Rapper Rich The Kid Is Looking For A Professional Blunt Roller And The Job Pays Very, Very Well
Will Smith Battles Himself In 'Gemini Man'
LOS ANGELES, CA – Will Smith is fighting the ulti- mate enemy, himself, in the new trailer for the Ang Lee- directed movie Gemini Man.
The trailer for the futuris- tic sci-fi action-drama was re- leased Tuesday, April 23, by Paramount Pictures and Sky- dance Media. Scored to a sin- ister rendition of Alphaville’s “Forever Young,” the Acad- emy Award nominee goes toe-to-toe with a 25-year-old version of himself.
“The emotional and phys-

ical challenges of making this film have been the most de- manding of my career,” Smith told The Wrap. The film had been shelved by Walt Disney Studio in 1997 languishing for years until the technology to render the same actor decades apart was possible.
The cast also includes
Clive Owen, Mary Eliza- beth Winstead and Bene- dict Wong.
Gemini Man will open in theaters October 11.
Saturday was 4/20—a.k.a the weed number—an inter- national holiday where peo- ple with an affinity for Baja jackets, the music of Sublime, and a tendency to routinely smoke copious amounts of marijuana on a regular basis are briefly given an excuse to do so without being overly judged.
While I’m not sure how Rich the Kid feels about drug rugs and 90s ska, I do know the rapper is a fan of marijuana and marijuana products and he expressed his appreciation for the drug over the weekend while at- tending a festival being thrown in its honor.
Mr. Kid decided to cele- brate the occasion by rolling up a fat blunt (as is tradition) and was in the middle of the delicate operation when he had a realization: he’s far too semi-famous to be doing that shit himself.
As a result, he decided to rectify the situation by post- ing a job offer in the form of a video where he announced he’s in the hunt for someone
RICH THE KID
who can join him on tour to perform one simple task: rolling mad blunts.
Here’s what he had to say: “I got $5,000 for a blunt roller to come on tour with me, ’cause I shouldn’t be rolling up on 4/20 myself. So, if you trying to, damn, roll up, let me know.”
The rapper reaffirmed his offer after replying to a tweet concerning it and it was only a matter of time until the ap- plications started to roll (get it?) in.
Michael Jackson Broadway Musical Is Still In The Works, Even After Leaving Neverland
The Michael Jackson Broadway musical is still in the works—even in the wake of Leaving Neverland, the shocking HBO documentary that re-examined pedophilia allegations against the late singer.
In a new interview with The New York Times, play- wright Lynn Nottage and director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon shared that they are still working on the musical, though they were cautious about saying whether Leav- ing Neverland may impact how they approach the story.
“The recent documentary is very believable, but our po- sition in making this show is that we’re trying to make a show that’s balanced,” Wheeldon said. “So I don’t know that I have a definitive answer for you. Those are questions that we’re asking in our process.”
In another recent interview

with the Daily Mail, Not- tage said she believed the testimonies made by James Safechuck and Wade Robson, both of whom claimed in Leaving Never- land that Jackson sexually molested them from their childhood into their teen years. (Jackson repeatedly denied allegations of sexual abuse when he was alive; he was acquitted on pedophilia charges after a trial in 2005.) In the Times interview, Not- tage hedged that previous
statement about the testi- monies. “It’s really hard to traffic in absolutes,” she said. “Do I believe he was a pe- dophile? I don’t know that I can say one way or the other. I don’t think any of us can say with absolute certainty, be- cause we’ve been presented with some information, but Michael Jackson is dead; he’s not in a position to de- fend himself. It does hurt my heart to think about the pos- sibility that it could be true, and I pray that it isn’t true."

JONESBORO, GA – Off- set was reportedly slapped with a felony gun charge stemming from his 2018 Georgia arrest. According to TMZ, prosecutors filed three charges against the Migos rapper in February after he was busted for an illegal lane change last July.
As police approached the car, they said it reeked of marijuana, which prompted them to do a search. They found three guns, marijuana
