Zoë Kravitz Again Mentions How She Was Told She Was Too “Urban” To Audition For “The Dark Knight Rises” (UPDATE)
Zoë Kravitz is currently starring as Catwoman in Matt Reeves‘The Batman, and she could’ve been part of the Batman-verse years ago. Because back when The Dark Knight Rises was being made a decade ago, Zoë tried to audition for a role. However, she was told no. Why? Because according to some racists casting people, Zoë was too “urban.” And as we know, the only “urban” casting people like is Urban Outfitters.
Morgan Wallen May Not Have Actually Donated $500,000 To Black Causes, As He Promised
Morgan Wallen may have lied about donating a lot of money to Black causes after his n-word controversy, as Rolling Stone did an investigation into his claim and found that the math was not mathing. One organization roasted his post-n-word racial efforts, and called Morgan’s number “exceptionally misleading.” Well, maybe Morgan is as good with numbers as he is with racial issues?
Morgan Wallen Says He Used The N-Word In A “Playful” Manner, TEE-HEE!
Morgan Wallen is the 28-year-old country singer who got booted from Saturday Night Live because he was a Covidiot and then got booted from everything else because he got caught slinging the N-word casually with his friends. Morgan is now in damage control mode and during an interview with Michael Strahan for Good Morning America, he talked about how he’s learned so much and what the N-word means to him, or whatever. He explained his use of the word as “playful.” So I think we all can expect his next album to be called Playful Racism: An Apology to Black People.
Dr. Tiffany Moon Might Be Leaving “The Real Housewives Of Dallas” After One Season
Last year The Real Housewives of Dallas cast Dr. Tiffany Moon, a rich, glamorous Chinese-American anesthesiologist (no, I can’t spell that word… yes, i had to paste directly from Google). Tiffany joined in 2020 when Bravo was trying to add more diversity to their Housewives. New York cast their first Black cast member, Eboni K. Williams and Beverly Hills cast their first Asian-American cast member, Crystal Kung-Minkoff. It remains to be seen how Eboni and Crystal will fare, but now that this season of Dallas has wrapped up, here is how it went for Tiffany: not great.
Tiffany is a fan-favorite, but the other Housewives, who are all white except for Mexican-American Kary Brittingham, did not give her an easy time. One might say they were… fucking racist bullies (except for D’Andra Simmons)? And now there’s a rumor going around that Tiffany will not return for the sixth season of the show.
Vivica A. Fox Says That Ivanka Trump Gave Her A Problematic Compliment On “The Celebrity Apprentice”
Probably one of the most memorable interactions from season 14 of The Celebrity Apprentice season was the boardroom (and post-boardroom) fight between Vivica A. Fox and Kenya Moore, which started with Kenya suggesting Vivica was moody due to menopause and ended with Vivica delivering lines like “A toxic trick” and “Baby, I’m an international star” as Kenya packed her things and left. That might be what immediately springs to mind when you or I think of Vivica’s time on The Celebrity Apprentice, but there’s another boardroom conversation that has stuck with her. And it’s courtesy of Ivanka Trump. According to Vivica, Ivanka held true to her awful family’s well-established tradition of saying the kind of problematic, backhanded shit that makes people go, “That’s not a compliment, asshole.”
Thandiwe Newton Is Reclaiming The Correct Spelling Of Her Name
Thandie Newton is Thandie no more. In a new interview with British Vogue, she declares herself Thandiwe Newton, which is the correct spelling of her name. Thandiwe says, “That’s my name. It’s always been my name. I’m taking back what’s mine.” Thandiwe means “beloved” in Shona, a Bantu language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Thandiwe’s mother is the granddaughter of a Shona chief, which makes her, Thandiwe, and her daughters all Zimbabwean princesses. Continue reading
