WB Reportedly Wants Robert Pattinson To Be The Only Batman In Cinemas
Warner Bros. reportedly wants Robert Pattinson to be the only Batman in cinemas. Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight was just seen in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and he’s set to show up once again in The Flash movie. However, this may be his final appearance in the DCEU, if the studio’s plans stay the same.
A new report is pointing to WB wanting to get rid of Batfleck, thereby leaving Battinson as the franchise’s number one Caped Crusader going forward. Scooper Mikey Sutton of Geekosity has shared what could be a major twist in the Ezra Miller vehicle, so proceed with caution.

White House staffers asked to resign or work remotely after revealing past marijuana use
Several White House staffers were asked to resign, were suspended or are working remotely after revealing past marijuana use during their background checks, sources familiar with the situation tell CNN.
Five people are no longer employed at the White House, while additional staffers are working remotely. In many of the cases involving staffers who are no longer employed, additional security factors were in play, including for some hard drug use, the official said.
While marijuana use is legal in many states, it is still illegal on the federal level, which can present a hurdle in the federal security clearance process.

Kevin Frazier blasted for suggesting black women educate Sharon Osbourne
“Entertainment Tonight” host Kevin Frazier suggested that a number of prominent black women in Hollywood come together to help Sharon Osbourne “learn” about race.
Osbourne liked the post, but it did not go over well with several black actresses, including “Insecure” star Seale.
“You must be outta yo gotdamn mind. How bout you put your energy into providing a safe space for those on the show who have been terrorized by her rampant racism/classism/xenophobia,” she replied.
Frazier shot back: “Been doing that for years… I wanted to hear your thoughts that’s why I tagged you, I respect your opinion, not trying to get into a scrap.”
“Well, you missed the mark this time, BROTHA,” Seales said.

Sharon Osbourne on Her Future at 'The Talk,' Says She Never Should've Dismissed Sheryl Underwood
Osbourne acknowledged that when it comes to her tense exchange with Underwood, she handled the situation badly. "I love Sheryl, I've apologized to Sheryl, she's not gotten back and I can understand. Sheryl needs her time."
"I am not a racist and if you can't have a go at your friend who happens to be Black, does that make me racist because I said certain things to my friend, but I said them on camera?" she asks. "I will keep on apologizing to Sheryl, even if I decide not to go back, I will still keep apologizing to Sheryl. I have nothing but respect and so much affection for Sheryl. I don't want to hurt her."
Osbourne explained that she told Underwood not to cry because she felt like she was the one who was being blindsided in the situation, not her co-host. She said she wasn't prepared for the questions she was being asked, though Underwood had them written on a card she was reading.

Increasingly, Facts Are Considered Racist
Cancellation has become so frequent that there’s a tendency to note the latest example perfunctorily and move on, hoping you’re not the next victim.
Last week’s termination of Professor Sandra Sellers of Georgetown Law School bears more than a perfunctory mention. In what she thought was a private conversation with a fellow faculty member after a virtual class, Sellers said, after discussing the performance of a black student in her mediation class:
You know what? I hate to say this, I end up having this angst every semester, that a lot of my lower ones are blacks. It happens almost every semester, and it’s like oh, come on. You know, we get some really good ones but there also are usually some of them that are just plain at the bottom.

Ghana may outlaw LGBTQ activism “in all its current and future forms”
Pink News reports that MP Samuel Nartey George, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said government figures must “uphold our traditions, culture and religious beliefs” by fighting back against “the growing advocacy for homosexual rights in Ghana.” George is referring to Christianity, an import into the country from European colonizers who instituted sodomy laws.
“We have taken a stance and announced our intention to present a private members bill to expressly criminalize and ban the advocacy and act of homosexuality in all its current and future forms,” he said. “The proposed bill would strengthen and augment existing legislation on the subject.”

Rape Fantasies
Pepé Le Pew Reportedly Benched From Space Jam: A New Legacy
During my youth the "new feminism" agenda consisted of sex entitlement by tour blasting their rape fantasies on Phil Donahue and onwards. We need to cancel 62% of those women. 09-Mar-2021
Study evaluates the rape fantasies of a female undergraduate sample (N = 355) using a sexual fantasy checklist, a sexual fantasy log, a rape fantasy scenario presentation, and measures of personality. Results indicated that 62% of women have had a rape fantasy. For these women, the median rape fantasy frequency was about four times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week. Further, rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women. The major theories that have been proposed to explain why women have rape fantasies were tested. Results indicated that sexual blame avoidance and ovulation theories were not supported. Openness to sexuality, sexual desirability, and sympathetic activation theories received partial support. -Jenny Bivona. 09-Mar-2021

Bill Maher Finally Says What So Many Think but Are Too Afraid to Say
The people who CAN say something SHOULD say something. I’m old – I have lived a pretty good life so far, all things considered. I now must fight for a better world for my daughter who is coming of age into this psychotic one. She is a creative, brilliant, compassionate, caring person who, like so many of you, has a right to stretch her legs and find some kind of honesty in both the art she receives and the art she makes. But right now, she, like so many others, are being reduced to the ways they can be punished, each and every day for something they do “wrong.” Orwell would call it “wrong think” and we truly are in the era of children spies where we are all constantly being monitored for anything we might say or do to get ourselves shamed publicly or have our platforms removed.
Your choices are to be silent to save yourself, to stand up against it and destroy yourself, or the worst of all of them, to pander to it. Don’t pander to it. If you don’t go along with it, stay silent. Spare yourselves the shame of the future looking back at you and your having to live with having pandered to a force you know in your bones is wrong.

‘Outrage’ over makeup artist fired from Amy Poehler project in race row
The firing of a makeup artist from the buzzy new Amy Poehler project is causing eruptions in the TV world, we’re told.
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that the artist in question was canned from the “Untitled Tracy Oliver Project” — the new show from the “Girls Trip” creator dubbed the “Black Sex and the City” — for allegedly saying the N-word repeatedly in front of one of the show’s lead actresses, while singing along with a rap song. (We know both the name of the actress and the makeup artist, but we aren’t going to print them due to the sensitivity of the situation. The makeup artist is a veteran of many major TV shows and movies.)
Now Page Six is told that her peers are outraged that the artist was fired for using the word — especially, we’re told, because the makeup artist is biracial.
