Men Have Joined Women In Wearing Black In Protest At The Golden Globes
More than 30 women in Hollywood are reportedly planning on showing up to the 2018 Golden Globes in black as a silent protest against the industry’s history of rampant sexual harassment and assault. Rose McGowan wasn’t feeling that protest, so I can only imagine how she feels about this latest act of red carpet bravery. According to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinanti, several men will be joining in on the all-black silent protest too.
Are You Ready For President The Rock? Dwayne Johnson Makes His Intentions Known Again
During those first heady days of The Trump Presidency I made a joke on twitter that read:
Ready for a buddy movie starring @terrycrews & @TheRock as POTUS and VPOTUS that turns out to be real life when you walk out of the theater
That joke was dated November 20th, 2016. And it was, well a JOKE. Turns out the universe is very interested in my Twitter feed (but refuses to follow me despite repeated requests) because it has conspired to make my joke a reality. The Rock has talked about running for president, and has even made some moves . And he talked about it again on Ellen.
They’re Only Making Super-Hero Movies Now, Part 1: DC At Comic-Con
I’ll give em’ one thing, that’s a rad poster. San Diego Comic-Con happened. It should actually be called “San Diego Blockbuster Movie Tentpole Franchise Preview-Con” because it looks like actual comic books gave movie studios a whole bunch of material to work with and then left the building awhile ago. Do they even HAVE actual comics at SDCC? DC announced a whole mess of superhero movies coming down the pike (via Digital Spy). We’re talking YEARS of super-hero movies. And yet, still no Wonder Twins flick. For shame! Here’s the round-up. (For those of you who don’t care, I’m sure we’ll eventually have a non-geek post soon.) Continue reading
Open Post: Hosted By Dwayne Johnson And Tom Hanks Announcing Their Presidential Campaign
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hosted the Saturday Night Live season finale last night and announced he was running for president, as he threatened in GQ. He also brought out America’s Dad Tom Hanks and announced him as his running mate. I’m on board.
Right now, I’d stump for a facecloth, or a teacup poodle or an impacted molar for POTUS at this point. Literally, ANYTHING would be better than the “berzerker child” option with which America went. Check out The Rock’s monologue, below.
SNL also revisited their post-election cold open. This time, instead of Kate McKinnon covering Hillary Clinton covering Leonard Cohen, it was Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump and the rest of the cast as his administration and family (with a surprise cameo from Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka “Complicit” Trump). Here it is:

Wait, SNL’s done for the season? Where am I going to get my news? Will Anderson Cooper keep insulting the president’s lackeys on CNN? Can we get confirmation on that? That could be my sole news source now if he keeps being a shady lady to stupids.

America Could Very Well See A President Dwayne Johnson One Day
Back in June, The Washington Post published a piece about how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could win if he ran for President of the United States. The Rock let it be known he was flattered and that the thought of being President was “alluring,” but that it was kind of a far-away idea. Well, the allure of laying the smack down in the White House is apparently growing for The Rock.
The Rock And Vin Diesel Made Up, According To Vin Diesel
A lot of puffy pecs were reportedly in an uproar on the set of (I can barely type the awful name of this movie) The Fate Of The Furious last summer. The Rock vague-Instagrammed about someone being Public Asshole #1 on the set, and it was fairly obvious he was referencing fellow balding diva, Vin Diesel. Vin shot back by promising he would spill the tea on their roidy catfighting. That never really happened, but it doesn’t matter now, because it appears that both of them are past it.
