Game of Thrones’ Queen Cersei BASHES Donald Trump

0

HBO’s Game of Thrones’ Queen Cersei bashed Donald Trump on Twitter and it’s pretty shocking.

Game of Thrones can be one of the most cruelest and horrifying shows on television. And Queen Cersei is probably one of the most despicable characters on the TV show, but even she can’t handle the idea of Donald Trump becoming America’s next president. In fact, Lena Heady was so upset with Donald Trump becoming the GOP nominee that she, like many other celebrities, has taken to Twitter to the world know how she really feels. In her tweets, Heady argues that Donald Trump’s presidency will be filled with fear and paranoia.

Is Heady going to venture into politics after working on the Game of Thrones? Who knows. But, she sounds like she is taking this US presidential election pretty seriously.

Tituss Burgess Reveals How He Landed His ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ Role

Actor Tituss Burgess reveals an amazing story and inspiring acting advice.

Actor Tituss Burgess became a household name nearly over night after Netflix released Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on their streaming platform. But, did you know Tituss Burgess appeared on shows like 30 Rock, Blue Bloods, and Royal Pains? Apparently, Tituss Burgess was just a struggling actor trying to make it in the streets of New York City. But, in a recent interview with Vulture, Burgess reveals how his role on 30 Rock led to his current series and how Alec Baldwin might have had something to do with it.

“I did four episodes on 30 Rock but we never had any kind of conversations about what else I was doing or where I lived, or anything. All of these correlations between Titus and Tituss, we never talked about, so it’s really uncanny how perfect it fit. I tell this story all the time. And I’ll tell it to you. And it is the absolute truth. The last day of 30 Rock, I was living on 47th Street between Eighth and Ninth and my last Broadway show had just closed. It was Guys and Dolls. Alec Baldwin turned to the team on my last day of shooting and said, ‘You guys gotta give this guy a spinoff.’ I had been in pursuit of a purpose, of the next dream to chase. And I wanted to put a pause on theater, so I went home and got on my knees and I prayed, ‘Please, if the universe will allow, if you will grant me, or can find it in your vastness, a series or a job working with the caliber of talent I’ve been working with and types of writers, I will do right by it and I will honor it and I will do it to the best of my abilities.’ That was four years before. Cut to getting this job, and on the first day they called and they said, ‘Tituss, you need to report to 48th and Tenth and someone will walk you to your trailer.’ The trailer for my show was right outside my old apartment where I prayed for this job. I literally could have opened the door and walked into my trailer. I looked around, and I started crying.”

When Tituss Burgess was asked if Baldwin’s comment helped him land his Kimmy Schmidt role he replied, “I don’t even know if he remembers that. He probably said something to everybody after we wrapped, but he was so kind to me when we filmed, he was wonderful. I learned so much from that man because I was in a lot of scenes with him. Particularly how to work on network television, where there is compression of time. You have 21, 22 minutes to tell a story. So if you’ve got a joke where there’s two parts, you better try and forge it into one or it will get cut. He showed me how to be more precise and get to the comedic point in a more clever way. I just had great schooling with him and, of course, Tina and all the writers who gave me notes. But he taught me how to save what you’ve come up with. Great advice.”

I think it just goes to show you that hard work, dedication and a little bit of faith can change your life for the better. It apparently worked for Tituss Burgess who just finished working on season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Viral Instagram Photo Sparks Outrage

Leonardo DiCaprio could be banned from Indonesia after controversial comments go viral on social media.

Leonardo DiCaprio maybe an Oscar-winning actor but, that does not make him immune to other countries’ laws, rules, and regulations.

Leonardo DiCaprio vacationed in Sumatra for a few days and explored the Leuser ecosystem as well as the endangered wildlife living in that part of the world. After enjoying the scenery, DiCaprio decided it was appropriate to tell his millions of fans about the Leuser on Instagram, with a cute orangutan photo. According to The Hollywood Reporter, things didn’t go over too well with Indonesia officials:

Heru Santoso, the spokesman for the Directorate General for Immigration at the Law and Human Rights Ministry, said that DiCaprio used his visit to discredit the palm oil industry and the Indonesian government.

According to reports, DiCaprio, any of the landowners and/or companies that he associated himself with during his visit in Indonesia will be denied a visa the next time they try to visit the country. But, that is a small price to pay for awareness about the environmental conditions the animals and people endure in the country.

On the bright side, Leonardo DiCaprio is putting his money where his mouth is as far as environmental protection efforts go. It’s important to point out that DiCaprio announced his commitment to saving the environment during his Oscar award speech.

“Making The Revenant was about man’s relation to the natural world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. Climate change is real, it is happening right now, it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”

Instagram Model Reveals TRUTH behind FAKE Social Media Couples

Instagram model reveals the truth behind FAKE social media couples.

With YouTubers and social media stars making millions of dollars a year, it is pretty easy to understand why people would fake relationships in order to gain more followers. That’s why it is not really surprising to hear that many of these social media couples are actually fake. In fact, former Instagram star, Essena O’Neill alleges that some social media couples are fake. The 19-year-old former Instagram model spoke openly about her own experience on social media.

Essena O'Neill

She says she was approached by a supermodel who wanted an “online” relationship as it would increase their followers, get them free trips and make millions of dollars off of the fake relationship.

From Daily Mail:

‘He referred to other couples that had been doing it he said we’d have all this free travel and that if we became a couple we’d both bump up our followers and we could make YouTube videos and get heaps of money,’ Ms O’Neill said.

‘He said in the industry it’s not unheard of to do this that it’s actually really smart and that I should think about it seriously as a business proposal – so here I am, 18, in Thailand and this A-class supermodel wants to propose a business deal and that is an online relationship.’

Ms O’Neill said it’s ‘sad’ and that a lot of people realise their followers are a business so ‘collaborate with someone else and a relationship and get more followers.’

 

The unidentified man proposed the idea as a “business relationship”.

This had such an impact on her that Essena O’Neill recently quit social media calling it “dishonest”

There are several popular online couples such as YouTubers Zoella and Alfie and Jenna Marbles and Julien.

REPORT: Hollywood is Terrified Because Major A-Lister is HIV Positive

Hollywood is afraid because a popular womanizing A-list actor is HIV positive.

According to a report by The Sun newspaper of London, an A-list actor is causing Hollywood to erupt in fear. Apparently, according to The Sun, an A-list actor, who has had several sexual partners, has been diagnosed positive for HIV.

“It has now become common knowledge that this star is HIV positive, something he has known for years,” an insider told The Sun newspaper of London, which attributed his report to several unnamed sources.

“His lawyers are bracing for the threat of potential action.”

The source continued: “The reality is that if he’s knowingly put women at risk, then that’s disgusting and it’s only a matter of time before that becomes public.”

Apparently, friends are pushing for the actor to come forward, but he has so far decided to remain in hiding according to The Sun. “He’s distraught about the possibility of the illness becoming a defining quality of his career,” a source told the site.

Here is what coded message they use to describe the actor’s exes, “an award-winning actress, a religious movie star, a top Hollywood personality with a controversial past, a TV star, a media personality and a glamour model,” the site reported.

‘Empire’ Ratings Continue to Fall, ‘Episode 7’ Ratings Hits Season Low

0

Ratings for Fox’s Empire hits a season low point as fewer people care about the Lyon dynasty.

Empire has gone a long way from being the most watched new TV series. Now, Fox is struggling to find an audience as the TV series hits a season low point. According to Variety, the Fox drama Empire, may have won the battle for Wednesday night ratings, but the Cookie drama is starting to lose the war for viewers.

“Empire” averaged a 4.2 rating/13 share in adults 18-49 and 11.1 million viewers overall, down 9% (0.4) from last week in the demo to its lowest rating since the second episode of its rookie season. It still ruled its timeslot, drawing about as many young adults as the combined tallies of the timeslot’s No. 2 (ABC) and No. 3 (NBC) rated networks. Leadoff hitter “Rosewood” (1.4/5 in 18-49, 5.2 million viewers overall) was down just a tenth and matched its low.

Ouch.

Things don’t seem to look like they are going to get better for the TV series. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 Episode 6, “A High Hope for a Low Heaven” is the worst rated TV show ever on the review website. Currently, the episode is reviewed to a D rating of 69%. The critic consesus calls the show “”A High Hope for a Low Heaven” contains many jaw-dropping plot twists, but fails to bring its kidnapping cliffhanger to a satisfying resolution. Season 2 episode 7, is already getting bad reviews with Rolling Stone saying, “To properly enjoy the episode, you have to look for subtler pleasures – well, alright, “subtler” isn’t the right word for anything on this show, but you get the point.”

But, Rolling Stone is not alone. Just check out a few reviews from Twitter:

Hopefully, things will change for the once ground breaking TV series. Especially, if there are plans for an Empire spinoff, Star.

Aspiring Screenwriter Pays for a Full-Page Ad to Pitch ‘Die Hard’ Sequel

0

Aspiring screenwriter pitches ‘Die Hard’ sequel movie in a full page ad.

There is reportedly going to be a sixth Die Hard movie coming soon, which will “feature flashbacks to McClane’s days as a rough and tumble New York City cop in 1979.”

The storyline behind the upcoming Die Hard sequel has not been revealed. But, this has not stopped one aspiring screenwriter from pitching his Die Hard sequel idea.

Writer Eric D. Wilkinson wrote in a full-page ad he took out in the Hollywood Reporter pitching his own version of a Die Hard movie.

Die Hard: Year One will start out with McClane going to prison. Before audiences find out what he did, the film will flash back to the 1970s, when he accidentally lets a suspect get away. We fast-forward back to present, and while McClane is still in Russia after the pointless events of A Good Day to Die Hard, “the body of that suspect is discovered along with DNA evidence pointing to… John McClane.”

After returning to the United States, McClane is arrested and convicted of murder, at which point he is sent to a super prison of major criminals.

McClane’s wife then finds evidence that proves he didn’t do it, but when she goes to the prison to show it to him, a riot breaks out and the prison goes into lockdown. Eventually, the rioters take over the prison and capture several hostages, at which point it’s revealed the riot was part of a plan to break the terrorists out of the prison and blow up New York City. “However, the one thing [the] terrorists didn’t count on was the one man who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time…and when it comes to John McClane, old habits die hard.”

Looking for a New Job? Homeless Man Makes $200/Hour Begging for Money

0

Are you tired of your day job? Are you looking to make more money?

Well, according to a report by NYPost, a “homeless” man in New York City makes $200 an hour.

The former theater crew member apparently makes $400 in two hours by sitting on the street corner with his 9-year-old dog.

From the NYPost:

A panhandler outside Grand Central Terminal says he rakes in up to $200 an hour from kind-hearted New Yorkers.

And the 43-year-old former theater stagehand is only one of a legion of beggars in the city hauling in big bucks and a smorgasbord of food doing nothing but sitting on the sidewalk with hands out.

“On a Friday morning, I make $400 in two hours,’’ said Will Andersen, who was with his 9-year-old dog, Rizzo, on East 42nd Street between Vanderbilt and Madison avenues on Tuesday.

Apparently, this is all legal. The NYPost talked to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and he responded by saying to stop giving people money. “I have gotten $80 or $100 from a single person. And they will say, ‘Just do something good tonight.’ They mean go to a hotel or a hostel,’’ he said. “I get people who give me five bucks each day. Five bucks each day, that’s five days a week, two people — that’s $50 a week right there. I get dog food. I put away for rent. I pay $300 a month, that’s nothing.”

Johnny Depp was Nearly Fired from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ for Acting “Drunk” or “Gay”

0

Johnny Depp was nearly fired from Pirates of the Caribbean for appearing “drunk” or “gay” while acting out scenes as Captain Jack.

After four feature films and an upcoming fifth production in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there is no denying that Johnny Depp is the driving creative force behind the hit Disney series and without him Pirates of the Caribbean would have probably flopped in the box office.

But in a recent interview, it was revealed Disney was not that sure that Johnny Depp was the right actor the job.

During the AFI Fest 2015, Johnny Depp recalled that Disney executives were initially confused by Depp’s portrayal of Sparrow, which was partially based off the 18th century pirates and modern day rock stars and questioned if Johnny Depp should be allowed to remain as the star in the movie, or be fired.

Johnny Depp recalled the story:

“They wanted to fire me. I remember it trickled back to me that [former Diseny CEO] Michael Eisner went on some sort of vent about how, “Goddamnit, Johnny Depp’s ruining the film. What is it? What is that thing? Is it drunk? Is it gay?” So I fully expected to be fired.”

But it was how Johnny Depp responded that really shows why Johnny Depp is an A-list actor. Depp responded by saying, “Well, didn’t you know that all my characters are gay?”

It was after that comment that Johnny Depp admitted he “was really expecting to be fired,” but surprisingly he wasn’t.

After the actor told Disney to trust his acting decision and method for the character of Jack Sparrow, Disney did the right thing and left Johnny Depp to do his own thing and act however he saw fit and it worked.

Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow not only landed him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004, but he has also earned $3.7 billion for Disney.

Production for the fifth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Johnny Depp will reprise his iconic role, as will Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom.

According to reports, the movie is currently in early stages of editing and post production.

Have you ever wondered how much a model makes? Well, we will break down the average salary for models in the entertainment industry and we promise you, you will be will be surprised.

What does a Model do?

To make a living and get paid as a model, models must work unpredictable work schedules and be ready in a moments notice to pose for a photographer or fashion line. They suffer long periods of unemployment, must attend unpaid auditions and strenuous casting sessions. In addition, models are required to travel to different locations for work.

What kind of salary does a typical model earn?

Models earn an average of $13.38 per hour, or about $27,830 per year according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Average salaries ranged from $43,840 per year on the high end but dropped to a little more than minimum wage at $15,960 per year.

What kind of training do you need?

Qualifications to earn a living as a model are minimal and it all comes down to your genetics. If you are the right height, weight, clothing size and physical appearance than you have the chance to becoming a model. No formal education is required and most models learn their skills on the job. Some training is available at modeling schools were students can learn how to pose, walk like a model, and apply make up for modeling jobs. However, models do require a portfolio of high-quality photos.

Where can you get a job as a model?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statstics, the biggest employers of models wer ecolleges, universities, and professional schools, which offered $15.06 per year. Then high schools which paid $39,610 or $19.04 for a photo shoot. Then came Home shopping networks and mail order productions which paid $28.33  per hour.

Where should you move to get a job as a model?

California currently has the highest number of jobs for models, according to Chron.com. The average pay for a model in California is about $25 per hour or $52,000 per year. Followed by Ohio and then New York City.

Should you become a model?

The number of jobs are expected to increase in the next 5 years, according to the BLS. However, due to the low number of models, this growth only actually equates to only 200 new jobs. Most of the opportunities will be in print and digital media advertising.

Competition is tough, with more models competing for fewer job openings. In addition, careers for models are short because employers are always looking for younger models.

Have you ever wanted to audition for a modeling contract with Victoria’s Secret?

Well here is an inside look at the casting process behind one of the biggest fashion lines in the world.

Sure, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of the biggest events in the world featuring live musical acts, runway extravaganzas, and Angel Wings. But, we highly doubt you know the casting process behind Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The lingerie label posted a video on its YouTube page, walking viewers through its long casting process. With over 500 model applicants, the casting directors meet with hundreds of models who are hoping to land one of the 45 spots.

“I saw close to 300 in the first two days of casting, which I do on my own with my team,” says John Pfeiffer, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show casting director. “And in the two days of call-backs, I try to keep it to a maximum of 100 girls.”

But during those auditions, the casting process is a serious endeavour and a lot more nerve-wracking than you would automatically assume. Models from all over the world fight for a spot at one of the biggest fashion events in the world.

“You’re meant to be objective about it, but you know how hard all the girls have worked for it,” says Ed Razek, the show’s executive producer. “A few of them showed their emotions, but they all feel that way. Everyone of them feels that way.”

“There’s several who are either fighting back tears or literally crying in here today because there’s such a buildup, and they’ve been working for it and wanting it so badly,” adds Monica Mitro, executive producer.

Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid made their Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, joining veteran Angels Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrósio, Adrianna Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel.

McDonalds To Start Selling $1 Mozzarella Sticks Nationwide

0

McDonalds will now offer $1 mozzarella Sticks nationwide.

In news that will probably upset the Center of Disease Control and the World Health Organization, McDonalds will now sell you mozzarella sticks for 1 dollar.

Following a mozzarella stick test at McDonald’s restaurants in New York, McDonald’s will expand nationwide in 2016, according to reports.

Mozzarella sticks will be sold at stores across the country for only $1 for a pack of three.

The launch of mozzarella sticks, which are fried before arriving at McDonalds and then baked at McDonald’s ovens, is an example of how the Golden Arches are thinking outside of the box to reach customers. But, this is not something new as cheese bites are available at McDonald’s U.K. menu.

“While we know the vast majority of our growth will come from national initiatives, regional empowerment has given our local markets the power to plus up the national plan, drive incremental sales and profit, and provide a pipeline of new ideas for the system,” said Mike Andres, the president of McDonald’s USA, during Tuesday’s investor meeting.

Earnings for McDonald’s have not been that good for the fast food restaurant in recent years. It was reported last month that the franchise finally started growing U.S. sales for the first time in two years. “While still in the early stages, we believe our turnaround plan is starting to generate the change needed to reposition McDonald’s as a modern, progressive burger company,” CEO Steve Easterbrook said at the time.

But, McDonald’s is also heading into the movie business to help boost sales. The upcoming feature film, The Founderstarring Michael Keaton just finished filming in Atlanta, Georgia last summer.

What do you think? Are you going to be eating the new mozzarella sticks from McDonald’s?

 

‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Leaks Season 6 Script Online

0

HBO’s Game of Thrones actor, Elie Haddad, just leaked a make script spoiler online.

French actor Elie Haddad is reportedly on set for a major role in Season 6 of Game of THrones. He was having a good old time posting photos on Instagram from Belfast, until he posted a picture that may put him on the hot seat.

While obviously trying to show off his taste in coffee, Haddad must have forggoten that his script was in the background. The text is hard to make out, but here are some of the lines the fan website Watchers on the Wall have decrypted.

“I like her.”

“She’s paler than milk.”

“I bet she gets nice and pink when you pinch her.”

“I’d like to know what a Khaleesi tastes like.”

“Good. You can suck my dick.”

Watchers on the Wall also says the world Khal can be seen a few times.

From the script, it appears Daenerys Tagaryen (Emilia Clarke) was in fact, taken captive by the Dothraki who surrounded her at the end of Season 5.

Mashable also reports someone also spotted the word Missandei as well, which means Daenerys’ advisors on GOT may have found her.

At this point, the HBO show has basically finished all of George R.R. Martin’s novels, so any  information about Season 6 will come to a suprise even to those avid readers of the Game of Thrones series.

What will this all mean?

Emilia Clarke has pointed out that Season 6 is the most shocking ever (even though everyone says that), and if Missandei is some how planning on heading to Dothraki Sea to save Khalessi, expect the drama.
