Rihanna Bitch-Slaps Michael Cera In New Movie
Rihanna plays herself in a new movie — titled This Is The End — featuring James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Michael Cera and anyone else that you’re probably thinking of when you see these names. You can read the synopsis below (as well as the red band trailer), but above is a quick clip of the reason you clicked on the link in the first place.
The comedy This Is The End follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption.
The Game Says He Tipped The Waiter $6,000…The Waiter Says It Was Only $250
From TMZ:
The Game told a $5,750 bald-faced lie about dropping a massive tip on a waiter — at least according to the waiter himself …
First, Game’s version of what went down. The rapper had an Easter Sunday meal at Capital Grille in West Hollywood … and then tweeted about leaving a $6,000 tip for his waiter, Eme Ikwuakor.
But now Ikwuakor wants to clear up a few things … as in a few less zeros on his gratuity.
According to the waiter … Game handed him a large bundle of cash, and then snapped the photo (above) … which went out to Game’s 1.1 million Twitter followers.
Ikwuakor admits he consented to the photo, and appreciated Game including his Twitter handle — but says the actual tip was only $250.
Not that he’s complaining … in fact, Ikwuakor says Game and his fam were great customers and the $250 was “very generous and much appreciated.”
He’s assuming the $6k was just a practical joke … though we doubt the IRS would be laughing.
We called Game to clear things up … but, so far, radio silence.
