The folks at Marvel Studios know where their bread is buttered, and who’s doin’ the buttering. Black Panther is the superhero silo’s biggest domestic moneymaker of all time ($681 million) and only $70 million from being number two overall after the OG Avengers. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. According to Collider , the studio’s president, Kevin Feige, stopped just short of making a 100% guarantee that Ryan Coogler will be the HNIC (he didn’t use that term, but still) on Black Panther part two. When will that be? Well… “We definitely want Ryan to come back and that’s actively being worked out right now. When will it be? A lot of it will be when Ryan wants to and not rushing anything, but I think we have an idea of when it will be. But, again, [we’re] not going to announce any post-Avengers 4 movies until hopefully after Avengers 4, which is another reason we’re not going to Comic-Con.” Feige also had this to say about Black Panther’s enormous success and how it affected the future of the MCU: “The success of Panther is so amazing and makes us happy for so many reasons, and it certainly exceeded our lofty expectations. But our expectations were always lofty, so we had built a plan, not the least of which was centering so much of Infinity War in those locations and with some of those characters, that [its success] just says, ‘Let’s stick to this plan.’ It would have bee much more disruptive if it had not worked. Then we would have had to change a lot of what we were thinking about, but it really just solidifies and excites us to continue to move forward in the directions we’re heading in.” Wakanda forever!

Whenever I watch Julianne Hough…not that I ever watch Julianne Hough…it’s not like I park outside her house in a van, or that I’ve paid her pool guy or maid to install hidden cameras, I live in fucking Canada, I don’t even know where this Julianne Hough lives, I’m assuming LA, I mean why else would the paparazzi have so many pics of her, it’s not like she actually matters that much….I digress. When I see Julianne Hough…I think about the incest with her dancing brother, you know because they are from some weird religious cults, and incest is one of those things that happens in religious cults….but more interestingly…I think about Ryan Seacrest, her public boyfriend, who she dated…and who I know first hand account dirty stories of…like real dirty stories of…and that I can assume can be applied to this one…you know good little religious girls are never so religious…. I remember hooking up with a weirdo catholic chick years many years ago…and she was fucking crazy…fucking Jesus statues to defy her mom and shit…while Mormon..that’s a whole other pile of shit…if you’ve ever seen Mormon underwear…you’ll know what I mean… No more Mormon underwear for this Julianne Hough…would make her leggins fitness ass look bad…can’t have that…this is Hollywood yo.
The entertainment world is still reeling from the loss of Avicii. As reported late last week, the beloved DJ was found dead on Friday at the very young age of 28. In the days since, authorities have ruled out criminal suspicious as a cause of death , with local police in Oman (where Avicii was found) saying on record to CNN: “Two postmortems were carried out … and we can confirm that there is no criminal suspicion in the death.” So while we wait for further details to come in regarding what transpired with the musician, we can at least share more tributes to Avicii from those who knew him best. Such as Emily Goldberg. The ex-girlfriend of the DJ, Goldberg dated Avicii for two years and responded to his passing by sharing multiple photos of herself and the late star. She also shared a moving message in his honor. “‘Come on babe, don’t give up on us. Choose me, and I’ll show you love.’ Those are lyrics from a song Tim wrote for me,” Emily wrote to open the caption to the picture below, adding: “I wish I could have lived up to them. “For the two years we were together, he was my closest confidante, and my best friend. Now I can’t look at Bear without knowing I’ll never see his face again.” Avicii’s parents, two sisters and one brother arrived over the weekend in the city of Muscat to repatriate his body this week, according to police in Oman, which is a popular vacation destination on the Arabian Peninsula. They are “completely devastated,” authorities say. So is Goldberg. She concluded one of her posts by using lyrics from the DJ’s hit “Wake Me Up,” writing: “I’m still collecting my thoughts and thank you for all your kind words and texts. Wake me up when it’s all over, because I don’t want it to be real. #ripavicii #avicii @avicii.” Via her Instagram page, Goldberg also shared what looks to be a screenshot of a text exchange between herself and Avicii (real name Tim Bergling) expressing their love for each other. She captioned the post with a black heart emoji, and added the hashtags “#ripavicii #avicii. Avicii’s death was confirmed on Friday via the following statement: It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. He was found dead in Muscat, Oman, this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given. Fans then gathered in Stockholm on Saturday to pay tribute to the 28-year-old Swedish superstar. Avicii thrilled club goers with his catchy hits, flashing lights and soulful collaborations. At one point, it would be safe to say he one of the world’s most successful DJs, along with being a major name in the electronic dance music genre known as EDM. However, citing stress and anxiety, Avicii announced two years ago that he needed to take a break from touring. “I was drinking way too much, partying in general way too much,” he said at the time, adding of one side effect: “Then I got a pancreatitis attack [at 21], which is very rare. So that forced me to do a 180 and stop drinking.” It’s unclear right now whether this condition played a role in his death. May Avicii rest in peace.
