Peter Jackson responds to Gollum court case
Director Peter Jackson issued the following statement in regards to the Turkish court case in which a physician risks jail time for comparing the Turkish president to images of Gollum:
“If the images ... are in fact the ones forming the basis of this Turkish lawsuit, we can state categorically – none of them feature the character known as Gollum. All of them are images of the character called Sméagol.
“Sméagol is a joyful, sweet, character. Smeagol does not lie, deceive, or attempt to manipulate others. He is not evil, conniving, or malicious – these personality traits belong to Gollum, who should never be confused with Sméagol. Sméagol would never dream of wielding power over those weaker than himself. He is not a bully. In fact he’s very loveable.”

The Always Effervescent John Boyega On Sway In The Morning
01:10 - he does the kanye "you ain't got the answers sway" impression.
01:39 - Who is Finn?
02:50 - he was born in 1992....
03:46 - "how did you grow up?" Grew up in London...born and raised...he was raised in peckham a "very cool community of people mostly minorities"....His routine was theatre, church, school.
04:34 - his dad is a church minister.
04:40 - jokes he doesn't have sex or do drugs cos he is a disney employee...Finn is a virgin. He has a very open relationship with his dad.
05:44 - what's his lowest moment? His reality didn't match to what he wanted to be. His reality didn't not represent him being in a star wars movie. His existence was basic (which is not a bad thing) - free education, decent council housing...and didn't give him any clues as to what his future would be.
06:52 - getting to grips with the fact that no one was going to scout him, and it wasn't just going to happen and he was going to have to work hard.
09:00 - Attack the block.
10:14 - do you rap at all? absolutely not!
11:02 - He is in limbo. And doesn't know how many movies he is going to do. Depends on reception.
11:52 - reaction to being cast and the road to Star Wars - he was relieved when he was cast. people usually go from Attack The Block to Star wars when they talk about him, but there have been a few years in between of "Nos", a lot of "you're not right enough" . So it feels like being rewarded for his persistence.
15:33 - Mystery sack questions (watch for his answers)
If you could be in a movie with any 3 actors alive or dead, who would you pick?
Describe the first time you ever go your arse whooped.
F**k, Marry Kill - options: Rihanna, Miley, Taylor Swift.

Mr. Mahone apparently ran into fellow pop crooner Liam Payne. Think a collaboration is in the works?

ONTD Original: 5 Times 2015 Delivered The Goods
1. Zayn leaves One Direction
On March 25th, Zayn Malik announced via a Facebook post that he was leaving the world's biggest boyband to have some quality me-time and make #realmusic. Directioners were heartbroken (#CutForZayn), the rest of the world wasn't surprised / didn't care.
The months that followed included hilariously petty sparring between Zayn and his temporary BFF Naughty Boy, and 1D's resident rat Louis Tomlinson.
ONTD Post (I highly recommend reading the comments; some of our best work): http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/94883665.html
2. Rachel Dolezal is 'transracial' (i.e. delusional, stupid, racist)
In June it was revealed that Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP (that's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) chapter president is totally white, but presented herself as an African-American woman. She eventually resigned from her post, but continues to state that she "identifies as black".
Meanwhile, Iggy Azalea prepared a lawsuit to take Dolezal down for stealing her schtick.
ONTD post: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/96329219.html
3. Caitlyn Jenner covers Vanity Fair
After months of speculation, former athlete Bruce Jenner came out as transgender early in 2015. In June, Caitlyn was introduced to the world on the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine, a cover that was met with both widespread applause and transphobia. Caitlyn went on to star in her own docu-series and be awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs.
She then displayed a devastating lack of social awareness by proclaiming that she is still a republican.

4. Nicki Minaj calls out the VMAs; Taylor and Miley embarrass themselves (allegedly)
In what is OP's favourite string of events of 2015, Nicki Minaj called out the VMAs after her iconic video for Anaconda did not receive a nomination for Video of the Year. After a Nikki tweet that was clearly referring to Miley Cyrus'; "Wrecking Ball"; and to the wider bias against POC in VMA nominations, queen of White Feminism Taylor Swift decided that it was all about her.
Much to ONTDs delight, the internet WENT IN and even Katy Perry, the subject of Taylor's most recent hate-rampage, chimed in.
Miley, the intended subject of Nicki's initial tweet, responded that Minaj's complaints were "not polite" and "just about [her]self".
This lead to the greatest VMA moment in history.

5. Lamar Odom overdoses
EDIT: I realise now how tacky putting this here with the title of this post. I more meant 'things that got people talking' but yeah this was not in good taste. Sorry!!
In October, former basketball star and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian was found unconcsious in a brothel in Nevada. His family and the Kardashian family rushed to his side, and many reports emerged that he was fighting for his life. He was discharged from a Vegas hospital a week later but is reportedly facing lifelong cognitive and mobility impairments.
ONTD post: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/98453874.html
Honorary mentions go to: the Duggars, Ariana licking donuts, Bobbi Kristina :(, Kylie and creepy Tyga, Kanye announcing his run for president, Kelly Osbourne and Raven Symone repeatedly saying stupid shit, Donald Trump actually becoming a viable presidential candidate, the continued fall of Bill Cosby, RiRi's missing album, Justin Beiber's continued assholery, and Guilana Rancic destroying her own career by being racist about Zendaya.
ONTD, what was your favourite scandal / story of 2015?
This is dedicated to all of you wonderful ONTDers who made 2015 so much more fun for me! Happy Holidays!

Carrie Fisher discusses Leia's "slave bikini"
Carrie Fisher responded to the debate whether or not they should ban merchandise with Leia's "slave bikini" with "I think that’s stupid... The father who flipped out about it, 'What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?' Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."
She said in a related interview, "She’s a prisoner of a giant testicle who has a lot of saliva going on and she does not want to wear that thing and it’s ultimately that chain, which you’re now indicating is some sort of accessory to S&M, that is used to kill the giant saliva testicle…. That’s asinine.”

Previously unknown Adele impersonator breaks BBC record
The clip of Jenny, whose day job is a nanny, and a beehive of fellow Adele impersonators singing Make You Feel My Love from the Adele at the BBC special has officially become the most-watched video ever on the BBC's YouTube channel, with more than 37 millions views in just two weeks.
The previous record holders were Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Alfonso Ribero, and DJ Jazzy Jeff performing a Fresh Prince of Bel Air-inspired medley back in 2013 (37 million views). Former The Voice UK judge Jessie J currently holds the third spot with her Nobody's Perfect duet (28.5 million views).
Executive Producer of Adele at the BBC Guy Freeman praised Jenny's performance: "Adele was very keen to do the sketch and worked closely with my team to make this comedy-gold moment such a roaring success. She shows not only what a great sport she is, but also what a great comedy actor she is too."
