"Birds of Prey" Performing Lower At Box Office Than Anticipated
“Birds of Prey” is failing to meet opening weekend box office expectations. It looks like Birds of Prey will not be soaring as high as expected at the box office. The DC Extended Universe film is projected to bank only $12.6 million on Friday, which puts it on track for a $33.5 million opening weekend. This falls short of previous estimates, as noted by Deadline, which had the film performing within the $50 million to $55 million range. While Warner Brothers anticipated an opening weekend closer to $45 million, the film would still fail to meet these expectations. Thursday night previews were a bust as well, raking in a measly $4 million...

Antarctica Reaches 65 Degrees, Warmest Temperature Its Ever Seen
It was warmer in Antarctica than it was in New York on Thursday. Antarctica reached the warmest temperature it’s ever recorded, earlier this week, as reported by Complex. A meteorological agency from Argentina recorded temperature at 18.3°C (65°F) on Thursday. Antarcitica.gov states that average temperature ranges from −10°C on the Antarctic coast to −60°C inland. In the summer, temperatures occasionally rise above 10°C. Victoria University of Wellington climate scientist Professor James Renwick tells The Guardian that the World Meteorological Organization committee will verify this record: “Of course the record does need to be checked, but pending those checks, it’s a perfectly valid record and that station...
Nick Young Broke Into Kobe Bryant’s Locker During College Tournament
Nick Young shares a classic Kobe story. Nick Young, former teammate of Kobe Bryant, broke into Bryant’s locker in the Staples Center and stole his knee pads during a tournament in college. It was the start of the Pac-10 (now the Pac-12) tournament and Young was playing for USC. He stole two knee pads out of Kobe’s locker and wore them during the opening game. They looked out of place, seeing as USC’s colors are cardinal and gold and the knee pads were purple. Young explained the story on the Certified Buckets podcast earlier this week: “But the tournament is...
Prada Agrees To "Racial Equity Training" After Backlash For Blackface Products
Prada has reached a settlement with the New York City Commission on Human Rights. Just in the past year, we’ve seen multiple instances of brands being called out for selling products that were deemed racially insensitive. Gucci had that bizarre blackface-reminiscent sweater. Prada had those Pradamalia figurines, accused of depicting racist caricatures of black people. When these stories arise, many wonder, “How did this design make it through so many checkpoints before being released to the public?” Turns out, some of the world’s biggest brands don’t have diversity councils to review products and campaigns. Prada has now committed to...

Artists aren’t happy. The divide between Mase and Diddy continues. The former friends and collaborators haven’t worked together in years, but their relationship was recently revisited when Mason Betha aired out alleged dirty laundry. According to a lengthy Instagram post made by the Harlem World rapper, he was disheartened by Diddy’s comments about “black love” and “black excellence” because the music mogul wouldn’t even sell him his publishing. Kevin Winter / Staff / Getty Images Mase wrote that he approached Diddy with $2 million in hopes of purchasing his publishing, but the Bad Boy Records founder rejected him. “Your response...Recent Posts
