Tinsel Town Talk – Mon 11/18/2024

One of the most hyped boxing matches of all time was a complete dud, as many expected. It seemed like Tyson spent more time biting his gloves than he did throwing punches. An estimated 60 million people watched the fight . . . or TRIED to.  For many, the entire card was ruined by constant freezing and buffering. Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson by unanimous decision Friday night.

Tyson Loses To Paul, Now Planning Entire Face Tattoo: Mike Tyson lost to Jake Paul on Friday night by unanimous decision. Mike tells The Blast that he plans to tattoo his entire face now that he is no longer in training to fight Jake.  “I’m thinking about some tattoos. I think I just want to do my face, my whole face. I’m not going to tell you, but it’s going to be interesting. I don’t care if somebody’s not going to put me on their plane or let me on their yacht. [The face tattoo] allows me to be me.”

America’sgolden girl Betty White is being honored next year with her own stamp.  She’s honored for being a television icon for seven decades and for her animal advocacy.

Lady Gaga will be in “Wednesday” Season 2, but there’s no word what her role is.  It’s currently in production in Europe. Back in December 2022, Lady Gaga went viral on TikTok for doing the “Wednesday” dance to a remix of her song “Bloody Mary”.

Another small piece of your innocence will be chipped away, when POPEYE becomes a horror movie villain.  The movie, simply called “Popeye”, is expected to be released in January.  It’s not part of the “Poohniverse” that started with the “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” movies, but it’s the same basic idea. It’s described as a, quote, “raunchy and gory slasher”, where Popeye attacks a group of counselors who are trying to open a summer camp.  Obviously, you couldn’t pick a less original premise . . . or a plot that has less to do with the actual Popeye character.  Seriously, summer camp???  My guess is they chose it simply because it’s the cheapest idea to film . . . which doesn’t make me confident we’ve got a winner on the way. (You can see some pics here.  At least he has a boat.)

“Red One” made $34 million in its opening weekend.  That was enough to open at #1 . . . but given that it cost $250 million to make, it’s not ideal. (CINEMA SCOOP .. The film cost $200 million to produce. It earned $50 million overseas for a total worldwide weekend take of $84.1 million)

It is not. I still have to calm myself down sometimes.”

The News International says Jennifer Lopez hopes to reconcile with Ben Affleck. A source says, “Ben has been trying to distance himself from Jen, but she just won’t let him. She’s been showing up at the same events as him and demanding they continue doing group activities with the kids, and if he doesn’t agree then he’s the bad guy. Now, she’s pushing for them to do joint celebrations for Thanksgiving and Christmas, saying it’s for the children, but Ben isn’t buying it’s just about them.”
