90’s Footage of Vin Diesel Reppin “Street Sharks” Surfaces

Take a look at this pre-stardom jaw-someness! Four years before Vin Diesel scored his breakthrough role in Saving Private Ryan, he had to take a few odd jobs here and there to make money! In the footage below, Diesel had taken a job at a toy fair advertising toy shark action figures. But not just your everyday, run of the mill sharks, nooo! These were half human, half shark street fighting sharks that were so cool they were able to reel in their own TV show that ran from 1994-1997. The actor, known best for his lead roles in the Fast & Furious franchise, seems giddy with excitement as he runs through each character’s super powers & action features! Although most of the characters names changed later, Ripster, the ring leader, stayed the same. Let this footage be a reminder to us all that everyone has to start somewhere and always do what you do with pride! Besides, you know the kid in you wanted to grab some sharks and join in! See, there. He did his job. Hook. Line. Sinker. Enjoy! The post 90’s Footage of Vin Diesel Reppin “Street Sharks” Surfaces appeared first on Showbiz Spy.

AC/DC 2016 Concert Bootleggers Beware The Feds Will Be Watching You!

The kick ass rock band AC/DC is fed up with bootleggers and the theft/profit from their hard work and have asked the United States government to step in. Sources have confirmed that the band has pre-filed documents to stop the sale of non-authentic merchandise sold in and around the bands concerts and asked for US Marshals help in up holding the law. The concerts will have United States Marshals at the venues for both security and to help in the fight against counterfeit merchandise. Our Spy’s have also informed us that there will soon be Ebay stings on companies claiming merch to be authentic. An insider that is working with the band said: “It’s a widespread problem on a scale that you would not believe and we feel that this would be a good test to see how much of an impact our agents can have.” The band that made the second most money for a tour last year just behind Taylor Swift at just over $180M is not being “greedy” according to lead guitarist Angus Young: “We are not trying to be ass holes or greedy, we are just tired of seeing these guys at our concerts profiting off of our hard work selling counterfeit crap merch to our fans.” The band is set to start the 2016 tour in Tacoma and end in NY: 2/02 > Tacoma, Wash. — Tacoma Dome 2/05 > Las Vegas, Nev. — MGM Grand Arena 2/08 > Denver, Colo. — Pepsi Center 2/11 > Fargo, N.D. — Fargo Dome 2/14 > St. Paul, Minn. — Xcel Energy Center 2/17 > Chicago, Ill. — United Center 2/20 > St. Louis, Mo. — Scottrade Center 2/23 > Dallas, Texas — American Airlines Center 2/26 > Houston, Texas — Toyota Center 2/29 > Kansas City, Mo. — Sprint Center 3/08 > Atlanta, Ga. — Philips Arena 3/11 > Ft.

Ricky Martin Is Gay, But He’d Sleep With A Woman

In news you never knew you cared about and actually really don’t. Ricky Martin is known as being pretty gay and that’s all fine and well — good for him! There’s nothing wrong with that! But he also felt the need to give an interview recently in which he let the public know that while he’s totally gay, he’s not averse to the idea of having sex with women, and still does it for time to time, just for fun. From an interview with the Mexican magazine Fama!: “I’m gay. Men captivate me. But I like to enjoy sex in totally liberty, which is why I am open to having sex with a woman if I felt the desire to, although I would not consider starting a sentimental relationship with her. In that way I’m all about men.” He then went on to say that he didn’t believe in sexual labels and that “we are simply human beings with emotional and sexual needs.” I mean, cool, I guess? I don’t really understand why he feels the need to announce this or why he thinks anyone needs to know, but I guess if it makes him feel better, then good for him. Then again, it all feels kinda… unnecessary. You don’t need to explain your gayness, or quantify it, or make it seems like you’re gay, but not SO gay, etc. I’m not really feeling it. Then again, I’m not really feeling Ricky Martin, either, so whatever. The post Ricky Martin Is Gay, But He’d Sleep With A Woman appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.

Louis Tomlinson Welcomes Son, Forks Over $3 Million In Child Support

Back in July, One Direction member Louis Tomlinson revealed that he knocked up some girl he’d been casually banging in LA named Briana Jungwirth. Their baby has finally been born, and Louis is now the proud father of a little boy! Take a second to say “AWWW!” and then get ready for this: Louis and Briana aren’t a couple, but that’s OK, because that baby will certainly be taken care of. Child support has just been agreed upon, and the amount of money coming out of Louis’ pocket isn’t a small amount. According to The Sun, Louis will be paying close to £10,000 (that’s over $14,000) a month in child support to Briana. Because, you know, it definitely takes $14k a month to raise a child. But that’s not all! He’s also paying for a four-bedroom house that’s nearly $6k a month to rent in Calabasas, California. Yippee! I'm pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday :) ? He is healthy and pretty amazing :) I'm very happy!! — Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) January 23, 2016 To be honest, it’s good to see that he’s taking responsibility for his, well, lack of responsibility by actually paying out. I think it’s pretty ridiculous that someone would need $14k a month IN ADDITION TO HOUSING to raise a baby, but then again, he’s filthy rich and can affford it, but that’s besides the point. So I guess a Congrats/I’m sorry is in order here? And yay, babies? The post Louis Tomlinson Welcomes Son, Forks Over $3 Million In Child Support appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.

Charlie Hunnam cast as a Mexican-American cartel leader in ‘American Drug Lord’

Just my opinion: Charlie Hunnam fans have a reason to be worried about his post-Sons of Anarchy career. Hunnam’s career jumpoff was supposed to be Crimson Peak and Fifty Shades of Grey. But Crimson Peak sort of bombed and he dropped out of FSOG after a lot of breast-beating and dramatics. Then his next big career move was supposed to be King Arthur, and it was supposed to be Hunnam’s big summer offering this year… only the release date got pushed back from July 2016 to February 2017, which is not good. So what is Charlie’s next big career move? Playing a Mexican-American cartel drug-lord. Seriously. Before everyone completely loses it, Charlie has been cast as Edgar Valdez in what is a true story in the film American Drug Lord. Valdez was an American citizen, a high school football star in Texas, and he became the only American citizen to “rise to the level of cartel leader in Mexico.” Valdez was also light-skinned and blue-eyed, apparently, and he had the football and cartel-nickname of La Barbie. While Hunnam might “look the part,” this is still an example of Hollywood whitewashing. Even when Hollywood decides to make a movie about a Hispanic figure, they cast someone white (and English). Even when the casting could go any way – as in, they could have cast a Latino actor or a mixed-race actor – producers always go for the default white actor. As Vanity Fair points out, the industry press is already calling out this casting choice as whitewashing. I think the announcement came at a bad time too, when we’re in the middle of a discussion about representation and diversity and #OscarsSoWhite. This also comes on the heels of some particularly egregious whitewashing examples in film, whether it’s Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily in Pan, or Emma Stone playing an Asian-American woman in Aloha or everyone in Ridley Scott’s Exodus. Ugh. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.

Kristen Stewart: Conversations about gender pay disparity are ‘boring’

Embed from Getty Images While I am legitimately disappointed that so many non-white artists were snubbed with #OscarSoWhite, I’m also a little bit disappointed that Kristen Stewart was snubbed too. Kristen walked away from this year’s awards season with some surprise critics’ awards for her work in Clouds of Sils Maria, and there were some hopes that she would make a late surge and end up with an Oscar nomination. Alas, it was not to be. But a lot of people like the current version of K-Stew. She’s less lip-bitey and she’s leaning in to her indie roots. Kristen is currently at Sundance to promote the drama Certain Women, and she chatted with E! News about what’s next for her career: Whether she’s offered roles in franchises all the time: “They’re not too common. Trust me, I would love to find a big doozy of a movie that’s interesting and worthwhile.” Would she play a superhero? “Maybe. Go print that—I can’t wait to play a superhero.” She really wants to direct: “Hopefully as soon as humanly possible. I really want to. I have to find the right thing. I started working when I was nine. I love this industry. I love what movies can do so I’ll find my story.” She’s been to Sundance many times & she loves indie films: “I’m not totally biased. I really like making the small ones and I like making the big ones. It’s just when you get the right people together who really care about something, who are not solely interested in getting just love and attention and money and stuff and it’s really for the love of the meditation on a subject and getting into something and baring your soul, [Sundance] is the perfect place to do it.” [From E! News] Since I was snowed in for the better part of three days (damn you, snowpocalypse!), I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron like three times on one of the premium cable channels. I was struck again by Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlett Witch role, which, to Olsen’s credit, she played well, the perfect mix of camp and legit drama. I wonder if that’s the kind of thing Kristen wishes she was up for – a supporting part in a Marvel movie, something like that. Or does she wish she could be Wonder Woman, steering her own franchise? I think it’s interesting that Kristen has been saying variations of “I’d love to do another big movie/franchise again” for the past year too – I mean, I know she’s not broke so it’s not like she needs the money. I think she’s just spent some time reevaluating what Twilight gave her, and she’d like another crack at a franchise, this time as an adult. Oh, and I saw this too late – Kristen spoke to Variety and she was asked about gender pay disparity. You can watch the video here, which I would recommend. She seems to acknowledge her privilege at the beginning, but she also basically tells women in the industry to suck it up. At one point, she says: “Instead of sitting around and complaining about that, do something. Go write something, go do something. And that’s easy to say. Like, f–k, it’s hard to get movies made. It’s a huge luxury. Who gets to just make movies? But that subject is just so prevalently everywhere right now, and it’s boring.” Oh, the discussion about inequality is boring, K-Stew? Just wait until she tackles #OscarsSoWhite. Embed from Getty Images Embed from Getty Images Photos courtesy of Getty, Fame/Flynet.

Amal Clooney’s red-suited press conference style: vampy or fine?

As we discussed yesterday, Amal Clooney was part of the legal team that got the former president of the Maldives out of jail. Amal wore a nonsensical coat – with lobster, hand and cat buttons/brooches – when she and the team went to 10 Downing Street over the weekend. Then on Monday, Amal and the team held a press conference at Amal’s law firm in London. For the press conference, Amal wore this red suit. And people are still talking about it. No one has the ID on this suit, which makes me wonder if this is something older that she’s had in her closet for years. I still think the suit is pretty good, minus the velvet trimming, which just makes it seem more like a Christmas-only suit rather than something appropriate for business meetings. I saw some criticism of the color, like Amal wanted to ensure that she stood out, that she was the diva dressed in blood red. I don’t know… I think red is her color and I think it’s fine for women to wear red to meetings, conferences, etc. Is it such a tragedy to stand out? That being said, I do think Amal’s styling was too “vampy” for the occasion. She paired her red suit with big curls, epic Salvatore Ferragamo stilettos, a Dolce & Gabbana tote and an inky black manicure. The whole look ended up being very… attention-grabbing. Oh, and she’s still wearing her giant engagement ring. And she’s still touching her hair a lot. Embed from Getty Images Embed from Getty Images Photos courtesy of Getty, Fame/Flynet and WENN.
