Megan Fox is finally addressing the Love Is Blind controversy involving Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell. After Blackwell told then-boyfriend Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger, Blackwell received a barrage of hate from online critics about the comparison. Fox is now stepping up and defending Blackwell. “I didn’t watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied,” Fox told E! News. “I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard. I did see a picture of her. A hundred thousand percent, people have told her, ‘You kind of look like Megan Fox.'” She added, “I believe she’s telling the truth and I hope like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal it from her. Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years. So I hope that didn’t happen to her.

Megan Fox finally weighed in on the “Love Is Blind” controversy that erupted earlier this year when Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell told her eventual fiancé Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger. Presnell ended up telling Blackwell that wasn’t true, while “Love Is Blind” viewers bombarded social media platforms to roast and mock Blackwell for a comparison many thought wasn’t accurate.
“I’ve never had more people text me about something,” Fox told E! News’ “The Rundown.” “I don’t really watch TV very much. But I’ve had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, ‘Do you watch “Love is Blind”?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you’re talking about.'”

Love Is Blind returned for its sixth season on Wednesday, February 14, and already one contestant is feeling the heat after comparing herself to a former FHM Sexiest Woman in the World. Chelsea Blackwell, a 31-year-old flight attendant and events planner from Charlotte, North Carolina, is one of the contestants looking for love on the latest season of the hit Netflix dating series. However, she immediately caused a stir when she told a potential suitor that people say she looks like Megan Fox. “Don’t worry I’ll never say that s*** again,” Blackwell said on her Instagram page following the release of the first six episodes. In fairness to Blackwell, she actually said she doesn’t see the resemblance to the Transformers star. Still, bringing up the comparison at all was always going to lead to trouble, especially in a show where the dating couples don’t get to see...

The Magic Kingdom is getting its magic back, and Wall Street is elated. Disney’s latest quarterly earnings report is in, along with color from CEO Bob Iger and his team on a new sports streaming joint venture with Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery, plus news of a $1.5 billion investment in Fortnite parent Epic Games and the fall 2025 launch date for an ESPN stand-alone streaming service.
So, Wall Street analysts had much to digest overnight, but most came away with optimism and increased stock price targets for Disney. In pre-market trading on Thursday, Disney shares were up more than 7 percent above $106.
The upbeat reaction will help Iger as he is facing a proxy fight in early April with activist investors Nelson Peltz, whose Trian Partners is a big Disney investor, and Jason Aintabi’s Blackwells.

Unionized ‘Ridiculousness’ Staffers Leaflet Production In Effort to Start Negotiating First Contract
Early on Friday morning, 10 unionized creative consultants on the MTV comedy show Ridiculousness distributed leaflets at the show’s production location in Van Nuys in an effort to start negotiating a first contract.
The staffers unionized with the Writers Guild of America West after a National Labor Relations Board vote in September, but according to the WGA West, the production has yet to respond to their attempts to begin negotiating a contract. “We are fighting for a fair contract with improved compensation and benefits for the 336 episodes of Ridiculousness we help to create annually,” the leaflets handed out on Friday state. “We are currently compensated at a rate well below our peers writing for WGA-covered shows like Ridiculousness. While our workloads have increased substantially, our compensation has been stagnant.”

Critics slammed Oprah Winfrey after she revealed that she used a weight loss drug while also being a Weight Watchers ambassador.
She previously refused to confirm whether she has used medication to lose weight, but she recently shared that it is one of the tools she has been using.
“It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years,” she told People. “I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself.”
One specific moment she recalled was when the fashion critic Mr. Blackwell called her out and she appeared on the cover of a magazine alongside the caption, “Dumpy, Frumpy and Downright Lumpy.”
Instead of being angered by this, Winfrey blamed herself, but now she says she won’t allow people to judge her anymore.

As the Israel-Hamas war continues, John Oliver has noticed that some members of the media “seem way too comfortable with” the war. One of the people who caught the “Last Week Tonight” host’s attention was a retired U.S. brigadier-general who advocated for a “war crime” while being interviewed by CNN.
During a segment on the news network, retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Steven Anderson, an analyst who has appeared on CNN multiple times, said that Israel needs to circle Gaza and apply pressure to the region using the blockade they’ve established. “The people are going to suffer,” Anderson said, before noting that the Palestinian people would eventually give up Hamas.
“Does that mean starve the Palestinian people?” an incredulous Victor Blackwell asked on the air. “Because they will be so hungry and so desperate for water and medicine that then they will give up Hamas?”

Priscilla Presley has addressed some of the alleged history of ex-husband Elvis Presley that was arguably left out of summer blockbuster “Elvis.”
The Baz Luhrmann-directed film presents Elvis (Austin Butler) as the embodiment of mid-20th century America, showing him as being deeply moved by the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King Jr.’s death. That goes against a popular narrative that he was racist, something immortalized in Public Enemy’s song “Fight the Power.” In a new interview with “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Priscilla discussed Elvis’ relationships with musicians of color.
“Per the movie, [for] a long time it was stated that Elvis was a racist,” Priscilla explained. “He was not a racist. He had never been a racist. He had friends, Black friends, friends from all over. He loved their music, he loved their style. He loved being around Black musicians.”
Priscilla cited Elvis’ friendships with Fats Domino...

Jeff Goldblum took over the New York Comic Com virtual stage on Thursday to tease the upcoming second season of his Disney+ series The World According to Jeff Goldblum—specifically the show’s second episode about magic.
Deadline’s Rosy Cordero served as moderator of the panel which included Goldblum, Penn Jillette and Teller of Penn & Teller, and street magician Erik Blackwell. Penn, Teller, and Blackwell also feature in the episode.
“[Magic] is not really an optical illusion thing or a viewing thing—it really is a mental thing,” said Penn Jillette. “Essentially, we’re lying. One of the joys of magic and one of the most important things in life is trying to determine what is true and what’s not, and human beings aren’t particularly good at that but we do our best. Scientific method has helped that tremendously but we still have to make snap judgments on that.

Sinéad O’Connor really does want what she hasn’t got.
At least it seems that way as she spends part of a sunny winter afternoon shopping at Book Soup, a popular store on Sunset Boulevard, in Hollywood. She wants Italian Vogue. She wants a bunch of English and Irish newspapers. She wants a copy of a new unauthorized biography about her. And most interestingly, she wants Scandal Annual 1991, a less than weighty tome that promises a guide to “Who got caught doing what in 1990.” Flipping past the book’s cover...
