Amy Poehler Slams Oscars for Rejecting Comedy Movies

Amy Poehler called out the Oscars on her “Good Hang” podcast for always ignoring comedy movies when it comes time to giving out awards. Poehler’s latest episode featured Olivia Colman as a guest as part of the latter’s press tour for the Searchlight Pictures comedy “The Roses.” Colman stars opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, who called in to the “Good Hang” episode to chat briefly with Poehler.

“If you can do comedy, you can do anything. I really do believe that,” Cumberbatch proclaimed.

“Of course. You don’t have to tell me, babe!” replied Poehler, who is a bonafide comedy icon thanks to “SNL,” “Parks and Recreation,” her stints hosting the Golden Globes with Tina Fey and more.

“Every single year at the Oscars, everybody [in comedy] gets blanked and all the serious people get up and accept and accept,” Poehler said. “It’s some hot bullshit! Because comedy is not easy. And I got to tell you, both you and Olivia can do both.”

While the Oscars have certainly been embracing more movies with comedic elements over the years, including best picture winners such as “Anora” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” it usually snubs traditional comedies that don’t have a dramatic bent to them. Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” was a recent rare exception with eight nominations, but it did not win best picture and both Gerwig and star Margot Robbie were shockingly shut out of the best director and best actress races. Rian Johnson’s comedic “Knives Out” movies only got screenplay nominations, as did “Bridesmaids” all the way back at the 2012 Oscars.

As far as comedies in the upcoming 2025 Oscar race, the more dramatic-leaning ones such as Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia” and Noah Baumbach’s “Jay Kelly” are once again dominating the early Oscar buzz conversations. Traditional comedies such as “Friendship,” “Good Fortune” and “The Naked Gun” all earned strong reviews but are most likely long shots. Johnson is back with his third “Knives Out” movie, “Wake Up Dead Man,” but whether this franchise can break out into major categories like best picture or acting races remains to be seen.

Watch Colman’s full appearance on the “Good Hang” podcast in the video below.

Many actors face pressure to maintain a youthful appearance, which leads to heavy social media criticism. While some, like Rajkummar Rao and Khushi Kapoor, have admitted to using such treatments, actress Divya Khossla has strongly voiced her disapproval of cosmetic enhancements.

Divya Khossla SLAMS Botox Trend

Divya said that many people who go through these treatments end up looking very similar. Speaking to News 18, she said, “You can tell which doctor someone has gone to just by looking at their face.”

Divya shared that she prefers natural beauty and credits her upbringing and mother for that belief. “I never felt the need to follow beauty trends. I’ve never used fillers or Botox. My mother didn’t even let me bleach my face,” she revealed.

She also criticized young celebrities like Kylie Jenner, saying that using cosmetic treatments at a young age can make people look older. “Kylie started very young and now looks older than her age. It’s better to let ourselves age naturally, we might even look better as we grow,” she said.

Divya added that she avoids editing her photos with AI and prefers keeping some imperfections. “I hate it when my pictures are overly touched up. Some edits don’t even look like me,” she admitted. Despite facing criticism about her round face, Divya says she’s confident in how she looks. “I don’t fit the usual beauty standards, and I’m okay with that. I’m not obsessed with mirrors or make-up. What really matters is inner beauty,” she concluded.

On the work front, Divya was latest seen in Ek Chatur Naar brings together Divya Khossla and Neil Nitin Mukesh for the first time in a story revolving around a woman who is sharp with her wit and tries to outsmart everyone around her. Promising a complete rollercoaster of laughter and drama, Ek Chatur Naar lands in theatres on 12th September.

Actress Rupali Ganguly – who is currently ruling the TRP charts with her performance in and Anupamaa, is someone who always speaks her mind. Be it asking for TV actors to receive national recognition for their work at the National Awards or taking care of the animal around her show’s sets, the actress has always spoke her mind.

Earlier today, the actress took to social media and shared a video calling out the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) after being stuck for hours in traffic owing to their management during the construction of a metro near Film City. She also accused the BMC of taking Mumbaikars for granted. Scroll below to know all she said and watch the video of the traffic too.

Rupali Ganguly SLAMS BMC Over Traffic Outside Film City

Taking X (formerly Twitter), Rupali Ganguly share a video from outside Film City slamming the BMC and their ‘so-called management’. The ‘Anupamaa’ actress wrote, “Still stuck for over 1 hour now outside filmcity ! For a 14 km distance it takes me 2 hours to get home at night and mornings usually 1 hour but because of @mybmc haphazard functioning it took me 2 and a half hours to get to my set !! Stop taking #mumbaikars for granted @mybmc!!!! (sic)”

In the video, Rupali states that the road to Film City has been completely jammed for over 50 minutes owing to the metro construction on in the area. The actress is heard saying, “I have been waiting outside Film City. Now there is some Metro construction going on outside Film City. And this so-called management of the Metro, the BMC, whoever responsible, had to get such a big container. Half the road is anyway blocked because of it. If they had to get this, they should have done this at 3 am-4 am in the morning. Not at a time when everybody is going to work. At 10 am!”

Soon after this post, the actress shared another video while still stuck in traffic. She simply captioned it, “Innumerable trees destroyed Filmcity greenery destroyed Thank u @mybmc”

Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah slams audience for ignoring ‘good cinema’ like Nishaanchi, Dhadak 2: ‘So frustrating’ | Bollywood

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap released the trailer of his upcoming film Nishaanchi, which introduces Aaishvary Thackeray in his debut role, on Thursday. The director’s daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap, took to social media to share her frustrations about people wanting ‘good cinema’ but refusing to support such films when they release in theatres. Here’s what she said. (Also Read: Nishaanchi trailer out: Aaishvary Thackeray shines in double role in Anurag Kashyap’s quintessential masala film. Watch)

Aaliyah Kashyap penned a long note on her Instagram stories, drumming up support for her dad Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film.

Aaliyah Kashyap calls out people for not supporting ‘good cinema’

Aaliyah took to her Instagram stories to call out people who want ‘good cinema’ and yet rarely support films like Nishaanchi and Dhadak 2 when they run in theatres. She wrote, “It’s honestly so frustrating to see people CONSTANTLY say they want ‘good cinema’ but when good films actually release, hardly anyone goes to the theatre. This has been seen with so many films recently like Dhadak 2. And then years later they suddenly become cult classics or hidden gems.”

Adding that she would appreciate it if people watched Nishaanchi in theatres on 19 September, she wrote, “My dad @anuragkashyap 10 new film Nishaanchi comes out on September 19th, and I’ve seen firsthand the amount of love, work, and heart everyone involved has poured into it. If we really want good, impactful and meaningful cinema, we can’t just appreciate it in hindsight. Great cinema doesn’t get better with time, it deserves to be seen NOW.”

Aaliyah Kashyap urged the audience to watch Nishaanchi in theatres.

On critically acclaimed Bollywood films struggles

In another Instagram story, Aaliyah reflected how, unfortunately, this was nothing new for the audience as films like Lunchbox and October had struggled at the box office. “And honestly this isn’t something that’s new or just happening now. Some of the most amazing and critically acclaimed Bollywood films (Udaan, Lootera, Lunchbox, Masaan, October etc.) struggled at the box office when they were released. They don’t get that support when it actually matters and when audiences don’t show up, it makes it that much harder for more films like that to get made,” she wrote.

Aaliyah Kashyap wrote of how films like Udaan and Lootera didn't do well at the box office.

Jack Osbourne Slams Roger Waters Over Black Sabbath, Ozzy Comments

Jack Osbourne Slams Roger Waters Over Black Sabbath, Ozzy Comments

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Don’t mess with the Osbournes. On Tuesday, Jack Osbourne had some charged words for Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd co-founder said in the press that he “never did” care about Black Sabbath and “couldn’t give a fuck” about Ozzy Osbourne.

“Hey Roger Waters, fuck you,” Jack wrote on Instagram. “How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press.”

“My father always thought you were a cunt,” he added, using the hashtag #fuckrogerwaters. “Thanks for proving him right.”

In a recent interview with The Independent Ink, Waters seemed to have some pointed words about Osbourne, and also Black Sabbath’s music. “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life,” he said in the interview. “We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck.”

Waters added: “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.” (To be clear, the bat incident happened during Ozzy’s solo career, not while in Black Sabbath.)

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76 of a heart attack “out of hospital” and suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. The certificate, filed by his daughter Aimee Osbourne in London, listed his occupation as “Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.”

Osbourne spoke highly of Pink Floyd throughout his life, and called “Money” one of his favorite rock songs in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2004. Meanwhile, Waters has seemingly always been a Black Sabbath hater, and reportedly gave a mean review of their debut song, “Evil Woman,” in 1970, according to Far Out Magazine.

Trending Stories

“Well, well, well… I’m speechless – well, almost…” Waters said at the time. “You keep thinking it’s going to start. You think that for the first minute, but then, if you are really perceptive, you realise it isn’t going to start, and that’s all there is.”

Snoop Dogg Slams LGBTQ+ Representation in Kids Movies

Lightyear’s representation of a same-sex couple caused quite a bit of controversy at the time of its release, with countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates banning it altogether.

At one point, the scene was even cut from the film, per Variety, before it was later added back following former CEO Bob Chapek’s apology for the company’s silence surrounding Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.”

“Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was,” Chapek wrote in a March 2022 email to employees. “It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights.”

“You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down,” he continued. “I am sorry.”

Naomi Osaka Slams Jelena Ostapenko’s Worst Comment To Taylor Townsend

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Naomi Osaka has weighed in on the heated on-court drama between Latvian tennis star Jelena Ostapenko and African-American champion Taylor Townsend during their U.S. Open match on Wednesday (Aug. 27). The showdown ended with Townsend coming out on top, 7-5 and 6-1.

After shaking hands, Ostapenko was seen having an intense exchange with Townsend accusing her of having “no class” and “no education” after the Chicago native refused to apologize for benefiting from a net cord. The latter happens when a ball clips the net before dropping in play.

Townsend, however, held her ground and reportedly told her opponent, “No, I don’t have to say sorry.”

The exchange didn’t sit right with fellow Tennis champ, Osaka, who didn’t mince words when asked about the controversy.

“I think obviously it’s one of the worst things you can say to a Black tennis player in a majority White sport,” the 27-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion told reporters. “And granted, I know Taylor and I know how hard she’s worked and I know how smart she is, so she’s the furthest thing from uneducated or anything like that.”

Osaka, who has faced Ostapenko on the court multiple times, then hinted that this isn’t the first time the player has crossed a line. “If you’re genuinely asking me about the history of Ostapenko, I don’t think that’s the craziest thing she’s said,” she admitted. “I think it’s ill timing and the worst person you could have ever said it to. And I don’t know if she knows the history of it in America.”

Speaking to ESPN after the match, Townsend said, “People get upset when they lose. Some people say bad things.” She later doubled down in a press conference, explaining, “There’s no beef. But again, like you guys saw, I didn’t back down because you’re not going to insult me, especially after I carried myself with nothing but respect. If I show respect to you, I expect respect as well.”

Ostapenko, on the other hand, took to Instagram Stories to defend herself, denying any racist intent. “Wow how many messages I received that I am a racist. I was NEVER racist in my life and I respect all nations of people in the world, for me it doesn’t matter where you come from,” she wrote. She maintained that Townsend was “disrespectful” for not following what she described as unwritten tennis courtesy.

While Ostapenko insisted she meant no harm, Osaka says she believes the backlash will make the tennis player think twice in the future. “I know she’s never going to say that ever again in her life,” Osaka forshadowed. “But yeah, I mean, it was just terrible. Like, that’s just really bad.”

Take a look at the intense exchange above and Naomi Osaka’s comments.

Salman Khan Called Out Nehal Chudasama Over Food Drama

Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar: Salman Khan Slams Pranit More’s Jokes, Grills Gaurav Khanna For Task Betrayal; Blasts Nehal Chudasama Over Food Drama – Watch

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The Weekend Ka Vaar of Bigg Boss 19 once again saw Salman Khan holding contestants accountable, this time putting Nehal in the spotlight. The superstar addressed her emotional breakdowns in the house, reminding her that the platform demands strength and focus, not tears over trivial issues.

Salman Khan Confronts Pranit For Making Jokes At His Expense

Weekend Ka Vaar took a hard-hitting turn when Salman Khan put Pranit in the spotlight, calling him “Tanya’s satellite.” Salman pointed out that Pranit avoids expressing his views openly in the house, choosing instead to channel his thoughts only through Tanya. “You feel that no one gives bhaav to your territory. You don’t express your thoughts anywhere except to Tanya,” he remarked, urging him to step out of the comfort zone.

Salman further highlighted how Pranit’s humour often stays in the shadows, targeted at Gaurav, Zeishan, and Amaal behind their backs, while only Tanya gets the on-face version. Advising him to showcase his real personality, Salman said, “Don’t play at a safe distance. Your humour and personality are not getting displayed here. Do the crowd work on the face with the housemates.”

He also confronted Pranit about his jokes involving Salman himself, saying, “If you were me and I were you, how would you react to the fake punchlines you made on me? Using my name for your work, whether right or wrong, doesn’t bother me. If my name is helping you earn your rozi roti, I’m very happy for you.” Drawing a comparison, he added, “Kapil Sharma and Krushna also do comedy, but not the way you did.”

Closing on a note of encouragement, Salman reminded Pranit to use his humour constructively inside the house: “Do the comedy, but don’t go beneath the belt. The housemates won’t be as understanding as I am.”

Salman Hails Kunicka’s Leadership; Confronts Gaurav Khanna

In another incident, Salman Khan addressed brewing tensions inside the house. Turning his attention to Kunicka, the host praised her leadership, stating, “You’re the captain now, but you looked like a captain from the very beginning. With your experience, you tried to say everything clearly, but no one understood you.” As a token of appreciation, he also surprised her with a playful mini kitchen set.

The conversation then shifted to a moment Kunicka described as her “sadma” in the house — feeling let down by Gaurav during the captaincy task. She revealed, “He considered me like his mother, but when it came to support, he didn’t stand by me. I’m glad Tanya pointed it out, because I tend to take things at face value. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have realised it.”

Gaurav, however, defended his stance, explaining, “I didn’t know how the captaincy task was going to play out. That’s why I couldn’t go to her directly and say I wanted to support Ashnoor. I even informed Abhishek about it. If Tanya’s words had come with the right intention, Kunicka wouldn’t have been so upset.” But Salman Khan wasn’t entirely convinced, pointing out Gaurav’s misjudgment of Ashnoor and calling out his belief that the decision-making power rested solely with him.

Salman Khan Called Out Nehal Chudasama Over Food Drama

Salman also first questioned Nehal on why she cried over not getting food when fruits were still available in the house. “You made it look like you were crying because you weren’t fed at all. That’s not true,” Salman pointed out, leaving her visibly defensive. He then moved on to the thepla incident, where Nehal had asked Kunicka to make thinner theplas. While Kunicka complied, Nehal later called her rude for the same. “Everyone saw the episode, no one thought Kunicka was rude — except you,” Salman said firmly.

Pushing further, Salman asked Nehal what her “Gen Z style of replying” was, to which she could not respond.

With Salman making it clear that small complaints and misplaced accusations will not earn sympathy, the Weekend Ka Vaar once again turned into a mirror for contestants, exposing their actions for the world to see. Tune in to JioHotstar at 9 PM and COLORS at 10:30 PM.

Mo’Nique Slams Tyler Perry For Destroying Her Career + Claims ‘You Cost My Family Millions’ & Demands Public Apology

Mo’Nique is doubling down on her long-running feud with Tyler Perry, calling him out for what she says was a career-damaging falsehood.

Speaking on “Outlaws with TS Madison,” the Oscar-winning actress alleged Perry told “a lie” that derailed her livelihood. “And that lie cost me 12 years of my career,” she said.

Referring to Perry as “one of the biggest entertainers in the world,” Mo’Nique emphasized the emotional and financial toll his actions had on her.

“Tyler Perry, you cost my family millions and millions and millions of dollars,” she declared. “Until he fixes it, I will not stop.”

She called for Perry to publicly acknowledge his role, citing how he allegedly admitted during a private phone call that he regretted how he treated her.

“You publicly shamed me. So now you have to publicly fix it,” Mo’Nique insisted.

She also compared his behavior to that of Harvey Weinstein, accusing Perry of having a “God complex.”

If you recall, Mo has long accused Tyler or labeling her difficult to work with, leading to missed career opportunities.

Do you think these two will ever make amends?
