‘Wicked' Star Cynthia Erivo Fires Back at MAGA Hate for Playing Jesus
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has some thoughts about the MAGA outrage—fueled by Elon Musk—over her casting as Christ in the Hollywood Bowl's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. 'You can't please everyone,' the Tony, Grammy, and Emmy-winner told Billboard in a new interview. 'It is legitimately a three-day performance at the Hollywood Bowl where I get to sing my face off. So hopefully they will come and realize, 'Oh, it's a musical, the gayest place on Earth.'' The show will run August 1-3. Many MAGA fans slammed Erivo's Christ casting as 'blasphemy' on social media when her role was first announced in February. What seemed lost on several critics was the tone of the show itself. The 1971 Andrew Lloyd Webber rock opera has always been a provocative, at-times critical take on Christ's life, that over time became a cult favorite among queer audiences. Musk seemed to have missed that bit of information as well as he chimed in on X with an eyebrow-raised emoji in reply to an X user who wrote, 'Imagine doing this to any other religion' next to Erivo's casting news. Critics with similar complaints flooded Variety's social media post announcing the casting with one user in the replies called Erivo playing Christ 'anti-Christian bigotry' by 'Hollywood.' But Erivo told Billboard, 'Why not?' as she shrugged off naysayers. 'The more yourself you are, the more you are in front of people who don't necessarily understand, the better understanding starts to happen,' she said. As much as she wants to be 'a person you can get positive things from' since 'that is the only way you can balance this stuff,' she couldn't help getting in a jab at Donald Trump for his takeover of the Kennedy Center, where Erivo played some of the most iconic performances of her career. 'I don't know who gains what from that. I hope that it comes back,' she said. 'It's really sad to have to watch this happen to it. The Kennedy Center is supposed to be a space of creativity and art and music for everyone.' That said, assimilating to appease Trump and his 'anti-woke' mob isn't on the star's to-do list, she added. 'I want to encourage people to not decide to just tuck away and start hiding and not being themselves anymore,' she said, 'because that is exactly what they want.'

Jonathan Joss escorted out of ‘King of the Hill' panel days before murder: report
Jonathan Joss was allegedly escorted out of a TV festival after expressing disappointment in not being asked to be part of the 'King of the Hill' panel.

Advertisement The alleged incident — which was caught on camera by a fan — happened at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, on Friday, May 30, with insiders telling the outlet that Joss, who was in the crowd, walked up to a microphone that was supposed to be used for the Q&A portion of the event and began to speak before it was time for the audience to interact with those on the panel. 'It seemed he did get a little emotional while he spoke, but mostly he was calm and he just needed to say his piece,' the insider told the outlet, noting that the show's co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels didn't appear worried. 8 Jonathan Joss' alleged killer poses for his mug shot.

Witnesses told TMZ that he began shouting at anyone in his path, including Alvarez Ceja, who allegedly got in a vehicle, fired several shots at Joss, and fled the scene. Advertisement He was arrested roughly a block from the shooting. Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, spoke out following his shocking death. 'This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw,' Gonzales said in a Facebook post, recalling finding their dead dog's remains. 'While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.' While Joss' husband claimed the shooting was a hate crime, law enforcement told The Post that no evidence was found to support those accusations. Advertisement A GoFundMe was started for Joss earlier this year after the fire, showing that $10,721 in donations were collected to help him recoup what he lost. The fundraiser page also revealed that his dad had built the home for his mother in 1957, and three of his dogs died in the blaze. Besides voicing John Redcorn on 'King of the Hill,' Joss also starred as Chief Ken Hotate in 'Parks and Recreation' and appeared in shows like 'Ray Donovan' and 'Friday Night Lights.'

T-Pain fuels retirement rumors after teasing 'big decision' in social media video
T-Pain fuels retirement rumors after teasing 'big decision' in social media video Grammy Award-winning rapper T-Pain dropped a mysterious video on social media that hints at a "big decision" to make after two decades in the industry. In the 43-second clip, published on June 2, the "Buy U a Drank" emcee hinted at taking a step back and thanked his fans for a "making this a great ride." "I gave you all everything for 20 years. I'm grateful to each of you for making this such a great ride," T-Pain said in the video's caption. "Right now, I just need some time for me." He ends the video with the words, "This might be it." While the meaning behind the video is unclear, some users on social media have suggested the rapper could be considering retirement. The USA TODAY Network has reached out to a representative for T-Pain for comment. The hip-hop star, known for his use of auto-tune and deft ability to crank out club-charting hits, has been on the road performing shows all over the country. This musical grind comes after T-Pain (whose real name is Faheem Najm) made a big splash in his hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, in 2024. In November, a street named "T-Pain Lane" was revealed in his honor at a portion of Pasco Street from Orange Avenue to Tucker Street that ends at Bond Elementary School. Later the same day, the rapper performed to a sold-out crowd, his first headliner show in the city, at the Adderley Amphitheater during Tallahassee's bicentennial celebration concert. 'Boots with the fur': T-Pain gets shoutout from Reba McEntire with Super Bowl look He gushed over the opportunity to perform his hits to the adoring crowd, adding that he'd love to bring a variation of his popular "Wiscansin Fest" to the Florida capital. Days after the concert, organizers told the Tallahassee Democrat, part of the USA TODAY Network, that there were talks about making this a reality.
