No Comments Entertainment News

Marvel Studios(LOS ANGELES) — Michael B. Jordan says he is still healing from losing Black Panther co-star Chadwick Boseman and explained how strongly the loss affected him.

Speaking to  for its “Hollywood Issue,” the 33-year-old actor opened up about his friendship with Boseman and how it continues to influence his life.

“Our relationship was a very personal one and had a lot of great moments—some that I couldn’t fully appreciate and fully understand until now,” said Jordan. “I wish I had more time to have our relationship evolve, and grow, and become closer and stronger.”

“We got a concentrated dose of Chadwick. He did more in his 43 years of life than most people have done in a lifetime,” the Creed star furthered. “he was here for the time he was supposed to be here, and he had his impact, and his legacy. That was clear with the abundance of love that he has gotten from people all over the world.”

Noting the “generations of kids” who will continue to look up to the late actor, Jordan says losing Boseman was one of the hardest moments of his life.

“it hurt. It hurt a lot. That’s probably what made me cry the most this year,” the Emmy Award-nominee confessed.

Boseman passed away on August 28 after a silent four-year battle with colon cancer, of which Jordan expressed, “To keep something like this quiet for so long—our town is nearly impossible to do something like that in. It speaks to the type of person he was, to work as hard as he did into his last moments. It’s truly incredible.”

Martha Stewart has mixed feeling feelings about #MeToo

No Comments Entertainment News

Arnold Turner/Getty Images for Netflix(LOS ANGELES) — Like many other trailblazing women, Martha Stewart has faced her share of misogyny along the way, but she says the #MeToo movement has been a complicated issue for her.

The 79-year-old lifestyle guru, who got her start by modeling in her teens and 20s and working on Wall Street in the 1960s and ’70s, tells Harper’s Bazaar that getting ahead in the business back then meant she had to tolerate a certain amount of bad behavior.

“You had to keep your cool and just do your thing, and brush them away,” she explains.

“It has been really painful for me,” she continues. “I’ve known almost every single one of the famous guys that has been accused and set aside. Some were certainly guilty of a lot of what was accused.”

However, some of the bad behavior, she suggests, was “just their awful personalities.”

“I am not going to mention their names, but I know those people very, very well, and you know the man just talks about sex during dinner,” she says, adding, “That doesn’t mean anything to me.”

The full interview appears in the March 2021 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, available March 2.

Tiger Woods "awake" and "recovering" following rollover car crash

No Comments Entertainment News

David Cannon/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Golfing legend Tiger Woods is “awake, responsive, and recovering” after a serious rollover car crash early Tuesday morning in Southern California. 

“Mr. Woods suffered significant orthopaedic injuries to his right lower extremity that were treated during emergency surgery by Orthopaedic trauma specialists at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center,” Anish Mahajan, MD, Chief Medical Officer & Interim CEO at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said in a statement late Tuesday night on Woods’ Twitter account.

He is currently recovering in his hospital room after undergoing a long surgical procedure on his lower right leg and ankle after being brought to the hospital, officials said.

Investigators will be determining if distracted driving was a factor, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. There was no evidence of impairment, he said.

“Thankfully, the interior was more or less intact, which kind of gave him the cushion to survive what otherwise would have been a fatal crash,” added Villanueva.

Woods also was wearing a seatbelt, which authorities said may have also played a part in saving his life.

Woods was going to a second day of shooting for sponsor GolfTV with New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert when the crash took place, according to ESPN.

'Spider-Man' star Tom Holland desperate not to spoil 'WandaVision' for himself

No Comments Entertainment News

Marvel Studios(NEW YORK) — Count Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, as one of the millions of people just hanging on — pardon pun — to see what happens week to week on WandaVision

In an interview with Collider, Holland says he’s “obsessed” with the Disney+ show. 

“It’s so difficult because obviously I’m on a Marvel set at the moment,” he says of a third Spider-Man film. “So all of the producers are there, and I could just go up to [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige and be like, ‘So what happens? What’s going on?’ It’s really difficult for me to not ask the questions I want the answers to, but I’m loving it.”

Holland adds, “And I think, honestly, it’s for me, my favorite Marvel thing I’ve seen, because it really makes you think about ‘What am I watching? What’s going to happen? Where are they going to take this?'”

And in a day and age when people binge full seasons at a time, Disney+ and Marvel Studios decided to mete them out once a week, something Holland also “loves.” 

The actor says, “I think it requires the caliber and the quality of the show to be better because you need to keep people engaged for a longer period of time.”

A new episode of WandaVision drops on Friday. 

Holland will next be seen in the drama film Cherry, which was a reunion with his Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo. The film opens in limited release in theaters on February 26, and March 12 on Apple TV+.

Daniel Kaluuya says he "wasn't invited" to the world premiere of 'Get Out'

No Comments Entertainment News

Samir Hussein/WireImage(LONDON) — Although his performance in the movie shot him to stardom — and earned him an Oscar nomination — Daniel Kaluuya says he wasn’t even invited to the world premiere of Get Out back in 2017. 

During a virtual appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the actor was asked to set the record straight about why he wasn’t in attendance at the event, at the Sundance Film Festival.

“That can’t be true!” Graham shouted. 

“No, they didn’t invite me, bro,” the actor replied. “They didn’t invite me.”

He explained between laughs, “I was in Atlanta because I was shooting [Black] Panther… And I cleared my schedule and I was like, ‘Yo, I really wanna do it.’ And then just didn’t get an invite.”

“So I was just in my bed when somebody texts me, ‘Oh, it’s done really well,'” Kaluuya added, laughing sarcastically. “I’m like, ‘Alright, that’s cool. That’s alright.'”

“That’s the industry, Graham!” he laughed.

Made on a shoestring budget of just over $4 million, Get Out went on to earn more than $255 million at the box office, and earn an Oscar nomination for Daniel, and a Best Director and a Best Picture nom — as well as a win in the Best Screenplay category — for writer-director Jordan Peele. 

Speaking of, there’s no bad blood between the two: Kaluuya is apparently set to re-team with Peele in a new thriller project set to debut in the summer of 2022, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Incidentally, Kaluuya also mentioned that “the streets are saying” that Black Panther 2 is happening. The actor, who played W’Kabi, added of the “incredible,” late Chadwick Boseman, “We’re gonna have to honor him,” “Give as much to his legacy as he gave to us. Because he gave us everything.”
