Miss you and love you forever!” Zelda Williams shared an old photo of Robin picketing and tweeted, “Happy birthday to Poppo, who definitely would’ve been out there fighting the good fight for art and artists today and always.”

SAMUEL L. JACKSON SLAMS BILLIONAIRES FOR NOT PAYING TAXES: Samuel L. Jackson did not hold back when he spoke his mind about billionaires not paying taxes during a recent interview with Vulture. “I pay an enormous amount of taxes, and it’s fine because I know I should. But why can’t we get billionaires to pay their f—king taxes?” the Pulp Fiction actor said. “If those motherf—kers paid their taxes we’d solve a whole bunch of shit. And they would still be richer than every motherf—ker walking around them.”

He is not dating Ariana Grande. I don’t know if Ethan Slater (who played SpongeBob in the musical) is or isn’t dating Ariana Grande. However, they’re both adorable and I totally ship it,” Talley wrote. She added, “Just wanted to set the record straight. P.S. as for me and Tom Kenny — we are celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary today.”
