Source: Pacific Press / Getty Harvey Weinstein Reportedly Reached $44 Million Deal to Settle Lawsuits According to The New York Times , Harvey Weinstein and his former studio’s board members have reached a tentative $44 million deal to resolve lawsuits filed by women who accused him of sexual misconduct. The $44 million settlement would include $30 million for the accusers, creditors, and former employees of the studio, as well as an additional $14 million in legal fees. The settlement is claimed to be supported by all parties and will be reviewed for approval in a hearing on June 4. He is currently facing criminal charges in New York for allegations of sexual violence against two women in addition to more than 80 women that have accused him of wrongdoing, and many of those complaints involve sexual harassment, which is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Weinstein still faces criminal charges, and those cases will move forward. He has pleaded not guilty to rape and other sex crimes in a criminal case in Manhattan. The case is scheduled to go to trial in September.
Source: Jub Rubjob / Getty Viral Video Of Black Man Running From Police Sparks Controversy There’s a war going on online , no hot take is safe from. Early this morning, rapper and activist @Tef_Poe posted a video of a young black man escaping police arrest and doing the Jesse Owens on a couple of cops who weren’t paying attention. That video was reposted by Marc Lamont Hill with a caption that triggered a great many people. Check it out below. View this post on Instagram Legends are born every day. Be inspired. (NOTE: This post has sparked a lot of conversation. Some are celebrating this man’s escape. Others are saying it’s irresponsible to run from police, as they could have shot him in the back. This discourse is fascinating, as it prompts a series of questions for me: How do you resist unjust laws? Why do we accept and normalize the entirely illegal act of shooting as suspect as they run away? How do we create strategies of resistance that allow our children to still survive and come home? What is it about this video that makes so many folk want to cheer this young man on?) A post shared by Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) on May 25, 2019 at 4:30am PDT The outraged folks argue that this video is dangerous and that Black people should not be encouraged to run away from police as they might be shot. Those who disagree retort that they were THRILLED to see the young man escape the pigs and rightfully note that we’ve seen many, many, MANY Black people comply with law enforcement and STILL be killed. Where do you stand on this issue? Do you see an inherent danger “promoting” people to run from police? Should Black folks just do everything police say in order to stay alive? Let us know what you think down in the comments.

Dionne Warwick is an absolute legend and one of the first black women singers who paved the way for legends like Beyonce to flourish. However, her recent comments on what makes someone iconic has rubbed the Beyhive the wrong way and an uncivil war has erupted on these here internets. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). During an interview with ESSENCE , Warwick had this to say: “It’s wonderful to see how she’s been able to create what and who she wanted to be and who she is…very proud of that, I really am. Now, sustaining and becoming a big icon that Gladys Knight, or Patti LaBelle, or Johnny Mathis, or Frank Sinatra, or Sammy Davis Jr. is? I doubt that, I really do. And I love her to death and can appreciate her talent. But that iconic status that I just mentioned, those four names? [She has] a long read [ahead].” This, of course, was taken as shade because she didn’t bow down and kiss Bey’s ring. However, she took to Twitter to clarify in a now-deleted tweet that read: “What I said is in quotes. What @Essence said is not. It takes a long time to reach and achieve iconic status. That’s not to say that Beyoncé isn’t well on her way. She is a gifted performer. That was a reach from Essence.” Dionne warwick's biggest hit is widely known through another woman's voice what does she know about being iconic pic.twitter.com/ZsMR3gOQBS — thais (@thaisbmartini) May 23, 2019 It didn’t matter as a generational war had erupted.

Superhero films are all the rage these days, but we haven’t seen a hero flick done quite like James Gunn’s Brightburn . Brightburn tells the story of a farm couple living in Brightburn, Kansas who has had trouble conceiving a child. One night, a meteor falls from the sky near their farm with a baby inside, so they decide to adopt him, naming him Brandon. Ten years later, Brandon discovers that he has superhuman strength, and literally, all hell breaks loose. We caught up with two of the stars from the film — David Denman who plays the father Kyle Breyer and Jackson A. Dunn who plays Brandon Breyer/Brightburn — and they dished on all things horror, working with James Gunn, and whether or not there actually is some good in even the worst people. On whether or not some people are born inherently bad: Dunn: I think it depends on someone’s upbringing and the things that affect them in life. Their trauma. It’s all about background Denman: I concur with what he said. I don’t that anyone is just purely evil. There are people who are misguided, and that’s unfortunate. But i think there’s always a balance, both things lie within a human being. Check out the full video above to see what else the cast had to say about horror films and much more. Catch Brightburn in theaters this Friday, May 24th. Tell them we sent you.

View this post on Instagram Only ONE episode left of the LAST ( ) season of #gameofthrones – the absolute legend @maisie_williams as #aryastark #GoT #nikon #smpsp #hbo #stillsphotographer #season8 #forthethrone #maisiewilliams A post shared by Helen Sloan (@helenstills) on May 14, 2019 at 3:03pm PDT “Game Of Thrones” Actresses Admit The Ending Was Disappointing “Game of Thrones’” finale left much to be desired for many longtime fans of the show, but it turns out that the show’s actors would have written different endings for themselves as well. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Maisie Williams said her biggest regret for her character was not getting a season 8 scene with Cersei actress Lena Headey. “I just wanted to be on set with Lena again, she’s good fun,” Williams explained. “And I wanted Arya to kill Cersei even if it means [Arya] dies too. Even up to the point when Cersei’s with Jaime I thought [while reading the script], ‘He’s going to whip off his face [and reveal its Arya]’ and they’re both going to die. I thought that’s what Arya’s drive has been.” We’re pretty sure the WHOLE world of watchers were disappointed that Arya didn’t employ any of her Many-Faced-God skills during Season 8 — and it would have been especially gratifying against Cersei as Jaime, right? View this post on Instagram As I watch all the “thank yous” and all the final “goodbyes” on screen – a flood of emotions accompanies each one. All the thankyous, all the final goodbyes behind the camera. Our wonderful #gameofthrones family… we’ll always have Westeros @maisie_williams #maisiewilliams #rorymccann #aryastark #sandorclegane #GoT #nikon #smpsp #hbo #stillsphotographer #season8 #forthethrone A post shared by Helen Sloan (@helenstills) on May 13, 2019 at 1:44pm PDT Williams says ultimately she understood the direction show writers decided to take with Arya: “The Hound says, ‘You want to be like me? You want to live your life like me?’” Williams said. “In my head, the answer was: ‘Yeah.’ But I guess sleeping with Gendry, seeing Jon again, realizing she’s not just fighting for herself anymore but also her family — it’s bringing up all these human emotions that Arya hasn’t felt for a long time. When The Hound asks her if she has another option, all of a sudden there are so many more things in [Arya’s] life that she can live for, that she can do. It was a shock for me because that wasn’t how I envisioned her arc going this year. Then I realized there were other things I could play, bringing Arya back to being a 16-year-old again.” “It’s not a Game of Thrones ending for Arya, it’s a happy ending,” she concludes. “It gave me a place to take Arya that I never thought I’d go with her again.” View this post on Instagram Beautiful @nathalieemmanuel You represented hope and true strength. I didn’t like that day up there A post shared by Lena Headey (@iamlenaheadey) on May 13, 2019 at 11:23pm PDT Williams isn’t the only one who was looking for an Arya/Cersei faceoff. According to EW, Headey said she hoped she’d have a scene with Williams in the final season as well. “I lived that fantasy until I read the script,” Headey said. “There were chunky scenes and it was nothing that I had dreamt about. It was a bit of come down and you have to accept that it wasn’t to be. There is something poetic about the way it all happens in the end with her and Jaime.” She’s right — there’s nothing anyone can do but to accept the weak a** ending that the writers gave us. What do your “GOT” alternate endings look like?
Here’s Madison Beer in a really tight dress with her titties pushed up to her chin… I guess she is doing what she does best, which is looking like a desperate for attention fuck, doing a fashion show style walk for the paparazzi…working it for the camera…like she’s ready to fuck the camera…loving the lens….moving for the lens…all with her big tits pushed up to her neck…. You know, exploiting the tits on the small frame to get noticed, to get views like she did when she exploited them for youtube thanks to her mom being a stage mom who saw opportunity in whoring her out at an underage…getting perverts lured in by the young tits, to follow her, and make her seem more relevant to the record labels who NOW own her….and only OWN her cuz of the VIEWS she got being a young slut n instagram…. They’ve collectively trolled them all, with Youtube Views in a time when the record labels weren’t sophisticated enough to know what was real hype, or just young girl titty on youtube for millions of old perverts into young girl tity on youtube….making her an official star but we don’t know if she can even sing…definitely not as well as she can be a slut for the paparazzi to get noticed and EXIST….
