves. “I’m not doing that anymore, Amy. Wendy first!” We’re not very big fans of Wendy Williams, as documented below. But we certainly do not wish bad health on anything and we’re very glad to see her up, out and getting back to what she’s all about as a talk show host.

Everything We Learned from the Michael Jackson Documentary “Leaving Neverland”

See the rest here:

  Source: Ebet Roberts / Getty The premiere of ‘Leaving Neverland’ on HBO was shocking and jaw-dropping with all of the allegations that we made against the King of Pop.  Two alleged victims Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck give a detailed account of their time with Jackson.  Below we give you the abbreviated version of everything we learned from the documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’. Get Breaking News & Exclusive Contest in Your Inbox:    Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit W ade Robson was born in Brisbane Australia and became a fan of Michael Jackson in the days of Triller.  Like any kids across the world, Wade began to dance and sing like Jackson perfecting his moves.  At five-years-old Wade entered a dance contest where the winner would get to meet Jackson at one of his upcoming concerts in Australia.  Wade won the dance contest and met Jackson backstage after the show.  Jackson invited Wade to join him on stage at his next show the following night.  Just as promised Jackson pulled Wade on stage to dance with him.  The next day Wade and his mother go to Jackson’s hotel hoping to give him a thank you letter.  One of Jackon’s staff members saw them and told Jackson who then invited them to his room.  Wade claims they spent two hours with Jackson visiting. RELATED STORY: 20 Interesting Facts About Michael Jackson Two years later Wade had joined a dance company and made a visit to the United States.  Wade’s family successfully tries to contact Jackson while in the U.S. and invites them to visit his home Neverland for the weekend.  The Robson family planned on visiting the Grand Canyon but Wade wanted to stay with Jackson and his parents let him.  Wade spent five days with Jackson while his family was gone.  During this time is when Wade claims his sexual relationship with Jackson began including oral sex.  When the Robson’s returned to pick up Wade, he didn’t want to go.  So they extended their time at Neverland, where Wade claims the sexual abuse continued every night. The Robeson’s returned to Australia but still kept in communication with Jackson.  After some time had passed Jackson invited Wade back to participate in the marketing campaign for his shoe line with LA Gear.  The campaign would take six weeks to complete.  Wade’s mother came with him.  Jackson asked Wade’s mother to let him stay for a year with him but she said no and allowed him to say with Jackson longer before going back to Australia. RELATED STORY: Thriller: Michael Jackson Earned $400 Million Last Year Despite Being Dead Since 2009 After some time passes Wade’s parents split up.  Mrs. Robeson decides that she and Wade are moving to Los Angeles in hopes to be with Jackson.  When they get to LA they immediately notice that the relationship between Wade and Jackson isn’t the same.  Jackson invites Wade to be in his ‘Black or White’ video but when they showed up to set they met MaCaulay Cogan .  Wade felt MaCaulay had taken his place as Jackson’s “best friend.”  Over time, Jackson still visits Wade and the alleged sexual abuse continues.  Wade ask Jackson to go on his upcoming tour with him but Jackson declines, taking another young boy with him named Brett Barnes.  Continued on the next page
