Parker had been accused and acquitted of raping a fellow student 17 years ago while a student at Penn State University, and during his clumsy and tone-deaf early defense of his actions this August, Union and co-star Aja Naomi King , who plays Turner’s wife, had remained silent, with Union’s first statement on the matter coming through an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times last week. But with the movie opening on October 7, the time for equivocation is over. And it seems clear, from an impassioned impromptu speech she gave from the stage at Nation’s Toronto Film Festival premiere — … [Read more...] about Gabrielle Union Takes a Stand for

In 2019, we reported that Comedy Central had ordered a series from comedian Phoebe Robinson . The premise was that “Robinson is ‘a workaholic who has the luxury of working from home most days at the expense of experiencing the world,’ so the series will follow her ‘getting out of the house and meeting the people she’s admired from afar.’” This, in retrospect, is hilarious. “Working from home most days at the expense of experiencing the world” could be in all of our bios, this past year. But we’re not comedians, and we’re not friends with eccentric famous people, and that’s where the charm of Doing the Most with Phoebe Robinson comes in, because Robinson is both. In the ten-episode series’ first teaser, Robinson does a high ropes course with Kevin Bacon, tumbles with Amber Ruffin, bakes with Tan France, and learns magic with the Property Brothers. Gabrielle Union, Hasan Minhaj, and Ashley Graham will also make appearances in future episodes.

Photo: Youtube This time a year ago, Justin Bieber was preparing to take his then-latest album on the road for a three-month string of stadium shows, covering venues along the east and west coasts, the South, the Midwest, and big cities in Quebec and Ontario.

The tour for 2015’s Purpose , which crisscrossed continents from between winter of 2016 and the summer of 2017, ended two months early when the singer abruptly canceled 14 dates. A statement from his longtime manager Scooter Braun said, without getting into specifics, that Bieber’s “soul and well-being” needed to come first for an indefinite amount of time. “I want my career to be … [Read more...] about Justin Bieber’s New Album Is Mostly Peace, No Justice (Phew)
