Ryan Reynolds Backs LeVar Burton as New Jeopardy! Host

The actor cryptically addressed the Reading Rainbow icon’s campaign to helm the game show on Twitter by comparing the situation to his role as Deadpool. “Pretty consistently from 2013 to 2015 Deadpool would explode on Twitter with fans wanting me to play him.

Kanye West Deletes Instagram Posts Except for Single Image of His Childhood Home
Kanye West scrubbed his entire Instagram page on Friday, leaving only a singular image of his childhood home. The home, located in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, was posted without caption or comment. According to Chicago’s WGN9, the home was purchased in the early 1980s and was sold by Kanye’s mother, Donda West, in 2004. Real estate reporter Dennis Rodkin wrote in April 2020 that the home “went through a lot of trouble after that,” facing forclosure before being bought by artist and Chicago activist Rhymefest in 2016. Rhymefest wrote in 2016 that he intended to turn the space into a community arts incubator, building out a “state of the art recording studio, a curriculum space for @dondashouse and southside music museum.” But those plans never materialized, with Rhymefest ...
