Gossip: Tom Cruise Is A Control Freak; Elizabeth Banks Apologizes For Huge Spielberg Mistake

Tom Cruise had an “excessive” amount of control over The Mummy: Cruise “had an excessive amount of control, according to several people interviewed. The reboot of ‘The Mummy’ was supposed to be the start of a mega-franchise for Universal Pictures. But instead, it’s become a textbook case of a movie star run amok…. several sources close to the production say that Cruise exerted nearly complete creative oversight on The Mummy, essentially wearing all the hats and dictating even the smallest decisions on the set.

The studio let it happen, contractually: Universal, according to sources familiar with the matter, contractually guaranteed Cruise control of most aspects of the project, from script approval to post-production decisions. He also had a great deal of input on the film’s marketing and release strategy, these sources said, advocating for a June debut in a prime summer period.

How much it really cost: With terrible reviews, The Mummy, which insiders say cost as much as $190 million to make and more than $100 million more to market and release worldwide, may struggle to make its money back.

Cruise exerted control at every level: He hand-selected Alex Kurtzman, a relatively untested director for The Mummy, someone who had no experience directing a big-budget action film, and someone who was mostly known as a producer/writer. Sources say Cruise behaved as the director as Kurtzman “struggled to adjust to scope of the project,” and Cruise would “often dictate the major action sequences and micro-managing the production, according to sources.”

Cruise hand-selected familiar screenwriters: He brought in Christopher McQuarrie and Dylan Kussman, two of his close friends, to basically rewrite the role into Standard Issue Tom Cruise Hero Role and they bulked up his role while weakening the role of the Girl Mummy. Universal wasn’t happy but they went along with it.

After all that, he worked on editing too: He brought in his favorite editor and “spent time in the editing suite overseeing the cutting, which everybody agreed wasn’t working. On the lot, there were differences of opinions about whether Cruise’s directions were improving a picture that had been troubled from its inception or whether they were turning a horror film into a Cruise infomercial.”

Elizabeth Banks Apologizes For Huge Spielberg Mistake

I messed up. When referring to Steven Spielberg at the Women In Film Awards, I framed my comments about his films inaccurately. I want to be clear from the start that I take full responsibility for what I said and I’m sorry. When I made the comments, I was thinking of recent films Steven directed, it was not my intention to dismiss the import of the iconic #TheColorPurple. I made things worse by giving the impression that I was dismissing Shari Belafonte when she attempted to correct me. I spoke with Shari backstage and she was kind enough to forgive me. Those who have the privilege and honor of directing and producing films should be held to account for our mistakes, whether it’s about diversity or inaccurate statements. I’m very sorry,”

7 Tupac Lookalikes Blowing Our Minds Right Now

Tupac was born June 16, 1971 and his life constitutes one the most influential, prolific outputs in hip hop history. On September 7, 1996, he was shot in Las Vegas while leaving a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Hotel. He died six days later on Sept. 13, as says the official record.

But no one ever believes the official record when it comes to Tupac. Many continue to believe Tupac Shakur lives, thanks to a suspiciously large amount of music released after his death. That and people keep spotting Tupac in public. He perhaps has the most doppelgangers of any celebrity living or dead. Falling down that doppelganger rabbit hole will cause one to lose multiple productive hours of a day. I know because that’s what I did.

RELATED: Marijuana Users Consume To Music

With the release of the Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me and his birthday, we thought we’d rank the most well-known Tupac lookalikes on scale of believability. While in fictional setting or public life, some of these men truly look like Tupac. None of these men, however, are Tupac. As everyone knows, Tupac’s living in Cuba. Just try and prove me wrong.

Ivory Coast goalkeeper Boubacar Barry

This comparison is lacking. No bandana, incorrect facial hair, too much gleam in his eye. Boubacar Barry resembles Tupac only in facial structure. The real Pac would never play goalkeeper anyways, too defensive a position.

Tupac In Beyond Scared Straight

https://twitter.com/_BigMitz/status/563041460510281729

Another stretch to consider this man too much a Tupac lookalike. This is more of an Easter egg treat for that giant crossover between Beyond Scared Straight viewers and Tupac fans.

Demetrius Shipp, Jr.

Demetrius Shipp, Jr. plays Tupac Shakur in All Eyez On Me. When he was cast for the role, he was still working at Target. He told TMZ his co-workers called him “Pac” on the job since he so closely resembled the legendary rapper.

Counterpoint: All those Target employees should be fired.

Many critics have bashed the film and Tupac associates have publicly decreed it, like Jada Pinkett Smith who said All Eyez On Me is full of lies. Shipp, while undeniably a Tupac doppelganger, isn’t that convincing as Pac. His face is too round, cheeks too plump, and does not contain the pain in his eyes like Tupac did. He does not appear weary of the world like Mr. Shakur.

He’s a good enough lookalike, but “good enough” isn’t good enough for Pac.

Tupac At The BET Music Awards

You be the judge. This is the realm of Tupac lookalikes where the internet really convinces itself Tupac might still be alive. The lax demeanor and outfit is convincing as a Tupac doppelganger. I mean, he looks the part. Appearing at the BET Music Awards is a nice touch.

Boston Celtics Fan Tupac

The crowd started chanting “Let’s go, Tupac!” and the stadium PAs played “California Love.” At a Boston Celtics game. Convincing anyone to cheer on any entity from the state of California is a magic trick. This Tupac lookalike did magic.

Tupac in Outlawz Music Video

Honestly, this is for the true conspiracy heads. The one who really, really believe Tupac is still alive. His possible appearance in an Outlawz music video—a rap group with close ties to Tupac; they helped him dis Notorious B.I.G. in “Hit Em Up”—as a shadowy figure is the closest metaphor possible. Like, it’s almost too on the nose.

Watch the video, though. Tell me that guy doesn’t resemble Tupac. Tell me he isn’t Tupac. Seriously, tell me this because I may have talked myself into believing this video is real.

Marcc Rose

Every time I watch Straight Outta Compton I think two things: a) rappers used to be cooler and b) Tupac is still alive. The latter is because of Marcc Rose. He is the only convincing Pac performer I’ve ever seen. The reason All Eyez On Me is failing is because he isn’t in it.

His last name is Rose! Like The Rose That Grew From Concrete! Like “We The Roses!” What more do you want? Marcc Rose is Tupac; Tupac is Marcc Rose. All other Pacs should be rendered null and void, forever more.

Three Perfect Bourbon Cocktails for Father’s Day

Three Perfect Bourbon Cocktails for Father’s Day

The timing of Father’s Day—right at the starting shot of summer—makes the holiday the perfect moment for cocktails. The weather is warm, the vibe is relaxed, and everybody’s in the mood for something cold, refreshing, and a little bit celebratory. Neat whiskey is great, but times like these call for something a bit more involved.

Many of you will be cooking out for Father’s Day, so we’ve selected three cocktails ideal for the backyard setting.

While Waiting For The Coals To Light

Before dinner, you need something light, lively, and notLso strong that it will send you sideways if you drink it on an empty stomach. Enter the whiskey sour.

If the last whiskey sour you had was in the 1990s and made with fluorescent sour mix, banish that thought from your mind. Now, make this version from David Wondrich, using a decent but inexpensive bourbon (think Evan Williams or Jim Beam), fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and plenty of ice.

With Dinner

Many Father’s Day menus include food cooked over an open fire, so you’ll need something sufficiently flavorful to cut through the smoke and char. Yet I frequently find that straight cocktails like Manhattans or Old Fashioneds don’t actually pair all that well with food – they’re too strong, which can mask the flavor of what you’re eating, and I often want to drink more liquid with dinner than is advisable to consume if that liquid is 40% alcohol.

Instead, why not get a little trendy and serve dad a beer cocktail with his surf-and-turf? The Southern 75 from Garden & Gun is a riff on the French 75, except instead of gin and champagne, it pairs IPA with bourbon.

While Lingering By The Fire Pit

After the dishes have been stacked and the grill has gone out, you’re finally free to go boozy and bold. Maker’s Mark suggests an extra-rich riff on the Old Fashioned that includes maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and bacon-infused Maker’s Mark for that extra savory flavor. Bonus to this recipe? You get to experiment with fat-washing, a nerdy bartender technique that’s easy to recreate at home.

The All-American

Created by Nicole Trzaska of The Liberty Bar NYC

  • 1 ½ parts bacon infused Maker’s Mark bourbon*
  • ¼ part maple syrup
  • 3-4 dashes angostura bitters
  • Strip of cooked bacon for garnish

In a rocks glass, stir bitters and maple, top with bacon infused bourbon. Add ice and garnish with a strip of cooked bacon.

*Bacon infused bourbon

  • 3-4 strips of bacon
  • 750ml bourbon

Cook 3-4 strips of thick bacon, enough to yield 1 ounce of fat (eat the bacon after!). Once bacon fat has cooled to room temperature, pour in to a storage container. Add 750mL bourbon, cover and freeze overnight. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain bourbon in to a new container removing large bits of bacon. Lastly, double strain your bourbon back in to the bottle. Enjoy!

Watch This Reporter Go Wild On Disneyland’s Newest Ride

Imagine if your job for the day was riding Disneyland‘s newest ride. Not a bad gig, right? So thought local ABC reporter Corey James who was assigned to report live from Disneyland’s new Guardians of the Galaxy- Mission: Breakout ride.

Only no one warned him what the attraction actually entailed.

The ride is based on Disney and Marvel’s latest hit movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. If you have been lucky enough to visit Disneyland previous, perhaps you enjoyed The Tower of Terror. Based on the TV series The Twilight Zone, passengers would explore different levels of the fictional hotel before falling 130 feet straight down.

RELATED: Like ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’? Here Are Five Storylines From Other Comics You Should Read

Announced at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con, the attraction replaced The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, which closed I n January 2017. It is the first Disney attraction based on the Marvel Comics characters in the United States, and was incorporated into Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure in June 2021. It was then surrounded by a layer of markings on the ground that imply a cosmic energy which resulted when the fortress was transported from across the galaxy to the campus. The markings are inspired by the Kirby Krackle, based on the artwork of Marvel Comics artist Jack Kirby.

What Are Marijuana Distillates And How Do They Work?

What Are Marijuana Distillates And How Do They Work?

Marijuana distillates have been referred to as the future of cannabis and as the ultimate form of pure concentration of the plant, providing a high like no other. They’re an exciting and new invention, but they’re also extremely potent and better suited for experienced users. The average cannabis flower has around 15-25 percent of THC while cannabis distillates can have a potency of up to 99 percent. Which is a lot.

The distillation process is simple, consisting of two steps in which they prep and clear the plant of all impurities. Firstly, the terpenes which are the oils responsible for the aroma and scent of the plant are removed. Then, the remaining lipids and solvents are separated from the product, leaving you with a clear distillate that contains only the most valuable and purest parts of cannabis.

This THC oil is meant to be used like other cannabis oils, in cartridges, edibles and tinctures and it can have medicinal and recreational purposes. These distillates have much more power than any other type of cannabis. 

Currently there are a couple of cannabis companies that sell their distillates, one of them is Bakked, which has oils with a potency of up to 97 percent and other options that are not as concentrated. Cannabis distillates are a growing and expanding business that’ll surely offer more options for the future of cannabis and that’ll open up more doors for the industry.

Gossip: Kris Jenner Lawyering Up Against Blac Chyna; Putin’s ‘Duty’ Is To Stop Gays From Marrying

The source told OK! magazine that Kris “has hired a crack team of the most brutal blood-thirsty lawyers money can buy,” with the intentions of getting her son full custody of Dream.

The source says, “She is not letting Chyna get away with it and she fully intends to have her go away amicably and leave Dream with Rob.”

How is Kris going to flush Chyna away? Well, it seems like this mom-ager has experience in this field, according to this source.

Putin’s ‘Duty’ Is To Stop Gays From Marrying

In an interview with Oliver Stone airing on Showtime this week, the Russian president explained that, as head of state, he was obligated “to uphold traditional values and family values.”

His reasoning? “Because same-sex marriages will not produce any children. God has decided, and we have to care about birth rates in our country. We have to reinforce families.”

“But,” he added, “that doesn’t mean that there should be any persecutions against anyone.”

Repression of Russia’s LGBT community is well-documented, but Putin has continually denied queer people face persecution. Talking with Stone, he claimed Russia is “liberal-minded to a great extent,” and insisted gay Russians are under no particular threat.

He added that there are no laws prohibiting gays from serving in the military, prompting Stone to ask whether he’d be comfortable showering on a submarine with a homosexual crewman.

“I prefer not to go to the shower with him,” Putin responded. “Why provoke him? But you know, I’m a judo master and a Sambo master as well.”

Putin did, however, defend Russia’s ban on same-sex adoption: “I cannot say that it is welcomed by our public,” he conceded. “I say this frankly. In my view, children will have a freer choice when they become adults if they grow up in a traditional family.”

He used similar rhetoric to defend Russia’s “gay propaganda” ban, telling Stone the law allows children “the opportunity to grow up without impacting their consciousness.”

PA Governor Threatens To Sue Jeff Sessions Over Marijuana

PA Governor Threatens To Sue Jeff Sessions Over Marijuana

State officials are urging Jeff Sessions to tread lightly when it comes to trying to impose any kind of crackdown on the cannabis community.

Earlier this week, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf fired off a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saying “we do not need the federal government getting in the way” of medical marijuana.

The letter comes after Sessions sent a message of his own to Congressional leaders last month asking them to rescind the only protection the medical marijuana community has to keep it safe from the despicable clutches of Drug Enforcement Administration.

“Your action to undo the protections of the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, which prevents the use of federal funds to disrupt states’ efforts to implement “their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana” is misguided,” Wolf wrote.

The governor then threatened to slap Sessions with a lawsuit if federal drug agents should start harassing the state’s medical marijuana patients.

“If you seek to further disrupt our ability to establish a legal way to deliver relief of medical marijuana to our citizens,” he continued, “I will ask the Attorney General of Pennsylvania to take legal action to protect our residents and state sovereignty.”

Despite his ramblings about wanting to combat the opioid problem in the United States, Attorney General Sessions has done more to launch a war against legal marijuana than anything pertaining to this problem. In addition to asking key members of Congress to not renew the medical marijuana protections this September, Sessions also recently assembled a violent crime task force that is responsible for providing him with enforcement recommendations. The details of this shady endeavor are supposed to be revealed sometime before the end of summer.

Although no one is certain how the conflict between the Trump administration and state marijuana laws is going to shake out, there is enough evidence to suggest that change is on the horizon.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told a Senate committee earlier this week that the Justice Department could reverse an Obama-era memo that allows state to experiment with marijuana legalization. But for now, he admits, it is business as usual.

“Maybe there will be changes to it in the future,” he said, “but we’re still operating under that policy which is an effort to balance the conflicting interests with regard to marijuana.”

Federal lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday aimed at legalizing medical marijuana at the national level. Marijuana advocates say the time for this legislation is more important than ever, as a concrete policy is the only way to protect legalization without continuously being challenged by the forces under the Department of Justice.

How CBD Helped This Woman With A Torn Meniscus

Have you ever felt like you’ve been put on the shelf, left out, forgotten and not capable anymore?

 

Once upon a time, I climbed mountains, went alone to places where no human tracks could be found. I was a hiking, climbing, backpacking beast. I led; no following for me. Then it happened in a kickboxing class, of all things. It was the dreaded meniscus tear! My hiking buddies started leaving me in their dust and then just left me at home-on the shelf!

 

How discouraging.  Over the years, my knee said, “Slow down.” And now it says, “Stop. Time for surgery!” But, wait just a minute. What about this gel that several friends had told me about? It was a CBD, cannabis based product. They talked about how the soothing gel had gotten them through various musculoskeletal injuries. 

So, what was I waiting for? Not far away was a cannabis retail store (I live in Washington State). And on a Friday afternoon, I walked inside. 

 

Now, this was my first time inside a pot shop. After all, I’m 70 years old and in my day, there was no such thing as the pot shop. You had to ‘know someone who knew someone.’ Thankfully, those days are over. 

 

The benefits of cannabis and related cannabinoids are being researched and documented. Acceptance is ever increasing. It’s gaining approval across social and political lines. And even traditional health care providers are open to its worth. 

On May 24, 2017, the NBC Evening News had a feature on the use of cannabidiol for children experiencing seizures. It’s working wonders for many kids.  Cancer patients, using a cannabinoid derived drug, are seeing results in the lessening of the side effects of treatment, thereby being able to stick to, and complete, their protocols.  These success stories are worth noting. 

So now, back to the pot shop. There was no uncomfortable scrutiny-just a welcome. But I did have to wait my turn. It was one busy place! 

 

With customers five deep at the counters, I had time to browse and look over the menu of products.  Then a young woman asked if she could help.  I’m sure I looked a little bewildered, being 70 and all! I told her that I was looking for a CBD based gel for my achy knee. She showed me to the counter, took out a great looking, gold and black colored jar and discussed the product with me. I bought, of course. I wanted to climb down off the shelf! 

That night, before bed, I took a hot shower and applied the gel to my knee, massaging well.  It took a bit of rubbing to make sure it was absorbed. Did I instantly notice a change?  No. But the next morning the knee seemed better. I determined that I would stick to my program for the next sevem nights. 

 

Good news! I have come down off that shelf and am hiking 10-12 miles a week. The gel has given me a reprieve from the pain I was experiencing and I continue to use it. 

 

Will I need surgery? Yes-eventually. After all, my knee has worn down to ‘bone-on-bone’ contact. Will I explore other cannabis based products to use during my recovery? Absolutely. 

 

In the meantime, I’m enjoying hiking and my friends. They are slowing down too. More understanding and research about cannabis and derivatives as they become more mainstream can be helpful to so many of all ages. And hopefully, governmental agencies will embrace the possibilities. 

In Honor Of Wonder Woman: The Top 8 Badass Women In Comics

In Honor Of Wonder Woman: The Top 8 Badass Women In Comics

Wonder Woman has landed. The movie we’ve been waiting decades for was finally released and quickly made itself one of the most successful superhero films of all-time. As the first female-led superhero movie, audiences displayed a deep appetite for strong, badass women in comic books.

So we’d thought we would give a shout out to other powerful women in comics. The ones that can take care of themselves and any man thrown their way. Here are my Top 8 Most Badass Women in comics, along with their most badass moment.

8) Black Canary

Cover via DC Comics

Black Canary is a straight up brawler. Trained by Wildcat and girlfriend/wife to the Green Arrow makes her no stranger to the vigilante game. But, if beating your ass with punches and kicks isn’t enough, then she’ll treat you like she did Amazo in JLA #24 and blow your head off using her supersonic Canary Cry. It is also her 70th anniversary this month.

7) Buffy

Though she got her start as the biggest badass TV, the story of the vampire slayer has continued in the world of comic books. Her most interesting feat in comicdom yet is… sexing a universe into existence with Angel? Well she did do that. But afterwards, in a more applicable fashion, she destroyed all magic on earth by destroying the Seed of Wonder.

6) Invisible Woman

The most powerful member of the Fantastic Four is not the Human Torch or The Thing, but freaking Susan Storm-Richards. Her ability to create psionic force fields and shape them into invisible constructs is incredibly versatile and powerful. She’s even cracked the armor of a Celestial. I think her most daring feat was singlehandedly taking on the Latverian Air Force, then beating the crap out of Dr. Doom and destroying his castle, all to get her daughter Valeria back. That’s one bad momma!

5) Wolverine (Laura Kinney)

Formerly known as X-23, Laura is the All-New Wolverine. Her entire comic career has been steeped in ultraviolence, so choosing one moment that stands out is hard. Maybe not her strongest display of skill, but one that sticks out to me, is when she willingly jumped into Fin Fang Foom’s mouth (and stomach) to rescue a partially digested Old Man Logan. She then clawed her way back up through the esophagus of the villainous dragon. It made for some very badass/funny visuals in All New Wolverine #8-9.

4) Mera

Cover via DC Comics

Aquaman gets a lot of flak from the denizens of the world that don’t know anything about the character, just that he talks to fish (thanks Superfriends cartoon). His girlfriend, however, deserves no such flak. Mera does not talk to fish. She just owns at all aspects of life, swimming at speeds faster than Aquaman, and wielding the power of hydrokinesis. This allows her to control and manipulate water. Her most badass moment was in Aquaman New 52 #40, when she created an enormous water kaiju and destroyed a giant volcano god named Karaku.

3) Thor (Jane Foster)

Jane Foster has been our Thor for the last few years and she’s doing a really killer job of it. She not only fights gods, trolls, giants, elves, and minotaurs, but is also combating breast cancer in her free time. Unfortunately, her transformations into Thor negate any good her chemotherapy is doing her, but she presses on because the universe needs a Thor. Most badass moment: Going toe to toe with the All-Father himself, Odin.

2) Red Sonja

Red Sonja has been around even longer than Wonder Woman, first appearing in Conan in 1934. Possibly her most impressive feat was her first. After a group of bandits kill her family, she leads them into the woods of her homeland and picks them off one by one, systematically killing twenty men. Truly a strong woman of the highest order.

1) Wonder Woman

Cover via DC Comics

Who else? Not only does she fight gods, demons, monsters, etc. daily, but she can also gross over $400 million at the box office. Her most badass moment is possibly the most badass moment ever. In Wonder Woman #210, she fights Medusa blindfolded. She just did not want to be turned to stone. Even after getting stabbed and having her blindfold torn off, Wonder Woman uses snake venom from Medusa’s hair to physically blind herself. She then beheads the defeated Medusa like a total boss.

Legal Marijuana Will Pump Nearly $70 Billion A Year Into US Economy

Legal Marijuana Will Pump Nearly $70 Billion A Year Into US Economy

Legal marijuana will pump almost $70 billion a year into the U.S. economy in four years, according to  a study released this week in the Marijuana Business Factbook 2017.

The report shows the total economic impact of marijuana regulation to rise from $18 billion in 2016 to $68 billion by 2021 – a jump of 241 percent.

According to a report in the Marijuana Business Daily, a leading resource for the cannabis industry:

For each dollar spent by marijuana patients/customers at the retail level, an additional $3 in economic benefit is realized – much of it at the local level.

The report demonstrates some ways the industry affects the economy:

  • Wages paid to employees of cannabis companies benefit many other local businesses, given that workers spend a portion of their earnings to buy food from a grocery store or dine at a restaurant.
  • Marijuana businesses collectively pay hundreds of millions of dollars in state and local taxes, which fund projects including roads and rural hospitals as well as government programs such as education.
  • The launch of a new cannabis business – cultivation facilities, in particular – generate real estate and construction activity, often in economically disadvantaged areas of a town or municipality.

For years, economists and industry insiders have continually adjusted their economic forecasts to account for the skyrocketing growth of the market as more states move to legalize cannabis either for recreational or medicinal use.

Last November, four more states voted to legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana and several more are either creating or updating medical programs allowing patients to access the herb.

As the Marijuana Business Daily notes:

Sales in existing medical and recreational markets have shown no signs of slowing. In Washington state and Colorado, for example, adult-use sales in the first two months of 2017 broke records.

In Oregon, nearly 12,500 jobs are associated with the cannabis industry.

According to a study conducted by economist Beau Whitney for the Oregon State House of Representatives Committee on Economic Development and Trade. Whitney estimates the economic impact in the state at $1.2 billion.
