What to Know About the Controversy Surrounding Dave Chappelle's Latest Netflix Special

Image
Netflix released Dave Chappelle 's latest comedy special, The Closer , on Oct. 5, and the controversy surrounding it has been growing by the day. In case you missed it, the 72-minute comedy special has received a slew of complaints from viewers for its "dangerously transphobic content" that targets transgender people and makes them the butt of several tasteless jokes. The Closer , which acts as the final special to complete Chappelle's "body of work" with Netflix, shows the 48-year-old comic taking the stage to "set the record straight" one last time as he gets "a few things off his chest." One of the main things he addresses in his special is his stance around the transgender community, which left a lot of people taken aback with how ruthless his commentary is. "Sometimes the funniest thing to say is mean," Chappelle notes in a trailer montage for The Closer . "Remember, I'm not saying it to be mean: I'm sayin

14 LGBTQ+ Characters Who Forged the Path For Representation on TV

Image
Although Hollywood at times still adheres to unflattering stereotypes of the LGBTQ+ community , representation in media has come a long way in the past 20 years or so. It's been an arduous, uphill battle for the community, and while we're still fighting that fight - especially when it comes to stories centering trans , nonbinary, and BIPOC folks - it's important to pay tribute to the trailblazers who have paved the way thus far. In honor of LGBTQ+ History Month , we've rounded up some of the television characters who influenced the way we see queer culture. Starting as early as the '90s, these characters helped break down barriers that kept the LGBTQ+ community in the shadows for far too long. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/best-lgbtq-tv-characters-48529821

Turns Out, Jaden Michael Was a Fan of Colin Kaepernick Way Before Snagging His Netflix Role

Image
You know how the saying goes, never meet your heroes? Well, for Colin in Black & White star Jaden Michael, his experience portraying Colin Kaepernick wouldn't have been complete if he didn't have the chance to meet the former San Francisco 49ers player - let alone work with him. According to Michael, part of the audition process for the limited Netflix series was meeting Kaepernick face-to-face (via Zoom, that is) and he was more than thrilled to share a meeting with the man whom he has admired long before the series even developed. "It was supposed to be 30 minutes and it ended up being an hour and a half because we just started talking about music, our childhoods, what it means to be Black in America," Michael told Variety during an interview, referencing the first time he met Kaepernick. "I learned so much about him and how he came to this point where he is the legend he is today. I was so nervous. I really never fan out over people, but Colin is so m

Macaulay Culkin Won't Be in the Home Alone Reboot, but This Other Cast Member Will

Image
When the Disney+ Home Alone reboot Home Sweet Home Alone was announced, fans of the original hit holiday film all had the same question: will Macaulay Culkin reprise his role as an adult version of the beloved Kevin McCallister? It's been more than three decades since the debut of Home Alone , and its warm reception resulted in the concept turning into a franchise. Macaulay appeared in two of the four installments: the original hit and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York . However, he skipped out on Home Alone 3 and the made-for-TV version titled Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House . Now, the franchise is back for a rebooted hit titled Home Sweet Home Alone . So of course, given that it's a reboot and not a sequel, fans were naturally curious about whether Macaulay would have a cameo or even resurrect his role as an all-grown-up Kevin. Unfortunately for Kevin stans, Culkin confirmed he wouldn't be involved in the upcoming holiday film on Twitter. "Hey y'all,&qu

Cardi Tries Facing Her Fears This might be the craziest thing I ever did OMG! 😱Facing my fear of heights with Denzel and Ricky. #CardiTries Posted by Cardi B on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 I will never understand how a pregnant Cardi B found time to embark on such a wild adventure to face her fear of heights, but I certainly applaud her bravery. In the latest episode of the rapper's Facebook Watch series, Cardi Tries , social media stars Rickey Thompson and Denzel Dion challenge the Grammy-winning superstar with some risqué escapades to help her conquer her fear, recruiting the help of a virtual-reality headset and a very, very tall crane. "People think that facing your fears means ghosts and haunted houses," Cardi said, opening up about her fears in the episode. "I'm not afraid of that. I'm afraid of heights and oceans." And I don't blame her at all, because it takes a lot to say yes to something as unhinged as this. At some point durin

The Big Mystery Remains: Who Is Responsible For Clare's Death in Passing?

Image
Nella Larsen's 1929 novel Passing has finally made its way onto the big screen, and we're still scratching our heads over that ending. Who killed Clare (Ruth Negga)? That's the question on everyone's lips after Clare falls to her death in the final moments of the film. Did Clare's husband, John ( Alexander Skarsgård ), push her out of the window? Or, was it Irene (Tessa Thompson)? Both Irene and John had motive to kill Clare, a Black woman who had been living her life "passing" as a white woman, but did they actually do it? Perhaps it was neither of them and Clare is actually responsible for her own death? We have so many questions. Unfortunately, Clare's death is also left a mystery in the book, so all we can do is theorize about who dunnit. Passing is out in select theaters now and will be available to stream on Netflix on Nov. 10.

Eugene Levy Says Dan Wrote a Schitt's Creek Episode to Get Back at Him, and It's So Savage

Image
Dan Levy had a bone to pick with his father, Eugene Levy , while filming Schitt's Creek . Following the release of the behind-the-scenes book Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt's Creek filled with cast interviews, Eugene appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Oct. 28 and shared a funny story about a classic Schitt's Creek episode titled "The Drip." In the episode, Eugene's character, Johnny Rose, is slowly drenched overnight due to a leak in the ceiling. Eugene explained that he's "touchy" about his hair getting wet because it "takes a while to get my hair to look the way I think it should look." When he read the script, he recalled saying, "Ugh, Dan, really? It can't drip anywhere else except on my hair?" Turns out, the episode was intentionally written by Dan to drive his dad crazy. Things only got worse when they shot the scenes and Dan kept telling everyone Eugene's hair needed to be wetter.

The Dune Sequel Is Happening, but Will Zendaya Be in It? Here's the Deal

Image
Dune , the latest sci-fi hit at the box office, has an incredible plot that already has fans eager for details about the sequel, Dune: Part 2 . The cast is packed with incredible actors like Timothée Chalamet , Jason Momoa , Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin , Oscar Isaac, and Javier Bardem . Still, a large amount of the excitement around the film focused on superstar talent Zendaya . After fans realized she only gets approximately seven minutes of screen time in the film's entirety, those who are obsessed with her (aka me - like, seriously obsessed) were left wondering: Will she be in the sequel? And if so, what type of role will she have? In Dune: Part 1 , Chalamet plays Paul Atreides of planet Caladan, and Zendaya acts alongside him as Chani, a Fremen girl native to the planet Paul's family has been given control over, Arrakis . The two are the film's romantic leads, and they have undeniable chemistry (even if Zendaya is only on screen for seven minutes). While most o
