This camera, this camera, this camera – tell the people what you have going on! First We Feast’s Hot Ones has become a pop culture phenomenon, but one thing it doesn’t have going for it is The Rock. Hot Ones has well over 300 episodes at this point but one of the most high-profile guests they haven’t been able to land is Dwayne Johnson…and it comes down to one specific request.

As host Sean Evans told Bloomberg, a mixture of demands and things cooling off have kept Dwayne Johnson out of the hot seat. “We’ve been pitching [The Rock] obviously for years and one time I got a note back that was like, ‘would you be willing to do, instead of wings, grilled salmon strips?’ And in my head I was like, that had to come from his mouth … that’s as close as we’ve gotten. And then it fell through.”

While plenty of Hot Ones guests have gone with vegan chicken wings, like Natalie Portman, Paul Rudd and “Weird Al” Yankovic, that Johnson requested something completely out of the realm of one of the show’s key hooks puts him in a field of his own. While having Johnson on the show would no doubt result in a cool interview – and we’d love to see him suffer a bit during The Last Dab – it just wouldn’t be the same without chicken wings. And considering his diet would absolutely include that form of protein, it stands as a pretty odd request.

Hot Ones launched nearly a decade ago in March 2015 but has picked up a lot of steam over the past few years. Such an internet powerhouse it has become that Netflix has reportedly been in talks to have Sean Evans host a number of live episodes. Hey, if they’re showcasing hot dog-eating contests, why not some conversation over hot wings?

Recent Hot Ones guests include Vince Vaughn, Ariana Grande, SZA, Heidi Klum, and even Donald Duck, invited on as part of the cartoon’s 90th anniversary.

What are your thoughts on Dwayne Johnson’s demands in order to appear on Hot Ones? Should the show relent or stand their ground?

The case against Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to astonish as lawsuits from 120 accusers intend to bring claims against the music industry mogul related to sexual assault, sex trafficking, and more. Today, Tony Buzbee, a lawyer for the accusers, said he represents 120 men and women who accuse Combs of sex-related crimes dating back to 1991. Several of those raising complaints about Combs were underage at the time they say the alleged incidents took place. Among the complaints, some say they were drugged and raped while in Combs’ company.

The situation worsens for Combs and his associates as more complaints emerge. Buzbee revealed that companies and associates aware of or profited from ignoring Combs’ alleged actions will come to light in the litigation. It’s been suspected that Combs did not act alone in the crimes he’s accused of, and soon, the public could learn dark truths about people who traveled in Combs’ inner circle. Among those expected to be named are Bad Boy Entertainment and its president, Harve Pierre, Universal Music Group, and Epic Records.

Combs is already facing 20 years in jail if found guilty of the crimes brought to authorities in mid-September. After Diddy’s lawyers proposed a bail of $50 million for the rapper’s release, the request was denied. With 120 new accusers telling their stories, the “All About the Benjamins” rapper could face even more jail time.

The lawyers said the accusers, equally split between men and women, are located in 25 states, with the majority residing in California, New York, Georgia, and Florida. “Some of this behavior occurred at well-known venues,” and at the “private residences of people we all know,” Buzbee added.

Disgustingly, the age of some victims is a growing concern, as the youngest accuser was nine years old, while another was 14 when they say the crimes occurred. According to Buzbee, 25 of the 120 accusers say they were minors when in Combs’ circle. Buzbee adds that the lawsuits range from claims of sexual assault to facilitated sex with a controlled substance, false imprisonment, compelling prostitution, dissemination of pornographic materials, and sexual abuse of minors.

Federal authorities arrested Combs at a New York City hotel after he was formally charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. On Monday, September 16, Attorney Damian Williams unsealed the indictment against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which read:

“For decades, SEAN COMBS, a/k/a “Puff Daddy,” a/k/a “P. Diddy,” a/k/a “Diddy,” a/k/a “PD,” a/k/a “Love,” the defendant, abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct,” reads the unsealed indictment.

“To do so, COMBS relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled–creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice,” the filing from the U.S. Attorney Damian Williams’ office adds.

Sean Combs has entered a “Not Guilty” plea regarding the charges against him and has called the raid on his property a “witch hunt.”

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to director Tim Burton’s 1988 classic Beetlejuice (watch it HERE), reached theatres on September 6th (you can read our review at THIS LINK), and over the last three and half weeks the movie has managed to rack up almost $375 million at the global box office. Now it’s just about time for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to come home, as Deadline reports that Warner Bros. will giving it a PVOD and digital release on October 8th. It will be available for purchase or rental on Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Fandango at Home, and more on that date. The 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD physical media release will follow on November 19th.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was in development hell for decades before it finally got made. In 1990, Jonathan Gems was hired to write a sequel that was going to be titled Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. Burton considered having Daniel Waters rewrite that script, Pamela Norris did rewrite it, and Warner Bros. offered Kevin Smith the chance to do another rewrite. He turned it down. Seth Grahame-Smith was hired to write and produce a new version of a sequel in 2011. Mike Vukadinovich was brought on to rewrite his script in 2017.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, co-creators and co-showrunners of Wednesday, have written the screenplay for Beetlejuice 2 that was actually filmed. Brad Pitt’s Plan B is producing the sequel, which filmed in London before moving to Vermont and Massachusetts.

Here’s the official synopsis: Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

Michael Keaton is back as Beetlejuice and is joined in the cast by Winona Ryder, reprising the role of Lydia Deetz (now the host of a TV series called Ghost House with Lydia Deetz); Catherine O’Hara, back as Lydia’s stepmother Delia; Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter Astrid, Justin Theroux as Lydia’s boyfriend Rory,  Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s ex-wife, and Willem Dafoe as a law enforcement officer in the afterlife. Arthur Conti is also in there, as a character named Jeremy Frazier.

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice physical media release is expected have the following bonus features: – Commentary by director Tim Burton – The Juice is Loose! The Making of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – The Ghost with the Most: Beetlejuice Returns – Meet the Deetz – Handbook for the Recently Deceased – Shrinkers, Shrinkers Everywhere! – An Animated Afterlife: The Stop-Motion Art of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – ‘Til Death Do Us Park

I just finished Yakuza 0 last week, and I can safely say that it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. If you’ve ever wanted a game with far too many things to do, all of which are equally zany and good-natured, then this is the game for you. I’ve also got more than an inkling that it’ll be quintessential to…
