On Thursday, BET has a docu-special starring Tyler Perry to dispel the myths around the COVID vaccine.
Tyler Perry created the program called COVID-19 Vaccine and The Black Community to combat skeptics and conspiracies. He recruited Georgia doctors to help explain how the vaccines provide immunity against the coronavirus. On Monday, he got the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine with the cameras rolling.
Tyler Perry admitted that he woke on Tuesday with “some aches and pains” that Advil relieved. He told CBS anchor Gayle King, (quote) “If you look at our history in this country, the Tuskegee experiment, Henrietta Lacks, it raises flags for African American people. So I understand why there’s a healthy skepticism about the vaccine.” (Entertainment Tonight)
Lori Loughlin’s husband will have to stay behind bars for a little while longer.
Mossimo Giannulli‘s request for an early release from federal prison has been denied with the judge saying there was no “extraordinary or compelling reason” to do so.
The fashion guru, who was convicted for his role in the college admissions scandal, argued that he should do the remainder of his five-month sentence at home because all his time in solitary confinement had been punishment enough.
Giannulli has served about two months of his sentence.
His wife did two months before being released in December.
Actor Armie Hammer’s ex is speaking out. The actor is making headlines because in some leaked DMs he says he’s a cannibal. Now ex Paige Lorenze says Armie talked seriously about surgically removing her bottom rib so he could eat it. The 22-year-old tells ‘Inside Edition’ he never beat her, but he left her bruised and even branded a letter ‘A’ into her skin. Armie’s lawyer says his client isn’t a cannibal and “these assertions are patently untrue.” Armie has dropped out of an upcoming J.Lo movie thanks to the scandal.
