Famous rapper Snoop Dogg is back to creating controversies again. The rapper was the host of the NFL Honors Award ceremony on Thursday. As one of the biggest nights for the football players, and fans alike, the excitement for it was overwhelming.

Similarly, Snoop Dogg’s fans were of a similar mind since the news of his hosting the yearly awards ceremony was announced in January. Unfortunately, their blazing hype quickly turned to ashes just a few minutes into the show’s beginning.

For the players, as well as for the fans. The reason behind this was the rapper’s penchant for making controversial jokes at the attendees’ expense. In fact, the jokes went so far that even Snoop Dogg’s fans were disappointed.

Well, the 54-year-old rapper has seen many things in his life,...

Vixen is a piece of Sixties sexplotation from director Russ Meyer. The film straddles soft core porn, farce and action. It starts with a somewhat innuendos voice over placing the viewer in the Canadian bush. Tom Palmer (Garth Pillsbury) is a bush pilot. In his light plane he connects the isolated communities of the Canadian wilderness. Erica Gavin plays his loving and unfaithful wife, the film's titular - pun intended - protagonist.

While her husband is away, the hypersexual Vixen Palmer plays with almost anyone she can get her hands on. The exception is her brother Judd's (Jon Evans) friend Niles (Harrison Page), a black Vietnam draft dodger to whom she is overtly racist. Just as things are coming to a head between Vixen and Niles, Tom finds a new client, O'Bannion (Michael Donovan O'Donnell). O'Bannion is an Ira terrorist who plans to hijack Tom's plane and take it to Cuba.

Russ Meyer, who singlehandedly put the sexploitation film on the map in 1959 with his pioneering The Immoral Mr. Tees, was a veritable one-man band. He produced, wrote, directed, shot, and edited his own films, which are instantly recognizable by an inimitable aesthetic dominated by cuts delivered at a stupefyingly rat-a-tat pace. Meyer described his personal tastes as centered on “big bosoms and square jaws”, and his films usually traded in stereotypes pushed to the limits of absurdity and the cartoonish. Meyer’s ability to serve up heaping helpings of unabashed sex laced with withering social satire is virtually unrivaled.

So it was a lamentable loss for lovers of film (smut or otherwise) when Meyer’s work, practically ubiquitous in the VHS era, sank into unavailability at the dawn of the DVD era, with the sole exception of his one major studio production: 1970’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. But...

Zac Efron turned down the opportunity to play Matthew Perry again, the Friends actor revealed.

Efron and Perry co-starred in the 2009 movie 17 Again, in which the fictional 37-year-old Mike O'Donnell (Perry) is transformed back into his 17-year-old self (Efron) after expressing his regrets in life.

While promoting his new memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, on SiriusXM’s Pop Culture Spotlight With Jessica Shaw, Perry revealed that he is currently shopping around the screenplay for a rom-com he’s written.

Perry said that he wrote the lead role for himself only to realise that he was 20 years too old for the part.

Asked who his “dream younger version” of himself was by host Shaw, Perry replied: “Well, it was Zac Efron. But he said no. So, we’ve got to find someone who says yes.”

As for the female lead, Perry said that The White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza “almost did it.

Tina Peters, a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist who has been charged with breaching voting machines, lost her bid to become the secretary of state of Colorado. She’s not so sure, though. Despite finishing third in the race for the Republican nomination to take control of the state’s election systems, Peters refused to concede on Tuesday night, accusing election officials of “cheating” and saying the race is “not over,” according to the Associated Press.

Peters finished nearly 15 points behind local election official Pam Anderson. She also finished behind fellow 2020 election denier Mike O’Donnell.

Actor/director Warren Beatty screened his 1990 comic strip adaptation Dick Tracy last night in Hollywood, where he revealed a sequel is still in motion. Here's what he had to say at the Q&A session following the movie.

"When you're really doing good work is when you don't know you're working, and when something just occurs to you, and you go, 'Oh, of course.' I think it's dumb to talk about movies before you make them. I just don't do it. It gives you a reason to avoid making them.""

Warren Beatty declined to provide any plot details, casting possibilities, or a timeline when we might see a Dick Tracy sequel go into production. He also said a new remastered Blu-ray of Dick Tracy is in motion, although he wouldn't say when that would hit the shelves.

We reported last month that Warren Beatty prevailed in his lawsuit against Tribune Co.

Actor Warren Beatty prevailed in his ongoing legal battle with Tribune Co. over the movie rights to the Dick Tracy comic strip.

Warren Beatty obtained the rights to Dick Tracy in 1985 from Tribune Co., which he used to star in, direct and produce the 1990 Dick Tracy movie. There is a clause in Warren Beatty's agreement with Tribune that the rights would revert back to Tribune if he wasn't using them for a movie or TV project.

At issue was the 2009 TV special which featured Warren Beatty dressed in character as Dick Tracy, answering questions from film critic Leonard Maltin. The judge ruled this special provided adequate cause for Warren Beatty to retain the rights, even though the special only aired once on the Turner Classic Movies channel in July 2009.

It isn't clear what Warren Beatty actually plans to do with the rights, since that one-time TV special was only...
