Slasher films are known for their one-liners, both the badass and the embarrassing. Dr. Loomis in the "Halloween" series, Freddy Krueger in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, Ghostface in the numerous "Scream" flicks, Pinhead in the "Hellraiser" films, and just about everything Chucky has ever said throughout his franchise have all birthed quotes as memorable as the characters who say them. In the delightfully silly "Freddy vs Jason," one of the most infamous lines is not spoken by either slasher icon or even the film's final girl, but by the secondary character Kia, played by Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child.
When Kia comes face to face with Freddy Krueger, she doesn't cower in fear -- she mocks him. Freddy Krueger thrives on fear, and by choosing to humiliate him instead, she defangs him quite a bit. She spends much of the movie being mouthy to everyone anyway, so...

Would it be worse for Beyoncé to be mad at you, or just disappointed? While Beyoncé's wrath is likely no fun, for Kelly Rowland, feeling the weight of Beyoncé's disappointment was just as bad. During a July episode of Billy Mann's "Yeah, I F*cked That Up" podcast, Rowland revealed the biggest mistake she ever made during an interview was accidentally revealing the sex of her former Destiny's Child bandmate's first child, Blue Ivy Carter.
Rowland didn't name the outlet she spilled the beans to, but she did share how awful she felt afterwards. "That was the worst moment ever!" she said. "The worst moment ever. It was such a mistake."
The "Dilemma" singer didn't reveal the news on purpose. In fact, it wasn't until the interviewer was talking to her afterwards that she realized she had let Beyoncé and Jay-Z's news slip. At that point, it was too late to backtrack.

Sling TV, the internet-streaming division of Dish Network, is doubling down on free, ad-supported streaming television (Fast) and free, ad-supported VOD — looking to beef up its offering for consumers who balk at paying a monthly subscription fee.
The redubbed Sling Freestream is launching with 210 free channels and 41,000-plus on-demand titles. It’s a rebranding — and expansion— of Sling Free, which has been its free, live TV streaming service with some 150 channels and AVOD selections. In addition, Sling Freestream users can subscribe to more than 50 standalone streaming services, including AMC+, Discovery+, MGM+ and Paramount’s Showtime.
With Freestream, Sling is trying to lower the barrier to entry even further, by eliminating the requirement that users create an account to be able to start streaming free content. And by the end of this spring, Sling Freestream is on track to offer more than 400 channels, said Gary Schanman, group president of Sling TV.
