THE WALKING DEAD: Actor's Dad Angry Over Son's Firing
[Warning: this post contains spoilers]
Plenty of characters have been killed off The Walking Dead, but the real-life father of the latest victim isn't happy about Sunday's twist ending.
William Riggs -- the father of Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl -- is blasting AMC for writing his teen son off the zombie show. In a since-deleted Facebook post, the elder Riggs writes, “Watching [Producer Scott] Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his 18th birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing. I never trusted Gimple or AMC but Chandler did. I know how much it hurt him. But we do absolutely know how lucky we have been to be a part of it all and appreciate all the love from fans all these years!”
Chandler admitted that leaving the show was not his decision but was “story related.” He told The Hollywood Reporter, “I was planning on going to college until I found out. I found out when I was doing rehearsals for episode six back in June. It was quite the shocker for me...and everyone because I don’t think anyone saw it coming."
But Carl isn't dead yet. He'll be in the next episode of The Walking Dead when it returns to AMC on February 25th.
KEATON JONES: Donations Halted to GoFundMe
On Monday, Keaton Jones became the latest “Milkshake Duck.”
Milkshake Duck is shorthand for a viral sensation whose sudden rocket to fame is followed by the discovery on an unsavory background. Keaton’s mother, Kimberly Jones deleted her Facebook account that reportedly contained racist comments and photos with confederate flags.
Kimberly said in one unverified post made shortly after the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville (quote) “Dear butt hurt Americans. If you aren’t bleeding, no bones are sticking out & you breathe, STOP crying!” (The Wrap)
Therefore, GoFundMe froze the "Stand Up for Keaton" account. The outpouring of support and donations reached nearly 60-grand. For the moment, there’s no guarantee he’ll see any of that money. GoFundMe shut down a second page supposedly to help pay for Keaton’s Christmas gifts. It may have been a fraud.
DWAYNE JOHNSON: Baby Girl Due in Spring
Just a few hours later, longtime girlfriend Lauren Hashian walked the Jumanji movie red carpet with The Rock. He cradled Lauren’s growing baby bump.
Johnson recruited his two-year-old daughter to help reveal their exciting news. He captioned the Instagram post, (quote) “Our Jasmine Lia would like to make a big announcement. It’s a Girl! Can’t wait to be a big sister! And finally be the boss!”
He added, (quote) “Once again, big daddy is completely surrounded by beautiful estrogen and loving, powerful female mana. All girls. One dude. #GratefulMan #TequilaTime”
