Kylie Jenner flamed online for giving just $5,000 for injured colleague

No Comments Entertainment News

Toni Anne Barson/WireImage(LOS ANGELES) — Kylie Jenner’s entrepreneurial skills have netted her nearly a billion bucks, which is why she got flamed by followers for only forking over $5,000 to a makeup artist who suffered brain injuries in a serious car wreck. 

Celebrity make-up artist Samuel Rauda remains in the hospital following a crash last month, and is facing surgeries and skyrocketing hospital bills, so a GoFundMe was set up to help him. 

The goal amount was initially set for $10,000 — it has since been bumped to $120,000 — but people called foul when Kylie dropped in just $5K, and in an Instagram story asked followers to donate to do their part.

One Twitter user wrote, “wait so kylie jenner’s make up artist got into a car accident and needed $60k for emergency brain surgery and she asked her fans to donate???? and then only donated $5,000 when she’s a literal billionaire? the wrong people have money.”

Another posted, “I know Kylie Jenner ain’t asking me for $60,000 for her make up artist’s brain surgery.. meanwhile sis makes over $450,000 a day.”

As of Monday morning, Rauda’s GoFundMe had received more than $99,000 in donations.

ABC/Heidi Gutman(NEW YORK) — (NOTE LANGUAGE) For those missing the live movie theater experience, head on over to Leslie Jones’ twitter feed to watch her hilarious reaction to Wonder Woman kicking butt in Zack Snyder’s Justice League

In an often foul-mouthed commentary that got “Leslie Jones” trending on Twitter, the Saturday Night Live alumna recorded the scene on her iPhone as she screams her satisfaction at Gal Gadot’s character dispatching a room full of terrorists.

“I’ve ALWAYS wanted to throw a man against the wall like that!” was one of the rare printable comments. 

Jones captioned the post, “I love Wonder Woman!” followed by the hashtag “#LongA**Movie,” poking fun at the HBO Max release’s 4 hour, two-minute run time.

Jones already has a rep for her hilarious live-tweeting of events including Game of Thrones episodes and the 2018 Winter Olympics, the latter of which earned her a gig on NBC’s coverage team.

No Comments Country Music News

ABCCountry singer Lauren Alaina is on the mend after announcing she recently tested positive for COVID-19.

The “Getting Good” singer announced on Twitter Saturday that, in light of her diagnosis, she would have to pull out of a scheduled appearance at an upcoming acoustic show.

“I am so sad to say I will not be at the acoustic show in Lexington, Kentucky tonight,” Alaina, 26, wrote. “I tested positive for COVID yesterday. I am quarantining and trying to get better!”

The Dancing with the Stars finalist continued, “Please know I can’t wait to be back – when it is safe for all of us.”

“I am so disappointed I won’t be at the show, but it may help cheer me up a bit if you go and send me videos and pictures,” encouraged Alaina, asking her fans to show up in support of the other acts taking to the stage — such as John Pardi and Jordan Davis.

The “One Beer” singer took to her Instagram stories over the weekend to open up about her COVID-19 symptoms, explaining she has ” a little bit of shortness of breath, a really bad headache, no taste or smell, pretty bad congestion and I feel pretty tired.”

“Some people have it way worse than me,” added Alaina, saying she is now “resting up” and focusing on getting better.

Director confirms R-rated version of 'Mrs. Doubtfire' exists: "It was outrageously funny material"

No Comments Entertainment News

VINCE BUCCI/AFP via Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — A rated-R version of Mrs. Doubtfire is not an urban legend after all.  The movie’s director, Chris Columbus, confirmed the shocking news in a recent interview.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Columbus says the only reason that an adult version Mrs. Doubtfire exists is because the movie’s star, the late Robin Williams, cracked one too many jokes her had to leave on the cutting room floor.

The director furthered that multiple versions of the 1993 film exist, all due to Williams’ penchant for improv.

“There was a deal between Robin and myself, which was, he’ll do one or two, three scripted takes. And then he would say, ‘Then let me play,'” Columbus reflected. “And we would basically go on anywhere between 15 to 22 takes, I think 22 being the most I remember.”

The director said the gifted comedian would come up with a new version of the scene with each take, with some lines being more risqué than others.

“He would sometimes go into territory that wouldn’t be appropriate for a PG-13 movie, but certainly appropriate and hilariously funny for an R-rated film,” he laughed, estimating that “three or four versions of the film” exist because of the reshoots. 

“I would be open to maybe doing a documentary about the making of the film, and enabling people to see certain scenes re-edited in an R-rated version,” Columbus winked and expressed openness to getting that footage out of the vault.

“The problem is, I don’t recall most of it. I only know what’s in the movie at this point because it’s been a long time,” he confessed. “But I do remember it was outrageously funny material.”

However, before #ReleaseTheColumbusCut starts trending, a la Justice League‘s recent fan-spurred “Snyder Cut” rebirth, Columbus maintains the theatrical version of the movie is “the definitive cut,” which he says he’s “very proud of.”
