Paras Griffin/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Will Smith doesn’t seem to be a fan of jokes about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement” with August Alsina.
On Wednesday, the Bad Boys actor shared an Instagram clip showing what jumping rope looks like from the rope’s point of view. While many joked that the video made them dizzy, one user took the video as an opportunity to make a witty comment and wrote, “Ok don’t get entangled” with a laughing-crying emoji.
Smith appeared amused by the joke, but made it clear that it won’t be tolerated on his page when he replied, “Hahaha… Okay… I can admit it. That’s Funny! I’m definitely gonna block you. But the joke was Very Funny!”
The joke stems from a recent episode of Red Table Talk in which Jada referred to her relationship with Alsina (while separated from Will) as an “entanglement.” Her use of the word has since sparked a new community of jokes and memes.
The theater chain had planned to open July 15 stateside, but later moved that date to July 30, with the thought that the chain would “essentially [shift] to full operation by early August.”
However, the moving of two major releases — Mulan and Tenet — coupled with a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Texas, Florida, Arizona and other states, led the chain to decide to remain closed.
Warner Bros. announced last week it was moving its release Tenet from July to a date yet determined, and Disney said its live-action version of Mulan would now open August 21 instead of July 24 — and that later date could change further still.
AMC/Jace Downs(LOS ANGELES) — AMC scored a major victory on Wednesday in its battle with The Walking Dead co-creator, Robert Kirkman over profits from the series.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel J. Buckley ruled AMC was entitled to define “modified adjusted gross receipts” under the terms of its contracts with profit participants, according to Variety.
The suit, filed in 2017 by Kirkman and three of the show’s producers alleged that AMC used corporate accounting and deals among its various related companies to avoid payouts on profit sharing and licensing agreements.
An earlier suit, brought by co-creator Frank Darabont, who was fired as an executive producer during The Walking Dead‘s second season seeks $280 million in payments. That case, filed in 2013, is set to go to trial next year, according to the industry trade.
AMC’s lead attorney, Orin Snyder, applauded the ruling in a statement obtained by Variety, writing in part, “Today’s decision is a total victory for AMC. The judge found in AMC’s favor on all seven issues that were presented at trial and confirmed that AMC honored its contracts and paid Mr. Kirkman and the other plaintiffs what they were owed.”
“We are now turning our attention to the trial in New York — which involves very similar claims by CAA and Frank Darabont — secure in the knowledge that the first court to hold a trial on these issues ruled completely in AMC’s favor.”
The Los Angeles case will hear the remaining issues, unless the parties can resolve their dispute out of court.
(NEW YORK) — There are three systems from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean that could threaten the U.S. with tropical rain and wind.
The most imminent storm is tropical depression eight, which is forecast to become Tropical Storm Hanna. It is forecast to bring heavy rain and flash flooding to Texas.
Because this storm is expected to become Tropical Storm Hanna in the next 24 hours, a tropical storm watch has been issued from Houston to Corpus Christi, Texas, and down to near the Mexican coast.
The system will be slow moving, so flash flooding will be the biggest threat in Texas and the west Gulf Coast. However, this weak storm system is not expected to be particularly strong and winds won’t be the biggest threat.
More than 6 inches of rain is possible in some areas.
Tropical Storm Gonzalo is currently packing winds at 65 mph as it heads east toward the eastern Caribbean islands.
It is expected to become a hurricane later Thursday and continue strengthening as it nears Grenada, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago by Saturday afternoon.
Hurricane force winds will reach near 80 mph with higher gusts possible. Flash flooding will be the biggest threat on these eastern Caribbean islands this weekend.
After that, it is still uncertain where Gonzalo will go from there and how strong it will be, but the latest path takes it south of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic Sunday night into Monday morning.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Douglas, a major Category 3 storm, is packing winds of 120 mph.
This is the first major hurricane of the season in the eastern Pacific.
It is expected to strengthen somewhat in the next 24 hours and then weaken as it heads for Hawaii.
The current Hurricane Douglas track takes the storm’s path toward Hawaii by Saturday night.
The biggest threat in Hawaii will be flash flooding and mudslides this weekend.
(NEW YORK) — The 2020 MLB season officially kicks off Thursday night after being put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
America’s national pastime, however, will look and sound much different than what we’re used to. For one, the regular season will be reduced from 162 games to 60. There will also be no fans in the stands.
ABC News’ Good Morning America reported on the changes baseball fans can expect from the shortened season:
MLB’s Opening Night will feature two games: the New York Yankees vs. the Washington Nationals, and the San Francisco Giants vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers.
