Khaby Lame is anything but lame on TikTok, and that is why he is one of the most followed people on the social media app.
He is so popular that Naomi Campbell and Ed Sheeran have made videos with him. Now, there is one more celebrity that we can add to the list, and it is Idris Elba.
How many times have you watched a Horror or Action film and wished you could tell the character to do the obvious? Well, Lame got to do that with Idris Elba.
There is a scene in the actor’s new movie, Beast, where he runs away from a lion and hides in his car. Lame shows Elba that he forgot to do one crucial thing, and that was lock the car doors. While Lame is correct, it isn’t the best solution. Because last time I checked, lions don’t know how to open car doors. And with that, I made one of Lame’s signature moves.
Back in the ’80s, there were several name-brand jeans that everyone wore. There was a Jordache, Sassoon, Levi’s, Calvin Klein, and Gloria Vanderbilt. However, most of them didn’t see the butt of the ’90s, including the ones created by Anderson Cooper’s mother.
Therefore, I was shocked today when I saw Priyanka Chopra was doing a commercial for them. Who knew they were back? But I guess they are.
Mrs. Nick Jonas explained why she put their dungarees on, “I like to surround myself with people that empower me to be my most authentic self. That’s why today, I’m thrilled to announce my new campaign for @gloriavanderbiltjeans.
“Gloria Vanderbilt was a pioneer in the fashion industry, creating jeans specifically designed with women’s needs in mind NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO, and this motto still stands even today, and it’s a legacy that I’m honored to be a part of.
“When I wear my GV’s, I genuinely feel I can express who I am, highlight my individuality, and show a version of myself, a confident & genuine woman, for the world to see. I hope this campaign inspires you to find your own version of empowerment because we all have needs, and GV is here to fit them.”
Remember when Fall started after Labor Day? Well, at Krispy Kreme, Pumpkin Spice, aka Autumn, will be done by then.
Yesterday, the donut shop launched its Pumpkin Spice menu which includes four donuts (one new one) and two new coffee drinks.
NEW Pumpkin Spice Latte Swirl Doughnut: A Pumpkin Spice Doughnut dipped in a pumpkin spice/sugar blend and topped with a swirl of vanilla and coffee buttercream.
Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed® Doughnut: A classic Original Glazed doughnut with a pumpkin spice twist.
Pumpkin Spice Original Filled Cheesecake Doughnut: A Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut with creamy cheesecake filling decorated with cheesecake icing.
Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut: A perfectly spiced old-fashioned cake doughnut covered in iconic glaze.
Pumpkin Spice Latte: A latte flavored with pumpkin pie sauce, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice seasoning – available hot, iced or frozen.
NEW Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee: Iced Coffee blended with pumpkin pie sauce.
Why are they starting the season before most kids are back in school? “Sure, pumpkin spice is generally associated with fall, but true fans of the flavor will agree that August is close enough! So, we’re pulling fall forward, enabling our guests to indulge and enjoy early with delicious pumpkin spice doughnuts and drinks, including our Pumpkin Spice Latte, which you can get iced or frozen, by the way,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme.
If Krispy Kreme debuts its Peppermint menu in September, I will boycott them. Not really, but I will say I will. I will do it because if now they will start celebrating Easter in January, and if the Groundhog hasn’t foreshadowed how many weeks until Spring, we cannot celebrate the season then. That sounded like a gpod excuse, didn’t it?
Back to this month’s donuts, you can get a free Pumpkin Spice one with any purchase today only.
The Emmys are just over a month away, and today the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences and NBC announced that Kenan Thompson will be hosting Television’s biggest night on September 12th.
“Being a part of this incredible evening where we honor the best of the television community is ridiculously exciting, and to do it on NBC – my longtime network family – makes it even more special,” Thompson said. “Like all TV fans, I can’t wait to see the stars from my favorite shows.”
I think it is a great consolation prize for cancelling his hilarious sitcom, Kenan. That and it is truly deserved. Because who doesn’t like Kenan? And there is a reason why everyone loves him. He is a really nice guy, from what I hear! We need to support the good ones, and this is a great start.
BTW Did you know he is going into his 20th season as a member of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players on Saturday Night? What a September for Kenan, who is getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday!
He might not be an overnight success, but he is a success.
The entertainment industry has been predominantly tainted by notions of empty glamor and is perceived as nothing but raving luxury and excessive fame. No matter where we live, this is how the entertainment industry is perceived. However, the entertainment industry not only has a creative, glamorous edge but also offers diverse work opportunities.
It’s important to understand that the entertainment industry is not just about fun and games. You may think that acting is the only way you can get into this industry, but there are many other career options in this industry that you can take advantage of. So, without any further ado let’s get started.
Start Your Acting Career
This is the obvious option. While performing in front of a camera is not easy for everyone, luckily, there are now degrees being offered in acting as well. Not only do actors get the lion’s share from the movies they perform in, but they also hit stardom early on in their lives. This is not true for everyone, but only those who put their heart and soul into making a character come alive.
If you have the talent, you can easily get your big break into this industry. You can start with smaller roles, but with the right agent, you will definitely land a job that can take you to greater heights. In addition to this, taking acting classes is always great for polishing your skill and understanding the craft for better roles.
Write The Script
Perhaps acting isn’t your forte and you want to stay more on the creative end. In this case, becoming a writer may be a good alternative. Writers are usually less acknowledged in our society. But without writers, no scripts can be prepared in the movie business. You can also go on producing your own books or plays that could be re-enacted into movies or on stage.
This means you can share the rights of your work and earn from the screen version in addition to the royalties. Many literary works are converted into movies and seasons these days. This is because people prefer on-screen adaptations more than original content due to a lack of time for, or interest in, reading. This will help your work reach a large audience and many people will refer to the originally written draft, thereby gaining you a loyal fan base!
Consider Public Relations
PR and marketing have become a huge part of the entertainment industry. While it is not just limited to entertainment, it can certainly do wonders for films, actors, and directors, making them a lot of money. So imagine if you are a Public Relations manager, how sought-after will you be for all the major entertainment studios? Certainly, you will be someone important.
There are many options available these days. You can apply for an entertainment management degree online or a Public Relations degree which might be the perfect choice for you. Although you will not be directly involved in acting or film and your job will be on the sidelines, it’s still quite important as only the right PR can lift a movie into stardom. So, it is an option worth exploring if you want to avoid the limelight but still be a part of the industry.
Consider Becoming a Director
Directors, writers, and producers all work behind the scenes and have extensive responsibility for making the film work. As a matter of fact, behind every successful movie is often a stubborn director who fusses about everything till he gets the perfect shots.
To be a director, you need to be resilient, win the trust of your investors, and have a great eye for cinema. If you are a control freak and think you can control everything on the set, from actors to the camera crew, and bind them to your creative vision in order to produce something magical, then you need to try your luck as a movie director. These days you can pursue various professional courses where you can learn the art of film direction. So, don’t miss your chance to really make it in Hollywood.
Try Your Luck In Animation
This is one of the most sought-after skills in the entertainment industry nowadays. Animated movies are not made solely for children but for audiences of all age groups, and they relate to all kinds of niches. It would not be wrong to say that it is this new kind of entertainment that has contributed to animators being in high demand.
If you are into computers, we suggest trying your hand at animation. You can also get a separate degree in graphics to better understand animation. So, pursuing relevant courses or an intensive degree program will be a wise move, if you are interested in this field. Animators these days are making thousands of dollars through their skills. It is only fitting that you get into this progressive field as soon as you can.
If being in the entertainment industry has always been your dream, now you have several options to look through in order to define a clear direction for yourself. You will not only be working in your desired field but can also make big bucks.
