New trailer for ‘CHILDREN OF BLOOD & BONE’.
Starring Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Damson Idris, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Amandla Stenberg.
In theaters on January 15.
Most celebrities make fans nervous, but Michael Jackson operated on a level of fame that made other A list superstars forget how to act like normal human beings.
Archival footage and celebrity anecdotes reveal the chaotic, surreal reality of entering Jackson's orbit: Chris Tucker recalled trying to take Michael to a public movie theater disguised in an all-black ninja outfit, only for Jackson to sneak into the auditorium and end up laughing louder than anyone in the room.
Tucker tested Jackson's legendary generosity after being casually gifted a brand-new flat-screen TV just for complimenting it, but when Tucker boldly pointed at Jackson's luxury Rolls-Royce outside, Michael shut him down immediately, deadpanning that he was on his own for that one.
Comedians and athletes regularly found themselves disarmed by his presence. Steve Harvey recalled picking Jackson up for a quiet church service, only for Michael to spontaneously roll down the car window into an uncontrollable mob of fans tearing at his clothes, while Mike Tyson admitted he secretly held a bitter grudge after Jackson casually pretended not to recognize the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world backstage.
At major industry galas, Jackson's quiet dominance threw everyone off script: he once casually ordered Eddie Murphy to adjust his microphone mid-speech as if he were an assistant, while in private life his isolation was so severe that friends rented out an entire supermarket with paid actors just to let him experience pushing a grocery cart
🚨| WATCH: Serena Williams gave Speed a 6-0 HEAD START, meaning he only needed 2 more points to win but she went on to score 8 STRAIGHT POINTS without letting him score once 🤯😭🔥
At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?
To say @JoeBudden is so wishy washy when it comes to @kendricklamar now, it’s kind of eerie how he knew everything that was going to happen during the battle, he knows @Drake very well. I’m more convinced the only reason he started acting like @Drake had a pulse is because that lawsuit got him spooked. 👻
@Liberty_Laughs@texasholdup@xizacsc Im the type to bring America to you
Shut the fuck up🖕🏾
Fear is universal. If I was in the room too, im making as much noise as I want and his room getting broken into when he walks back to it🚮🔫🇺🇸
I walk around MADDER than him. He lucky he hasnt crossed the right American yet
@whoJuanSmoke@RivalsAssembled Yeah thats annoying too. Not mad at whoever still plays it but I dont like how people can just leave/sell and a solid ai bot, like the ones you can simulate in the training room, dont take over like 2K online. You just get jumped and more than likely lose.
