    It’s always nice to see a celebrity reach out to support and help another when they are almost helpless. Something similar happened with Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels’ director, Guy Ritchie. None other than Tom Cruise himself managed to save the sinking boat of a film that was Guy Ritchie’s directorial debut and Jason Statham’s feature film debut.

    While he was not directly involved in the film, Tom Cruise, with his heart of gold, went out of his way to help secure theatrical distribution for the movie. This allowed Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels to become a commercial success and was even nominated for a BAFTA. Thanks to the film’s success Guy Ritchie was able to rope Brad Pitt for his 2000 film, Snatch.

    How Tom Cruise Helped Guy Ritchie’s Crime Comedy

    Tom CruiseTom Cruise
    During his appearance on BBC Radio 4’s The Business of Film with Mark Kermode, Matthew Vaugh talked about how Tom Cruise helped the film become a reality. Vaughn was the top producer of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels which was directed by Guy Ritchie. Vaugh stated that while Cruise wasn’t linked to the film at all, he was acquaintances with executive producer Trudi Styler.

    When no one was ready to buy the film, Vaugh wanted to give up. However, he decided to give the film one last shot and asked Styler to call in Cruise for a favor. Cruise agreed to attend the buyers’ screening of the film and his enthusiasm for the film turned the buyers’ opinions around which started a bidding war.
    “It was hysterical. You had all these mid-level executives sitting there, and Cruise walked in. He saw them all sit up and pay attention, all getting on their phones, and suddenly all these senior executives joined the screening. […] At the end, Tom got up in front of everyone and said ‘this is the best movie I’ve seen in years, you guys would be fools not to buy it.’”
    Thanks to Cruise, Ritchie’s directorial debut was able to see the light of day and went on to make about $28 million on a budget of just $800 thousand. Cruise sure knows how to get things done!

    Vaugh and Ritchie regrouped to make yet another crime comedy, Snatch. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels actor Jason Statham and a few other actors also joined the duo for the film. Somehow, Ritchie was able to rope in megastar Brad Pitt for the film. Apparently, Pitt reached out to Ritchie to see if there was a role for him in the film. The director replied, “yes,” even though he didn’t have a place for the actor. Afterward, Ritchie had to rewrite the script in order to incorporate Pitt’s character, Mickey O’Neil or One Punch Mickey.

    According to IMDb, when Ritchie told Pitt that he would be playing a boxer, Pitt was unsure. This dilemma stemmed from the fact that he had just done Fight Club. However, the actor agreed regardless as he wanted to work with Ritchie.

    Snatch went on to make $83 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of $10 million. Not only was the film a box office success but it was also well-received by the audience. It looks like Cruise’s little help took Ritchie and the team a long way!

    You can stream Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels on Prime Video and you can rent/buy Snatch on Prime Video as well.

    What is Meg 2: The Trench about

    However, their mission becomes dangerous when they confront heavily armed mercenaries. So, they are left with the dual challenge of facing these enemies as well as enormous marine creatures like megalodons.

    Before seeing Meg 2, you might have imagined Basilosaurus from Jurassic Park as the most terrifying predator, but you will definitely change your views after seeing the latest Megalodon in this American-Chinese co-production.

    Fans love Meg 2: The Trench

    The Meg, which was released in 2018, was successful enough to evoke the sheer horror of underwater adventure. The fans eagerly anticipated the sequel so they could enjoy Jason Statham’s action and the same surge of adrenaline.

    Reacting to Jason Statham’s mind-blowing action scenes and the movie’s wild plot, one user wrote,
    “More ridiculous than I thought. The plot is wild. First half of the movie was fun. The last half while still fun, got so insane that I laughed with how dumb it was. Jason Statham was great as always”.
    Another user said, “Absolute perfection, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that must be seen in theaters”.

    One user appreciated the brilliant casting of the movie with breathtaking visuals and said,

    "The person I hate the most is Dwayne Johnson": The Rock Calls Critics Idiots Who Accuse Him of Abusing His Power in WWE for a WrestleMania Match

    Dwayne Johnson issued a challenge with set stipulations during the opening of Friday’s WWE SmackDown. Johnson has challenged Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to a tag-team match against him and Roman Reigns on WrestleMania Night One. Following this, the People’s Champion took to X to unleash his fury on the 2024 Royal Rumble winner, Rollins, and the “Cody Crybabies.” He bashed the critics who have been long accusing him of using his power to get a WrestleMania match.

    According to The Rock’s conditions of the tag team match, if Rhodes and Rollins win, the Bloodline will be barred from ringside during Rhodes v. Reigns on Night Two. However, if they lose, the title match will be a ‘Bloodline Rules’ match.

    Dwayne Johnson Shuts Down His Critics And Calls Them Idiots

    Dwayne JohnsonBlack Adam star Dwayne Johnson bashes his WWE critics
    In a 21-minute rant posted by Dwayne Johnson to his X page, the returning People’s Champion bragged about how he has made Pro Wrestling exciting and cool again. He shared that whether people like or don’t like The Rock, it didn’t matter because his appearance has brought Pro Wrestling to its peak once again. However, he shared that it didn’t feel good to deal with all the “bullsh*t” from his critics.

     

    Johnson called them the “Cody Crybabies” and revealed that they were just running their mouths about The Rock at whatever opportunity they got. He then went on to play a clip of Dace LaGreca from his Busted Open podcast, where he complained about The Rock taking Cody Rhodes‘ main event spot. LaGreca accused Dwayne Johnson of abusing his power as a member of the Board of Directors of TKO to put himself in the main event at WrestleMania 40. LaGreca shared:
    “You know who is my favorite wrestler right now? It’s Cody Rhodes. Do you know who I hate and I fucking despise in this moment, it’s Dwayne Johnson, member of the Board of Directors of TKO. I hate that man right now in this moment, not as a person obviously, but as a wrestling fan watching the product, the person I want to boo, the person I hate the most is Dwayne Johnson. Because I am looking at the Board of Director that came in, used his power to take this opportunity away from Cody and put himself in the main event at Wrestlemania 40. That’s how I look at it right now.”
    Johnson commented that it was the level of absurdity he had got to deal with. He went on to bash LaGreca and called him “a goof, an idiot, another pro wrestling Cody Crybaby Jack Off Idiot Who Thinks He Knows Everything.” He mocked the podcaster, talking about his pink bathrobe and Cody Rhodes t-shirt, and shared that he didn’t know anything about Pro Wrestling to accuse The Rock.

    Dwayne Johnson Bashed Cody Rhodes For Changing His Mind

    Dwayne Johnson clarified that he used his position on the TKO Board of Directors for nothing more than increasing the popularity of Pro Wrestling. He explained his involvement in WWE getting a Netflix deal. He shared that it was not him who interfered with Rhodes’ match against Roman Reigns, but it was Rhodes who failed at his chance last year at WrestleMania and disrupted the high-profile match between The Rock and Reigns. Johnson shared in his video:
    “It has nothing to do with the Board. It has nothing to do with the fact that The Rock owns everything. It has everything to do with common sense, you idiot. When Roman Reigns, years ago, dropped the words, ‘head of the table’. Those words were specifically and solely set up and created so one day Roman Reigns, the champion of the WWE, would come face to face with his cousin, The Rock, the People’s Champion, and together they will make history. That is The Rock’s story. At one time, that was Cody Rhodes story, but it was last year. And what happened last year at Wrestlemania? It’s, oh, he shit the bed.”
    He accused that Cody Rhodes changed his mind after initially stepping aside for The Rock v. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He even shared how he retaliated back by embarrassing Rhodes on live TV with a slap. The Rock also bashed Seth Rollins who interjected himself into the fight. He gave a stern warning to Rollins, who made several derogatory comments about Johnson.

    He concluded the video by sharing that he would make Cody Rhodes pay at the WrestleMania 40 match if he were to accept the challenge. WrestleMania 40 will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 6 and 7, 2024.

    “You’re a fr***n copy of The Rock”: Industry Expert Claims Dwayne Johnson’s Return Has Jeopardized Another WWE Star’s Career But Fans Disagree

    Wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer critiqued LA Knight’s promo style, saying it imitates The Rock too much.


    "You're a fr***n copy of The Rock": Industry Expert Claims Dwayne Johnson's Return Has Jeopardized Another WWE Star's Career But Fans Disagree

    In WWE, a world where personality is as important as in-ring skills, LA Knight has emerged as a rising star. Known for his catchy promos and undeniable charisma, Knight seemed poised to make it big. But according to wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer, Knight now faces an unexpected obstacle – the return of legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
    The Rock | WWEDwayne Johnson | WWE
    Dave Meltzer pointed out this shift in perspective on Wrestling Observer Radio. He noted that Knight’s promo initially generated a lot of buzz. But with The Rock back on the mic, Knight feels like a copycat now.

    However, fans are not in the same line as Meltzer and believe the crowd still goes for  ​​LA Knight.

    LA Knight Faces Unexpected Challenge: The Return of The Rock

    Wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer’s critique of Knight’s recent promo on WWE SmackDown has sparked discussions. Meltzer pointed out striking similarities between Knight’s delivery and that of The Rock.
    You know LA Knight is obviously very, very popular but when he came out and did this promo, all I could think of is man, you’re a fr****n copy of The Rock,” Meltzer remarked. (Via @Cultaholic)

    The return of The Rock to the WWE scene has undoubtedly shifted the dynamics for Knight. Previously, Knight garnered attention with his dynamic promos, eliciting fervent reactions from the audience. However, Meltzer pointed out that Knight’s similar style now feels like a mere imitation with Dwayne Johnson back on the microphone.
    When Rock wasn’t there it was like he was great and the people were going nuts and they still were reacting well to him but it really felt watching this LA Knight promo to me completely different from a month or two months ago when The Rock wasn’t around and he’s doing this stuff and he was like the hot thing. And now it’s like he’s not the hot thing, and you’ve got the real Dwayne Johnson doing the promo and you’ve got this guy trying to do the same type of promo. And again, he’s got a great delivery too but you just can’t do it. You can’t do a Rock promo right now without looking real second-rate,” Meltzer said.
    The Rock’s unparalleled career and captivating stage presence make it a daunting task for any current wrestler to match his energy. Even though Knight’s delivery skills are commendable, they seem overshadowed when compared to the iconic Rock.

    Fans Find it Hard to Agree with Dave Meltzer

    LA Knight made his in-ring debut at NXT in March 2021, and he is undoubtedly a charismatic and great performer. He became so popular because of his nature of bringing authenticity to his character.

    And, people believe that when he is on the mic, he just delivers his best, though not like John Cena or The Rock, obviously. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disagreement with what Meltzer has commented on him being overshadowed by The Rock.

    Fans think he has the gift of taking audiences’ attention, which is not a cup of tea for everyone. He got the mic skill on how to crack things in promo cut, and apart from that, he has good physics and moves that make a great wrestler.

    Dwayne Johnson is one of the most charismatic and renowned personalities around the world, and he has already cemented himself as a multitalented man. He is renowned for not only having a successful acting career but also a successful wrestling career. However, ever since he made his WWE return, he has been making headlines due to his heated beef with The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. The beef took a drastic turn when Seth Rollins joined hands with Rhodes to stop The Bloodline.

    As the Black Adam actor’s feud with Rhodes and Rollins intensified, the latter’s wife, Becky Lynch got involved as well, as Johnson took a dig at The Architect calling his wife a bigger star than him. While at first, it merely sounded like hollow words to demean the World Heavyweight Champion. However, today’s episode of RAW showcases how The Great One was right.

    Dwayne Johnson’s Takes a Dig The Messiah Using Becky Lynch

    In the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, things got fiery as Dwayne Johnson went on a verbal rampage against his WrestleMania opponents Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Johnson had a creepy message for the former wrestler’s mother, Michelle Rubio, while the latter got called out for his stardom.

    The People’s Champ promo in Memphis started off by reminiscing his wrestling roots. Interestingly, the promo got fiery when he started singing, and it was not your typical karaoke session. Johnson fired shots not only at Rhodes but also at Rollins, including his wife, Becky Lynch. A fan had shared the video on X, where Johnson sang,
    “Cacklin and dancin’ is all that you do, no wonder that your wife is more popular than you, you’re so desperate to make them cheer. but The Rock is going make your title disappear.” 
    The Rock featured a picture of the couple on the big screen, which surprised the fans. Now, at first, the fans believed that the lyrics were only meant to be an insult to Rollins, but upon deeper analysis, it was indeed true, as the couple have a significant difference in popularity; which is evident through their popularity in their Instagram followers.

    While The Messiah (@wwerollins) has only 4.6 million followers, his wife, The Man (@beckylynchwwe) has 5.9 million followers on her Instagram. The difference is staggering as Rollins made his WWE debut on November 18, 2012, as a member of The Shield, alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Lynch made her in-ring debut on the 26th June 2014 episode of NXT, defeating Summer Rae.

    Becky Lynch has indeed left an indelible mark in the wrestling industry, as she is the perfect combination of talent, charisma, and dedication. These qualities often make fans call her a living embodiment of greatness while possessing an exceptional level of in-ring skill. Ever since she made her debut in 2014, she has been consistently entertaining the fans, delivering thrilling matches that will leave you in goosebumps.

    This was again proved to be true in today’s episode of WWE RAW, as The Man went against Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing match, the winner will punch their ticket to WrestleMania XL facing Mami, Rhea Ripley, for the Women’s World Championship. The match featured many breathtaking moments, but what caught the attention of the fans was how Lynch continued breaking the stereotypes in wrestling history, as she put her opponent through a table as well as the announce table shared by fans on the social media.

     

     

    The match was thrilling as Lynch finally got her title shot. After winning the match, Ripley came out to confront her WrestleMania XL opponent. The moment was electrifying as the crowd was cheering and screaming the name of the challenger.

    The couple appeared happy as ever and were all smiles when leaving Catch Steak in Los Angeles over the weekend.

    The actor, 51, looked dapper in an all-cream ensemble that featured a wool-blend polo short-sleeved shirt with a collar and some trousers in the same colour to match.

    He added a pair of white trainers to the outfit and wore some black-rimmed circular glasses on his face, carrying his things in a small black leather backpack which he held down by his side in his hand.

    She scraped her long curly hair into a low ponytail and kept her makeup natural, accessorising with some large gold hoop earrings and a simple necklace.

    The famous couple first met each other in 2006 and walked down the aisle years later in August 2019 – following the birth of their two daughters Jasmine, seven and Tiana, five.

    Divorcing his former spouse in 2008, the wrestler-turned-actor is also a dad to Ava Raine, 22, whom he shares with his ex-wife Dany Garcia.

    Selena Gomez has said she will never be a model as she went after body shamers while revealing that her lupus medication is responsible for her weight gain.

    The 30-year-old star – who recently shed light on having an assistant post on social media on her behalf – got candid as she took to a livestream on TikTok on Thursday  to take aim at those who have commented on her body.

    The  Only Murders In The Building actress explained that she will ‘hold a lot of water weight’ due to several medications she takes and also encouraged fans to practice self-love even in moments of feeling shame.

    The Lose You to Love Me singer – who has previously been vocal about her autoimmune disease diagnosis and mental health journey – also said: ‘When I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight.’

    While continuing to celebrate body positivity, the former Disney star expressed that the minor side effect is incomparable to her health: ‘My medications are important, and I believe they are what helps me.’

    Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco brave rain for Gucci Grammys bash

    A large, ornate light fixture shone above her as she donned an all-black ensemble with her locks styled into a chic up do.

    Earlier this week on Thursday, the Wolves hitmaker announced that she would be releasing a new single next week. ‘Wait ’til I turn my love on. Presave my new song “Love On” out 2.22.’

    She additionally shared an image of the cover art for the song which showed Selena standing near an open door that led to a balcony.

    Gomez wore a white robe while a white towel was wrapped on top of her head as she sported fashionable sunglasses.

    A scenic, blue ocean stretched out behind the singer which offered a scenic backdrop in the image.

    Love On comes after she released the track, Single Soon, last year in August – which was produced by both her boyfriend Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat.

    Last month in January, the beauty discussed her future when it came to music on the SmartLess podcast. ‘I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting.’

    ‘I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else.’

  • EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West is desperately trying to ‘turn things around’ with wife Bianca Censori’s family by ‘sweet talking’ her mom – who has flown to the US to ‘SAVE’ her daughter from the rapper amid fears she’s being ‘controlled’

    EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West is desperately trying to ‘turn things around’ with wife Bianca Censori’s family by ‘sweet talking’ her mom – who has flown to the US to ‘SAVE’ her daughter from the rapper amid fears she’s being ‘controlled’

    Kanye West has been working to ‘turn things around’ with the mother of his wife Bianca Censori after she flew out to ‘save’ her daughter over fears she was being controlled, insiders have claimed.

    Bianca’s loved ones have frequently expressed their fears for the 29-year-old Aussie since she married Kanye, 46, in December 2022 – with some going as far as staging an intervention, while her father Leo was reportedly keen to confront the rapper over his daughter’s X-rated clothing.

    Bianca’s mother flew from Australia to the US last week with the intention of ‘saving’ the Yeezy designer, according to insiders, who claim she is taking time ‘to see for herself’ whether her daughter truly does have everything under control.

    ‘Bianca’s mom had to see for herself after Bianca told her family she has this under control,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘This has been a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra to get to spend time with Bianca and assess the situation for herself.’

    Bianca’s concerned mom rushed out to try and ‘save’ her daughter, but has reportedly had her fears eased during this time together.

    The insider continued: ‘Right now is a pivotal time and Alexandra was lowkey believing she would come to save her daughter. But this is not the case.

    ‘Kanye has started to turn things around since the release of Vultures in the sense that he is not going off on as many unhinged rants.

    ‘He also knows how to sweet talk a mom. This has been really a good experience, and everyone is so relieved to see her with Alexandra.’

    A desire to be involved in the lives of any future grandchildren may also be a driving force.

    ‘Alexandra knows that Bianca wants children, and she does not want to miss the opportunity to be a part of her grandkids lives,’ the source added.

    Alexandra posed for pictures with her scantily-clad daughter as the group disembarked from a private jet in Los Angeles on Wednesday ahead of Kanye’s performance at Rolling Loud music festival.

    Bianca left little to the imagination in a completely sheer G-string leotard that almost completely exposed her physique.

    The source added that the past few days have been great for Bianca – who has been feeling happier in her marriage following some rocky moments, and even enjoyed some quality time with Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian earlier this week.

    ‘This week has been really huge for Bianca in terms of growth’, the insider stated. ‘She has not only got the opportunity to spend time with her mom but also with the mom of her step kids.’

    They added: ‘It is very maternal and she is in a good safe place. Everyone is hoping she stays here because no one wants her to go back to Kanye’s robot.’

    Are you worried for Bianca’s welfare?

    Earlier this week, sources revealed to DailyMail.com that Bianca had insisted to loved ones that she ‘knows what she is doing’ and is not being coerced by her husband like many have feared.

    ‘Bianca has talked to her family and she has told her friends the same thing since she was last back home, namely that she knows what she is doing and she has this under control,’ the insider explained.

    Indeed, the architectural designer appears to have a goal in mind when it comes to what she will do with her newfound level of fame, and is said to be making smart investments within her marriage.

    While many believe the rising fashion star has simply become the Grammy-winner’s ‘trophy wife,’ Bianca has long been someone who works with Kanye to build his empire.

    Bianca Censori BARES ALL while out in Paris with Kanye West

    On top of heading the architecture for Kanye’s brand, Yeezy, since November 2020, Bianca is listed as a joint officer and manager of Oxpaha LLC, which Kanye founded in October 2023.

    ‘She has a lot invested in her marriage to Kanye and her game plan is starting to become apparent,’ the source continued.

    ‘She has ownership in his clothing line, in his music – she is the only model in his latest video and on the cover of Vultures – in his real estate investments, and more,’ the insider added.

    ‘She is a very smart woman and it appears she is just as involved in her outrageous outfits as he is.

    ‘She has always been risqué, but she knows that this is her minute and that her minute won’t last forever.’

    Kanye and Bianca have been making important moves through, Oxpaha, with all of Kanye’s recent trademark applications – including clothing items used for his album release – filed under the company.

    A 7,416-square-foot commercial building on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, which it is believed he will use as a multi-purpose unit for his Yeezy fashion and music businesses, was also purchased last year under Oxpaha.

    Bianca was named special power of attorney for the property deal, highlighting her importance within the rapper’s business dealings.

    Bianca Censori dons VERY skimpy outfit at Super Bowl party

    She was also listed as a business partner in VZW Acquisition group for many years before she first connected with Kanye.

    In December, Leo and Alexandra were said to have been fearful that their daughter was simply a rebound in the wake of Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian – which was finalized in November 2022, less than one month before he married Bianca.

    ‘Her parents found it suspect that he married Bianca one month after his divorce from Kim was finalized,’ a source said at the time. ‘They really didn’t want Bianca to be his rebound from such a high-profile marriage.’

    Bianca grew up in an upper-class neighborhood in Melbourne and attended the prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School.

    One of her former classmates previously described her as a ‘social butterfly who was friends with everyone’ before finding fame.
