Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Joke of The TOWN !!

00:00:00.000 Did Jimmy Kimmel just take a dig at Blake Lively? Oh yes.

00:00:09.220 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Kasti Flora, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:13.800 and your voice of reason in a town built on the illusion. Did Blake Lively just become

00:00:19.580 the new laughingstock of Hollywood? And did Bradley Cooper, Blake's close friend,

00:00:27.420 do exactly the same as she's accusing Justin Baldoni in doing while he directed his latest

00:00:34.180 movie. Also, let's look at another ridiculous fluff piece from People magazine. This is getting 0.92

00:00:41.020 to the point of insanity. And are Ryan and Hugh accused of queerbaiting? And I have to talk about

00:00:48.740 this insane lawsuit that just hit this poor comedian from making a joke about Lion King.

00:00:56.860 You won't believe this. Before I get into everything, I wanted to thank everyone for

00:01:01.020 all your comments and all your support yesterday. As I said in that episode as well, I really

00:01:05.400 appreciate all the support and all the tips you're sending me because I cannot do this without you

00:01:09.520 guys. Anyways, because I spoke about Blake Lively's 1C yesterday and how she had pulled the zipper so

00:01:17.460 far down and she was complaining in her deposition that she felt so exposed, I saw a lot of you in

00:01:24.720 the comment section mentioning the outfits that Blake was wearing throughout. It ends with us

00:01:30.580 and someone was pointing out this dress that she was wearing when she arrived at the hospital scene

00:01:37.120 as we remember from this b-roll footage that Justin released to show that Blake Lively was

00:01:42.420 actually the one that improvised a kiss on him. She's wearing another really revealing dress 1.00

00:01:50.420 showing off her area here and also as someone pointed out another b-roll that just dibaldoni

00:01:57.920 added to his lawsuit to prove his point of the word sexy being used on the set there is footage

00:02:04.740 of blake lively sitting on the floor complaining that her shoes are uncomfortable and why they're

00:02:10.660 so uncomfortable is because they're so sexy so sexy is because it's just like naked foot like

00:02:17.040 and while she's saying this she's sitting there on the floor in front of all these

00:02:21.820 male crew members with her breasts basically popping out of her outfit so i think if you're 0.93

00:02:29.380 going for a sexy look you cannot be offended if someone calls it sexy because that's exactly

00:02:36.500 what you want people to think when they see you dressed like that so yes thank you for pointing

00:02:42.200 that out as well. Anyways, as I just mentioned, People Magazine did another story on Blake Lively

00:02:49.020 and Ryan Reynolds. So this is what I think happened here. I think, allegedly, Leslie Sloan

00:02:56.280 called People Magazine and were like, hey, we need more pieces on Ryan and Blake and their amazing

00:03:01.620 relationship and their great marriage. And People Magazine were like, I think people are getting a

00:03:07.040 little tired of it and they see through it. I don't know if you noticed all the comments that

00:03:11.540 we got on the latest piece about how people think that we are paid by Blake and Ryan to write these

00:03:17.300 fluff pieces with absolutely no news relevance so no I don't think we can do that right now

00:03:23.800 but Leslie doesn't take no for an answer so in the end I think they agreed on doing another fluff

00:03:31.580 piece on Blake and Ryan but then they would involve other actors too so it wouldn't be so

00:03:37.400 obvious. Anyways, this is what that piece ended up being. The lucky ladies who've landed a sexiest 1.00

00:03:45.420 man alive. What is the relevance of this story? So these are basically pictures of couples and

00:03:52.640 where the man has been voted by People magazine the sexiest man alive. In some way, it's kind of

00:04:00.220 funny that it is the sexiest man. As we know, that word is only allowed being used by Blake Lively

00:04:05.660 herself. And the fact that someone is calling her husband sexy, I don't know if that's allowed in

00:04:11.700 her world. But anyways, this story is so dumb. So they have a lot of other couples here. But of 1.00

00:04:18.300 course, even though they are number 12 on this list, so it wouldn't be so obvious that this is

00:04:24.900 another SEO manipulation planted story. They put a picture of Blake and Ryan in the beginning of

00:04:33.560 this article and it states here under the photo when you scroll down to number 12 that Blake

00:04:40.360 Lively is married to Ryan Reynolds who was the sexiest man alive in 2010 and it says one of

00:04:47.180 Hollywood's most beautiful couples inside and out. No it doesn't say that. Lively and Reynolds are

00:04:56.300 quite private when it comes to discussing their relationship and four children but that doesn't

00:05:01.680 stop the pair from posting cute Instagram snapshots. That's all it says. I mean, does

00:05:07.900 People Magazine have nothing to write about these days if this is a story? But yeah, this is out of

00:05:13.640 control now. These stupid articles that People Magazine keeps pushing out there to pretend that 1.00

00:05:19.400 we've forgotten about what these two people have done to Justin Baldoni. Okay, so this is quite 0.99

00:05:25.080 funny. So Robert Pattinson, one of my favorites out there. I really love Robert Pattinson. He's

00:05:30.420 genuine and he's so sweet and he's just so real and he was on Jimmy Kimmel five days ago I think

00:05:38.340 it was talking about his new projects one of them being Dune 3 and then Jimmy Kimmel showed him a

00:05:45.540 photo from Dune 3 the movie where you see Robert Pattinson with some kind of wig being blonde or

00:05:52.260 whatever and Robert Pattinson is explaining how the director Denis Villeneuve was reacting when

00:05:59.920 he saw this photo of him and denise looking at me going it is so sexy i love the hairline it's so

00:06:06.720 sexy and i was like interesting it seems like an hr violation yes to me as this person who sent it

00:06:18.000 pointed out this seems like such a dig at blake lively it's never before been known that someone

00:06:26.700 has been sued for saying that something is sexy in Hollywood. Blake Lively is the person who imported

00:06:33.780 that crime into this town and now people are making fun of it. The fact that Jimmy Kimmel

00:06:39.360 said that this should be an HR violation says everything to me and of course that both of them

00:06:45.540 are laughing so hard about this. Another thing that came up in my feed on Instagram while I was

00:06:51.480 scrolling yesterday was an interview with Laura Dern. I adore Laura Dern. I remember the first

00:06:58.580 time I interviewed her and she was like, you're from Norway, I'm Norwegian. She was so excited

00:07:04.320 about being from Norway, although she'd never been there. I think her grandmother was Norwegian,

00:07:08.400 but she's also one of those people who just seems so genuine. And I've actually watched this movie

00:07:13.360 that she talked about here. It was a movie called Is This Thing On? She was acting opposite Will

00:07:19.260 Arnett in the movie, I actually really liked it. The director of the movie was Bradley Cooper.

00:07:26.160 As you know, Blake Lively bragged a lot about being friends with Bradley Cooper in her lawsuit,

00:07:32.500 in her text messages to other people saying that Bradley had watched her movie three times and he

00:07:38.700 loves it and blah, blah, blah. There's pictures of Bradley and his girlfriend or fiance now,

00:07:45.400 I think Gigi Hadid arriving at a screening or at a meeting with Blake and Ryan, and I think Taylor

00:07:53.260 was there. Anyways, so Laura Dern is explaining what it's like to work with someone like Bradley,

00:08:01.000 and she says this. We'd end the scene, and Bradley was like, that scene was so sexy,

00:08:06.160 And I just loved that. I loved that this filmmaker saw communication as hot and intimacy as erotic.

00:08:19.200 Bradley saw communication as sexy and she loved that.

00:08:24.560 And also that he saw intimacy as erotic. She really loved that too.

00:08:29.280 isn't it amazing how Blake has portrayed Justin Baldoni as this predator almost in her filings

00:08:38.060 and that also and that is also a word that Ryan Reynolds has used about Justin and then you see

00:08:43.620 other people in Hollywood talk naturally about these things and it's very normal to call a scene

00:08:50.180 sexy and she also used the word hot here which is another word that Blake has accused Justin of

00:08:57.600 using when describing her outfits which is not the story that Justin told about that episode but 0.99

00:09:04.360 anyways it's just when you hear all of these things it makes them look so dumb. Okay I spoke 0.98

00:09:10.620 about this a couple of days ago how Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were giving off these gay vibes 0.54

00:09:17.120 when they were doing interviews for Deadpool versus Wolverine but I totally forgot how they

00:09:22.880 were accused of queer baiting when this actually happened. But before we get into that, I wanted to

00:09:28.760 thank the sponsor of this video, Ro. Okay, I want to talk about something that I've been hearing a lot

00:09:35.060 about lately, GLP-1 medications. First, I just want to say this is not for you if you want to just

00:09:42.340 lose a couple of pounds. These are medications that are designed to help people who really need

00:09:49.400 it for weight-related health issues. Many patients who use it report fewer cravings, more energy,

00:09:56.000 better lab numbers, and improvements that go beyond the number on the scale. GLP-1 medications

00:10:01.700 through Roe are prescribed for weight management. What's new now is that there's actually a GLP-1

00:10:09.060 pill, which is great news for people who are a bit intimidated by injections. It's one daily pill

00:10:16.280 with the same weight loss ingredients as the injections and it's delivering comparable results.

00:10:22.260 You can access this through Rho which offers the first FDA approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss

00:10:29.400 along with 100% online care, provider messaging, insurance checks and support throughout your

00:10:35.720 treatment. If you're curious if this could be a part of your health journey go to ro.co slash

00:10:40.880 my name to see if you're eligible for the new GLP-1 pill on Roe. That's ro.co slash

00:10:49.320 my name and go to roe.co slash safety for boxed warning and full safety information about GLP-1

00:10:56.840 medications. Okay, so during the promotion of Deadpool and Wolverine, Hugh Jackman and Ryan

00:11:03.800 Reynolds made it into a thing that they had the hots for each other and that didn't land well

00:11:10.240 in the gay community out magazine did a story about it saying hugh jackman's joke about ryan

00:11:16.960 reynolds trying to kiss him is giving homophobic vibes the two deadpool and wolverine actors

00:11:22.900 recently appeared on an episode of chicken shop date i spoke about this episode on my episode a

00:11:29.700 couple of days ago where hugh jackman was saying that ryan was trying to kiss him on his way into

00:11:35.080 this interview trying to kiss me as i was walking are you kidding me it was i felt unsafe it says

00:11:40.240 here that hugh jackman the iconic australian actor who is beloved in the gay community for starring

00:11:45.860 in musicals like le meseur rob the greatest showman the boy from os the music man seems to

00:11:52.020 be playing into marvel's homophobic marketing strategy for their latest movie we've already

00:11:57.900 written previously about how the marketing for the new superhero flick relies heavily on thinking

00:12:03.540 it's funny that Deadpool, a man, could be sexually attracted to Wolverine, also a man.

00:12:10.980 And that's even funnier when Deadpool's sexuality harasses Wolverine and Wolverine rejects him.

00:12:18.220 Now Jackman has added some fuel to that fire in the latest episode of Chicken Shop Date with

00:12:23.580 Amelia de Moldenburg. As you know, Ryan Reynolds also used his daughter Ines to take part in these

00:12:31.400 jokes around sexuality as we know from the behind the scene footage that shocked everyone his then

00:12:38.420 nine-year-old daughter was told by her dad to say the line if i want your opinion i'll ask you to

00:12:47.280 take wolverine's d out of your mouth ryan reynolds is laughing about this in a conversation he had

00:12:53.280 with the director sean levy in a behind the scene video that was posted on youtube and he said his

00:12:59.560 daughter didn't want to say it they had to do the takes hundreds of times and he basically had to

00:13:04.640 kind of force her into it because she felt really uncomfortable saying it anyways I forgot how much

00:13:11.820 they were actually attacked for doing this during the premiere of Deadpool versus Wolverine for some

00:13:18.260 reason Ryan managed to shake this all off obviously because he has great people around him that is

00:13:25.340 really helping him terrorizing people if they don't write the things that he wants them to

00:13:31.800 write. But The Guardian in the UK did this story saying Deadpool's obnoxious gay panic humor is a

00:13:39.580 tiresome schoolyard taunt. They're saying here this summer's Deadpool Wolverine uses the superhero's

00:13:46.380 alleged pansexuality as queer baits but turns it into a punchline. And they're quoting Deadpool's 0.90

00:13:54.060 co-creator here saying that Deadpool can be gay one minute, hetero the next. All are valid. Citing 0.99

00:14:01.240 neurodivergence to explain a character's sexuality may not be radically progressive, but in the world

00:14:08.360 of mainstream superheroism, queer fans will take what scraps they can get, this journalist is 1.00

00:14:14.280 saying. And he's saying here the film's prudence on this front does, however, underline the queer 0.98

00:14:20.140 exacerbating cynicism of its marketing, which places significantly more emphasis on Deadpool's

00:14:25.900 sexuality than the finished product ever does. One poster shows a close-up of Deadpool's gloved hand

00:14:33.380 caressing Wolverine's clawed one. As you know, Ryan has spoken publicly about representation and

00:14:39.960 how important that is to him many times, and here is an article in Vanity Fair where they're quoting

00:14:45.200 things that he said at Comic-Con. It says here Ryan Reynolds is open to explore Deadpool's

00:14:51.860 pansexuality. It says here that the actor said as much as this year's Comic-Con where talk at

00:14:57.520 LBGTQ representation broke boundaries in other ways. It's interesting that Ryan has been called

00:15:04.000 out about this and in the same movie he is mocking Justin Baldoni for being a woke feminist. So why

00:15:10.780 was it so important for Ryan and for Hugh to create this kind of sexual tension between their

00:15:18.400 two characters? There's so many rumors about Hugh Jackman's sexuality. It's been going on for years

00:15:26.180 and I have heard many stories in parties here in Hollywood and it went so far that his ex-wife

00:15:34.800 Debra Lee Furness opened up about this in an interview saying that no my husband at the time

00:15:41.440 is not gay I know there's so many rumors about him he is not gay but then I also saw this video

00:15:48.440 that Bob Ping on YouTube made they made a whole story about how Ryan Reynolds is being openly gay

00:15:55.900 in his marriage again this is all alleged and I wonder if this might be the reason why they're

00:16:04.140 joking about this in the Deadpool movie, that maybe it's a therapeutic process for them to come

00:16:09.720 out like this. Anyways, let's talk about this story. It was so crazy. Thank you, Felicia. Felicia

00:16:15.520 Cooper has been on my channel. She's an actress. She's amazing. And she sent this to me this morning

00:16:20.180 and I was so shocked by it. I thought it was a joke, so I had to Google it. Okay, so this is a

00:16:26.380 story about a comedian. So Junasi is a startup comedian. He's really funny. I've never heard

00:16:33.900 about him before but he was on America's Got Talent he's won several awards for his stand-up

00:16:38.760 comedy and he was on this show on YouTube it's a podcast the podcast is called 154 and this podcast

00:16:46.640 got a lot of views on YouTube and the topic of the podcast was basically I think African culture

00:16:53.960 and they invited him to come on and talk about different things I think the podcast was like

00:16:59.740 two hours long. But this joke went kind of viral because they started talking about Lion King

00:17:08.220 and the lyrics in Lion King. And then Jonassi made this joke.

00:17:19.020 You were way off.

00:17:23.080 All right.

00:17:23.840 What does it mean?

00:17:24.520 It means, look, there's a lion. Oh my God.

00:17:29.740 you're joking that is not what that means that is not what that means that's exactly what it

00:17:37.220 means look there's a lion oh my god look there's a lion oh my god it's a lion

00:17:47.220 most of all this is so funny because they're laughing so much about this and i when i watched

00:17:57.840 it I have to watch it again because I felt like their laughs were just so contagious and it is a

00:18:02.960 funny thing it's so such a dumb little thing but anyways I remember watching it I think it was last

00:18:08.480 week and now guess what happened so the original composer of that song in Lion King sued Janassi

00:18:19.540 for hold your horses 27 million dollars for making a joke about the song and he served him

00:18:33.180 on stage during one of his stand-up comedy shows i am officially getting sued for telling a joke

00:18:42.940 look there's a lion oh my god

00:18:47.080 and that's why i'm getting sued for 27 million dollars and to make matters worse i got served

00:18:59.860 the lawsuit while i was performing on stage what is this what is this service oh i just got served

00:19:09.500 Okay, how wild is this?

00:19:19.660 I mean, poor guy.

00:19:21.440 And as he pointed out in an Instagram post,

00:19:25.240 this is not the first time someone joked about the lyrics in that song.

00:19:30.640 Seth Rogen also joked about it with a reporter

00:19:34.640 during a press junket when he was promoting the movie.

00:19:38.060 Here comes a lion. It's a lion. Did we mention it's a lion?

00:19:45.460 They go like super literal. You can get away with anything in a foreign language.

00:19:50.200 So why is this guy, Lebo M., the composer, not suing Seth Rogen? That's also what Jonas E. wants

00:19:57.720 to know. Why did he pick him? And $27 million. It's so insane. Of course, he's never going to

00:20:04.700 get that amount of money but the fact is when someone sues you you have to respond you have to

00:20:10.120 get an attorney you have to spend money on that attorney attorneys are super expensive and this

00:20:15.340 could cost him a lot of money just to fight to get this thing thrown out which is probably will be

00:20:22.180 because it's insane and of course he's protected as a comedian you are protected and this is satire

00:20:29.780 obviously so he doesn't have a case but the fact that he's actually doing it and dragging him

00:20:35.540 through this and as this comedian did when he responded to people saying can't you just say

00:20:40.620 you're sorry and he said you know at this point i can't say i'm sorry because this guy attacked me

00:20:46.440 personally and said terrible things about me so for those people coming to me actually saying to 0.88

00:20:52.100 me that hey you apologize to libo m no i never insulted him he called me an idiot an idiot he 0.98

00:21:01.400 called me a wannabe comedian he called me a self-hating negro yes what a mess so the original 0.89

00:21:10.580 composer here libo m says that there's such a deep meaning to this song and it shouldn't be

00:21:16.640 mocked like this. So then he deserves to get $27 million. I mean, you guys, insane. Yeah,

00:21:24.920 I guess you can't make fun of Lion King, you guys. Don't do that. Anyways, that's it for me.

00:21:31.500 Thank you so much for watching and thanks for sending me so many tips. Please keep them coming.
