  • Holly Holm: Ronda Rousey Says Loss To Holm Caused Her To Contemplate Suicide

    Holly Holm is still riding high after her shocking victory over MMA champion Ronda Rousey last year.

    In fact, Holly Holm is already training for a highly-publicized match against Meisha Tate in March and if she wins, she’ll be facing Ronda Rousey again in November.

    Last month, Holly Holm said she was ready to move on with her career and wasn’t concerned about Ronda Rousey’s career at all.

    Holly Holm said, “For me I want to keep fighting and if Ronda wants to come back and that’s her passion — great. If she wants to stay in movies — great.”

    She added, “I think that I would rather meet someone in the cage when they’re passionate about it. I don’t want it to be because they feel like they have to or it’s expected or other people are curious about it. It’s Ronda’s life, I want her to do what she wants to do.”

    What Rhonda wants to do is beat Holly Holm and set things right. That’s what she said on Tuesday’s episode of Ellen, anyway.

    It seems her spirits have lightened since being defeated by Holly Holm. Directly after the match, she wasn’t so sure of anything.

    She told Ellen, “In the medical room, I was down in the corner, I was sitting in the corner and I was like, ‘What am I anymore if I’m not this?’”

    She added, “And I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself in that exact second, I’m nothing. Like what do I do anymore? And no one gives an [expletive] about me anymore without this.”

    Such a surprising revelation from a person who is seemingly one of the world’s most confident women!

    Are you surprised that Holly Holm’s victory brought out such feelings in Ronda Rousey?

  • Nicola Griffin, 56, To Be In Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

    Nicola Griffin has now proudly joined the ranks of those who are changing things over at Sports Illustrated.

    Nicola Griffin is a 56-year-old plus-size model who will appear in a campaign spread for Swimsuits for All.

    Nicola Griffin looks amazing (and normal) in a gold bikini.

    She said, “It’s not all about being 20 and 5’10”. We’re bored of that! We are all different ages and sizes and that’s the beauty of it. We’re real women.”

    Last year was the very first time that Sports Illustrated featured a plus-size model when they rolled out the Swimsuits for All ads.

    Another plus-size model, Philomenia Kwao, will also grace the pages of the campaign.

    It’s the golden age of body positivity and I’m so proud to be a part of it. #SwimSexy @swimsuitsforall #PhilomenaKwao

    Last year’s ads featured plus-size model Ashley Graham, but this year Ashley has been selected as one of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Rookies, in addition to the Swimsuits for All ads.

  • Rosamund Pike Lends Voice To “Thunderbirds” Reboot

    Rosamund Pike is lending her famously smooth British voice to a new children’s show.

    Amazon has announced a new reboot of Thunderbirds Are Go, which will feature Rosamund Pike as Lady Penelope.

    Other voice stars for the show include Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Rasmus Hardiker.

    Thunderbirds has been aired in the UK in 2015 and early 2016, now Amazon is bringing it to the US. Amazon has already ordered four seasons of the show.

    The original Lady Penelope was voiced by Sylvia Anderson in 1965 and was portrayed by Sophia Myles in the 2004 live-action film.

    We're proud to announce Thunderbirds Are Go is set to land in the U.S. on @AmazonVideo #ThunderbirdsAreGo

    The new series starring Rosamund Pike is a combination of CGI and live-action model sets. They’ve come a long way since the original 1965 British series, which was a puppet show.

    The show centers around the five Tracy brothers. The brothers are pilots of the Thunderbird vehicles who carry out daring rescue missions around the world.

    But the animated series is not the only thing that Rosamund Pike has going on right now.

    It is rumored that Rosamund Pike has been looking into starring in the new film Guernsey. Also involved in that project is director Mike Newell of Harry Potter fame.

    This film follows a writer (possibly Rosamund Pike), as she forms a bond with the residents of Guernsey Island in the aftermath of World War II.

    She then decides to write a book about their experiences during the war.

    Sounds like an amazing role for Rosamund Pike!

    What do you think about Rosamund Pike voicing Lady Penelope in the new Thunderbirds are Go reboot?

  • Ashley Benson, A Size Two, Considered “Too Fat”

    Ashley Benson, as one of the adorable stars of Pretty Little Liars, knows firsthand about the unrealistic expectations that Hollywood and media put on young women.

    This is most particularly felt when it comes to weight and size.

    Body image is a constant struggle for most women Ashley Benson’s age in show business.

    Even Ashley Benson, at a size two, has been told that she’s too fat for a role.

    I'm on this month's cover of @healthmagazine be sure to get a copy

    A photo posted by Ashley Benson (@itsashbenzo) on

    She told Health magazine, “It’s come up a few times in the last few years, like, ‘You’re too fat for this.’ I get told all the time to lose weight. I’m just sitting here like, ‘Wait, what? Do you want a skeleton?’”

    She added, “But, I feel good. I don’t want to lose 20 pounds, because I don’t need to.”

    However, Ashley Benson does have some body envy when it comes to other celebrities.

    When she was asked who she would trade bodies with if she could, Ashley Benson said, “Jenna Dewan-Tatum. She is, like, the cutest thing. Her body right now is so incredible—and she’s had a kid!”

    She added, “I would obviously say, like, every supermodel, like Candice Swanepoel and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley—but that is just so not my body.”

    She may feel good about her body most of the time, but when she doesn’t, Ashley Benson just does what the rest of us do.

    She said, “I’m still working on it. Really, honestly, if I have to go to an event and I’m not feeling my best? Spanx all the way. Literally. Even if you don’t need them.”

    Sometimes, celebrities are just like us. What do you think about Ashley Benson being called too fat?

  • Melissa Benoist: Grant Gustin Shares First Looks At Flash/Supergirl Crossover

    Melissa Benoist as Supergirl is going to be fighting crime, or metahumans, alongside The Flash in a new Supergirl episode very soon. March 28th, in fact.

    That seems a long time to wait for fans of Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin, but never fear.

    Grant Gustin has been kind enough to share a couple of Instagram posts with Melissa Benoist to revive the excitement until the big team-up.

    He captioned the photo, “Those two emblems look pretty good together…”

    This week’s episode of The Flash teased Melissa Benoist’s appearance when Barry (The Flash) caught a fleeting glimps of Supergirl flying during a momentary breach in the multiverse.

    The emblem photo isn’t the first that Grant Gustin has posted about his teaming up with Melissa Benoist.

    In fact, he shared a photo of he and Melissa Benoist laughing in the streets of National City just after news broke that this crossover was happening.

    It was captioned, “Secret is out. @melissabenoist and I are gonna get to have some fun on Supergirl together..”

    Gustin even took a little time out from shooting the episode to poke a little fun at the producers over at The Flash.

    Hey Flash producers… I've already got a fancier chair on Supergirl than I've got on Flash. Just saying…

    This crossover episode looks like it will be so fun! Are you looking forward to seeing Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist team up?

  • Hailey Baldwin Finally Confirming Bieber Relationship?

    Hailey Baldwin Finally Confirming Bieber Relationship?

    Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber have been teasing a possible budding romance for a few months without either one of them confirming it.

    But, perhaps Hailey Baldwin just did.

    Hailey Baldwin was asked on Tuesday about Bieber’s interview wherein he called Hailey Baldwin “someone I really love.”

    In response, she said, “We are not an exclusive couple. He’s about to go on tour. Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s between me and him. Honestly, the rest of the GQ article comes out tomorrow.”

    She then said, “It’s just between me and him.”

    Of course, if we learned anything from the Bieber/Gomez fiasco, it’s that young love is very complicated and doubly so if you’re trying to conduct romance in the spotlight.

    Hailey Baldwin said, “The thing is, I live a very public life and I have to keep things personal or else I have no personal life. It’s very difficult. I am very open on social media, but that’s why I don’t like to talk about certain things.”

    Hailey made me get corn rows like an absolute douche bag, these will be off tomorrow trust me Danny

    A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

    She added, “It really is my personal business. And I like to think my relationships are not between me the person and the whole entire world. It’s hard. I don’t think people are really able to understand if they’re not in that position.”

    Obviously the two of them have grown, um, close, but are Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber an exclusive couple?

  • Mary McCormack, Retta, Other Actresses Star In Pro-Choice Videos

    Mary McCormack and some famous friends like Elizabeth Banks, Retta and Amy Brennaman are have joined the fight against abortion restrictions.

    The videos starring Mary McCormack and others are coming out shortly ahead of the case which will take place March 2nd in the Supreme Court about restrictions imposed by the state of Texas on abortion clinics.

    The video campaign, called Draw the Line, featured scripts written by Betty Thomas. The scripts came from real women who submitted their true stories to The Center for Reproductive Rights.

    For example, Mary McCormack tells the story, in the first person, about a woman named Susanne. Susanne was denied an abortion after she went into preterm labor and it was confirmed that she would lose the baby in the end.

    Mary McCormack details how Susanne, instead of getting an abortion, had to endure 17 hours of labor only for her son to die minutes after birth.

    https://youtu.be/RAOo32xGny4

    Elizabeth Banks is another celebrity that is lending her name and face to the Draw the Line campaign.

    In her video, she tells the story of Rebecca, who aborted her abusive boyfriend’s baby and the surprising support that came from a stubborn friend.

    In part of her video, she says, “I told her I could not have my abuser’s baby. I could not create a life with such a hateful man.”

    https://youtu.be/wIMfu7IdsIw

    She added, “What I remember the most about my experience is how the women in my life stepped up to support the decision I was choosing to make, because the life they were most concerned about was mine.”

    However, the Draw the Line ladies are not the only ones who are hoping for a decision in their favor from the Supreme Court.

    A coalition of pro-life activists called Texas Loves Life are launching a prayer campaign for the restrictions to be upheld.

    Carol Everett, founder of The Heidi Group based in Round Rock, Texas, said, “We recently surveyed our network of 183 life-affirming pregnancy centers in Texas, who reported increases as high as 300 percent of women using our ultrasound and other services.”

    She added, “Working from that detailed survey, we estimate at least 40,000 lives have been saved in Texas since HB 2 was enacted in 2013.”

    What do you think about Mary McCormack and other women stepping into the Draw the Line campaign ahead of the Supreme Court ruling?

  • Ashley Graham Grateful That “Voices Were Heard”, Becomes First Plus-Size Sports Illustrated “Rookie”

    Ashley Graham has long been known as a talented plus-size (some might say regular-size) model in the fashion industry.

    But, on Tuesday, Ashley Graham saw a dream come true when she was announced as one of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue “Rookies”.

    Ashley Graham appeared in the magazine last year in an ad, but this year, became the first plus-size model to make a swimsuit spread.

    Ashley Graham expressed her joy on Instagram with a shot of her in a bikini.

    The pic was captioned, “It’s official – I’m a @si_swimsuit model!! This is a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who stood up for curves- our voices were heard and together you can help me win Rookie of the Year. Stay tuned for voting instructions #beautybeyondsize #siswim”

    Confidence is my golden rule. Have you seen my new #SwimSexy campaign with @swimsuitsforall in @SI_Swimsuit?

    Ashley Graham, who is reportedly a size 14, and other so-called plus-size models like Robyn Lawley, who is a size 10-12, have made huge strides in the last few years toward body acceptance of all sizes.

    A photo posted by Robyn Lawley Swimwear (@robynlawleyswimwear) on

    However, Ashley Graham doesn’t really care to be known as a plus-size model.

    She said, “I hate the word ‘real woman’ and I hate the word ‘plus-size’.”

    She added, “I’ve got plenty of friends [of all sizes] and different shapes and everything and I don’t want any of them to feel like they aren’t ‘real women’.”

    Ashley Graham said she understands “that a lot of women still love this word. I totally respect that, but for someone like me, I don’t feel the connection to the word ‘plus-sized.’”

    Interesting. Do you agree with Ashley Graham’s sentiments on the term “plus-size”?

  • Christine Taylor: Stiller Children Unimpressed By Bieber Cameo In “Zoolander 2”

    Christine Taylor, Ben Stiller and their children, Ella, 14, and Quinlin, 10, made a family affair of the Zoolander 2 London premiere on Tuesday.

    The whole family looked quite fashionable, obviously, but it was the surprising comments from Christine Taylor that really raised eyebrows.

    To begin with, Christine Taylor said her daughter, Ella, isn’t in love with Justin Bieber like all of the other 14-year-olds.

    Therefore, she wasn’t impressed with his cameo in Zoolander 2.

    She said, “Our daughter, who is almost 14 – of all of the 14-year-olds on the planet, she is the one child who is like: ‘Dad, I get it, everyone loves Justin Bieber, but I’m not one of them.’”

    Hmmm. However, there is one star from Zoolander 2 who Christine Taylor admits has caught her daughter’s eye.

    She said, “Benedict? Let’s not get started. Ella, our daughter, is obsessed with Sherlock, obsessed with Benedict, so Ben’s street cred rose in huge amounts the minute that she found out that Benedict was a part of the movie.”

    That’s my kind of girl.

    The premiere began with a Zoolander fashion show with the stars of the movie, including Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Penelope Cruz.

    Music was provided by none other than Skrillex.

    What do you think of Christine Taylor’s comments about their daughter? Pretty funny, right?

  • Zooey Deschanel: Replacement, Megan Fox, Better Than Anticipated

    Zooey Deschanel was on maternity leave, covered for in the show as jury duty, when the first episodes of this season of New Girl were filmed, of course.

    And I’ll admit, when the news came out that Megan Fox was to be her replacement, my eyes may have rolled a little. I’m sure I’m not the only fan of Zooey Deschanel’s that did.

    However, after the first episode starring Megan Fox as Zooey Deschanel’s replacement aired on Tuesday I, and likely many others, was pleasantly surprised.

    Megan Fox didn’t just take over the show with her requisite hotness. Of course, her hotness was alluded to, but it wasn’t the focus.

    Megan Fox stepped into Zooey Deschanel’s shoes quite confidently.

    WHA?!?! Bob Day is getting married in Portland, Oregon on this week's #newgirl

    A photo posted by Zooey Deschanel (@zooeydeschanel) on

    In fact, it was that confidence that seemed to win many a new fan.

    New Girl creator Liz Meriwether said of Megan Fox, “Yeah, she’s great. We’re really lucky to have her. There’s something about her in this character that felt sort of new for her, and then there’s something about this character on the show that felt good for us, this confident, tough-talking woman coming in to see through the guys’ bulls**t.”

    She added, “We do a lot of anxious, neurotic-people comedy, so it was nice to have this character who wasn’t going through all of those things.”

    Zooey Deschanel as Jess is absolutely the picture of the anxious and neurotic, and we’ll miss her until she’s back. But, Megan Fox is a great addition to the show for now!

    What did you think about Megan Fox replacing Zooey Deschanel while she’s on maternity leave?

  • Jessica Chastain Takes Role In Sitting Bull Movie

    Jessica Chastain has confirmed that she is taking the lead in an interesting film aptly titled Woman Walks Ahead.

    Jessica Chastain will play New York activist, Caroline Weldon, who worked with the famed Sitting Bull as a translator in 1889 until his death.

    It will undoubtedly showcase Jessica Chastain‘s uncanny talent for period roles.

    But, that’s not the only thing that The Martian and Crimson Peak star has on her plate right now.

    Jessica Chastain is also working on Xavier Dolan’s first English-language film, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.

  • Ashley Graham Realizes Dream As Sports Illustrated “Rookie”, Hates “Plus-Size” Label

    Ashley Graham realized a dream of hers on Tuesday when it was announced that she was selected as one of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Rookies.

    Ashley Graham, a plus-size model that appeared in an ad in last year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, couldn’t be any happier with how far she has brought body image perceptions.

    So far, Ashley Graham has starred as the face for Addition Elle’s latest sportswear collection, NYDJ’s Fit to Be campaign, and swimsuitsforall‘s new #SwimSexy campaign, among others.

    #SwimSexy will be also be featured in Sports Illustrated 2016 Swimsuit issue. Ashley Graham is also the face of Lane Bryant’s latest campaign, #ThisBody.

    But it seems Ashley Graham, while she is widely known as a plus-size model, doesn’t really like the label.

    She said, “I hate the word ‘real woman’ and I hate the word ‘plus-size’.”

    She added, “I’ve got plenty of friends [of all sizes] and different shapes and everything and I don’t want any of them to feel like they aren’t ‘real women.’”

    Confidence is my golden rule. Have you seen my new #SwimSexy campaign with @swimsuitsforall in @SI_Swimsuit?

    Ashley Graham does understand “that a lot of women still love this word” and the culture of inclusion that is growing.

    She added, “I totally respect that, but for someone like me, I don’t feel the connection to the word ‘plus-sized’.”

    What do you think? Do you feel like Ashley Graham does about the term “plus-size”?

  • Hannah Simone: Shower Scene With Megan Fox Not As Hot As It Looked

    Hannah Simone opened up to Us Weekly about the absence of Zooey Deschanel on the set of New Girl and what it’s like to work with Megan Fox.

    For one thing, Hannah Simone says yes, the shower scene was for real, but not real sexy.

    She said, “It was cold! It was cold and wet, and we were wearing barely anything.”

    She added, “We really were in the shower, and they really were dumping buckets and buckets and buckets of water on us, and we were just trying to hold on and get through it … I lived out every heterosexual man’s dream.”

    Hannah Simone also admitted that, as far as her onscreen best friend Zooey Deschanel goes, it’s just not the same without her. But, she understands that Zooey having a baby is amazing for the whole cast.

    Happy birthday to my partner in crime for the past five years, the crazy talented @zooeydeschanel xo #happybdayma

    She said, “It’s always strange if one of us isn’t there, but she was off having a beautiful baby, so we’re all super happy for her, and we’re so excited to welcome her back.”

    The return of New Girl happened Tuesday and it looks to be just as good as the previous seasons.

    Hannah Simone revealed something about her and Schmidt’s relationship, saying now that they are together, they can settle into being just a weird couple.

    So fun. Did you watch Hannah Simone in action last night? What did you think?

  • Andrea Barber And Crew Premiere “Fuller House” Trailer On “Ellen”

    Andrea Barber is back and better than ever as Kimmy Gibbler on Fuller House, the Full House sequel.

    Fuller House stars all original cast members, except Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and all of them look amazing. But, Andrea Barber is so very entertaining as a grown-up Kimmy.

    Kimmy (Andrea Barber) and Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) volunteer to move in to the iconic house with newly-single D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) to help raise her three boys.

    Andrea Barber is hilarious in a scene wherein Sweetin proclaims that Kimmy is “stuck in the 90’s.”

    If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out:

    https://youtu.be/CXuGLswn2l0

    Of course, Andrea Barber, Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure make reference to Michelle in the trailer, but we all know the Olsen twins do not appear in Fuller House.

    So, Ellen asked the question that was on all of our minds, saying, “Do you think the Olsen twins will make a guest appearance? I’m sure everybody is asking that already because they’re not a part of this, but do you think they’ll stop in?”

    To which Candace Cameron Bure replied, “I don’t know. The door’s open if they want to.”

    Andrea Barber added, “Yeah the door’s always open.”

    Cameron Bure kicked back in, “We make reference to them on the show though so they are not forgotten. We talk about them.”

    Jodie Sweetin concluded, “Yeah we definitely acknowledge Michelle being, you know. Present.”

    Perhaps the Olsen twins are just too busy to join Andrea Barber and Candace Cameron Bure on the show, but it sure seems they are missing out on something special.

    What do you think? Are you excited to see Andrea Barber in action as Kimmy Gibbler again?

  • Ashley Benson, At Size Two, Told To Lose Weight For Roles

    Ashley Benson, At Size Two, Told To Lose Weight For Roles

    Ashley Benson, one of the gorgeous stars of Pretty Little Liars, opened up to Health about some body image issues that even she has faced in the grand world of Hollywood.

    Everyone knows that Hollywood and media have a sickeningly unrealistic idea of what women should look like. But, Ashley Benson, at a size two, knows firsthand.

    She said, “I get told all the time to lose weight. I got that a month ago. It’s just weird. With my stuff recently, it’s been, ‘You have to be skin and bones or you’re not getting it.’”

    She added, “There was a point where it was getting to where a size two was great. I’m a size two, but I think that a size four is healthy. I think that all of these sizes are healthy.”

    Ashley Benson doesn’t feel the pressure to fit a certain mold and she doesn’t want to be involved romantically with a guy who does cave to that pressure.

    Ashley Benson said of her ideal man, “He has to make me laugh, 100 percent. Be respectful. Personality is key. Likes to travel, and… I don’t really like guys who work out.”

    When pressed on the supposition that she is into flabby guys, she clarified, “Like, there are guys who work out, and there are guys who work out, in the mirror every day, with protein shakes and ‘I’m at the gym for 12 hours.’”

    She added, “I don’t like big guys like that. I like skinnier guys. If there’s a guy who’s super in shape, out the door! Making me laugh is number one. And being adventurous, because I love to just do things last-minute.”

    What do you think about the pressure on actresses to be skin and bones in order to be of any value in Hollywood?

  • Kristen Bell Will Return As Voice For Anna In “Frozen” Holiday Special

    Kristen Bell will be back as Anna in a Frozen holiday special that will reportedly air in 2017.

    The new holiday special will feature all of the original voice actors from Frozen including Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Idina Menzel.

    The holiday special will be banking on the monumental success Frozen has enjoyed, and to a lesser extent, shorter film Frozen Fever.

    Frozen made mainstream stars of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel when it became the highest grossing animated movie ever made.

    Part of that astounding success was box office, with $1.28 billion in record-setting ticket sales. The other part was Elsa and Anna being plastered on everything with a surface since before the movie’s release.

    The movie also spawned a hugely popular soundtrack featuring the film’s stars, Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel.

    Of course, the holiday special won’t be the only format in which those in charge will bring Frozen back to the demanding masses.

    There is also news of a Broadway show.

    The Broadway show will not see an opening curtain until 2018, but Frozen will no doubt still be big two years from now.

    That show sounds amazing, but there’s no word yet on whether Idina Menzel or Kristen Bell will reprise their roles onstage.

    What do you think? Would you love to see Kristen Bell live onstage as Anna?

  • Miranda Kerr Shares #WCW Post About Selena Gomez

    Miranda Kerr has a new crush, and it’s Selena Gomez.

    Miranda Kerr seemed to admire Selena Gomez’s photo shoot for W magazine, showing Gomez in an orange bikini top with cream bottoms and a knit cover.

    Of course, Miranda Kerr and Selena Gomez have shared girl time before, like at the UNICEF event last month promoting Louis Vuitton’s #makeapromise campaign.

    Miranda Kerr and Selena Gomez seem to get along swimmingly and it’s a great thing.

    It’s interesting, this friendship, since Miranda Kerr had a brief romance with Selena’s infamous ex, Justin Bieber, and Selena was rumored to have a quick thing with Orlando Bloom.

    Perhaps the headlines about her woman crush are helping Miranda Kerr deal with the even louder coverage of Orlando Bloom’s budding relationship with Katy Perry.

    See you all soon at the @koraorganics pop up store in Westfield Kotara at 2:30pm!

    Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr’s ex-husband, was spotted with Katy Perry over the weekend attending a kid’s birthday party. The two of them were reportedly having a great time with Flynn, the son Bloom shares with Miranda Kerr.

    A source who witnessed the event disclosed, “They attended a kids’ birthday party at Robert Downey Jr.’s house with Orlando’s son, Flynn. Katy even sat in the back of the car with Flynn when Orlando drove them to the party.”

    The source added, “They were laughing, playing music and joking around with Flynn. They stayed at the party for hours. Katy looked very comfortable at the kids party. She seemed very happy to spend the day with Orlando.”

    What do you think of Miranda Kerr’s friendship with Selena Gomez?

  • Sarah Silverman To Kanye West: “You Can’t Be For Real”

    Sarah Silverman has publically called out Kanye West on his weird Twitter post declaring Bill Cosby innocent of rape charges.

    Joining a chorus of fans wondering if Kanye has finally lost it, Sarah Silverman wrote, “Kanye!! You can’t be for real. FIFTY WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy.”

    Oy, indeed.

    Sarah Silverman was just as shocked as Kanye’s slew of Twitter followers, who were all likely used to seeing oddball tweets from Kanye on a regular basis.

    I mean, the man is free to tweet what he wants. This is the land of the free, after all. But, Sarah Silverman has a great point here.

    I know, I don't know what I was thinking. It's so much better over a hoodie

    Speaking of weird posts:

    Kanye was referencing the trial that was dismissed on Tuesday. The trial put Bill Cosby’s lawyer, Martin Singer, against Janice Dickinson, one of the many women who have accused Cosby of rape or sexual assault.

    Martin Singer publicly denied Dickinson’s allegations that the comedian had drugged and raped her in 1982.

    Sarah Silverman is just one of the women who have bashed Kanye since his weird post.

  • Jessica Williams Responds To Critics Of Beyonce’s Political Half-Time Performance

    Jessica Williams, who was on The Daily Show Monday to talk about Beyonce‘s infamous Super Bowl half-time performance, slammed critics who were offended by Beyonce’s political stance.

    During her segment on the show Jessica Williams poked fun at critics, especially Fox News personalities like Rudy Giuliani and Stuart Varney who wondered if race has to be brought in to every single facet of American life.

    Jessica Williams said, “Race was brought in because Beyonce was brought in. And brace yourself, because you might want to sit down for this, but Beyonce is black.”

    She explained, “As a black person, you walk around everyday constantly reminded that you are black. We’re more likely to get paid less, we’re more likely to get sent to prison…”

    However, critics of Beyonce and likely many viewers wondered why their couldn’t just be good, “wholesome” entertainment when the game was targeted at Middle America, instead of a blatant stand for the Black Panthers and the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Jessica Williams said, “What are they, so delicate and unaware, and maybe so white, that Beyonce is too much for them?”

    Jessica Williams was quick to point out that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin made a political statement with his yellow arm band.

    Chris Martin’s arm band was in honor of a child who died from a rare cancer and to raise awareness of childhood cancer. Not really a political statement excluding all races but one. But, whatever.

    Do you agree with Jessica Williams’ statements?

  • Danielle Panabaker Talks New Role As Killer Frost

    Danielle Panabaker has garnered many a fan of her sweet and selfless character, Caitlin Snow, on The Flash.

    On The Flash, Danielle Panabaker enjoys a certain safety to her role as everyone’s pseudo-mother, worried about everyone’s well-being.

    Danielle Panabaker, as Caitlin, has also enjoyed a newly slow-budding romance with Jay Garrick.

    But now, Danielle Panabaker has taken on the role of Killer Frost and all bets are off on Earth 2 as she terrorizes in a partnership with Earth 2’s Ronnie, who is now Deathstorm.

    Killer Frost! Tomorrow on @cwtheflash – you don't wanna miss it! #theflash #killerfrost

    Danielle Panabaker seems to welcome the break from sweet, concerned Caitlin.

    She said of her new role, “They’re Earth 2’s Bonnie and Clyde. They like to terrorize people as much as they can and they have a passion [for it]. One of Killer Frost’s powers is that she kisses men when she kills them. Her lips freeze them and the only man for her is Deathstorm because he’s on fire, so it’s a relationship that was meant to be.”

    Killer Frost! Deathstorm! I almost can't believe it – get ready cuz we're going to Earth 2 next week on @cwtheflash

    Of course, Danielle Panabaker’s Killer Frost has her heart set on The Flash, but not to protect or care for him.

    Panabaker said, “I think Earth 2 is a little bit different from Earth 1 in that you know, Killer Frost is a metahuman and she’s a little bit more used to seeing them. I think she is excited to see a different Flash and can’t wait to take him on — and hopefully kill him. I think that’s her passion.”

    About that costume? Danielle Panabaker revealed that it took a while to get just the right look for Killer Frost. Killer Frost didn’t always sport that long hair and those blue lips.

    Danielle Panabaker admitted, “There was a whole look that was scrapped. The wig actually started as a really short pixie, and then it just evolved. We must have done about a dozen tests to find the right makeup look.”

    She added, “There was some concern over the blue lips in the beginning because at some point there were a couple of people who felt like her lips should be whited out. But I’m really pale, so if you white-out my lips, you can’t see anything.”

  • Bernie Madoff: New Documentary Series Opens Old Wounds

    Bernie Madoff is known as one of history’s most heartless fraudsters.

    During the mid-2000’s, Bernie Madoff ran the world’s largest Ponzi scheme and ruined the lives and livelihoods of many families.

    Now, there is a new miniseries on ABC that debuted this week and chronicles the life and scheme of Bernie Madoff.

    While the show is purely for entertainment, one San Diego resident and Bernie Madoff victim is not thrilled about the miniseries.

    Ernie Abbit, who is now 86, was a victim of Bernie Madoff, but was lucky enough to pull out of the venture before things got too bad.

    He said, “I sort of resent it in a way because I think we’ve glamorizing the situation. He was a parasite of the worst kind. To live through that again and again, it’s punishment and it’s gonna be a tough pill to swallow.”

    No word yet on whether Bernie Madoff’s wife, Ruth, will be watching the program, but it will surely bring back bad memories for her as well.

    Blythe Danner, who plays Bernie Madoff‘s (Richard Dreyfuss) wife in the miniseries, said of Ruth, “I don’t think that she knew. She’d been with this man and in love with him since she was 16 — her entire life. And incrementally, she saw this climb to the top financially where they were. If there were any suspicions at all, it was just her life was so full and so I didn’t think she questioned it.”

    What do you think it will be like for victims of Bernie Madoff to watch this ABC miniseries?
