Kanye ‘Fired Security Guard for Talking to Kim Kardashian’

Kanye West allegedly fired a security guard just before the Met Gala because he tried to talk to his wife Kim Kardashian.

Kanye West doesn’t really enjoy people talking to his wife Kim Kardashian. According to reports, Kanye West allegedly fired a security guard after he caught him trying to talk to his wife in the the hours before Monday night’s Met Gala in NYC.

The 39-year-old rapper became extremely upset after he saw Kim Kardashian’s security talking to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star outside her hotel room at the Waldorf Astoria. A eyewitness told the New York Daily News’ Confidenti@l column: ‘Something happened at the Waldorf Astoria where Kanye just lost it.’

The bodyguard reportedly protected Leonardo DiCaprio and Alanis Morissette in the past. He told reporters: ‘I’m a happily married man with three children and I have no comment.

Slender Man Movie is Coming Soon

Screen Gems is developing a Slender Man movie.

The Internet has a way of connecting the world in a unique and often times strange ways. Information now spreads at the speed of retweets and underneath the niceties of the inter-webs are a dark world of “Creepypasta’s” – modern day urban legends spreading through the Internet instead of word of mouth.

Even for those who have not read a single Wiki-legend, Slender Man is one of the most popular. Since the urban legend’s start, Slender Man has gained a huge larger than life persona. And now Hollywood is looking to take advantage of the Creepypasta and turn it into a movie, according to ComicBook.com

The disturbing story of an abnormally tall, featureless creature was created by Erik Knudsen on the Something Awful forum back in 2009. As part of a competition to make everyday photographs look supernatural, Knudsen also added text to his submission, providing a backstory to the Slender Man.

Talking to slenderman235, Knudsen spoke of his surprise at the spread of the story. He said:

“I didn’t expect it to move beyond the SA forums. And when it did, I found it interesting to watch as sort of an accelerated version of an urban legend. It differs from the prior concept of the urban legend in that it is on the Internet, and this both helps and harms the status of the Slender Man as one.”

Knudsen said he’s afraid of Hollywood trying to creating a movie based around Slender Man saying that he would “hate for something to come out and just be kinda conventional.”

It’s important to point out that a 12-year-old girl was stabbed 19 times by 12-year-old Morgan Geyser and 12-year-old Anissa Weier June 5, 2014, in Waukesh, Wisconsin for “Slenderman”. When analyzed by a psychiatrist after the attempted murder the physician had this to say about the young girls’ obsession with Slender Man:

Slender Man

As for Slender Man, she idolizes and fears him, and worries that if she angers him, he will hurt her family.

Production on the Slender Man movie is expected to begin in fall 2016, with a release in the fall of 2017.

Writer of ‘Dragonball Evolution’ Apologizes for His ‘Garbage’ Movie

The writer of Dragonball Evolution apologizes for his “flat out garbage”

The writer of a critically panned 2009 live-action adaptation Dragonball Evolution has offered an apology to Dragonball fans for “dropping the Dragon Ball.” Ben Ramsey, whose writing earned him a 14 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, gave the heartfelt apology when approached for a comment by a Dragonball fan, Derek Padula for his upcoming book, USA DBZ. The apology was then published in full on Padula’s website:

I knew that it would eventually come down to this one day. Dragonball Evolution marked a very painful creative point in my life. To have something with my name on it as the writer be so globally reviled is gut wrenching. To receive hate mail from all over the world is heartbreaking. I spent so many years trying to deflect the blame, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the written word on page and I take full responsibility for what was such a disappointment to so many fans. I did the best I could, but at the end of the day, I ‘dropped the dragon ball.’

I went into the project chasing after a big payday, not as a fan of the franchise but as a businessman taking on an assignment. I have learned that when you go into a creative endeavor without passion you come out with sub-optimal results, and sometimes flat out garbage. So I’m not blaming anyone for Dragonball but myself. As a fanboy of other series, I know what it’s like to have something you love and anticipate be so disappointing.

To all the Dragon Ball fans out there, I sincerely apologize.

I hope I can make it up to you by creating something really cool and entertaining that you will like and that is also something I am passionate about. That’s the only work I do now.

Best,

Ben

While all of the blame cannot fall on Ramsey’s shoulders, given the corporate nature of making a movie in Hollywood, this rare and honest apology may help fans finally let go of the terrible that was Dragonball Evolution.

George Takei is PISSED with Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange’

George Takei is furious with Marvel’s Doctor Strange.

After Tilda Swinton responded to complaints about her casting as Doctor Strange’s the Ancient One, notable actor and equal rights activist George Takei has stepped up to give his perspective on the casting decision.

Marvel has come under fire lately for casting a white actress in the role of someone who is traditionally Asian. The Ancient One has many Tibetan traditions in the Doctor Strange comics, so many fans were disappointed to see Tilda Swinton, a white actress, instead of an Asian actor in a Marvel movie.

Co-writer C. Robert Cargill defended the casting decision explaining:

“The Ancient One comes from a region of the world that is in very weird political place. He originates from Tibet, so if you acknowledge that Tibet is a place, and that he is Tibetan, you risk alienating 1 billion people who think that that’s bullshit, and risk the Chinese government going, ‘Hey, you know, one of the biggest film-watching countries in the world? We’re not going to show your movie because you decided to get political…”

But, George Takei is not buying it. Takei’s recent Facebook post about Doctor Strange is a response to Cargill’s comments, as he takes issue with the reasoning behind not including Tibetan characters and changing the Ancient One’s race completely.

Marvel already addressed the Tibetan question by setting the action and The Ancient One in Kathmandu, Nepal in the film. It wouldn’t have mattered to the Chinese government by that point whether the character was white or Asian, as it was already in another country. So this is a red herring, and it’s insulting that they expect us to buy their explanation. They cast Tilda because they believe white audiences want to see white faces. Audiences, too, should be aware of how dumb and out of touch the studios think we are.

Takei’s arguing that just because Marvel wanted to avoid casting Tibetan actors and standing by the Ancient One’s origin as a Tibetan, there’s no reason why the Ancient One could not be played by a Nepalese actor. Or a Nepalese actress. Instead, Takei is suggesting that Swinton’s casting had more to do with Hollywood whitewashing than it did with the delicate political situation in China.

Since Takei’s comments on Facebook were posted, many people have taken to Twitter to call out Hollywood’s lack of diversity. Comedian Margaret Cho, writer Ellen Oh, and the organization Nerds of Color, came together to start a campaign about the lack of Asian American communities being represented in mainstream media and society at large using the hashtag #WhiteWashedOut.

Unfortunately for Marvel, it looks like their casting decision is going to end up biting them in the butt. Hopefully, they are able to fix the situation before the movie’s release date.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reveals How SNL’s ‘Sexism’ Changed Her Life

Megan Diane

Few actresses have had a TV career as amazing and graceful to that of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is now starring in her third TV series, VEEP. 

The fifty-five year-old Seinfeld actress has won every major award for TV acting and hows no plans on slowing down. During an interview with the New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus talked about why her early years on Saturday Night Live were not that successful and why she doesn’t view herself as a leader for other female actresses. She recalls that working on SNL wasn’t the best place for female comedians, saying “I did not come out of SNL as any kind of name. I didn’t do anything particularly great when I was there. I didn’t. It’s fine. But I learned a tremendous amount. It was a very sexist environment. Since I’ve gone back, I can tell you it’s much more of an equal-opportunity environment.”

She continues, “I was on it for three years, and when I left, I made this conscious decision that I would not take any jobs that didn’t seem as if they would be really fun. That’s very simplistic and Pollyannaish sounding, but really, I noted that. I’m not doing this unless I can have a deep sense of happiness while doing it. I’ve applied that, moving forward, and it’s worked. So in that sense, I have SNL to thank.”

Louis-Dreyfus is one of the few actresses who plays a lead role in a series and is above the age of thirty. However, she admits that she doesn’t focus on her age or the lack of diversity for women on TV, explaining “I don’t think of it like that. I’m happy to have a job. Really, I’m not kidding. I’m certainly happy to be playing a woman in a powerful position in politics, even though she’s a buffoon. And I don’t say that apologetically, because think of all the buffoons in politics right now. She’s our buffoon.”

In addition, she points out that she doesn’t see herself as a leader. “I don’t think of myself as a pioneer. I’m not sure that I am. Opportunity for women in television has increased. It’s because the landscape has widened. More women got on the playing field. But opportunity for women in film has not increased. I just think it’s that simple. By the way, I’m certain that there’s more much more in television that can be done. And I’m trying to do it. But I’ve certainly seen it change in my lifetime.”

Ultimately, it sounds like Louis-Dreyfus is committed to acting and improving conditions for all women in the film industry one TV show at a time.

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.

El Chapo TV Series Coming Soon, #CARTEL

History channel is making an El Chapo TV series.

El Chapo made international headlines in the recent past for his capture, escape and legendary re-capture as well as a shocking interview with actor Sean Penn and actress Kate del Castillo. Now, the History channel is looking to recreate the story of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

According to reports, the cable network is currently working on #CARTEL, a scripted TV series that will explore the global drug wars as told through the eyes of El Chapo, one of the world’s most powerful drug lords. The show will be written and produced by former Narcos show runner Chris Brancato.

From THR:

The drama, which is in development with a script order, will follow El Chapo’s rise to power and how drug cartels use social media to maintain their image, recruit new members and threaten rivals. El Chapo, who became Mexico’s top drug kingpin and is considered the most powerful drug trafficker in the world, has fan followings with relationships in the entertainment and music industry (like Sean Penn) that go beyond the Mexican border and into the U.S.

History channel describes #Cartel as “a story of power, money, sex and the human cost of the drug wars like none ever seen on television.”

‘The Walking Dead’s T-Dog Has Just Released a Hip Hop Album

The Walking Dead’s IronE Singleton a.k.a T-Dawg, just released a hip hop album.

You may know IronE Singleton from his recurring role on The Walking Dead and The Blind Side but did you know he just released a hip hop album? Titled “Hip-Hopcrisy” Singleton talks about “society at large and the ills that we face. His ambition is to encourage, inspire and motivate us all towards positive change for the betterment of humanity.”

“Hip-Hopcrisy”, the album is a voice for those struggling to overcome their circumstances, those searching their souls for an alternative to a life entrenched in drugs, violence or sexual promiscuity and for those looking for a refreshingly creative, alternative lyrical flow. It is a voice for the ages. A voice for the people. A voice of truth. A voice of love. [Via]

Track number 2 is called “We Are The Walking Dead” and it “examines humanity through the personified point of view of zombies.” The song was inspired by his role on The Walking Dead. 

It is surprising to note that Carol (Melissa McBride) was supposed to have been killed off in the episode “Killer Within” on The Walking Dead, but the producers eventually decided to kill T-Dog instead. According to Wetpaint, in an interview with The Walker Stalkers podcast, Greg Nicotero, TWD’s producer, revealed the change made to the show’s original script.“In the original draft of [‘Killer Within’] script, Melissa McBride’scharacter [Carol] was supposed to die. Iron-E [T-Dog] wasn’t going to die, it was going to be Carol.”

It was probably really tough to break the news to Iron-E Singleton, who had become a fan-favorite on the show.

Hip-Hopcrisy is now on iTunes
