Tom Hiddleston & Aaron Paul - Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

The revelation of Hiddleswift/Swiddleston late Wednesday might have landed more like a anvil than anything else, but at least now there"s more conclusive evidence that THIS IS REALLY HAPPENINGand has, apparently, been happening for a while.

While promoting the Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light, Hiddleston discussed what it was like waving his arms around like one of those windsock men at the Met Gala while his now-kissing-in-picturesque-places partner did the same.

"I sat next to her at dinner that night and she"s very charming, she"s amazing," he said. "I"ve seen a couple of her videos. I think "Shake It Off" was released around the time we made I Saw the Light. And she"s very cool."

Spoken like a true dude who would go on to take selfies with her on a craggy outcropping.

Forthcoming Documentary Fights Cultural Erasure in Oakland


6/14/16: Rangers outmuscle the A"s 10-6 in Oakland
Earlier this week, the Community Rejuvenation Project (CRP), a local arts nonprofit, released a trailer and crowdfunding campaign for its anticipated documentary, Alice Street. The film recounts the genesis of a mural that has thrust public art into the forefront of its neighborhoods gentrification debate.

Nestled at the crossroads of Oaklands Chinatown district and the Afro-diasporic community based at the adjacent Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Performing Arts, the CRP mural aimed to capture the neighborhoods historic intersectionality. The art, which celebrates artists and folk traditions from both cultural enclaves, has been hailed as a beacon of resilience in the face of heightening community displacement due to gentrification.Oakland muralists Pancho Peskador and Desi Mundo were commissioned in 2010 to paint the three blighted walls surrounding a parking lot at 1401 Alice Street. The artists filmed extensive interviews with both Chinese-American and Black residents to understand their respective communities histories of out-group discrimination and personal experiences of cultural perseverance.

These oral histories, along with twenty-five days of time-lapse videography showing the murals installation and footage of the Malonga Center community meetings and performances that fostered the murals conception, were the nascent vision of director Spencer Wilkinsons documentary.

But then the tangible reality of Oaklands gentrification problem presented itself directly in front of the Alice Street mural.

As the Express has previously reported, only three-months after the mural"scompletion, CRP leaders learned of plans to develop a 126-unit condominium complex in a privately-owned parking lot in front of the artwork. The mural, which cost $80,000 in grant money from the City of Oakland and community crowdfunding, would be entirely obscured.

The film follows the community polemic launched in response to the development and the wider dialogue surrounding housing inequity in the region. The Alice Street mural has become a chief symbol of cultural resilience in a neighborhood that is being threatened by Oaklands displacement crisis.

Alice Street is scheduled to premiere in October 2016. But the filmmakers are currently fundraising the cost of post-production in order to complete it. They aim to raise $12,000, the first $8,000 of which will be matched by the East Bay Community Foundation. Contribute to the Generosity page here or watch the trailer below.

Kim Kardashian recounts new details about O.J. Simpson garment bag mystery


The Overlooked O.J. Simpson Theory

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding the O.J. Simpson trial revolves around the murder weapon. To this day, authorities have been unable to locate the knife that was believed to be used in the killings of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Over the past 22 years, there have been several conspiracy theories that have emerged surrounding the knife. One of the most famous -- and unproven -- involves Robert Kardashian and a mysterious bag that may or may not have contained the murder weapon.

On June 13, 1994, the day after the murders, Kardashian took a Louis Vuitton garment bag from Simpson"s residence.

When the bag was eventually introduced into evidence during the trial in March 1995, it was empty. However, the New York Times noted in 1995 that it was "bulging" when Kardashian left Simpson"s home on June 13.

To this day, Ron Goldman"s dad, Fred, believes that whatever was in the bag would"ve convicted Simpson.

"That evidence would have convicted "the killer,"" Fred told the Daily Mail in 2014.

The Goldmans claimed that Kardashian only joined Simpson"s legal team so that he wouldn"t have to testify at the trial.

Robert Kardashian"s famous daughter, Kim, is well aware of all of these rumors, and she took some time to try and clear them up during a recent interview with GQ.

"I know people said at the time that [my dad joined Simpson"s defense team] so he couldn"t be called as a witness, because he had that Louis Vuitton bag that supposedly had the [murder] weapon and stuff like that, but that bag was sitting at my dad"s house," Kim said. "I remember I went through it. The news was like, "Where is this Louis Vuitton bag?" And I"m like, "Oh, it"s upstairs.""

Kim, who was 13 at the time, says that curiosity eventually got the best of her and she "totally" went through the bag.

So was there a murder weapon in it?

Nope.

"Just toiletries and clothes and golf clothes. Just random stuff. I"m pretty sure it"s, like, still in -- probably in my dad"s storage," Kim said.

There you go, mystery solved.

Although Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003, was never asked about the mysterious bag during the trial (he didn"t testify), he was asked about the bag during a 1996 interview with Barbara Walters.

"I went to O.J."s house just to support him," Kardashian said in 1996. "I just was standing there when he pulled up and walked right in."

Simpson had a garment bag because he had just arrived back in Los Angeles after spending the night in Chicago. Apparently, one of Simpson"s assistants was trying to figure out what to do with the bag, per the ABC report.

"I was raised to be a gentleman, I walked over and I said, "Let me hold that for you,"" Kardashian said. "And then I walked up to the policeman standing guarding Rockingham and I said, "I have Mr. Simpson"s luggage." And he said, "You can"t come in." I said, "But it"s his luggage will you take it?" And he said, "No, you can"t come in.""

Police searched the bag before it came into his possession, Robert Kardashian said in the interview.

"The bag was sitting, lying open in Mr. Simpson"s bedroom in my home," Robert said. "The police were here, searched his room and the bag was lying open, just the way it was when he left."

Robert also added in the interview that the police could have seized possession of the bag "at any time."

"The police could have taken it [the bag] at any time. They never sought to do so," Robert said. "In fact when we turned it into the court nine months later they still never did any tests to see if there was blood. I don"t believe they really wanted to know the answer. I think it was better to leave speculation. And to let the public think there was something sinister about these bags."

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication [Official Music Video]

Somewhere between not stopping and being addicted to the shindig, Anthony Kiedis says he performed an incredible humanitarian feat while shooting for James Cordens Late Late Show.

In an interview with Radio X host Chris Moyles, the Red Hot Chili Peppers singer said he helped revive a baby that had stopped breathing simply by rubbing its belly. Kiedis and Corden had just filmed a dance-off (which didnt make the episodes final cut) when a woman came out of her house holding a baby, shouting that it couldnt breathe.

We all ran across the street, the lady thrust her baby into my arms, the baby was not breathing, and I thought, Im gonna try and do a little baby CPR real quick, see if I can get some air in this kid, Kiedis explained on the radio show. I tried to open the mouth, [it was] locked shut. So I started rubbing the belly, bubbles came out of the mouth, the eyes rolled back into place.

Argentina vs. Bolivia Copa America Predictions, Preview, Schedule, Live Stream As Messi Looks to Continue Dominating


Argentina vs Bolivia 3-0 EXTENDED 14/6/2016 ■ HD

First Posted: Jun 12, 2016 04:20 PM EDT

Argentina looks to lock up the top spot in Group D when it faces Bolivia on Tuesday in the Copa America.

This game is only really important for Argentina and even then the team might not have to put in its best shift. Thanks to two victories, Argentina has already clinched a spot in the next round. The fact that it won 5-0 in its recent game against Panama means that the team would need to see Chile win by a massive margin to walk away with the top spot in Group D.

Bolivia meanwhile has nothing to play for, losing against Chile in the 10thminute (!) of stoppage time in its game on Friday. It was the second straight game in which the team faltered late in the game and wound up losing 2-1.

Messi the Great

Argentina"s big story in its 5-0 win was the return of captain Lionel Messi. Messi was arguably the most hyped aspect of this entire tournament with American fans scouring Soldiers Field just to see the Barcelona legend and arguably best player in the world come to play. He did not feature in the Chile game on Monday though it was expected that he would factor into this game.

Coach Gerardo Martino opted for leaving him on the bench to start the game and bring him on later to potentially put the game away. He did just that, scoring two goals in 20 minutes and eventually adding a hat trick before he had played for 30 minutes on the field. As if that was not enough, he made a brilliant long range pass that set up the final Argentina goal.

It is possible that Messi winds up resting up in the Bolivia game as well. With nothing on the line, Messi could start on the bench or be subbed off once Argentina is in control of the result it desires. Messi has a ton of mileage, as does most of this Argentina side, having contested two finals in the last two summers. If it intends on a similar run, the team needs to rest its top stars.

Player to Watch

After the performance he gave on Friday, Messi is undeniably the man to keep an eye out for. He is a man on a mission and he clearly wants to add some Argentina trophy to his cabinet and get rid of the label of choke artist for his country. If he plays the way he did in the Panama game, then Argentina will have no trouble in this match.

History Favors Argentina

Argentina has dominated Bolivia throughout their histories, winning 26 contests, drawing five and only losing six. Argentina is currently on a three-game winning streak against Bolivia, with all three victories coming in the last year; the aggregate score for those games has been 14-0.

Prediction

Argentina continues its strong display, destroying Bolivia 4-0.

Start Time and Streaming Info

The game starts at 10 p.m. and can be viewed on either Fox Sports 1 or Univision. Those with a FuboTV subscription can also catch the action on their mobile devices.
