Robin Thicke And Paula Patton’s Home Is Officially On The Market

by 53 mins ago

Sometimes, actions really do speak louder than words.

Although Paula Patton hasn’t responded to estranged husband Robin Thicke’s apology LP, Paula, the fact that the couple’s love nest in Bel-Air is officially on the market doesn’t bode well for a happy reunion.

TMZ confirms that the 3,158-square foot home was listed for sale Monday (July 21) with an asking price of $2,985,000.

While neither Robin nor Paula have reportedly moved out of the two-story home, they also apparently haven’t slept under the same roof since separating in February.

The house, which has a breathtaking view of Sunset Boulevard, comes with a recording studio, where Thicke likely recorded songs like “Get Her Back” for his seventh solo album.

Robin’s name is on the deed, despite that fact that his father, Alan Thicke, originally purchased the home in 1990 for $910,000.

Whitney Houston’s Mother Speaks Out Against Lifetime Biopic: ‘Let Her Rest’

by 1 hour ago

Whitney Houston’s family has a very simple message to her fans: “please let her rest.”

That’s the plea Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, made Tuesday (July 22) while condemning Lifetime’s upcoming biopic about her daughter, “I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story.”

“Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family’s objections, Cissy said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. “No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby [Brown].”

While the late icon’s fans have been eagerly anticipating the Angela Bassett-directed film, her family has not been happy about it. Whitney and Bobby’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, has already voiced her disapproval via comments on Twitter that have since been deleted.

Former America’s Next Top Model contestant Yaya DaCosta will play the role of Whitney, while Arien Escarpeta will play Bobby.

Although Bassett co-starred with Houston in “Waiting to Exhale,” the family feels as though the film won’t be an authentic account of their beloved Whitney.

“In the two years since Whitney’s death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her,” Cissy continued. “I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn’t know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please, please let her rest.”

“I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story” is set to premiere ...

Hear Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J And Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Track

by 9 mins ago

Three weeks ahead of the theatrical release of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot, Wiz Khalifa issued a sonic sai of his own with “Shell Shocked.”

Juicy J and Ty Dolla $ign are also featured on the track, which will be featured in the end credits of the film when it hits theaters.

According to Billboard, the song had been in the works for a year and a half.

“When they asked me to do it, just being a fan and being a musician, it made sense,” said Khalifa, who has a tattoo of Donatello on his calf. “In my generation, I think everyone who listens to me loves the Turtles as much as I do, so it just made sense.”

The song, which features the melody from the film’s score by Brian Tyler, starts off with a boisterous, multi-layered beat and a superhero worthy chorus: “knock, knock, you about to get shell shocked.”

First up to bat is Wiz, who serves up lines filled with the kind of TMNT references that a true fan would make.

“Us against the world we can battle whoever, together ain’t no way we gon fail,you know I got your back, just like a turtle shell,” he raps, before comparing Michelangelo to an orange Lamborghini.

The accompanying video is set to be released next week.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” hits theaters August 8.

A$AP Rocky Sued For Allegedly Slapping Female Fan At Concert

by 7 mins ago

Looks like A$AP Rocky has a legal dilemma to add to his list of “F–kin’ Problems.”

According to TMZ, fan Lisa Wade is suing the Harlem rapper for allegedly slapping her during the Made in America festival in Philadelphia.

Wade claims that the rapper born Rakim Mayers smacked her for no apparent reason as he made his way through the crowd.

Additionally, Wade argues that the “Wild For The Night” MC has a history of bad behavior, citing a similar incident that happened to a female fan in Australia.

When the incident occurred last year, she filed a criminal complaint claiming that the slap knocked her to the ground, disoriented her and gave her whiplash.

That complaint was withdrawn, but now she is suing for damages of at least $75,000.

‘Fight Club’ Is Getting A Comic-Book Sequel

by 33 mins ago

You DO NOT talk about “Fight Club.” Thankfully, Chuck Palahniuk will be breaking that cardinal rule with his highly-anticipated sequel, “Fight Club 2.”

According to USA Today, the author will collaborate with interior artist Cameron Stewart and cover artist David Mack to create a 10-issue comic maxiseries for Dark Horse Comics.

The comic series will bring back the book’s central characters, the unnamed narrator, Marla Singer and Tyler Durden, and will explore the narrator failing his 9-year old son Junior in the same way that his father failed him.

“The original book was such a tirade against fathers — everything I had thought my father had not done combined with everything my peers were griping about their fathers,” Palahniuk told USA Today. “Now to find myself at the age that my father was when I was trashing him made me want to revisit it from the father’s perspective and see if things were any better and why it repeats like that.”

The sequel featuring bare-knuckle brawls and romanticized anarchy was birthed at last year’s Comic-Con in New York.

“I messed up and said I was doing the sequel in front of 1,500 geeks with telephones,” Palahniuk said. “Suddenly, there was this big scramble to honor my word.”

“Fight Club 2″ will hit stores on April 8, 2015.

Sandra Bullock Lands Lead Role In Tupperware Biopic

by 24 mins ago

Everyone’s invited to Sandra Bullock’s next Tupperware party.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures has acquired the rights to the novel “Tupperware Unsealed,” with the Oscar-nominated actress attached to star in the untitled project.

The “Gravity” star will bring the life of Brownie Wise, the sales executive responsible for pushing the brand of preparation, storage, containment and serving products to the top with her Tupperware parties idea, to the big screen.

In 1954, Wise was the first woman to ever appear on the cover of Businessweek. Four years later, on the precipice of the women’s liberation movement, Tupperware ousted the marketing guru for clashing with creator Earl Silas Tupper.

“As a writer-director, Tate has the rare and delicate ability to capture both the romanticism and restrictions of a time and place – in this case 1950′s suburban America,” said Hannah Minghella, president of Production for Sony. “His characters are both immediately recognizable while also uniquely iconic. Such was the magic of Brownie Wise. There is no one better than Sandy to play Brownie — they share a fierce bravery and independent spirit.”

Tate Taylor, who is on board to direct the film, will also pen the adapted screenplay with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman.
