Bee Gee's Legend, Barry Gibb, was asked during Nordoff Robbins’ O2 Silver Clef Awards who he thought was destined for legendary status in today's pop world. Gibb named Rita Ora, Ariana Grande and for some reason Ed Sheeran as his three destined for the title. He goes on to say about Ed Sheeran: "he has a lot of miles forward of him, and we know Rita Ora & Ariana – she’s gonna have a good future. I am a female singer fan. I am inclined towards female singers."

this OP is running out of paper bags for these ugly British singers tbh.

ONTD, do you agree? Who in music is well on their way to being Legends?

Ex-The Used Members Tell All!

0
0


About a decade late, Quinn Allman and Branden Steineckert (founding members of The Used) have done a tell-all podcast about their time in the band, and more importantly, talk all about how and why they got kicked out!

Tons of details behind the cut, but for people who mostly dgaf but kinda wanna know, the TLDR:
- Quinn/Branden wrote 99% of first two albums and are making music again now!!
- Bert and Jeph seem like huge jerks. Branden was kicked out for being sober, band wanted someone they could party with (this was pretty much known).
- Kicked Quinn out after he took a personal year for many stressors (multiple deaths, mom was homeless, etc.). He had intended to come back initially. He found out he was out of the band officially through the FB announcement.
- Anniversary tour with first two albums was Quinn/Branden’s idea, which other guys shot down. Then they kicked them out and used the idea.

Long af info about the drama for probably the 2 remaining Used fans in the world:


Band history/background while Branden and Quinn are still in the band:



- Branden and Quinn are the founding members, and the two of them wrote 99% of the first two albums (aka the only good ones) even tho all members are credited equally for songwriting. It was hard to get Bert to show up to anything bc of his drug use, while Jeph barely contributed anything at all (both musically and business-wise).
- Bert would party wayyy too hard, do shrooms at 5 am, miss soundcheck, sleep all day, be throwing up tiil shortly before shows. They had to cancel multiple shows bc of his partying. Quality of shows suffered because he hadn’t slept and “his voice would sound like shit,” he “wasn’t singing when he was supposed to be singing” or “screaming when he was supposed to scream.”
- Branden – “We’re all pulling our weight up here, but [he sounded] like shit.”
- Branden figured if Bert wouldn’t take care of himself, he would help him. Would make him tea and get medicine for him, “doctoring this kid back to being able to perform.”
- Bert = stereotypical rock star, heavy drug use, etc. He never actually consented to being on The Osbournes and hated how he was portrayed. Apparently Kelly Osbourne is very sweet lol (tho Starbucks prob claims otherwise). Bert went to rehab for drugs before joining the band.
- Quinn actually didn’t start drinking much until they started going on tour. Tried weed for the first time on tour.

Branden getting kicked out / stuff leading up to it:
- Partying got too extreme – tour manager had cocaine on their passports at one point while going through Canadian border. Branden was frustrated by dysfunction and lack of professionalism in the band (why he thinks he came across as uptight/not fun bc he didn’t like those things)
- Branden wanted the crew bus to instead be “sober bus” – thought “to each their own” and everyone could tour the way they wanted to that way, but ppl perceived it as a divide amongst the band (3 guys in the band on one bus, and then Branden’s bus)
- For the 3rd record, was told by Bert “Quinn and I are going to write the record” and “we’ll have Jeph and you come in and produce after.” Branden went along with it bc he just wanted to keep the band together.
- On Aug 1, Quinn calls Branden to kick him outta band. People were feeling like Branden judged them for their lifestyles cause he’s straight edge, even though Branden denies that he is judgmental at all. Quinn said Branden was “too different” and they wanted someone who was “more like them” who would party with them. People blame Quinn for everything tho he was more of the “final decision-maker” while the idea/feelings had been brewing for a while.



Aftermath of Branden being kicked out from his perspective:



- Most mad and betrayed by Jeph. “Everyone from label people to producers to everybody in the band” had wanted Jeph out of the band at one point or another, “that was just the nature of the beast.” Branden always went to bat for him and defended him. Was really hurt since Jeph wouldn’t have been in the band if Branden hadn’t fought for him so many times, but Jeph just went along with Branden being kicked out.
- Jeph e-mailed him, but Branden never responded. The one thing Branden respected him for was their friendship, but he let go of that to keep his job. Jeph would go along with whatever kept him a job.
- Wasn’t mad at Bert bc “Bert doesn’t stand up for shit dude, so I can’t really be mad at you.”
- A year after leaving, Bert called him and they talked for 3-4 hours. Told him “you’d go along with anything as long as you can keep doing you,” and “you don’t make decisions for shit, you don’t stand up for shit, so how can I be mad at you for this”
- He was mad at Quinn, but could still respect him bc at least Quinn had a spine and “stood for something.”
- Being kicked out was the hardest thing he’d been through after his dad dying. Had worked so hard to build the band, name it, do the recordings, and “build this monster” with his friends, and then got kicked out for being sober
- Heartbreaking to see the band replace him, play the songs he’d written. Got sick to his stomach when band would come somewhere geographically near him.
- Went from being “Branden from The Used” to just Branden. Became very depressed and isolated before joining Rancid 3 months later.
- When Bert invited him to a show in SLC, said he would meet Bert but wouldn’t come to the show. “That’s like watching someone have sex with your ex-giirlfriend.” ‘I don’t need to see that guy playing my drums and my beats and butchering them,” “those are my babies. If I have to see him play Blue and Yellow, I’ll be crushed, that was one of my favorite songs we ever wrote.”
- Rancid was one of his favorite bands, and people kept saying Branden being able to join them meant everything happens for a reason. Branden – “I’m not going to chalk this up to everything happens for a reason. What reason, so I could be in Rancid? I had my own band.”



Band after Branden’s departure / leading up to Quinn getting kicked out:



- Quinn said he and Branden were the architects of The Used. When Branden left, the functionality of the band changed immediately. Quinn got tired of the decision making, essentially being the responsible one.
- When Quinn and Branden reconnected (while Quinn was still in the band), they started making ideas for The Used, came up with idea of anniversary tour with both records on diff nights and using the original lineup. This made the current anniv. tour a “tough pill to swallow.”
- Communication was completely broken in the band. When Quinn suggested Branden coming back for a show, it was a “flat no.” When suggesting anniversary tour, response was “every band does that, I don’t want to do that.”
- Branden said Bert was being two-faced – would try talking Branden into working with the Used but would then scapegoat Quinn by saying Quinn wouldn’t be interested. At the same time, when Quinn would bring up Branden rejoining to Bert, Bert wasn’t interested.
- Tons of negative energy for every little thing – Quinn said they would be watching TV and there would be a negative comment about every single thing – “We hate Adele. We hate Beyonce, Coldplay, this commercial, that commercial, Little Caesars pizza”
- Quinn had ambitious ideas for band, i.e. taking out a loan with 5% interest and self-funding, instead of using major label where the label takes 60% of the cut.
- “We would get into the studio for weeks and weeks and it would be horrific.” John Feldman said he didn’t like any songs – “They’re not even songs.” Feldman would ask Bert if he had any lyrics and Bert would say “Yeah… but I don’t have them with me.”



Quinn getting kicked out:


- Quinn had period of intense stress after which he asked for a personal break . Several deaths of people he knew – Quinn became father figure to children of one of the deceased. His mom became homeless and he was trying to get her attorney/home.
- Everyone was very kind about it even with tour starting in month and a half
- Assumed he’d be back in time for anniversary shows, after taking about a year off. Then didn’t hear anything from the band. “It was just crickets, from that point until now, I haven’t talked to them at all.”
- At one point, he contacted the band to say “have a great tour, would love to come to a show.” The band texted back, ”Absolutely do not come to the show, we don’t want that energy around the show. There’s too much going on, we’ll talk either before or after the tour.”
- Quinn – “I was never told I was kicked out of the band, I was never told we were moving on with you, I was never told Justin is our new guitar player.” During a conference call, they were being evasive and hung up on him. He texted the manager “Am I being kicked out of the band,” and manager replied “I think so.”
- This is all the last he ever heard of anything besides lawyers contacting him saying don’t contact the band or financial manager, unless you do it through an attorney
- Found out officially about himself being kicked out via the FB announcement. The band posted numerous posts on top of it within minutes to try and bury the ‘Quinn leaving’ story. Quinn kept refreshing the page and saw the number of comments on the post go from 400 to 380 to 315, meaning the band was deleting comments/curating the feed.


Where they are now:

- Since Jan 2016, these two have been making music together, started a new band, and have a new singer. They aren’t releasing much info yet but sounded super excited about it. Podcast host said the music sounds amazing too!

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn arrive in Rhode Island ahead of her famous yearly 4th of July party

0
0

Toe recently arrived in Rhode Island where Taylor traditionally throws her big Fourth of July party. The photos of Taylor and that guy getting off of her jet are as blurry as the other paparazzi appearances she's made since she disappeared months ago.

First in mid-may, blurry pictures of Taylor in front of her mother's house in Nashville emerged as she publicly announced her relationship with Joe Alwin. Then as sources close to Taylor exclusively confirmed Joe has met her friends but she's keeping their relationship "insanely private", the first blurry photos of Toe together near her private jet came out. A couple days later, we saw blurry photos of Taylor and Joe very casually enjoying coffee on her balcony. And now we see blurry confirmation that they will both be in attendance at her big holiday party.

In related news, it appears the giant water slide of patriotism is already up at her house and the party will be getting started soon.

Do you believe blurry paparazzi photos give off a less staged vibe than crisp, clear ones? Will Toe make their first public appearance together in high-definition at her party?

ONTD Reading Challenge (July) - "I Don't Know Her"

0
0
Happy July! A new month, a new ONTD Reading Challenge task! This month the theme is "I Don't Know Her," and the task is to read a book by a woman author who you've never read anything by. If you've yet to decide on a book (or books), milfordacademy and hjalmartazar are here with a selection from across the globe!



Stay With Me, Ayobami Adebayo (Nigeria)
"Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage--after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures--Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time--until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife. Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she does--but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine."

The Queue, Basma Abdel Aziz (Egypt)
"Citizens from all walks of life mix and wait in the sun: a revolutionary journalist, a sheikh, a poor woman concerned for her daughter’s health, and even the brother of a security officer killed in clashes with protestors. Among them is Yehia, a man who was shot during the Events and is waiting for permission from the Gate to remove a bullet that remains lodged in his pelvis. Yehia’s health steadily declines, yet at every turn, officials refuse to assist him, actively denying the very existence of the bullet. Ultimately it is Tarek, the principled doctor tending to Yehia’s case, who must decide whether to follow protocol as he has always done, or to disobey the law and risk his career to operate on Yehia and save his life."

We Need New Names, NoViolet Bulawayo (Zimbabwe)
"Darling is only ten years old, and yet she must navigate a fragile and violent world. In Zimbabwe, Darling and her friends steal guavas, try to get the baby out of young Chipo's belly, and grasp at memories of Before. Before their homes were destroyed by paramilitary policemen, before the school closed, before the fathers left for dangerous jobs abroad.

But Darling has a chance to escape: she has an aunt in America. She travels to this new land in search of America's famous abundance only to find that her options as an immigrant are perilously few."

Aya, Marguerite Abouet (Côte d'Ivoire)
"In the sun-warmed streets of working-class Yopougon, aka Yop City, holidays are around the corner, the open-air bars and discos are starting to fill up, and trouble of a different kind is about to raise eyebrows. At night, an empty table in the market square under the stars is all the privacy young lovers can hope for, and what happens there is soon everybody's business. Aya tells the story of its nineteen-year-old heroine, the studious and clear-sighted Aya, her easygoing friends Adjoua and Bintou, and their meddling relatives and neighbors. It's a breezy and wryly funny account of the desire for joy and freedom, and of the simple pleasures and private troubles of everyday life in Yop City."

Tropical Fish: Tales from Entebbe, Doreen Baingana (Uganda)
"Set mostly in pastoral Entebbe with stops in the cities Kampala and Los Angeles, Tropical Fish depicts the reality of life for Christine Mugisha and her family after Idi Amin's dictatorship. Three of the eight chapters are told from the point of view of Christine's two older sisters, Patti, a born-again Christian who finds herself starving at her boarding school, and Rosa, a free spirit who tries to magically seduce one of her teachers. But the star of Tropical Fish is Christine, whom we accompany from her first wobbly steps in high heels, to her encounters with the first-world conveniences and alienation of America, to her return home to Uganda."




The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão, Martha Batalha (Brazil)
"Euridice is young, beautiful and ambitious, but when her rebellious sister Guida elopes, she sets her own aspirations aside and vows to settle down as a model wife and daughter. And yet as her husband's professional success grows, so does Euridice's feeling of restlessness. She embarks on a series of secret projects - from creating recipe books to becoming the most sought-after seamstress in town - but each is doomed to failure. Her tradition-loving husband is not interested in an independent wife. And then one day Guida appears at the door with her young son and a terrible story of hardship and abandonment. The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao is a wildly inventive, wickedly funny and keenly observed tale of two sisters who, surrounded by a cast of unforgettable characters, assert their independence and courageously carve a path of their own in 1940s Rio de Janeiro."

Here Comes the Sun, Nicole Y. Dennis-Benn (Jamaica)
"At an opulent resort in Montego Bay, Margot hustles to send her younger sister, Thandi, to school. Taught as a girl to trade her sexuality for survival, Margot is ruthlessly determined to shield Thandi from the same fate. When plans for a new hotel threaten their village, Margot sees not only an opportunity for her own financial independence but also perhaps a chance to admit a shocking secret: her forbidden love for another woman. As they face the impending destruction of their community, each woman fighting to balance the burdens she shoulders with the freedom she craves must confront long-hidden scars. "

Do Not Say We Have Nothing, Madeleine Thien (Canada)
"Master storyteller Madeleine Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations—those who lived through Mao’s Cultural Revolution and their children, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square. At the center of this epic story are two young women, Marie and Ai-Ming. Through their relationship Marie strives to piece together the tale of her fractured family in present-day Vancouver, seeking answers in the fragile layers of their collective story. Her quest will unveil how Kai, her enigmatic father, a talented pianist, and Ai-Ming’s father, the shy and brilliant composer, Sparrow, along with the violin prodigy Zhuli were forced to reimagine their artistic and private selves during China’s political campaigns and how their fates reverberate through the years with lasting consequences."

The Body Where I Was Born, Guadalupe Nettel (Mexico)
"From a psychoanalyst's couch, the narrator looks back on her bizarre childhood—in which she was born with a birth defect into a family intent on fixing it—having somehow survived the emotional havoc she went through. And survive she did, but not unscathed. This intimate narrative echoes the voice of the narrator's younger self, a sharp, sensitive girl keen to life's hardships."

Lakota Woman, Mary Crow Dog, (US)
"Mary Brave Bird grew up fatherless in a one-room cabin, without running water or electricity, on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Rebelling against the aimless drinking, punishing missionary school, narrow strictures for women, and violence and hopeless of reservation life, she joined the new movement of tribal pride sweeping Native American communities in the sixties and seventies. It is a unique document, unparalleled in American Indian literature, a story of death, of determination against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the Native American struggle for rights."

Things We Lost in the Fire, Mariana Enríquez (Argentina)
"A woman returns to the rundown suburb of Buenos Aires her family once called home. From the safety of her window, she watches as a teenage prostitute raises her five-year-old son on the street. They sleep outside, surrounded by pimps and addicts, psychopaths and dealers, worshippers of the occult and corrupt police.

One day, the mother and the dirty kid are gone, and the dismembered body of a child is found in the neighbourhood. Is the murder part of a satanic ritual, or a gangland killing? Could it be the dirty kid, and if so, is his mother a victim too; or an accomplice; or his killer?"




Waking Lions, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen (Israel)
"Dr Eitan Green is a good man. He saves lives. Then, speeding along a deserted moonlit road in his SUV, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene. It is a decision that changes everything. Because the dead man’s wife knows what happened. When she knocks at Eitan’s door the next day, tall and beautiful, he discovers that her price is not money. It is something else entirely, something that will shatter Eitan’s safe existence and take him into a world of secrets and lies."

Penance, Kanae Minato (Japan)
"When they were children, Sae, Maki, Akiko and Yuko were tricked into separating from their friend Emily by a mysterious stranger. Then the unthinkable occurs: Emily is found murdered hours later. Sae, Maki, Akiko and Yuko weren't able to accurately describe the stranger's appearance to the police after the Emily's body was discovered. Asako, Emily's mother, curses the surviving girls, vowing that they will pay for her daughter's murder."

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China, Jung Chang (China)
"Through the story of three generations of women -- grandmother, mother and daughter -- Wild Swans tells nothing less than the whole tumultuous history of China's tragic twentieth century, from sword-bearing warlords to Chairman Mao, from the Manchu Empire to the Cultural Revolution. At times terrifying, at times astonishing, always deeply moving, Wild Swans is a book in a million, a true story with all the passion and grandeur of a great novel."

Foreigner: A Novel, Nahid Rachlin (Iran)
"Feri, an Iranian woman in her thirties, left Iran to study and work in the United States, where she married an American and settled down. Now, after fourteen years, she has returned to Iran to visit her family. Unexpectedly, she finds herself strangely pulled by the old culture, where she will confront as never before the question of where she belongs and how she wants to live."

Pachinko, Min Jin Lee (South Korea)
"Pachinko follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all. Deserted by her lover, Sunja is saved when a young tubercular minister offers to marry and bring her to Japan."




Based on a True Story, Delphine de Vigan (France)
"Overwhelmed by the huge success of her latest novel, exhausted and unable to begin writing her next book, Delphine meets L. L. is the kind of impeccable, sophisticated woman who fascinates Delphine; a woman with smooth hair and perfectly filed nails, and a gift for saying the right thing. Delphine finds herself irresistibly drawn to her, their friendship growing as their meetings, notes and texts increase. But as L. begins to dress like Delphine, and, in the face of Delphine's crippling inability to write, L. even offers to answer her emails, and their relationship rapidly intensifies. L. becomes more and more involved in Delphine's life until she patiently takes control and turns it upside down: slowly, surely, insidiously."

House of Day, House of Night, Olga Tokarczuk (Poland)
Nowa Ruda is a small town in Silesia, an area that has been a part of Poland, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia in the past. When the narrator moves into the area, she discovers everyone--and everything--has a story. With the help of Marta, her enigmatic neighbor, the narrator accumulates these stories, tracing the history of Nowa Ruda from the its founding to the lives of its saints, from the caller who wins the radio quiz every day to the man who causes international tension when he dies straddling the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia."

Café Europa, Slavenka Drakulic (Croatia)
"Drakulic notes that Eastern Europeans are so anxious to become like their Western counterparts that every city and town has a Cafe Europa that is a pale imitation of similar establishments in Paris and Rome. She presents here a collection of essays that explore life in various Eastern European countries since the fall of communism. As a citizen of Croatia (formerly a part of Yugoslavia) living now in Vienna with her Swedish husband, she writes knowingly as a survivor of a communist regime, as one who realizes that pitfalls still lie ahead for nations emerging from the Soviet yoke."

The Door, Magda Szabó (Hungary)
"A stylishly told tale which recounts a strange relationship built up over 20 years between a writer and her housekeeper. After an unpromising and caustic start benign feelings develop and ultimately the writer benefits from what becomes an inseparable relationship. Simultaneously we learn Emerence's tragic past which is revealed in snapshots throughout the book."

Quicksand, Malin Persson Giolito (Sweden)
"A mass shooting has taken place at a prep school in Stockholm’s wealthiest suburb. Eighteen-year-old Maja Norberg is charged for her involvement in the massacre that left her boyfriend and her best friend dead. She has spent nine months in jail awaiting trial. Now the time has come for her to enter the courtroom. How did Maja—popular, privileged, and a top student—become a cold-blooded killer in the eyes of the public? What did Maja do? Or is it what she failed to do that brought her here?"




The Hate Race, Maxine Beneba Clarke (Australia)
"'Against anything I had ever been told was possible, I was turning white. On the surface of my skin, a miracle was quietly brewing . . .'

Suburban Australia. Sweltering heat. Three bedroom blonde-brick. Family of five. Beat-up Ford Falcon. Vegemite on toast. Maxine Beneba Clarke's life is just like all the other Aussie kids on her street.

Except for this one, glaring, inescapably obvious thing."

Breadfruit , Célestine Vaite (French Polynesia)
"When a drunken Pito proposes to Materena, she initially thinks it's just the booze talking. As she nevertheless starts planning, she juggles everyday life only to have Pito act as though he's forgotten his proposal."

Carpentaria, Alexis Wright (Australia)
"In the sparsely populated northern Queensland town of Desperance, loyalties run deep and battle lines have been drawn between the powerful Phantom family, leaders of the Westend Pricklebush people, and Joseph Midnight’s renegade Eastend mob, and their disputes with the white officials of neighboring towns. Steeped in myth and magical realism, Wright’s hypnotic storytelling exposes the heartbreaking realities of Aboriginal life."

Picnic at Hanging Rock, Joan Lindsay (Australia)
"Everyone at Appleyard College for Young Ladies agreed it was just right for a picnic at Hanging Rock. After lunch, a group of three of the girls climbed into the blaze of the afternoon sun, pressing on through the scrub into the shadows of Hanging Rock. Further, higher, till at last they disappeared.

They never returned."

The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton (New Zealand)
"It is 1866, and young Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: A wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky."

SEKAI NO OWARI “RAIN” To Be Used as Theme for “Mary and The Witch’s Flower”


Wynonna Earp 2X05 promo and post 2X04 interviews

0
0
Promo for 2X05, "Let's Pretend We're Strangers". Synopsis: 'A furious thunder snow storm makes land fall while Wynonna and Waverly are forced to confront their demons…and each other.'




Emily Andras interviewed for The TV Junkies and EW to discuss 2X04.



Highlights:

* The goo is going to affect Wynonna and Waverly differently. The good news was that Waverly was able to hold it off as long as she did, the bad news is that it's now in sexy, badass Wynonna. Wynonna had so much on her shoulders. she couldn't keep track of everything and maybe took for granted that Waverly was ok, in a good place romantically and finding herself. Wynonna really likes Nicole and vice versa, even though they're not the same type of person. They both looked at Waverly through blinders and wanted to protect her, it wasn't about Nicole or Wynonna, it was about them being concerned but in different ways.

* Dominique did the singing performance the same week she cheerleaded for 8 hours a day. She was pretty nervous about it. She was on West End when she was a teenager in the Spice Girls musical with Hannah John Kamen (Killjoys) and is crazy talented. Dominique still has some tricks up her sleeve, it's an incredible year for her.

* Dolls is some sort of flaming lizard/dragon creature/demon, if he can control it, he has some advantages. There's something to be said for destiny as he's been returned to them. They worked so hard to save him, recreate his drugs for him, he's pretty determined to stay and help them out when they need it most. They're going to have to deal with him being a wanted man and a fugitive. The Doc-Dolls relationship has changed so much this year- they're not just rivals, the fact that they care so much about Wynonna, Waverly, Haught and everybody also bonds them, so they can joke about it a little bit. Tim loved using his guns and getting to shoot something and he was excited to get a hat again.

* Emily really wanted Tucker to dress like an anime loving pedophile, he was really creepy when he essentially gave up on his sisters. The Widows came to Purgatory with a very specific goal in mind and in 2X04, everything starts circling the Earps again. It all comes back to the Earps, the curse, the Ghost River Triangle, etc.

* About 2X05: It's one of Emily's favorites, Melanie is completely off the chain, there's a huge game-changer in this episode. It as one of the biggest things they've ever done on the show, it also has a lot of really disgusting moments Emily is exceptionally proud of.






Highlights:

* Melanie has amazing range and can go from badass to comedic genius to vulnerable puppy within the same scene. In the first three episodes Wynonna was trying really hard to keep the team together, in Dolls' absence, Emily felt it was only fair to give Melanie a chance to spread her wings a bit. Evil Wynonna is delicious, fans won't be disappointed. Wynonna has superpowers, a demon being inside of her is not a good thing. Will it try to mimic Wynonna to get what it wants, even if that means harming/killing people, or will it be out in the open? If and when the team finds out she's possessed, how are they going to fix it?

* The "new Gardners" have lines around their faces, the demons literally took their faces. Since the Revenants look like us and could be anyone in town, there's been an ongoing theme on the show of not really knowing who to trust among your friends and neighbors, at the very point when you need to trust people if you're going to succeed. Do we ever really know each other, what people are capable of or doing behind closed doors? The idea that maybe these demons in many different forms are now operating among our people, whether they know it or not, is going to lead to a lo of tension and a lot of really good stakes.

* Dolls has 'dragon tendencies' and they're still trying to discover technically what he is and how he became like that. Was he born that way? Did Black Badge do something to him? What did the drugs have to do with either suppressing or bringing it out? He's certainly less than human- he's partly demonic or has demonic elements, which is why Peacemaker glows. Peacemaker can inherently tell whether someone is human or other, especially if Wynonna intends to harm them.

* We haven't seen the last of the goo creature's tentacle powers. About next episode: Playtime is over, the chess pieces are on the board and we're starting to see what we're going to be dealing with this year; it's just a blistering season. It moves lightning-fast with so many shocks and surprises.

Sophie Turner blasts Game Of Thrones rape scene critics

Sophie said the following in an interview concerning the infamous rape scene from a previous season:

“Sexual assault wasn’t something that had affected me or anybody I knew, so I was pretty blase about the whole thing. Naively so. And then I shot the scene, and in the aftermath there was this huge uproar that we would depict something like that on television. The more we talk about sexual assault the better, and screw the people who are saying we shouldn’t be putting this on TV and screw the people who are saying they’re going to boycott the show because of it. This sort of thing used to happen and it continues to happen now, and if we treat it as such a taboo and precious subject, then how are people going to have the strength to come out and feel comfortable saying that this has happened to them?”

- Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, doesn't approve of her new boyfriend 'cause he's not black enough. 🤦

- Rih told him she's dating a new guy last month.

- Ronald's friend sent him pictures of Rih and Hassan fucking kissing in the pool and that's how he found out how Hassan looks - "I was looking for someone of colour, a darker colour, but whatever makes her happy. He’s very tall."

- He also had no idea Hassan is a billionaire - "I didn’t know he was a billionaire. Too little money, or too much money can’t make you happy, you need to something in-between."

ONTD Original: 7 celebrities who initially came out as bisexual before coming out as gay

0
0
Elton John: In 1984, Elton John married German recording engineer Renate Blauel. At the time, many people speculated that the marriage was a cover for his homosexuality, as Elton had previously come out as bisexual in a 1976 interview with Rolling Stone. After his divorce from Blauel in 1988, he told the magazine that he was "comfortable" being gay. In 1993, he began a relationship with David Furnish, and they have been together ever since.



Neil Patrick Harris: On Howard Stern's show, Neil Patrick Harris revealed that even though he knew he liked guys since the age of 13, he had slept with around 15 women. He explained that while he was in high school, all of his friends were sleeping with girls, and it just seemed like that’s what he had to do, even though it left him feeling unsettled. Neil came out as bisexual, describing it as being a "half-truth, but the only truth" for him at the time. Neil didn't realize he was gay until he kissed Burt Reynolds, and he later came out as gay in 2006.

Tom Daley: In December 2013, Tom Daley released a YouTube video announcing that he had been in a relationship with a man since early that year. Even though he stated he was dating a man, he also said that he was still sexually attracted to women, choosing not to label himself. In 2014, after his YouTube video appearance, he clarified, saying "I am a gay man now." Tom Daley married Dustin Lance Black earlier this year.



Joey Graceffa: YouTube star Joey Graceffa shared his coming out story on his YouTube channel in 2015. In the video, Joey says that he first came out as bisexual to one of his best female friends, and only later realized he was gay before telling his sister and then his parents. In 2016, Joey confirmed that he was dating fellow internet celeb Daniel Preda.



Mika: In a September 2009 interview in Gay & Night, the "Grace Kelly" singer Mika commented on his sexuality: "I've never ever labelled myself. But having said that; I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with... Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me..." Later he stated in an interview with This Is London: "I consider myself label-less because I could fall in love with anybody – literally – any type, any body. I'm not picky." In an August 2012 interview with the magazine Instinct, Mika confirmed his sexuality, describing himself as gay.



Yusaf Mack: In 2015, professional boxer Yusaf Mack came out as bisexual in a statement he released retracting allegations that he was drugged into doing a gay adult film. A few days after his initial statement, Yusaf revealed that he is in fact gay. Yusaf said that he knew he was gay for around 8 years, and that the story that he was drugged into doing a gay porn movie was a lie to cover up his sexuality.



Duncan James: In 2009, Duncan James of British boy band Blue came out as bisexual, although he later identified himself as gay in 2012. Duncan specified that he enjoys having sex with women but still identifies as a gay man, making the claim that "Regardless of whether I sleep with women or not, I'm still sleeping with men so I'm gay."
