Sixers big man Joel Embiid dropped 26 points on the Celtics last night in road victory — and then proceeded to dunk on Rihanna. In a post-game interview with TNT, Embiid was asked if he wanted to say anything to the young woman “who told you to come back when you’re an all-star.” After making the all-star team earlier on Thursday, Embiid didn’t feel like giving his celeb temptress — long speculated to be Rihanna — a second chance. “She denied me back then, so why go with her again?” said an amused Embiid.

The popular County Megaticket, which includes access to five country concerts over five months, is returning to the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View beginning June 2018.

Backlash from a certain segment of the Internet to blockbuster movies that cast women (as well as people of color) has led to some pretty horrible things, like online harassment. It also leads to ridiculous, even hilariously stupid things, like someone editing “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” to remove all the women. That edit of “The Last Jedi,” which was made from a bootleg recording of the movie made by someone watching it in a theater, purports to be “basically The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and...

In our latest episode, we talk about the Spielberg-Pitt-Shue-Hanks-God project that wasn’t to be, and how... Читать дальше...
