Jay Ellis Reveals He Was Slapped by Angry ‘Insecure’ Fan

Image
Taking it too far? While most fans ask for a photo or an autograph when they meet their favorite celebrities, some people have extreme reactions to seeing stars in the flesh. “Good morning to everyone except for the lady that slapped me in the face at the airport because she got mad at Lawrence for something he did in season 3,” Insecure ‘s Jay Ellis wrote on Twitter in January 2022. The actor played the on-and-off love interest of Issa ( Issa Rae ) throughout the show’s run and their tumultuous relationship clearly struck a cord with this particular viewer. Of course, Ellis is far from the only celebrity to experience a physical reaction from fans. In an October 2010 interview with dos.ca, Selena Gomez recalled a young fan who attempted to make a move when he spotted her in a movie theater. “A kid bursts into the room [and said,] ‘Selena I’m coming to talk to you’ and like runs up to me and tries to kiss me,” the “Come and Get It” singer recalled. “It was so cute because he was ...

Image
Mari Pepin-Solis and Kenny Braasch were one of three couples who ended season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise with an engagement, but their road to happiness came with a few speed bumps. When the season began in August 2021, the boy band manager was immediately attracted to the former beauty queen, who made her Bachelor Nation debut during Matt James ‘ season of The Bachelor . At first, the duo seemed like one of the strongest couples on the beach, but things hit a snag when Mari told Kenny that she wanted to keep her options open. “Initially, we had a conversation about not going on dates with other people [and] it wasn’t shown,” the Puerto Rico native recalled during a September episode of the “Click Bait” podcast. “And then after sleeping on it a little bit, after getting some opinions [and] advice — I talked to Wells [Adams] a little bit and I asked him, ‘When do couples usually start to become more exclusive?’ And he said not until, like, week three or four usually.” At that po...

Sundance Festival 2022: 'Jeen-yuhs' and More of the Buzziest Movies

Image
Sigh. We were oh-so close to spotting Kanye West stomping around in snow boots on Main Street. But just a few weeks before the Sundance Film Festival was scheduled to kick off in Park City, Utah, plans got scrapped because of you-know-what . Long gone are the days of celebrities popping into random screenings — fun fact: I once caught James Franco dozing off during a documentary about Scientology — and rationalizing a meal of popcorn and diet Coke for breakfast and chatting to strangers on the local bus about the cool new movie you saw. So, for the second consecutive year, festivalgoers will hit the couch instead of the back of the line to watch the very best of independent cinema. A major disappointment, for sure. And yet, Sundance alums such as Promising Young Woman , Get Out , Eighth Grade , Call Me By Your Name and 2021’s stand-outs Coda and Summer of Soul shine on a screen of any size. The biggest difference, of course, is that Taylor Swift isn’t going ...

But if it were me, I probably would retire, too, if it gave me more time to watch  Emily in Paris . I really think for Tom right now, it’s just a tough decision between balancing his career and relationships , sort of like Emily.” Manning continued: “Sure, watching football was the safe thing to do. That’s what everyone expected me to do, but if I’ve learned anything from  Emily , it’s to follow my passions and always be true to myself. ” Peyton Ma...

Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Scandal: A Full Timeline

Image
Arguably no halftime show has ever been as memorable as Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake ‘s February 2004 performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII. The show was a relatively standard halftime concert until the final moment when the “Mirrors” singer ripped off part of Jackson’s costume, revealing her mostly uncovered right breast. Seen by more than 150 million viewers, the incident led to years of backlash and inspired a new wave of censorship across all forms of media. On the night of the performance, both Jackson and Timberlake reacted with surprise before the broadcast cut to commercial. In the days following the game, however, there were many conflicting reports about whether the reveal was really an accident. At the time, the Poetic Justice star took most of the public blame, but some fans have always wondered why she shouldered the responsibility when so many other people were involved in producing the show. Regardless of who or what caused the “wardrobe malfunction” — a now-co...
