“F**K That”: Jennifer Lawrence Bashes Hollywood’s Gender Pay Gap

“F**K That”: Jennifer Lawrence calls out Hollywood’s sexist gender pay gap

Jennifer Lawrence just slammed the gender pay inequality in Hollywood in an essay addressing revelations from the Sony Hack that she was earning way less than her male co-stars in American Hustle. 

“When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself,” she wrote in an for her friend Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter newsletter. “I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need.”

The Oscar Winner said her decision not to fight for higher pay was impacted by her need “to be liked” and her fear of coming off as “difficult” or “spoiled”. Jennifer Lawrence said those image concerns are also part of America’s culture to not “offend or scare men”.

“At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realized every man I was working with definitely didn’t worry about being ‘difficult’ or ‘spoiled,’” she wrote.

Jennifer Lawrence said she is no longer letting the industry’s sexism affect her acting career: “F— That”

“I’m over trying to find the ‘adorable’ way to state my opinion and still be likable! F— that,” she concluded in an essay titled “Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars?” “I don’t think I’ve ever worked for a man in charge who spent time contemplating what angle he should use to have his voice heard. It’s just heard. Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper all fought and succeeded in negotiating powerful deals for themselves. If anything, I’m sure they were commended for being fierce and tactical, while I was busy worrying about coming across as a brat and not getting my fair share.”

“Again, this might have NOTHING to do with my vagina, but I wasn’t completely wrong when another leaked Sony email revealed a producer referring to a fellow lead actress in a negotiation as a ‘spoiled brat.’ For some reason, I just can’t picture someone saying that about a man.”

Tinseltown / Shutterstock.com

Her remarks are reference to an email in which producer Scott Rudin called Angelina Jolie Pitt a “minimally talented spoiled brat” in an exchange with then Sony co-chair Amy Pascal.

Jennifer Lawrence has joined together with Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Geena Davis, Liv Tyler, Helen Mirren, Sandra Bullock, Patricia Arquette and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who are also bashing the sexism in the industry.

Jennifer Lawrence is currently working on the new movie Passengers which is filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Passengers features Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt and centers around Passengers is about a man, played by Chris Pratt, who is among thousands of passengers on a colony ship on an interstellar journey. Awakened early from a cryogenic sleep by a system malfunction, he finally makes the decision to wake another sleeping passenger, to be played by Jennifer Lawrence, to avoid spending decades alone on the ship.

How NBC Created and Adds Those ‘Blindspot’ Tattoos

0

Here’s what it takes to create and add all those Blindspot tattoos.

NBC’s Blindspot has quickly become one of the most watched TV shows on TV. In fact, the series has recevied pretty high reviews from critics. Currently, on Rotten Tomatoes Blindspot has a ratting of 66% calling the website “an intriguing mystery and enough strong action to propel most viewers into a necessary suspense of disbelief.” In addition, the series premiere had nearly 11 million viewers.

But, what does it take to add all of those Blindspot tattoos on Jane Doe played by Jaime Alexander. Well, according to a report by the NYPost, it takes a lot of work.

Blindspot, whose entire premise depends on a make-up artist’s drawings, the key task and designing and applying all of those tattoos on Jane’s body lies in the hands of special effects wizards Tinsley Studio.

Tinsley Studio previously worked on major movies and TV shows such as Sons of Anarchy, and American Horror Story. But, according to Tinsley Studio, this is one of the most challenging jobs yet because of the tattoos’ central role in the plot and premise of Blindspot. 

“[This show] is different because [the designs] are clues that lead to something … It’s a character in itself, the tattoos,” says Robin Hatcher, production supervisor/coordinator for Tinsley Studio.

NBC Blindspot
NBC Blindspot

Before ever filming the pilot for NBC’s Blindspot, the producers came up with the idea of hundreds of tattoos across her body.

“We went on to research conspiracies, American history, various symbols, and put a bunch of compilations together,” Hatcher says. “They didn’t know what clues [they wanted] or where the storyline was [going], so it was about creating different things that they could use or hide very specific images in [as scripts are written].” [NYPost]

Then comes the hard part – applying all of those tattoos on the actress. It takes a team of three people nearly 8 hours to apply Alexander’s full-body tattoos, or one to two hours for her daily look on NBC’s Blindspot.

Though Blindspot tattoos are applied much like temporary tattoos you would find in a vending machine, Tinsley uses professional-quality ink or UV cosmetic paint for invisible tattoos and medical grade adhesive to make sure those tattoos last for long shooting days. All in all, the tattoos can last for up to three days. In fact, “Sometimes if they’re doing a full-body look, Jaimie will actually go home and sleep in the tattoos so that they don’t have to be reapplied the next day,” Hatcher says.

ABC is Rebooting ‘Fantasy Island’ (AGAIN)

0

ABC is going to reboot ‘Fantasy Island’ again!

ABC has given the go-ahead for a second reboot of the 1970s series Fantasy Island, this time with a woman replacing Ricardo Montalban’s legendary role.

The new version of Fantasy Island is expected to follow “a brilliant, dynamic and sexy woman who runs a San Francisco-based company that provides clients with his/her most intimate, dark or outlandish fantasy,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The original series starred Montalban as the mysterious Mr. Roarke, who always wore a white suit, and Herve Villechaize as Tattoo, his pint-size sidekick.

They ran an island in the Pacific where people paid millions to live out their fantasies.

The show, produced by Aaron Spelling, ran for six years and was part of the major Aaron Spelling TV empire which included Love Boat and Charlie’s Angels. All three shows aired back to back just like Shonda Rhimes’ hit TGIT series.

ABC revived, Fantasy Island in 1988 with dismal results eventually canceling the series after only a few episodes.

Quentin Tarantino Tells Black Critics: My Skin Color Doesn’t Matter

0

Quentin Tarantino says black critics that his skin color doesn’t matter.

Quentin Tarantino is known in Hollywood for repeatedly using the N-word, when many people, especially other filmmakers such as Spike Lee, find it unnecessary and downright disrespectful. In fact, Spike Lee thought Quentin Tarantino’s movies were so offensive that it ruined his friendship with Samuel L. Jackson for several years, after Jackson worked on the movie Pulp Fiction alongside Quentin Tarantino.This Super-Cut of Every Quentin Tarantino Death Scene is Amazing [Video]

But, in a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, the writer, director, and filmmaker, Quentin Tarantino responded to the criticism by saying his race was ultimately irrelevant.

The director of the upcoming film The Hateful Eight told the The New York Times that he didn’t care he was bashed in “savage think pieces” by black critics for 2012’s Django Unchained, but in his opinion it really did bother the filmmaker.

“If people don’t like my movies, they don’t like my movies, and if they don’t get it, it doesn’t matter,” Tarantino said. “The bad taste that was left in my mouth had to do with this: It’s been a long time since the subject of a writer’s skin was mentioned as often as mine. You wouldn’t think the color of a writer’s skin should have any effect on the words themselves.”

Django Unchained
Django Unchained

Tarantino, who won a best original screenplay Oscar for the Jamie Foxx slave revenge story, made many critics really upset with the director.

“In a lot of the more ugly pieces my motives were really brought to bear in the most negative way,” he said. “It’s like I’m some supervillain coming up with this stuff.”

Spike Lee was one of the most vocal critics of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained movie.

“This is the best time to get out there because there actually is a genuine platform,” he added. “Now it’s being talked about.’’

django-jackson

It is important to note that in the movie Django Unchained featured the N-word over 100 times. And during the filming of one of the dinner scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop the scene because he was having “a difficult time” using so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson then pulled him aside telling him, “Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us.”

The Hateful Eight will be released on Christmas Day.

Why #NoBraDay is Probably a Huge Hoax

0

Is #NoBraDay a real holiday or is a huge hoax? You may be going bra less for no reason.

Today is National No Bra Day as part of efforts to promote the October 1-31 Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

What is #NoBraDay?

The National No Bra Day is an annual holiday reportedly created four years ago by breast cancer advocates to commemorate the October Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to serve as a reminder for all women to be screened for breast cancer.

For survivors and family members of cancer survivors, it is a day meant to promote breast cancer awareness and to help raise money for Breast Cancer research.

Is #NoBraDay an actual breast cancer awareness campaign?

However, #NoBraDay follows in the footsteps of the Ice Bucket Challenge and the no make-up selfie challenge by encourage social media users to get in on the act for a good cause.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, the hashtag is meant to inspire and motivate others to stop wearing a bra for a day and go commando.

Where it differs from other challenges is how exploitative it is to women. Plus it’s unclear what the actual goal of going bra-less is.

There is no mention of fund-raising or backing by any breast cancer charities and sparse information on self-examination.

According to Mirror, the Cancer Research UK admitted it did not know that #NoBraDay existed or if any cancer charities supported it.

In fact, many believe that they are using Breast Cancer awareness in order to take advantage of women.

Should you go braless for #NoBraDay?

No Bra Day

Women know the challenges that come with not wearing a bra. For one thing, people can judge women and therefore, slut-shamed, but a 2013 French study has shown that there are many advantages to wearing a bra.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra,” said Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at the University of Besançon in France,according to The Local.

However, for many women, going braless is a matter of personal choice and there’s a proper time and place for this. “For example, wearing a thin shirt with no bra in a court room would not be appropriate. I think a good rule of thumb would be if the guys are expected to wear suits than the ladies should be wearing bras,” said one commenter on Reddit’s Ask Women section.

Overall…

#NoBraDay
#NoBraDay

In June, the #HoldACokeWithYourBoobsChallenge came under fire for duping hundreds of women into posting sexually suggestive pictures of themselves online.

Originally started to poke fun at the Ice Bucket Challenge and no make-up selfie started, it escalated, with millions of people believing it was for charity.

As for No Bra Day, for the most part it seems like women are finding new and innovative ways to find support for breast cancer awareness but, it may just be a huge scam for creepy perverts.

‘Empire’ Rapper Discovered While Giving Haircuts in Atlanta

0

Freda Gatz was discovered by doing haircuts in Atlanta for the show Empire.

The latest character added to the Empire franchise, Freda Gatz, has become one of the most talked about rappers in the last few weeks. She’s Lucious Lyon’s latest obsession because of her raw talented rough-around-the-edges persona.

The rhymes come pretty easy for rapper-turned-actress Bre-Z, Calesha Murray. But the hit Fox show is a long way from her first career, working as a barber.

Cutting her is a family tradition. Her father and grandfather both made their living as barbers, and the 28-year-old says, “I picked up the clippers and knew what I was doing when I was 10 years old. It was just something that was in me. Nobody had to teach me anything.”

Fredie Gatz
FOX

She typically cut men’s hair, preferring the ease with which you can get them in and out of the barber’s chair, and quickly built a reputation in Atlanta, where she worked at Pro Cuts for several years. “I loved the atmosphere,” she says. “I loved the conversations.”

While working as a barber, she went to teh recording studio used by Ludacris, who also had a role this season on Empire, to cut the hair of the guys working there.

“Whatever they asked for, I gave them,” says Bre-Z, who also cut rapper Akon’s hair. “There was the time when the Mohawk was big. There was a time when the blowout cut was the favorite. The guys might get the same haircut three weeks straight, then the fourth week they want something completely different. As soon as you get in the swing, they want to change it up. But the customer is always right.”

Freda Gatz Empire

While she was cutting hair, she also became more talented as a rapper, and that’s how she gained the attention of Empire co-creator Lee Daniels, who reached out to Bre-Z after someone recommended her for the show. “Being an actress was not on my radar,” she says. “I spend my time making my music.”

Since the show air, the exposure has boosted her career.

“It’s a great moment that’s made people pay more attention to what I’m doing,” she says. “I’m never just sitting on my butt, eating sunflower seeds. Music, I’m always doing that. It’s a stress reliever. It’s a form of therapy.”

Model’s Career Ruined After Black Market Butt Injections

0

An aspiring model’s black market butt injections ruined her life and modeling career.

Several years ago, Aniva Cruz- Dilworth was a popular and successful plus-size model. The pictures of her cost fashion companies thousands of dollars. However, the former model, whose career ambition drove her to elective black market plastic surgery, suffers from nonstop physical and emotional pain, brought on by the loss of her career and a disfigured rear end.

The Huffington Post reports that Cruz-Dilworth, who will be appearing on Iyanla, Fix My Life this Saturday, never thought that her modeling career, would lead to such a horrible ending. She was signed with Wilhelmina and she was one of the most sought after models in the industry. But in order to stay competitive, the model decided that she needed a larger butt, so she did what many other models were doing when they couldn’t afford a plastic surgeon, she got fillers from an unlicenses practicioner who used products that should never go into a human body. “I was on a couch with a red cookout cup,” Cruz-Dilworth told Iyanla Vanzant. “I didn’t have the money, and I found someone that was affordable.”

Butt Injections
OWN

Cruz-Dilworth reveals that the injections were so cheap and convient that they became an addiction whenever she saw an imperfection or dent. But while the model thought the injections would boost her career, they started holding her back.

“I wanted a modeling contract. I started getting butt injections… And then, I couldn’t keep the weight on anymore. I started slimming down,” Anivia says. “The butt was so big and the body was getting so small. I wasn’t booking anymore jobs because I couldn’t fit anything.”

Finally, to make things worse, Cruz-Dilworth’s butt began to hurt so much that she couldn’t even sleep at night. She was later diagnised with granuloma, which occurred after the silicon in her body began to spread through out her body, causing pain and developing masses throughout her body.

“My nerves are damaged because of it. I have scar tissue inside of me. I have severe swelling,” Anivia says. “I was maybe at about 42 inches around my hips, but now because of the swelling and inflammation, my hips are like a 47. This foreign substance is a part of me now.”

Cruiz-Dilworth, who has also been accused and charged for performing illegal plastic surgery on other women, knows that there’s nothing she can do but choose to accept her new body. And while she is no longer a model, she is using her story to inspire others not to get butt injections but accept their body. This story is a reminder of how dangerous surgery can really be.

Rapper Scarface Arrested At the BET Hip-Hop Awards After Winning Major Award

0

Rapper Scarface was arrested at the BET Hip-Hop Awards after being honored.

Hip-hop star Scarface was a major winner at the BET Hip-Hop Awards on October 9th, but was a major loser when cops picked him up at the ceremony, but he was arrested after and thrown into jail for not paying child support.

In what should have been a major night of partying and celebration for the rapper, Scarface, whose real name is Brad Jordan, was presented with the I Am Hip-Hop Award at the ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, but was soon whisked away by cops and taken into custody at the Fulton County Jail.

Scarface is best known for his hit songs, “Smile,” “My Block” and “I Seen a Man Die” in a career that has spanned 12 solo albums. His first taste of fame, however, came with the Geto Boys in the 1980s with their hit song, “Mind Playing Tricks On Me.”

R&B and hip-hop blog FreddyO gave a detailed account of the incident. “After Scarface exited the stage heading back to the celebrity trailers there were 10 sheriffs waiting to arrest him,” the site reported. “Scarface was so concerned about accepting his award and not disappointing his fans he risked being arrested.”

Previous winners of the I Am Hip-Hop Award include Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte, Rakim, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube, Russell Simmons, KRS-One andGrandmaster Flash.

They added that Snoop Dogg, who was hosting the event, saw the whole thing go down and wasn’t happy about it. “Snoop was back stage when Scarface was arrested and was upset that; the great moment ended on a sour note,” the blog continued.

We have to say, it seems a bit reckless of Scarface to ignore the law and leave state to collect an award. But, maybe his attorney didn’t inform him of the consequences.
