‘Creed II’ Trailer Sells Sequel To Michael B. Jordan’s ‘Creed’ And Sylvester Stallone’s ‘Rocky IV’
MGM just dropped the full trailer to Creed II. As expected, this full-length trailer plays up the explicit connection to Rocky IV, namely the return of Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago (the Russian boxer who killed Apollo Creed during an exhibition match 33-years-ago) and the appearance of Ivan’s son (Florian Munteanu). It looks like this sequel to Creed, which itself was both Rocky VII and a serious drama mined from the most ridiculous of the Rocky sequels, will be a cross between Creed II and Rocky IV part 3.
The big question is whether or not Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa will succumb to his cancer diagnosis ($5 says that first sequence in the trailer features “Ghost Rocky”), and whether that death will essentially play out like the death of Burgess Meredith’s Mickey in Rocky III. It would be… unfortunate if that were the case since such strict source fidelity can mute the emotional impact of such moments. For example, the death of Han Solo in The Force Awakens would have meant more had the film not so explicitly following the New Hope blueprint thus making Han’s death merely a carbon copy of Ben Kenobi’s fate.
The other question is whether the film can overcome it’s central qualm, which is that it really is stupid for Creed (now with an infant son) to fight this guy considering the risks and the odds. And since every character we trust tells him not to do it, well, that’s one of the reasons why Rocky IV (which at least was a slightly campy melodrama) stumbles in its second act. I’m hoping this isn’t a film whereby I spend the entire running hoping that Adonis will choose not to fight the son of the guy who killed his dad in an equally foolish and unneccesary boxing match.

Rapper Lil Xan hospitalized after eating ‘too many Hot Cheetos’
Lil Xan has said he needed to go to hospital on Monday after eating too many Hot Cheetos.
The Total Xanarchy rapper posted a message to his five million followers on Instagram after being discharged.
“I was in hospital not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos,” he said with a laugh.
In a caption to the post he added he was “healthier than I’ve ever been”, ahead of his upcoming live tour.
Hot Cheetos are an American corn-based snack. And they’re spicy.
On Tuesday, the 22-year-old alarmed fans by posting a photo of himself in the back seat of an ambulance on his Instagram story.
He quickly posted a new clip revealing: “I was in the hospital not due to any drugs but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos and it ripped something in my stomach open so I puked a little blood”.
The rapper’s Total Xanarchy tour kicks off in New York City on Wednesday.
It’s not the first time the snacks have been in the news because of health concerns.

So Um, Models with Three Breasts Just Walked the Runway at Milan Fashion Week
Of all the things to make it down the runway during fashion week, three-breasted models may be one of the more bizarre. Italian streetwear brand GCDS sent two models down the catwalk wearing a prosthetic third breast, which you can see clearly their under cropped sports bra tops.
The brand (the initials stand for God Can’t Destroy Streetwear) had the models wear one fake prosthetic breast between their actual breasts, and you just need to see this with your own eyes because no amount of describing does it justice. Behold:

Chrissy Teigen Has No Shame About Sleeping With John Legend The Night They Met
All of Chrissy Teigen loved all of John Legend the night they met.
Before the cookbook author reigned as Twitter supreme and the singer had a trophy case rivaling a top-tier professional sports team, Teigen starred as Legend’s love interest in the 2007 music video for his song “Stereo.”
The connection on set was so strong that their relationship kicked off right then and there.
“I closed the deal the first night,” Teigen said Monday on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” “It’s fine!”
She added: “We were on a music video set all day together and then I went to one of his shows and then … yeah …”
Teigen has since appeared in a handful of Legend’s music videos, including “All Of Me” and “Love Me Now,” which also features a cameo from the couple’s daughter, Luna Simone. In May, they welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Miles Theodore.
But their road to coupledom wasn’t exactly a straight shot after their music-video romance. The “Lip Sync Battle” host revealed she gave Legend some space after their first hookup.
“The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, ‘There’s so much more out there,’” she told Cosmopolitan back in 2014. “I played it cool for a long time. Never once did I ask, ‘What are we?’ Marriage was never my goal, because I’ve never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him.”

Bill Cosby’s Star Won’t Be Removed From Hollywood Walk Of Fame
HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA/AP) – Despite being sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, Bill Cosby’s star will not be removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In a statement Tuesday to CBS2, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said it “does not remove stars from the Walk of Fame” because they “are intended to be permanent.”
“The stars only commemorate the recipient’s professional accomplishments,” the chamber wrote. “It is regrettable when the personal lives of inductees do not measure up to public standards and expectations.”
This comes after a petition was submitted Monday demanding that Cosby’s star be pulled. The chamber has never removed a star from the Walk of Fame and turned down a 2015 request to remove Cosby’s star when the sexual assault allegations against him first began to surface.
Not everyone shared the Chamber of Commerce’s view after Cosby’s sentencing Tuesday.
A Pennsylvania judge Tuesday sentenced Bill Cosby to 3 to 10 years in prison for three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault. The judge also declared him a sexually violent predator.
In April, Cosby was found guilty of sexually assaulting Temple University women’s basketball administrator Andrea Constand at his estate near Philadelphia in 2004.
“It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come,” Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said. He quoted from Constand’s own statement to the court, in which she said Cosby took her “beautiful, young spirit and crushed it.”
O’Neill also denied Bill Cosby bail, ordering him to be locked up immediately.

Kim Kardashian’s Daughter North West Models On Runway For First Time
The kid slayed the catwalk.
North West, the 5-year-old daughter of reality TV star Kim Kardashian, aced her runway-modeling debut on Saturday at a fashion show for the L.O.L. Surprise toy brand, Harper’s Bazaar reported.
If video posted by her mom is any indication, North nailed it in a Michael Jackson-inspired outfit as as the L.O.L. Surprise doll character Thrilla.
And her turn had attitude.
“North is completely obsessed with L.O.L. Surprise already, so when we found out there was going to be an L.O.L. Surprise BIGGER Surprise Fashion show, she absolutely had to be involved,” Kardashian said, according to People.
The event marked the launch of the L.O.L. Surprise ‘Bigger Surprise’ line, but the runway clearly belonged to North.
Early in the summer, North appeared in a photo shoot with mom Kim and grandma Kris Jenner for Fendi, and live modeling appeared to be a natural next step.
“She loves to dress up like her favorite characters, so it was so exciting for her to actually become a real-life L.O.L. doll,” Kardashian said.
Husband Kanye West and their son Saint, meanwhile, showed up in Chicago on Sunday to throw out the first pitch for the White Sox game.

Dr. Dre TV Show Dropped by Apple Due to Violence, Sex: Report
Apple has reportedly rejected “Vital Signs,” an in-the-works TV show starring and executive-produced by Dr. Dre that was being made for its streaming service, after CEO Tim Cook deemed its content too graphic and violent, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The semi-autobiographical, six-episode show had been touted as Apple’s debut scripted series, with a cast including Sam Rockwell, Michael K. Williams, and Ian McShane. According to The Wall Street Journal, Cook objected to scenes involving drugs, sex, and guns. The show may end up being broadcast elsewhere.
In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rockwell said that the show featured him, Williams, and McShane playing different aspects of Dr. Dre’s personality. “I play Ego, and Ian McShane is Vengeance, and Michael K. Williams is Negativity. There’s also a character called Prodigy,” he said. Rockwell also told EW that “We had a couple of orgy scenes. That was interesting.”
The Wall Street Journal reports, “Apple has made clear, say producers and agents, that it wants high-quality shows with stars and broad appeal, but it doesn’t want gratuitous sex, profanity or violence.” For an M. Night Shyamalan series, which was ultimately approved, Apple reportedly requested that crucifixes in the lead characters’ house be removed. Apple has also replaced several other series’ showrunners after purchasing the rights, according to the report.
Pitchfork has contacted representatives for Apple and Dr. Dre for comment.

Super Bowl LIII is being held in Atlanta, and some fans were hoping the NFL would give props to the ATL’s hot music scene. Needless to say, Maroon 5 isn’t checking that box for those fans.
