  • Diplo Denies Katy Perry’s Sex Claims

    Diplo Denies Katy Perry’s Sex Claims

    Diplo is hitting back against the negative sex claims that Katy Perry unleashed about him recently stating that he can’t remember sleeping with the singer. Perry, 32 in the recent interview with James Corden, called him the worst sexual partner she has ever had out of her three exes. Thump, the Vice’s music channel, shared the remark on Twitter, which Diplo responded immediately.

    Diplo denied ever sleeping with Perry on Twitter and he also posted his amusing photo claiming that he has a bronze medal he won in sex Olympics. Katy’s interview was shown on her YouTube live stream. Cordeen inquired her to rank her ex-boyfriends in terms of bed performance. Diplo came third in the row.

    Katy kept her relationship with Diplo very private since she feared the media interventions that she had experienced previously during her affair with her ex-husband Russell Brand and John Mayer. Katy believes that the media interfered with her previous relationships that didn’t work well. She, therefore, kept the relationship with Diplo off the media anticipating that things would work but they parted ways.

    Despite the latest criticized in the bedroom department, Diplo believes he is lucky in dating. Apart from Katy, Diplo has been sexually connected to numerous attractive Hollywood actresses including M.I.A., a British rapper, and actress Kate Hudson and much more. Diplo also has two sons with his ex-partner Kathryn Lockhart.

    Diplo was not amused by Perry’s sexual performance rankings and his response on Twitter was to set his record straight and dismiss Perry and her sexual claims. Generally, any man would feel bad when considered not good enough especially when the subject touches on the strength of the manhood. It would be good if Perry withdraws her statement to save Diplo’s ego and self-worth.

    What prompted Perry to rank her former partners based on their bedroom skills rather than hers was a move that stunned many people in the social media platforms. Some critics felt that there are things to be kept private and no one is interested to know how people perform in their bedrooms. Despite Katy’s sexual admission and Diplo’s unkind response, the two are not enemies.

    Alison Brie, a top actor said that she was asked to remove her top during the audition of her role in HBO’s Entourage.

    The comedy show actress affirms that no considerable change has been made in Hollywood in regards to the troubles faced by women actors. She has called upon the management to intervene and do more in terms of helping female actors who are equally important to the industry as men. A lot of people are looking forward to see whether or not Hollywood will intervene more strongly and fight against the violation of women in the industry.

    It is not the first time such an incidence is taking place in this industry. A number of news reporting platforms have reported on similar incidences time and again. The female actors and the general public have been hoping that Hollywood hears the cry of these women and moves in to help. Unfortunately, the moves by Hollywood seem to be weak considering the violations continue to be witnessed.

    According to Foxnews.com, Brie was at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas for the screening of her upcoming show. She was accompanied by co-star Betty Gilpin. Entertainment Weekly reached out to them with numerous questions.

  • The Jury Expected To Make A Decision That Will Determine The Fate Of Bill Cosby

    The Jury Expected To Make A Decision That Will Determine The Fate Of Bill Cosby

    Bill Cosby is in more trouble after his words were used against him. This took place at the Montgomery County Courthouse situated in suburban Philadelphia. As expected, the celebrity’s controversy has sparked different reactions globally and a lot of people are eager to hear the final judgment.

    To the uttermost shock of everyone in court, the defense team only fielded one witness in the court hearing. The prosecution showed great determination to win the case. In making the closing arguments, prosecution majorly dwelt on a number of statements that Cosby made some 1o years back.

    The 79-year-old comedian continues to deny the allegations leveled against him. In defending himself, he said that it wasn’t true that he drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand in 2004.

    Bitter consequences await the top comedian if prosecution succeeds to incriminate him. He would be facing the felony aggravated indecent assault. Cosby could serve a 10-year sentence and the fine could be about $25,000 for every count.

    One would have expected Cosby to give his stand in relation to the matter. Instead, his attorneys focused more on painting Constand in negative light. According to them, Constand was unreliable, troubled and above all a woman with great thirst to ruin the legends remarkable reputation. It sends out mixed signals considering that a number of other women have also showed up with similar accusations against Cosby. They say that the top entertainer raped them about four decades ago.

    In the afternoon court session, prosecution successfully brought out the glaring consistencies between both Constand and Cosby’s stories. However, this did not go as far as indicating the pills that Cosby administered that particular night that Constant claims to have been raped.

    Brian McMonagle, a defense attorney said that it wasn’t right for Constand to tell what he referred to as “a stone-cold lie.”He urged the court to see matters as they were. Constand was a “lover” in opposition to the perception she had managed to paint of herself as a victim.

    The acquittal of Cosby is unexpected to most of the people. In case it happens, it will paint a very bad image of Constand.

  • Kevin Spacey Gets Rough Night As Tony’s Host

    Kevin Spacey Gets Rough Night As Tony’s Host

    Kevin Spacey opened the Tony Awards show with a boring and not-so-entertaining musical collage that left the audience wondering who ill-advised Spacey as the host to focus on strange music that people are not familiar with. The Sunday night show of Broadway’s annual festivals started on a low key note that the event organizers had difficult figuring out what to do with Spacey.

    Spacey is recognized for his achievements in theater and films including The Usual Suspects, American Beauty and House of Cards on television. He once won a 1991 Tony Award for his concert in the Lost in Yonkers and his 1999 Broadway performance in The Iceman Cometh became one of the most important shows of the year.

    Spacey’s recent performance in the Tony Award show was slammed by some uncomfortable and strange show. However, he saved his evening towards the end of the show when Frank and Claire Underwood made their appearance on the stage to perform the Best Musical award to the Dear Evan Hansen. Their performance uplifted the spirits of the whole show making things to look a bit impressive.

    For years, The Tonys have had problems guessing which audience to target for their events. For instance, the Sunday’s incidence focused on the theater insiders found in the Radio City Music Hall but not for the uninitiated TV watchers. Apart from the celebration turning out to be unimpressive, the three-hour show was also unwelcoming and cold.

    Some suggestions from the participants were that the opening number should have been towards the end of the broadcast. The audience would then have seen a few of the reference from the musical collection performed during the evening. Spacey instead did his own things without thinking out-of-the-box during the evening show.

    Another challenge is that Spacey is not familiar with the music and dance genre of the newest hosts such as the Hugh Jackman and Patrick Harris. The opening ceremony was full of the Spacey’s batch of jokes concerning his insecurity at being the event host. The event should normally start on the right note to set the good mood for the audience.

  • Jerry Seinfeld Clarifies Why He Could Not Hug Kesha

    Jerry Seinfeld Clarifies Why He Could Not Hug Kesha

    Jerry Seinfeld refused to hug Kesha recently on May 5 when they had a red carpet interview at David Lynch Foundation National Night of Laughter and Song claiming he doesn’t hug strangers. Some people felt the move was mean and unexpected. The veteran comedian told the Extra’s AJ Calloway that at 63, he doesn’t know all the famous pop stars and hence he could not hug Kesha who looked a total stranger to him.

    Seinfeld admitted that it’s his nature not to hug strangers he meets until he gets familiar with them. The incident made headlines last week making the comedian the subject of a viral clip that was circulated on the social media platforms. According to the video clip, Steinfeld denied Kesha a hug three times while they were on the red carpet interview.

    During the awkward moment, Kesha energetically outstretched her arms to hug the former Seinfeld comedian in the middle of the red carpet interview only to get the cold shoulder for three times. At some point, Kesha approached Jerry by asking him if she can hug him, but he replied with a “No thanks”, with his one hand up as if to shield himself from the pop star.

    Jerry Steinfeld has so far explained about the embarrassing moment stating that he doesn’t have anything against Kesha. He would definitely have liked her but needed to know her first before he could stretch his hands in return for a friendly hug. However, He didn’t know that he would have a ‘borderline harassment’ case to answer afterward.

    Steinfeld also explained to the public that he talked to Kesha off camera about the incidence and they laughed it off though he did not hug her even after that. From the subsequent event, it’s easier for someone to conclude that Jerry Steinfeld has a bizarre personality and that he just does not like hugging strangers. The comedian who has been in the limelight for so many years could also be aging faster and he may not like hugging people.
