POST MALONE’S NEW FRENCH WINE IN HIGH DEMAND – (06/25/2020)

Post Malone’s new line of French wine is a hit. He officially released his own rosé, Maison No. 9, and it’s already in high demand … selling over 50,000 bottles in 2 days during its pre-sale, wiping out the first round of inventory. According to TMZ, Vivino, the sales platform, crashed on the first morning of the pre-sale because it couldn’t handle the flood of orders.

The rosé sells for $21.99 a bottle and it’s named after Post Malone’s favorite tarot card, the Nine of Swords. Wine.com rated it a 90 overall. Once it’s restocked, it will be available online Monday in almost all states.

TERRY CREWS SAYS ‘BROOKLYN NINE-NINE HAD TO START OVER AFTER GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH – (06/25/2020)

Following George Floyd’s death at the hands of police, cops shows have been under the microscope. Cops itself was canceled, and many wondered how NBC’s hit sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine would address the Black Lives Movement.

Fans got an idea, when star Terry Crews revealed that several scripts had to be completely tossed and season 8 essentially restarted. He said that showrunner Dan Goor “had four [new] episodes all ready to go and they just threw them in the trash. We have to start over. Right now we don’t know which direction it’s going to go in.”

Crews added that the cast has had “a lot of somber talks about it and deep conversations and we hope through this we’re going to make something that will be truly groundbreaking this year. We have an opportunity here, and we plan to use it in the best way possible.”

He dubbed  the death of George Floyd “Black America’s #MeToo movement.”

“We always knew this was happening,” he said, “but now, white people are understanding.”

The Golden Globe-winning show also stars Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Andre Braugher and Melissa Fumero.

JENNIFER ANISTON TALKS ESCAPING ‘FRIENDS’ CURSE – (06/25/2020)

STATIONS: Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive to your audience.

All actors want a hit, but according to Jennifer Aniston, there’s definitely such a thing as too much success. In a roundtable talk with The Hollywood Reporter, she opened up about breaking free from Rachel Green’s shadow. She said: “I could not get Rachel Green off of my back for the life of me. I could not escape Rachel from Friends, just Rachel from Friends, it’s on all the time and you’re just like, ‘Stop playing this f**king show.’ I completely just fought with myself and who I was in this industry forever because it was just constantly about trying to prove I was more than that.”

She said that 2002’s The Good Girl helped. “The Good Girl was the first time I got to really shed whatever the Rachel character was, and to be able to disappear into someone who wasn’t, that was such a relief to me,” she recalled. “But I remember the panic that set over me, thinking, ‘Oh God, I don’t know if I can do this. Maybe they’re right. Maybe everybody else is seeing something I’m not seeing, which is you are only that girl in the New York apartment with the purple walls.’ So, I was almost doing it for myself just to see if I could do something other than that. And it was terrifying because you’re doing it in front of the world.”

RIHANNA, ARIANA GRANDE AND MORE SIGN OPEN LETTER REQUESTING POLICE REFORM – (06/24/2020)

Rihanna, along with celebs like Robert Deniro, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Meek Mill and more have signed an open letter in support of the U. S. House of Representatives’ Justice in Policing Act of 2020. The letter, which was addressed to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ends by asking that they vote “Yes” on the pending legislation.

It says, “The Justice in Policing Act is not about marginal change; it takes bold steps that will make a real, positive difference for law enforcement and the communities they serve. We celebrate the long-overdue rejection of qualified immunity, emphasizing that law enforcement officers themselves are not above the law –that bad cops must be held accountable and victims must have recourse. We applaud the provisions to ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, to establish a national police misconduct registry, to collect data and improve investigations into police misconduct, to promote de-escalation practices, to establish comprehensive training programs, and to update and enhance standards and practices.”

The letter continued, “This legislation will not only promote justice; it will establish a culture of responsibility, fairness, and respect deserving of the badge. Our communities and nation look to you to take a stand in this extraordinary moment and  we respectfully ask that you vote YES on the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.”

BTS also donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter earlier this month.

As for the video for her current single, “Daisies,” She said, “I think I’ll look back at it in 10 years and go, ‘Oh I gave myself a little gift to let my guard down and kind of be vulnerable and naturalistic, cause I’m not that — I love  glam. I love more is more. I’m a crow, I’m attracted to the shiny objects and the big things, you know?”

COLE SPROUSE AND LILI REINHART DENY SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS – (06/23/2020)

STATIONS: Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive to your audience.

Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart are responding to allegations that they and two other members of the Riverdale cast are guilty of sexual assault or harassment. 

Sprouse tweeted late Sunday: “Earlier today myself and three other cast mates were falsely accused of sexual offense by anonymous accounts on twitter. I take these accusations very seriously, and will be working with the right teams to get to the root of it.”

“False accusations do tremendous damage to victims of actual assault. Furthermore, I would never seek to silence anybody,” the Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum continued. “I encourage that people look into the accusations themselves, as the events detailed were factually untrue. This seems to be the latest claim in a series of incidents seeking to baselessly cancel my cast mates and me.”

Reinhart then quoted his tweet and added: “I have always taken sexual assault allegations seriously. But it was proven that this account was created specifically to create false stories about me and my cast. I can’t think of something more twisted than lying about sexual assault. It invalidates the men and women who are brave enough to come forward with the truth. This kind of lie can ruin lives and careers- and I can call it a lie because the person who made the allegations already admitted that the stories were fabricated.”

She continued: “We are looking into taking legal action. This kind of sick behavior only harms true survivors. This was incredibly triggering for me and scary because I’ve always supported survivors and believed them. I hope and pray that this does not discourage real survivors from speaking out about their experiences.”

The accusations were issued by an account with the handle @Victori66680029. Sprouse was accused of assault at a 2013 party, and similar allegations of misconduct were then issued against his costars Vanessa Morgan and KJ Apa on other anonymous Twitter accounts. 

Reinhart’s accuser, @Tasha93948576 later tweeted: “Do you see how easy it is lie and you guys will believe it? Vanessa Morgan and Kj Apa didn’t do jack s—t. You will believe anything.” The account has since been deleted.

This comes after allegations of sexual assault against Ansel Elgort and Justin Bieber emerged on Twitter; both celebs denied the accusations.

BILLIE EILISH GETS RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST STALKER EXTENDED FOR THREE YEARS – (06/23/2020)

Billie Eilish and her family got a judge to extend a restraining order against a stalker for three more years.

The man, 24-year-old Prenell Rousseau, showed up repeatedly at the Eilish family’s Los Angeles home over two days in early May and displayed what was described as “erratic behavior.” He is now barred from attempting to contact or coming within 100 yards of Eilish or her parents, or from coming near Eilish’s workplaces.

Eilish, her attorney and her parents phoned in to last week’s hearing, held in a courtroom that was empty except for a reporter from the Associated Press and court staff because of coronavirus restrictions. All including the judge wore face masks. Eilish did not speak.

Neither Rousseau nor an attorney for him appeared at the hearing, and messages left by Billboard with possible relatives of the man were not returned.

Rousseau allegedly tried to gain access to the Eilish home, rang the doorbell, spoke to Eilish’s father and security guards, and even took a nap by an outer wall. He did not practice coronavirus-appropriate physical distancing, nor did he wear protective gear properly while speaking to staff. He also refused to leave when asked.

Nicki responded to her fans, saying, “no words yet. All I can muster up is the ‘I love you’. Gimme a sec.”

She later told the barbs in a video, “Congratulations, Barbs. Y’all did this with no playlisting and no radio and it’s just not happening in 2020. All the records on the top of the chart right now are doing that with heavy playlisting and radio so for us to do that, debuting, that’s insane. So I love you guys so much. We just did the highest pure sales of the year of every song released. You can’t buy that. That’s fan love.”

Nicki added, “It’s a couple of things I want to get off my chest. There are certain things that have been going on in this industry for just way too long. I think it’s time for me to speak on it, a little bit. But in the meantime, and y’all know 6ix9ine going to be doing a lot this week. So, be prepared for that. I love you.” -Nicki Minaj’s Twitter
