Denzel Washington Elaborates On Kissing A Man In Cut Moment From “Gladiator 2”

by

Denzel Washington provided some further context to his highly-publicized cut kiss from Gladiator II at the premiere of the film in Hollywood on Monday night. “It really is much ado about nothing,” Washington told Deadline at the event. “They’re making more of it than it was. I kissed him on his hands, I gave him a peck and I killed him.”

Washington originally broke the news of the kiss during a recent interview with Gaytey. “I actually kissed a man in the film but they took it out, they cut it, I think they got chicken. I kissed a guy full on the lips and I guess they weren’t ready for that yet, I killed him about five minutes later. It’s ‘Gladiator.’ It’s the kiss of death,” he told the outlet.

Director Ridley Scott denied Washington’s claim about the kiss being cut elsewhere on the red carpet. “No, that’s bullsh*t,” Scott told Deadline at the premiere. “They never did. They acted the moment — it didn’t happen.” In addition to the first Gladiator, Scott is best known for his other iconic films Alien, Blade Runner, American Gangster, Thelma & Louise, and more.

Charleston White Captures The Internet’s Attention By Acting Like Himself In New Movie

by

As many of you know, Charleston White is usually popping up on people’s social media feeds but not for the best reasons at times. Throughout his multi-media career, he’s been hyper critical of rappers and other online personalities. Sometimes, he takes things too far and it almost always gets him in hot water. However, despite his flaws, there are a lot of folks out there who find him quite comedic. That two-faced personality is why many still keep tabs on him to an extent because of his explosive behavior. This time, we are sharing a highlight of his, as Charleston White has the internet yucking it up over a new movie role he scored.

Yes, if you weren’t familiar, he’s been in a couple of projects since 2023, according to his IMDb page. They are pretty obscure projects and the roles are minor. But it seems he’s trying to pick up a new skill which is highly commendable. This film looks to have some more backing than others, as according to eventbrite, it had a premiere over the weekend.

Charleston White The Next Major Movie Star?

It took place on Saturday, November 16 at the Angelika Film Center & Café in Dallas, Texas. The title of the movie is Wrong Address and it was released by A Bigger Picture. It also stars Nykol Harris, Alex Stein, and Jayceon Marshall. There isn’t much on the plot of it, but based on the short clip above, it looks to be some sort of crime/dramedy of sorts. Speaking of that clip, it’s garnering people’s attention on social media for how Charleston White portrays his character.

That is to say it’s basically himself and to no one’s surprise, he kills it. He’s being interrogated by the police and he’s shouting profanities and acting out, which is how he normally is on the internet. People seem to be loving it, with one X (Twitter) user writing, “🤣🤣 I need to check this out.” Another jokes, “He could play a big role in the next Friday movie😂😂” According to his Instagram, there looks to have been another private showing on November 17 in Mississippi, but information on where to watch is unavailable.

Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Shock Fans With Engagement Announcement

by

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good got into a relationship in the midst of the former’s legal troubles. Overall, Majors was forced to stand trial in an assault case stemming from an alleged incident with his former girlfriend. Although Majors did not win the case entirely, he has been able to get through this hard part in his career thanks to Good’s support. She has been by his side through thick and thin, and he has always shown appreciation for what she has done.

However, over the past week or so, there have been all sorts of rumors about a breakup between the two. Some have proclaimed that Majors and Good had broken up and that it was all over. These rumors came following reports that Good was paying all of Majors’ bills and expenses. Subsequently, a representative for the couple came out and confirmed that they are both doing just fine, and that there is absolutely nothing to worry about here. The reps’ words were ultimately confirmed last night at the Ebony Power 100 Gala, where Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good announced that they are engaged.

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good Take the Next Step

This is obviously a massive step in their relationship, and one that many fans probably were not expecting. However, it does make sense that Majors would want to make this move, especially if Good is holding him down in all aspects of life. The two have been completely inseparable over this past year, and there is no doubt that their relationship is burning bright.

As for what’s next for Majors, no one really knows. Following his exit from Marvel and all of its properties, Majors has not been able to find additional work. Once you find yourself blackballed, it is difficult to get out of that status. Although perhaps in time, Hollywood will slowly let him back in. At this point, anything can happen. However, it does seem very clear that Majors is eager to try and continue his career, by any means necessary.

Elliott Wilson Apologizes To SZA For “Ignorant” Response To “One Of Them Days”

by

Elliott Wilson has apologized to SZA for his initial response to her new film with Keke Palmer, One of Them Days, as well as his criticism of her interviewing Kendrick Lamar for Harper’s Bazaar. When SZA shared a trailer for One of Them Days, Wilson wrote back on X (formerly Twitter) “Why?” Discussing their relationship on his show, The Bigger Picture, Wilson explained that he regrets the post.

Wilson began by revealing that he already apologized to SZA privately, but wanted to do so publically as well. “I’m a big SZA fan musically. I love the last album,” he began. “She teased more music coming, even though this record’s still top 20. She doesn’t have to give us no music anymore. She’s still on top. I selfishly thought we were getting more music. I had no knowledge that this movie was coming out. And I would assume if she’s in a movie, she’s only doing like a cameo or something. I didn’t know it was like a real thespian-type thing that she’s behind. I didn’t know Issa Rae was part of it. I didn’t know any of this sh*t.”

Wilson continued: “So, I ignorantly reacted to it. ‘Why we rocking to this? Where’s the slaps?’ That was my initial mentality, but that was ignorant. They tore my ass up on Twitter. ‘I don’t want Black women to win, make movies,’ and all this type of stuff. So, all of that got real nasty, but I already apologized. I just wanna say publically, I was definitely wrong for that.”

Elliott Wilson Apologizes To SZA

One of Them Days will be hitting theaters next January. It’s directed by Lawrence Lamont and written by Syreeta Singleton. Check out Elliott Wilson’s full apology to SZA below.

LeBron James & Netflix Hit With New Lawsuit For Alleged Script Stealing

by

A filmmaker recently hit LeBron James, his production company, and Netflix with a 25-page lawsuit. The filmmaker, Rob Grabow, accuses them of stealing one of his scripts for one of their new basketball films. According to TMZ, Grabow alleges that he wrote a script for a film called The Gift of the Game. Reportedly, it was about a Native American high school basketball player trying to carry his team to a state title.

Grabow describes it as “a powerful basketball film that deals with issues of community, race relations and poverty.” He also alleges that he shared it with people close to Netflix, James, and his production company. Eventually, Grabow alleges that they used his ideas for their own film Rez Ball, which was released in September of this year.

Grabow cites various alleged similarities between The Gift of the Game and Rez Ball. This includes the ending when the protagonist is fouled during the championship game. “There are numerous substantially and strikingly similar concrete and expressive elements in the two works’ plot, theme, dialogue, mood, setting, pace, characters and sequence of events,” the lawsuit alleges. Grabow also alleges that Rez Ball is more similar to his screenplay than it is to the book of the same name, which it was supposedly inspired by. He’s suing for alleged copyright infringement, breach of contract, and more and seeking unspecified damages.

This isn’t the first lawsuit LeBron James has been hit with in recent weeks, however. In October, the athlete and his son Bronny were sued over their alleged involvement in a 2022 car accident. Two ladies accuse the father-son duo of hitting their vehicle on the highway, allegedly causing them injuries and damaging their vehicle. They’re also seeking unspecified damages.

Eminem is the self-proclaimed Rap God, but Grammy Award-winning emcee’s acting abilities. Well, Adam Sandler surely hasn’t.

According to The Sun, Eminem is reunite with Sandler onscreen by way of Happy Gilmore‘s highly anticipated sequel. Although the extent of Eminem’s forthcoming appearance has been disclosed, the outlet claims Em will play “a comedic role, and he really had fun with it.”

An insider spoke with the platform about Eminem time on set, saying: “Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with. He was just super low-key, he didn’t have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight.”

Given that filming has already begun, a source said Eminem shot his scenes in New Jersey on November 6. Last month, Kid Cudi confirmed being cast in the picture on Instagram, writing: “It’s been a long time dream of mine to work w Adam, he’s my favorite, and his movies and comedy made up my childhood. Another dream come true.”

Eminem hasn’t confirmed or denied his involved in the upcoming flick. But, this wouldn’t mark Eminem and Adam Sandler’s first time appearing in a film together. Back in 2009, the duo worked together for Funny People, which starred Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann.

Today (November 11), Megan Fox confirmed she’s pregnant with her and MGK’s (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) first child together.

Fox shared the news on Instagram. The two-image post features a maternity photo of Fox, naked but covered in black oil as she shows off her baby bump. The second photo is of a positive pregnancy test. She tagged MGK in the post, confirming that he’s the father. The post is captioned, “nothing is ever really lost. welcome back.”

The caption references a miscarriage Fox and MGK experienced, which Fox spoke about in 2023.

Both Fox and MGK have children from previous relationships. Fox is mother to three boys — Noah Shannon Green (born in 2012), Bodhi Ransom Green (born in 2014), and Journey River Green (born in 2016) — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, as People notes. MGK also has a daughter, Casie Colson Baker, born in 2009, per People.

Meanwhile, MGK recently spoke about how he’s perceived in the hip-hop community and how he believes it differs between races, saying, “I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that — being white in hip-hop. To me, it’s so funny because the streets f*ck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most sh*t.”

Tom Hardy’s First Time Meeting Eminem Made The Actor ‘Feel Like A Real D*ck’

by

When the average person meets their favorite celebrity losing cool points doesn’t matter. However, the same grace isn’t always extended to other celebrities. Venom: The Last Dance star Tom Hardy experienced this first hand when he met Eminem.

During his appearance on DJ Whoo Kid’s Whoo’s House Podcast, Hardy recounted his embarrassing first encounter with the “Somebody Save Me” rapper.

“I went to his concert and I felt sorry for him,” he said. “Because I got ushered to his dressing room backstage to say hello. and he had to take a photo with me and I felt like a real d–k. He’s nice, but he had to go on stage. So it’s like he’s prepping to do his job and then some idiot like me comes in and was like, ‘Hey!’ He just deadpanned me. I was like, ‘OK. Now is not the time, we’ll save this for another time.’”

Eminem fans online found Hardy’s confession hilarious considering his notoriously reclusive personality paired with the now viral photo (viewable here).

“This is the most Eminem thing ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂,” wrote one fan.

“Eminem just being Eminem around Tom Hardy will never not be funny,” chimed another.
