A CLASSIC ROCKER FINDS OUT HE HAS A LOVE CHILD FROM THE 80’s, some insane Movies announced and A wild list of celebrities and how they caught their significant others cheating… it’s like celebs are just like us guys!
CRAP ON FRIDAY
Rick Moranis has been gone way too long. Even those new "Ghostbusters" movies didn't lure him back to Hollywood. But I am quite excited to announce that he WILL return to once again play Dark Helmet in "Spaceballs 2"!!! Bill Pullman will return as the hero Lone Starr, too. And Mel Brooks will be back as Yogurt . . . and, presumably . . . President Skroob. (He played both characters in the original.) Josh Gad co-wrote the script, and he's expected to be in it, too. Pullman's son Lewis Pullman has also been cast, along with Keke Palmer . . . but there's no word who they're playing. There's also no word on any other returning cast members. Obviously, John Candy, Joan Rivers, and Dick Van Patten won't be back, since they're no longer with us.
Mel released the first teaser yesterday. There's no footage, since filming hasn't begun yet.
It starts with a text crawl that makes fun of all the "Star Wars" prequels, sequels, sequels to the prequels, prequels to the sequels, and TV spin-offs.
Then it lists all the "Dune", "Jurassic Park", "Avatar", and Marvel movies, plus DC's TWO attempts to start a cinematic universe . . . and just about every other overdone franchise you can name.
Then, after a quick appearance from Mel, we get a shot of Rick Moranis' cracked helmet, and the tagline: "The Schwartz Awakens in 2027." Which sounds like a possible title but it’s spaceballs and mel brooks so it could be anything. Here is Mel making his announcement.
Jerry Seinfeld Proposes ‘Live-Action Sequel' to 'Bee Movie'
- Jerry Seinfeld has people buzzin' with this idea!
- The comedic genius posted about the possibility of a “live-action sequel” to his 2007 animated hit Bee Movie.
- “Bee Movie, which came out nearly 20 years ago, is #4 on Netflix,” he wrote on Instagram showing a hand holding a tennis ball with a honey bee on it.
- The next slide was the movie’s poster, an image of Seinfeld’s character Barry B. Benson similarly straddling a tennis ball.
- “Today, my friend Spike Feresten, one of the writers on the film, was playing tennis and this happened."
- He continued, “Clearly a sign. Time for a live-action sequel..?"
- DreamWorks’ Bee Movie, which Seinfeld produced, co-wrote, and starred in along with Renée Zellweger, has become a cult favorite since its release.
- Bee Movie also featured the voices of Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, Megan Mullally, Oprah Winfrey, and several celebrities appearing as animated versions of themselves, including Larry King, Ray Liotta, and Sting.
- Saint Louis’ own Nelly and Ashanti are putting their lives on TV for all to see.
- They announced an upcoming reality show called Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.
- A show synopsis says Nelly and Ashanti "rekindle their love, navigate the ups and downs of being newlyweds and new parents, and juggle their careers."
- The eight-episode series will air on Peacock starting June 26th.
A DNA Test Connects Billy Idol To A Son He Didn't Know He Had
- Details on the lovechild Billy Idol didn't know he had until a few years ago have surfaced.
- Idol's daughter, Bonnie, shared in the new doc, 'Billy Idol Should Be Dead', "My husband just surprised me with a DNA test as a Christmas present [a few years ago]. Then a few weeks later, I get the results back on the app and open it and I’m like, who is this? This Brant. His info reads, 'New York, 1985, looking for my biological dad.' I was like, ‘What?’"
- Brant, Idol's lovechild, grew up believing his dad was someone else until a different DNA questioned his mother's claims about his father. After confronting his mom, she told Brant, "Well, it’s pretty crazy, but back in the day, we broke up and I actually spent a weekend with Billy Idol."
- Fans have done the math and calculate that Brant was conceived during Idol's wildly successful 1984 'Rebel Yell' tour.
- Idol has whole-heartedly accepted Brant as family, saying, "I really enjoyed being a dad. I always wanted a boy and a girl, and I finagled my way into a boy and a girl. I actually had a son that I didn’t realize, who I fathered on the Rebel Yell tour without knowing it. So I somehow finagled this as well."
- Brant was at Idol's Walk of Fame ceremony back in 2023.
Prime Video Will Soon Show Double The Ads
- Amazon Prime Video is about to double the number of commercials shown per hour on its ad-supported membership level.
- An Adweek report got the news from an Amazon spokesperson about the amount of commercials going to "four to six minutes per hour" from the two to three minutes that Prime users are used to.
- In 2024, subscribers who had ad-free access were forced to pay an extra $3 a month to maintain the status.
Jay-Z Loses $1 Million NBA Finals Bet
- Jay-Z is out $1 million after losing a bet on the NBA Finals.
- Jay placed a bet prior to the series, banking on the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the championship in five games.
- After Wednesday night's Thunder loss to the Indiana Pacers, OKC can't win the series unless they do it in six or seven games.
- Jay-Z would have won $3.5 million if the bet had cashed in.
- With a net worth of $2.5 billion, we're sure Jay-Z will be alright.
Ok you guys remember Spinal Tap? The Album cover debate with the label and why it became an all black cover or as Nigel would say NONE MORE BLACK? It was because the original had a woman on all fours with a dog leash on and it was deemed sexist…. To which Nigel replies “Whats wrong with being sexy?
Well get this, Sabrina Carpenter announced her new album yesterday, and it's causing a lot of controversy.
It's called "Man's Best Friend", and the cover has Sabrina on all fours, in front of a man who's pulling a handful of her hair.
A women's advocacy group in Scotland called it "regressive", saying it reduces women to, quote, "pets, props, and possessions," and promotes "an element of violence and control."
Sabrina's fans are defending it as SATIRE, and a commentary on how badly women are treated. And some are pointing out that the first single, "Manchild", actually makes FUN of men. HERE IS A CLIP OF THAT
Meanwhile, in the new "Rolling Stone" cover story, Sabrina talks about being criticized for the sexual imagery in her stage show.
She says, quote "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it."
She adds, quote, "I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now."
Pope Leo isn't even the most famous guy in his family. The "New York Times" researched his family tree, and found out that he's related to a bunch of celebrities.
The link is an ancestor from about six generations back. He name was Louis Boucher de Grandpre, and he was born in Quebec.
And because of him, Leo is distant cousins with Justin Bieber, Justin Trudeau, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Jack Kerouac, and Madonna.
It's interesting that Leo would be related to Madonna, given that the Catholic Church has condemned her several times . . . most famously when she released her "Like a Prayer" video in 1989.
A few years ago, Madonna reached out to Pope Francis, asking to meet with him to discuss "important matters." She told him, quote, "I've been ex-communicated 3 times. It doesn't seem fair."
If you've ever wondered how the creators of "Friends" came up with the character of Joey Tribbiani . . . we might just have the answer this morning.
Joey Lawrence claims Matt LeBlanc's character was based on HIS character Joey Russo from "Blossom".
Lawrence says, quote, "Joey Russo was so successful that when they were creating 'Friends', they wanted a 25-year-old version of that."
Supposedly, Matt's character wasn't even originally called Joey, but they changed it because the "Blossom" character was so successful.
Joey even claims that Matt was sent to tapings of "Blossom" where he would, quote, "sit up in the audience with a yellow notepad and take notes on how I portrayed Joey Russo."
He says they wanted Matt to bring the "innocence" of Joey Russo to Joey Tribbiani, so the character could, quote, "get away with his womanizing."
I guess the Grammys were sick of hearing about whether Beyoncé deserved to win Best Country Album for "Cowboy Carter". So, they just announced a major change.
For next year's Grammys, the award formally known as Best Country Album will now be called Best Contemporary Country Album . . . and they will also be adding a new category: Best Traditional Country Album.
There's a lot to unpack here. And one year after Beyoncé wins makes the timing of this all the more clickbait-y.
According to the Grammy website, "traditional country music", quote, "adheres to the more traditional sound structures of the country genre, including rhythm and singing style, lyrical content, as well as traditional country instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, piano, and live drums."
Where "contemporary country music", quote, "remains reminiscent and relevant to the legacy of country music's culture, while also engaging in more contemporary music forms."
Someone tweeted, "Morgan Wallen and Post Malone better not be in the traditional country category at the Grammys, because in what world are they traditional country?"
Wait, hold up. When Morgan collaborated with Alvin and the Chipmunks, that wasn't traditional country??
New in Theaters: "How to Train Your Dragon", "Materialists", and "The Life of Chuck"
There's nothing like a good breakup story. Here are seven times a celebrity found out their partner was cheating in an unconventional way:
1. Demi Moore learned that Ashton Kutcher was having an affair in 2011, from a Google Alert. When she called him on it, he admitted it right away. Her response was, quote, "Are you [effing] kidding me?"
2. Britney Spears started dating lawyer David Lucado in 2012. But in 2014, her father found out there was paparazzi footage of David kissing another woman. He bought it to prevent it from being released, and Britney broke it off.
3. Kourtney Kardashian dumped Scott Disick in 2008, after finding texts on his phone from a contact called, quote, "my wife." They did the on-and-off thing until 2015, when photos emerged of Scott with another woman in France.
4. Elizabeth Hurley found out Hugh Grant was cheating on her in 1995, when he got arrested for GETTING IT ON with Sunset Boulevard prostitute Divine Brown in his car. They didn't break up until 2000, and they're still friends.
5. Laura Dern found out Billy Bob Thornton was being unfaithful when the news broke that he had ELOPED with Angelina Jolie in 2000. She was away making a movie, and she never saw it coming.
6. Eva Longoria's marriage to NBA star Tony Parker ended in 2010, after she found inappropriate texts with another woman on his phone.
7. This one's ancient history, but it was a HUGE tabloid story back in the day: In 1958, actress Debbie Reynolds was missing her husband, Eddie Fisher, because he was supposedly away on tour.
So she decided to give her friend Elizabeth Taylor a call . . . and who answered Liz's phone? Eddie FREAKIN' Fisher. (!!!)
Eddie left Debbie and married Liz, but that only lasted five years.
