The Side-Eye: Canadian Authorities Detained The Game Over This “New Information”

As we told you yesterday, some Canadian promoter set Game up to fail , by having him fly to Canada only to be detained for violating immigration laws. According to TMZ , the promoter may not have been as janky as we thought. Canadian immigrations on the other hand… A rep for Substance Entertainment Group — the promotion company behind Game’s tour in Canada — tells TMZ, the tour promoter got a call from Canadian Customs while Game was on the plane on his way to Canada. We’re told customs informed the promoter that Game would be denied entry “due to new information received that Game is affiliated with organized crime and is an active member of the Bloods street gang.” The rep claims Game was blindsided by the last-minute red flag — telling us, concert organizers had secured all permits and approval weeks ago to get Game into the country. “New information?” GTFOHWTBS. TMZ’s sources say Game’s been deported back to the States. But since he hasn’t gone back to Twitter yet, we’re gonna guess he’s still behind bars, on day two of that 14 day hold , eh?

Michelle Williams Proud To Show Her Daughter ‘Blue Valentine’ Someday

‘I feel like I could stand behind it,’ actress says of racy NC-17-rated film. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Michelle Williams Photo: MTV News Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling have an NC-17-rated, rather-depressing love affair in their new, buzzy flick “Blue Valentine.” The film follows a married couple over the course of their relationship and boasts some graphic sex scenes to help weave the tale. So, is Williams nervous about her daughter, Matilda, checking out the film one day? “I’ve been thinking about that recently, the last couple days,” she told MTV News at a junket for the film. “I thought, ‘What would her reaction to that be?’ “I feel proud of this movie, and I feel like I could stand behind it when she grows up and says, ‘What were you doing for those two months in Pennsylvania?’ I feel like I could say, ‘This is what I made.’ ” The film, which opens on New Year’s Eve, may be too dark for a child to see, but much of Williams’ post-“Dawson’s Creek” work has been thought-provoking, something she said she’ll be proud to share with her daughter someday. “And I feel like that with most of my work now: I feel like I’m excited for the day when she’s old enough to see it, because my aim is to make her proud that the time I spent away from her wasn’t in vain,” she explained. While any mother/daughter viewings of “Blue Valentine” are yet to be determined, right now the pair is happy watching more family-friendly fare. “She kind of lives in a Mary Poppins world,” Williams said. ” ‘Singing in the Rain’ is our current.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

10 women arrested for being emo in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's religious police have arrested 10 “emo” women for allegedly causing a disturbance in a coffee shop, Al-Yaum newspaper reported on Saturday. The news comes amid reports of a growing backlash from some women against the religious police, including assaults against officers from women stopped by the police officers from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The coffee shop owner in the eastern city of Dammam called the Commission to complain after the young women, dressed and made up in the “emo” fashion, apparently began disturbing other clients. The religious police then called their parents to come and collect the women, and to sign pledges that the girls would not repeat their ostensibly offensive un-Islamic behaviour and dress. According to recent reports, growing numbers of urban young Saudi women are latching on to the emo fashion popular from Japan to Europe and the Americas. While Saudi women normally must appear in public shrouded by all-black abayas and headscarves, some daringly open their abayas in places such as malls and coffee shops to reveal more trendy outfits underneath. http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1262942/Saudi-religious-police-nab- 'emo'-girls added by: grassroutes
