Asian Oscar winners are not too happy with the 2016 Academy Awards.

In the long and laborious fight against racial inequalities in the entertainment industry, Asian groups often get left out of the conversation. A new report from Variety notes a letter penned by Ang Lee and a host of other Asian Oscar winners from the documentary, short-form and technical branches expressing frustration with the “racist stereotypes” on display in the Oscar telecast from two weeks ago and demand for the Academy to be more respectful moving forward.

The letter carefully asserted the signees’ disappointment with the organization:

“We are writing as Academy members of Asian descent to express our complete surprise and disappointment with the targeting of Asians at the 88th Oscars telecast and its perpetuation of racist stereotypes. In light of criticism over #OscarsSoWhite, we were hopeful that the telecast would provide the Academy a way forward and the chance to present a spectacular example of inclusion and diversity. Instead, the Oscars show was marred by a tone-deaf approach to its portrayal of Asians.

“We’d like to know how such tasteless and offensive skits could have happened and what process you have in place to preclude such unconscious or outright bias and racism toward any group in future Oscars telecasts. We look forward to hearing from you about this matter and about the concrete steps to ensure that all people are portrayed with dignity and respect.”

Though the letter does not make specific references, readers can assume the signees are referring to a bit from Chris Rock in which he introduced the Oscar accountants charged with adding up the votes, only for little kids to walk out, playing into stereotypes about Asian kids being super mathematicians.

It’s particularly surprising that the Academy would use such low level jokes during a ceremony centering around diversity and including, following all the embarrassment over the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.

I guess it’s just another mistake in a long history for the organization that is frequently labeled as just another racist institution.

Hacker pleads guilty to the celebrity “Fappening” hacks.

Ryan Collins of Pennsylvania will plead guilty to violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act as part of the celebrity iCloud hack known as “The Fappening” by the guys over at 4chan and Reddit. He now faces up to five years in prison.

But according to reports, Collins will serve far less than five years in prison. The feds say “parties have agreed to recommend a prison term of 18 months,” although “that recommendation will not be binding on the sentencing judge.”

So how did Ryan Collins hack into all of those celebrity accounts? It was completed through a hacking technique called “phishing”.

Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Once armed with a celebrity’s email and password, the feds say Collins downloaded complete backups of their iPhones.

It interesting to point out that the Depart of Justice does not say if Collins actually leaked the photos onto the Internet.

According to factual basis in the plea agreement, from November 2012 until the beginning of September 2014, Collins engaged in a phishing scheme to obtain usernames and passwords for his victims. He sent e-mails to victims that appeared to be from Apple or Google and asked victims to provider their usernames and passwords. When the victims responded, Collins then had access to the victims’ e-mail accounts.

After illegally accessing the e-mail accounts, Collins obtained personal information including nude photographs and videos, according to his plea agreement. In some instances, Collins would use a software program to download the entire contents of the victims’ Apple iCloud backups.

The charge against Collins stems from the investigation into the leaks of photographs of numerous female celebrities in September 2014 known as “Celebgate.” However, investigators have not uncovered any evidence linking Collins to the actual leaks or that Collins shared or uploaded the information he obtained.

Many of Collins’ victims were members of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. By illegally accessing the e-mail accounts, Collins accessed at least 50 iCloud accounts and 72 Gmail accounts, most of which belonged to female celebrities.

Jennifer Lawrence, Gabrielle Union, Kate Upton and Ariana Grande were just a few of the women in Hollywood whose personal photos were put on the Internet for the masses to enjoy.

Jennifer Lawrence told Vanity Fair in a November 2014 article that the invasion of privacy was more than a scandal — it’s a sex crime.

“The law needs to be changed, and we need to change,” she said in the cover story. “Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it.”

A “human skull” was allegedly found on Mama June’s property.

It’s pretty surprising that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo keeps trying to make a return as a reality star but if it pays the bills, then why not.

TMZ reports that police were brought to June’s recently bought investment property in Griffin, GA to investigate a potential human skull that was found on the property.

The Griffin Police Dept tells us the workers found a long abandoned water well on the property … and after scoping it with a cell phone tied to a rope … believe they saw the remains of a human skull.

June was not on the property at the time … but was notified by the workers after they called police.

Cops say they scoped the well with their own video equipment … and believe the object is a rock, but say they’re going to return in the morning with a cadaver sniffing dog, just to be safe.

Fingers crossed it’s just a rock.
