Usher States That Diddy Has Been “Misrepresented” & He Doesn’t “Have Anything Negative To Say”

Last week, Forbes released a sit-down interview with Usher titled, “Inside The Business of Usher Raymond.” Furthermore, the interview was released via YouTube. And about 23 minutes into the interview, correspondent Jabari Young asked Usher about a 2015 interview. This, in which he spoke about staying focused amid distractions while on tour. Young mentioned that Usher avoided the things we’ve seen happen recently with Diddy.

“I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer. I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been misrepresented — I’m not saying that every man is perfect. I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws. But I can’t, with any sense of humanity, not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs… so many people benefited from what he created, and I acknowledge that,” he said.

Additionally, Usher explained that he learned a lot from Diddy as a “mentor” in business.

He Sparks Strong Reactions

Social media users slid in TSR’s comment section with strong reactions to Usher’s words about Diddy.

Before Usher Stated That Diddy Has Been “Misrepresented” & He Doesn’t “Have Anything Negative To Say,” Yung Miami Also Spoke About Him

Before Usher stated that Diddy has been “misrepresented” and he doesn’t have anything negative to say about Diddy, Yung Miami made headlines by speaking about him. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, Charlamagne Tha God released an interview with Miami. During their conversation, they spoke about Diddy. Ultimately, Miami explained that she and Diddy’s relationship wasn’t a “crime.” Additionally, she said she supported him amid the abuse allegations because the man she met was “changed.”

Every generation has its stoner movie, whether it’s the oeuvre of Cheech and Chong and Jay and Silent Bob, the heightened take on the genre with The Big Lebowski, or the absurdist comedy of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. But it’s strangely a type of comedy that has started to go away in recent years, the type of ridiculous, dumb humor that is enjoyable because of how silly and stupid it can be. But this year, writer-directors Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney (also known as the sketch comedy duo BriTANicK) attempt to revitalize the genre with Pizza Movie.

For this type of stoner college comedy, Pizza Movie has an impressive amount of ambition, a strange but brilliant concept full of wild ideas it can gleefully explore, all in the guise of a goofy comedy. Pizza Movie not only feels like an homage to the films that came before it, the types of movies that you’d watch over and over again, catching and memorizing every little joke, but a solid new step forward in the stoner comedy canon.

Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone Need To Walk Down Just 2 Flights of Stairs in ‘Pizza Movie’

Pizza Movie centers on two college roommates: Montgomery (Sean Giambrone), a shy kid who has a crush on music major Ashley (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), and Jack (Gaten Matarazzo), who the entire campus seems to be mad at. After another night of getting picked on by Logan (Marcus Scribner), who has made farting in their faces a ritual, Jack convinces Montgomery to take a 10-year-old drug that just fell from their dorm room ceiling in a mint container. However, the drug is far stronger than they anticipated, which sends them on a multi-phase adventure…to go down two flights of stairs and pick up the pizza they ordered.

As explained by the drug’s creator, Frankie (Sarah Sherman), this drug has six distinct phases that they will have to explore. For example, one phase makes several of the drug’s users switch bodies Freaky Friday style, while another phase makes it so that the users can only tell the truth. If they don’t eat pizza soon, they’ll have to reckon with the final phase of the drug: their worst nightmares come to life and shove a chainsaw up their ass. Montgomery and Jack are joined by Lizzy (Lulu Wilson), who used to be their friend but now tries to impress Logan and his friends. Together, they have to get down those two flights of stairs, eat some pizza, and avoid this chainsaw conclusion. Oh, and they also have to avoid a group of militant RAs who have it out for them and want to send them to the dreaded Gralk Hall, a nightmarish dorm that’s 4 hours away.

‘Pizza Movie’ Makes the Most of Its Ridiculous Concept

Kocher and McElhaney take an absurdly simple premise — three students need to go down two flights of stairs — and manage to make an entire film out of it. Pizza Movie sets up these characters nicely, leaves a little mystery for us about each of them, then sets them out on an adventure that will allow us to dig even deeper into this trio. In one of the phases of the drug, we’re basically stuck in all flashbacks, while another might just be for fun, like the phase where if they curse, their heads will explode. But still, at 90 minutes, Pizza Movie does clock out right when it starts to exhaust its premise, and that’s probably for the best. Kocher and McElhaney took the most bare-bones idea and found a way to expand it and make it interesting, all in an entertaining narrative centered around character.

Also, for a comedy that clearly had limitations (again, this is a story that is about going down two flights of stairs), Kocher and McElhaney make this feel grander and look better than you’d expect. Kocher and McElhaney ensure that every new phase is distinct and often has a specific look to it that differentiates it from the others. Some of these are clearly more bombastic than others, like the one where heads are literally exploding every few seconds, but others, like the body swap or flashbacks, are taking very basic concepts we’ve seen in movies plenty of times before and doing them justice. Pizza Movie really proves how much you can do with a little and make it really work.

Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, and Lulu Wilson Are Fun Comedic Leads

Pizza Movie’s three stars are a delightful way into this story as well. As Matarazzo’s first project since the conclusion of Stranger Things, the character of Jack allows him to embrace a more adult character, while playing a guy who’s still a goof. But it is wonderful to see Matarazzo embrace the weirdness of this story and be an overtly comedic character in this way. The same is especially true of Giambrone, who is probably best known for playing Adam Goldberg on The Goldbergs for a decade. Montgomery is a role that lets him play to his nerdy strengths, but again, allows him to push a little bit further than the performances one might expect from him. Wilson is also a great addition to this crew, and it’s a delight watching her try to navigate her old friend group and the new one she’s still trying to get to appreciate her. Together, this trio is a solid group to follow on this journey.

Kocher and McElhaney also know how to utilize its fantastic cameos, whether it’s Sarah Sherman as a drug creator, Marcus Scribner as a guy who loves to fart on nerds’ faces, or, yes, Daniel Radcliffe as the voice of Montgomery’s pet butterfly. But the star of these is easily Caleb Hearon as Sidney, who went to college a decade later than most, has joined the militant RAs, and is trying to fit in. Hearon is fantastic, and it’s such a strange dynamic to throw him into, but it works beautifully.

Pizza Movie is a charming throwback to the stoner comedies that inspired it, an ambitious college movie that knows how to take a simple idea and turn it into something broad, wild, and expansive. While the joke might start to get a bit thin near the end, Pizza Movie is a clever bit of fun, and we definitely need more broad comedies like this in the world.

Pizza Movie premiered at the 2026 SXSW Festival. It comes to Hulu on April 3.

You can tell a lot about someone by asking them their favorite spaceship. Ask 100 sci-fi fans, and you’ll get dozens of different answers ranging from Star Trek’s Enterprise-D and Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon to the more offbeat, including Farscape’s Moya and that one Whovian who insists the TARDIS counts.

If you’re lucky, at least one person will choose the truly bizarre Lexx from the offbeat late 90’s series Lexx.

A biomechanical ship that resembles a wingless dragonfly, Lexx is the most powerful weapon of destruction in the two universes. It can talk, achieve ludicrous speeds, and has a tail, all of which put together make it the weirdest ship to ever appear on a sci-fi series. 

The Power To Destroy Planets Used to Find A Date

Lexx (voiced by Tom Gallant) was designed by His Divine Shadow as the tool he would use to wipe out humanity and bring all of existence under the insects’ control. That doesn’t quite work out after hapless security guard Stanley (Brian Downey) accidentally kickstarts the spaceship during an escape and becomes Lexx’s captain. Instead of bringing doom and destruction to the universe, Lexx is tasked to use his incredible powers to find planets of open-minded women. Lexx, the series, is very strange with deep lore stretching back thousands of years, but it’s also very horny. 

The biomechanical design of Lexx gives it a unique look on both the outside and the inside, similar to Farscape’s Moya, except it’s considerably more squishy on the inside. Passages are smaller, the crew’s quarters resemble organs, and even the ship controls look like fleshy, bulbous nodules. That’s the controls for everything from the shower to the steering, and the toilets. Instead of a bidet or toilet paper, Lexx’s toilets come complete with a tongue. Yes, it’s a strange show. 

Lexx Is The Strangest Sci-Fi Show In History

Lexx isn’t a great series, but it at least dared to do something different within the sci-fi genre by acknowledging sex exists. That part is obvious within a few minutes of watching an episode. Lexx, the ship, though, you’d think would be super-advanced, maybe thanks to an “organic computer” or accumulated hivemind memories from other insectoid ships, but no, Lexx makes Stanley look smart. The courier/security guard turned captain often has to explain simple concepts to the ship, but once he finally understands, he’s willing to do basically anything Stanley wants. 

The exception is when it comes time for food. Throughout the run of Lexx, Stanley keeps asking for fancy, exotic foods, and each time, the ship provides goop. There’s no fancy technology creating limitless amounts of food here. Only what the carnivorous ship is capable of producing for the rest of the crew, including Zev (Eba Habermann)/Xev (Xenia Seenburg), the rescued love-slave and later her clone, and Kai (Michael McManus), the thousands-year-old undead assassin. Fast, powerful, capable of feeding and taking care of the crew on the inside, Lexx is, thankfully, a one-of-a-kind ship. 

During the four seasons that Lexx was on the air, the quarters and bridge took on different appearances, explained by Lexx himself that he was growing, but in reality, the result of different budget levels for each season, letting the production crew go absolutely wild or, for Season 4, forced to restrain themselves. Throughout it all, Lexx is destroying planets both for noble reasons and Stanley’s selfish impulses, eating other ships and people, and remaining the weirdest ship in sci-fi that could only ever be a part of the strangest sci-fi series.

Twenty-three years’ worth of content of a singular project is a lot to keep up with. Some take on the task and catch up at a terrifyingly fast rate, while some have enjoyed the slow build, watching the growth over time. For NCIS fans, any combination is possible. The series is now in its 23rd season, and with that also comes the milestone of 500 episodes. The series has had multiple iterations of the Major Crime Response Team, and is even bringing one member back as the show crosses the milestone. This week, as NCIS celebrates such a momentous milestone, we are looking back at those 23 years as part of our retrospective Collider Rewind series, as Maggie Lovitt​​​​​​catches up with the cast and crew.

As new actors have joined the series over the years, it’s not necessarily a requirement that each new addition be well-versed in the two decades of the show’s history. After the exit of Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Scuito from NCIS‘ earliest days, in came Diona Reasonover as the team’s new forensic scientist, Kasie Hines. For Reasonover, becoming a regular in Season 16 came first, and her admiration for the already long-running procedural followed after. She told Lovitt:

“I actually joined and then became a fan. Not only have I brought myself into the fandom, but I’ve also gotten my wife into the fandom and my mom and my extended family into the fandom, which is great.”

Reasonover caveats her excitement with the fact that “whenever NCIS is on in real life, I’m not allowed to talk. I have this fantasy that we’d be watching the episodes, and I’d be pointing out like, ‘Oh, this camera angle came up because the director did it, or the writers suggested X, Y, and Z,’ but instead my family is just like, ‘Could you not talk? You’re interrupting my show.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m on that.’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, we can talk to you any time.’”

What keeps a show going for 23 years and counting, though? There are many things: the studio’s commitment to the show, the cast, the writers, the crew, the list goes on. NCIS is consistently in Paramount+’s Top 10 on the streamer, showing its continued watchability outside of people tuning in every Monday night for a new episode. It’s also supported by spin-offs such as NCIS: Origins that take fans back to the days when the Naval Criminal Investigative Service was simply called the NIS. It’s those same fans, tuning in eagerly to see the “origins” of their beloved franchise, that have carried it from the beginning. Reasonover shares big props to them, along with those behind the scenes, for getting NCIS to the 500-episode milestone:

“It really is the fans. I can’t give credit to anyone but the producers, the writers, and the fans. Really and truly, they are keeping it alive. Every time they send us theories, or they’re DMing me, like, ‘Is such-and-such coming back?’ I know that they’re tuned in, and hey, thank you. Thank you for watching, and thank you for making this show great, amazing. Thank you for making this such a cool vehicle to be a part of.”

The 500th episode of NCIS will be available to stream on Paramount+, and new episodes arrive every Monday on CBS. Stay with Collider for the latest updates and more from Collider Rewind.

Desiigner, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, was reportedly arrested in South Carolina, and his mugshot has left social media users stunned.

More On Desiigner, A.K.A. Sidney Royel Selby III, Arrested In South Carolina

On Wednesday, March 25, The Shade Room learned that Desiigner was taken into custody in Horry County, South Carolina, on the evening of Monday, March 23. Furthermore, Desiigner was reportedly brought in on domestic violence charges. Then, by Tuesday, March 24, he was reportedly released.

At this time, details of his arrest remain unknown.

Desiigner’s Mugshot Has Social Media Users Stunned

Social media users began reacting to Sidney Royel Selby III, a.k.a. Desiigner’s mugshot in TSR’s comment section.

More On Sidney Royel Selby III’s Previous Viral Arrest

As The Shade Room previously reported, in April 2023, Desiigner made headlines for speaking out after exposing himself during an international flight. At the time, he explained that he had been struggling with his mental health for “months.”

“While overseas for a concert I performed at, I had to be admitted to a hospital, I was not thinking clearly. They gave me meds and I had to hop on a plane ride home,” he posted on social media at the time. “I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the States and am admitting myself in a facility to help me…”

Later that month, Desiigner was charged with indecent exposure. By September of that year, the charge was reportedly lowered to a federal misdemeanor. Then, the following year, Sidney Royel Selby III reflected on the incident, per The Shade Room.

In 2025, Desiigner reportedly welcomed a baby with a woman named Joyce Bryant. At this time, the status of their relationship remains unclear.

One user said it gives them “rich lady hair” with “angel-like softness,” while another reviewer called it a “magical elixir” that “controls frizz” better than anything they’ve tried.

Whether it’s in a dystopian future with a community trapped inside a large silo, or on Earth as it is visited by an alien species, or inside the labyrinthine corridors and strange rooms of Lumon Industries, Apple TV has delivered some of the very best modern sci-fi available on streaming in the past five years. Not a streamer ready to rest on its laurels, Apple TV recently debuted the long-awaited second season of a monster-sized sci-fi hit from 2023: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

Returning on February 27, the second season is now four episodes in and continues to impress, as the MonsterVerse franchise evolves into an unstoppable hit. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, a “certified fresh” rating of 79% marks a small decrease from the incredible first installment, but most are still full of praise for one of Apple TV’s most ambitious series. The critics’ consensus on the site for Season 2 reads, “Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters‘ talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters.”

Starring father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, Pachinko star Anna Sawai, Flatliners‘ Kiersey Clemons, and more, Season 2 is going from strength to strength as each episode passes, with the upcoming Episode 5, “Furusato,” sure to be an unmissable halfway point in this gripping second season. A synopsis for the upcoming episode reads, “In Santa Soledad, Titan X becomes a target for Apex, forcing Shaw and the Randas to infiltrate the covert experiment.”

Amanda Peet is opening up about how she shared news of her breast cancer diagnosis with her three children.

The actress, 54, shares daughters Frances, 19, and Molly, 15, and son Henry, 11, with her husband, Game of Thrones cocreator David Benioff.

“They’ve been great. I definitely had to get myself together before including them,” Peet told E! News in an interview published on Tuesday, March 24.

She added, “The hard part was realizing that nothing is certain and there was going to be no perfect time to tell them.”

Many celebrities have spoken out about their personal battles with breast cancer over the years. Julia Louis-Dreyfus went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in September 2017 via Instagram. Nearly one year later, she had successfully beaten the illness and returned to work on Veep. “It sounds kind of corny, but there’s something about after […]

Peet first revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in an emotional essay for The New Yorker published on Saturday, March 21, noting that she got the news “last fall.”

“For many years, I’ve been told that I have ‘dense’ and ‘busy’ breasts — not as a compliment but as a warning that they require extra monitoring,” the Your Friends & Neighbors actress wrote. “I had been seeing a breast surgeon every six months for checkups. The Friday before Labor Day, I went for what I thought would be a routine scan.”

After undergoing a biopsy, Peet learned that she had stage I cancer, which was hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative. According to the Mayo Clinic, this is the most common type of breast cancer.

“I was happier than I’d been pre-diagnosis, when I was just a regular person who didn’t have cancer,” Peet wrote. “But after about 10 minutes, I remembered that I still needed the MRI and regressed to baseline terror. [My doctor,] Dr. K., said that the radiologist would check my lymph nodes, as well as ‘the left side for any surprise findings’ and call with the results within a week. It was dawning on me that cancer diagnoses come in a slow drip.”

Sarah Paulson is in awe of how her longtime friend Amanda Peet summarized her recent cancer battle. “My best friend, Amanda Peet … has written the most profoundly gorgeous essay about the loss of her parents, while dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis,” Paulson, 51, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 21. “@newyorkermag has published […]

“The morphine was taking forever to kick in, and she was looking at the ceiling and whimpering, so I climbed onto her rented hospital bed to get in her line of vision,” Peet wrote of her final moments with her mom. “We locked eyes and she quieted down, and then she and I continued to stare at each other for what felt like several minutes.”

“I wasn’t sure whether my mom knew that she was looking at me or whether I was just a constellation of interesting, disembodied shapes. I said, ‘Howdy doodle’ — that’s how she often greeted me. But then I realized that she was communing without words, and I followed suit. Time was running out, and, besides, I had already told her everything,” she said.
