• No Comments • Entertainment News

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) — Pose star Indya Moore has opened their heart to launch TranSanta, an initiative to make sure transgender youth have something to celebrate this holiday. 

“I didn’t have a chimney growing up in the Bronx, or in foster care,” the 25-year-old trans star says in an Instagram post, while wearing a festive sweater and Santa hat. “My friends and I want to make sure trans kids know feel like they’re gifts to the world — because they are!”

Moore explains that kids and other young people under 24 years old who are homeless, in foster care or in families who might not be accepting of their identity, can email transsanta2020@gmail.com to find out how they can fill out their wish lists.

On the other side, those “elves” willing to provide gifts for those kids in need can check out their wish lists at TranSanta on LinkedIn.

“We just wanted to show love and connect trans youth to people who love them,” says Moore, “because there are so many people who love us and it can be so hard to know that especially this year with everything going on.”

“Jerks on Dierks?” “Biebs on Reebs?” Country stars get silly with Elf on the Shelf memes

• No Comments • Country Music News

ABC/Image Group LAYou’ve heard of “Elf on the shelf?” Now get ready for — country stars on country stars!

As the holidays near, country stars are getting in on this viral trend, which is inspired by the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon. The premise of the meme is simple: A celebrity finds another star whose name rhymes with theirs, then photoshops a tiny image of that person on top of a picture of themselves.

Reba McEntire joined the fun with a tiny image of pop star Justin Bieber perched atop her shoulder, writing “Biebs on Reebs” in the caption. Jake Owen took things a step further, photoshopping himself onto an image of rapper Drake in a boat on the water, for “Jake on Drake on a lake.”

Dierks Bentley had to get really creative for the challenge, but wound up making things even more festive in the process. The singer’s submission to the viral meme featured Harry and Marv, aka the two lowlife burglars from iconic 1990 Christmas film Home Alone.

“Jerks on Dierks…” Dierks proclaimed on Twitter, with tiny versions of the bad guys peeking out from behind his shoulder. “Rhyming is tough over here, guys.”

James Corden reveals he started a rumor that a "devastated" Meryl Streep was fired from 'Into The Woods'

• No Comments • Entertainment News

Terence Patrick/CBS ©2020 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved(LOS ANGELES) — (NOTE LANGUAGE) While reminiscing about their new musical film The Prom, Late, Late Show host James Corden revealed to his co-star Meryl Streep that he once pulled a prank on her, saying she’d been fired from a movie.

The pair starred together in the 2014 musical Into the Woods, Corden explains, and Streep’s absence one day from the set led him to start a rumor that the Oscar-winner had been canned.

“Everyone was devastated,” Corden recalled.

For her part, Streep says she’d never heard that rumor before, but admitted now it made sense to her that, “they were really glad to see me the next day I was on set.” 

However, Corden said he couldn’t have pulled it off without his accomplice, co-star Christine Baranski.

“As soon as I winked at Baranski, she just went into, ‘Meryl is devastated,” Corden said, imitating the Good Fight star. 

“Oh, she’s an evil bit**, she really is,” Streep joked, before admitting they all had actually had a wonderful time on the musical’s set.

For the record, Streep says she’s never been fired from a job — only “from relationships.”

The Prom, an adaptation of the popular based-on-real-life Broadway show of the same name, is now on Netflix.
