Wesley Snipes on the canceled 'BLADE':
"Of course it's Kevin [Feige's] biggest failure... I agree with Mahershala Ali. If I were him I'll say more than what he said. But he's a good kid."
BREAKING🚨 ABC refused to let eight Epstein survivors speak on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Rosie O'Donnell gathered them and filmed it herself — and the women told her no famous person had ever called to stand beside them. Now she says she will tell all eight of their stories, one by one.
O'Donnell guest-hosted four episodes in August and pitched what she called "the Epstein reveal" for her final night.
"They said that they were certain that could not happen," she said on the Jann Arden Podcast. "So I said, 'Well, then I'm going to do it myself.'"
She called Survivor Sisters, an advocacy group formed by Epstein survivors, and asked how many women could get there in three days. Eight came. They filmed for about two hours.
She first posted a short video from the shoot. Andrea Sterling, Sharlene Rochard, Lara Blume McGee, Jena-lisa Jones, Wendy Pesante, Lisa Phillips, Marina Lacerda and Chauntae Davies stood together in white, fists raised, singing Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman." It ended with childhood photos of the women. Jimmy Kimmel later shared it on his own Instagram Story.
Now O'Donnell says each woman will get her own up-close segment telling her story. The eight segments could become a full documentary, a YouTube project or something they release themselves on social media.
O'Donnell said she made the video after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer, said he did "not know whether there are men out there that abused these women." That same day, the Justice Department released more than 3 million additional pages from its Epstein files.
"You are all heroes, and you're going to change how the world deals with child sex abuse," O'Donnell told the women.
Afterward, she said, they told her no famous person had ever called to stand beside them.

A takeaway from Bobby Webster's presser in Toronto: Raptors clearly ready to take a big swing. In addition to Kawhi, Webster repeated that the team still has assets to make another move.
Despite the court order overnight, CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters are still being blocked from entering the White House grounds today. Yet for Xi’s visit, members of the Chinese state media are present.

Mahershala Ali says he thought winning two Oscars would finally change his career, but he still had to ask to be the lead on True Detective
Ali: “I’ve only had one project in seven years that has been a no brainer, and I haven’t got to do that one yet.”
“I thought especially after winning two... I was like, ‘It’s going to break now,’ you know? But I’m asking to be the lead on True Detective. I’m asking. It wasn’t, ‘Oh, here you go.’”
“There’s sort of a relief in the epiphany of like, ‘Oh, ain’t nobody coming to save you.’ You got to build your boat. They’re not coming. There ain’t no helicopter coming.”
Interviewer: “The golden ticket wasn’t ultimately a golden ticket.”
Ali: “Yeah. I mean, it was two cool statues.”
Vladdy Guerrero Jr on missing playoffs:
“I take (full) responsibility for this year. I gotta get better.. put up better numbers to help the team win.. keep working hard, preparing myself again, and be ready for next year.”
I heard Vlad Jr comments. You do get paid for what you have done up to that point BUT with the exception that that will continue with some natural ups and downs. I didn’t take his comments to mean he doesn’t care and doesn’t want to be better than he was this year. I just don’t think he articulated it very well. I think he battled a lot this year including being banged up, the pressure of living up to the contract, which is nearly impossible but I think with this year behind him, he will learn and be better because of it.
