Donald Glover fans have taken over a Donald Trump subreddit to praise their one, true Donald

TwitterFacebook

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who confuses Donald Glover with Donald Trump. 

The two, though both wildly famous, thankfully don’t have much in common besides their first name — until now. Now, they share a subreddit. Kind of. 

Over the weekend, Reddit’s r/thedonald suffered quite the identity crisis when a rogue band of internet trolls decided that the community needed a makeover. What began as sub built to share news and thoughts about Trump was uncovered by fans of Glover, who took it upon themselves to spam the page with all things related to the actor, comedian, and musician. 

Though r/thedonald should not to be mistaken for the much larger, far more notorious Reddit community r/the_donald, it does currently have 16,000 subscribers. And they are all probably pretty annoyed.  Read more…

Donald Glover opens up about the touching full-circle ‘Star Wars’ moment he shared with his son

TwitterFacebook

Solo: A Star Wars Story is about to hit theaters, and its stars — Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian) and Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) — have been making the rounds promoting the film. 

The two stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an episode that aired May 21 to share a bit about the audition process, meeting with their character’s predecessors, and how full-circle this moment really is for them. 

In addition to sharing how many times each had to audition (7 for Glover, 6 for Ehrenreich), Glover opened up about how his first toy as a child was the Calrissian action figure — and how now his son plays with the action figure of Glover and understands that it’s his dad.  Read more…

Childish Gambino’s ‘This Is America’ is No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, as it should be

TwitterFacebook

Looks like Childish Gambino has another earworm on his hands. 

Earlier this month, the rapper, also formally known as Donald Glover, released his new single “This Is America.” Since its video was uploaded to YouTube, it’s racked up over 111,000,000 views — an incredibly impressive feat considering it’s only been up for nine days. With numbers like that, it’s no surprise that the track has landed Glover his very first Billboard chart-topping position. 

According to Billboard, the song took the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100 in both streams and sales with 65.3 million streams and 78,000 downloads in the week ending on May 10, based on numbers from Nielsen Music.  Read more…

Donald Glover has spoken about the huge reaction to his ‘This Is America’ video

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet over the past few weeks, you’ll almost certainly have watched Donald Glover’s super powerful new music video “This Is America“.

Not only has it received a massively positive reaction for the way it tackles gun violence, but it’s also been accompanied by a huge amount of analysis breaking down the video’s many hidden references.

So what does the man who created it think of all the attention it’s received?

Well, apparently he’s been steering clear of the internet — for the time being, at least. Read more…

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ clip confirms Donald Glover’s Lando is going to be the breakout star

TwitterFacebook

As we all know, Donald Glover as Lando is already the best thing about Solo: A Star Wars Story. And the most recent clip released for the movie only further solidifies this truth.

It shows the first moment that Han (whose name we shall heretofore purposefully mispronounce in support of Lando) meets the most charming smuggler in all the galaxy. There’s even a quick shot of Emilia Clarke as Qi’ra. 

We happen upon Lando just as he’s claiming some gambling rewards. “There’s no liars in this game, only players,” he says, to the aliens he clearly just lied to and played like a fiddle.

Oh Lando — no matter how much of a rapscallion you are, we’ve gotta hate the game and not the player. Read more…

Donald Glover is definitely having a Moment™. 

Fresh off of his successful hosting of Saturday Night Live, he released a groundbreaking music video for his new song “This is America.” This, during the second season of his FX show Atlanta, which he created and stars in. All before he plays Lando Calrissian in the newest Star Wars movie, coming out May 25. 

Over the past 10 years, Glover has become a cultural force. He’s touched a number of entertainment mediums, from his comedic role on Community to his thoughtful music under the pseudonym Childish Gambino, and has been increasingly seen in movies and on other TV shows.  Read more…

Blake Lively, Chadwick Boseman, Lana Del Rey and more showed up — and showed out — at the 2018 Met Gala

By now, I pray you’ve seen Pope Rihanna blessing us all with her Met Gala ensemble – or Ariana Grande providing us a literal example of the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme. 

While there were folks who chose to come in what were basically insanely expensive prom dresses, there were others who stuck with the night’s religious motif and probably made Anna Wintour very proud. Some went very literal — Sarah Jessica Parker’s altar or Zendaya’s Joan of Arc interpretation — and others, like Jaden Smith, just looked really really cool. Here are our favorites from the first Monday of May.  Read more…
