James Gunn is Back as Guardians of The Galaxy 3 Director

After firing James Gunn due to some tweets from the past, Disney gave him a second chance and brought him back to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

It was all started when the commentator Mike Cernovich exposed some tweets that James wrote about 10 years ago regarding pedophilia and rape. Not long after – Disney decided to fire Gunn.

Alan Horn, Walt Disney Studios chairman, said in a statement back then:

“The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him”

The future director of Guardians of The Galaxy 3 apologized publicly for the tweets, and it seems like the way of how he handled with this saga made Disney changing their minds.

The cast of the film, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana, among others supported James:

Chris Pratt poste on Instagram:

“Although I don’t support James Gunn’s inappropriate jokes from years ago, he is a good man.

I’d personally love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3. If you please, read the following statement- signed by our entire cast. “

But there’s an issue that’s not being talked about – Gunn signed with Warner Bros and DC to direct the sequel to Suicide Squad. And as all the fans knows, Marvel and DC usually don’t work together.

Gunn managed to complete the writing for the third film of the franchise before being fired by Disney, and Marvel confirmed they would be using.

Guardians of the Galaxy films made more than $1.6 billion at the box office worldwide, both of was directed by Gunn.

0

It seems like King James’ injury was a lot serious than we thought.
Not long after the Los Angeles Lakers were out of the playoff race, Dr. Karen Joubert, owner of Joubert Physical Therapy in Beverly Hills, shared a picture standing next to Lebron with an unexpected caption – Karen praised him for his willingness to return to action although he was suffering from pain.


“I want you all to know how bad his injury was and is, the pain he endured,” the doctor wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. “Along with his amazing trainer, Mike Mancias, he was on the court in 6 weeks, it should have been 6 months. Unselfishly, he endured pain, pain, pain. He did not want to let the Lakers down, the fans down. But I know what he went through! I learned about determination, the will to win, how to get the job done. He is a force to be reckoned with. @kingjames @mikemancias1.”

Lebron returned to action late in January and carried the Lakers to a win over in overtime on the Clippers. James said “I am at 80 (percent) right now… it will take him a little time to get back”.

The King is still one of the most dominants players in the NBA, averaging this season a whooping 27.4 points, 8.1 assists, and 8.5 rebounds.

Covered with a jacket says “Puppies And I’m Fine”, Paris Jackson got to her place in Los Angeles.

According to Paris’s close circle, Jackson’s crew taking care of her after getting out of the hospital.

Not long after the release of “Leaving Neverland”, rumors say she hospitalized Saturday after a failed attempted suicide.

Law enforcement sources claims that the police and the Emergency Medical Services got her place at about 7 am. According to different sources, it’s been reported that Jackson cut her wrists. Now she is stable.

As it’s seems, and according to various sources, Paris’s suicide attempt happened in response to the criticizes regarding her rested father, the king of pop, Michael Jackson. In HBO documentary MJ is pictured as an abusive towards children.

James Safechuck claimed he was only ten years-old the time he married Jackson (then 30) in a ceremony that was held in Michael’s bedroom and says he still has the jewelry to support this.

HBO’s documentary launched on March 3rd, although for many weeks some info about it was published to the public. Because of it, few stations made a decision to stop playing Michael’s music.

In New Zealand they made the exact same decision, all the stations which owned by MediaWorks & New Zealand Media Entertainment currently banned from playing songs from one of the most influential musicians in history.

Sadly, Michael Jackson’s daughter couldn’t figure it out since her dad passed away. She talked openly in the past about dealing with depression and even attempted a suicide 6 years ago.

Marta Kauffman, The Creator of Friends, Said Something We Were All Afraid Of

0

Marta just broke millions of hearts by saying there will never be a show reboot…

On an interview with the Rolling Stone magazine Kauffman said that a reunion episode won’t hold the hype of the show’s committed fans and might disappoint them.

When trying to explain her point of view she said: “One, the show is about a time in your life when your friends are your family. It’s not that time anymore. All we’d be doing is putting those six actors back together, but the heart of the show would be gone.”

She continued: “Two, I don’t know what good it does us. The show is going just fine, people love it. [A reunion] could only disappoint. ‘The One Where Everyone’s Disappointed’.”

4 years ago Netflix made a big move acquiring Friends, which was debut on 1994, in a massive deal – 118 million dollars!

Marta shared her experience with the show airing in Netflix – her daughter’s friends asked if she is familiar with ‘that new show’ that lately launched on Netflix.

It’s not only Marta who doesn’t like the idea of a reunion – Matt LeBlanc (better known as Joey Tribbiani) also said it will never happen.

Matt LeBlanc said with Brisbane’s 97.3FM Bianca, Terry & Bob: “I understand that people really want to see that reunion. But that show was about a finite period in these six characters’ lives, between 20 and 30.” He continued: “I think everyone’s imagination of what they (the characters) are doing is better.”

Moreover, The 50-years-old actor hinted that there is more than one member of the original cast would be unwilling to be in a reunion. “It’s not any one person,” he claimed. “I think it’s better to just leave it. I think it’s something that doesn’t come along very often. That was a really special thing, and the stars aligned right for that.”

David Schwimmer, known as Ross Geller, said 8 years ago: “I really like how the show ended. I really love how it ended. I think it was kind of a perfect ending, and I can’t see any good reason to revisit it.”

According to the report, Smith was replaced due to scheduling issues although it seems he has no films that being filmed at the same time as Suicide Squad.

After Airing HBO’s Documentary, Radio Stations All Over the Globe Stopped Playing Michael Jackson’s Songs

People all over the world have been puzzled by HBO documentary – “Leaving Neverland” – that shows MJ as an abusive man, mostly for children.

This documentary launched on March 3rd, although for many weeks some info about it was published to the public.

Because of it, few stations made a decision to stop playing Michael’s music.

3 stations in Canada have decided to take out songs such as ‘Beat It’, ‘Wanna Be Starting Something’, ‘Thriller’ and ‘Billie Jean’ from their collections.

Cogeco spokeswoman Christine Dicaire claimed that this act was made due to listener requests.

In New Zealand they made the exact same decision, all the stations which owned by MediaWorks & New Zealand Media Entertainment currently banned from playing songs from one of the most influential musicians in history.

“We aren’t deciding whether Michael Jackson is guilty of paedophilia, we’re just making sure our radio stations are going to play the music people want to hear”. Said Leon Wratt, MediaWorks Group content director in an interview with radio station Magic Talk, then he continued: “You’ve got 500 songs on a playlist and you have to make the decisions which 500 are the ones people will want to listen to.”

“Leaving Neverland” containes lots of disturbing evidences but one of the most memorable one was that the King of Pop married one of the kids who’s accused him of being abusive.

James Safechuck claimed he was only ten years-old the time he married Jackson (then 30) in a ceremony that was held in Michael’s bedroom and says he still has the jewelry to support this. MJ and James were met 1 year beforehand, in 1987 in a Pepsi commercial.

James, now has 2 kids, says: “I was really into jewelry at that time and he would reward me with jewelry for doing sexual acts to him… He would say that I need to sell him some so I could earn the gift.”

Safechuck continues: “So we were like this married couple. I say ‘married’ because we had this mock wedding ceremony… We did this in his bedroom and we filled out some vows, like we would be bonded forever. It felt good. And the ring is nice – it has a row of diamonds, the wedding ring.”
