Shia LaBeoufaccused of “brownface” in his upcoming feature film
Shia LaBeouf is facing a casting backlash over the weekend after the trailer for the upcoming feature film ‘The Tax Collector’ hit the Internet. Shia plays the role of Creeper, a crime boss who has to collect taxes from other criminal organizations in the Los Angeles area. Many quickly noticed Shia is possibly performing in “Brownface” by being a white guy play a Hispanic character.
“@DavidAyerMovies Hey, really important question that I think you should answer publicly in 2020. Is Shia Lebouf playing a Latino character in Tax Collector? If so, why didn’t you cast a Latin actor?” A user on Twitter asked.
“Really important answer – Shia is playing a whiteboy who grew up in the hood. This is a Jewish dude playing a white character. Also the only white dude in the movie,” Ayer said in response. He elaborated further as a “whiteboy” who “grew up hood.”
“Chicano culture is inclusive – I’ve seen whiteys, Asians, Blacks, Filipinos all putting in work for the hood. It’s part of street culture,” he continued before adding that he’s portraying “LA Hood shit” with his latest film. He later clarified that it’s not necessarily Chicano culture rather than LA street culture. “Yeah as I typed it I was like dang. Yep it’s LA street culture. Everyone shows up. Everyone puts in work.”
Berry said: “[It’s] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she’s a woman that transitioned into a man. She’s a character in a project I love that I might be doing … Who this woman was is so interesting to me, and that will probably be my next project.”
After a public backlash, she announced she will not be playing the character in the film.
“As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories,” she wrote on Twitter.
Halle Berry drops trans role after backlash from the public
Halle Berry announced via Twitter on Monday saying she is no longer playing a transgender man in an upcoming movie role. Berry opened up about the movie role in an interview via Instagram Live.
Berry said: “[It’s] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she’s a woman that transitioned into a man. She’s a character in a project I love that I might be doing … Who this woman was is so interesting to me, and that will probably be my next project.”
After a public backlash, she announced she will not be playing the character in the film.
“As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories,” she wrote on Twitter.
“I am grateful for the guidance and critical conversation over the past few days and I will continue to listen, educate, and learn from this mistake.”
Very said she promised to be an “ally” and use her “voice to promote better representation on-screen, both in front of and behind the camera.”
Berry’s decision to exit the movie was welcomed by leading LGBTQ activist group Glaad, which tweeted: “We are pleased that @halleberry listened to the concerns of transgender people and learned from them. Other powerful people should do the same.”
This is not the first time for an A-list actor to drop out of a Transgender role. Scarlett Johansson exited from the movie ‘Rub & Tug’ in 2018. The movie was to center around massage parlor operator Dante “Tex” Gill, after similar backlash and protests from trans activists.
Here’s the list of the hardest working actors in Hollywood.
Currently, there isn’t a precise way to determine who is the hardest working actor in Hollywood. One of the ways to determine who is earning their stars in stripes in Hollywood is looking at an actor’s resume and examining their projects.
Recently, Resume.io reviewed the filmographies of nearly 150 actors to find out who have the most credits and awards over the last decade.
Based on the numbers, James Franco has had the most producing and directing credits, while Eric Roberts, brother of Julia Roberts, has accumulated the most acting credits with a whopping 391 credits for the last 10 years.
“I start making a bunch of B movies,” Roberts told Vanity Fair, “—bam bam bam bam bam bam—one after the other… I made like 30 films in two, three years. Now, in the past two years, I’ve made around 70 movies… And so suddenly it’s like 250 movies, and I realize, I went from being a joke that’ll do anything to being ‘Is there anything he can’t do?’”
Meanwhile, Tiffany Haddish has appeared as herself the most out of any other star, while Will Smith has the most soundtrack credits to his name.
“For me, being fake is too exhausting,” Haddish told The Guardian. “I think the way I grew up, in different homes, different schools, taught me I’m most comfortable being myself wherever I am… Being yourself is easiest. I may be cheating but you know what? It feels good!”
Leonardo DiCaprio received the most award nominations and Cate Blanchett is the most awarded actress in Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio won 99 out of his 245 nominations over the last decade. “You do them because if you love the art form, you can look back one day and say, ‘I did that piece of work, and I gave it everything I could while I was there.’ And if you have enough of those later on in life, you’re a happy artist,” DiCaprio said to Today.
To create this list, they chose 146 in-demand actors and actresses using IMDb lists, Oscar winners lists, and the highest-paid actors list from Forbes.
Kanye West reportedly received $2 million from the United States Federal Paycheck Protection Program.
The Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program disclosed Yeezy LLC reportedly saved 160 jobs thanks to the lion, which received between $2 million to $5 million.

I am running for president of the United States! Finishing off his message with an American flag emoji and the hashtag #2020VISION.
In addition, Kanye West’s YEEZY Partnership with Gap stock caused a 42% jump. The American fashion company saw a stock jump as a direct result of Kanye’s YEEZY announcement.

Colin Kaepernick signs a first-look overall deal with Disney through his Ra Vision Media company.
According to reports, the partnership will focus on content that discusses race, social justice, and equality. It will become a platform for Black and Brown directors and producers to create.
Disney explains the deal will include all platforms including Walt Disney Television, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar, and ESPN’s The Undefeated. At this time, the first project in development is a docuseries produced by ESPN Films centering around Kaepernick’s life. Using interviews, unseen footage, and stories that detail his experiences over the last five years from Kaepernicks’ point of view. Libby Geist, Kevin Merida, and Connor Schell will executive produce for ESPN. In addition, Jemele Hill will also produce the project.
“I am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives,” said Kaepernick. “I look forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story, in addition to many other culturally impactful projects we are developing.”
“During this unprecedented time, The Walt Disney Company remains committed to creating diverse and inclusive content that resonates and matters,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s executive chairman. “Colin’s experience gives him a unique perspective on the intersection of sports, culture and race, which will undoubtedly create compelling stories that will educate, enlighten and entertain, and we look forward to working with him on this important collaboration.”
Jimmy Pitaro, president, ESPN, said: “Developing exceptional storytelling told through a wide array of voices is at the core of who we are at ESPN. Colin has had a singular path as both an athlete and an activist, and, as the nation continues to confront racism and social injustice, it feels particularly relevant to hear Colin’s voice on his evolution and motivations.”
Kevin Merida, SVP and editor-in-chief of The Undefeated, stated: “The Undefeated exists at the juncture of race, sports and culture, which is exactly where Colin has often found himself as he has navigated his career and activism. We’re looking forward to working with Colin to elevate important stories of lives too often unseen and to deliver them to a vast audience across The Walt Disney Company. We want to continue to call attention to the issues of racial injustice that America is wrestling with, and do that in new, compelling ways.”
According to Netflix, the official synopsis is as follows: “The six-episode series, which was conceived in 2019 and recently completed writing in May, provides an introspective look at Kaepernick’s early life as a Black child growing up with a white adopted family and his journey to becoming a great quarterback while defining his identity. The limited series reunites Starrbury and DuVernay who last worked together on Netflix’s acclaimed When They See Us, which received 16 Emmy Award Nominations, including a nomination for Outstanding Writing for the duo and was recently honored with a Peabody Award.”
According to CBS News, COVID-19 cases spike 41% in three weeks. In addition, the number of COVID-19 patients in the ICU is up 35% in the last two weeks, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The county’s Department of Public Health issued a statement on Saturday stating that if the numbers continue to rise, the amount of ICU beds in the county would likely become scarce in the near future.
Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci, testified before Congress sounding the alarm around the growing number of Coronavirus COVID-19 infections. Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked Fauci, who is the leading infectious disease expert, asked what will happen if the cases int he United States continue to spike.
“We are now having 40-plus thousand new cases a day,” Fauci said. “I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. And so I am very concerned.”
The implications suggest hospitals going over-capacity, states implementing strict quarantines, and shutting down the economy again for an indefinite period of time. The potential future of the entertainment industry, which has left hundreds of thousands of people unemployed, is in jeopardy as the filming has shutdown across the country.
Many shows started resuming productions under the assumption COVID-19 cases were dropping across the country and it would provide a safe environment for productions to resume filming. However, COVID-19 cases dramatically increased. Over the weekend, over 10,000 people were infected with the Coronavirus in Florida. Meanwhile, Georgia’s film industry is preparing to resume filming in the next few months. In Los Angeles, there are over 100,000 total cases.
One film executive told Variety, that production is something “the town is going to have to power through unless an outbreak shuts them down.” The executive pointed to “existential-level anxiety” about “committing to making content for our livelihoods in spite of it.”
One executive spoke with Variety saying, “Obviously, from the studio’s perspective, from a bunch of people who are looking at their quarterly numbers and not going to be on set, there’s a tremendous desire of ‘We’ve got to go go go go go,’” said this exec. “Your natural bent as a producer is, like, ‘Great, let’s go!’ We want to get stuff going. But, you know, I think the producers and certainly the filmmakers and the actors are all like, ‘OK, it’s all well and good to have these hypothetical ideas, but safety is paramount.’”
There is also a concern of politics in certain states. “People are really suspicious of the political leadership in those states,” a production executive told Variety. “Frankly, what’s the compliance going to be now that this whole wearing masks thing has become politicized? So I think there’s a real reluctance to want to A, get on a plane, and B, expose yourself to something that feels much higher risk.”
Then, there is a problem with filming on sets for prolonged periods of time. Showrunner Michelle King from ‘The Good Fight’ explained in the Variety roundtable, “We’re having to write toward filming on our sets, but then every health provider can agree on only a few things, and that’s that you don’t want to be indoors with a lot of people for long periods of time — which is filming on a stage. It really is a conundrum…there’s nothing to talk about if you can’t be on a stage. That is crucial.”
As the Coronavirus continues to spike, productions are leaving the United States and filming in Europe, where COVID-19 infections are lower. As we previously reported, the UK government announced big budget movies can skip quarantines and start filming ASAP.
Meanwhile, Christopher Miller, co-founder of the production company Lord Miller with Phil Lord, tweeted on June 25, “There are a bunch of movies and shows that are hoping to start production soon (including some of ours) but they won’t be able to go if the COVID numbers keep rising. So if you want fresh new content please wear a damn mask and help stop the spread!”

Brie Larson is a talented actress. She has won an Oscar and played one of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most popular superheroes like Captain Marvel’ and now the actress will start a YouTube channel.
Larson launched her YouTube channel with her first video where she is figuring out how to record, sharing photos, and asking for some tips from her favorite YouTube stars. At one point, she spills some secrets including she auditioned for hit movies and lost. Those movies include ‘Star Wars,’ ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Terminator: Genisys’.
“I actually was thinking about the Terminator reboot today because I got a flat tire and I was like, ‘Oh the last time I got a flat tire was when I was driving into my audition for Terminator,” she said in her first YouTube video.
She didn’t land those roles, but she seems to be doing pretty well in Hollywood.
Larson says her channel will be a platform to express her self. While there will be moments of jokes, she said her channel will include “deep conversations, anti-racist rhetoric, inclusive content”
Brie Larson is known for her supporting roles when a teenager, she has since expanded her acting career leading in indie dramas and hit franchises. She won awards including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. In 2019, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In 2019, she gave amazing advice for aspiring actors. In an interview with “In Style”, Larson looks back on her acting career, including how she felt after winning an Academy Award, and how her Captain Marvel character has changed her life.
Larson started acting at an early age and points to acting as one of the main ways she learned how to play with others. She reveals, “It was a way of learning how to be a person. This is how you make eye contact. This is how you talk. This is how you hold a conversation. This is how you connect with your feelings. This is how you express yourself. I’d be in a completely different place if I hadn’t found acting so early on, because I think I really would have found comfort in my extreme shyness.”

Kanye West has several challenges if he would like to seriously compete in the 2020 presidential race, according to reports.
The rapper and fashion designer will have to quickly move if he is serious about running for president. There are four months before the November 3 election. Kanye will still need to register with the Federal Election Commission, create a presidential campaign, and collect signatures so he can get on the ballot next to Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
So far, Kanye has missed the deadlines in multiple states to file as an independent. These states include North Carolina (March 3), Texas (May 11), New York (May 26), Maine (June 1), New Mexico (June 25), and Indiana (June 30). That said, it’s not too late for him to appear on the ballot in other states including Florida, South Carolina, Michigan, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc. The deadline to register is quickly approaching.
Getting on ballots as an independent candidate still requires hiring staff or recruiting volunteers to gather thousands of signatures across the country before the registration periods close.
Many believe that Kanye is running to hurt Joe Biden’s campaign, which could shift Black voters away from Joe Biden, and support Donald Trump’s campaign. Kanye could do this through write-in votes.
Analyst forecaster Rachel Bitecofer explained to USA Today that “celebrity is a major asset” and with Kanye’s fame and finances, he could create a big campaign to definitely siphon votes from one candidate to help another. In addition, Elon Musk, the Tesla Billionaire, also voiced his support for Kanye’s campaign.
“Then you don’t need ballot access. He’s got his own fortune, his wife’s fortunate and obviously support from Musk,” Bitecofe said. “Let’s say he was serious and he put time, effort and money into this effort then it could potentially siphon off votes from Biden. It really would be dependent on that amount of effort. If it’s just a joke then obviously it’s not going to have that much of an effect.”
She added, “If I was on the Biden campaign today and this came across last night, I would definitely see it as a serious threat and one that I would want to avoid.”
Kanye West Political Beliefs
It is important to note, Kanye publicly stated African-American slavery was “a choice,” is anti-abortion, works with anti-LGBTQ+ pastors, has made excuses for abusers, and is a proud supporter of Trump.
Kanye West Campaign Rally in South Carolina
Since announcing his presidential campaign in June, he’s submitted the required documents and launched a rally in South Carolina. Kanye West spoke to attendees at Exquisites Event Center in North Charleston, South Carolina. West spoke wearing a security vest and wearing a “2020” haircut for the first rally of his campaign.
It did not take long to spark controversy. At one point during the speech, he looked to clarify the work of Harriet Tubman saying, “Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.” Later, West had an emotional moment speaking about his family with Kim Kardashian and addressed his past comments on Planned Parenthood.
He broke down into tears revealing about his father’s desire to abort him, and his wife having their first child “even when I didn’t want to.”
“I almost killed my daughter. I love my daughter. … God wants us to create,” said West, who has several children with Kim Kardashian West.
“No more Plan B — Plan A,” he said, to the crowd response from the audience.
West quickly clarified that he thinks abortion should be legal, but that there should be more support for those who need it.
“The maximum increase would be everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars or something in that range,” said West.
Last week, Kanye West paid the $35,000 registration fee to get on the ballot in Oklahoma. He will need several more states to reach the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency. Currently, only 306 electoral votes are up for grabs in states where the filing deadlines have yet to pass.
Kanye West says he will manage the White House based on the fictional country of Wakanda from Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ if he’s elected President of the United States
As we previously reported, the rapper claimed he plans on running for president in the upcoming 2020 election.
In an interview with Forbes, West says he wants to copy the organization featured in the science fiction Marvel movie.
Released in 2018, ‘Black Panther’ centered around the futuristic African country Wakanda.
West suggested he wanted to emulate the movie’s technological infrastructure as the country’s leader works with the nation’s top scientists.
“Let’s get back to Wakanda,” he continued. “like in the movie in Wakanda when the king went to visit that lead scientist to have the shoes wrap around her shoes. Just the amount of innovation that can happen, the amount of innovation in medicine – like big pharma – we are going to work, innovate, together.”
“A lot of Africans do not like the movie [Black Panther] and representation of themselves in…Wakanda,” he said. “But I’m gonna use the framework of Wakanda right now because it’s the best explanation of what our design group is going to feel like in the White House.
“That is a positive idea: you got Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans—I’m not saying the most because you got a lot of alien level superpowers and it’s only collectively that we can set it free.”
West also discussed contracting the Coronavirus COVID-19 and how he no longer supports Donald Trump.
In regards to why he no longer supported Trump, he said, “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview.”
When asked why he considered supporting Donald Trump in the beginning he said it was “as a protest to the segregation of votes in the Black community. Also, other than the fact that I like Trump hotels and the saxophones in the lobby.”
That said, West appears to be upset by how Trump dealt with the Coronavirus pandemic. He added that “I don’t like that I caught wind that he hid in the bunker.” West went on to suggest he got the coronavirus in February, but is unsure of vaccines, calling them “the mark of the beast.”
“They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven,” he theorized, adding that this notion was “the saddest thing.”
West pushed back on the idea that his presidential campaign is a publicity stunt saying, “I give my album away for free.”
West said he’s running under the banner of the Birthday Party, “because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday” and his campaign slogan will be “YES!”. Kanye’s running mate will be an unknown preacher named Michelle Tidball and Kanye says he’s getting advice from Elon Musk.
“Like anything I’ve ever done in my life… I’m doing to win,” he said, according to Forbes. West said he doesn’t care if he takes away Black votes from Joe Biden and helps Trump, saying: “I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy.”
Kanye added, “I’m not saying Trump’s in my way, he may be a part of my way. And Joe Biden? Like come on man, please. You know? Obama’s special. Trump’s special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden’s not special.”
When asked about his policies or plans as the President he explained, “I don’t know if I would use the word ‘policy’ for the way I would approach things. I don’t have a policy when I went to Nike and designed Yeezy and went to Louis and designed a Louis Vuitton at the same time.”
Kanye West officially announces 2020 run for President.
Kanye is running for President of the United States. Taking to Twitter, Kanye celebrated the holiday weekend by officially announcing his bid to become the President of the United States. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for president of the United States! Finishing off his message with an American flag emoji and the hashtag #2020VISION.
The news went viral with Elon Musk endorsing Kanye’s run saying he has his “full support.” That said, there are many saying it is too late to get on the ballot as an independent candidate in many states, and this time, it is unclear if Kanye’s run for president is a publicity stunt or if he can even accomplish landing on the ballot.

Several movies will resume production in the UK after the government gives permission to big-budget productions.
The United Kingdom Government announced they will be allowing a “small numbers of essential cast and crew” to travel to the United Kingdom without having a quarantine for 14 days. That cast and crew will need to live and work in “bubbles”.
According to reports, the decision is set to ease restrictions on big-budget films, TV shows, and major sporting events. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said: “The world’s biggest blockbusters and high-end TV shows are made in Britain.
“Our creativity, expertise, and highly successful tax reliefs for our screen industries means that we are an in-demand location that in turn delivers a great return for our economy.
“We want the industry to bounce back and exempting small numbers of essential cast and crew from quarantine is part of our continued commitment to getting cameras rolling safely again.”
The U.K. government says Dowden contacted Tom Cruise last week about how filming can continue at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
‘Mission Impossible’ is one of a few major British-qualifying U.S. productions waiting to resume filming in the U.K. In addition, Universal will resume filming ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ this week.
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of the British Film Commission, told Deadline, “Today’s immensely welcome news is also a clear recognition of the importance of the film and high-end TV inward investment sector to the UK’s economy.
“The sector was worth over £3 billion in 2019 and has a clear role to play in our economic recovery following the lockdown. While the British Film Commission COVID-19 production guidance published last month is already helping to restart production safely, this considered exemption will allow international cast and crew back in the country, and back on set, to continue work on the blockbuster films and high-end TV productions at our biggest studio facilities.”
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, California, 12 movies are set to film in California this summer and hire over 15,000 actors.

Among those selected include Universal Pictures’ sequel ‘Half Baked 2’, Sylvester Stallone and Michael Bay’s ‘Little America, Fox’s ‘Lady of the House’, and Amazon’s Untitled Project starring Cate Blanchett and written by Aaron Sorkin. Other projects include a transgender teen drama ‘Moonshadow’ and Asian family drama series ‘Ashes to Oceans’.
