Screen Shot 2016-08-01 at 12.10.06 PM

The classic Tom Hanks/Darryl Hannah mermaid flick Splash is getting a gender-flipped remake. In the new version, Channing Tatum plays a hot merman who learns about life and love on the surface world from Jillian Bell (of 22 Jump Street and Workaholics fame).

Says Deadline:

Imagine’s Ron Howard and Brian Grazer will produce along with Channing Tatum and Free Association’s Reid Carolin and Peter Kieran. Imagine’s Anna Culp will be executive producer. There might be some inevitable groaning about Hollywood running out of fresh ideas, but the twist on this fish tale sounds like a smart way of breathing life into a movie that came out 32 years ago and has a story strong enough to be reintroduced to a new audience.

Channing Tatum as a shirtless half-man/half-fish? I’m totally there. And maybe he can be decked out in some of those super-fab mermaid crowns that are ALL THE RAGE.

Paris Hilton Is Desperately Worried ISIS Will Target Her

International DJ and social gadabout Paris Hilton is worried that she is a target for ISIS terrorists who want to kill high-profile westerners.

“I’m a famous person who could be a definite target for an attack and that is something that sometimes terrifies me”

In a recent interview with the Ibiza island daily Diario de Ibiza, Paris shared her thoughts about the recent terror attacks in France and Germany which, she says, have made her “watch her back.”

When asked if she felt safe when she travelled, she answered:

“What’s happening is horrible. The recent attacks in Nice and Germany are terrible. It’s something that disgusts and worries me. I travel a lot and I get frightened when I think about things like this.

“I’m constantly moving around from one country to another and I’m a famous person who could be a definite target for an attack and that is something that sometimes terrifies me. But I’m also a very free person who tries not to be afraid of anything. I just make sure I always watch my back.

“I always go out alone and without security. Many celebs have ten bodyguards but I like to go out with my friends and be normal because I want to be like everyone else. I’m not going to give up anything.”

Well, Paris, you SHOULD always watch your back. We all should. And yes, live your live and try to be normal. Nothing odd there.

She did, however, go on to laud Republican candidate Donald Trump, describing him as a “good friend” of her dad and an “extraordinary businessman.” She insisted:

“Donald is a very famous person who is in the eye of the storm.

“I don’t know who will win the elections but I just want it to be the best person, whoever it is.”

So, there’s that.

Shannen Doherty’s Cancer Has Spread: “The Unknown Is the Scariest Part”

’90s icon Shannen Doherty – who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of last year and recently documented the process of shaving her head on Instagram for her fans – has revealed that her cancer has spread.

“I had breast cancer that spread to the lymph nodes, and from one of my surgeries we discovered that some of the cancer cells might have actually gone out of the lymph nodes,” Doherty said. “So for that reason, we are doing chemo, and then after chemo, I’ll do radiation.”

Doherty, who had a mastectomy in May, also opened up about her biggest fears throughout her battle.

“The unknown is always the scariest part,” she said. “Is the chemo going to work? Is the radiation going to work? You know, am I going to have to go through this again, or am I going to get secondary cancer? Everything else is manageable. Pain is manageable, you know, living without a breast is manageable. It’s the worry of your future and how your future is going to affect the people that you love.”

”I’m being so personal right now, but I think a lot of women can probably go, ‘Yeah, I’ve been through that.’ It’s great, though, you get to pick out what size you want,” she told ET, noting that her doctor “didn’t want me to wake up with absolutely nothing” after her mastectomy, so he put an expander in to give her a “tiny something there.”

The actress was surprised at how emotional she got when getting fitted for a new bra.

“It was traumatic and horrible, and I didn’t think anything of it at the time, then my mom went with me and I broke down crying in the dressing room and ran out,” she said. “And then sat in the car crying.”

Doherty hopes that by sharing her personal journey, she can help other women realize they’re not struggling alone.

“I wanted to put it out there the way it felt the best for me to put it out there,” she added. “And also, if I could help one person, then it makes me go, ‘Oh, OK.’ It’s easier to live with having cancer if I know I’m helping at least one person.” (via HuffPo)

#RIP: Syrian Child Star, Qusai Abtini, Killed in Missile Strike

Fourteen-year-old Syrian child actor Qusai Abtini was killed when the car in which he was traveling in was struck by a missile, that may or may not have targeted him.

He rose to fame on a sitcom Umm Abdou the Aleppan that is described as being like I Love Lucy, with a housewife who gets into shenanigans and bickers with her husband, except children played all the roles. It is the first sitcom produced out of rebel-held parts of Syria, and ran nearly 30 episodes, each about 10 minutes long, on the opposition station Halab Today TV. It was filmed in the city of Aleppo, which has been subjected to almost daily bombardment, and often overtly dealt with political issues.

Bashar Sakka, the director, said he cast kids because children are the witnesses to “the massacres committed by Assad against childhood.”

“Qusai was a very talented boy,” Sakka told The Associated Press. “We were looking for an intelligent boy,” he said from southern Turkey via Skype. “We wanted him to be free with ideas, and without fear of Bashar Assad‘s regime and its ruthlessness.”

During a recent bombing, his home was hit and his father was wounded, left bound to a wheelchair. Two weeks ago, his father decided to send his children out of Aleppo to keep them safe.

As Abtini’s car left the rebel-held parts of Aleppo, a missile struck it. It was impossible to tell whether it was a targeted or random attack.

In a video of the symbolic funeral a few days later, his father in his wheelchair watches the marchers go by, holding a placard reading, “Qusai, Abu Abdu the Aleppan. You are a little hero. You scared the regime with your giant acts so they killed you.” (via AP)

He became a child actor who rose to local celebrity depicting the traumas of rebel-held areas of his home city, Aleppo. In the end, the 14-year-old boy fell victim to those traumas. His life and death underscored the suffering of Aleppans, whose city was once the commercial center of Syria but has since become one of the most grueling battlegrounds of the civil war.

Tom Goss’ New Video “All My Life” Will Hit You In The Tuesday Feels

What Doesn't Break Cover

WOWPresents Network creator Tom Goss’s new album “What Doesn’t Break” is available today! And to celebrate, he dropped his first single, “All My Life” and if you’ve ever had your heart broken, than it’s sure to hit you in your Tuesday feels.

CHECK it out:

The 10-track album, the sixth CD to be released by the LGBT singer-songwriter, marks a new chapter in Goss’s career. The project was a close collaboration with producer Marr Zimm, who built upon vocal and guitar tracks recorded by Goss in LA while he traveled the US on a circus train. Zimm tapped his fellow circus musicians for horns, guitars, vocals and strings.
It’s a fitting creative process for an album infused with a sense of restlessness wandering, a sonic circus that is by turns joyous and dark, celebratory and disturbing. The album was written during an emotionally turbulent year of transition for Goss, who moved to LA after a decade in Washington DC, and celebrates resilience and growth. Along with Goss’s trademark love songs, “What Doesn’t Break” includes a range of songs that are anything but romantic. “Someone Else” is a hard-hitting, go f-yourself rocker; “Wake Alive” and “In For It” are anthemic power ballads celebrating jumping in with both feet; “Holes in the Wall,” tells a somber tale of a dissolving relationship, with a light style that belies its heartbreaking story; while “Thirteen” and “Mama” finds Goss at his most vulnerable, honest and confessional. All in all, it’s Goss’s most musically and thematically complex release to date.
“I really was hesitant to release these songs. Not because I didn’t believe in their worth, but because I was afraid of the truth I was revealing. I’ve spent years releasing songs that projected the person I want to be, while neglecting the other person that sometimes shows up in front of me. This record speaks to my greatest failures and regrets, it acknowledges the darkest and least lovable side of me, and then embraces it, loving it all the same.” 
Goss has recorded a new music video to launch the album — an emotional performance of “All My Life,” a sad and tender ballad to release August 2nd alongside the record release. A second video, for the hopeful “More Than Temporary,” is in the works.
The album’s mixture of somber and playful extends to the its design. The packaging, which features stark photos of Goss by fashion photographer Venfield8, was designed by Goss to contain a hidden message for his fans.
Goss is planning a tour in support of the new album, and has announced dates in DC (8/7), New York (8/13), and Los Angeles (8/25). For a complete list of tour dates, go to www.tomgossmusic.com

I’m telling you, I haven’t been THIS excited for a TV musical since, um, Grease Live! a few months ago.

“I’m not joking. This isn’t a troll. This isn’t some kind of prank” states Michael Kittrell aka “Angry Ginger” of Hollywood Hillbillies fame. Michael tells TMZ she is now transitioning and is going by the name Claire.

From TMZ:

Kittrell says she’s been undergoing hormone therapy for several months. We spoke to her about going public, and the reality of her announcement she’s transgender — many people will think this is just an Internet stunt.

Claire says “the trans community is going through so much” it would be so “dark” thing for anyone to make a joke out of something so painful to so many people.

“I’m not out to hurt to anyone.” she assures everyone.

She does admit her own grandmother isn’t fully buying this yet, but adds there was a good sign Tuesday Mema‘s starting to come around. She also hasn’t told Apple Johnny (I don’t know what any of this means) because Apple Johnny is a “manly man” and so she hasn’t called or texted.

Continues Claire:

“I’ve still been wearing shirts. I haven’t yet gone out in a dress. I don’t feel comfortable, my body isn’t formed that well. I’ve oily been on HRT for the last four or five months. You don’t get that many difference in four or five months. It takes about a year before you can see significant effects…. for the fat to move… “

Welcome to the world, Claire! *Big Hug* from everybody at World of Wonder!

Michael Douglas’ Son Cameron Released from Prison

It’s a rather sad and sordid tale. Back in 2009, Michael Douglas‘s son Cameron was arrested at a hotel in Manhattan for possessing heroin and dealing crystal meth. After posting bail, he almost immediately violated the terms of house arrest and was sent to jail to await sentencing. The charges carried a mandatory 10 years in prison but his lawyers argued for a shorter term.

On the eve of his son’s sentencing, Michael asked the judge to show leniency, saying the family’s fame and history of substance abuse contributed to his descent into addiction and crime. He was sentenced to five years.

He then, sadly, had drugs smuggled into prison when he couldn’t quit cold turkey, and received an additional time. After he failed a drug test behind bars in 2013, Cameron’s sentence was AGAIN extended by four and and half years, two of which were spent in solitary confinement.

“Cameron has been a chronic substance abuser,” Michael told New York magazine in 2013. “He was kicked out of school for dealing pot when he was 13, and that’s when I became aware of his problems.” Cameron ultimately became addicted to heroin, sold crystal meth and got caught in a Drug Enforcement Administration sting.

At one point, Cameron’s family was barred against seeing him for two years, which Michael Douglas referenced in his 2013 Emmy acceptance speech for Behind the Candelabra.

“I’m hoping they’ll allow me to see him soon,” said Douglas from the stage.

“Obviously, at first, I was certainly disappointed in my son. But I’ve reached a point now where I’m very disappointed with the system,” he said. “My last comment on that is the United States represents 5 percent of the world’s population and we have 25 percent of the world’s prisoners.”

Things went from bad to worse for Cameron in prison.

In 2012, he suffered a broken femur (that’s your THIGHBONE) (!!!!) (an INCREDIBLY difficult bone to break) (and one of the most painful breaks a person can suffer). This happened after a crime-family captain put a $100 bounty on him for being a “rat.”

From a 2012 New York Post article:

“He broke his femur, which is hard to snap, and had to have a rod inserted,” says the source. “He told health services staff that he hurt them playing handball. You don’t break a femur playing handball.”

Douglas, who is doing a nearly 10-year stretch for dealing crystal meth and smuggling in drugs for himself while in the pokey, was inadvertently exposed as a turncoat by his shrink during a bail hearing in 2010.

Dr. Robert Millman let slip that Douglas agreed to testify against his suppliers, Mexican immigrant brothers David and Eduardo Escalera.

The prison tipster says a doctor’s aide misdiagnosed the broken leg and a blood clot developed.

“She thought it was a sprain, so he wants to sue this woman. He’s still walking around on crutches two months later.”

Father Michael Douglas was furious over the allegedly botched medical treatment for his son, said the source.

No one has been punished for Douglas’ injuries, but most prisoners assume they resulted from the alleged bounty, the source says.

The gangster allegedly involved “is the self-proclaimed ‘King of the Italians.’ They won’t tolerate rats, and Cameron testified against the people who gave him the drugs.”

The insider says that the pampered, baby-faced Douglas has “gone gangster” in the joint, reshaping himself by pumping iron and getting prison tattoos.

But, he’s out now. Though his initial release was supposed to be in 2018, he is now living in a halfway house in Brooklyn.

Here’s hoping he can start anew and lead a productive life, post-prison.

My Kristen Wiig Reaction To Racist Miss Teen USA Karlie Hay’s Apology

Miss Teen USA’s current reigning queen (and real-life proof that you can say crazy racist stuff if you’re a white girl AND hey! We’ll let you keep the tiara too!), Karlie Hay, issued a (cringe-worthy) apology on Good Morning America today that will leave you feeling like Kristen Wiig’s drunken interpretation of messy Cinderella.

Let’s do this, hunties:

abc_george_stephanopoulos_2_dm_120124_wmain
In a sit-down with GMA’s George Stephanopoulos, George states that what people want most from Hay is a formal apology.

To which she starts out saying: “Yes, I am very sorry and embarrassed…and ashamed…and I’ve grown up from that fifteen year old girl who used that type of language.”

Initial reaction: Type? Is there a particular type of racism? I didn’t know there were particular classifications for whether you’re a dumb racist or a dumbass racist? Like, it’s the “N” word. It’s not a specific “type” of language.

kk3
NOW, if she could speak Parseltongue, I would tip my witches’ hat to her.

HarryParseltongue
She goes on to say: “it hurts me…”

Initial reaction: Oh, oh, let’s make this MORE about you.

kk1
She continues with: “At one point in my life I used that language and I know that wasn’t me.”

And I’m like: But. You…said…it?

kk2
I digress. She goes on to say: “At that age, I was being a follower and I was trying to fit in with my friends and it was the type of music we listened to and I had no guidance.”

Me: What. Kind. Of. Reverse. Responsibility. Is. THIS?!

kk4
She continues: “When that tweet came up I was kind of amazed.”

And I’m like: Ohhhhhhhh…you are? Are you?

karliekristen
She continues: “I’ve grown since then. I’ve blossomed.”

And I’m all: DON’T BRING BLOSSOM INTO THIS!

kk7

Seriously?!

Blossom -- Season 1 -- Pictured: Mayim Bialik as Blossom Russo -- Photo by: Alice S. Hall/NBCU Photo Bank

And then she concludes with: “I’ve learned through every obstacle that you can turn a negative into a positive and that hopefully others will learn from my mistake of using this type of language.”

OK  but: WILL. YOU. STOP. SAYING. “THIS. TYPE!”

kk5
Seriously, stop.

Although it was heartfelt and sweet, I DO believe the right thing STILL to do would be to take her crown away. Especially in our current dystopic future: the terrifying levity and potential that Trump could become our president is weighing heavily on us everyday. From his day-to-day hate speech to his loyal army of hate-skanks. We have trans women of color dying every day from violence and police brutality. Black lives slain in the streets for “traffic violations.” Alton Sterling, Philandro Castile, and the Black Lives Matter movement…By taking her crown and title away, it would show that the organization and the representation of OUR 2016 (the Obamas have been our BEST first family, EVER! I’m not even gonna let you argue me on that), it would reflect a time that doesn’t tolerate ignorance (whether or not the person is sorry NOW, mind you), and show that in order to create real change, we have to show it. And sometimes, the way you show it is by holding people accountable for their words and actions.

This post is approved by:

giphy-4

To conclude, here’s this vintage moment to remind Hay about apologizing:

Oh, and:

GIRL, BYE!

Sure, things seem pretty bleak right now. There’s global warming to worry about… terrorists… Donald Trump… How many times in the last 24 hours ALONE have you thought “we’re all fucking doomed”? But that’s really not the case, argues Jim Behrle, a columnist at The Awl. The world is no more or less fucked up than it’s ever been, we’re just more hyper-aware of it. And things are actually pretty chill, if you think about it.

From his column:

I think things are actually pretty OK. There is no black plague going around. We haven’t had a World War in a while. I was pretty sure we were all going to die of Thermonuclear War in the 1980s. That’s been a pleasant surprise that that hasn’t happened yet.

We are certainly more aware of the things that are not OK in the world. Thanks to 24-hour cable news and Twitter and endless political Facebook posts, we know every stupid thing that happens everywhere almost instantaneously.

And, perhaps more than ever, if you want to know how the Political Sausage is made you can watch it as it slowly oozes through the gears. There used to be a glossier package on our bad ideas. American Politics may have gotten a little more brass-knuckled, but there’s just nothing right this moment in the USA that is the worst it has ever been. Except maybe our literacy level.
Some things are downright great. They didn’t have any Games of Thrones back in the day. Harry Potter’s got a new book out. It’s a play, but it’s still Harry Potter. Have you tried Pokemon Go? That is pretty cool, as long as you don’t walk into a telephone pole.

Sure, maybe we have more mass shootings than we’ve ever had. But those are probably a fad. Like planking. Do you remember planking? No, nobody does. And nobody planks any more. We can send naked pictures to each other that disappear after a couple of seconds, put dog faces on our regular faces in photos, share things with thousands of people around the world instantly. My TV is crystal clear. We get to hear all kinds of music instantly, whenever we feel like it. I’m typing this naked on my toilet, not seated at a giant typewriter, pecking away.

So, just settle down. We haven’t been conquered by terrorists, there are no bread lines we have to stand in all day to get like two slices of bread. There’s a new Jason Bourne movie out. Things could be a lot worse. We didn’t get bird flu or ebola, there are no roving bands of radioactive monkeys (unfortunately, yet). What are you complaining about? You feel like you lack connections in the universe? You yearn for a mythical time when everything was simpler? There was no time when everything was simpler.

As you get older you get nostalgic for stupid bullshit, but that’s just because you’re getting soft. Don’t blame the world because you feel like everything is slipping away. Humans live for a while and then die, and before they die they yearn for the good-time comforts of yesteryear. Pull up a rocking chair, grandpop. And enjoy the ride as you bustle towards your own irrelevance. I will probably still be naked on the toilet when you get there.

Now don’t you feel a little better?

Man Hides Cocaine Stash In His…. Well, You’re Just Going to Have to Read the Article

In Swindon, UK, police were called to a furniture store after getting calls of a man shouting and disturbing customers in the parking lot. That’s where they discovered cutie-patootie Joshua Hare, STARK NAKED and causing a fuss. They promptly arrested him, and took him into custody. Once in jail, they began to notice… wait for it…  wait for it… “a baggie containing white powder ‘emerging‘ from his foreskin.”

Yes, with his impending arrest and few options available, Joshua hid his coke stash in his penis tip – 7.2 grams of the stuff, in fact.

HuffPo, not surprisingly, had an absolute field day with the story.

“Hiding cocaine in your foreskin?” they wrote. “Now that takes balls.”

And:

“It’s not a stretch to say that a foreskin isn’t the first place one would think of hiding drugs.”

Oh ha ha ha ha.

From the rest of the story:

Hare’s attorney, Nick Redhead, told the court that his client is homeless and has a troubled background, substance abuse problems, possible mental health issues and suffered kidney issues when in police custody earlier this year after being arrested for aggravated taking of a vehicle without consent, reported the Swindon Advertiser.

“He fell into a coma and thought he was going to die,” Redhead said. “The damage to him as such is he is a high risk of killing himself if he continues to misuse alcohol. He has managed to stay away from alcohol pretty much.”

Prosecutor Keith Ballinger said Hare was last in court in May to answer the vehicle theft charges and was given a suspended sentence at that time, according to reported the Sunday World.

On Tuesday, Hare pleaded guilty to both the drug charge and failing to surrender to bail, according to Metro.

Redhead hoped magistrates would take his client’s troubled background into consideration when sentencing his client.

As punishment, the Swindon Magistrates’ Court activated the 12-week suspended sentence he had been given in May, according to the Sun.
