Ezra Miller Filmed New Scenes for The Flash After Arrests, Grooming Allegations: Report
Even as Warner Bros. Discovery tried to cool down spending, the newly merged media titan was shoveling more money onto human dumpster fire Ezra Miller. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the star of The Flash was called into “regularly scheduled additional photography over the summer, apparently without incident, before being charged with burglary — their third arrest this year — on Aug. 7 in Vermont.” This report suggests that WBD continued investing in Miller after their first and second arrests in Hawaii, while aware of allegations of grooming against the troubled star.

In the teaser trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film Bones and All, Timothée Chalamet’s character asks his love interest whether she thinks he’s a bad person. The answer really depends on what you think of cannibals.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: STRINGER / Getty After months of ducking and dodging New York Attorney General Letitia James and her team of lawyers as part of a three-year investigation into his shady business practices, Donald Trump was finally deposed early this morning and sho’nuff, he pleaded the fifth. According to CNN the man who years ago called out his political opponents by saying “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the fifth Amendment?” once again found out that karma is a b*tch when he did the same exact thing as investigators began asking him questions about whether or not his Trump Organization misled lenders, insurers and tax authorities by providing them misleading financial statements. Naturally the man who has lied more than any President in American history knew h...

You Sure?: Iggy Azalea Announces Her Return To The Music Game
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gary Gershoff / Getty Just when you thought you’d never have to hear from Iggy Azalea again, the controversial Atlanta “rapper” has announced she is no longer retired and ready to make the comeback that no one asked for (no shots). A year after saying she was walking away from her music career to pursue other career opportunities, Iggy took to Twitter yesterday to announce that she only took a step back from music because of the “negative energy” she got from the culture, “But what I’ve learned is that even when I’m minding my business, y’all gonna be negative AND nosey. So if I can’t have peace, neither can you. I’m coming back. Cry about it.” We guess she realized that there wasn’t too many lucrative opportunities for her out there like that. Though she...

“We Are the Dork Side That Prevent People From Going to the Dark Side”: How Shambhala Is Pioneering Harm Reduction at Music Festivals
Between 1964 and 1975, an estimated 40,000 Americans crossed the border illegally into Canada, mostly to dodge the threat of being drafted to the military and the fear of combat in the Vietnam war. Some came due to the threat of imprisonment as President Nixon declared the “war on drugs” and addressed drug use as “public enemy #1.” A significant portion of these “draft dodgers” came to find a new home and Canadian diaspora in the Kootenay region of British Columbia and the central hub in the town of Nelson, per BC: An Untold History. The historic past and culture of challenging the definition of war and reducing harm is still very much alive in the Kootenay region. Shambhala Music Festival’s harm reduction culture and programs are a timely testament. EDM...
