Leslie Jones Says No Designers Will Dress Her For The Ghostbusters Premiere

It was my understanding that being famous meant that people would be falling over their asses to give you free shit, like clothes and cars and jewelry and ostriches. I don’t know why a famous person would get a free ostrich, but that’s because I’m not famous. I don’t know how these free giveaways work! I’m a non-famous person who has to pay for stuff with my own money, like a chump. But once again I’m reminded that some famous people have a hard time getting free clothes if their waist is larger than the standard Hollywood sample size of “very very small.”

Leslie Jones, SNL person and one of the four women Ghostbusters in the all-lady Ghostbusters, recently spilled some hot truth on Twitter about preparing for the upcoming Ghostbusters premiere. According to Leslie, nobody wants to put their designer dresses on her body. Rude!

Melissa McCarthy Feels Bad For The “Ghostbusters” Remake Haters

Leave it to the internet to hate on things that are mostly a serving of “ok! That’s alright!” When you have people losing their minds over shit like babies singing Adele (No. Just no. Get out of here.), but you’d think Hitler had made the new all-female Ghostbusters based on the internet reaction to it. And now Melissa McCarthy is talking about the backlash.

Last time we checked in with the Ghostbusters hate, Allison gave us the 411 and let us know that according to the numbers on YouTube, the trailer is the most disliked trailer of all time as well as one of the top 25 most hated videos in YouTube history. Really though? This is one of the most hated but The Huntsman: Spring’s Flop isn’t? To be fair, even Melissa isn’t a fan of the trailer. But she’s a fan of the movie and feels bad for the haters. Speaking to The Guardian, she said:

All those comments – ‘You’re ruining my childhood!’ I mean, really. Four women doing any movie on earth will destroy your childhood? I have a visual of those people not having a Ben [her husband], not having friends, so they’re just sitting there and spewing hate into this fake world of the internet. I just hope they find a friend.

Melissa isn’t exactly taking the high road or being business savvy here by saying the haters are lonely trolls. She’s got a a movie to sell and money to make and she’s telling the haters to get a friend, a friend who will definitely be told to not see Ghostbusters. That’s just bad business. Really though, if there’s anything to be mad about it’s that 30 years later and Slimer still isn’t the star! Also, this is 2016 so I’m hoping Slimer finds love in the form of a super sexy lady Slimer. Or at least another hotel room service cart. Everyone deserves love, even slime glob ghosts!

Even Melissa McCarthy Didn’t Really Like The “Ghostbusters” Trailer

When the trailer for the all-lady Ghostbusters reboot was released two months ago, it made people feel a lot of feelings. For example, joy (seeing Kate McKinnon dressed up like Tank Girl), melancholy (remembering that we’re still waiting on the re-release of Hi-C Ecto Cooler) or horniness (all that sexy slime). But for the most part, it made people really angry. According to YouTube numbers, the Ghostbusters trailer is now the most-disliked movie trailer of all time, as well as one of the 25 most-hated videos in YouTube history. As of this afternoon, 700,560 people have clicked the thumbs-down button on the Ghostbusters trailer. Well, Ghostbusters star Melissa McCarthy has something to say about that, and…yeah, she pretty much agrees that it’s not a great trailer.

Melissa spoke to Johnjay and Rich of iHeart Radio (via Entertainment Weekly) on Monday, and she admitted that she had some questions about that trailer too. Melissa was asked to explain why the trailer opens with the words “30 years ago four scientists saved New York” if this new movie takes place in a world where the original Ghostbusters don’t exist. Melissa doesn’t know, you guys.

“It’s a reboot. I know, it’s weird that they said the ’30 years ago’ because in this movie, the first one didn’t happen…it’s the same thing of four unlikely heroes, it’s in New York City, ghosts are taking over. It’s that same classic story, but it’s not a ’30 years later.’ The trailer says 30 years later, which I didn’t quite get myself. Believe me, the question was asked. I was like, ‘I think that’s very confusing’, but then everyone said ‘We don’t care what you think’ (laughs).”

Oh no, this is how bad movies get made. One person raises their hand and nervously mumbles something about not making sense or being a disaster, and someone in charge hisses “Quiet, you” before going back to their happy place and mentally counting the millions they think they’ll make. Would it be better if it came from Slimer maybe? Slimer, stop eating trash for a second and raise your goddamn green hand. It’s not too late! They’re not done shooting yet. See? Here’s Melissa and Kristen Wiig filming Ghostbusters earlier this week.

The Trailer For The New “Ghostbusters” Movie Is Here

No, you’re not looking at the money shot from a food play porno sponsored by Key Lime Slime Twinkies. But I’m sure that exists somewhere if that’s the kind of thing that does it for your down-lows. The day that Ghostbusters fans have been waiting for/dreading (depending on what side of the Ghostbusters all-lady reboot argument you’re on) is finally here. Sony released the first official trailer for the new Ghostbusters movie starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones earlier today, and it truly has everything. Ghosts. Slime. Wigs. Chris Hemsworth kicking down a door in nerd glasses. A melancholy CGI Victorian ghost that I’m pretty sure is actually Rooney Mara trying her hand at some Andy Serkis-style motion capture.

Overall, I’m into it (Kate McKinnon dressed in Forever 21 Tank Girl drag sold it for me). But I do have two notes:

1. Where’s the ghost blowjob scene?!? Ghostbusters is nothing without a sexy ghost going down on a horny buster.

2. They updated a lot, but for some reason Slimer is still the same old Slimer? This is 2016 New York, not 1984 New York. There’s no way Slimer can still afford to live downtown. Unless Slimer found a way to get rich by injecting himself into the lips of Manhattan socialites, he’s definitely living with 18 strangers in Brooklyn.

I’m also a little shocked they didn’t extend the whole gender-reversal thing to the the surprised ghost in the Ghostbusters logo. Or maybe they did try it, but it ended up looking too much like the undead version of KFC’s sexy chicken nugget from Japan and they didn’t want to get sued.
