Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson Netflix Documentary Reportedly Scrapped

A highly anticipated documentary project centered on former One Direction members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson has reportedly been scrapped. The project, which was intended to capture the two singers reconnecting during a spontaneous journey across the United States, appears to have been derailed by an alleged physical altercation between the pair.

Reports regarding the production first surfaced last October, suggesting that Netflix was developing a three-part series to offer fans an intimate look at the duo’s relationship. The project was set to be directed by Nicola Marsh, known for her work on the streaming platform’s Song Exploder series. However, despite the initial buzz, the project was never officially confirmed by the streaming giant.

According to a report published by The Sun on April 17, the cancellation follows a serious incident that allegedly took place six months ago. The report claims that an argument escalated when Malik allegedly made a remark regarding Tomlinson’s late mother, Johannah, who passed away from leukaemia in 2016. The source alleged that Malik struck Tomlinson in the face, resulting in a cut and requiring medical attention for a suspected concussion.

Shortly after the report was made public, director Nicola Marsh took to her Instagram Stories to share the headline, adding the poignant caption: “And there goes the last year of work.” Neither Malik nor Tomlinson has issued a public statement regarding the allegations or the status of the documentary.

The project was expected to build upon the momentum of the pair’s recent public reconciliation, which included a notable appearance by Tomlinson at Malik’s Los Angeles show in January 2025. This had been their first public reunion since the funeral of their former bandmate, Liam Payne, in late 2024.

In the wake of the news, both artists continue to focus on their respective solo careers. Zayn Malik released his fifth studio album, Konnakol, on April 16, with an extensive world tour scheduled to begin in Manchester on May 12. Meanwhile, Louis Tomlinson has been promoting his third solo album, How Did I Get Here?, which was released earlier this year. In recent interviews, Tomlinson has spoken candidly about his personal growth and the newfound confidence he has channeled into his latest musical output.

"It’s Always Sunny" Episodes Featuring Blackface Removed From Netflix

Episodes of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" have been removed from Netflix, at least two of which feature the characters doing blackface.

Netflix has removed some episodes of the outrageous sitcom, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia on the basis that they feature multiple characters doing blackface. Fans started to take notice earlier this week that the ninth episode of the sixth season titled "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth" was no longer available for streaming on Netflix. In the episode, main characters Mac and Dee both wear blackface. However, some fans pointed out that it was strange how Netflix opted to take down this episode, but not the season nine episode, "The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6," that also features characters doing blackface.

"Surely Lethal Weapon 6 is actually worse than the first one?" one user asked, before explaining why he feels that taking these episodes off the streaming platform was contradictory to the nature of the show. "Thing is though, It’s Always Sunny is not racist. The characters are," he explained. "The entire joke of the show is that these are horrible, terrible people who suffer for their sins. When Mac and Dee do blackface, it’s not glorified at all. It’s heavily shunned by every other character."

Other echoed these sentiments about the show's intentions. "Netflix just pulled an episode of its always sunny in Philadelphia because Mac uses blackface in it," one user noted. "The problem is that the show is satire and is trying to show how ignorant the characters are for their actions. It's self-aware that the characters are terrible people."

"Netflix have deleted two episodes of its always sunny in philadelphia that include blackface. People don’t do their f*cking research," another user said. "The joke is that the characters in the show are such sh*tty people they are oblivious to their own racism. The racist characters ARE the joke."

According to Metro News, another user claimed that Netflix has now removed four episodes of It's Always Sunny in total from its catalogue.

Netflix Adds New Genre: Black Lives Matter


Netflix adds Black Lives Matter to its list of genres.

Netflix has added Black Lives Matter to its collection of 24 genres. The change occurred after last Saturday when the iconic film The Help became the most streamed title on Netflix.

The BLM category is providing easier access to “powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience.”

“When we say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ we also mean ‘Black storytelling matters,'” said Netflix on Twitter. “With an understanding that our commitment to true, systemic change will take time – we’re starting by highlighting powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience. When you log onto Netflix today, you will see a carefully curated list of titles that only begin to tell the complex and layered stories about racial injustice and Blackness in America.”

Unlike the other genres on the service which are organized alphabetically, Black Lives Matter appears first on the genre list. The BLM category includes Malcolm X by Spike Lee, the series Dear White People, Ava DuVernay’s documentary on racial inequality 13th, When They See Us, Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight, and Michelle Obama’s documentary Becoming. The Help, which has received criticism for its “white savior narrative” is not featured in the BLM category.

It is unconfirmed as to whether the Black Lives Matter category will remain as its own genre or eventually become a subcategory under the larger Black Stories genre.

Dave Chappelle Cracks Joke About Azealia Banks While Insulting Candace Owens In "8:46"

Dave Chappelle didn't hold back in his Netflix special "8:46," and he even had a laugh about Azealia Banks while trashing Candace Owens.

He may be a comedian, but Dave Chappelle is also respected as a commentator on the culture. For decades, Chappelle has used his talents, and his platform, in an effort to shed light on issues plaguing politics, entertainment, and social justice issues. In a surprise move, in the wee hours of Friday (June 12) morning, Chappelle's 27-minute special 8:46with Netflix was shared. The special was reportedly filmed on June 6 in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Chappelle spent much of his childhood. 

In true Dave Chappelle fashion, he didn't hold back as he addressed the recent slayings of black people. During the special Chappelle called out controversial Black conservative Candace Owens, insulting her...uh, nether regions... in the process. “I seen Candace Owens try to convince white America, ‘Don’t worry about it. He’s a criminal anyway,'" Chappelle recalled of Owens making a 15-minute video of how George Floyd shouldn't be respected because of his criminal past. 'I don’t give a f*ck what this n*gga did. I don’t care what this n*gga did. I don’t care if he personally kicked Candace Owens in her stanky p*ssy. I don’t know if it stanks, but I imagine it does. If I ever find out, I’ll let you know for sure. I’ll tell like Azealia Banks. I’ll tell.”

The joke is a reference to Azealia Banks's recent confession that she had an affair with Dave Chappelle. "I have actually f*cked a lot of f*cking very powerful f*cking men," Banks said. "I should ruin your f*cking marriage, I should tell the world we f*cked. What the f*ck I'm keeping secrets from y'all n*ggas for? Nah, Dave Chappelle can fc*k me again. That was some good black d*ck." 

Chappelle laughed at his own joke but didn't confirm whether or not Azealia Banks was telling the truth. Did you check out 8:46 yet? If so, what did you think about the Netflix special?

Candace Owens & Don Lemon Respond To Dave Chappelle’s Digs At Them In New Special

Candace Owens and Don Lemon both appeared to be fairly unbothered by Dave Chappelle calling them out in his new Netflix comedy special, "8:46."

Candace Owens and Don Lemon have both addressed what Dave Chappelle had to say about them in his new Netflix comedy special, "8:46," about George Floyd's murder and the subsequent protests, and neither of them are too upset about his comments. In his new special, which premiered at midnight on Friday (June 12th), the comedian discusses the police killing of George Floyd and everything that came after, all the while putting a few public figures on blast for how they've handled the situation. One of the targets of Dave's ire was right-wing pundit, Candace Owens, who sparked outrage recently after making disrespectful comments about George Floyd.

"Candace Owens, that rotten b*tch, she’s the worst. I can’t think of a worse way to make money. She’s the most articulate idiot I’ve ever seen in my f*cking life," Dave said, among other critiques he made about her. Candace heard that Dave had brought her up in his special, and insisted on Twitter that she wasn't offended at all.

"To every Democrat tweeting me the clip of #DaveChappelle insulting me: I’m not a leftist. I have a sense of humor & I think comedians SHOULD make fun of people," Candace tweeted. "Dave Chappelle is one of the greatest comedians of all time and I made it into one of his specials. That’s POWER!"

"We’ve arrived too suddenly into a culture where people can’t laugh at themselves, or want to restrain comedians," she continued. "I will never be a part of that culture. Dave Chappelle—you are legend and I’d love to meet you and challenge you to say any of that to my face! All love!"

Dave also went after Don Lemon in his special for publicly naming celebrities who had yet to speak out on George Floyd's death at the time. "Do you want to see a celebrity right now?” Dave asked, in response to Don's plea. “Does it matter about celebrity? No, this is the streets talking for themselves, they don’t need me right now…Why would anyone care what their favourite comedian thinks after they saw a police officer kneel on a man’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds?” Don responded to Dave's comments on-air, indicating that, "I actually agree with Dave Chappelle."

"I agree that I think the establishment has been a bit behind—and I consider myself part of the establishment because I am over 40 years old," Don said. "They think that part of the world that we created and what we did, maybe we didn't move fast enough and we weren't strong enough and so they are out there fighting...I think they're not only speaking to the white people in this country, but also to all of us in the establishment. I think it's a moment we should all be using our platform to do whatever we can."

Elsewhere in his Netflix special, Dave took aim at Fox News host Laura Ingraham for her hypocrisy in supporting Drew Brees speaking out on politics but telling LeBron James to "shut up and dribble" back in 2018.

Dave Chappelle Goes After Candace Owens, Don Lemon, & More In George Floyd Special


Dave Chappelle called out a number of public figures in his new Netflix stand up special, in which he discusses the recent police killing of George Floyd.

Dave Chappelle returned to the stand-up stage in a new surprise Netflix special about the recent police killing of George Floyd, subsequent protests against police brutality and systemic racism, and everything in between. The special aired without promo in the early hours of the morning on Friday (June 12th), and sees the comedian laying into the media for how they’ve handled the murder of George Floyd and begging America to get on board with these protests.

Dave begins the special by describing why this police killing of a Black American in particular was the last straw. “When I watched that tape I understood this man knew he was going to die,” he said, noting that it took him a week to finally be able to watch the horrific footage. “People watched it, people filmed it and for some reason that I still don’t understand, all these f*cking police had their hands in their pockets. Who are you talking to? What are you signifying? That you can kneel on a man’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds and feel like you wouldn’t get the wrath of God? That is what is happening right now. It’s not for a single cop, it’s for all of it, f*cking all of it. I don’t mean to get heavy but we gotta say something.”

He goes on to ridicule CNN’s Don Lemon for famously calling out certain rich and powerful celebrities who hadn’t spoken out on this issue at the time. “[Lemon] says, ‘Where are all these celebrities? Why are you not talking?’ This n***a said, ‘Everybody.’ I was screaming at the TV, ‘I dare you to say me, n***a, I dare you!’ Has anyone ever listened to me doing comedy? Have I not ever said anything about these things before? So now all of a sudden this n***a expects me to step in front of the streets and talk over the work these people are doing as a celebrity.”

“Answer me: Do you want to see a celebrity right now?” he continued. “Do we give a f*ck what Ja Rule thinks? Does it matter about celebrity? No, this is the streets talking for themselves, they don’t need me right now. I kept my mouth shut. And I’ll still keep my mouth shut. But don’t think my silence is complicit…Why would anyone care what their favourite comedian thinks after they saw a police officer kneel on a man’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds?”

Dave also ripped into the right-wing media by calling Fox News’ Laura Ingraham “a regular-ass white b*tch with a platform” and “a c*nt” for insisting Drew Brees has a right to his opinion about politics while telling LeBron James to “shut up and dribble” in 2018 for his activism. Next, Dave targeted Trump-supporting “free thinker” Candace Owens for her insensitive and disrespectful comments about George Floyd.

“I’ve seen Candace Owens try to convince white America, ‘Don’t worry about it. He’s a criminal anyway,’” Dave says. “I don’t give a f*ck what this n***a did. I don’t care what this n***a did. Candace Owens, that rotten b*tch, she’s the worst. I can’t think of a worse way to make money. She’s the most articulate idiot I’ve ever seen in my f*cking life.” He goes on to drag her for suggesting that Black America had “chosen” Floyd to be their hero despite his past.

“‘Why does the black community make him a hero? Why did you choose him as a hero?’ We didn’t choose him; you did,” he tells Candace. “They killed him and that wasn’t right, so he’s the guy. We’re not desperate for heroes in the black community. Anyone who survives this nightmare is my god damn hero.” Watch the full special, titled “8:46,” below:

Michael Jordan’s "Flu Game" Pizza Delivery Guy Speaks Out


The guy who delivered the pizza to Michael Jordan ahead of the “flu game” refutes food poisoning claims made in “The Last Dance.”

ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary on Michael Jordan came out just in time for the coronavirus pandemic. Needless to say,  it’s been a source of entertainment and distraction in the midst of the pandemic. Jordan gave the world an inside look into his life like never before, addressing a few of the myths surrounding his name.

The legendary flu game where Jordan put up 38 points after falling sick in Utah was debunked. Jordan, as well as others close to him, suggested he got food poisoning from bad pizza. Even his trainer Tim Grover said he had a bad feeling about it but the guy who made and delivered the pizza has stepped forth to address some of these claims.

Craig Fite, the man who claimed to have delivered the pizza, joined 1280 The Zone’s The Big Show On Monday, revealed that he was just hired to the pizza place and was apparently the only Bulls fan in the workplace or at least the only person willing to put down money on the Bulls. Fite said he delivered a large, thin-crust, extra pepperoni pizza by himself along with the driver — refuting claims that there were five people that delivered the pizza to Jordan.

“We go over and I knock on the door, and then this great guy who’s been saying all this crap lately — I’m sure that he’s a good guy,” Fite said, seemingly in reference to Tim Grover .“But anyway, he answers the door, barely opens up the door, and I said ‘hey,’ identified the company I was with, here’s the pizza delivery.’”

From there, Fite said that he asked if he could say hi to Mike quickly. “Mike’s in the room, sitting at the chair, he’s playing cards or whatever, and raises his hand, he said, ‘Thanks, man!'” Fire recounted. He quickly added that no one else got sick from anything prepared from his store that day.

Peep the clip below.

Watch Spike Lee’s Action-Packed "Da 5 Bloods" Trailer


Netflix Releases the trailer for Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.”

Netflix has debuted the trailer for the new film Da 5 Bloods. The movie follows four veterans, Clark Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Delroy Lindo, joined by his son, Jonathan Majors. They return to Vietnam in search of the remains of their squad leader (Chadwick Boseman) and in pursuit of buried treasure.

Directed by Spike Lee, the action-packed movie trailer shows scenes of the four veterans dancing while “Apocalypse Now” plays in the background, as well as flashbacks as young soldiers in a battle scene. Vintage footage flashes between what appears to be the Vietnam War, U.S. protests, and Nixon’s resignation speech, concluding with a fist raised to the sky.

The soldiers are encouraged by Boseman’s character to bury a trunk of gold bars and return to claim the treasure later.

“We’ve been dying for this country from the very get,” says Boseman’s character. “We give this gold to our people.”

Lee produced the film with Lloyd Levin, Beatriz Levin and Jon Kilik as well as executive producers Jonathan Filley, Barry Levine and Mike Bundlie. He also co-wrote the film with Danny Bilson, Paul DeMeo and Kevin Willmott.

Da 5 Bloods cast includes Mélanie Thierry, Paul Walter Hauser, Jasper Pääkkönen, Johnny Trí Nguyễn, Van Veronica Ngo and Jean Reno and is set to premiere on Netflix June 12.

Check out the new trailer below.

Snowpiercer is based on Jacques Lob and Jean Marc Rochette’s graphic novels. The post-apocalyptic show produced by Joon-Ho, director of Parasite is about passengers on a perpetually moving train, the only living survivors seven years after the world freezes over and becomes uninhabitable to humans. “First, the weather changed. In the final days of the freeze, the rich retreated to an ark. This is Snowpiercer. This is how we survive. There are those who have, and those who suffer,” says main character Andre Layton in the series’ trailer.

The show follows the passengers and their struggle with class-divide as the wealthy live comfortably while the poor suffer: “The Earth’s remaining inhabitants are confined to [the] single train as revolution brews among the class-divided cars.”

In the current climate, viewers want exciting content now more than ever. Brett Weitz, general manager of TNT as well as TBS and truTV says, “We are moving up ‘Snowpiercer’s’ premiere so that fans can enjoy this futuristic series even earlier.”
