Lady Gaga Tipped to Play Harley Quinn In ‘Joker 2,’ Little Monsters Can’t Handle It
Lady Gaga is already a superhero, just ask any of her Little Monsters. If the “Poker Face” star does indeed come on board to play Harley Quinn in Joker 2, it would simply seal the deal. On Monday (June 13), The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Gaga was in early talks to play the ever-so-unhinged Quinn in a musical sequel to Joker, with Joaquin Phoenix in discussions on a return in the lead role.

Sources tell THR that “Warners has yet to close a deal with the actor, with the two sides deep int...

Post Malone Literally Shits Out His Music: “I Write All My Songs on the Can”
When it comes to using the toilet, going No. 2 is not Post Malone’s No. 1 priority. Discussing songwriting on The Howard Stern Show, Posty said, “Shit literally comes to me, because I write all my songs on the can.” As the pop star explained, the process “very much so” relaxes him, and he’ll, ahem, post up in the bathroom for an “hour-and-a-half, two hours,” at a time. The ritual leaves him feeling flush with ideas. “I’d say about 30% of all my albums have been written on the shitter,” he explained. “I’d say 60% of lyrics have been written on the shitter.” Advertisement Related Video But this behavior caused the program’s host to worry. “Are you pushing the whole time?” Stern wanted to know. “Because you really could get hemorrhoids, and I’m not making a joke.” He’s not wron...
