Sexually abused throughout childhood, she was then homeless as a teen. Maria Fabian’s early life was a tragedy. But after spending the last half decade as an advocate for area homeless by talking seriously about her past, she is now also turning her childhood into a comedy. For the past year, on Wednesdays at Ybor City’s Improv Comedy Theater’s open mic night, Fabian has regularly been cracking jokes about her past. “If I sit alone and think about my life, I can cry for days,” said Fabian, 28, a 2008 Hillsborough High School graduate. “I have to find humor in it.” For instance, while her relationship with the aunt who raised her was so contentious that it led to Fabian’s homelessness, ...

The Shashank Khaitan directorial also features Ishaan Khatter as the lead. And the much-awaited film is slated to release on July 20, 2018. Janhvi Kapoor’s cousin Sonam Kapoor was recently questioned in an interview with a magazine about what advice has she given to Janhvi who is all set to rock the Bollywood world. To which the ‘Veere Di Wedding’ star opined, “I have already given her enough counsel. When I joined the industry, her mom (Sridevi) helped me quite a bit, including with my makeup. I remember I used to go to her house and have a lot of conversations with her. I know she had those talks with Jahnvi already, but all I can say is, that she needs to be professional, respect hers and everyone else’s time, which is something she...

https://funnythingshere.xyz/film-review-lbj/-https://www.adelaidereview.com.au/content/uploads/2018/05/lbj-lyndon-b-johnson-film-cinema-adelaide-review.jpg - This biopic based upon a chunk of the life of America’s 36th President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, is an odd, stilted affair with a curiously distanced feel. That distance demonstrates one of the film’s biggest problems: neither director/producer Rob Reiner nor star Woody Harrelson like LBJ in the slightest. Both Harrelson and Reiner later said their distaste for LBJ was because of his pro-Vietnam stance. So why make a movie about him then? Good question. Although Woody (before he was in War For The Planet Of The Apes , Three Billboards… , Solo: A Star Wars Story and several others) is actually about the same age as LBJ was during the years depicted here, he nevertheless sat for hours in the make-up chair and wore prosthetics to make his lean gob look more like the jowly Johnson’s, and all it really does is mak...

At Hogwarts, student wizards make snails disappear by incanting “Evanesco!” In Hollywood, alt-right wizard Roseanne Barr incanted a racially insensitive and intellectually dumb tweet that made vanish her dignity and career, a high-rated TV show and the livelihoods of hundreds of people. ABC quickly reacted to her post by cancelling Roseanne , to the praise of many. Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, which owns the network, personally phoned former adviser to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, whom Roseanne had attacked in her insulting tweet, to assure her that there would be “zero tolerance” for these kinds of statements. But, as much as I applaud when corpor...

Despite impressive growth in recent years, gambling participation in the UK among 16-24-year-olds is at 35%, down from 51% in 2014,  according to data from the UK Gambling Commission . Instead of casino favourites like roulette, millenials are more likely found playing games of skill, whether that be Fortnite of social gaming classics like Candy Crush. With online gambling operators looking to the future in an ever more consolidated industry, could a new breed of skill-based gambling games bring millenials back to the table? Michal Palecek, CEO of skill-based games developer Chopsticks in the Apps, is available for interview on the subject . Michal, can you please tell us what exactly you are doi...
