“The Batman” Broke A Pandemic Box Office Record This Weekend
The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson as RBattz and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, opened this past weekend, and because of its opening box office numbers, Warner Bros. is a little richer today. The Batman ended up breaking a couple of pandemic box office records. Unfortunately, not the record for how many Batman movies is too many Batman movies (besides, the answer to that is: whatever number we were at after the release of 1997’s stupid masterpiece Batman & Robin).
Open Post: Hosted By The $240 Invoice That A Newlywed Couple Sent Out To Their No-Show Wedding Guests
Two weeks ago, Chicago couple Doug Simmons, 44, and Dedra McGee (now Simmons), 43, flew down to Jamaica and got married at the Royalton Negril Resort & Spa. Over a hundred guests attended, but over a hundred and eight guests said they’d come. That’s right, four invited guests and their plus ones were no-shows. I mean, I somewhat get it. Destination weddings cost an arm and a leg to attend, and I’m not sure I’d wanna be jumping on a plane during a pandemic. However, not showing up at the last minute after RSVPing multiple times is indeed rude. But what can the newlyweds do? Shrug it off and hold a simmering grudge the rest of their lives, right? WRONG. The New York Post says that Doug took action and made the bold choice and created an invoice to send to no-show guests (and it’s due exactly one month after the date of the wedding they missed). Watch out Tom and Lori, there’s a new Petty in town!
Bill And Melinda Gates Don’t Have A Prenup
Yesterday we were hit with the news that it was about to be a Hot Billionaire Boy Summer for Bill Gates, who was splitting from his wife of 27 years, Melinda Gates. They both posted statements announcing that they were ending their marriage and that it was a decision they came to after a lot of work and a great deal of thought. Their match made at Microsoft marriage might be over, but the drama might have just begun! Because People got their hands on Melinda’s divorce documents, and they never signed a prenup when they got married back in 1994.
Daniel Craig Could Be Making $100 Million For The “Knives Out” Sequels
Because pretty much everybody loved Knives Out, Netflix decided to cut a big fat check to Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman for two sequels. It’s been reported that Netflix has agreed to fork over at least $400 million for the Knives Out sequels, with some people estimating the final amount will actually be closer to $450 million. Well, for those at home who have been known to get excited about accounting and numbers, here’s another one: $100 million of Netflix’s offer is allegedly going towards Daniel Craig’s salary.
Ellen DeGeneres Signed A Multi-Year Deal With The Discovery Channel And Discovery+
There have been persistent rumors and not-very-subtle implications that Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime TV show Ellen isn’t exactly doing great, ratings-wise. Which has got to be scary for Ellen, because – oh no! – what will Ellen do if she’s not on TV, lobbing softball questions at the likes of various Kardashians and Jenners? She’d practically be first in line to the poor house, with her hand outstretched, clutching a small tin can, appealing to the benevolence of passers-by, begging: “Alms, alms for the Portia de Rossi.” That’s surely what would happen if it were not for the generous souls at Discovery, who just provided Ellen with the safety net of a lifetime by signing her to a multi-year contract with the Discovery Channel and their streaming platform, Discovery+.
Nicki Minaj Has Agreed To Pay Tracy Chapman For Sampling Her Music
Tracy Chapman lives a general very quiet existence, but in 2018, she got several headlines and months’ worth of front-page attention when she decided to sue Nicki Minaj for sampling her song, “Baby Can I Hold You” without permission. Well, that messiness is now behind both of them (watch out back there). Nicki has finally agreed to pay Tracy some money for the use of the sample.
