Gotta say get well wishes for ROMAN REIGNS, WWE Raw wrassler who began his career playing football for Georgia Tech, hit the NFL, the CFL and then began his wrestling career, becoming a four time world champion in the WWE, and winning the 2015 Royal Rumble. He's currently on hiatus due to an ongoing real-life battle with leukemia, and told fans Monday he'd been diagnosed with the disease 11 years ago but was in remission.
Whoops! Canadian rapper JON JAMES McMURRAY has died after a wing-walking stunt went South. McMurray was in a Cessna, and went out on the wing of the plane to attempt the stunt, but his weight caused the plane to go into a downward spiral. His PR folks said "Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn't have time to pull his [para]chute. He impacted and died instantly."
The plane and pilot were able to land safely.That movie about Queen is coming next month and now it looks like there will be a JOHN LENNON/YOKO ONO movie as well.
Variety reports JEAN-MARC VALLEE will be directing the film, with Yoko producing. No word on who'll play the pair on the big screen, however.This ought to be good --the upcoming "Terminator" film --the sixth one in the series with ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER returning in the role that made him famous-- has been moved to November first of next year (2019). That means it'll be up against the "Charlie's Angels" reboot starring KRISTEN STEWART, NAOMI SCOTT and ELLA BALINSKA. Interestingly, LINDA HAMILTON will also be back in the upcoming Terminator film as well.
