  • NIKKI FINKE DEAD

    NIKKI FINKE DEAD

    TINSELTOWN, FOR ALL ITS MIGHT, OFTEN SUCCUMBED TO THE INFORMATION THAT NIKKE FINKE KNEW AND REPORTED..

    The site she founded, DEADLINE, was a must go..

    She often reminded me of the real life version of Gale Weathers, the news reporter from SCREAM.

    She was there for most gossipy of gossips.. the most scandalous of scandals. Drudge linked to her often and gave her a siren or two..

    Finke was hated as much as she was appreciated. And few that followed her even liked her! She was just pleasant type of person. 🙂

    As one reporter for the LA TIMES described her in 2014, stating that people should not fat shame her:

    When I do read her, I see that she can be nasty, abrasive and vindictive. I see that she trumpets “exclusives” that are no such thing. She is a prolific name-caller, a practice that is beneath the dignity of such a talented writer. She is not snarky, the way Perez Hilton was before he got nice. She is frankly bilious.


    Now she has passed away from the grip of this planet..

    Nikki Finke dead.

    Hollywood probably relieved ..

    This is how the AP reported it:

    Veteran journalist Nikki Finke, who founded the entertainment trade site Deadline and who in her heyday was an elbows-out columnist serving up juicy industry scoops and gossip skewering Hollywood’s elite, has died at age 68.

    According to a family representative, Finke died Sunday morning in Boca Raton, Fla., after a prolonged illness.

    Finke was revered and feared in the industry for exposing secrets, first through her L.A. Weekly column, Deadline Hollywood, which she eventually built into a website.

    She founded Deadline Hollywood Daily in 2006 on a Friday and quickly began building her audience by live-blogging the 78th Academy Awards that Sunday. T

    he site was largely a one-woman operation until 2009, when Penske Media Corp. acquired it and hired Finke as editor in chief..

    Not that Hollywood elites are prone to vicious or dark thoughts, *wink wink,* but we are sure that many are breathing a collective sigh of relief ..

    For as many times Nikki Finke gave us a juicy celeb tidbit, she probably took two to the grave with her..

    May she rest in peace..

  • The sad decline of Bruce Willis

    The sad decline of Bruce Willis

    A few weeks ago we reported on circulating rumors that Bruce Willis was going to give up acting due to cognitive decline..

    That sadly now has become true..

    And it was almost getting dangerous according to some reporting.

    Bruce Willis, who is stepping away from acting amid cognitive difficulties caused by aphasia, alarmed movie staffers two years ago when he misfired a gun loaded with a blank — and last year perplexingly asked what he was doing on a film set, according to a report.

    The 67-year-old “Die Hard” star, whose family announced Wednesday he had received the brain disorder diagnosis, had been exhibiting signs of decline on set in recent years, nearly two dozen sources concerned about his well-being told the Los Angeles Times.

  • The Meg: Mila Kunis used to say she was from Russia until Russia invaded Ukraine

    The Meg: Mila Kunis used to say she was from Russia until Russia invaded Ukraine

    Top star and voice of MEG from FAMILY GUY is noted in a new Yahoo Entertainment story as historically saying she was from Russia.

    All of that changed when Vlad the Impaler ordered the invasion of Ukraine..

    So why did she change the ancestry story?

    Kunis explained the reason to Maria Shriver.

    “I was born in Ukraine. I came to the States in 1991 and we were the last of my family to migrate,” Kunis explains, adding that she was about 8 years old at the time. “I very much have always felt like an American,” she continued, saying that growing up, “People were like, ‘Oh, you’re so Eastern European.’ I was like, ‘I’m so LA!’ What do you mean? Like, my whole life I was like ‘I am LA through and through.’” “[Russia’s invasion] happens and I can’t express or explain what came over me, but all of a sudden I was like, ‘Oh my God, I feel like a part of my heart just got ripped out,’” she explained. “It was the weirdest feeling.”

    She now says:

    “It’s been irrelevant to me that I come from Ukraine. It never mattered,” she explained of her upbringing. “So much so that I’ve always said I’m Russian. Like I’ve always been, ‘I’m from Russia’ for a multitude of reasons. One of them being when I came to the States and I would tell people I’m from from Ukraine, the first question I’d get was ‘Where is Ukraine?’ And then I’d have to explain Ukraine and where it is on the map… But if I was like, ‘I’m from Russia’ people were like, ‘Oh we know that country.’ So I was like great I’ll just tell people from Russia.” “Hell no! I’m from Ukraine. Everything’s changed,” she says now. “It is a sense of pride, and it’s not taking away from loving where I live now and everything that this country has given me.”
