Why Marvel Needs To Fire Rick Remender

$
0
0


As an avid comic book reader and a huge Captain America fan, Rick Remender's current run of Captain America volume 7 has been a nightmare, to say the least. There have been several problems with Remender's Cap that leave a bad taste in the mouth of fans. Remender has even told disgruntled fans over Twitter to go “drown themselves in hobo piss”. Yesterday Rick Remender tacked on his newest example of character abuse under the guise of creative license, turning fan-favorite Sam Wilson aka The Falcon into what can only be called a statutory rapist.

One of the new characters introduced in Remender's Captain America is Jet Black, she's the daughter of well-known Captain America supervillain Zola. At the start of the series she's a very young child and is even referred to by Remender himself as being an infant. Over the span of Remender's Cap run only 12 years have past. All the previous information given to readers by Rick Remender places Jet Black at about 14 or 15 years old at most.



Here's where it gets sleazy: in issue #22, which came out on Wednesday featured an upsetting spread of panels depicting Sam Wilson getting drunk and sleeping with Jet Black who states that she's 23 years old - in contradiction to everything Remender has told us. Many defenders of Remender's action are complaining that since Jet Black herself claimed to be of age then there's nothing wrong; its painfully obvious that these people haven't read anything else beyond that single panel and certainly not the previous 21 issues that have been telling readers otherwise.

Even if Jet Black is somehow really 23 years old through the magic of comic book space/time dynamics, nine years is still a pretty huge jump. It’s still hard to ignore the fact that she's still mentally immature and has suffered some pretty massive emotional trauma of late- not exactly a stellar example of unhindered ability to consent. Looking at the panels it’s clear that consent is hazy at best from both parties. The fact that consent is an argument at all here (from both sides of the controversy) should be an enormous red flag to both Marvel Comics and readers alike. Any situation where consent is this big of a gray area probably shouldn't be included in a Captain America comic.

Another upset for fan's is Rick Remender's decision to kill off long running character Sharon Carter; most fans believe that Remender “fridged” her. In comics the term “fridging” shortened from the full phrase “Women in Refrigerators” is used to describe a situation in which a autonomous female character is killed off for no other purpose than to further the plot of a male character. The name itself comes from Green Lantern #54, published in 1994, in which Green Lantern Kyle Rayner comes home to find his girlfriend strangled and stuffed inside his refrigerator. Since this incident, “fridging” has been used to refer to female characters killed, maimed or de-powered to further the plotline of a male counterpart



Sharon Carter's death occurred almost immediately following the first big offense Remender committed in the name of uninspired writing: the death of Captain America's young adopted son Ian Rogers. It’s bad enough to kill a 12 year old kid on panel, but when you factor in that he was brutally killed by being shot through the throat- its pretty messed up by anyone's standards.

Angry comic fans have started the hashtag #FireRickRemender on Twitter, tweeting angry messages directly to @Marvel. Fans are being urged to contact Marvel at mheroes@marvel.com with these complaints and to mark their emails with “okay to print” for further publicity. With the recent staggering box-office success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier it's enraging to think of all the potential new fans being turned off to Cap by Remender's sorry excuse for a Captain America comic. Not to mention how far Captain America book sales have plummeted with Remender at the helm. Long story short, this guy has got to go.

Demi Lovato angers Russians over on-stage Putin gay kiss

Russians are attacking Demi Lovato after one of her dancers, wearing a Vladimir Putin mask, kissed another man.

During a performance of her Pride anthem, Really Don’t Care, two of her male backing dancers shared a kiss.

One of them was naked apart from a portrait of Putin attached to his underwear.

Thousands of her fans tweeted using the hashtag #DemiHurtsRussianLovatics, saying they were angry about the incident.

‘She has no right to act this way. This has nothing to do with politics,’ one said. ‘She should continue singing and leave politicians to deal with their countries laws on their own.

‘What has she achieved?... If she’s trying to protect gay rights, she’d better find another way.

‘Offending the president of a foreign country is unacceptable’.

Others were less than coherent, using social media to send insults and threats over the incident.

And others even suggested she should be banned from Russia full stop.

‘Because of this the fans have turned their backs on her and she will very likely be banned from entering out country,’ one said.

‘And then they might ban all foreign artists. Bravo Demi.’

Michelle Duggar on Courtship Chaperones

Well, it has been very flexible so far. We’ve set an age limit of 10 years old and above. So we have a lot of potential chaperones with 15 kids over that age.

With Derick and Jill, they wrote out their courting rules at the beginning of their official courtship. These were their commitments to each other. After they agreed on them, they shared with their chaperones and family members so that they would know what they want to be held accountable for. Ben and Jessa have done the same thing.

The chaperones then have clear guidelines for what is acceptable and what’s not. They’re the accountability. What that means is they’re allowed to say, “Hey, are you supposed to be doing that?” But the funniest things have come up. For example can they high five during a game? And so as they go along, the couples have made some tweaks and changed things up a little bit.

Sometimes with all of our busy schedules, we’ve had to call on other folks to be chaperones.


When Jill and Derick were courting, everyone went on a trip and Jill had to stay back for her midwifery work. But she still wanted to see Derick when he got off work. So she called Ginny, a family friend, who was able to meet her and Derick at a restaurant and then they could all eat together. Ginny was at Jill’s bridal shower recently and she said, “I had the most fun. I got to be Jill and Derick’s chaperone and they treated me to lunch. What a deal!”

Grandma Duggar has also taken a few turns chaperoning, which is extra special for the girls. After a recent visit with Grandma as a chaperone Jill told me, “Grandma gave me some amazing advice. Derick and I were just so encouraged by her wisdom.” So you see, chaperones can take lots of forms and are quite helpful in many ways.

Zac Efron continues to prove himself as a master of seduction with another dancing video from his vacation in Italy this week, where he’s been catching some sun and wiggling on tables with actress Michelle Rodriguez and a few other friends, including a mysterious “Italian businessman” who straddled him from behind on Monday.

Zac’s Italian daddy has since been identified as Gianluca Vacchi, an “entrepreneur” that enjoys the company of young female models, and now apparently Zac Efron.

5 Comic-Con Surprises Sure to Happen

$
0
0


Even if you've never set foot in the San Diego Convention Center for Comic-Con, you likely know that there are always a healthy number of surprises that aren't listed on the already-massive schedule. Last year, Warner Bros. dropped perhaps one of the biggest bombs in Con history, by simply unveiling a logo, the merging of Batman and Superman's iconic symbols that let everyone know the forthcoming Man of Steel sequel was, in fact, something much, much greater: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Marvel did the same thing last year as well, with Joss Whedon announcing that the Marvel's The Avengers sequel will be titled Avengers: Age of Ultron, thus revealing the main villain in the same breath.

Way back in 2008, my first year attending SDCC, I was covering what I thought to be a rather innocuous Disney panel. Keep in mind, this is years before Disney had Marvel and LucasFilm in their stable. Out of nowhere, the lights went out and a bizarre video started playing on the screen, and just as we realized who Jeff Bridges was really playing... Tron: Legacy was announced. No one saw that coming, at all, and when that logo was flashed on the screen (at the time, they were going with Tr2n), it created the kind of euphoric bedlam that both studios and fans alike crave, and is one of the reasons San Diego Comic-Con gets bigger and bigger every year.

With SDCC 2014 just a few weeks away, we were pondering what dirty little tricks the studios have up their sleeves, which secret will cause the 7,000 nerds in Hall H to lose their shit. Of course, the official schedule hasn't even been released yet, but that hardly matters, since the best moments at the Con won't be found in that handy little guidebook they give you with your badge every year. With that in mind, we thought we'd dig deep through the highly-anticipated movies and TV shows coming out in the next year (or two) to see if we can determine what the big surprises of SDCC 2014 will be.

First Look at Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman



After Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder gave fans our first look at Ben Affleck as the new Batman on the set this May, many assumed that we would be seeing Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor shortly thereafter. Sadly, that did not happen, leaving fans clamoring for a first look at these iconic characters. Since shooting is still ongoing, it seems unlikely that any footage will be revealed, or that any cast members will be there in person, leaving these photo reveals as practically the only viable option for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to have a presence at Comic-Con, one year after the very announcement of the movie itself rocked Hall H to its core.

This will naturally happen during Warner Bros.' massive panel, where they normally roll out three or four different movies over a 90-minute or two-hour block. That panel will likely include The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies, Jupiter Ascending, Mad Max: Fury Road and possibly San Andreas or Entourage. With such a potentially-packed panel, it wouldn't shock me if the studio managed to sneak in quick glimpses of Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor at the end of their panel, possibly starting a tradition of literally last-minute superhero details emerging as the presentation comes to a close.

Marvel Solidifies Plans for Phase 3 And Beyond



It certainly is an exciting time to be a Marvel Studios fan, as they are riding high on a wave of critical and commercial success of Phase Two blockbusters Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Guardians of the Galaxy coming up next month and Avengers: Age of Ultron currently in production. While it remains to be seen if any Avengers: Age of Ultron footage will be shown, Marvel certainly can excite their fans in another way, by clarifying what the remaining movies in Marvel Phase Three are.

Ant-Man, Captain America 3 and Doctor Strange have already been confirmed for Phase Three, but there is already speculation that this phase could have more movies than both Phase One and Phase Two, which had five movies apiece. Thor 3 and The Avengers 3 will certainly have to be a part of Phase Three, and there has been talk of Black Panther coming into the mix as well. Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige revealed in August that the studio has their slate planned out up until the year 2021. Hopefully he plans on sharing some of that information with the fans in San Diego later this month.

First Look at Crimson Peak



Director Guillermo del Toro is currently in post-production on Crimson Peak, but the filmmaker is such a beloved presence at Comic-Con that I would hope he shows up with the first look at his haunted house thriller. Little is known about the story, except that it revolves around an author who discovers a terrifying secret about her husband, with an all-star cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska.

Universal doesn't have any major superhero franchises to flaunt or rely on, so I would expect them to pull out those proverbial big guns by giving fans a very early look at Crimson Peak, which doesn't hit theaters until October 2015, to build as much buzz as possible. The mere mention of Guillermo del Toro alone is probably enough to pack Hall H to capacity, so, while we may not get a full trailer, it's certainly possible that some footage may be shown.

Since we're feeling so generous, we decided to include two bonus surprises, one of which would put this year's Comic-Con light years above the rest.

That One Project/Announcement No One Sees Coming



Sure, this doesn't happen every year, but after the overwhelming reaction to Batman v Superman last year and Tron: Legacy in 2008, I don't see why a massive reveal like those shouldn't happen annually. Now, I'm not talking about actors who weren't on the official schedule "surprisingly" popping up, because that happens practically every day at SDCC. Do you think a project will be announced this year that will totally catch you surprise? Here are a few possible suggestions to throw out into the ether, just for shits and giggles. How about Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law abruptly showing up to announce Sherlock Holmes 3? Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass reveal their return to the Jason Bourne franchise? The possibilities are endless!

Disney Shows Fans the "Crawl" for Star Wars: Episode VII



If this actually happened, it would be one of the biggest bombshells in the annals of the Con, bar none. Hell, they even have an entire DAY devoted to Star Wars (Friday), every year, just to celebrate the iconic franchise, and given the immense hunger for any sort of new information regarding Star Wars: Episode VII, it would probably even be one of the most bootlegged/downloaded videos of all time. Disney/LucasFilm surely wouldn't be crazy enough to show their most rabid fans the opening crawl for Star Wars: Episode VII, would they? Even if they don't, I think they should strongly consider it.

When you really think about it, the iconic crawl, which has been shown before every Star Wars movie, is nothing but a glorified synopsis being beamed out into space, giving fans just a tiny bit of background information before diving into the story. The crawl never features any spoilers, or footage even, just words that have an indescribable amount of value to any Star Wars fan young or old, especially words that give us the first true details of the story that many have been waiting more than 30 years for.

It's worth noting as well that Disney is not holding its annual D23 Expo this year, making Comic-Con the prime venue for such a reveal, or the previoiusly-mentioned "surprise" of cast members appearing in person. However, I think the fans would still be even more surprised to see that crawl than to see the entire cast on the Hall H stage themselves.

Now The Rich And Famous Homes Are Disappearing From Google ...

Properties Of Tony Blair, Sir Paul Mccartney And
Katherine Jenkins Are Blurred On Street View



Now you see it... now you don't: Tony Blair's London home has been blurred out on Google Street View

  • Online map shows homes and buildings on almost every street in the world
  • Lily Allen's Cotswold home and Fred Goodwin's mansion can't be seen
  • Google says it has always been possible for those with 'compelling case' to have images of their homes removed
  • There has been an increase in requests to remove data from search archives after European 'right to be forgotten' ruling

  • Homes owned by a string of celebrities have vanished from Google’s Street View Map following draconian European privacy laws, it emerged yesterday.

    Mansions owned by Sir Paul McCartney, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and singer Katherine Jenkins are included in those that have disappeared from the controversial online tool.

    The popular map feature allows users to view homes, buildings and areas along almost every road in the world on a computer screen.

    But following a landmark ruling in a European court in favour of people’s ‘right to be forgotten’, the computer programme has seen dozens of requests from the rich and famous to have their homes removed.



    Normal scene: How the London home belonging to Mr Blair (right),
    which is protected by police, normally looks



    A mansion owned by Sir Paul McCartney are included in those that have vanished from Street View

    The house of former Beatles star McCartney can now not be seen on the 3-Dimensional online map, despite most of the London street that it is on being visible.

    A click of the mouse to show the west London home of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page also comes up against a blank. Street View users are instead left having to view the distinctive property from a long distance away – blocking out any of the home’s features.

    public eye of Street View, as is the Surrey home of Katherine Jenkins (right)



    Privacy: Street View users can only view Katherine Jenkins' mansion from far away - and parts are blurred

    The same barrier is in place at the Surrey home of Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins. This is despite it being seen by millions of people when it featured in a series of the BBC One’s Apprentice.

    The world’s biggest search engine has also blurred out the £5million Georgian townhouse in central London where the former Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie live.

    Blair, who has made millions of pounds trading off his image and former office since leaving Downing Street, moved to the property, where he is continually protected by a police guard, in 2004.

    The Cotswolds mansion owned by pop star Lily Allen and her husband Sam Cooper is also hidden from the public eye of Street View.

    It comes as the disgraced former Royal Bank of Scotland banker Fred Goodwin’s £3.5million Edinburgh mansion was revealed to have disappeared from the Google application last month.

    Goodwin, who was stripped of his knighthood, was held up as a figurehead for the bank’s disastrous crash in 2008 and the epitome of capitalist excess in the UK.

    A Google spokesman confirmed that it has always been possible for users with a ‘compelling case’ to convince them to remove images of their homes.

    But it has been hit by a huge increase in requests to remove data from its search archives after European judges ruled in favour of citizens’ ‘right to be forgotten’.

    The legal decision means that companies holding vast quantities of data - such as search engines - can be forced to take down information which is deemed ‘inadequate, irrelevant or excessive’.

    It also allows people to suppress embarrassing information about their pasts if it is no longer relevant.

    Services such as Google Street View are thought not be covered by the ruling.

    Google has already disclosed that it has been asked by MPs, celebrities and public figures to have search results removed. It has employed a team of workers to evaluate each request.


    As seen on screen: The popular map feature allows users to view homes, buildings and
    areas along almost every road in the world on a computer screen



    Removal: A Google spokesman confirmed that it has always been possible for users
    with a 'compelling case' to convince them to remove images of their homes

    The Mail’s website, MailOnline has also received notification from Google of which links it has decided to remove.

    They include a story about Dougie McDonald, who was a Scottish top-flight football referee who was found to have lied about his reasons for granting a penalty in a Celtic v Dundee United match; a story about Tesco workers posting stories on social media attacking their workers; and a story about a Muslim man who accused Cathay Pacific, the airline, of refusing to employ him because of his name.

    The stories have not been removed by MailOnline, which described the move as similar to ‘burning books in a library’.

    Who Is Hacking The Cast Members Of Glee? We Have Suspects

    Hey, remember when someone (allegedly) hacked into Glee star Chris Colfer’s Twitter account and sent out a message to fans that he’d been “let go” for personal reasons? Internet users the world over aggressively overreacted immediately, because that’s how we roll, but, of course, before we were even done making our WTF faces, his publicist showed up to say the actor had been hacked. So, who could possibly dislike Chris Colfer enough to hack his Twitter account? Well, it seems the answer to that question has more to do with Glee and less to do with the actor himself because someone else from the cast just got hacked too.

    Those who follow star Lea Michele were treated to a cute little message from her Twitter account announcing she was preggers today. Turns out that’s (allegedly) a lie too, as per her publicist, who swears there’s no baby growing inside her. Given the weird timing related to the Colfer incident, we’ll go ahead and believe her (and TV Line). If so, that would mean there is a serial hacker on the loose who is hellbent on screwing with the lives of the various cast members.

    So, let’s take a look at the suspects…


    A Pissed Off Ex-Glee Fan
    You know how much hate Glee got when it first hit the air and everyone who wasn’t a part of its demographic would make snarky comments about how dumb it was for high schoolers to break into song? Well, all of those haters don’t collectively hate Glee even a fraction as much as real fans who were on board with the show for years and got really pissed off at the direction it took hate Glee. There should be support groups for these ex-fans because they really, really need to talk out all that hate inside.

    So, yeah, it’s entirely possible one of them got so fed up about Rachel not getting the boot or fed up with some other Glee-related bullshit that they decided to take it out on Rachel and Kurt.

    Likelihood: 50%


    Dade “Zero Cool” Murphy
    Look: if you’ve seen Hackers, you know there’s nothing Zero Cool can’t do with a computer. He caused a 7 point drop in the New York Stock Exchange when he was 11. At this point (he’d be 37 now), his skills definitely would have advanced to the point where he could hack into some Twitter accounts. The only question is why he would do it. My theory is that Acid Burn is super into Glee, and since she’s forced Zero Cool to watch it for years, he decided to take a little revenge.

    And don’t think being a fictional character would prevent him from doing this. He’s overcome far more difficult obstacles – like Penn Jillette and Matthew Lillard.

    Likelihood: 30% (I'm giving this 0% because it's dumb.)


    Another Glee Cast Member
    I don’t know if you know this, but everyone on Glee seems to hate each other, and there’s more personal life drama than we could ever discuss in two paragraphs. Naya Rivera might get fired. Poor Cory Monteith died. Heather Morris had a naked picture scandal. There are all kinds of weird rumors about Lea Michele dating a gigolo. In short, it’s one steamy pile of weirdness, and everyone seems to agree there are a ton of grudges on set.

    So, maybe one of the cast members got a little pissed off about being demoted or getting bad storylines. Maybe there’s some tension about who has the biggest trailer or who got to shoot more takes of their big song. I don’t pretend to know how this works, but when someone dies, the police always look at the spouse. And when someone gets hacked, you have to look at their supposed friends.

    Likelihood: 15%(100% tbh)


    source

    My theory is that it's someone from the crew because they have access to their personal info, but I want to believe it's my girl Naya spilling that tea while she's on vacation with her friends. “Hacking” the cast by the pool and just chillin'

    Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to Film New Movie in Malta: Get the Details!

    Looks like Brangelina liked what they saw in Malta last month. Following their June 7 trip to the European country to scout locations for an upcoming movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have decided to go ahead with their plans there.

    "I'm happy that Hollywood producers have once again chosen Malta for their project, and we will be delighted to host Mr. Pitt, Ms. Jolie, and their family for the second time in just a few years," Prime Minister of Malta Joseph Muscat tells Us Weekly of the superstar couple and their six kids, who grew acquainted with the country when Pitt filmed World War Z there in 2011."I'm sure that this film will help put our beautiful sister island of Gozo on the world map," he adds.

    A source tells Us Weekly that the commission is a "very special" one for Malta. "They'll be filming in Mgarr ix-Xini Bay in Gozo," the insider says. "The whole family will be staying in Malta for eight weeks, arriving at the end of August."

    The project in question is "a love story," the source adds. Details are scarce, but it's believed to be the film that Jolie, 39, wrote. "It's not a big movie, it's not an action movie," the Maleficent star previously told Extra of the film, which would feature her and her fiance, 50, in their first onscreen reunion since Mr. & Mrs. Smith. "It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in," she added. "It's a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things."

    Big Brother Ignoring Gay Showmance

    0

    Reality show romances, otherwise known as showmances, are staples in the genre as a way to stir up drama, solidify alliances, and titillate viewers. But why is one of the juiciest and most fan-supported showmances on this season’s Big Brother happening off TV?

    Big Brother contestants Frankie Grande and Zach Rance have been getting more than cozy on the reality show’s 16th season, airing now on CBS. The two men are part of a strong alliance of mostly male contenders, but have also made a Final Two pact with each other. They’ve been spotted snuggling in beds, draped around each other, checking out each other’s backsides, and talking about masturbation and lubrication. There’s just one catch — all of this flirtation hasn’t made it to air.


    Big Brother runs 24/7 livestreams of house activities, and fans watch and analyze every move as they try to determine who will be evicted next. They also pick favorites (or pairs of favorites in this case). Fans have already dedicated blogs to the duo and are shipping the pair, even if the mainstream viewers have no clue there’s a potential showmance brewing between the two men.

    The lack of incorporation into the televised show is, of course, rubbing fans the wrong way. Big Brother doesn’t shy away from focusing on romances, and there’s more than enough footage of the duo getting cozy around the house and forming a pact to make a plot point. There’s even footage of another pair of contestants talking about the situation, and Zach, who hasn’t declared a sexuality on the show, apparently told one housemate that he wanted to sleep with Frankie (in coarser terms).


    That’s pretty juicy material ripe for inclusion on the main show. So what gives? Is Big Brother shying away from a gay showmance on air, or are they just saving it in hopes that things heat up later in the season between the two for a big reveal? Or do they just think the pair is bromantic instead of romantic and thus less interesting to the mainstream viewers? Regardless of motivation, fans are already frustrated that none of their canoodling is making the air.

    “The fact that they still haven’t given Zankie any airtime is infuriating tbh. Like they could totally use it as a big plot device this season, especially given Frankie Grande’s huge following on and off the show. And it’s not like they’d be short of any footage,” complained Tumblr user dehltreice.

    “It’s not even just the showmance. zack and frankie made a final two deal. that’s HUGE. if it was anyone else, i guarantee you they’d show it. so why not frankie and zack?,” said Tumblr user sansa-swifts. “Because it’s gay. the answer is because it’s gay.”


    The fervor for the pair might be more than just their handsy nature in front of the cameras. Frankie is a YouTube celebrity in his own right, and also the older half-brother of pop sensation Arianna Grande. She’s been tweeting her own fans directly about her brother’s involvement on the show and managing his social media while he’s locked away in the house. This has lead to adorable interactions with Zankie fans wanting to know Arianna’s opinion on the matter.

    Neymar was kneed in the back by Colombia defender Juan Camilo Zuniga in the second half of Brazil's 2-1 win, and was in tears when he was carried off the field on a stretcher.

    He was taken to a local clinic and team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said after the match that the star striker had broken his third vertebrae.

    Neymar is the Brazil's biggest star and has scored four goals for the team so far in the tournament.


    Brazil plays Germany in the semifinals on Tuesday.

    Did Megan Fox go "Valencia" or perhaps "Lo-Fi" for her first Instagram selfie? Unclear, but she did go au naturel!

    Well, partially. The 28-year-old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actress, known for her glamorous red carpet looks, joined the popular social network on Thursday, July 3, and shared a picture of her appearing fresh-faced, wearing a bathrobe.

    "First IG selfie. Early morning✔️no makeup ✔️filter✔️✔️," she said.

    Her Instagram username is @the_native_tiger and her bio is pretty spectacular.

    "Child of the Cherokee Tribe ... forest nymph ... Lunar Leo mother goddess to 2 bohemian revolutionaries-my kamikaze free spirit & my peaceful warrior," it says.

    Fox and husband Brian Austin Green share two sons—Noah, 1, and Bodhi, who was born this past February. The actress shared photos of the boys on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
