Election Flop Kanye West New Music

KANYE WEST: BAD START FOR 2O21

The holidays were not quite what Kanye West was hoping for. He’s been missing in action since the November election and surprised fans on Christmas day by suddenly releasing new music. Gospel music. It’s a five song 12 minute EP for streaming called Emmanuel, performed by his Sunday Services choir. According to Showbiz 411’s Roger Friedman, it’s been basically IGNORED. What’s more, some of the Sunday Services singers are suing him for payment. Was it the timing or is Kanye wearing out his welcome? His wife Kim has not featured him in any of the family holiday photos on social media – and he wasn’t seen in Aspen with them. Maybe losing the election and a flop record are more than his ego can handle…

AUSTRALIA IS LOADED WITH JOHN TRAVOLTA FANS

Four bombs in a row have landed John Travolta,65, on the celebrity fan-fest Comic-Con circuit in Australia. His last film, The Fanatic, failed in August, but the biggest flop of his entire career was Gotti, in 2018. Fortunately, the Grease star just had a profitable two weeks in Australia at fan conventions – charging $500 for an autographed photo or $250 for a selfie with fans. In several cities he also arranged “An Evening with John Travolta” meet and greet appearances where he talked about his career and answered audience questions. Between shows, John took his kids Ben, 8, and Ella, 19, to Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney to visit the animals.

Flop Hair! John Travolta

JOHN TRAVOLTA HAS THE LOOK OF A BAD GUY

John Travolta arrived at his hotel in Sanremo, Italy, for the first time without hair! Looks like he’s trying to make up for it by growing an abundance of fur on his face. Italians love him and John has had a tough year. His Gotti and Speed Kills movies were gigantic flops – but he redeemed himself by ditching the wigs and going bald. We have a feeling he’ll be playing lots of villains from now on…

Flop Host Katy Perry MTV Video Music Awards

WHAT DID YOU REALLY THINK OF KATY PERRY AS MTV VIDEO AWARDS HOST?

Katy Perry gave us a lot to look at while hosting the VMA Awards – a total of TEN different outfits – all of them okay, but not drop dead brilliant. What was REALLY awkward was Katy’s monologue and commentary between award introductions. She tried to toss off some jokes, but the audience just FROZE and squirmed and didn’t laugh at all. In fact they looked bored while she was speaking. Audience close-ups revealed nothing but YAWNS! It was repeatedly embarrassing but Katy carried on. It makes one wonder – did writers DESERT her? When a stand-up comic hosts, we can depend on a lot of timely laughs because they have great writers. What happened to Katy? She TRIED, but she flopped big time as a spontaneous host. Looks aren’t EVERYTHING.

Flop Sacha Baron Cohen The Brothers Grimsby Women

THE REAL REASON THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY IS A FLOP

We are among those who think Borat was the smartest, funniest, and most original movie EVER. Borat’s hilarious psychological torment of well-meaning Americans is genius. And hard to live up to. Sacha Baron Cohen’s movies have been gradually becoming less interesting. The Brothers Grimsby has been publicized to death by the energetic Cohen, to no avail. Why? Because Cohen LOST HIS FEMALE AUDIENCE. His comedy degenerated from Borat’s brilliant satire on politically correct behavior to raunchy bathroom humor aimed at the teenage boy audience of Adam Sandler. Not to mention the fact that Grimsby is all about sports, action, and guns. Sacha Baron Cohen lost his most faithful core audience – women. As it turns out, the girls AND the boys went to see 10 Cloverfield Lane…

Flop Paula Patton Robin Thicke

ROBIN THICKE PUTS ON A HAPPY FACE AS FEMALE FANS DESERT HIM IN DROVES!

Last summer Robin Thicke was riding high on the success of “Blurred Lines.” Maybe TOO high. Rumors and photos that indicated he was cheating on his wife started popping up. Last March his wife Paula Patton announced they were separating after 9 years of marriage and one child. Robin’s female fans were NOT amused. He’s made a big deal out of trying to publicly win his wife back. His new album is called “Paula” and in one song “The Opposite of Me” he admits he’s a cheater and not a nice guy and doesn’t seem the least bit sorry. The song is a flop and his album is tanking. His fans liked Robin better when he was good to his wife. Like we told you, Robin inherited his father’s cheating gene.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Boxoffice Flop Jason Statham Sylvester Stallone

TOUGH GUYS STALLONE, ARNOLD, AND STATHAM – TIME TO RETHINK YOUR CAREERS?

It’s no secret that we are NOT fond of action movies, so we were fascinated to see that Sylvester Stallone’s “Bullet to the Head” was a flop this weekend. Especially since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “The Last Stand” and Jason Statham’s “Parker” also failed miserably at the box office recently. Is this a trend? We sure hope so. We have always lamented the beautiful cars that are routinely wrecked in such movies. Not to mention the gunfire, deafening explosions, and bloody deaths. But worst of all were the egos of the leading men engaged in these activities. Even vampires are preferable to those testosterone fueled “strong silent types.”

American Idol Flop Mariah Carey Recording

MARIAH CAREY IS THANKING HER LUCKY STARS THAT AMERICAN IDOL CAME ALONG

#mariahcarey #janetcharlton

It turns out Mariah Carey signed on the dotted line for American Idol JUST IN TIME. It’s been three years since her last unsuccessful album and she hoped her new comeback single “Triumphant” would be just that. Since she released it on iTunes to not-so-hot reviews, it moved from 42 to 40. But radio stations continue to ignore it, so it’s not promising. Suddenly that 12 million dollar AI contract seems like an even better deal because her exposure on the show might help sell the song. Above, she’s swimming with “dem babies.”

Flop Johnny Depp The Rum Diary

EVEN JOHNNY DEPP COULDN’T SAVE “THE RUM DIARY”

Johnny Depp has been EVERYWHERE promoting “The Rum Diary” (magazines, TV, even colleges) which opened this weekend, but it flopped anyway. Depp has long been a fan of alcoholic drugged-up journalist Hunter S Thompson, and he was responsible for getting the movie made. Apparently moviegoers do not share Johnny’s fascination with self-indulgent Thompson. It only pulled in around five million dollars and could be the biggest flop of Johnny’s career. This still of Johnny from the movie, which takes place in the late 50’s, almost – almost – makes us want to see it.
