Ed Asner has died. He was a well-known actor since the 1960’s, but modern audiences probably know him best as either Santa Claus in Will Farrell’s “Elf,” or the voice of Carl in Disney/Pixar’s “Up.” Ed was 91.
Kanye West’s album “Donda” has been out about a day and it’s already gone #1 in 93 countries on Apple Music, Ye tracks occupying the top 15 spots on the single list. One person not happy with the release - Kanye West. He said on Instagram last night that the album was released by the label without his approval. Also not happy? Chris Brown - he’s apparently mad because a poem he wrote was taken out of the song “New Again” before the release.
James Corden and some of the cast upcoming “Cinderella: The Musical” hopped in front of LA traffic to do a quick rendition of JLO’s “Let’s Get Loud,” resulting in a lot of cranky LA commuters chiming in about how they’d have a hard time choosing from being late to work and taking out James Corden. Camila Cabello looks fantastic, for what it’s worth…so I’m happy they were spared. At one point James did gram]b a cigarette from a passing driver and smoked it - never a good idea, particularly in a pandemic.

Two Chinese athletes from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics says their gold medals are peeling. Trampoline champion Zhu Xueying posted photos on Chinese social media site Weibo showing the outer layer of her gold medal seemingly coming off when rubbed with a finger. Swimmer Wang Shun had a similar issue with his gold medal. The Tokyo medals were partially made from recycled electronics, a bid to be a bit more environmentally friendly. The Tokyo Games' organising committee said in a statement that the peeling material was a protective coating rather than the gold plating. “Even if you remove the coating, it does not directly affect the medals’ quality."
On the evening of August 23rd, Olympic champion Zhu Xueying sent a message to Weibo, saying that her Olympic gold medal had lost a layer of skin, and the upper left had mottled visible to the naked eye. pic.twitter.com/gDPBga7rkt
