There were not many surprises at the 90th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night . As expected, The Shape of Water won Best Picture and Frances McDormand won Best Actress, for example. But the real action took place ahead of the annual show, as E! decided to let Ryan Seacrest interview celebrities on the red carpet… … despite some sexual harassment allegations having been leveled against the omnipresent host. (A former stylist claims Seacrest made inappropriate remarks at her and took inappropriate actions with her, such as pushing her head toward his crotch at one point.) Seacrest did not land nearly as many pre-Oscars interviews as normal, with many stars shunning him on the red carpet out of respect for the #MeToo movement. But Taraji P. Henson did choose to speak to Seacrest. And she also chose to destroy him on live television. After being asked a question by Seacrest, Henson smirked at the possibly shady man in front of her and replied: “The universe has a way of taking care of taking care of good people,” she said, as she touched the E! host on the chin. “You know what I mean?” Seacrest said that he agreed, while social media unanimously agreed that Henson had just completely torched Seacrest on his very own show. A few users pointed to Henson giving Seacrest a hug after the interview as proof that they are no hard feelings. And Henson later told People Magazine, amidst chatter that she dissed Seacrest during their chat, specifically with the way she touched his face: “I did it to keep his chin up. It’s an awkward position to be in. He’s been cleared but anyone can say anything.” Later, Seacrest addressed the situation on Twitter, writing that he had “nothing but love for his friend” and thanking her for “hanging out with us on the E! Red Carpet.” Are you buying this, though? Just watch this exchange!
Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Ryan Seacrest has been under fire after recent sexual abuse allegations against him from his former stylist. And E! was so worried about what might be said to Seacrest as he hosted the red carpet at the 90th Annual Academy Awards that they put the broadcast on a thirty-second delay just in case someone decided to say something out of line. But E! didn’t seem to catch what the internet thinks was shade from Taraji P. Henson to Seacrest when she stopped to do an interview with him. Henson talked about how the universe always works things out with certain people and had some subtle body language along with her words to Seacrest. Update: Taraji P.Henson tells PEOPLE.com her comments were “misconstrued.” “I did it to keep his chin up. It’s an awkward position to be in. He’s been cleared but anyone can say anything,” she says. When asked point-blank whether she was supporting the E! host, Henson replied “absolutely.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://mycolumbuspower.com” id=”3265559″ overlay=”true”]
Jason Kempin/Getty Images E! Producer Is Claiming She Was Unfairly Terminated People began to side-eye a popular network when former E! News host Catt Sadler made the decision to leave after finding out that her salary was half that of her male counterparts. Her courageous decision was announced in early February, which came only a few days before the Golden Globe ceremony–which is where celebrities were particularly fired up to speak out against the systemic sexism of Hollywood. Now, another woman is claiming she was wrongfully terminated by the network. The producer, Aileen Gram-Moreno, told the New York Times that she was fired from E! for allowing Eva Longoria to criticize the network and support Catt Sadler. She filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Thursday. She claims she was unfairly terminated and replaced by a man. Gram-Moreno elaborated, “They said, if there’s any mention of Catt in the pre-show, make sure you flag it. You’re censoring celebrities; it’s just not a good idea in my humble opinion. But it wasn’t my decision.” However, the producer claims there were just too many prerecorded interviews to thoroughly review them all, and she was unable to listen to Longoria’s interview all the way through. So when she says towards the end, “We stand with you, Catt,” Gram-Moreno was “devastated about the mistake,” and apologized to her executive producer via text, who said it was probably unavoidable. Five days later, however, Gram-Moreno said she was fired from all upcoming shows she had already been booked for, including the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Grammys, and the Oscars. E! spokeswoman, Sarah Goldstein insists that Gram-Moreno is just a freelancer who averages 20 days a year, and she was let go only due to performance issues. Continue reading →

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty Big Ballers don’t lie. According to ESPN’s latest report on UCLA’s men’s basketball team, LaVar Ball was telling the truth when he went toe to toe with Donald Trump . LaVar Ball Was Right, Trump Had Nothing to Do With LiAngelo & Two UCLA Players Being Let Go From Chinese Jail & Lied to Make Himself Look Like a Hero https://t.co/Vpfuybiztp pic.twitter.com/NffjbkWuJT — Robert Littal (@BSO) March 2, 2018 via BSO and ESPN : Among the new details that have emerged: what the players stole from the other two stores besides the sunglasses from Louis Vuitton; that the players were required to leave the police station multiple times to return the items they stole to all three stores; that one player hid a pair of stolen sunglasses in UCLA head coach Steve Alford’s hotel room; how UCLA and Pac-12 officials bailed the players out of jail without committing an NCAA violation; how charges were dropped, the bail refunded and the players’ passports returned two days before White House chief of staff John Kelly called the players to inform them that President Donald Trump was working on their release; how UCLA appeased Chinese authorities by keeping the players in China for 72 hours after the rest of the team had returned to Los Angeles; and why school officials thought it wise to thank Trump and Kelly while still unsure of the impact of their efforts. Trump lied about when he found out, lied about helping them get out, lied about them potentially 10 years in jail. LaVar Ball was right when he said it was handled before Trump even knew about it https://t.co/Vpfuybiztp — Robert Littal (@BSO) March 2, 2018 Three UCLA freshmen, Ball (18 years old at the time), Riley (19) and Hill (17), walked to Pinghai Road, where they entered the Louis Vuitton store shortly after sunset, made their way to the second floor and looked at a display of sunglasses. Ball attempted to buy a pair that retailed for $730, but his credit card was declined, not an uncommon occurrence for people on a trip who had not alerted their credit card companies of their travels. Also it should be noted that ESPN which will plaster any LaVar negative story on the homepage, has this story so buried on their site, it isn't a headline on Homepage, NBA page or NCAA BBall page https://t.co/Vpfuybiztp — Robert Littal (@BSO) March 2, 2018 Ball, Riley and Hill left the store and talked outside before re-entering a few minutes later. The players returned to the second floor, and each took a pair of glasses and exited without paying. The trio then walked across Pinghai Road to a mall with more affordable retail stores such as Uniqlo, Zara and H&M and took more sunglasses, these of the $15 variety, from a local boutique store before walking into H&M and snagging a 5-pack of beaded bracelets retailing for $6. When Ball, Riley and Hill made the short walk around the street corner back to the Hyatt, the three freshmen had shoplifted from three stores in a span of 90 minutes. Trump routinely takes credit for other's people work. Media tried to force LaVar Ball to thank Trump when the reality is Trump purposefully lied & then threatened to leave black kids in a chinese jail they were never going to be in https://t.co/Vpfuybiztp — Robert Littal (@BSO) March 2, 2018 Donald Trump first found out about the situation, according to The New York Times, when members of his staff saw it on CNN just before Trump’s dinner with the president of China, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on Thursday. Trump would later tell reporters on Tuesday, Nov. 14, that he first heard about the situation “two days ago,” at which point he personally asked the Chinese president to look into the matter. The White House did not respond to requests to clear up the timeline, but UCLA sources say they didn’t become aware of Trump’s involvement until Sunday when White House chief of staff John Kelly called the players to say that Trump was intervening on their behalf and that he was optimistic of a quick resolution. A Pac-12 source, who was not present for the actual call from Kelly, confirmed the UCLA sources’ description of the timeline. “The situation was already resolved by the time we heard about Trump’s involvement,” one team source said. “That’s not to take away from the fact that he got involved, but the players already had their passports back and their flights booked to go home Tuesday night when Gen. Kelly called the players.” In a New York Times story headlined “How Trump Helped Liberate UCLA ‘Knuckleheads’ from China,” Kelly said Trump’s intervention, as well as efforts by State Department diplomats, led to the reduction of the charges to the equivalent of misdemeanors as well as the release of the three players to their hotel where they were placed under temporary house arrest. “The players were already checked into the hotel before the public discovered they were arrested,” a team source said. “They also were not under house arrest. It was our decision to keep them at the hotel until the situation was resolved. The charges were dropped, they weren’t reduced, and that happened two days before we heard from Gen. Kelly.”
A s we get closer to the royal wedding date on May 19, more guest list details are being revealed by Kensington Palace. In a very cool, very modern move, Prince Harry and his soon-to-be wife Meghan Markle have invited 2,640 members of the public to Windsor Castle to celebrate their nuptials. Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle will invite 2,640 members of the public to Windsor Castle on their wedding day to watch the arrivals of the Bride and Groom and their guests and the carriage procession as it departs from the castle. pic.twitter.com/pII5T4Ctcm — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) March 2, 2018 We can expect a lot of social media selfies and videos from the thousands who will be attending. But questions still remain about what famous celebrities will be gracing the royals with their presence. Here’s who may show up at St. George’s Chapel (where the ceremony will take place) and Windsor Castle (where a celebration will happen): The Obamas Barack and Michelle Obama have already secured spots on the royal wedding invite list . The invite reportedly angered that man in the White House, but the president’s ego doesn’t matter here. Prince Harry and Barack Obama are total bros pic.twitter.com/TXKlJShnyX — Esquire (@esquire) February 28, 2018 If the Obamas show up, then we wonder if they will bring daughters Malia and Sasha . Hopefully, Malia Obama will be able to get away from Harvard to attend the wedding. The eldest Obama daughter could even bring her reported British boyfriend, Rory Farquharson. The Carters Beyoncé and Jay Z are known to have big moments in big places. You remember when B sang the national anthem at President Obama’s inauguration in 2013? You remember when Bey and Blue Ivy showed up for the Obama’s Easter Egg Roll at the White House in 2016? Well, rumors are flying about Bey being asked to perform at the royal ceremony . If Bey decides against performing, then she and her hubby could still just make headlines for being fashionable weddings guests. Yes, they can slay on a royal level! The Wests Yes, Mr. West may be in the building! Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West have proven that they love parties. They may just have earned an invite to one of the biggest days of Markle and Harry’s lives. We would definitely get some crazy Instagram selfies from them, and Mrs. West may even try to upstage the bride-to-be. But it may be hard for them to travel now that they just welcomed their third baby, Chicago West, to the family. Serena Williams Williams will be a bridesmaid at the wedding, UK’s The Daily Star reported. She is already carrying out her bridesmaid’s duties by helping Markle to get in better shape for the big day. “Serena has got Meghan doing these tough weights sessions that will have her in incredible shape for her big day,” a friend of Markle’s told the Daily Star. “Meghan told Serena she wants to have a strong but sexy physique when she walks down the aisle. She doesn’t want to be super-skinny.” Rihanna Bad gurl RiRi got to know Harry during his 2016 tour of her native Barbados, Marie Claire reported. She could jump on the mic or keep the party going during the reception, right?

Source: Ilya S. Savenok / Getty Immigration has been a very hot topic in the U.S. since before the 2016 election and even more now that Trump is in office and made his stance on immigrantion known. Many celebrities who are immigrants themselves or come from immigrant families have strived to do something to help the cause—and French Montana and DJ Khaled are the latest to do so. DJ Khaled Joins French Montana's “We Are The Dream” Campaign as the Son of Palestinian Immigrants https://t.co/9EaPvAiH40 — People (@people) February 28, 2018 Rapper French Montana’s ‘We Are The Dream’ campaign is continuing to power ahead with the addition of fellow music industry veteran DJ Khaled, according to PEOPLE magazine. The ‘We Are The Dream’ campaign was launched by French Montana in a collaboration with MTV and the nonprofit organization Get Schooled. DJ Khaled is the son of immigrants and French Montana is an immigrant as well. Via PEOPLE : French Montana wants to make sure they stay in school, which is why he launched “We Are The Dream” — to ensure undocumented immigrants, currently enrolled in educational institutions in the U.S., stay in school. “I am one of tens of thousands of first-and-second-generation immigrants that are having a significant positive impact on the United States,” the Morocco-born rapper told Rolling Stone. “I am excited to lead others in this fight to ensure Dreamers connect with the support they need to get to college and make their American Dream come true.” “We all deserve our own path to success, no matter where we are from,” Khaled tells PEOPLE CHICA. “The key to success is love, we win more with love and unity.” The hit-making producer urges fans to join the movement by posting selfies on social media using the hashtag #WeAreTheDream and tagging @GetSchooled. Get Schooled also launched a website providing resources for undocumented immigrant students and their families, which includes scholarship information and real-life stories about immigration. The initiative is also donating several $1,000 grants to schools and organizations advocating on behalf of undocumented students.

I like to think that Ana Braga’s biggest claim to fame was doing snapchat takeovers back when I put effort into growing my social media thinking it would help me get paid…not that Ana Braga had that engaged of an audience…but because I would rather promote and work with a 50 year old Brazilian sex worker in Vegas with a rocking body, who has seen some shit in her quest to getting to this level of “celebrity”…which is really just knowing the old timer paparazzi and staging ridiculous stunts of the paparazzi…giving them the feeling of relevance when the pics get published…I find it way more fascinating than all the insta THOTS THOTTING around… This Ana Braga was in the Phoebe Price circle, along with a few other weirdos who do the same paparazzi hustle, and they are the only thing that are pure or real in Hollywood to me…seriously…whatever this is…it is wonderful… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE The post Ana Braga Wants Your Attention of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Zoe Kravitz is the worst. I mean I am sure there are worst people in the world than her…but whenever I see her pop up, I instantly think to myself that she’s the worst… She’s a Lisa Bonet x Lenny Kravitz, rich brat who I guess is 1/2 black by having two half black parents, making her some accessible Black Panthher…. She has decided she’s a fashion model, or fashion icon, or fashion influencer, or an actor, while acting all cool or arty… But she’s just a rich kid, the media or anyone who works with her just love celebrity kids, they write about how cool her style is, or who she is fucking, like they are celebrities of their own…but instead are just the worst kind of mooch…. But then again, her dad was a mooch too, his parents were rich and famous, before he was dating models and pulling his dick out on stage while singing annoying music…so I guess the cycle just continues…. While her mom was the skinned bitch from the Cosby Show you may have masturbated to cuz she was the more accessible character on the show for the racists appalled a black family could be on TV, or be doctors, like you were Bill Cosby with less ‘ludes… The post Zoe Kravitz See Through Shirt of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
