Jimmy Fallon Blasted Over 20-Year-Old Sketch

Eek! A clip of Jimmy Fallon wearing blackface in an SNL sketch from 2000 has resurfaced. In the video, Jimmy Fallon is seen impersonating Chris Rock. The clip is being shared online with the hashtag #jimmyfallonisoverparty. Many people are accusing Jimmy Fallon of racism, and they asked him to acknowledge his use of blackface, why he did it and to apologize. Jimmy Fallon did just that. He apologized in a statement yesterday, saying, “In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface... There is no excuse for this. I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”

Innocent Man Who Sat In Prison For 37 Years Stuns On America's Got Talent
America’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has signed up as an ambassador for the Innocence Project after hearing the amazing voice of Archie Williams, who sat in prison for 37 years on false charges, give an incredible performance on the show. Simon Cowell said, “While Archie’s voice is extraordinary, unfortunately his experience of being sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit is much more common than most people realize." Archie Williams, who was only 22 when he was arrested in 1983 for the rape and stabbing of a 30 year old woman, gave a beautiful performance of Elton John’s “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me.” He told the judges that he often watched the show while in prison and would visualize himself being there. If not for the new evidence and the work of the Innocence Project, he would have served 37 years in prison.

Justin And Hailey Bieber Threaten To Sue Plastic Surgeon Over TikTok Video

A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon has been hit with a cease-and-desist letter by lawyers for Justin and Hailey Bieber for suggesting that Hailey Bieber had plastic surgery. In a Tik Tok video that the surgeon posted over the weekend, he compares a 2011 photo of Hailey Bieber to a more recent one. He says he thinks the physical changes are impossible without some cosmetic procedures. He specifically says that he thinks she got work done on her nose, had a genioplasty and that she also has lip fillers. The Biebers' legal team say the TikTok has many violations, including "misrepresentation, defamation, slander, false light, violation of rights of publicity, copyright infringement, trademark and service mark infringement" and more. They're demanding that the video be taken down or he'll be sued. The surgeon is saying that he did nothing wrong.
