The New York Times Tried To Help Elizabeth Holmes Rehabilitate Her Image With A Profile
Elizabeth Holmes is headed to prison… soon. Maybe. Eventually. The Theranos fraudster was supposed to start serving her 11-year sentence on April 27, but she got it delayed with a last-minute appeal. Yesterday, The New York Times published a series of interviews with her entitled, “Liz Holmes Wants You to Forget About Elizabeth.” It’s the first time Elizabe- sorry, LIZ has spoken with the media since 2016, and Business Insider described the piece as an obvious attempt to rehabilitate her public image before she heads to the clink.
Open Post: Hosted By Jennifer Coolidge Shouting Out The Striking Writers At The MTV Movie & TV Awards
Even though Drew Barrymore dropped out of hosting last night’s MTV Movie & TV Awards in solidarity with the WGA writers’ strike, the show went on (in a pre-recorded virtual ceremony)! And what it lacked in host, it more than made up for in remote acceptance speeches from Jennifer Coolidge. She picked up two golden popcorn awards: the Comedic Genius Award and Most Frightened Performance (such an important honor) for The White Lotus. At the end of her first acceptance speech, Jennifer voiced her support for the striking writers and proved that her kooky bimbo persona is just an act by quoting Shakespeare.
Chris Pratt Dismissed His Haters By Comparing Himself To Jesus
For many, Chris Pratt has firmly cemented himself as The Worst Chris™ (movie edition; Chris Brown exists) for a wide array of offenses like bastardizing our beloved childhood characters, being a member of an anti-LGBTQ church, thanking his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger for their “healthy daughter” while also having a medically fragile son with his ex-wife Anna Faris, and railing against his “woke” critics. Though if you asked him, he’d still probably say it was only because he’s super vocal about loving him some Jesus. The never shutting up about that is undoubtedly part of it, and right on cue, he’s at it again by citing scripture and comparing his struggle with detractors to Jesus’.
Shemar Moore Is Calling Out CBS For Canceling His Show “S.W.A.T.” (UPDATE)
UPDATE: The power of Shemar Moore knows no bounds. Because CBS has taken back its cancelation of S.W.A.T., and the show will get a seventh and final season.
For the past thirty years, Shemar Moore has made a career out of being beautiful with a few moments of acting sprinkled in between. And since 2017, Shemar has been running, jumping, and rolling for a check on the popular CBS series S.W.A.T., where he is one of the few Black male actors leading an entire broadcast series. But unfortunately, Shemar must not have done enough bare-chested barrel rolls through pyrotechnics to ensure S.W.A.T. stays on the air since its sixth season will be its last. And Shemar has a few parting words before his show gets relegated to TNT reruns because he believes canceling S.W.A.T. is a big mistake.
Chris Brown May Have Gotten Into Another Altercation During Missy Elliott’s Lover’s And Friends Set (Though He Denies It)
On Friday, while everyone else was celebrating Cinco De Mayo, Chris Brown decided to turn his birthday weekend into a Slapsgiving extravaganza because we already know how he likes to pop off. And that’s what happened when he popped off on Usher and Teyana Taylor, which resulted in Usher’s make-up team cleaning his face better than a cadaver so he could diffuse the alleged situation. But that wasn’t enough for Chris. Apparently, the only way he knows how to celebrate anything is by inviting folks to an altercation, and the day after his time ruining Teyana and Usher’s evenings (at HIS OWN birthday party, mind you), Chris danced on over to Missy Elliott‘s Lovers & Friends set for another attempt of fisticuffs with someone else. But now, as the rage and whatever else finally exits his system, Chris is explaining exactly what was going on backstage during Missy’s set.
Britney Spears’ Book Is Allegedly Delayed Due To Legal Concerns Surrounding What She Might Reveal About Some Hollywood Stars
If you’ve been hunkering down underneath your desk in anticipation of Britney Spears’ upcoming “world-shaking” memoir/autobiography/whatever it’s classified as when someone else writes your life story for you, and you get to take credit for it, you can come out of hiding for a bit! It looks like the book’s release might not happen now until the very end of this year at the earliest because of legal concerns surrounding information two unnamed A-listers don’t want revealed. And as usual, when there’s some shiny new carrion below, Ryan Murphy has reportedly swooped in and hopes to work with Britney to create a tell-all show about her years under conservatorship.
