2. “I was genuinely thrilled to leave.” Perez Hilton opens up about his controversial exit onI’m A Celeb.
Perez Hilton has left the jungle!
The gossip king was eliminated from I’m A Celeb… Get Me Out of Here! last night, and honestly, he could not have run away fast enough.
Once he heard the news it was him who would be sent home, he grabbed his bags, bolted right past his fellow contestants and gave them no time to say goodbyes.
Speaking to10 Dailyafter his exit, Hilton shared his excitement to get back to normal life.
“I bolted from camp because I was genuinely thrilled to leave today. Feeling super accomplished having done so many trials, having met some amazing people whom I will keep in touch with forever,” he said.
Admitting he struggled with the environment around him, Hilton shared that he began to feel unwell regularly due to the lack of food.
Hilton shares that he was, “melting down because my brain is thinking it’s starving, and I was! I lost 10lbs (4.5kg) in eight days.”
However, overall he had a fantastic time.
“I had no idea who any of these celebrities were before I started watching the show,” he said. “Then, I had the real pleasure of getting to know them and becoming a fan… of most of them.”
I’m A Celebis about to enter its final week, with the finale taking place on Sunday, February 2.
3. Oh. David Schwimmer “doesn’t care” about the criticismFriendsis receiving about diversity.
David Schwimmer really wants you to know he is #woke. However, he also “doesn’t care” that the youths of today thinkFriendsis problematic.
While there’s no denying that the 90s sitcom was iconic for its time, the 1o-season-long sitcom also had its fair share of problematic storylines. There’s barely any racial representation, and the show has been accused of promoting fatphobia and transphobia as reflected in jokes made about Monica’s teen obesity and Chandler’s transgender dad. Despite this, Schwimmer, 53, maintains it was “groundbreaking in its time”.
“I don’t care,” he told The Guardian . “The truth is also that show was groundbreaking in its time for the way in which it handled so casually sex, protected sex, gay marriage and relationships. The pilot of the show was my character’s wife left him for a woman and there was a gay wedding, of my ex and her wife, that I attended.”
“I feel that a lot of the problem today in so many areas is that so little is taken in context. You have to look at it from the point of view of what the show was trying to do at the time. I’m the first person to say that maybe something was inappropriate or insensitive, but I feel like my barometer was pretty good at that time. I was already really attuned to social issues and issues of equality.”
Speaking about the show’s lack of racial diversity, he also goes on to say he actively pushed for greater representation. This resulted in his character, Ross, dating women of colour like Lauren Tom who played Julie and Aisha Tyler who played Dr Charlie.
“I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of colour. One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian-American woman, and later I dated African-American women. That was a very conscious push on my part.”
And look, whileFriendsmight not have been problematic, and was even as Schwimmer says ‘groundbreaking for its time’, that doesn’t mean we can’t admit that elements of the series can come across as dated when watched today.
If anything, it’s called progress.
