Mahershala Ali in talks for starring role in ‘True Detective’

Oscar-winning “Moonlight” actor Mahershala Ali is in negotiations to star in a potential third season of HBO’s praised drama series “True Detective.” We hear talks are at a very early stage and no deal is in place. A third season has not yet received a formal green light, but it has been in the works for a while, and Ali’s casting likely would make that a lock. In January, HBO President of Programming Casey Bloys indicated that he was “hopeful” about a third installment because creator Nic Pizzolatto was “closing in on an idea that he was excited about.” In addition, veteran David Milch came on board earlier this year to work with Pizzolatto on Season 3. The first season of “True Detective” was very well received and became a cult phenomenon, landing a slew of awards and nominations and triggering a swift renewal. The drama also earned a quick-turnaround second installment, which drew mixed reaction from critics and fans. Ali won a supporting actor Oscar for his role in Best Picture winner “Moonlight.” His TV work includes a praised role as Remy Danton in Netflix’s “House of Cards” and a recent recurring gig on “Luke Cage.” Next up on the film side is a starring role in JC Chandor’s upcoming thriller “Triple Frontier.” He’s repped by WME.

Steph Curry Lists Northern Cali Mansion

While Steph Curry’s intent to stay with the Warriors is pretty clear to fans and sports spectators, his real estate ventures are less clear. All we know for certain is that he’s trying to walk away from the Walnut Creek estate that he picked up for an even $3.2 million in 2015. All five of the bedrooms in the main house provide access to the wraparound terraces, where views of Mt. Diablo can be found. And while you’re entertaining on the terrace, a Control4 smart system allows you to adjust music, monitor the alarm system, view the security cameras and turn lights on and off. In addition to the 5-bed, 6-bath, 7,520-square-foot main house, the estate includes a guesthouse, a double deep 3-car garage, and a nearly 1-acre lot.

Big Backlash Over Kendall and Kylie’s “Disrespectful” Rap Tees

Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s new vintage T-shirts have not been well-received. The sisters introduced a line of “Rap vs. Rock” tees as part of their latest Kendall + Kylie collection drop, which have been called out by many on Twitter as insensitive. The “rap” shirts feature photos of the late Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac with “K.K.” initials printed over top. One even features Kendall’s face screen printed over a photo of Biggie. And his mom, Voletta Wallace, is not happy. Wallace took to Instagram to share her disappointment in the tops, specifically that the sisters used her son’s likeness without permission form his estate. “I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this,” she captioned a photo on Instagram, adding, “The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me.  I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt.  This is disrespectful , disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!” I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this.  The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me.  I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt.  This is disrespectful , disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!

Prince Harry opens up about depression, Megan and tons more

Britain’s Prince Harry got so sick of the royal treatment during his 20s that he considered living as a commoner — but stayed on for the Queen, he says in a new interview. “I spent many years kicking [up] my heels and I didn’t want to grow up,” he tells Newsweek’s Angela Levin. Harry, now 32, led a hard-partying life and told Levin he came “very close to a breakdown” several times and, on his brother’s advice, sought counseling when he was 28.  He felt most at home in the Army, but when his assignment in Afghanistan was leaked by a magazine, he had to be withdrawn for security reasons. “I felt very resentful,” he said. “Being in the Army was the best escape I’ve ever had.”  While in the Army, he said, “I wasn’t a prince. I was just Harry.” He also said he doesn’t think anyone in the royal family wants to be king or queen, but instead does so out of duty. Which… I feel like his dad really wants to be Kind, but whatevs. On Megan Markle, the Prince is still protective, but a person close to the prince says Harry is not rushing to “get things done”—royal-speak for proposing.

Sheryl Crow Sells Artsy Pied-à-Terre

Sheryl Crow’s NoHo NY apartment is more like a small gallery, with is exposed walls just dripping with unique art and quirky detailing.  And it’s just been sold for $2.27 mill.

The 2,000-square-foot two-bedroom apartment Crow sold features 13-foot ceilings, lots of light and open spaces, including a dining room and a chef’s kitchen.

Sweden’s Museum of Failure adds Trump!

Samuel West’s “Museum of Failure” is an act of celebration. On June 7, West, a collector and self-described innovation researcher, debuted 51 failed products in a museum exhibition in the Swedish city of Helsingborg, all in the name of honoring the creative process. Visitors will get reacquainted with familiar names like Betamax and Blockbuster, and perhaps meet lesser-known flops — Twitter Peek, anyone? — all of which West has been collecting for the past year.   Including what looks like Trump’s Apprentice the home game. “You’re Fired, Mommy!” “Even the biggest baddest most competent companies fail,” West tells Business Insider. “The trick is to create an organizational culture that accepts failure so that you can fail small … rather than failing big.” Here’s a taste of the products that are getting a second life on display. Seriously, I love it.  Although I call BS on the Palm Pilot. That thing brought me a solid year of good times and you can’t ask much more of modern tech.

Johnny Depp refused to sell private jet to fix financial ruins

Call him Johnny DEBT from now on. Sorry. had to.  But it’s wildly amusing to read how crazy out of control Depp’s spending got and his equating paying his debts to selling his soul. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s desperate bid to climb out of debt was revealed as part of his ongoing $25 million lawsuit against his former business managers The Management Group and its principal Joel Mandel. Depp has accused them of mismanaging his money — but Mandel and TMG have countersued, saying the actor was aware of his dire situation the entire time. In an email exchange from December 2009 that was just made public, Mandel warned the cash-strapped “Edward Scissorhands” actor to “take it easy on holiday spending” and told him they need to meet to “look realistically at income and expenses and work together on how to make sure that these are back in balance,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The famous dad of two, 54, wrote back a day later, saying he was “doing my very best on holiday spending but there is only so much i can do, as i need to give my kiddies and famille [sic] as good a Christmas as possible, obviously within reason.” “What else can i do??? you want me to sell some art??? i will. you want me to sell something else??? sure… what???” Depp wrote. “i got bikes, cars, property, books, paintings and some semblance of a soul left. where would you like me to start???” But he was firm about not getting rid of his plane. “A commercial flight with paparazzis in tow would be a f—ing nightmare of monumental proportions,” he wrote. “I don’t like being in this situation, but there wasn’t a whole lot of choice, as THE RUM DIARY was a sacrifice we knew would be happening and the last proper paycheck was PUBLIC ENEMIES. i will do my best, joel,” Depp added. Depp made a combined $75 million from “The Tourist” in 2010, the fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film and “Dark Shadows,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The award-winning actor has claimed his business managers squandered his Hollywood earnings by loaning out millions without his permission, failing to pay off other loans and incurring $8 million in unnecessary tax penalties.
