TIFFANY HADDISH SAYS SHE DIDN’T RECEIVE ‘A DIME’ FOR HER FIRST MOVIE ROLE: Tiffany Haddish opened up to The Associated Press in a recent interview about not being paid for her first movie role. “My very first movie I ever did that I was the star in, I was homeless while I was shooting that movie,” she said. “They were supposed to pay me $1,200 to do the movie. I wasn’t in the union. It was non union film so there was nothing I could do about it. They never paid me. They never paid me a dime. The producers gave me 10 DVDs and said, ‘Sell those. Good luck.’ I never saw the movie.” The Haunted Mansion actress added, “Then ‘Girls Trip’ comes out in 2017. That movie is all over BET, VH1…this network, this streaming. It’s everywhere, that movie! I don’t get a dime. It’s the second worst movie I was ever in. Not a penny.”

JERRY SEINFELD COMMENTS ON ‘ROLLING STONE’ REPORT ABOUT JIMMY FALLON’S ‘TOXIC WORKPLACE:’ In the recent Rolling Stone report about Jimmy Fallon’s “toxic workplace” on The Tonight Show, two employees say they witnessed Fallon berate a staff member who was holding cue cards while Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the show. “It was very awkward, and Jerry [Seinfeld] was like, ‘You should apologize to him,’ almost trying to make it a joke,” one of the employees said. In response to this, Seinfeld told Variety in a statement, “This is so stupid. I remember this moment quite well … I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off. It was not uncomfortable at all. Jimmy and I still occasionally recall it and laugh. Idiotic twisting of events.”

‘HAUNTED MANSION’ GETS RELEASE DATE: Deadline reports that Haunted Mansion will be available to stream on Disney+ just in time for spooky season. The film is scheduled to be released on the platform on October 4th.
