CELEBRITY APOLOGY- JOHN CENA (NEW SEGMENT.)
The handicapped source, was at a Pasadena Bar in a hotel,doing research for film review at a nearby theatre. The nerdy waiter was ignoring him, for over an hour. Then, while looking at the cellphone web browser,the dorky bus boy,passes by on his way to the kitchen and made a homophobically snide remark.
The source answered back in a equally Trumpian manner,as he had no choice.The handicapped black man, then asked another waiter,an Asian gentleman for a pen.The waiter gave it to him.
After about 20 minutes, the source started to leave his table,and the nerdy waiter returned and passed right by him, with a smirk across his face. The source in playfully angry manner- pantomimed he'd like to stab the prick with the pen. He then stopped, thinking he didn't wanted taken the wrong way, but it was too late.
Near the front desk, the wanna be Rock- was checking in into the hotel and saw the gesture. The busybody, failed Marine star, assuming a black man was about to attack, pointing him out to clerks and called over the waiter- to tell him what the man had done.
The handicapped guy walked over to the bar, and handed the pen back to the Asian bartender. "Thank You," as he handed the pen back and the bartender who nodded in agreement.
When the handicapped turned around to leave. The scumbag wrestler was shocked to see- the source was handicapped by his crutch from his broken foot. He clearly couldn't see that,when he began warning the staff about the slow moving, handicapped, black man.
Worse, the pedestrian ex marine- was in a fighting stance, ready to strike the man, about a situation he had NO knowledge before attempting, to make the matter violent.
When the bronze bastard, realized he absolutely wrong and was about hand the black man- a multimillion dollar lawsuit, he dropped his stance amongst the confused and now worried staff members. As he shifted nervously and dropped his head and then slowly raised it, with a more somber accomodating tone and he stated,"...I'm sorry."
The source was barely aware of how disgustingly close, Cena was too
him and how much Cena wanted to get his hands on him. The handicapped man finished his turn to the exit and left to go to work, deconstructing his movie.

ALI: A LIFE IS NOW A PODCAST, AND A BOOK.
"Finally, after so many works focusing on this fight or that, the whole man, the whole life, is presented here. And what a revelation it is," Ken Burns raves about the book. Eig breaks new ground with this comprehensive biography, radically reshaping our understanding of Muhammad Ali. Eig had access to all the key people in Ali's life, including his three surviving wives and his managers. He also had access to thousands of pages of new FBI and Justice Department files, as well dozens of hours of newly discovered audiotaped interviews from the 1960s. Eig reveals Ali in the complexity he deserves, shedding important new light on his politics and his neurological condition. In one of the first podcast episodes, "A Blow to the Head," Eig shares why his interview with ring doctor Ferdie Pacheco was like taking a punch to the kidneys—and what he learned about Ali's early signs of traumatic brain injury.
The podcast will be available on Eig's website and at ChasingAliThePodcast.com starting June 3. ALI: A Life will be available wherever books are sold on October 3.

ABOUT STING: Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to London in 1977 to form The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band released five studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
As one of the world's most distinctive solo artists, Sting has received an additional 10 Grammy Awards, two Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations (most recently for "The Empty Chair" from JIM: The James Foley Story), a TONY nomination, Billboard Magazine's Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year. Also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, in December 2014 he received the Kennedy Center Honors, and most recently was given The American Music Award of Merit. Throughout his enduring career, he has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist.
Sting's support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect both the world's rainforests and the indigenous people living there. Together they have held 18 benefit concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet's endangered resources. Since its inception, the Rainforest Fund has expanded to a network of interconnected organizations working in more than 20 countries over three continents.

HARRIET TUBMAN WILL BE-THE SOLE FEATURED CHARACTER, ON UNDERGROUND FOR A WEEK.
WGN America announced today that the sixth installment of its gripping, hit series, "Underground," slated to air at a special time on Wednesday, April 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, will in its entirety feature a solo performance by Aisha Hinds ("Under the Dome," Star Trek Into Darkness), whose electrifying portrayal of Harriet Tubman has already captivated viewers and critics around the country. Tubman, the Underground Railroad's most famous conductor, risks her life repeatedly in order to free her family members and lead anyone willing to journey north across hostile territory, to freedom – a task she believes is her God-given mission.
"When introducing someone as iconic as Harriet Tubman, we felt compelled to attempt an episode as revolutionary as her spirit. When we learned through research in 1858 she began to give talks about her life to like-minded abolitionists to raise money for the cause, we knew we had our in: A 'Ted Talk' with Harriet Tubman," said "Underground" Creators, Writers and Executive Producers Misha Green and Joe Pokaski. "Our amazing crew, led by our director/executive producer Anthony Hemingway, set a beautiful stage for Aisha Hinds'powerhouse performance. And we can only hope we did Araminta 'Minty' Ross proud."
"This episode is truly one of a kind. It alone, masterfully revolutionizes TV storytelling," said Anthony Hemingway, "Underground" Director and Executive Producer. "Aisha surrenders herself to the spirit of Harriet Tubman and gracefully reintroduces us to Harriet's humanity by sharing her story, in a chillingly exceptional performance. I am extremely proud of the amazing artistry that every cast and crew member poured into making 'Underground,' it's the most exhilarating experience I've had as a filmmaker."
Hinds remarked, "Playing Harriet Tubman is both a great honor and also a tremendous call to duty as we examine how familiar the pain of our past can be felt in the present. In sight of and in spite of the overwhelming obstacles stacked against her, Harriet transcended bondage and inspired generations in the pursuit of liberty."
In the all-new, extended episode entitled, "Minty," written by series co-creators Misha Green and Joe Pokaski, and directed by Emmy and Golden Globe Award® winner Anthony Hemingway, Tubman delivers a monumental and definitive speech about her life, her divine purpose and the perilous but necessary fight for freedom. Set in 1858 against the backdrop of a nation deeply divided by race, class and gender, Tubman makes a passionate plea to abolitionists to shift their thinking as she challenges them to take swift action against those who are determined to oppress others. In a career defining move, Hinds unleashes a transcendent performance that is not to be missed. "Minty" will air on Wednesday, April 12 during a special time slot at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on WGN America, with back-to-back encore airings throughout the night.
