Scarlett Johansson’s husband, Colin Jost, has been making quite a few headlines these past few months with his interesting humor on SNL. Although his joke about his wife Scarlett Johansson has given birth to quite the controversy, a new joke has had the opposite effect on the masses.

That is the infamous commentary he made on actor-comedian Russell Brand and the se*ual assault charges against him in the latest episode of Saturday Night Live.

His quip caught even more of the audience’s attention because of the way Scarlett Johansson’s husband pounced on the opportunity to drag not only Russell Brand but also another famous celebrity for his past misconduct at the same time. Inevitably, the audience has things to say about that.

Russell Brand was once a darling amongst the folks who appreciated British comedy. They loved him for his brash and quick-witted humor, which was filled with an eccentric charm. From his early days as a stand-up comedian to his breakout roles in Hollywood, Brand has earned a name for himself.

But after many past controversies, his reputation is once again hanging by a thread. In recent years, he’s reinvented himself as a right-wing wellness influencer, but multiple women have accused him of misconduct.

So, who exactly is the real Russell Brand, the anti-establishment truth teller with an esoteric persona, or the man who’s now facing serious criminal charges?

Ariana Grande is out here living her best life, sipping her Starbucks, hitting those high notes, and minding her business. But the internet, being the internet, has decided that her body is now the topic of global discussion. Because, of course, it is.

It’s a tale as old as time, women, especially celebrities, can’t exist in peace without someone, somewhere, dissecting their bodies like a Thanksgiving turkey. So, while certain individuals like Andrew Tate are out there handing out imaginary “access denied” cards, let’s talk about what really matters. Why people need to stop body-policing women and why Ariana Grande is still that girl.

For every controversial event that leaves a mark on our society, ample circumstantial evidence or a case of reasonable doubt has given birth to conspiracy theories. According to Zachary Levi, the primary conspiracy theory surrounding the disgraced public figure Jeffrey Epstein has been centered around his death or… the lack of evidence thereof.

Although conspiracy theorists often like to defy all logic to root their ideas in pseudo-facts, the “Jeffrey Epstein is alive” theory does not sound as far-fetched as “the Earth is flat.” Even though on a scale of benign to malevolent, Epstein’s existence would certainly lean toward the more evil side of things, there is no stopping people from cooking up conspiracy theories to feed their curiosity.

Andrew Tate used derogatory terms to address presidential candidate Kamala Harris after she allegedly faked a phone call to a voter. Harris was at a phone bank in Washington D.C., calling voters to thank them. During one such call, Harris asked the voter if they had already cast their vote. Harris then smiled and showed her phone to the cameras, hinting that she had secured that vote.

However, Republican supporters were quick to notice that she had her front camera on when she showed the phone to the cameras. They alleged that the call never happened and that it was staged by Harris for the press. Tate, who has spoken out against Harris before, responded to the video with some demeaning comments.

James Watkins’ take on the Danish horror movie Speak No Evil with the James McAvoy starrer of the same name has been gaining momentum with each passing day. The movie also presented the Scottish actor in a darker tone, bringing back the same horror and fear-filled sequences from the original.

However, as soon as the viewers witnessed his serial killer character Paddy, there were several headlines stating that this character is apparently based on social media personality Andrew Tate.

The actor did mention Tate in one of his past interviews. But now, McAvoy’s new interview detailed how his comments were taken out of context.

Logan Paul and MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) are two of the biggest YouTube content creators in the entire world right now. The impact both individuals have had on the community and world around them has been tremendous, touching lives with their unique style of content, or in Paul’s case, taking over the WWE.

It was in the year of 2012, that a 13-year-old Jimmy Donaldson created his YouTube account that eventually blew up after he posted a video of him counting from 1 to 100,000. Paul’s career shot up differently, starting as a creator on Vine and eventually transitioning to YouTube once the platform shut down in 2017. But now, both are making millions on and off YouTube as well.

Content warning: cites and links to reporting and personal essays on sexual abuse

We’re coming up on the seventh anniversary of a world-changing event: the publication of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s bombshell New York Times exposé, “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades.” The story had immediate effect in the entertainment industry, as survivors of sexual misconduct (or worse) by powerful men came forward with their own stories, seeing evidence that journalists were interested in reporting out their stories. Historically, abusers with enough money or clout could kill damaging features about their actions; maybe that era was finally coming to an end. Or maybe abusers have just spent the last seven years learning how to ride out allegations and then go back to work.

If you were even dimly aware of the news in the days after the initial Times report, you probably remember several...

Logan Paul has gone from being a YouTube celebrity to being signed onto the WWE brand as a professional wrestler. The wrestler has been featured in the Smackdown brand of the WWE and stands as the WWE United States Champion. The Internet personality also had a professional boxing career before this, along with his brother Jake Paul.

Paul made headlines again when he recently threw shade at the Tate brothers in a podcast, as Andrew Tate had challenged him and his brother Jake Paul to a match. The YouTuber mentioned that the duo would win the match, calling Tristan Tate a ‘weak link’. Tate, who was a kickboxer reportedly hit back at the Paul brothers’ comments with his own insults.

Social media influencer and part-time professional wrestler Logan Paul admitted to walking out on Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer.

On the latest episode of his podcast, ImPaulsive, Paul sat down to discuss the hit horror film Talk to Me with the sibling Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou. After disclosing that he found the thriller flick about spirits to be far too slow, the conversation veered into the recent, biographical movie.

“I walked out of Oppenheimer,” said Paul. “I didn’t know what they were trying [to do]. ‘What are you doing?’ Everyone’s just talking. It’s just an hour and a half, 90 minutes, of talking, just talking, talking.”

The take briefly left the Philippou brothers, his co-host George Janko and likely many others, astonished.

Despite Paul’s opinion, many others disagree. Rotten Tomatoes gave an average rating of 8.6 out of 10, while Metacritic dolled out a score of 88 out of 100. Longtime...

"As real as everything might seem... you're safe." Vertical Ent. has released a trailer for a horror film titled No Escape, the latest from filmmaker Will Wernick. Wernick directed a 2017 horror called Escape Room, which is not the same as the Sony Pictures horror Escape Room, but they all have the same concept anyway.

This time, the story follows a narcissistic vlogger / influencer who ends up traveling to Moscow with his friends to visit a special escape room. "Always pushing the limits and catering to a growing audience, they enter a cold world of mystery, excess, and danger." This stars Keegan Allen, Holland Roden, Denzel Whitaker, Ronen Rubinstein, Pasha Lychnikoff, George Janko, and Siya. Everything in this looks derivative - every scene is ripped off from other horror.

Paul's 11-minute video, posted to YouTube on Monday, started off with him trying to drive a car out of a driveway, but he ended up hitting a row of trashcans along the way. "I hate this challenge!!" Paul screamed after hitting the trashcans. Since driving didn't work...
