Vin Diesel Speaks at Paul Walker Memorial, Thanks Fans For Loving "Angel in Heaven"

Vin Diesel gave an emotional speech at the Paul Walker crash site and makeshift memorial Monday night, addressing the throng of fans who have gathered there. Paul’s co-star in the Fast and the Furious films addressed his fellow mourners, thanking them for “showing that angel in heaven how much you appreciate him.” Diesel and Walker considered each other close friends off camera, and it showed as Vin spoke to the star’s fans with a heavy heart. Check out the clip: Vin Diesel Speaks to Crowd at Paul Walker Memorial When Vin arrived at the site, an officer allowed him to use the loudspeaker from a police car to address the crowd with his short but heartfelt speech. “To show the love that you have shown Paul,” an emotional Diesel told Walker’s fans, speaking for so many of them, “it’s gonna stay with me forever.” No doubt Paul Walker’s father would approve, and agree. After the speech, TMZ asked Vin about the future of the movie franchise, and he replied, “I can’t even think about anything but the loss of a loved one.” Check out their version of Diesel’s appearance below … Vin Diesel Gets Emotional About Paul Walker Like Tyrese before him, the loss of Paul is clearly hitting Vin and the rest of the Fast family especially hard.

Paul Walker Death: Fast & Furious 7 Delayed or Done For Following Tragedy?

Fast & Furious 7 is facing an obvious delay in production following the tragic death of Paul Walker, but will the 2014 action movie even be completed? Walker, along with the rest of the cast and crew, was scheduled to return to Atlanta today to resume shooting the big-budget, car-themed blockbuster. Those plans are on hold until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest, and given the way in which Paul Walker died , the hiatus could be much longer. Director James Wan and Universal execs held a conference call this morning to discuss the state of the film, and whether any rewrites are necessary. Moreover, the brain trust wants to make sure that if they proceed at all, they do so in a manner that would be respectful to Walker and his passing. Walker, 40, was a favorite on the set of the Fast franchise, and his death has left crew and cast members, including Vin Diesel (pictured above), devastated. He was reprising his role as Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious 7 , the seventh film in the racing-centric action franchise slated to hit theaters July 11. The movie had been on an expedited filming schedule in order to make that summer release date, so any production delay would likely impact it. Sources close to the production say that most of the coming week’s scenes centered around Paul, too, so there are obvious issues with the script as is. Additionally, marketing Fast 7 could pose a major challenge, considering that the actor died in a crash of a flashy car similar to those used in the films. Paul Walker Killed in Car Crash: Report Beyond the logistical issues, there is the collateral damage caused by the loss of the popular star, whose absence could be too great to overcome. On that note, at least several notable members of the Fast cast and crew say that they won’t be returning to the set anytime soon, reports indicate. Regardless of what Universal has in mind for a timeline or revised script, insiders say some of the main stars are “too distraught to work anyway.” At the end of the day, the emotions of the cast and crew are the biggest hurdle. As one source put it, “No one wants to even think about the movie. Period.” Regardless, given the outpouring of grief and love for Paul we’ve seen in the last 12 hours, it’s clear that his legacy as an actor and person will never be forgotten.

Amber Rose Speaks On Wiz Khalifa Movie Sex Scene Remember back in 2011 when Taylor Gang guru Wiz Khlaifa teamed up with his fellow friend of the kush Snoop Dogg for the movie “Mac And Devin Go To High School?” Yeah, neither do we.

Jennifer Lawrence on Miley Cyrus: Young Sex Sells, For Some Disgusting Reason

Suffice it to say, Jennifer Lawrence is the anti-Miley Cyrus. When the Catching Fire star was asked about the sexualization of young women in Hollywood like the “Wrecking Ball” singer, she did not hold back. “It is a part of the entertainment industry that sells,” the actress said on BBC’s Newsnight . “For some disgusting reason, young sex sells even more.” The latter’s recent antics include lighting up on stage and Twerking with a dwark in an ultra-revealing outfit as she accepted an award at Sunday’s MTV EMAs. The former is content to just let her work do the talking. “It’s not really something that I worry about because I feel like everybody’s kind of got their own path,” Jen told the BBC, without naming names. “They have their own way of finding themselves and for some people that’s how they feel best, that’s how they feel sexy, that’s how they want to perform.” “I am just saying to each their own,” Lawrence added diplomatically, when the interviewer mentioned Miley Cyrus twerking , dwarves and so forth. Jen, who attended the Catching Fire premiere with Miley’s ex-fiancee Liam Hemsworth, her co-star in The Hunger Games trilogy, is very self-aware, however. She says she makes “conscious decisions” to be a role model. “Growing up I didn’t have a female hero the way that Katniss is,” she said of her movie character. “I think she’s a wonderful role model for young girls.” “I’m just really happy that they have a character like that.” Not exactly fightin’ words from a true class act, and a woman whose talent matches her maturity. But it’s pretty clear where she stands on such antics. We gotta ask: Who’s the better celebrity role model …   Jennifer Miley View Poll »

The latest teaser trailer for Lars von Trier’ s sure-to-be-nudie masterpiece Nymphomaniac (2013) has hit the interwebs and already been involved in a brief scuffle with YouTube over its explicit content. The trailer was removed from the streaming site soon after its release and then later reinstated with a content warning. It’s a doozy too, featuring the fuzzy full frontal of Stacy Martin as she gets her lap licked by an older guy, then screwed by Shia LaBeouf. All this on top of the movie promo posters featuring the characters showing off their “O” faces, and we’re getting a antsy in the pantsy that Nymphomaniac has yet to set a U.S. release date.

On The Grind: Jill Scott To Star In James Brown Biopic

Jill is gunning for that Oscar. Jill Scott To Star In James Brown Biopic We all know Jill can sang and we’re sure she can act circles around singers who try to act, so this should be a good movie. According to Rolling Out: Get On Up, the upcoming biopic about legendary soul singer James Brown, has added two more notables to the cast. Dan Aykroyd and Jill Scott have joined the production; Aykroyd will play Ben Bart, president of the agency that represented Brown for almost 50 years and Scott will play one of the Godfather of Soul’s wives. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the role was written specifically for the singer-actress. Brown himself will be played by Chadwick Boseman, star of 42. The film begins shooting this month and follows Brown’s life from childhood through his influential, and often-turbulent, career. Legendary Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is co-producing the project. The film had been in limbo for more than 15 years, but the project has been fast-tracked since producers finally secured the rights to Brown’s musical catalog. During the long road to getting this film made, superstar Eddie Murphy, director Spike Lee and numerous others had been attached to the movie. Brown himself was assisting with getting the film made before his death in December 2006. Viola Davis, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and “Walking Dead’s” Lennie James are also featured in the film. Tate Taylor will be directing. Taylor directed The Help previously. Co-producer Brian Grazer told Rolling Stone, “I like to make movies about mastery and genius, and it’s hard to find great subjects. And James Brown is a visually dynamic subject.” Will you be buying your popcorn and tickets?

Chit Chatter: Chilli Reveals Why Usher Was Left Out Of TLC Biopic & Addresses Threats From Pebbles’ Daughter

Chilli goes IN about Left Eye’s sister, Usher, Pebble’s daughter and more Chilli Reveals Why Usher Wasn’t Included In TLC Biopic The TLC Biopic did massive numbers and had a mostly favorable response from viewers, but there’s also been some highly-publicized backlash from TLC’s former manager Pebbles in the midst of all the praise. Both TLC and Pebbles have been very vocal about their thoughts on the movie and Chilli recently spoke with The Jasmine Brand about the l atest shade from Pebbles’ daughter while also addressing the widely-asked question of why Usher was left out of the biopic. Check out a few interview excerpts below: On criticism from Pebble’s Daughter: You know what? I don’t know – To be honest with you – I’ve been so caught up in thanking God with the blessings; with the success of this film. All the other stuff or half of the stuff that I don’t see – I’ll hear about it like from you or someone’s going to say something to me. We just felt we put out our relationship with her because that’s who we had the relationships with, that’s who we had those experiences with was Pebbles; not her children. And we’ve always had love for them – I’ve known them since they were babies. They were little so they weren’t even able to comprehend what was going on between us and their mom because they were children. So I don’t know. I really don’t have anything to say about the kids or anything like that, besides the fact that I hope they’re doing well and understand them being upset because everybody loves their mom. You just love your mother. But at the same time, at the end of the day, this is what happened between TLC and her. We didn’t make up these things. We just did not. Why would we do that? It seems like most of the general public is riding with TLC’s side of the story on this one. Who do you believe in all of this, Bossip fam? Chilli also gave a detailed response to Usher being left out of the biopic and clapped back at Lisa’s sister Reigndrop, accusing her of being attention-thirsty. Hit the flip to hear what she had to say.
