I'll just take it off in one bit. Go!'
He continued: "I'm like, okay, this guy knows exactly what time it is. Let the master do his job. Even when you see him in the work shed, and the way he puts on the leather gloves and the wire in his mouth, [it is evident] he just knows what time it is." Tarantino's Once Upon a Time...

Why Lionel Richie 'hates' his buddy Stevie Wonder
Asked about his friendship with Stevie, Lionel said: "So let me tell you this -- I went to his house and he said to me 'Wanna hear a new song, I have got it in the car, come on go with me'. So we go out to the car and he says 'You sit on the passenger side and I will sit on the driver's side'. He goes in, cranks the car up, and he puts the tape right in and starts driving back the driveway. And then I panic and scream 'what are you doing!" and he says 'Gotcha didn't I?'
"Also I would hate to get around him because every time I would get around him, I would not want to give a phrase to him because he'll write a song with it. See you later I say, there's a song he'll write it up," he added.

Was Idris Elba paid to say he is Coronavirus positive? The actor responds
Actor Idris Elba has slammed accusations that he was paid to say that he had contracted coronavirus, calling it a "bullsh*t" theory.
The 47-year-old actor, who recently announced that he had tested positive for coronavirus, took to Instagram Live to shut down rumours and conspiracy theory claiming that celebrities have been paid to say that they have been infected by the virus, reports etonline.com.
"I think the debate about rich and poor and who's getting it and who's not, I think, is not a healthy debate. It's like, I got a test but I also got COVID. Does that make me preferential? I don't understand that," Elba told his followers.
"It shouldn't be about whether rich or poor gets it. I think that the negativity around test-shaming is counterproductive. I don't see what people get out of that. And also this idea that someone like myself is gonna be paid to say I've got coronavirus, that's absolute bullsh*t. Such stupidness," he added.

'Bond girl' Honor Blackman passes away
British actress Honor Blackman, who became the oldest 'Bond girl' when she starred across Sean Connery in "Goldfinger", has died of old-age complications at the age of 94, reports said on Monday
Her family said she died peacefully of natural causes at home in Lewes, East Sussex, the BBC reported. Blackman's martial arts training helped her win the role of lesbian pilot Pussy Galore, an associate of gold-obsessed Bond villain Goldfinger before becoming a Bond ally, in the third James Bond film (1964).
"I was already a James Bond fan but I asked to read (the novel) Goldfinger before taking the part," she once admitted. "By the time I had read it, I was convinced it was absolutely me."
At 39, she was five years older than Connery but sparkled in the role. Blackman, who had been a dispatch rider during the Second World War, however, came to public notice as the feisty, black-clad female agent in 1960s TV show "The Avengers".

"The problem is that insecurity gets put onto you through comments that you read over the years. You start to think, 'I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm not the fresh girl on the scene I once was'. "I can proudly say, 'Yeah - I use my looks because I'm very comfortable in my skin and I like my body', but that gives people an opportunity to say, 'Oh, well - you're getting older'," Rita said.
She also spoke about Jennifer Lopez, mentioning how she rose to fame in her thirties. "I stand up for these girls because age really doesn't matter - J. Lo had her first hit in her thirties." She also thinks the obsession surrounding age is sexist. "And men don't get asked how old they are all the time," Rita added.
