Fyre Co-founder Ja Rule Says He Was An Innocent Victim Of The Fyre Festival Fiasco
Ja Rule and Shaggy are going to go on tour together and I’ve got tickets to sell you! $500 gets you the full VIP experience, only Shaggy’s going to drop out the night before, and the concert is just Ja Rule standing on a rickety stage lip-syncing It Wasn’t Me for his life. That’s kind of what’s happening in the wake of the twin Fyre Festival documentaries, Fyre Fraud and Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened that aired on Hulu and Netflix respectively over the weekend.
Dick Van Dyke Shut Down Piers Morgan With A Single Look
Do not come for Dick Van Dyke. Piers Morgan learned that lesson the hard way when he #tooktotwitter in an attempt to mock the 92-year-old legend, and now he’s dead. Dick killed him with a single look. Piers took a lame stab at a joke that Dick has probably heard no fewer than 8 million times (that’s roughly the same number of people who would be willing to sign a petition to have Piers replaced on Good Morning Britain) but gave it his own repugnant spin. Dick responded with a photo of himself giving the same expression most everybody makes when the hear the name Piers Morgan.
The “Shrek” Writer Who Compared “Anti-Vax” With The N-Word Has Apologized
Terry Rossio, that dude who wrote Shrek, could have just sat there and ate his rice, but he didn’t. Instead, he mounted his metaphoric steed and #tooktotwitter to metaphorically go to battle for literal anti-vaxxers claiming that the term “anti-vax” is as harmful and offensive as the n-word. Unsurprisingly, this comparison was met with derision and disgust, especially since he oh-so-boldly just went ahead and wrote out “nigger” in its entirety. You would think a person who writes for a living would have a better understanding about how words and language work, but nah. But don’t worry, Terry says he now understands that that word has “no place in any conversation, ever”. So while he still thinks the eradication of polio is a bad idea, he has learned “something”.
Rebel Wilson Has Been Blocking Her Critics On Twitter
Rebel Wilson has done such a bad job managing her latest publicity crisis that’s she’s inspired her own hashtag on Twitter. If you can’t post to #RebelWilsonBlockedMe, are you even trying? Rebel’s troubles began when she appeared on the Halloween episode of Ellen. She was there to talk about her upcoming romantic comedy Isn’t It Romantic . Rebel excitedly noted that she was “first plus-size woman’ to play the lead in a romantic comedy”, which is not true.
Even though Rebel has been known to tell a fib or two, I wouldn’t call that a straight-up lie, maybe it was more of an oversight. Quite a few folks on Twitter, many of them black women and women of color, kindly reminded Rebel that Queen Latifah, Mo’nique and Ricki Lake had all been in rom-coms before her. And here’s where Rebel could have said, “point taken, I misspoke” but that’s not how Rebel rolls. Instead she doubled-down, and got to blocking the haters/information sharers.
Al Roker Defended Himself Against Cries Of Hypocrisy For His “Today” Costume
As we saw yesterday, the Today show team dressed in an 80s theme with Al Roker donning a Dollar Store fright wig to portray Doc Brown (of the irony) from Back To The Future. Because we’re living in the upside down where grown men and women pretend to be dumber than a box of rocks (or in some cases just are), some folks cried that Al’s costume was racist. Le sigh. Yes, we are really still doing this. In response to the online criticism, Al #tooktotwitter to defend his right to play a character who was played by a white man in a movie about a time traveling car that runs on garbage.
Balthazar Getty #tooktotwitter To Defend Farrah Abraham Against Vivica A. Fox And Some Lady Named “Scary Mary”
Hold onto your hats folks, I’m about to go drop some proper Dlisted dynamite on that ass. This story features not 1, not 2, but 3 “celebrities” who are out here #inthesestreets punching and scratching their way to the lower-middle. Or upper-bottom. Ok, middle-bottom. Balthazar Getty worked himself into quite a tizzy and #tooktotwitter to rush to the defense of Farrah Abraham who appeared on Vivica A. Fox’s new talk show called Face The Truth. Were drugs involved? Yes they were. Is one of the participants a middle aged DJ/Rapper? Yes they are. Did somebody get called a C-U-NEXTTUESDAY? Abso-fucking-lutely.
