Madonna, the iconic “Queen of Pop,” stands at a height of 5ft 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm) with a peak height of 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm).

The Impact of Height in Celebrity Self-Perception: Madonna’s Perspective
She once mentioned feeling like a “shrimp” in an interview due to her height, although she believed it was average. For context, the average American woman typically has a height of around 5 feet 4 inches.
I’ve always wanted to be taller. I feel like a shrimp, but that’s the way it goes. I’m five-foot four-and-a-half-inches – that’s actually average. Everything about me is average. Everything’s normal, in the books. It’s the things inside me that make me not average.

It has been often seen in several movies and series that people of color (usually people of African heritage) spot a braided hairstyle. Alongside the braided hairstyle, an almost bald look or a one-side cut is also often seen with these characters.
People might call it stereotypical and even borderline racism, but this was the norm during the early 2000s. Well, with the animated series X-Men: Evolution, one character was almost about to suffer the same fate until the executive producers decided to step in and change it to something unique.

After earning seven Academy Awards for his latest opus, Oppenheimer, everyone wants to know what Christopher Nolan will be doing next. The short answer, of course, is anything he wants. But, buried within a Variety report about how much the director earned for Oppenheimer is a juicy tidbit teasing he might be directing an adaptation of the classic ’60s series The Prisoner! Widely considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time, it starred Patrick McGoohan (who was also the creative mind behind the show) as an unnamed British spy dumped on an island prison for those who were too valuable to be allowed to roam free. Dubbed “The Village”, the former spies don’t have names, but are rather known by their numbers. He’s known as Number 6, with Number 2 being in charge of the never-seen Number 1. The series plays like a psychedelic, cerebral James Bond movie, meaning...

Say this for Mitch Lowe, the former CEO of MoviePass: He may have helped destroy a briefly beloved brand and he may be awaiting trial on fraud charges stemming from that destruction, but he sat down for interviews for Muta’Ali’s upcoming HBO documentary MoviePass, MovieCrash and he gives what might be my favorite quote illustrating the true nature of capitalism.
Discussing the wave of out-of-control spending and public exuberance that preceded MoviePass’ fall — MoviePass-branded helicopters were landing at Coachella and Dennis Rodman was being trotted out in red hats while the offices were running out of supplies and seven customer service reps were handling countless complaints — Lowe says, without any evident self-awareness: “I sensed a resentment by the MoviePass employees. Each individual has their various roles and not all roles get to party.”
“Not all roles get to party.”
Man, that’s good.

One of the biggest stories in pop culture of 2023 was the fall of Jonathan Majors. After a strong rise that saw him star in The Last Black Man in San Francisco (one of the best films of 2019) and a collab with Spike Lee, he went on to have just about the most impressive start to a year that we can remember: leading Sundance sensation Magazine Dreams, landing the post-Thanos Marvel threat of Kang and stepping into the ring for Creed III. Before the year ended, Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment, with projects being yanked and his career in Hollywood in serious question.
While Jonathan Majors would say he was “shocked” at the verdict, many weren’t, particularly the numerous women who have come forward declaring that the actor had a history with violent behavior. In a recent piece in The New York Times, the women who...

Jonathan Majors’ sentencing date has been delayed until April 8 after his defense team filed a motion to set aside the verdict.
The Creed III actor was convicted in December of reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The charges carry a potential sentence of up to one year in prison. The sentencing was initially set to take place Tuesday. Majors appeared virtually for the hearing, in which prosecutors said they needed time to respond to the motion, which was filed Monday.
The charges stem from an incident on March 25 between Majors and his ex-partner Grace Jabbari. Jabbari testified that while the two were riding in a car, she saw a text on his phone suggesting he was cheating on her and grabbed it from him. She said the actor then injured her, including prying her finger from the phone...

Updated, 11:33 Am: (Updated further with Da statement) Jonathan Majors must wait until April to find out whether or not he is going to jail for his domestic violence convictions.
After a delayed and brief hearing that just endedTuesday, Judge Michael Gaffey told his Manhattan courtroom that the Creed III star will be back April 8 to learn his fate. While prosecutors and Majors’ defense team were in court in person, Majors appeared virtually for the five-minute session.
Majors was arrested last spring in New York after a chauffeured car ride with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari turned into a violent argument that spilled into the street.
Convicted of reckless assault and harassment by a jury on December 18, Majors faces a sentence that could range from probation to a year behind bars as a first-time offender in a misdemeanor case.

Jonathan Majors’ Magazine Dreams is officially back on the market. Nearly a year after Searchlight Pictures acquired the body-building drama, the specialty arm of Walt Disney Studios has quietly returned rights of the movie to the filmmakers, who will now shop it to other buyers.
The move comes mere weeks after Majors was convicted of assault and harassment, stemming from an incident involving his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari. Searchlight delivered the news to the Magazine Dreams team late last week that it would not be releasing the film, according to sources.
Searchlight had no comment.
Magazine Dreams debuted to fanfare last January at Sundance, where Majors’ performance as amateur body builder Killian Maddox earned him rave reviews and early awards buzz. The film’s director, Elijah Bynum, was hailed as the next big director.
Searchlight bought the film for what sources say was around $2 million in February 2023. It was mapping out a late-year awards season campaign.

A year after the Jonathan Majors disturbed-bodybuilder drama Magazine Dreams took Sundance by storm, the pic is now back in the hands of its filmmakers and being shopped, Deadline has confirmed.
Searchlight acquired the hot title last year out of Park City for an estimated seven figures; the movie, an 84% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, originally intended as a 2023 awards contender for Majors and its director Elijah Bynum.
However, after the actor and booming marquee star was accused by his girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, of assault in March, the Disney owned indie label pulled the movie from its early December release in October 2023. The rights are now back in the hands of the filmmakers.
Majors was convicted of assault and harassment and is awaiting sentencing on Feb. 6.
The Creed III headliner was also recently dropped from the Dennis Rodman Chicago Bulls movie, 48 Hours in Vegas, which Liosngate also stepped away from.

“Magazine Dreams,” directed by Elijah Bynum, debuted to positive reviews at the festival and sold for a reported mid-seven figures. Majors was hailed for his performance as amateur body builder Killian Maddox.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise, but THR reports that Searchlight has dropped Magazine Dreams, the acclaimed body-building drama starring Jonathan Majors.
Searchlight snatched up Magazine Dreams fresh after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last year. The film stars Majors as an amateur bodybuilder who struggles with severe psychological issues while dreaming of stardom. The buzz was very positive and looked to be a possible awards contender for Majors… but that all came crashing down when the actor faced allegations of assault and harassment which he was ultimately found guilty of.

Searchlight Pictures has dropped “Magazine Dreams” starring Jonathan Majors and returned the film’s rights to the filmmakers, who intend to again shop it on the open market, IndieWire has confirmed.
Searchlight acquired the movie out of last year’s Sundance Film Festival and slated it for release during awards season, but pulled it from its release calendar after Majors was arrested on March 25 for assault and harassment roughly a month after “Magazine Dreams” was acquired.
Majors last month was found guilty of assault, leading Disney to fire him from his duties as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the time, THR reported it was unlikely “Magazine Dreams” would ever be released by Searchlight, even directly to streaming on Hulu. But rather than sit on a shelf, the film has a chance to see the light of day elsewhere should the filmmakers find an interested buyer.
Searchlight had no comment.

After nearly one year under Disney’s Searchlight banner, the buzzy drama “Magazine Dreams” starring Jonathan Majors has found itself suddenly back on the market. Searchlight Pictures, the specialty division of Walt Disney Studios, has discreetly returned the rights for the bodybuilding film to its producers, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
With Searchlight now out of the picture, the filmmakers will try to court new buyers and distributors for the indie project. The reversal marks a turn for a movie that initially seemed headed for Disney’s arthouse pipeline in 2023.
The decision came after Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment in his New York domestic violence case. The “Creed III” actor was accused of physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend in March. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 6.

Jonathan Majors has been let go from the Dennis Rodman feature 48 Hours in Vegas, and Lionsgate is no longer developing the film, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The news comes ahead of a Feb. 6 sentencing for Majors on assault and harassment convictions stemming from an incident involving ex-partner Grace Jabbari in March.
Hours after Majors was found guilty in December, Disney dropped the actor as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. THR reported earlier this week that his movie Magazine Dreams, which was the toast of the Sundance Film Festival last year, is unlikely to get a release from Searchlight.
Lord Miller is behind 48 Hours in Vegas, which features a script from Jordan VanDina that focuses on Rodman taking a mind-clearing trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals. The getaway was featured in the Michael Jordan-centric ESPN docuseries The Last Dance that aired in 2020.

Jonathan Majors will no longer play Dennis Rodman in an upcoming movie, a source tells CNN. According to the outlet, the actor has not officially been dropped from the project -- which is tentatively titled "48 Hours in Vegas" -- yet, but sources say the movie is being shopped around without Majors attached after the initial version in development seemed poised to go over budget. As one source put it, "I cannot imagine a world where this moves forward with Jonathan."
Majors was a rising star in recent years, earning praise for his roles in projects like "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," "Creed III," and "Da 5 Bloods" and nabbing a massive role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as overarching villain Kang the Conqueror. But in March 2023, Majors was arrested for a domestic violence incident and later found guilty of assault and harassment.

48 Hours In Vegas takes audiences on “Rodman’s madcap adventure with his skittish assistant Gm and will detail a budding friendship that neither one of them ever thought was possible but will end up solving both of the problems.” The project was originally set up at Lionsgate, but sources have said that the studio has released it back to the producers. Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Aditya Sood are producing for Lord Miller, with Ari Lubet, Will Allegra, and Dennis Rodman executive producing. Jordan VanDina (The Binge) penned the script.
In a statement when the project was announced in 2021, Lord and Miller said: “Dennis refused to follow the herd.

Marvel Studios has parted ways with Jonathan Majors — the actor cast to play Kang, the central antagonist in the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — after he was convicted on Dec. 18 of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault of Grace Jabbari, his ex-girlfriend. A source close to the studio confirmed the decision to Variety.
In the verdict, Majors was also found not guilty of one count of intentional assault in the third degree and one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree.
The actor was arrested on March 25 on assault and harassment charges, after Jabbari accused Majors of assaulting her in the backseat of a private car after she took his phone to read a text message he’d received from another woman. Jabbari alleged that Majors forcefully retrieved his phone from her, causing an “excruciating” injury to her right middle finger, and when she exited the car,...

It was “Trolls” night on “The Masked Singer” this week and, just like you can’t stop the feeling, you also can’t stop an elimination from coming. So, that meant the end of the road for another contestant — the largest contestant ever, in fact.
Of course, we’re talking about the costume itself, not the man underneath it. Wednesday night’s episode introduced the final wild card, with Cuddle Monster busting out of a cage and the panelists marveling at just how big the monster was.
Panelist Jenny McCarthy immediately noted she was getting vibes that an athlete was under the mask, and in the end, she was right. Because, at the end of the night, Cuddle Monster was revealed to be … Metta Sandiford-Artest, formerly known as Metta World Peace.

Metta World Peace knows he’s not a great singer, but “The Masked Singer” is the one place where you can get away with it. Well, one of two places.
“The only place you’re really allowed to sing if you’re not a singer, is the shower and ‘The Masked Singer,’” the former NBA star told Variety. “I had the perfect excuse. So, I really don’t want to hear anything from anybody saying ‘Metta can’t sing, was he trying to come out with an album?’ Nope, I was on ‘The Masked Singer.’ And I get a pass.”

Nick Kyrgios is a special figure on the Atp Tour, not-so-often-seen type of a tennis player, and that's why man compare him to NBA's Dennis Rodman.
Throughout his ten-year professional tennis career, the Australian proved many times that he's one of the best players on the Atp Tour. On top of that, he's also one of the best entertainers, and during his long hiatus, many call for Kyrgios' return .
However, that is not yet happening, as Kyrgios remains sidelined, and most probably, we won't see him step onto the tennis court until 2024. That's also one of the reasons, why the Australian now has time to dedicate his time to different activities than hitting a ball on the tennis court, and one of those was also an appearance on Mike Tyson's podcast.

Tom Sandoval isn't as slick as he thinks. "The Masked Singer" recently released the first clues for some of its tenth season's new characters. Although there are 16 mystery celebrity singers set to compete in the upcoming episodes, one character in particular might've already given himself away. Under the alias the Diver (because "The Worm" might have been too obvious), the not-so secretive performer shared hints that almost certainly point to the "Vanderpump Rules" star: a man whose impressive reality television villainy is rivaled only by his devastating impact on the white nail polish industry.
Sandoval stirred up controversy after cheating on his longtime partner, Ariana Madix, with one of her close friends, Raquel Leviss. The revelation occurred during the reality show's most recent tenth season. Since then, the fallout and continued dishonesty damaged Sandoval's reputation, branding him as a "worm with a mustache," in the eternal words of his castmate James Kennedy.

Takehiko Inoue’s classic manga spinoff has magnificent on-court scenes, but doesn’t quite sink the backstory
At the climax of this basketball-worshipping anime that was a huge hit across Asia earlier this year, the whole of space-time apparently comes to rest on a single bead of sweat departing the chin of one of the players. The entire universe is contained on a single court as Shohoku high school, whose five motley ballers were the main characters in the original manga, which ran between 1990-96, challenge the invincible national champions, Sannoh high. Fleshed out in 3D animation, the action – feinting, pivoting and occasionally soaring high above the stands – feels resplendently immediate.
Chaperoned by its original creator, Takehiko Inoue, after spending eons in development hell, this adaptation relegates Dennis Rodman-esque, red-cropped bad-boy Hanamichi (voiced here by Subaru Kimura) in favour of the more sensitive Ryōta (Shugo Nakemura) as protagonist. Ryōta...

True, he’s lived close to the company’s Market Square headquarters in San Francisco since 2020, and regularly uses the app — as an independent journalist it’s a convenient way for him to make connections and promote his work. But then Musk tried to rebrand Twitter as “X,” and Beale was thrust into the spotlight. Literally.

Takehiko Inoue’s “The First Slam Dunk” isn’t exactly the first movie ever made about a scrappy high school basketball team struggling to overcome their shared differences and personal demons in time for the big game against their undefeated rivals. It’s a tale as old as time, and one that Inoue himself has already told at great length over the course of a beloved manga that ran in “Weekly Shōnen Jump” from 1990 until 1996 — a manga he would revisit as the source material for his directorial debut some 30 years later.
But this blockbuster rookie effort, which arrives in the States having already become the fifth-highest grossing anime feature of all time, is such a fun and thrilling crowd-pleaser because it uses the hoariest tropes of its sub-genre as an alley-oop for one of the most formally ambitious and emotionally layered sports dramas to hit screens in the decades since Inoue stepped onto the court.

Inoue Takehiko’s epic sports anime The First Slam Dunk begins with a showdown between two high school basketball teams: Shohoku’s scrappy over-achievers and Sannoh’s well-oiled winning machine. We don’t know any of the players involved yet or what this match really means to them. All we get is the game itself—and it’s one hell of a spectacle.
Adapted by Inoue from his own manga series, the film uses a mixture of computer-generated and hand-drawn animation to capture the explosive physicality of basketball. The players’ movements are fluid and lifelike, with just a little extra oomph added to their more ostentatious moments. And the film’s sound design is enveloping, neatly mimicking the sound of a ball as it rolls off a player’s fingertips and lending a seismic boom to each slam dunk.
The film’s hyperkinetic style turns Shohoku and Sannoh’s showdown into an exhilarating experience.
Adapted by Inoue from his own manga series, the film uses a mixture of computer-generated and hand-drawn animation to capture the explosive physicality of basketball. The players’ movements are fluid and lifelike, with just a little extra oomph added to their more ostentatious moments.

It isn't uncommon for the children of celebrities to follow in their footsteps, whether it be as actors or as athletes. Soccer star Trinity Rodman's last name may ring a bell - the youngest person to ever be drafted in the Nwsl is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman. Dennis is best known for his legendary defense and rebounding with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, among other teams.
At 21 years old, Trinity has already established a name for herself separate from her famous dad. She was drafted by the Washington Spirit in the 2021 Nwsl draft when she was 18, and just two years later, she is one of 14 newcomers on the United States women's national soccer team for the 2023 World Cup, per Time.

What’s one more tattoo for Dennis Rodman? Well, this latest one is on his face!
The NBA great took to Instagram on Friday to share that he got the face of his girlfriend, Yella Yella, tattooed on his right cheek. It’s prime real estate on his face, for sure. But the gesture was no big deal for the five-time NBA champion. In fact, when he took to Instagram to post a snippet of the tat sesh, Rodman’s caption read, “Why Not .”
In the video you can see Rodman and the tattoo artist getting ready to lay down the ink. The end result? A spitting image of his girlfriend on his face. Yella Yella, who is an aspiring artist, actually wasn’t down with the tat at all. At least not at first.
The former Chicago Bull star told TMZ Sports that his girlfriend wasn’t the one...

Showtime quietly pulled an episode of its Vice newsmagazine last week — one that featured a report on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ time as a U.S. Navy lawyer serving at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba.
The episode, the fourth in Vice’s fourth season, had been slated to air May 28. Showtime pulled the episode, however, and is now referring to the June 4 installment as episode four of the season. Repeat programming aired in place of the shelved episode on May 28.
Mentions of the originally scheduled episode, titled “The Gitmo Candidate & Chipping Away,” have been scrubbed from Showtime’s website and press portal. An email sent to press May 24 noted that a screener of the episode was available; however, on May 30, a follow-up email noted a different installment, titled “Detransitioners & Draining the Drc,” as episode four.
No reason was given as to why the episode was pulled. “We don’t comment on scheduling decisions,...

As Vice Media, the brash company that once had ambitions of replacing legacy news giants, files for bankruptcy protection, with $834 million in debt obligations, its finances are coming into focus.
While its largest creditors include Fortress Investment Group (with a $474.6 million claim), there’s several media companies that are listed as top unsecured creditors that aren’t insiders, as outlined in its filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for Southern District of New York on Monday. The filing estimates there are more than 5,000 creditors. Given that Vice lists $350 million in assets, many creditors are likely to take a loss during Chapter 11 proceedings.
