It was reported that Kanye West fans stormed a club in NYC
at 2am when he tweeted about a pop-up concert there. Police had to call backup
to control and disperse the crowd, because it was so huge. Due to the size
of the crowd, Kanye called off the concert. Which sent said crowd into a frenzy.
All of this just going to prove that, apparently, a LOT of
people in NYC had no idea Kanye was anything but an Internet celeb and very clearly have never actually seen or heard him sing before.
@JK_Rowling, according to Us Weekly, says people angry at the casting of a black
woman for her Harry Potter character Hermione (in an upcoming stage play) must
be racist. I have an alternative take: Maybe, just maybe, some of those people saw one or two of those Harry Potter
movies and are just used to a white person in the role and think that it’s
stunt casting and/or a way to shoehorn in some (much-needed) diversity in a
group of characters Rowling herself wrote as very, very, very white.
Ah, but, according to USA Today, Rowling says "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione."
But Rowling herself was an executive producer on the films and repeatedly told fans at the time that the films were very faithful to her books. Apparently, Rowling has become such a prolific writer, she's been able to rewrite history!
Admitted lothario, ladykiller and professional God impersonator, Morgan Freeman, told a crowd at a TV producers’ conference that his female producing partner “doesn’t want to be thought of as a pretty face … but you can’t get away from [her] short dresses.” This according to The Hollywood Reporter.
For that and other comments, we’ve officially awarded Freeman the 2016 Bill Cosby Skeeviness Award. Please be sure to congratulate one-time big-screen president with the hashtag #2016BillCosbyAward.

@PaulFeig, director of the new female Ghostbusters movie, said that the Ghostbusters haters are misogynistic. Many, many of their comments surely are. But an unfunny trailer remains unfunny. We've an example of a FUNNY female cast movie trailer -- Feig just might recognize it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNppLrmdyug
As a bonus, here’re some other female-focused movie trailers, also funny:
RELATED!: @JuddApatow says: #Ghostbusters haters are @realDonaldTrump supporters.
It’s weird that Apatow assumes they know how to turn on a computer.
In response to Apatow, Twitterers tweeted links to all of Apatow's funny movies:
Huh. Yeah, weird...We can't see any links either.
