Alex Delaware novels head to Fox, Twisted Broadway Melbourne turns “Big Spender” gay, Scott Lively loves Vladimir Putin
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is looking to create a Russian league, but their head, Dana White, is unaware of the gay propaganda laws in the country. White has had an odd relationship with gays, once uttering a slur, but since has been extremely supportive of the Glbt community in the league. But when looking to invest millions in Russia, and asked about the impact of the law on his group, he says ”No, I know nothing about it.”
The Labor Day box office is too close to call. One Direction: This Is Us will definitely take the three day crown, but for the full holiday weekend, The Butler may win for the third time, as concert movies are notoriously front loaded on ticket sales.
