Several women, including several kids, have come forward to accuse James Franco of sexually abusing them. Before this, Franco was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Films like “Spider-Man,” “City by the Sea,” “127 Hours,” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful” made him a household name. Alina of Cuba, set to be released in 2019, will have the actor in the role of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, marking his return to the spotlight three years after the allegations. Miguel Bardem is set to direct, and the cast includes Maestro and Villafae. The man picked as Cuba’s leader hasn’t won over everyone, either.

Actor Jeff Torres, known for his work in films like Night Sky, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, and S.W.A.T., took to Twitter to vent his frustrations at the casting decision.

The actor criticized the entertainment business for its double standards in the casting process. Actors who are famous at the time are often cast in lead roles even if they are not of the same ethnic background as the characters they play. However, actors of the same ethnicity as the character are frequently typecast in clichéd roles.

John Leguizamo chimed in with his take;

“How is this still going on? How is Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well? No more appropriation Hollywood and streamers! Boycott! This F’d up! Plus seriously difficult story to tell without aggrandizement which would b wrong! I don’t got a prob with Franco but he ain’t Latino!”

FANS CERTAINLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN JAMES FRANCO’S PAST;

It certainly feels like James cannot escape his past even if he’s in Tinseltown.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

Can a black guy play an Irish guy? how bout a black guy playing a Jewish guy? what about a Jewish guy playing a black guy? hmmm didn't somebody do that in history? isn't that where the term blackface comes from? I learned a long time ago the way you can tell if anything is wrong is to ask that person if they would like that done to them. I think Jewish people would be screaming ANTI SEMITISM if that was done to them. So this is no different. A white man playing a Spanish guy has pork written all over it and it's really not the people who are screaming of the backlash that should be saying anything. That's a given. James Franco should be realizing the moment and should be the one saying something but obviously at this point, he seems too comfortable. HIS EARS ARE DEF. HE'S ACTING IGNORANT. HE'S BEING SELECTIVE. We see him clearly though. The silent majority certainly ain't gonna answer that question. They're the ones that keep PORK ALIVE by not saying anything. The fans certainly haven't forgotten James Francos PORK and are surely giving him a dose of it which proves time is more powerful than any of us. We don't have to tell you that this is a PORK moment cause by now you should already know that. Do you think James knows that? NAH!

Diddy’s Joker costume from the 1989 film provided plenty of laughs on Halloween night. On the other hand, he may have been too immersed in his role when he had a weekend altercation with “Power” actor Michael J. Ferguson.

On camera, Ferguson refers to Diddy as “p—-,” prompting the rapper to laugh like the Joker and label Ferguson “clown.”

“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me,” Diddy asked Ferguson. “Then motherf—— get to it, n—-. If you don’t like me, you motherf—— fronting. Get to it b—-. Don’t f—— play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n—-.”

At this moment, Ferguson still seems to be unaware that the man behind the mask is actually Diddy, as he keeps attacking the performer.

“You f—— p—-, make sure you won’t never talk to me that like,” Diddy said. “We’re having a good time. Why do you want to come at me like that? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now. What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”

Diddy then tells him who he is, and it deescalates.

Recently, movie mogul Tyler Perry challenged Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, two megastar singers, to continue the Why Did I Get Married? series, and Scott has since answered.

The owner of Tyler Perry Studios joked on “Entertainment Tonight” before Perry’s first TheGrio Awards that the two singers are delaying production on Why Did I Get Married 3.

Perry said in a deadpan, “If Janet and Jill Scott say yes, I’m waiting for them to say it.”

Scott’s “A Long Walk” vocalist immediately responded by quoting the tweet and tagging the rest of the cast of the “Why Did I Get Married?” series.

Janet has yet to respond, though. But others have.

Jill, sent out another message for Janet.

Why Did I Marry? series follows married couples who have trouble when vacationing at exotic resorts.

The films are part of Perry’s best 10 movies, that grossed over $115 million.

Kanye West to Buy Conservative Social Platform Parler After Twitter, Instagram Ban

The controversial conservative social networking site Parler has announced that it will be acquired by Kanye West.

Parler’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, released a statement on Monday stating that they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire the Parler platform.”

Further, “the acquisition guarantees Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” the company said.

President and CEO of Parler George Farmer remarked, “Ye’s acquiring of Parler will strengthen our ability to create an uncancelable ecosystem. No one should have to self-censor out of uncertainty about which legal speech will get him or her banned. No individual or business should worry about being completely deplatformed, as Parler was, merely for the expression of opposing viewpoints. 

We intend for Parler to always be a safe space for open discussion and open minds. We shall keep up our resistance to tyranny, censorship, and cancel culture.

The 45-year-old artist and entrepreneur Kanye West bought Parlor after having his Twitter account suspended earlier this month for a regulation violation.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that in a now-deleted tweet, West threatened to unleash “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote, per the outlet. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

Twitter took this action after the Grammy winner had his account blocked by Instagram and had content deleted from his profile for breaking Instagram’s terms of service, as reported by NBC News and CNN.

Even though many people were offended by a post published by West that has since been deleted, a Meta spokeswoman would not clarify to any outlet what content was in violation.

The “Stronger” singer posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which it appeared that West had said Combs, 52, was under Jewish influence. He captioned the photo, “Jesus is Jew,” as reported by NBC News.
