One morning in 2014, Peter Silberman woke to a roaring in his left ear. Sounds, even the soft ones, suddenly hurt; he could barely stand to hear his own voice. Such a sudden shift in sensory experience would be troubling for anyone, but Silberman found himself facing an especially steep challenge. He had just released… Read more »
At my first screening of Silence, George Lucas introduced Martin Scorsese’s new Japan-set spiritual drama at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre by praising it as a film that belongs in the 20th century. Whatever Lucas meant by that, Silence feels far older, even archaic, bemoaning as it does the arduousness of European colonialism. “It’s Hard Out… Read more »
By now, you’re almost certainly aware that Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt . The intensely private couple has been predictably tight-lipped about their legal battles, but naturally, that hasn’t kept the tabloid press from prying. Now it looks as though Jolie may have inadvertently revealed more than she intended to about her private battle with Pitt by going to incredible lengths to keep news of the split out of the gossip columns. It seems Angie has been getting legal on bloggers and entertainment writers whom she feels crossed the line in their coverage of her split with Brad. One blogger who received a cease and desist from Jolie is none other than the notorious Perez Hilton, who did not take her request kindly. Hilton posted a screenshot of his response to Angelina’s lawyers on Instagram: Hilton captioned the above message (which he concluded with a polite “Such my dick!”) with the following: “In other news, #AngelinaJolie’s lawyers at Greenberg Glusker have just threatened to sue me for my coverage of her split from #BradPitt. ME!! I have always been one of Angelia Jolie’s loudest and strongest supporters and defenders!!!!! “This was my email back to Angelina’s lawyers, #BertFields and #PriyaSapori. Glad I’m not running for president!!” Shockingly, Perez’s tersely-worded email was apparently enough to get Angelina’s lawyers to back down. The offending piece is still on his website, and Jolie’s legal team has yet to file suit, several days after they reportedly received Hilton’s response. So what does this all this tell us about the Pitt-Jolie split? Well, for starters, it’s interesting that Angelina is the one who’s concerned about details of her split going public and not Brad. After all, Pitt is the one being investigated for child abuse after allegedly getting into a physical confrontation with his son aboard a private jet. In addition, these cease and desist orders come on the heels of a new round of reports (allegedly issued from Angie’s camp) that prior rumors that Brad visited his kids last week and is working to hammer out a divorce settlement are patently false.

Or maybe she is! We don’t know! Please don’t sue is, Angie!!!

Friday night, Christina Grimmie was shot to death following a concert in a senseless act of violence by Kevin James Loibl . The 22-year-old singer and former contestant on The Voice had a spirited heart and a promising career that was cut short by this disturbed individual. Further deaths and injuries might have occurred had it not been for her brother, Marcus Grimmie, who tackled Loibl upon witnessing the attack on his sister. During the struggle, Loibl turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. Marcus, who goes by Mark, has now broken his silence by posting a heartfelt message about his sister to Facebook. “Christina was more than my sister. She was a partner in life. A superstar. A goofball. Introverted. And a friend to everyone. Genuinely,” he wrote. “But above all…she was my baby sister. She loved the Lord and her family and was always there for me and I honestly don’t know what ill do without her.” Mark then humbly asked friends and fans to share memories they have of Christina to the page to honor her life. “But please, if you are reading this far, I would love all and any of you to post pics of you and her and/or memories you have of her down in the comments,” he shared. “I will cherish it forever and always. So please do that for me.” Christina Grimmie Auditions on The Voice “Thank you all so so much. The support has been crazy and I do feel a peace. I just don’t have any words. I love you all.” A friend of Christina’s, Ashly Nicole, told E! News that Mark and his sister were “as close as can be.” “He was the perfect brother to her and he became almost like a big brother to me too,” she said. “They were only a year apart and he would always talk about how he would do anything for her. She was his world. He cared about her so much.” The 27-year-old Loibl was a resident of St. Petersburg, Fla. and traveled two hours that evening specifically to murder Christina, according to officials. Police continue to investigate a possible motive. View Slideshow: Christina Grimmie Shooting Death: Stars Pay Tribute to The Voice Alum
