In The Wake Of Elon Musk’s $43 Million Twitter Purchase, Jameela Jamil Has Quit Twitter
Some famous and non-famous people heard the news that cringey billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter for $43 billion, and they responded by threatening to pack up their 140 characters and their expertly-edited profile pictures and quit Twitter for good. Some actually went ahead and followed through with their promise. Like Jameela Jamil, who will no longer be chiming in with her unsolicited two cents on everything on Twitter, because she’s officially done with the bird app.
Amy Schumer Says She Got Death Threats Over Her Seat Filler Bit With Kirsten Dunst At The Oscars
Just when you thought everyone was done talking about the 2022 Oscars, namely: Will Smith, and everything that went along with that (like the fact that Will can’t get jiggy with the Oscars for a whole ten years). But then Amy Schumer pops up and reminds us that she too had her own Oscar moment that apparently won’t die. And according to Amy, her little bit with Kirsten Dunst and her husband Jesse Plemons went over so poorly with the audience at home, that Amy became the target of major hate, including death threats.
Sam Elliott Is Very Sorry For His Criticism Of “The Power Of The Dog”
A little over a month ago, Sam Elliott and his deep tobacco-dipped voice appeared on an episode of WTF with Marc Maron where he dragged The Power of the Dog, the critically-acclaimed and Oscar-nominated western by Jane Campion. Sam, not a real cowboy, decided to represent real cowboys everywhere by claiming that the movie wasn’t authentic enough, while simultaneously applying some pretty heavy-handed homophobia by implying that the movie had too many shirtless cowboys running around and that the movie’s main character Phil (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) was throwing off too many gay vibes. Sam is now walking aaaaaall of that back, due to the backlash he received from some of his nearest and dearest in the gay community.
The Oscars Will Cut 8 Awards From The Live Telecast To Try To Boost Ratings
Last year, at the 2021 Academy Awards, a history-making moment happened in the Makeup and Hairstyling category, when for the first time ever two Black women won in that category (for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom). But if there was to be another significant win in that category this year, we’ll only hear about it after the fact. Because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has decided that the audience at home doesn’t need to see the winners of a whole eight categories, Makeup and Hairstyling being one of them, and they’re shuffling those eight award categories out of the broadcast lineup.
Whoopi Goldberg Has Been Suspended From “The View” For Two Weeks Over Her Holocaust Comments
Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1793) just rose up from his grave, wiped the cobwebs out of his eye sockets and said “now why am I in it?” Whoopi Goldberg pissed off a lot of people when she said the Holocaust wasn’t about race, rather it was about “man’s inhumanity to man.” Those are Bob’s words and he didn’t do shit but lie in the ground not bothering anybody for 300 years. According to Deadline, ABC announced they were suspending Whoopi for 2 weeks from The View for the “wrong and hurtful comments” she made, denying that race played a part in the Nazi Germany’s plan to annihilate an entire race of people. So now Whoopi has the added worry of yet another dusty ghost coming to haunt her ass on top of getting suspended. And according to Page Six, Whoopi may be looking at more than just a suspension.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Have “Addressed Concern” To Spotify Over COVID Misinformation, And Joe Rogan Has Commented On The Situation
It’s not exactly the greatest time to be a member of the Spotify customer service support team right now. Rock icon Neil Young decided he’d officially had enough of Joe Rogan’s unrestrained ability to spread COVID-19 misinformation on his podcast platform, so Neil requested that his music be pulled from the streaming site (Spotify obliged by pulling all of Neil’s solo work). The legendary Joni Mitchell followed Neil by protesting Spotify’s choice to promote “irresponsible people spreading lies” and had her music wiped from the platform as well. Well, Spotify recently found themselves squaring off against two more unhappy famous people that were pissed off enough to…contact Spotify with their complaints! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a multi-year podcast deal with Spotify, but they recently let it be known that they too have voiced their concern about the misinformation spread on the platform. And maybe enough people with legitimate credibility have spoken up because Spotify says they’ll be adding COVID warnings, while Joe Rogan has apologized to Spotify for the backlash.
