Bruce Campbell responds to ‘petition’ calling for him to replace Amber Heard in Aquaman 2

It can definitely be argued that Bruce Campbell would have more chemistry with Jason Momoa than Amber Heard.

The Evil Dead actor responded to a petition calling for him to replace the actress in the Aquaman sequel with four words: “Send me a script.”

The petition was said to be a joke, but that’s not stopping fans from wishing for Campbell to replace the much-maligned actress.

Justin Bieber and wife Hailey ‘turned away’ from New York restaurant

Justin and Hailey Bieber were denied entry into one of New York City’s swankiest restaurants after they turned up without a reservation.

Perhaps they thought they get by on their fame? Or maybe slip the host or hostess a little something extra for their trouble? Alas, Carbone wasn’t to be.

For some, that rejection would be mortifying, but not the Biebers! The couple just went with the flow and headed to a nearby restaurant where they reportedly “had a great time.”

FUREY: The Emergencies Act inquiry isn’t looking good for Trudeau

Anthony Furey reported on how things were looking rough for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when it comes to how the Emergencies Act inquiry might unfold.

The Liberals insisted they only brought in the Act after police requested it, however it has since come out that the heads of both the Ottawa Police and the RCMP stated they never made such a request.

Are Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s pants on fire? Or will he figure out a way to produce an actual police service that asked the Trudeau government to invoke the Act during the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa?

In a nutshell, there really is no way the PM will come out looking good in the final report – though perhaps Canadians are used to that.

‘TOTAL WIN’: Johnny Depp’s lawyers hint he may not make Amber Heard pay up

Johnny Depp’s lawyers hinted on two morning talk shows that the actor may not try to collect from his ex-wife Amber Heard after winning his defamation trial last week, claiming it was all about clearing his name and his reputation, Mark Daniell reported.

“As Mr. Depp testified … this was never about money … It was a total win for Johnny.”

Well, she is broke, after all.

Chris Rock ‘not concerned’ with Jada Pinkett Smith’s reconciliation plea

Chris Rock could give a flying fudgesicle about Jada Pinkett Smith’s plea for him to reconcile with Will Smith.

Rock is putting Slapgate behind him and is reportedly “not concerned” about the drama surrounding the couple and is focused on his own career, touring and his upcoming comedy special.

Good call. The farther he distances himself from the Smiths, the better off he is. Heck, the better off all of them are.
