While many are donating to bail funds across the nation to help protestors who've been arrested while fighting for justice, others are taking the time to list off all these celebrities who donated just to call them out for supposedly doing something wrong. Fox News' Tucker Carlson hopped on the airwaves with this sort of compiled list of celebrities in an attempt to seemingly "out" them for helping "rioters and looters."
After naming off companies that have donated to Black Lives Matter, he indicates that “it isn’t just major corporations that are fuelling all of this—celebrities are too, by paying to get violent rioters out of jail.” He then begins naming some of the famous folks who have given money to help bail out protesters, convincing himself that this is a bad thing.
Kehlani appears on the screen fairly early on, which the singer herself managed to capture and post on Instagram. “Finna sign this n send it to my granny,” she wrote. “#F*ckFoxNews.”
While Kehlani was proud of her inclusion in this list, Lil Nas had a bit of a different reaction, mostly because Tucker insinuated that he specifically had “helped incite” riots.
"This man just lied and told millions of people on national television that i was inciting riots," Lil Nas tweeted. "You can’t make this up." Seth Rogen was also among the celebrities that Tucker thought he was shaming for donating to a worthy cause, but the comedian's reacted similarly to Kehlani. "I think when white supremacists are bothered by your actions, that’s probably a good thing," Seth wrote in the replies of a tweet that had shared the clip and said, "Tucker Carlson thinks he’s outing celebrities."
Another comedian, Patton Oswalt, who donated to bail funds also addressed this "exposé," tweeting, "I regret to inform all my followers that your grandparents are no longer fans of my comedy. Sorry to ruin your Thanksgiving."
Anyway, if you'd like to donate to bail funds by state, you can go to to the National Bail Fund Network here, or if you'd like to split a donation to bail funds across the country, visit ActBlue Charities here.
Seth Rogen Tells "All Lives Matter" Supporters In His Comments To "F*ck Off"
Seth Rogen replied to as many people commenting "All Lives Matter" on his post as possible, telling them to "f*ck off" and stop supporting him.
Seth Rogen made great use of his reply button on Instagram earlier this week, when he told all the commenters writing "All Lives Matter" in response to his "Black Lives Matter" post to "f*ck off" and stop watching his movies. As many celebrities come forward to offer their support for the Black Lives Matter movement amid the protests against George's Floyd murder and police brutality, some have been receiving backlash from their followers who are not on board. On Monday (June 1st), Seth Rogen shared a Black Lives Matter logo on Instagram, writing in the caption, "If this is a remotely controversial statement to you, feel free to unfollow me."
His comments were quickly flooded with folks announcing that they had, in fact, unfollowed him, with some attempting to "correct" him by declaring that "All Lives Matter." Seth took notice of all these ignorant comments, and proceeded to reply to them one by one with some hilarious profanities.

"All lives matter. Because all life is precious. No life is more important than another," one person wrote, to which Seth replied, "shut the f*ck up." Another wrote, "All Lives, nice racist division post tho. Fucking mental," which got a reply from Seth telling them, "f*ck you leave." When one commenter wrote, "All lives matter we all bleed red!!!!!" Seth proceeded to mock their own words by saying, "f*ck off. Facts!!!!!"
He even ordered a few of these insufferable commenters not to support his film career anymore. In response to one user's comment, “People making this only about blacks. When [it’s] about all races of color. Why do all these brutality videos only show the end? They don’t show wtf these people where doing to get in trouble in the first place," he wrote, "F*ck off. You don’t deserve my movies anymore. Stop watching my sh*t.”
Seth has also been vocal about the protests on Twitter. On Sunday (May 31st), he tweeted, "Always be more critical of the people upholding the racist system than the ones who are fighting against it."
Seth Rogen Has Been Quarantining With An "Ungodly" Weed Stash
During the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, Seth Rogen abides by the Nate Dogg school of thought, which is to say, smoking weed every day.
Anybody familiar with the legendary Seth Rogen, widely considered a Canadian National treasure at this point, knows that the man consumes weed like the rest of us consume water. It’s easy to assume he’s high twenty-four hours of the day, especially given that the world has been on a self-imposed lockdown for the past month or so — a month that happens to include thirty-days of four-twenty, at that. As Rogen explained during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s “Live From His House” segment, the isolation period actually hasn’t been quite so bad…for obvious reasons.

“We are not all in this together, because this has not been that bad for me,” Rogen explained, donning an Alanis Morissette sweater for the occasion. “I’ll be totally honest. This has been fine. I am built for this. I’ve kinda been self-isolating since 2009.” When Kimmel inquires as to how he’s been passing the time, Rogen reveals that he’s been smoking “a truly ungodly amount of weed. More than normal. Thank God it’s been declared an essential service. For me it’s essential. I don’t think I’ve ever willed a law into existence more than that one.”
“The fact I have no kids is making this a truly not that bad experience,” he admits, uttering his iconic laugh. “I will be lying alone on my death bed after not having talked to anybody for fifteen years, and I’ll be like ‘it was worth it for that coronavirus shit.’ Me and my wife had a lovely time.” Rogen also confirms that his parents have been safe in Canada, which he describes as a “slightly better functioning country at the moment.” “That’s their slogan, actually,” quips Kimmel.

Seth Rogen Producing Movie About Society-Destroying Meme
It’s all fun and games until the memes turn on you.
What if a viral meme had the ability to bring the world as we know it to an end? Never thought about it? Well, Seth Rogen has, or at least he did when he was presented with the concept from James Tynion IV’s Boom! comic, Memetic, that tackles that very concern. Seth’s production company, Point Grey Productions, is adapting Memetic into a feature film of the same name, and co-writer of the upcoming Batman film, Mattson Tomlin, will pen the script. Lionsgate is in final talks to pick up the horror-thriller, which explores the detrimental effects of a viral meme called the Good Time Sloth. The meme turns viewers into “screamers” and sends them into a violent, murderous rage, which eventually causes the downfall of society. The story then follows Aaron, a colourblind man who happens to be immune to the meme, tries to find his boyfriend in the film’s post-apocalyptic world as a result of the killer meme.

This is the second comic adaptation for which Tomlin and Point Grey have joined forces. The writer and production company are also collaborating on another film called Fear Agent based on a Rick Remender comic. The film was picked up by Amazon last week following a bidding war.
Seth Rogen Reveals He Helped Rewrite "Bad Boys II" To Add More Comedy
Seth Rogen's BEEN making us laugh.
A lot of people may argue that Bad Boys II is better than the first film in the franchise. One of the leading stars Will Smith recently detailed how director Michael Bay purposely wanted the first movie to be more serious and directed him to "just stand there and be hard" as opposed to making comedic faces to Martin Lawrence's character's reactions.

The second film has a lot more jokes and clever punchlines and a lot of people were today-years-old when they found out that the Superbad actor Seth Rogen had something to do with that. The revelation was made on Twitter when one user made it clear that he thinks the second movie is way better, prompting Seth to reply: "I helped rewrite bad boys 2."
He added in another tweet: "Judd was rewriting it and me and Evan were broke so he gave us a bit of money to help. I don’t remember much but we all definitely wrote the joke where they don’t know the words to the song, and where Martin shoots the machine gun in the car by accident. And probably many more..."
So there you have it, Seth contributed to your laughs in the second film. Only time will tell how funny the third film is.
