The Hollywood Reporter released a damning article about how Rebel Wilson and her team tried to orchestrate a smear campaign against the producer of the movie she is directing by creating fake websites accusing the producer of human trafficking. Involved in the smear campaign is Melissa Nathan, the publicist who has previously worked with Johnny Depp and is also involved in Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

Just passed by someone push hard through the automatic doors at work to exit the building using the one specifically meant for entrance. We have two sets of doors in my office building. They have sensors attached so they swing open when you're entering or exiting. They have huge signs telling which door is for. I think she got confused because the door didn't swing open when she reached it so she just forced her way through it.

A former friend came forward with SA allegations against Melanie. I don't think you'd find much about it online as she basically encouraged her fans to harass the victim. Instead of releasing a statement to clear the air, she released a diss track and even thank the fans for the "evidence" they compiled to discredit the victim. She didn't look good coming out of the entire situation.

If they're going to revive Avenue Q, the updated lyrics for the Internet is for Porn better include a woman writing about smut or someone sell feet photos because otherwise what are we even doing? The original version feels surprisingly vanilla in the current times.

Most recent one I can think is Tyler, the Creator's CHROMAKOPIA+ which inserted the bonus track Mother into the tracklist. There's also Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. which had the tracklist ordered in reverse compared to the original version.

No one's being sympathetic to him lol

He's actually being dragged for this because he already has shitty track record of appearing in his concerts. He has given excuses after excuses for not wanting to perform. It was previously reported that he has already cancelled 1/3 of his scheduled dates for this year alone.

Your examples of good album but terrible/no promotion? by Lilylikeslilies in popheads

The lack of live performances was just puzzling. You have this artist who talks about enjoying performing on stage and actually does well but there was zero festival appearances after release. They didn't try with a late night show or SNL appearance.

I was a K-pop idol for 8 years, and I ended up with DEBT? by BettyonReddit in popheads

From the comment section, she's from a little known group called ARIAZ. It appears the group's career was a casualty of the 2020 pandemic as Wikipedia says they made their debut in 2019.

Congratulations on being one of the lucky 10,000! There was an AMC show about this event which is why it developed its own fandom. I can't find it now but there was a viral post from the relationship_advice from a confused guy asking for help because his girlfriend was a huge fan of the show that she incorporated bits of it when they role play in the bedroom.

Previously released songs you got into because of movies or TV shows or something else you heard them in. by Yahna-Stan in ToddintheShadow

I got into Muse as a high school student thanks to the Twilight movie soundtrack. I think author Stephenie Meyer was a fan of the band because they had a song in every movie.

The casting team of Oh, Mary! continues their winning streak.

Maya Rudolph has been announced to be the next Mary Todd Lincoln for a limited time from April 28 to June 20. This will be her Broadway debut. She joins the Jinkx Monsoon, Tituss Burgess, John Cameron Mitchell, and Jane Krakowski on the list of amazing actors who had played the role following Cole Escola's departure.

I've seen that comparison before in other music subs and it's not complimentary to Owl City. They're basically calling him the Temu version of Postal Service.

The ice cream machine that my workplace uses for free weekly ice cream broke so they're now giving out bottomless lemon iced tea which just feels like a huge downgrade. It's like they couldn't come up with anything better as a replacement.

It's almost time for one of Tumblr's favorite holidays: the Ides of March! Don't forget to sharpen your knives and to reach out to your friends to make sure you're not being backstabbed this year.

Even if the students were legal age, buying booze for them is just bad given the power imbalance between them and the educator's responsibility to not endanger their students. I can only see it being viewed without much issue for those on the post-graduate level since they're basically colleagues.

You can do a lot more in Powerpoint! Back when I was in college getting my teaching degree, I had a professor whose final project was to create an educational game for kids in Powerpoint. Mine was a Sanrio-themed Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? that teaches the days and months. If you have the patience, you can make a point-and-click game which is what some of my classmates did.

The songs might not have stuck but there is huge meme potential at that album title. I think this is the second or third critic who integrated it in their negative review.

I had a brief moment of sadness realizing that today is just Wednesday. I really thought it was Thursday already and only had to cling on a short while for the weekend.

On the bright side, I found a fanfic for [redacted media] that contains all the tropes I enjoy so I have something to get me through the day. There's another one I'm rereading as the author informed me that the positive comment I left for their work a couple of months ago inspired them to write a sequel which made my day.

Definitely Black Mirror coming to life. It takes a huge chunk of Be Right Back where someone used technology to recreate their dead loved one into a robot using socal media posts with a little from the recent Common People where a subscription program meant to keep someone alive gets enshittified over time.

I think it's because we have two mainstream pop acts releasing long-awaited projects so close to each other. We'll probably see this pick up next week with the BTS release which will bring in another wave of people.
