Shakira: Singer attacked by a pair of wild boars - BBC News

Image
Getty Images Pop superstar Shakira says she was the victim of a random attack by a pair of wild boars while walking in a park in Barcelona with her eight-year-old son. The Colombian singer said the animals attacked her, before seizing her bag and retreating with it into the woods. She shared her bizarre tale in a series of Instagram stories on Wednesday. Holding the now recovered but torn bag towards the camera, she said: "Look at how two wild boar which attacked me in the park have left my bag." "They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it," the singer continued. "They've destroyed everything." She then turned to her son, whose father is the Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, and said: "Milan tell the truth. Say how your mummy stood up to the wild boar." Shakira is the latest victim of the increasingly aggressive hogs which have invaded the Catalan capital in recent years. In 2...

Ellen Pompeo Says She Cussed Out Denzel Washington On 'Grey's Anatomy' Set - HuffPost

Image
Ellen Pompeo said she harshly snapped back at Denzel Washington when he directed an episode of “ Grey’s Anatomy .” Washington, a two-time Oscar-winning actor, was helming 2016′s “ The Sound of Silence ” episode when Pompeo said she ad-libbed the line, “Look at me when you apologize. Look at me,” in an exchange with another actor. The off-script moment irritated Washington.  “Denzel went ham on my ass,” she told former co-star Patrick Dempsey  on her “Tell Me” podcast, posted Wednesday. “He was like, ‘I’m the director. Don’t you tell him what to do.’ And I was like, ’Listen, motherfucker, this is my show. This is my set. Who are you telling? Like you barely know where the bathroom is.’” The two didn’t speak for a while. Pompeo said she told Washington’s wife, Pauletta Pearson, that Washington yelled at her and “I’m not OK with him.” But the two eventually patched things up, and Pompeo said she has the “utmost respect” for Washington. The passion of performers, ...

Surprise! Eminem serves fans at food window of Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant Detroit opening - MLive.com

Image
DETROIT - Talk about a first trip to Detroit he’ll never forget. An Eminem fan from New York came to the Motor City for the rapper’s Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant opening only to be one of the few to actually meet the real “Slim Shady.” Brendan Linden, who is from the Bronx, was one of the first people in the line which stretched for blocks along Woodward Avenue. Much to his surprise, Eminem showed up before the doors opened and handed spaghetti to the first 10 people. “I came here in the hopes of meeting him. I didn’t think he was going to be here,” an excited Linden told MLive. “He shook my hand and I told him what he means to my life and how much his music has impacted me. He told me thank you so much and he gave me some food.” Eminem serves spaghetti to Brendan Linden at the grand opening of the rapper's Mom's Spaghetti restaurant in Detroit on September 29, 2021. Linden is from New York and was visiting Detroit for the first time in his life for the restaurant's op...

The Problem With Jon Stewart’s new talk show might be his own tremendous shadow - The A.V. Club

Image
Jon Stewart Photo: Apple TV+ If you were to ask any major talk show host during the mid-1990s who their single biggest influence was, they would likely say one name: Johnny Carson. A decade later, it was probably David Letterman. However, today that name is very likely Jon Stewart, whose 16-year run on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show took the superficial format of Saturday Night Live ’s “Weekend Update” and elevated it beyond simple fake news and pop culture references. Four nights a week, Stewart delivered incisive satirical commentary about the very real political issues impacting the world. Four former Daily Show correspondents now host their own talk shows that each bear Stewart’s mark in some way: Stephen Colbert ( The Late Show ), John Oliver ( Last Week Tonight ), Samantha Bee ( Full Frontal ), and his eventual Daily Show successor Trevor Noah. Former Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac hosted Problem Area s in 2018 ( Stewart has acknowledged the similarit...

Serkis Talks Eddie & "Venom" Love Affair - Dark Horizons

Image
Sony Pictures Though the first “Venom” was critically derided, there was praise kept not just for Tom Hardy’s performance but the moments the film embraced the wackier buddy comedy and even romantic comedy aspects of its setup. From the lobster tank restaurant scene to the arguments between Hardy and Venom, the film worked best when it left behind the more conventional superhero genre aspects and went for old school Cronenberg-style body horror (albeit in a PG-13 context) meets Stooges-esque physical comedy. With the sequel, inevitable after the first grossed $856 million worldwide, both director Andy Serkis and the Sony marketing department seem to be embracing the odd couple pairing. Speaking with Uproxx recently, Serkis talked about how this unusual relationship had evolved into something co-dependent and even intimate: “Absolutely they do love each other and that’s the kind of the center of the movie is that love affair, that central love affair… I inherited it [the film...

Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga Will Star in 'Macbeth' on Broadway - The New York Times

Image
Ruth Negga will co-star as Lady Macbeth in a production directed by Sam Gold and scheduled to open next April. Daniel Craig is veering from James Bond to Shakespeare. The 53-year-old actor, who has said that his tenure as Bond will come to an end with the release of “ No Time to Die ,” on Oct. 8, plans to return to Broadway next spring to star in the title role of “Macbeth.” Famous for his film career, especially as the rakish spy, Craig is also an accomplished stage actor. He has starred in two previous Broadway plays, the 2009 production of “A Steady Rain” and a 2013 revival of “Betrayal.” And he played the villainous Iago in a 2016 Off Broadway production of Shakespeare’s “ Othello ” at New York Theater Workshop, opposite David Oyelowo in the title role. (“Gritty brilliance,” the New York Times critic Ben Brantley wrote of Craig’s performance.) In the “Macbeth” production, Ruth Negga will play his wife, Lady Macbeth. Negga, known for the TV show “Preacher” and the fil...

Britney Spears' father criticizes potential replacement and pushes to end conservatorship - CBS News

Image
Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, is claiming the man nominated to replace him is not qualified to serve as a conservator of the pop star's estate, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles on Monday. Spears and her attorney recently nominated John Zabel, a certified public accountant, to replace her father should Jamie Spears step down or be removed from the arrangement. Her father vowed to step down when the "time is right" and said the conservatorship should be terminated soon — something his legal team repeated on Monday. "There is no need for a temporary conservator because there is no vacancy in the position of conservator," Jamie Spears' attorneys wrote. "Mr. Spears continues to serve faithfully as Conservator of the Estate, as he has done for the past thirteen years. Mr. Spears has not and should not be suspended, especially since the Conservatorship should soon be terminated." Jamie Spears' attorney said Zabel is no...

Blake Shelton Says Ariana Grande "Stabbed Me in the Back" on The Voice - Cosmopolitan

Looks like Blake Shelton and Ariana Grande's rivalry is continuing over on The Voice. During Monday's episode, both Blake and Kelly Clarkson wanted singer Jeremy Rosado on their team—and Blake asked for Ariana's support.

'Squid Game' May Become Netflix's Most Popular | HYPEBEAST - HYPEBEAST

Image
Squid Game was the first Korean drama to hit No.1 on Netflix and did it in just four days after its release. According to Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s co-CEO and Head of Content, “ Squid Game will definitely be our biggest non-English language show in the world, for sure,” and has “a very good chance it’s going to be our biggest show ever.” Netflix typically measures the popularity of its shows based on how many people watch a title for at least two minutes in the first 28 days following its debut. As the series was released on September 17, it only has 11 days of viewership so far. Currently, the most popular series is Bridgerton , followed by Lupin at number 2. The full list of shows can be found here . In an interview with Variety , Dong-Hyuk Hwang says he may return to produce feature movies before making the sequel to Squid Game . “If I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers’ room and would want multiple experienced directors,” said Hwang....

The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber's 'Stay' Scores Sixth Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 - Billboard

Image
"Stay," released on Raymond Braun/Columbia Records/Def Jam, drew 81.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 6%) and 26.7 million U.S. streams (down 2%) and sold 10,800 downloads (down 14%) in the week ending Sept. 23, according to MRC Data. "Stay" adds a second week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart; dips 3-4 on Streaming Songs , where it has spent six weeks on top; and holds at No. 4 on Digital Song Sales , after reaching No. 3. Meanwhile, as "Stay" tops the Hot 100 for a sixth week, it ties for the third-longest command for a song by two or more co-billed solo male leads over the chart's 63-year history . Here's an updated leaderboard of such No. 1s to reign for at least three weeks (and which excludes duos or groups known for regularly recording together, such as Daryl Hall & John Oates or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis; notably, Bieber and Paul McCartney each factor into two of the top four titles): 16 weeks at No. 1, "D...
