<p>Julianne Hough, who's one of the three hosts of the recently announced controversial reality competition series, 'The Activist', has responded to the backlash the show has faced since its announcement.</p>

<p><br />
The show's also set to see <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-priyanka-chopra-jonas-becomes-a-member-of-producers-guild-of-america-expresses-gratitude-413402">Priyanka Chopra Jonas</a> and Usher take on hosting duties.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In 'The Activist', these three celebrities will be joining a team of six activists each who will be assigned various issues like health, education and environment. There will be challenges for them to take on and the groups will be fighting each other for maximum online engagement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reports confirm, there will be musical performances too and the participants may get an opportunity to attend the G-20 Summit in Rome, Italy, where they will be given a chance to secure funding for their respective causes.</p>

<p><br />
The show came has been <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-priyanka-chopra-jonas-usher-to-host-an-activism-competition-series-netizens-are-fuming-412266">vehemently criticized</a> for the competition aspect of it, among others.</p>

<p><br />
Now, in a lengthy Instagram post, Julianne &nbsp;has addressed the controversy revolving around the show. "After the press release announcing The Activist, I heard you say that the show was performative, promoted pseudo-activism over real activism, felt tone-deaf, like Black Mirror, The Hunger Games, and that the hosts weren’t qualified to assess activism because we are celebrities and not activists," she wrote.</p>

<p>"I heard you say that there was hypocrisy in the show because at the root of activism is a fight against capitalism and the trauma that it causes so many people and that the show itself felt like a shiny capitalistic endeavor," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
She further added, "And because of all this, there is a feeling of insult, dehumanization, insensitivity and hurt that is being rightfully felt. I do not claim to be an activist and wholeheartedly agree that the judging aspect of the show missed the mark and furthermore, that I am not qualified to act as a judge."</p>

<p><br />
In the post, Julianne also addressed the controversy stirred by her allegedly poor choice of Halloween costume in 2013, when she had darkened her skin to resemble 'Orange Is The New Black' character Crazy Eyes.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“On top of all this, many people are just becoming aware that I wore blackface in 2013, which only further added insult to injury. Wearing blackface was a poor choice based on my own white privilege and white body bias that hurt people and is something that I regret doing to this day,” she shared.</p>

<p><br />
"However, the regret that I live with pales in comparison to the lived experiences of so many. My commitment has been to reflect and act differently. Not perfectly, but hopefully with a more developed understanding that racism and white supremacy is harmful to ALL people. I’ve definitely not addressed all the different, valuable feedback about what the show missed and my missteps. I want you to know that I am still listening, because this is a messy and uncomfortable conversation, and I’m committed to being here for all of it," she explained.</p>

<p><br />
The celebrity host also for the show went on to explain why she accepted the offer in the first place. "In doing so, I felt it would help educate, mobilize, and inspire people around the world to get involved in activism because many worthy causes need attention, funding, and most importantly, the power to effect real change."</p>

<p><br />
Julianne wants this to be a learning experience and respond authentically. "I’m going to continue to listen, unlearn, learn and take the time to be fully present with everything that you have all shared because I don’t want to just react. I want to digest, understand and respond in a way that is authentic and aligned with the woman I am becoming.</p>

<p><br />
I also understand that there is no response that I could share that would make everyone happy, however, I want you to know that this is a conversation and I’m still listening," she concluded.</p>

Julianne Hough, who's one of the three hosts of the recently announced controversial reality competition series, 'The Activist', has responded to the backlash the show has faced since its announcement.

Julianne Hough, who's one of the three hosts of the recently announced controversial reality competition series, 'The Activist', has responded to the backlash the show has faced since its announcement. The show's also set to see Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Usher take on hosting duties. In 'The Activist', these three celebrities will be joining a team of six activists each who will be assigned various issues like health, education and environment. There will be challenges for them to take on and the groups will be fighting each other for maximum online engagement. Also read: Priyanka Chopra Jonas becomes a member of Producers Guild of America, expresses gratitude Reports confirm, there will be musical performances too and the participants may get an opportunity to attend the G-20 Summit in Rome, Italy, where they will be given a chance to secure funding for their respective causes. The show came has been vehemently criticized for the competition aspect of it, among others. Now, in a lengthy Instagram post, Julianne has addressed the controversy revolving around the show. "After the press release announcing The Activist, I heard you say that the show was performative, promoted pseudo-activism over real activism, felt tone-deaf, like Black Mirror, The Hunger Games, and that the hosts weren’t qualified to assess activism because we are celebrities and not activists," she wrote. Also read: Vicky Kaushal to feature in 'Into The Wild With Bear Grylls' "I heard you say that there was hypocrisy in the show because at the root of activism is a fight against capitalism and the trauma that it causes so many people and that the show itself felt like a shiny capitalistic endeavor," she added. She further added, "And because of all this, there is a feeling of insult, dehumanization, insensitivity and hurt that is being rightfully felt. I do not claim to be an activist and wholeheartedly agree that the judging aspect of the show missed the mark and furthermore, that I am not qualified to act as a judge." In the post, Julianne also addressed the controversy stirred by her allegedly poor choice of Halloween costume in 2013, when she had darkened her skin to resemble 'Orange Is The New Black' character Crazy Eyes. “On top of all this, many people are just becoming aware that I wore blackface in 2013, which only further added insult to injury. Wearing blackface was a poor choice based on my own white privilege and white body bias that hurt people and is something that I regret doing to this day,” she shared. "However, the regret that I live with pales in comparison to the lived experiences of so many. My commitment has been to reflect and act differently. Not perfectly, but hopefully with a more developed understanding that racism and white supremacy is harmful to ALL people. I’ve definitely not addressed all the different, valuable feedback about what the show missed and my missteps. I want you to know that I am still listening, because this is a messy and uncomfortable conversation, and I’m committed to being here for all of it," she explained. Also read: Facebook documents show how toxic Instagram is for teens: Reports The celebrity host also for the show went on to explain why she accepted the offer in the first place. "In doing so, I felt it would help educate, mobilize, and inspire people around the world to get involved in activism because many worthy causes need attention, funding, and most importantly, the power to effect real change." Julianne wants this to be a learning experience and respond authentically. "I’m going to continue to listen, unlearn, learn and take the time to be fully present with everything that you have all shared because I don’t want to just react. I want to digest, understand and respond in a way that is authentic and aligned with the woman I am becoming. I also understand that there is no response that I could share that would make everyone happy, however, I want you to know that this is a conversation and I’m still listening," she concluded.

<p>In a recent interview, Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat was questioned if she had faced objectionable situations in her career or was ever propositioned in the film industry.</p>

<p><br />
"I haven't faced too much of it, but of course, a little bit of it I have. But I think they were all intimidated of me or scared of me. Mujhe proposition karne se pehle mere khyaal se woh log nervous se ho jaate the (They maybe got nervous before propositioning me)," she told an Indian entertainment news portal.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/mallika-sherawat-had-predicted-kamala-harris-future-long-back-heres-proof-341893">Sherawat </a>added, "Their perception was that she is bold and she'll give it back; she's not a very shy or scared girl. So my image also helped me in a certain manner…” Asked if she has actively tried to 'stay away' from people who give off bad vibes, she said, “I've always, because all this happens when you put yourself in that position, I feel. I didn't go to Bollywood parties, I didn't meet any producer or director at night in a hotel room, or at night in the office. I kept myself away, and I thought, ‘Jo meri kismat mein hai woh mere paas ayega (I’ll get what is destined for me). I don't need to do all these things."</p>

Hollywood star Octavia Spencer had recently cracked a joke that didn't land with Britney Spears' fans. It so happened that once after Spears posted an announcement of her engagement via Instagram, the 'Hidden Figures' star left a funny comment, saying, "make him sign a prenup." Asghari himself took to his Instagram Stories to take the banter ahead, adding, "Thank you everyone who is concerned about The prenup! Of course we're getting iron clad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection incase she dumps me one day." Facing backlash from the couple's fans, Octavia Spencer has issued a social media statement to clarify that her prenup comment was in good humour. "Y'all, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement and me being me I made a joke. My intention was to make them laugh not cause pain. I've reached out to this lovely couple privately to apologize and now want to restore just a smidge of happiness they were robbed of. Britney's fans have seen her through a lot of pain and she's found happiness. We're thrilled for her. So let's show them love," she wrote.

<p>To be living in a sports car-flying, high-octane-chase frequenting Free City (an actual city, mostly) and growing restless with its mundanity? What a shame! Perhaps not, Guy (Ryan Reynolds) wakes up with a plastic smile plastered on his face every morning, gets coffee on his way to the bank he works for, mouths the catch sentence “Don’t have a good day. Have a great day!” before heading to the beach for beers with buddy, Buddy (Lil Rel Howery). He may be oblivious to his greatness, but, in a parallel universe, everyone’s worshipping this Blue Shirt Guy—the human-coined moniker bestowed upon him—and just how incredibly nice he is in this otherwise venom-spewing world. Turns out—just like Utopia—he is a myth and his happiness, programmed.</p>

<p><img alt="The ever-chirpy Ryan Reynolds in 'Free Guy'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1773670f-c0ac-404c-97f9-6cd274740b3b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-09-13T120316.750.jpg" /><br />
Depending on whose narrative you buy into, Guy is somewhere between the first every Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the gaming world to ‘live and feel’ and/or&nbsp;an algorithm ‘who thinks he is alive’. Either way, he is crucial to Keys (Joe Keery) and Millie’s (Jodie Comer) exposé circling gaming company Soonami’s head honcho, Antwan (Taika Waititi).&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Not here to give a crash course on complex gaming mechanisms, director Shawn Levy not-so-smoothly ushers us into the chaotic world of Free Guy—a game at the centre of a lawsuit between Antwan and Millie. Levy’s gaming universe is built on two extremes—the gun-brandishing goons and the peace loving non-playing characters aka N.P.Cs aka sidekicks to main players—and he spears no time in explaining who’s what. The baddies look ghastly and brutal, and do ghastly and brutal. The sweethearts are preachy to the point that they are indigestible. However, it is the metaphors and underlying themes that stand a fair chance of resonating with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-ryan-reynolds-thanks-friends-hugh-jackman-dwayne-johnson-and-others-for-cameos-406611">Reynolds’</a> fan base: the blurring lines between the reel and real world, a man’s capability of pulling himself out of obscurity and be a ‘hero’, the lives of nerds who drown themselves in the characters they play ("Mom, don’t touch my socks!"&nbsp;says one, in the middle of an intense online battle).&nbsp;</p>

In terms of CGI and special effects (Ethan Tobman, Steve Cooper and Beat Frutiger), the whole art department goes full throttle on putting their best foot forward—multi-hued unicorns, buildings perishing to dust only to resurrect seconds later… you name it!&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Frankly, Ryan Reynolds’ ‘too handsome’ avatar devouring bubble gum ice-creams and imparting lessons on non-violence is too mushy even by his standards. But, boy… that man’s got charm. And, taking that charm to a whole new level is Jodie Comer’s dual personality—of earthly Millie and the other-worldly Molotov Girl. In today’s digital crazed setting, one scene, sadly, sticks out as&nbsp;oddly familiar—when the actress’ gamer&nbsp;version confesses that she can no longer tell the two worlds apart. If you know, you know.&nbsp;</p>
