Have a nice day,” Netflix tweeted early this morning in a very no nonsense kind of way—and it wasn’t long before Twitter chimed in with mixed responses. It was also reported that Bright director and producer David Ayer will screenwrite, instead of Max Landis . Hit the flip for some reactions.
I must’ve missed this the other day, but here’s the very last LOVE Advent video for 2017: Karlie Kloss playing basketball in short shorts. Or maybe they’re just regular shorts since Karlie’s so tall. Either way, they should’ve been a few inches shorter. Or nonexistent. Both would’ve made for a way better video, if you ask me. » view all 13 photos
Ellen Page didn’t just flip the calendar to 2018 this week. She flipped her marital status from single to… … MARRIED! The actress took social media followers and fans around the globe by extreme shock on Wednesday night when she confirmed that she recently exchanged vows with girlfriend Emma Portner. “Can’t believe I get to call this extraordinary woman my wife,” the former Juno star wrote on Wednesday, tagging Portner in a post that included one very special photo. The photo featured Page and Portner’s hands, fingers barely touching, wedding rings on full display for all to see. Portner also announced the surprise marriage on her Instagram page, using the same sweet snapshot and writing as a caption: “@ellenpage I LOVE YOU.” The actress first started sharing photos with Portner on social media over the summer. A teacher at the Broadway Dance Center, the new Mrs. Ellen Page originally hails from Ottawa, Ontario, according to her biography on the dance school’s website. Page and Portner have a number of interpretive dance videos online together, while the newlyweds have also occasionally sang cover songs as a duo. Before romancing Portner, the Oscar nominee went steady with Samantha Thomas from September 2015 to early 2017. In 2014, Page came out as gay at a Human Rights Campaign event in an inspiring speech that earned her a standing ovation at the time. “I’m here today because I am gay,” Page told the crowd, adding: “And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.” She concluded as follows: “You have ideas planted in your head, thoughts you never had before, that tell you how you have to act, how you have to dress and who you have to be. “I have been trying to push back, to be authentic, to follow my heart, but it can be hard.” Shortly after making this announcement, Page appeared opposite Ellen DeGeneres on the latter’s talk show and said: “I knew I would be a happier person. I knew that I was gonna feel better and I did not anticipate just how happy I would feel in just every aspect of my life. “Just an ease and a comfort and it’s really been quite extraordinary to feel just the shift. It was pretty much overnight.” View Slideshow: 40 Celebrities Who Are Out and Proud! That’s so wonderful to hear. And so is this news about her marriage. Congrats to Ellen Page and Emma Portner!
I know I used to rag on these LOVE Advent videos and call them lame and boring and things like that, but they’ve been seriously stepping it up this year! And now they’re giving us a video of Hannah Ferguson wrestling another sexy model in lingerie? It’s basically the video of my dreams. Except I’m not in the middle refereeing, but whatever. Maybe we can do that for the sequel next year. » view all 11 photos
Last month, Catelynn Lowell checked into rehab after publicly revealing that she’d been battling suicidal thoughts and severe depression. Lowell has remained at the faciity ever since, and while she’s been unable to update her many social media followers, her husband, Tyler Baltierra, assures fans that she’s making steady progress and hopes to be home soon. “My wife is incredibly strong & courageous,” Tyler tweeted earlier this week. “She inspires me to just be a better human being all around & I’m so honored to share my life with such a selfless soul. I love her so much & can’t wait for her to be home.” He added the hashtag” #CatelynnStrong,” which Teen Mom: OG fans have been using to discuss their own battles with mental illness and the strength that they’ve gained from seeing Lowell be so candid about her struggles. The weeks since Catelynn checked into treatment have not been without their fair share of drama, but thankfully, Lowell has been shielded from it for the sake of her mental health. Just this week, Catelynn’s cast mate Farrah Abraham attacked her on Twitter, claiming that she still smokes pot regularly (despite her claims to the contrary) and that Baltierra is secretly gay . Tyler dealt with the situation himself on Twitter. “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment #makeChesterProud @TalindaB #KeepTalkingMH #thiswontlast,” Catelynn tweeted just prior to entering treatment back in November. She referenced the late Linkin Park Chester Bennington, who took his own life in July, and tagged the Linkin Park singer’s wife, Talinda. “I’m taking the time I need right now to take care of myself for good,” Lowell told Us Weekly in a statement issued later that day. “On November 17th I thought of every possible way to commit suicide … From wrapping a belt around my neck to just running my car into an electric pole. “THANK GOD I have a support system and a HUSBAND and a DAUGHTER … thank god I am self-aware,” she added. “I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better … anyone feeling alone you ARE NOT ALONE! This world needs all of us! We are all here for a reason … Thank you for your support during this tough time.” There’s no word yet on when Catelynn will receive treatment, but Baltierra says her treatment has been going smoothly, and “We’ve been in Arizona for the past 2 weeks visiting her every Sunday,” Tyler recently wrote on Instagram. “I have taken a break from everything & chose to really take this time for me and Nova … Without her mom around, she needs me & my devoted attention. Family always comes first!” Here’s hoping Catelynn continues to receive the love and support she needs. Watch Teen Mom: OG online for more on Lowell’s valiant struggle.

Another day, another lame LOVE Advent video. This time, it’s Alessandra Ambrosio pretending to be a sexy biker, and I just checked and it was directed by the same guy who did yesterday’s stinker, Doug Inglish. The one making the good videos is Phil Poynter. And I just don’t get it. First they let him ruin an Irina Shayk video , and now Alessandra Ambrosio’s? Who gave this guy a camera and access to hot supermodels? I could make a better video with my phone and one hand down my sweatpants. » view all 13 photos

Reggie Ossé was a son, a father, a husband and a beloved friend. In the hip-hop community he was a legend, a podcast host, a writer, a personality, a hip-hop historian, a storyteller and businessman who help bring the biggest and brightest Black voices to the forefront of podcasting via his Loud Speakers Network. Reggie was an avid supporter of us here at Bossip LONG before other major platforms were eager to talk about their love for us. We returned that love in kind. At this time our thoughts and prayers are with his family which is comprised of not only his children, ex-wife and girlfriend, but his business partners at Loud Speakers Network and his TRUE friends in the industry. There is an outpouring of love and heartfelt messages from every corner of the culture in appreciation for the man known as Combat Jack. Turn the page to find out exactly what Reggie Ossé meant to this world.
Women’s tennis hasn’t had a #1 ranked hottie in years, probably ever since Anna Kournikova retired. But after checking out Kate Upton playing tennis in high heels for her LOVE Advent video, I’m convinced she’s got what it takes to become the sport’s next star. Now, I don’t know if she’s actually any good at tennis, but she sure looks great playing it, and if Anna taught us anything, that’s all that really counts. » view all 23 photos
