Will Smith Takes the NFL Head On in New Movie “Concussion”

Looks like Will Smith may be taking the NFL head on, literally.

The trailer for the new movie Concussion has been released, and Will Smith is playing the main role. If you read the GQ article “Game Brain” (by Jeanne Marie Laskas) back in 2009, this story will sound familiar to you.

Directed by Peter Landesman, the film is based on the true story of the Nigerian-born forensic neuropathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu (played by Will Smith).

Dr. Bennet Omalu? WHOOO-DEE-WHOOOO?

Oh ya know, just the first Doctor to discover and prove that repeated head trauma can cause a neuro-degenerative disease, called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can lead to death.  

Yes, Dr. Omalu made his discovery after performing an autopsy on Mike Webster, the former Pittsburgh Steeler. Furthermore, he backed his discovery case after examining the brains of other NFL stars, including Terry Long, Andre Waters and Dave Duerson.

As if making the discovery wasn’t enough, Dr. Omalu had to fight to tell this new truth and make it known. And, well, the NFL wasn’t going to surrender to that fight easily.

As seen in the trailer, while Dr. Omalu is fighting for the truth, he is told, “You’re going to war with a corporation that owns a day of the week.” In fact, the NFL would continue to deny the connection, try to discredit him, accuse him of “fraud,” and even try to silence him.

This had all gone the exact opposite way that Dr. Omalu had predicted. Dr. Omalu said initially…

 “So I was excited. I thought the football industry would be happy with our new discovery. I thought naively that discovery of new information, unraveling new information, redefining concepts, I thought the football industry would embrace it — again, about my business experience — utilize it, turn it into some type of utility, some type of utility function to enhance the game. […] That was what I thought in my naive state of mind. But unfortunately I was proven wrong, that it wasn’t meant to be that way.”

Think about that for a second…

On top of all this, there is email proof that Sony altered the film to make sure it did not displease the NFL or cause protest. Seriously?! TELL THE TRUTH!

The movie will be hitting theaters on December 25, Christmas and, oh wait, smack dab before the NFL playoffs.

DROP THE MIC.

Baywatch is BACK & You Won’t Believe the New Cast! (Cue the Slow Motion Running)

In the words of Juvenile, MOVE IT SLOW MOTION FOR ME because that’s right- Baywatch is back. babes, bikini’s, beaches and a lot of slow motion running is coming back to the big screen. And why wouldn’t TCD be all about it?

As far as the babes, Zac Efron and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson have committed to the remake film that is expected to start shooting at the beginning of 2016.  THE ROCK? ZAC EFRON? I know try not to faint…

Let’s just say that it’s highly possible that around filming time I may have a near death drowning experience where I need a lifeguard to save me. And somehow I feel like I won’t be alone?

Efron told Reuters,

“It’s going to be R-rated and it’s going to be badass.” Efron went on to say, ”I think we’re going like pretty big with it and I don’t think it’s going to be much like the old Baywatch to be honest. I think we’re going to kind of reinvent it in a big way, and he [Johnson] has big plans for it. I know he’s very ambitious.”

Johnson shared his excitement on Instagram with an oh-so glorious picture of the two wearing their bare-skin washboard abs.

Not to mention that he left us hanging on a real cliff hanger in his caption:

“[…] and one more thing.. just wait ’til you see who we cast for our girls…”

OH EM GEE – WHO IS GOING TO BE OUR NEW PAMELA ANDERSON?

Apparently, Pam isn’t too thrilled on the remake idea. When asked about the new movie, she has commented “no one appreciates the remakes.” She believes that there ’90s were a “simpler, sweeter time” for television, and that the remake won’t work in today’s modern day and era.

Maybe Pam is a little bitter since she didn’t get asked to be a part of the remake. Perhaps she is scared someone will top her original performance?

Guess we’ll just have to find out for ourselves who will be the new BAE of Baywatch….

Until then, I’ll be the swimmer who cried wolf. HELP Mr. Lifeguards! Save me! Mouth to mouth resuscitation!

A New App for You Peeps to Download: SWEEBLE

As we all know, social media just continues to keep growing and growing, and guess what? We got another app hitting the scene that you should probably download as well.

Hello SWEEBLE!

This app, seen by the cute little blue jellyfish, is similar to instagram in the fact it is a photo and video sharing app, however it works a little differently. On Sweeble, you can like things just as you would on instagram, but the way you do so is represented by the amount of time you hold down on the photo.

So if you hold down on say, Johnny Appleseed’s photo for 10 seconds vs. one second the heart will grow to be much bigger, therefore making your like worth something greater. You know on Facebook when we like something and we’re like I wish I could like this 10 times, Well, that’s the idea here.

You can like something more than what you’re limited to on other profiles. Just make sure you get as much liking as you want when you first like a post, because once you’ve liked it for however amount of time, you’ve already liked it.

Just like other social media outlets, on Sweeble you can follow your friends or total randos including that blonde babe you secretly stalk and accidentally like 150 week old photos of. Yeah, she and her brunette babe buddy are on there too.

For all you serial-posters, you’ll like the fact that the casualness of posts on Sweeble falls somewhere in between Snapchat and Instagram, so post away! There’s no judgments on here for posting more than once a day.

So why should you download Sweeble over these other up and comers in the social media world? Let’s ask the President Jason Zucari himself…

“Time is our most valuable resource, and why not use that as a metric to show how much you like your friends and families posts. For the first time on social media we can truly measure the degree of how much we actually like our social content, vs. a single binary “like”.” – Jason Zuccari, Sweeble President & Co-Founder.

Not to mention Sweeble throws some dope AF parties!

Don’t believe me? Just watch!

Check out the BTS look TCD got when we covered the Sweeble and Arsenic Magazine party in the Hollywood Hills last week. Straight fire.

Side note, have you seen Arsenic Magazine’s Snapchat story lately? UHM, let’s just say it’s HOT, HOT, HOT!

Definitely a follow decision you won’t regret. Well, unless you hate babes and boobs and are a communist.

Back to Sweeble!

The meaning of the jelly you ask?

“There is a type of jellyfish called Turritopsis Dorhrnii which is immortal. The liking system on Sweeble is based on how long you touch something. And similar to a jellyfish, the longer you touch or hold down on Sweeble the ore intense of a like it is. And if people aren’t liking your sh*t on Sweeble, people say why you jelly?” – Barrett Barnes, Sweeble CMO.

So why so jelly betches?!

Go download Sweeble and find the TCD girls on there! Give a girl some time and show some love! 😉

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon & Warner Bros Are Taking the FIFA Scandal to Hollywood

After the embarrassment of the FIFA scandal, Sepp Blatter’s resignation and the largest soccer drama of the summer, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Warner Brothers have acquired the rights to go Hollywood and bring the downfall of the group to the big screen.

The dynamic duo will produce the film and Gavin O’Connor will direct. Buzzfeed investigative reporter, Ken Bensinger, bases the movie off the book “Houses of Deceit.” The FIFA organization released a film of their own, “United Passions” which is now the lowest grossing film in U.S. history. Ouch.

The sleazy story that will be told will include bribery, corruption and the rise and popularity of American soccer. Chuck Blazer, a higher level FIFA executive, admitted to multiple charges of tax evasion and money laundering in 2013 and then went to work undercover for the FBI.

This great news, however, comes at a bad time for Affleck, who has just announced a day after his tenth wedding anniversary with Jennifer Garner that the two will be splitting up and getting a divorce.

“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple told People in a joint statement. “We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”

Sorry to hear about the split Ben and Jenn, but on another note, TCD is looking forward to this FIFA drama to hit the big screen!

IDFWU! Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick’s Relationship Is So Last Season

Photo: Scott Disick Instagram

It’s official: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have broken up. Nine years and three babies later, the couple split on the fourth of July weekend.

Honestly, it’s about time.

Photo: Scott Disick Instagram

Sorry Scott, really do love ya and think you’re absolutely hilarious, but Kourt needs more. Like more time, more maturity, more effort, MORE EVERYTHING FOR GOSH SAKE.

Whoever wants to defend Scott- GET REAL and GET OUT.

Three babies later and Kourtney still continuously deals with his alcohol and partying issues, ups and downs. Like, GROW UP. One would think that he learned to “grow up” before three babies, am I right? Can I get an AMEN?

The last straw, you ask? Scott hanging out with his ex, Chloe Bartoli, in Monaco. Wait, not just hanging. There were several pictures released of Scott and Chloe playfully touching each other, laying with each other and even feeding each other.

UHMMMM GTFO. I mean, any person pictured with an ex in any of those fashions is asking for it. Plain and simple.  And guys wonder why girls go crazy…

The cherry on top of the last straw (as if there needed to be more)- According to a source on E, “Scott has been running around saying he’s single.”

First of all, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! We all know who you are and if we wanted to find out your marital status I’m sure we could just ask Siri to prove you wrong.

Regardless, it’s obvious that Kourtney is fed up and has put up with his BS for far too long.

Kourtney made it back on to Instagram on Tuesday, since the breakup over the weekend. Her first post back: a picture of her getting her endorphins on with sisters Khloe and Kim.

YOU GO GIRL. WORK IT OUT, KICK SOME ASS AND SHOW ‘EM WHO’S BOSS!

Her next two posts happened to be a picture of her, Khloe, and Kim having a fun dinner at Casa Escobar in Los Angeles.

All white everything and looking oh so bossy.

Khloe also posted the same picture, using Big Sean’s hit song and break up anthem as the caption: “IDFWU!!!!!”  For those that don’t understand the abbreviation of letters, try “I Don’t F**k With You”.

Sending a message? I think so.

Looks like Queen K doesn’t need a “Lord” to rule her tower anymore. Buh-bye Scott!

Bend it Like Rihanna- Bad Gal Spotted with Karim Benzema

Bad gal Riri has a new beau!

We’ve been over Chris Brown for a while now and even his rebound gal Karrueche is over him too.

And obviously we know our RiRi has been playing up the field since, and thank God for that! Her latest subject you ask?

Professional soccer player Karim Benzema and Rihanna were spotted at the Hooray Henry’s nightclub in West Hollywood. And who do you think they just missed? Yep, C-breezy.

The power couple has been spotted out together on several occasions from romantic dinners to a Fetty Wap performance (relationship goals) and although the relationship has not been confirmed, the pictures of them say it all.

Furthermore, things may be moving fast for the two as it seems Karim has already met Riri’s family!

Oh la la, you go Bad Gal! We all know Chris Brown has moves, but then again soccer players do too. We see you Rihanna! 😉
