Will Smith has been paying the personal consequences for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, like resigning from The Academy. Now, the disgraced actor is taking a hit professionally.
He was slated to start filming Fast and Loose for Netflix shortly. However, due to the director leaving before Sunday’s fiasco and what happened that night, the film has suddenly been put on the backburner.
The Hollywood Reporter added that his completed Apple TV+ movie Emancipation has no release date. Several other movies that he was lined up for, including Bad Boys 4, are all taking a pause.
I am sure they will all start up again, but for now, they need to let the fire burn out before they consider working with an actor who is persona non grata
Miley Cyrus has had a rough couple of weeks. First, her plane was struck by lightning and had to make an emergency landing. Then her good friend, Taylor Hawkins, passed away suddenly. And now, the singer has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Traveling around the world, playin for a 100,000 people a night & meeting hundreds of fans a day the chances of getting Covid are pretty high. I have Covid now but it was definitely worth it,” Cyrus wrote. “Unfortunately because of this I’m missing out on Janie’s Fund which sucks because it’s a charity that’s super important to me & my friend Steven Tyler. I am feeling fine so don’t worry about me! Sorry Steven! We’ll have to ‘Walk This Way’ another time! 🖤🖤🖤”
Hopefully, this was the third bad thing to happen to her, and she will start to have good luck again.
Daniel Craig is starring in Macbeth on Broadway, but he is taking an unwanted break from the show.
“PERFORMANCE UPDATE FOR SATURDAY, APRIL 2. Today’s matinee and evening performance of MACBETH are cancelled due to Daniel Craig just testing positive for COVID this afternoon,” Macbeth on Broadway wrote. “We apologize for the inconvenience this causes ticket holders, but the safety of our audiences, the cast and crew remains our top priority.”
Hopefully, the witches didn’t do their spell on him. You know the one, “Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!” And he will be better soon so that the show could go on.
There have been many monumental inventions throughout time, and Discovery+ is looking at some of my favorite ones. The first two episodes of Inventions That Changed History feature items we have all had or wanted.
In the first episode, they look at Waterbeds, Barf Bags, Big Mouth Billy Bass, Flushing Toilet, Super Soaker, Sea-Monkeys, Pool Noodle, and Slip’ N Slide. Then in the second one, we learn about Mr. Potato Head, Pop Rocks, Corn Cob Holders, Easy Bake Oven, Box Wine, Rubber Chicken, Listerine, and Vending Machines.
We learn things like what the water bed was originally filled with inside, which Game of Thrones actor is related to the man who invented the toilet, which inventions were pulled from the market for safety issues, and the holy reason how vending machines came into existence.
Several celebrities like Richard Kind (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Lance Reddick (“The Wire”), Nicole Sullivan (MADtv), Haskiri Velazquez (“Saved By The Bell”), Amanda Seales (“Insecure”), Flula Borg (Suicide Squad), Yeardley Smith (“The Simpsons”), Jeff Ross (Comedian), Erik Griffin (Actor/Comedian), Harvey Guillen (“What We Do in the Shadows”) and Rachael Harris (The Hangover) share their memories of the inventions. And the younger ones get to test them out.
So if you ever wanted to know the origin of Pop Rocks and Sea Monkeys, here is your chance. It is much more interesting than you ever thought it could be. I just wish I didn’t have to send back one of my most cherished belongings because the inventor was a neo-Nazi.
