Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow Walk almost lost him the role ( Photo Credit – Facebook )
Johnny Depp’s quirky, unbalanced Jack Sparrow walk wasn’t just a fun visual gimmick—it almost tanked his shot at becoming Pirates of the Caribbean’s iconic captain.
Disney execs initially thought Depp’s eccentric portrayal was way too much. They were reportedly “scared to death” that audiences wouldn’t even understand what Sparrow was about. They even called Depp, asking if he was drunk. Depp, being Depp, turned Disney’s doubts into fuel. When studio reps tried to tone things down, he doubled down: “I turned it up.”
The original script for The Curse of the Black Pearl had Sparrow as a conventional action-packed pirate. But Depp had other plans. He cooked up his iconic portrayal while sitting in a sauna, imagining Sparrow’s brain would be “par-boiled” after days baking in the sun aboard a ship.

Russell Brand Explained His Presence at the Party (Photo Credit – Koimoi/Instagram)
The 49-year-old English podcaster, who was married to Katy Perry then, explained that he spent most of the evening conversing with Tom Green and left around 7 o’clock due to his marital status.
Russell added, “I’m glad I did. It turns out there was stuff that went on that I was not qualified to handle as someone who craves a deep and profound connection to God. When denied that connection to God, I’ll make ridiculous choices. How would you have done if you had been invited to a Diddy party back in the day?”
He continued, “I told you about when I went to Vegas with Diddy. And I went home early and had a little Diddy party alone, which was above board and legit. Thank you, heavenly Fathe,r for being there with me even...

Hollywood’s ultimate daredevil and heartthrob, Tom Cruise is someone whose name screams stunts, actions, and box office gold. Whether he’s hanging off in planes in Mission: Impossible or hitting Mach 10 in Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise is the guy who can deliver big-screen adrenaline. But he’s got more than just heart-defying action scenes and billion-dollar franchises. Of course, we know him for his usual stunt game, but hidden in his filmography are some real gems that didn’t get the hype they deserved but honestly, they should have.

Even before Donald Trump won the election, The View brought a lot of heated discussion from Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin. Unfortunately, the ABC show has been a mouthpiece for only one side of the political spectrum. Now, it’s been reported that a big shake-up might happen.
The View Needs To Change With The Times?
Whoopi Goldberg got so outspoken about Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D Vance, that she ended up apologizing to him. Of course, she’s been against Trump and the Republicans since about forever. But, her views might not be all that welcome by ABC execs in the future.
That might mean a huge change of direction for Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow co-hosts on The View. But perhaps that might be a lot better than not having a well-paying job. Strong rumors suggest that change is looming,...

When Bob Iger returned to the Disney CEO throne at the end of 2022, his first order of business was to dismantle a structure that saw the studio’s distribution and creative divisions operating separately. Instead, he put distribution and marketing under the control of Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman. One year later, Iger made clear that Disney would stay far away from the culture wars that had taken a toll on the company’s stock price amid a revolt from conservative consumers. “Creators lost sight of what their No. 1 objective needed to be,” he said at the DealBook Summit. “We have to entertain first. It’s not about messages.”

Chelsea Handler has spent 25 years in the entertainment industry, meaning she's crossed paths with countless celebrities. But one actor in particular so annoyed Handler that she banned him from her talk show.
A major aspect of Handler's appeal during her run on Chelsea Lately and Netflix's Chelsea was her ability to talk to anyone. The comedian had no problem discussing any topic and could put her guests at ease.
However, actor and comedian Russell Brand pushed Handler to her limits and seemingly broke the late-night host's goodwill. Brand visited Handler three times during the seven seasons Chelsea Lately aired on E!. But Handler made sure there was never going to be a fourth time.
Handler described Brand as a "pain in the a**" in an interview with Grazia magazine (via Her). "I would never want him back," Handler said. "He stopped all of our production schedules because he needed...

Sunset Blvd. again hit its highest grossing week yet at the St. James Theatre, bringing in $1.9 million, up $50,000 from the prior week, and playing to 95 percent capacity.
This marks the fourth consecutive week the musical has built upon its grosses, since opening Oct. 20. And, as was the case last week, the backlash against Nicole Scherzinger for commenting on what appeared to be a pro-Trump social media post by comedian Russell Brand seems to be minimal.
The grosses tally makes Sunset Blvd. the second highest grossing production in the industry last week, behind only Wicked, which brought in $2.4 million. The Lion King, which is typically in the second highest spot, saw its grosses tumble about $160,000 to reach just under $1.8 million.
Other new musicals are being closely watched to see if they can increase their grosses tally and stay running on Broadway longer term. Among those, new musical Maybe Happy Ending, starring...

Broadway’s hit musical revival Sunset Blvd. stayed strong last week amidst the controversy surrounding star Nicole Scherzinger’s social media post interpreted (or rather misinterpreted) by many as an endorsement of Donald Trump.
The latest Broadway grosses (for the week ending November 10) indicate that Sunset Blvd. was up $134,498 over the previous week. With attendance at the St. James Theatre at 97% of capacity (compared to 95% the previous week), the show’s total gross was a very strong $1,857,562.
In fact, the weekly gross for Sunset Blvd. was the Broadway roster’s third-highest for the week, behind only the usual favorites The Lion King ($1.9M) and perennial top grosser Wicked ($2.5M).
Scherzinger, in case you somehow missed it, set off a backlash last week after posting a response to Maga comedian and accused sexual assaulter Russell Brand, with Scherzinger asking where she, too, could get a red ball cap inscribed with “Make Jesus First Again.

Despite the controversy over Nicole Scherzinger’s social media post, Sunset Blvd. just had its highest grossing week yet.
The musical revival, starring Scherzinger as Norma Desmond, brought in $1.86 million last week, the third highest total in the industry for the week, and played to close to 97 percent capacity at the St. James Theatre.
The grosses came in a week in which Scherzinger came under fire for commenting on a social media post by comedian Russell Brand, in which Brand posted a picture of himself holding a hat that said “Make Jesus First Again,” with the appearance of a Trump Maga hat. In screengrabs that circulated online, Scherzinger appeared to have replied to the picture with the comment, “Where do I get this hat!!!?” Scherzinger’s comment is no longer on the post.

The View hosts on Monday defended Broadway star Nicole Scherzinger after the singer-actress faced backlash for her comment on an Instagram post from Russell Brand.
Scherzinger’s Instagram account commented on a recent post from Brand, the controversial comedian and podcaster who faces numerous allegations of sexual assault, just days after last Tuesday’s presidential election. Brand’s post featured a photo of the comedian, who recently converted to Christianity, holding a red hat that said “Make Jesus First Again” with the hat resembling Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” caps.
In response to the photo, Scherzinger appeared to have replied in a since-deleted comment, “Where do I get this hat!!!?” The Sunset Boulevard star apologized for the comment on social media Friday, when she wrote in a lengthy statement that “many presumptions are being drawn, which do not reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who I voted for.

Update, with video: The View today came to the defense of Broadway’s Nicole Scherzinger against the “mob mentality” of social media, even saying the Sunset Blvd. star should not have apologized for liking Russell Brand’s Maga-style “Make Jesus First Again” ball cap.
After View moderator Whoopi Goldberg reminded viewers during today’s Hot Topics segment that Scherzinger was raised in conservative Kentucky, is a devout Catholic and has supported the LGBTQ community, she asked her co-panelists for their thoughts on the online backlash.
All defended Scherzinger, whose performance as Norma Desmond has drawn rave reviews and Tony Award speculation. Her comment on Brand’s X page was criticized as, at best, tone deaf given that her recent stage success comes within a generally liberal Broadway community that views Maga as detrimental to the rights of gay people and women.

A new report suggests that Russell Brand is in trouble with the law for a reason separate from the allegations of sexual assault that surfaced last year.

Russell Brand has been charged by UK police over alleged driving offences, the Standard newspaper reports.
The British newspaper reports that it has obtained court papers revealing the controversial figure faces two allegations of speeding, along with two counts of failing to disclose if he or someone else was behind the wheel of a Mini registered to Brand.
This is a separate police matter from London’s Metropolitan Police investigation into allegations of sex crimes made against Brand by multiple women, all of which he denies.
September 2023 saw The Sunday Times newspaper and broadcaster Channel 4’s Despatches investigation teams collaborate on an investigation into Brand’s sexual history, which he has admitted was “very, very promiscuous.”
After the allegations came out, he posted a video denying all claims against him and saying any sexual interactions were “absolutely always consensual.”

Updated with Scherzinger’s apology: Nicole Scherzinger, the former Pussycat Doll and X Factor judge who recently surprised the New York theater community by turning in one of the best-reviewed Broadway performances of the season, unleashed another revelation this week that isn’t being so well-received.
Scherzinger, considered a top Tony contender for her starring role in Sunset Blvd., set off a social media backlash after responding favorably to a post-Trump-victory Instagram post by Russell Brand, the comedian, Christian convert and subject of a London police investigation on sexual assault allegations.
The day after Tuesday’s election, Brand posted a photograph of himself wearing a Maga-like red baseball cap inscribed with the words “Make Jesus First Again.”

Nicole Scherzinger is under fire on social media right now for posting support for Russell Brand‘s “Make Jesus First Again” hat following Donald Trump‘s election win.
Russell, an outspoken supporter of Trump, celebrated the president’s second win by smiling wide while showing off the hat.
“God Bless America,” Russell captioned the post.
Nicole is currently starring on Broadway in the revival of Sunset Boulevard and is considered to be having a career resurgence thanks to her incredible performance in the show.

Detectives investigating sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand have asked prosecutors to consider bringing charges against the former comedian.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed it had received “a number of allegations of sexual offenses in London” and elsewhere in the U.K. following a joint investigation into Brand by Channel 4’s Dispatches, The Times and The Sunday Times in September 2023. The program aired extensive allegations including ones of rape and sexual assault against Brand.
The Briton has denied all claims made against him, which date between 2006 and 2013 when the 49-year-old was at the height of his fame working on Big Brother’s Big Mouth, Kings of Comedy and Big Brother’s Celebrity Hijack. A Banijay U.K.-commissioned investigation later found informal complaints concerning Brand were made over 20 years ago on set.

BBC chair Samir Shah has vowed to tackle “unacceptable behavior” at the broadcaster following the Huw Edwards scandal.
Edwards, who was until last year the BBC’s most high-profile and highly-paid news anchor, went on medical leave after being outed in a scandal involving allegedly paying a teenager for photographs. This year he was convicted of making indecent images of children in a separate incident, which saw him narrowly escape a prison sentence.
The BBC has also been tainted by other #MeToo-style scandals over the years allegedly perpetrated by some of its talent including Jimmy Savile, Russell Brand, Rolf Harris and DJ Tim Westwood.
While Shah, who stepped into the role of BBC chair eight months ago, did not directly name Edwards, in a speech today at the Leeds Conservatoire on the future of U.K. public service broadcasting he acknowledged “there have been and are concerns about in the BBC.

Though the story is only going one way after a disappointed Vegas conjuror returns to New Zealand to look after the child he’s never met, it’s a fun ride

Police detectives investigating Russell Brand regarding historic allegations of sex crimes have asked prosecutors to consider bringing criminal charges against the media personality, according to BBC.
The decision by law enforcement stems from a September 2023 investigative report by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches, which includes testimony from four women who accused the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor of sexual assault, rape and emotional abuse across a seven-year period at the height of his fame in 2006-2013. One of the women, none of whom know each other and the majority of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity, was 16 at the time of the offense. While Brand has denied the allegations, the women said they felt compelled to speak up given the former presenter’s newfound platform as a right-wing evangelical influencer, who is currently selling a $240 “magical amulet” that wards off Wi-Fi and other “evil energies.”

Katy Perry at an event, reflecting on her unusual collection of celebrity hair locks (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Here’s a throwback for the books: Katy Perry once kept little souvenirs from two of pop’s most prominent icons—and they weren’t autographs or selfies. It was a lock of hair from both Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Yep, you read that right. Hair. In her purse. Perry spilled the quirky detail during an audience Q&a at her Prism album release party for iHeartRadio, recalling that she’d snagged the locks at one of her first Grammy appearances.
“One of the first times I went to the Grammys, I got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift,” Perry told the audience. “I asked them for a lock of their hair from each one, which is creepy but awesome.” And this wasn’t just some random,...

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was ‘intense,’ says Russell Brand
In May 2010, Russell Brand told BlackTree TV that he felt very “looked after” by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. “He looked after me, he took me on an enforced holiday to Vegas,” Brand explained
He shared, “[Combs] is a very intense man because, I think, he comes from nothing, and now he’s very powerful. People that do stuff like that, they’re intense.”
“Now, I like him. He’s very influential. Say, Diddy went, ‘Could you pick me up for the airport? I’ve just got back from holiday.

You may have heard that Hollywood actor Zachary Levi, best known for his role as Shazam in the Dceu, recently endorsed GOP candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Following support from more prominent celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence for Kamala Harris, Levi has joined a controversial list of lesser-known celebrities endorsing Trump, including Roseanne Barr, Russell Brand, Jim Caviezel, Kelsey Grammer, Rob Schneider, Jon Voight, and James Woods.
Levi initially supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has since withdrawn from the race and encouraged voters to back Trump. With Rfk Jr. out of the picture, Levi has naturally(?) transitioned to endorse Trump’s campaign.
While it’s unclear why he chose to publicly support Trump or how closely his political views align with Trump’s, this endorsement has led to significant backlash. Many fans are bitterly disappointed by his decision, with some going so far as to...

You might have heard it – or not – but Hollywood actor Zachary Levi, probably best known for portraying the superhero Shazam in the Dceu, has recently endorsed GOP candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
After some – obviously more relevant – celebrities, like Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence, supported Kamala Harris, Levi has now joined a list of mostly controversial and not-so-relevant celebs who have supported Trump, including but not limited to Roseanne Barr, Russell Brand, Jim Caviezel, Kelsey Grammer, Rob Schneider, Jon Voight, and James Woods.
And while Levi said that he initially endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently withdrew from the elections and told the people to vote for Trump, now that Rfk Jr. is out, Levi – naturally(?) – joined Trump’s campaign as a celebrity endorser.

As part of the effort, it’s shutting down a company called Social Design Agency, “which the Treasury Department previously sanctioned for allegedly running fake news sites in Europe on behalf of the Russian government.”
The government released Social Design Agency internal documents that detail its plans to influence the election, including spreading disinformation in swing states and monitoring the accounts of people it considers “influencers,” including comedians. That caught the attention of Redditor cannonfunk who posed a question to the r/StandUpComedy subreddit: “The Russians are actively targeting comedians who might be easily bribed to spread their propaganda. Who do you think was on the list?”
Here are the most likely candidates — at least according to the number of r/StandUpComedy upvotes received for each nomination. A reminder...

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.
