Jordon Hudson didn't appreciate Mary Kay Cabot's joke about Bill Belichick
Nearly three months after Jordon Hudson took the football world by storm, by reportedly storming out of a CBS interview — and by directing North Carolina coach Bill Belichick to not respond to the simple question of how they met — Hudson had largely faded into the background of Belichick's looming debut as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. She's now interjecting herself into the conversation again, by responding to the joke made on Friday night by Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. After explaining how Belichick would yell at Cabot during her early years on the Browns beat, Cabot said this: 'Now I totally understand why Bill gave me such a hard time,' Cabot said. 'I was 28 at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old.' Was it objectively funny? Of course it was. In the cesspool formerly known as Twitter, however, plenty of humorless still reside. One of them responded to our tweet of Cabot's joke with this: 'Not much of a 'laugh.' No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than roprt [sic] on the story.' That's when it got interesting. Hudson saw our tweet. She saw the response. And she reposted the response. Hey, she can do whatever she wants. But there's a real risk of coming off as woefully thin skinned when whining about a joke that goes with the low-hanging-fruit territory of a 49-year age difference. It all goes back to one of the common themes of fame. People who crave attention think they can have it on their own terms. That's not how it works. With the exposure comes scrutiny. And life becomes a lot easier when you learn how to ignore the criticism.

JP Saxe's North American tour cancelled over low ticket sales despite online appeal
TORONTO - A Toronto singer-songwriter who was set to tour North America this fall says he's cancelled his series of concerts over sluggish ticket sales and the high cost of life on the road. JP Saxe took to social media this week, saying that if he didn't sell about 20,000 tickets to his upcoming Make Yourself at Home tour within 48 hours, it would likely be cancelled. In a follow-up video, he says 2,000 more tickets were sold, but it wasn't enough to save the tour. Saxe says he's grateful for the extra sales, that tickets will be fully refunded and he's looking to make sure similar cancellations never happen again. The Grammy-nominated musician, best known for his 2019 single 'If the World Was Ending' with Julia Michaels, was set to play more than 25 dates, including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. The cancellation comes as live music faces mass pressure, compounded by a shaky economy, years of inflation and concert ticket prices that — in many cases — have skyrocketed by hundreds of dollars this year. 'Those 2,000 tickets were a reminder ... of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together, and this really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me,' he said in a video posted to social media platform TikTok. 'I'm grateful to each one of you who bought a ticket, and I'm really sorry.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025.

Anthony Mackie Says an Unreleased Film From the ‘Worst Director to Ever Direct' Almost Cost Him His ‘Hurt Locker' Role: ‘They Offered It To Somebody Else'
Anthony Mackie is opening up about how he almost lost his role in 'The Hurt Locker' because of another director's unreleased film. During a recent episode of Variety's 'Know Their Lines,' Mackie shared the backstory behind being cast in the 2009 Oscar-winner. More from Variety Anthony Mackie Jokes He's a 'White Dude Legend' Since His Co-Stars Often Get Award Nominations Over Him: 'I Made Ryan Gosling Famous. Jeremy Renner...' 'Captain America: Brave New World' Sets Disney+ Streaming Date 'Sneaks' Review: Sneakerhead Culture Gets Animated in Pedestrian Kiddie Feature ''Hurt Locker' is probably one of the most important acting experiences I had,' he began. 'We shot that in 2007, and I remember I was doing a movie in North Carolina with quite possibly the worst director to ever direct. Ironically, because of that the movie never came out.' He continued, 'Because of that, the movie went over and I had to pull out of 'Hurt Locker.' They offered it to somebody else, and he said no because it wasn't enough money.' Despite Mackie being tied up with the other film, the production offered him the role again and was willing to wait until he wrapped the unreleased project. 'I went from this sucky director who had no business in being in the business or in the director's chair to Kathryn Bigelow,' Mackie said. 'The moment I landed in Amman, Jordan, we hit the ground running [with] cultural research, military research, character studies – the real work a director does. It really was poignant to me the type of people I want to work with and the type of people who shouldn't be working.' Mackie's performance in 'The Hurt Locker' was a career-defining role as he played Sergeant J.T. Sanborn, a soldier and member of the fictional bomb disposal unit in Baghdad, Iraq. The film received widespread critical praise for its portrayal of the war in Iraq. At the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010, 'The Hurt Locker' took home six awards from its nine nominations for best motion picture, best achievement in directing, best writing, original screenplay, best achievement in film editing, best achievement in sound mixing and best achievement in sound editing.
