Messy Madea: Tyler Perry Donates $250K To Mega-Rich Ministry Meathead Joel Osteen

Getty Images Tyler Perry Donates To Harvey Relief, Gives To Joel Osteen Tyler Perry released a video on his Facebook page announcing that he is donating $1 million to different efforts that go toward helping those affected by Hurricane Harvey. He explained that he was dispersing his money among different organizations, $250,000 going to Beyonce’s pastor, Rudy Rasmus, who founded the Houston non-profit Bread of Life. Another $250,000, he explained, he is giving to none other that Joel Osteen, then proceeded to defend the pastor whose been catching heat for his greedy ways all week. Perry defended his mans Joel and said he understands why he didn’t open the doors of the church for shelter immediately. He said about the incident, “I know there’s been some controversy about Joel Osteen and him not opening the doors of the church. Let me tell you something: Joel and Victoria are amazing people. There’s no way they would lock people out of the church and not let people in for shelter. There were some safety concerns…I’m sending $250,000 to Lakewood to make sure that they can get all of the supplies people need, and I know that they will. That’s the kind of person he is.” Oh no baby, what is you doing? Of course it’s a blessing to donate money to the victims of such a horrendously devastated area, but he could have found somewhere else to donate. Joel Osteen has been stumbling his way through interviews trying to defend his decision not to open the church until receiving backlash, but now he’s got Tyler Perry by his side to defend him. SMH.

Profit Enemy: Flavor Flav Sues Chuck D And Producer Over Years Of Unpaid Royalties

Image via Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post via Getty Images Flavor Flav Sues Chuck D And Public Enemy Flavor Flav wants his money and he wants it NOW. According to TMZ , Flav has filed a lawsuit against his long-time partner Chuck D along with a Public Enemy producer as well as their management for failing to pay him his accrued royalties. Flav claims that he and Chuck D had a life-long agreement to split an money made from their music, concerts and merchandise, but he hasn’t seen a red cent in years. Being that he allegedly wrote at least 50 of P.E.’s music, he wants his guap because Chuck D is still getting checks. Flav was further enraged when his likeness was used on the new Public Enemy album Nothing Is Quick In The Desert and he was only paid $7500 of the $75,000 he requested. Producer Gary G-Wiz is also catching legal shots from Flav for allegedly creating P.E. action figures, getting filthy rich and never paying out the royalties. No response yet from Chuck D, but this is NOT what we ever expected to hear about an iconic group like Public Enemy.

Race Matters: Actor Ed Skrein Bows Out Of ‘Hellboy’ Flick Amid Accusations Of Whitewashing

Image via Frank Trapper/Corbis via Getty Images Ed Skrein Quits “Hellboy” Over Whitewashing Backlash Very often in this country racism is talked about as a Black vs. white issue, but there are obviously many races of people who are marginalized in American culture. The Asian community is frequently bombarded with racist imagery in comedy, television and film. Today, they got a small victory in an otherwise apathetic war. According to NYDailyNews , actor Ed Skrein was set to star in the upcoming superhero flick “Hellboy” as Major Ben Daimio. For those unfamiliar with the comics, Daimio is Asian, Skrein is as white as the driven snow. Just as we do when Black folks are portrayed as white, the community spoke out against this whitewashing of culture, and like a empathetic and decent human, Ed quit his impending job: pic.twitter.com/8WoSsHXDFO — Ed Skrein (@edskrein) August 28, 2017 Way to go, Ed. Hopefully this will lead to other white actors and actresses stop the f**ksh!t and respect the voices of the people who’s culture they are trying to erase.
