Idris Elba’s Schedule Is Too Busy To Be In Next Bond Film

Sigh.

Everyone was so excited to see our favorite British ting Idris Elba as the first Black James Bond, but those dreams were crushed when Idris signed his contract for the next season of his show Luther on BBC. The schedule conflicts that would occur between his role as a detective on the series and him being 007 are too much to handle–he essentially turned down the movie by signing on for Luther.

There’s a million and one candidates for the next installment of the Bond franchise, but many thought Elba would be the perfect candidate. There’s no reports on whether the filmmakers will keep in their direction of trying to cast the first Black man to play James Bond or if Idris pulling out ruined those hopes of progress.

This is the 25th Bond film to be released and the filmmakers are hoping to get it into theaters by the end of 2018, with or without Idris.

People In Majorca Took Pictures With A Morgan Freeman “Look-A-Like”

A man named Norman recently went on a vacation to the Spanish Island of Majorca. Apparently, everywhere Norman ventured on the island, people (you know, white people) flocked to take pictures with him, thinking he was Morgan Freeman. Yikes.

Instagram Photo

Not only did resort goers and other vacationers think that this man who slightly resembles Morgan Freeman was actually Morgan Freeman, but the club he went to did too. They put up a picture of the actor on the screen with a caption that read, “Morgan Freeman in the house. Buy him a drink if you see him”

Apparently Norman was nice to everybody who asked to take pictures with him and just laughed off all of the encounters. The poor guy was just trying to enjoy a solo vacation, and now he’s a celebrity. Hopefully people really treated the man to some drinks on his night out.

Salute, Norman.

The “Cash Me Outside” Teen Pleads Guilty To Multiple Charges

Danielle Bregoli Peskowitz and her Caucasian mama marched into a Florida court today to plead guilty to multiple charges she racked up before her famous Dr. Phil episode. One of the charges is filing a false police report on her mother, where she accused her of using heroine. The other charges she plead guilty to are grand theft and possession of marijuana, according to WPTV reports.

A judge will sentence Danielle at a hearing next month while her father, Ira Peskowitz, continues to fight for her custody. He says the 14-year-olds lifestyle is inappropriate. Apparently, she has a whole “management” team and it is out here flexing from coast to coast.

Neither Danielle, nor her mother spoke with the media after the proceedings. I guess they’re going to keep it zipped until after the teens sentencing hearing in a few weeks. Good luck.

Michelle Rodriguez Warns “Fast & Furious” Franchise To Include Female-Centric Stories, Or She’ll Bounce

Michelle Rodriguez Threatens To Leave Fast & Furious Franchise

The Fast & Furious franchise, which just grossed $1.24 billion worldwide with its last installment, is set to have two more movies to round the series off at 10 films.

However, Michelle Rodriguez might not sign on the dotted line for two more big paydays — that is, if the writers don’t give the women something to do other than look cute and set the male characters up for their lines.

In a recent IG post, Michelle said that she really needed the series to include some lady-centric stories, or she might need to dip and do something better with her time…

Instagram Photo

F8 is out digitally today, I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one. Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise. It’s been a good ride & Im grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided over the years… One Love

Well, it is a steady check for a fraction of the work…but we’re sure Michelle is interested in more than being the sidekick to “Dom” and only getting 15 minutes of screentime.

Although she may want to watch her words…there’s already been an entire Fast & Furious movie that she wasn’t in at all, and it did just fine at the box office. So…producers might just chuck her the dueces without her having to volunteer to bounce.

Will you miss Michelle if she leaves the movies?

Halle Berry “Disappointed’ That Her Oscar Win Did Little For Diversity

Halle Berry has been on a roll giving her opinions on the racial issues facing the nation.

Now, she’s speaking out on diversity in Hollywood, and the rude awakening she got when doors didn’t exactly fly open for women of color after she was awarded an Oscar for her controversial role in Monster’s Ball.

Halle sat with Teen Vogue this week and lamented over the Academy’s reluctance to recognize Black folks’ accomplishments in filmmaking, as well as the lack of meaty roles for people of color.

“I sat there and I thought, ‘Wow, that moment really meant nothing. It meant nothing. I thought it meant something but I think it meant nothing. And I was profoundly hurt by that, and saddened by that.

It inspired me to get involved in other ways, which is why I want to start directing, I want to start producing more,” she said. “I want to start being a part of making more opportunities for people of color.”

Good! She’s made it clear she ain’t here for whining without action. Hopefully Halle can help change the tides from behind the scenes…

SMH…

Tommy Le Killed Before Graduation

Another sad death has occurred in Washington state at the hands of police.

A Seattle man who was just hours away from walking across the stage at graduation was gunned down by a police officer. Tommy Le, 20, was set to graduate from Career Link’s alternative high school on June 14. Unfortunately, he never made it to the ceremony because a King County Sheriff’s deputy gunned him down.

According to The Seattle Times, Le was fatally shot last week after he reportedly made a stabbing motion at a homeowner’s door before charging at deputies.

Officers thought Le was holding a knife when he approached them but later confirmed that it was only a pen. The Times also adds that the department won’t release a photo of the pen and did not have dashboard or body cameras.

Just two weeks ago a Seattle police officer killed pregnant mom Charleena Lyles for “approaching them with a knife.”

What do YOU think about this second death at the hands of Seattle police?

Venus Williams Responsible For Fatal Car Accident Killing Elderly Man

Say it ain’t so!

According to TMZ reports, Venus Williams has been found responsible for a car accident that lead to the death of 78-year-old Jerome Barson.

The police report indicates that Mr. Barson’s wife was driving into an intersection when Venus’ SUV appeared suddenly and a t-bone collision took place.

Venus story is that she was making her way through the intersection, but a traffic pile up forced her to slow down, thus exposing her to oncoming traffic. As a result of the crash, Mr. Barson suffered severe head injuries and had to be hospitalized. He died 2 weeks later. Mrs. Barson also suffered major injuries including broken bones.

Police cited Venus as the cause of the accident because she impeded the other driver’s right of way.

There were no drugs or alcohol involved in the incident.

Dammit, man. Brandy went through hell when she was found at fault in a similar accident that caused a death. Prayers up for the Barson family as well as Venus. They’re all gonna need it.

Rap Royalty Out In Full Force At Mobb Deep Front Man’s Homegoing

50 Cent was among the hip-hop heavyweights who turned up to say goodbye to Prodigy. 50 Cent spoke at a private wake for the star at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan Thursday before a public viewing. The “Power” star later took to Instagram to open up about the experience: “I never spoke at a wake or a funeral before, but I felt like I had to say something at P’s Rest In Peace Prodigy,” 50 wrote. “God bless.” [protected-iframe id="79347ef1ae53910dc21b1621b1fb2883-568005-78804252" info="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" class="instagram-media"] Several thousand people waited in a line that stretched down Madison Avenue to see Prodigy for the last time. Among the guests were Prodigy's rap partner Havoc rapper Ice T, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and LL Cool J, who emerged from the chapel dabbing at tears. Prodigy died June 20th after performing in Las Vegas. He was 42 years old, and leaves behind a daughter. Scores of people filled the chapel, where large bouquets of white flowers flanked Prodigy’s closed casket. [protected-iframe id="a68352284f71951b9faf02f814696808-568005-78804252" info="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" class="instagram-media"] Outside the chapel, a crowd gathered across the street to blast Prodigy songs and rap along. Rapper Mic Geronimo told BOSSIP that he and Prodigy were neighbors, and he always used to see the “Quiet Storm” rapper taking his daughter to the park and riding bikes with her. He said he’d hung out with Prodigy and Havoc recently, and they promised to do a show to raise money for cancer and sickle cell anemia. “I think I can honestly say that right now, it’s hit me,” Geronimo said. “I’m glad to have had him as a friend.” Hit the flip for more pictures from Prodigy's homegoing:

BOSSIP On WeTV Cast Blog #1

Day 1 is in the books. Well, technically it’s not “day 1”, but it is the end of the first day of filming content that will appear on television. Today, we shot our second dress rehearsal show and interviewed our first “celebrity guest”, Growing Up Hip-Hop Atlanta’s Brandon Barnes. According to our magnificent and melanin-y showrunner, Sheonna, we did a great job. She wouldn’t lie to us (or at least she wouldn’t lie to me) so I believe her. I can’t wait to see how it looks after post production.

This entire process has been really exciting, informative and educational. I haven’t had any experience in TV whatsoever, and neither have most of the cast/staff, but we’re all bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and open to learning how to make a hit TV show. That said, there is a LOT to learn. Naturally, the BOSSIP staff are a bunch of smart-asses who have a WHOLE lot to say at the drop of drop of a dime. That’s fine for our out-of-pocket office conversations, but on TV it just sounds like a lot of yelling…like a Meek Mill song. No bueno. So we’ve quickly learned that we have to take time to allow each other to get these jokes off cleanly and audibly.

The great thing about the BOSSIP cast is that we each inhabit our own lanes and we’re perfectly comfortable in them. Me, I’ve been dubbed “the cool guy” by my co-workers because of my style and personality. I’m sure the comment section, Twitter and Instagram will be more than happy to let me know if they agree. But enough about my greatness. My cast mates Ronnie and Tyler are professional funnymen. I’m regularly in awe of their sharp wit and ability to create hilarious jokes on the fly. Janeé keeps everyone in order and makes sure that s**t gets done, Lord knows we need that. Alex is a cultural savant and uplifter of young Black women…in a young uncle sort of way. Dani is as kind and sweet as they come…she’s also equally as shady and straightforward, don’t sleep. And last, but most certainly not least, we have Maura. Maura is the most unique character on this show of ours. She’s not afraid to speak and that is to her credit as well as her detriment. Bless her heart.

We are incredibly blessed to be working with an amazing production crew. The folks who make this show happen are patient, kind, but they do NOT play games. They are here to WORK, just like we are. This show will only be as good as all of its moving parts, so expect nothing but pure greatness every single Thursday night at 10 pm EST on WeTV.

This is just the beginning, every week I come to the set with an inspired vision. Although we are still in the process of getting off the ground, I see SO much potential in what we are creating. I truly believe that one day we will all look back at this experience and say: “Damn, remember when we were first starting out?” Lord willin’, I’ll be asking that question from a big ass yacht stocked with fresh seafood and the finest adult spirits while wearing a white linen short set and my vintage frames with yellow lenses. That only happens if we bust our ass and bring you all the very best 30-minutes of your day, each and every Thursday. I’ve worked at BOSSIP for 6 years and I’m as happy as over a part of the team as we embark on this fantastic voyage. Word to Coolio.
