Netflix ended up shelling out a lot more than they expected for Amy Schumer’s comedy special after the comedian requested a higher pay day.
The comedian was initially offered $11 million, according to Variety, but later went back to the streaming service and asked for more.
It’s a hefty price tag that Netflix likely regrets considering the March special was a ratings disaster, which Schumer blamed on alt-right trolls at the time.
But while Amy, of course, supports equal pay among the sexes, she says she didn't demand the same pay as Chappelle and Rock, because they're legends and she doesn't deserve the same pay as them.
Alongside a nude photo of herself holding a dog wearing a plush hotdog costume, Schumer thanked fans for “chiming in on what you feel I deserve to be paid.”
Btw, no body shaming can be done here. She looks amazing!
Illustrator James Nathaniel makes some of the strangest photoshopped images I've ever seen. Adorably, uniquely, uncomfortably and not unseeably strange.

I love that the friends even appear to be in childlike...
Markie Mark is officially Richie Rich: The former rapper-turned-actor is Hollywood's highest-paid leading man, earning $68 million pretax in our 12 month scoring period.
The Boston native recorded his highest-ever payday thanks to soaring fees for movies such as Transformers: The Last Knight and the forthcoming Daddy's Home 2. The former may have scored a miserable 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the lowest gross of the franchise to date, but Wahlberg need not worry--fixed compensa...

The George & Amal Clooney Foundation has bestowed a $1 million grant through the Clooney Foundation for Justice.

Another woman has come forward with explosive allegations against R. Kelly, just one month after rumors began swirling that the R&B singer is holding several women in a “cult.”
Jerhonda Pace, 24, told Buzzfeed she was 16 when her sexual relationship with R. Kelly began in 2009. A year before, she said she attended the R&B singer’s child pornography trial and was quoted in the news defending Kelly — who was acquitted of the charges.
“I didn’t have anybody to speak...

The NASA Total Eclipse site is one of the better out there to make sure you're getting the most accurate information.
I've spoken to several grown ass people in the last couple weeks who think the whole "don't look at the sun" talk is nothing but a bubbameise (old wives tale) that has no real basis in reality. And they plan on looking up to watch the 75% of totality we're expecting to see here in the NE of the States.
Another man, father of 2, wasn't even aware the even was happening. ...
Page Six is reporting Kanye West and pal Kid Cudi are working on something top secret in Japan.
The two share more than a love of music. Both spent time in medical facilities recently for mental health issues. West — who’s been keeping a low profile since his breakdown last year — has been holed up in a studio with Cudi, who checked himself into rehab last fall for “depression and suicidal urges.” At around the same time, West was hospitalized for a reported “nervous breakdown...
