ACTOR CALLS DENZEL WASHINGTON ‘CRUEL’


THE FACTS
Bronson Pinchot described his experiences working with Denzel Washington in a recent interview.

THE SPIN
Bronson Pinchot, known for his roles as Balki on the sitcom Perfect Strangers and work with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop movies, has spoken out against one of America’s most beloved actors.

Pinchot gave a lengthy interview to the AV Club in which he discussed his experiences working with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

On working with Denzel Washington in Courage Under Fire, Pinchot said:

“Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of “This is my character, not me.” He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience. I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it… The script supervisor on that movie said it’s like watching somebody kick a puppy. He was so vile.”

He also branded Tom Cruise as “homophobic” (insert snarky comment here) and Bette Midler as a “b-tch.”

How many of you are currently thinking, “You know, I hated Perfect Strangers anyway?”

JAY-Z & LARRY JOHNSON: BROMANCE OR ROMANCE?


THE FACTS
There’s a rumor that Kansas City chiefs running back Larry Johnson is gay, sparking speculation about his friendship with Jay-Z.

THE SPIN
In wishful thinking, go write a novel instead news, the rumor that gay-slur hurling, woman attacking football playing Larry Johnson is secretly into men – Beyonce’s man to be exact.

The blog, Gary With Da Tea claims:

We got a tip early this month from someone allegedly who works for Trump Tower:

I am writing you to ask a question. I work in the building Jay Z lives in Trump Tower and though him and Bee are together, I’ve never seen her in his building? But what’s strange to me……..I see Larry Johnson all the time in fact he lives with Jay-z. The other night they attended Cav & Nets games……..when did they become so close? and why is Larry living with Jay. I have some video footage from my phone of them together in the building. Is Jay gay?

Read this: The Chiefs have been talking to Johnson’s agent about a new deal, but the two sides still are far apart. A club source put the odds of Johnson holding out this summer at 50-50. Johnson, who owns a home in New York with rapper Jay-Z, showed up in Kansas City Sunday for the first time since the team began its voluntary workouts last month and has worked out with his teammates the last 2 days. He has indicated that he will attend the team’s postdraft minicamp in 2 weeks.

Now let’s look at the facts. I don’t know and don’t really care much if Larry Johnson is gay but here are just a few reasons that might provide some clues as to why folks have so many questions:

In addition to playing football . . . Larry Johnson is a male model - A profession so swishy that male ballerinas probably give them hassle (Note at least male ballerinas touch other women).

Speaking of facts, here’s one: Jay-Z doesn’t live in the Trump Tower. His apartment was in the Time Warner Building. It’s one of many properties – including those in the Tribeca and UES areas of New York.

Also, I read that Larry Johnson was living in Jay’s house in New Jersey, on his own while Jay was in the city.

Remember kids: Just because you remix a rumor doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more believable. This story is about as real as the “chicken” served at your local hood Chinese spot.

WHAT DO RAY J, JAY-Z AND WHITNEY HOUSTON HAVE IN COMMON?

 
THE FACTS
Blind item details rumor of a less recognizable star’s obsession with a wealthy, well known rapper.

THE SPIN
You know the drill. Blind item via Panache, guesses by you.

Here it goes:

This less than (lukewarm) but well known artist idolizes a super wealthy hip hop affiliated man from a distant.

He tries to keep his fascination with this man’s swagger a secret because he doesn’t want to be known as a mere follower but behind closed doors, he orders up the same girl his idol does when he’s not sexing with a well known female singer unprotected.

Allegedly, they go unprotected because they both have the same STD (non-fatal) makeup.

The follower copies everything his idol does [except] renting private jets because it’s out of his price range but he’s another one who loves to make it rain in strip clubs.

He’s also known to visit his Detroit girlfriend. He rents a penthouse, invites a crew over and when the party wears down, it turns into a freak festival.

In his mind, he has a lover man’s rep and he does a lot of this stuff to keep his name out there, he never met a camera he didn’t like although people snicker behind his back because he tries way too hard to be down and to be a ladies man.

Who is he?

Who is his idol?

Who is the woman he goes unprotected with?
