Tiffany Haddish cancels Atlanta show over abortion law

Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish has canceled her upcoming Atlanta performance because of Georgia’s new restrictive abortion law. News outlets report that the “Girls Trip” star sent a statement to ticketholders Saturday, saying she cannot “in good faith” perform in Georgia unless it withdraws the so-called heartbeat bill. Haddish had been scheduled to perform June 22 at the Fox Theatre. The new law would ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early a...

Taylor Swift drops new album over night

Taylor Swift dropped her new single Calm Down on Thursday night, which takes aim at anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. The 29 year old singer dropped the new song at just after midnight EST, which also takes shots at haters and trolls of all varieties.   The starlet spoke to the toxicity of fandom, with some lyrics that will likely be controversial to some. 'You are somebody that I don’t know / but you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s Patron / like damn / it’s 7 a.m.' the song begins. Say it in the stree...

You know Ronan Farrow.  He's the journalist that blew Hollywood wide open with his expose on Harvey Weinstein and other showbiz industry leaders who assaulted actors and actresses for decades.  Essentially starting the #MeToo movement. Now Ronan is calling out his own industry. The media. While accepting a Mirror Award for media reporting from Syracuse University on Thursday, Ronan noted the good and the bad of media.  He saluted fellow journalists and industry leaders at the Manhattan...

[caption id="attachment_179683" align="aligncenter" width="987"][caption id="attachment_179683" align="aligncenter" width="987"] Photo by Michael Buckner/Variety/REX/Shutterstock[/caption] On Wednesday the Television Academy circulated a memo which announced that several members of the Performance Peer Group branch (aka actors) were found to be engaging and advocating for block voting. Block voting is just when actors get together and agree they're all going to vote for the same nominee. Which can be hard to refuse when the herd mentality kicks in.  So ...

Cuba Gooding jr may not turn himself into NYPD

On Sunday night, Cuba Gooding jr was at Magic Hour night club in Manhattan with some friends.  When he left, a woman came forward claiming the actor had grabbed her breast while in the club.   Police issued a warrant for Cuba and word was he was going to bring himself in on Thursday. Cuba adamantly denies he did anything of the sort and believes video proof likely exists in club surveillance cameras. Now TMZ is reporting they spoke to Cuba's lawyer, Mark Heller, who said he has viewed...

Jessica Biel comes out as an Anti-Vaxxer and lobbies Senate

Jessica Biel, actress and wife of Justin Timberlake, has just "come out" as an anti-vaxxer, in a surprise move that has her teaming up with know anti-vax supporter, Robert F Kennedy jr.. There had been word back in 2015 that Jess had chosen not to vaccinate her own son, Silis, who she shares with Timberlake, but this is the first we're seeing her actually express strong feelings on the matter. Anti-vaxxers want to be able to ... well... not vaccinate their kids.  But the growing number of peopl...

[caption id="attachment_179672" align="aligncenter" width="590"][caption id="attachment_179672" align="aligncenter" width="590"] (Photo: NYU McSilver/DavidPaulOnline)[/caption] Meek Mill has become so synonymous with the causes of prison reform and justice reform, that it would seem only right he be honored for even just the attention he draws to the causes.  His own stint in jail, released in 2018, was full of concerns and controversy. Now New York University is recognizing the Philadelphia rapper for all his hard work. On Tuesday, the university’s M...

Ariana Grande donates ATL show proceeds to Planned Parenthood

TMZ is reporting that Ariana Grande has once again donated show proceeds to a charitable cause. Grande's June 8th show in Atlanta Georgia was a sold out crowd and generated an estimated $300,000 for the singer.  Now that hardy sum will go to the Planned Parenthood organization. The move is significant (and likely in response to) the fact that Georgia is one of the backwards states that passed the “fetal heartbeat” abortion law.  The new restrictions have triggered a call for a boycott of t...

Bradley Cooper emotionally distant during filming lead to break up

I urge us all to take these "source" provided details about any famous relationship with a grain of salt.  But with that said, People.com is who is reporting the news and they're about as creditable as a gossip rag can get. So this source says that while filming "A Star Is Born" with Gaga, Bradley was emotionally absent from his relationship with Irina Shayk.  (because he was falling for Gaga, please???) Once filming ended, the two tried to repair the damage, but it was too late. He...

Stephen Dorff sells his amazing Malibu pad

Full disclosure, I was shocked to hear Stephen Dorff even had property, let alone beach front in the 'Bu.  The actor was hocking blue e-cigs on cable access not too long ago.  But this place, which he bought in 2001 for $2.546m, is just captivating. It's got a real retro vibe, with 70's colors, exposed speakers and an old keyboard in the bedroom.  But check out those steps off the deck that take you to your own private slice of heaven and you'll see where the price comes in.  He got $7.5m for it. 2,376 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms Full disclosure, I was shocked to hear Stephen Dorff even had property, let alone beach front in the 'Bu.  The actor was hocking blue e-cigs on cable access not too long ago.  But this place, which he bought in 2001 for $2.546m, is just captivating.

Britney Spears shares conspiracy theory about Paparazzo

Britney Spears aired out a "conspiracy theory" of her own after photos surfaced of her soaking up the sun in Miami with her boyfriend, Sam Asghari. Which, frankly, I found adorable. The singer spent some quality time with her boyfriend in Florida over the weekend, and photos of the couple on a yacht began to make the rounds online hours after their sun-filled date -- but Spears wasn't happy with how she appeared in the pictures, so she took to her Instagram story to share her thoughts...
