Empire Producers Considering Suspending Jussie Smollet From Empire
Looks like things are going from bad to worse from Jussie Smollet. As expected since he is now a suspect in his false claims of being racially attacked, producers are now considering suspending him from the hit tv show Empire.
Fox had previously stood by Smollet after he allegedly claimed he was attacked on January 29th. While they are considering suspending him, Smollet will likely not be written off the show entirely seeing as how he’s a major character on the show.
It’s honestly a shame that all of this mess is unfolding during Black History Month of all times. Smollet is looking at a felony charge and it will only get interesting from here.
Orlando Brown Arrested For Battery
Looks like Orlando Brown is coming out from the shadows, and not in a good way.
Brown was arrested Thursday on an old warrant, after a heated argument led police to his apartment. Brown was handcuffed in Barstow, California and is on $25,000 bond. He is charged with battery of a spouse, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance.
Looks like things are going from bad to worse for Orlando Brown. If he somehow manages to avoid time hopefully he gets his life and act together soon.
Aziz Ansari Accused of Sexual Misconduct
An anonymous woman recounted how the comedian attempted to pressure her into sex on a date
Aziz Ansari, the Parks and Recreation and Master of Nonestar who has built a career out of using comedy as a means to explore modern relationships, has been accused of sexual misconduct by an anonymous woman who says she went out on a date with him shortly after the 2017 Emmy Awards.
Twenty-three-year-old photographer “Grace” described the encounter to babe, saying she met Ansari while she was taking photos at the Emmy Awards after-party. The two bonded over Ansari’s camera and eventually exchanged phone numbers. According to the woman, Ansari invited her out on a date on Monday, September 25.
On the night in question, the two allegedly met at Ansari’s TriBeCa apartment and walked over to Grand Banks, an oyster bar aboard a schooner. Grace said that they left abruptly to go back to his apartment, where Ansari began to kiss her. She told babe that she was uncomfortable with how quickly the situation escalated. “It was really quick,” she said. “Everything was pretty much touched and done within ten minutes of hooking up, except for actual sex.”
Grace said she attempted to indicate her disinterest, but Ansari followed her around the apartment as though he was executing “a football play.” “It was 30 minutes of me getting up and moving and him following and sticking his fingers down my throat again,” she said. “It was really repetitive. It felt like a fucking game.” She said he then suggested they move to the couch, where he continued to attempt to initiate sex, though she wasn’t interested: “I know I was physically giving off cues that I wasn’t interested. I don’t think that was noticed at all, or if it was, it was ignored.”
She tried to verbally communicate her disinterest: “I said I don’t want to feel forced because then I’ll hate you, and I’d rather not hate you,” she said. Ansari appeared to understand at first, but soon continued his overtures. She said he only appeared to get the message when she emphatically said ‘no’ after he’d bent her over in front of a large mirror. He suggested they “just chill” on his couch.
Afterward, Ansari called her a car. Grace said she cried the whole trip home. She texted Ansari after the date, explaining how uncomfortable she’d felt: “Last night might’ve been fun for you, but it wasn’t for me. When we got back to your place, you ignored clear non-verbal cues; you kept going with advances. You had to have noticed I was uncomfortable.” She explained she was telling him this so that “maybe the next girl doesn‘t have to cry on the ride home.” Ansari reportedly responded, “Clearly, I misread things in the moment and I’m truly sorry.”
“I believe that I was taken advantage of by Aziz,” Grace told babe. “I was not listened to and ignored. It was by far the worst experience with a man I’ve ever had.”
Ansari has delved into the nature of sexual assault and harassment both during live sets and on his show, Master of None. During his 2015 Madison Square Garden special, he asked women in the crowd who had been followed home by “creepy dudes” to raise their hands. “What I’ve learned, as a guy, is to just ask women questions and listen to what they have to say,” he told the Daily Beast of the bit. “You’ll get blown away by the things they tell you. You’ll think, ‘What the fuck? This is way darker than anything I’d imagined.’”

Terry Crew’s Groper Is Revealed
Hollywood’s cover is finally being blown. May actors, and even adults who were child actors are coming out with allegations of sexual abuse.
A few weeks back Terry Crews revealed that he had also been a victim of sexual harassment at the hands of a powerful Hollywood man.
Variety is now reporting that Adam Venit, the longtime head of WME’s motion picture group, is on leave from the agency as it probes an allegation of sexual harassment involving actor Terry Crews.
Crews disclosed via social media on Oct. 10 that he was groped last year at a “Hollywood function” by a “high-level Hollywood executive.” Sources close to the situation said Crews in recent days has been preparing to cite Venit as the unnamed executive. Crews is a client of WME.
Reps for WME and Venit declined to comment, as did a spokeswoman for Crews.
Details about the incident, including the setting of the event, remain sketchy. It’s unclear if Venit’s alleged intent was overtly sexual or if it was aggressive horseplay that crossed a line. Crews said the groping occurred in full view of his wife.

Dora The Explorer Actress Caught Vaping At School
Well if this isn’t a shocker I don’t know what is. Looks like Dora has been exploring the world of vaping. Actress Fatima Ptacek and another young girl at her school caught vaping in the bathroom back on December 10.
But here’s the kicker, while the other girl was expelled from the Manhattan Private School. Ptacek received only a 3 day suspension! This is celebrity status at its finest. But this isn’t stopping the other girl’s parents from suing Avenues private school
Parents Nadia Leonelli and Fredrik Sundwal say they their daughter was peer pressured into vaping with the young celebrity.
In court papers, it said “she was approached by her friend, F.P. to go into the bathroom and try smoking flavored water vapor in a ‘vape’ pen that F.P. had borrowed from a fellow 10th grade classmate,”While they say both were punished they say they it wasn’t fairly done because of celebrity status.
The suit also says that M.S. (the young girl) “was reluctant to try but gave in to peer pressure, wanting to appear ‘cool’ in front of F.P. because she is older than M.S. and is a celebrity.
The parents have already spent $10,000 in legal fees and are still fight the school district. This is ridiculous. If this is the case then Ptacek should be expelled also. What did she do in order to get off so easily? Oh that’s right she’s a celebrity therefore lighter punishment. The other girl also needs to learn not to be peer pressured into anything just that person is older and is famous. Parents, teach your kids not to worship celebrities.

Alexandra Shipp Talks About Storm’s Character In Interview
To think that in a little over 2 months the movie X-Men Apocalypse will be hitting theaters. With each passing day we’re getting a little more information each day. Recently actress Alexandra Shipp who will be playing Storm did an interview with Collider.com giving some details about her character.
Here’s one of the questions she answered in her interview:
Can you tell us a little bit about Storm? Or, this Storm, your Storm.
SHIPP: My Storm in particular is kind of a, well yeah, she’s the past derivative of Halle’s Storm. This Storm is a little bit different because you’re meeting her in Cairo. You’re seeing kind of a little bit of where she comes from. You’re seeing all the pain that she’s gone through. It’s not like she’s in the mansion having a great time. She’s so different from all of the other kids because they come from families. They come from some sort of love and support whereas Storm hasn’t had that since her parents died in that plane crash into the house when she was like 5.
It’s like, she’s kind of just all really messed up and the only mutants that she knows are bad mutants. The only mutants that she knows are the mutants who use their powers for stealing, or protecting thugs or whatever. It’s not like, “Oh, we’re going to save the planet”. It’s like, “Forget the planet, I need money so I’m going to distract you with some wind and then I’m going to pick pocket you.” She’s in survival mode so when she meets Apocalypse, she’s kind of like hit this revelation where she has been struggling to feel like she belongs somewhere.

Alan Rickman Dead At 69
As of January 14th, famous English actor Alan Rickman best known for his roles as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series, passed away after a short battle with cancer. He was 69 years old.
Soon after his death was reported fans of the late actor created a memorial in honor of him at the 9 3/4 platform at the King’s Cross station in London. J.K. Rowling and several of the Harry Potter actors and other actors spoke out about Rickman such as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Emma Thompson, and Ian Mckellen.
While I haven’t really seen any other roles he’s played outside of Harry Potter, Mr. Rickman’s character Professor Snape definitely stood out to me. While I’ve only been a fan of the Harry Potter franchise for a few years, just like everybody else he went from a character who I loved to hate to someone who I really respected and admired. I can tell by they way the people have written about him that he was a wonderful man with great talent.
R.I.P. Alan Rickman, and as your character Snape said, “Please turn to page 394”
