Rappers Are Starting Swedish Boycott In The Name Of A$AP Rocky - HipHopDX

Twitter – A$AP Rocky is still behind bars in a Swedish jail while prosectors decide whether to charge him with aggravated assault. Meanwhile, his fellow rappers are gearing up for battle and have decided to cross Sweden off their tour schedules indefinitely.

Tyler, The Creator hopped on Twitter to let people know, “no more sweden for me, ever,” while ScHoolboy Q echoed those sentiments with “I’m not goin nomo eitHer…#FLACKO.”

T.I. shared their comments to his Instagram page on Monday (July 8) and captioned it with, “Welp…There it is…Sweden’s now officially outside of the culture on the NO GO list!!! Until they @FreeFlacko it’s UP!!!”

Lil Yachty followed Q’s lead and EarthGang had already joined the boycott via Twitter on Sunday (July 7).

“Me 3 will never hit Sweden again… #freeflacko,” Yachty wrote, while EarthGang tweeted, “#FreeFlacko or we boycotting Sweden.”

Rocky was arrested in Stockholm last Tuesday (July 2), two days after a fight broke out between two groups of men. In video captured of the melee, Rocky and his entourage attack a man who’d been harassing them over a pair of broken headphones.

Authorities are reportedly keeping the Testing rapper for at least two weeks. Swedish prosecutors have already released Rocky’s bodyguard (who was allegedly involved in the fight) due to “insufficient evidence,” but won’t release Rocky.

If convicted, Rocky could face up to six years behind bars. It should be only a matter of time before other artists join in the Swedish boycott. For now, Tip, Tyler and ScHoolboy appear to be leading the charge.

Some of you may have missed her in last year’s BBC production of Little Women. Some of you may have missed her work at Juilliard.

She’s the real thing. #StrangerThings

Disney Star Cameron Boyce Suffered from Epilepsy - TMZ

Exclusive

Disney star Cameron Boyce, who died in his sleep Saturday, suffered from epilepsy ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, Cameron, who starred in "Descendents" and "Grown Ups," suffered a fatal seizure. We're told his roommate found him unresponsive and when paramedics arrived they could not revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

We're told Cameron had been dealing with seizures triggered by his epilepsy. Nonetheless, he was able to work and achieve greatness ... in both TV and movies.

Law enforcement sources says they have characterized it as a "natural death." As bizarre as it sounds -- a 20-year-old dying of a seizure -- the term "natural" refers to conditions in the body which result in death.

Cameron was a working actor since age 11, when he first appeared on the Disney Channel. His credits include "Shake it Up," "Austin and Ally" and "Good Luck Charlie." His breakout role was playing Luke on "Jessie," which ran for 4 seasons.  

Cameron's family said, "The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him."

See Angelina Jolie in Maleficent: Mistress of All Evil Trailer - E! NEWS

Well, well. Once upon a time, the plot turned dark and twisted.

This morning, Disney released the full length trailer for Maleficent: Mistress of All Evil, a continuation of the 2014 Sleeping Beauty prequel, and it's safe to say we're in for a wicked adventure. Angelina Jolie is back as her iconic, horned titular character while Elle Fanning returns as the sweet-natured Princess Aurora. 

The two-minute clip opens with Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson) proposing to Aurora. "Five years ago, I thought I lost you forever," he says. "There is no curse that could ever tear me away from you." Alas, their happy news is hardly met with glee from Maleficent.

"Love doesn't always end well," she warns, later shouting, "This is no union! There will be no wedding!"

A happily ever after isn't the only thing that seems to be tearing apart Maleficent and Aurora. There's also Michelle Pfeiffer's Queen Ingrith⁠—Aurora's soon-to-be mother-in-law—who hopes to unite the neighboring kingdoms at any cost.

Cue the magical war.

Though originally schedule for a May 2020 release, the House of Mouse surprised viewers and announced the live action film would be bumped up to this year.

And, last May, Jolie and Fanning teased fans with the sneak peek they had been craving. "It's bring your mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!!" Fanning captioned a goofy selfie of the duo partially costume.

The sequel will also star Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lesley Manville and Ed Skrein.

Maleficent: Mistress of All Evil hit theaters on October 18. Until then, watch the full trailer above!

'Spider-Man' flies high, but Marvel should slow its post-'Endgame' roll - CNN

Even with "Spider-Man: Far From Home" swinging to another huge opening, Disney's other marquee franchise, Marvel, might want to consider a similar course of action, slowing its roll after "Avengers: Endgame," the operatic culmination of its 10-year plan.

At first blush, that might sound strange. "Spider-Man" opened to generally positive reviews, and in its first week has amassed a bountiful $185 million in North America and nearly $600 million worldwide. That hardly seems like the time to stage a strategic retreat.

Still, piggybacking on the "Avengers" narrative represents an advantage that somewhat muddies the analysis. And the movie's creative shortcomings -- which are not insignificant -- coupled with the challenge of sustaining a massive interlocking "cinematic universe" suggest the major casualties suffered in "Endgame" have left holes in Marvel's merry marching society, which will require a little time to absorb and recover.

Marvel obviously has plenty of arrows left in its quiver, including no-brainer sequels to "Black Panther," "Captain Marvel" and "Guardians of the Galaxy." Whatever weight is pulling down this summer's box office, Marvel has managed to defy that gravity.

The company's catalogue, however, exhibits signs of being stretched, not only in terms of feeding the theatrical beast, but also providing several new limited series featuring high-profile characters for Disney's upcoming streaming service, Disney+.

Like "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "Far From Home" has its moments. But even with a plot that builds off the emotional heft of "Endgame," another mediocre villain (if perhaps better than the Vulture), heavy dose of Disney Channel-level romance and too much clunky shtick involving the adult chaperones made this feel qualitatively more like a middle-weight contender.

Marvel clearly doesn't need to hit the reset button, but the studio would benefit from avoiding the irrational exuberance that contributed to "Solo's" fate -- the sense that anything bearing its logo comes sprinkled with the equivalent of fairy dust.

Plus, with the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Disney/Marvel has assumed control of two signature Marvel properties, Fantastic Four and X-Men, whose movie rights were parceled off years ago, both of which appear ripe for incorporation into the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Such ventures require time and care, the kind that seldom comes from rigidly adhering to a release schedule designed to ensure that Disney can steadily push out consumer products and ensure that its shareholders are the happiest on Earth.

Granted, history has shown that second-guessing Marvel and its chief Kevin Feige has been a sucker bet. The studio enjoys an enviable track record, even with by no means sure things like "Guardians" and "Ant-Man." "Spider-Man's" end credits also hint at new directions, albeit in a cryptic manner.

Even so, this summer pile-up of box-office disappointments elsewhere -- including venerable franchises with "Men in Black: International," "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" and "Dark Phoenix," the latest X-Men movie --provides a cautionary note.

Disney made the right move by cooling its jets when it comes to "Star Wars." As tempting as it is to keep barreling ahead, adopting a similar approach would be prudent as Marvel transitions into its post-"Endgame" phase.

Marvel has thus far looked pretty near invincible. Yet "Spider-Man's" uncertain map for the future and the simple law of averages heighten the risk of getting its wings (or webbing) singed, sooner or later, if it insists on flying so close to the sun.
