Director says he went ‘Rogue’ with cameo
Director Gareth Edwards says he gave himself a cameo in the “Star Wars” spinoff “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” But, as with most things “Star Wars,” Edwards is staying mum on what exactly that entails.
The reveal, he said, might have to wait for the DVD extras. Edwards is a self-proclaimed “Star Wars” super fan and has said that as a child he used to watch the first 10 minutes of the 1977 “Star Wars” every day before school.
“Rogue One” chronicles the saga of the rebels who steal the plans for the Death Star. It is the first in a series of spinoffs set inside the universe of “Star Wars.”
Teyana Taylor: Take your time healing, Kanye
Teyana Taylor has some practical advice for her mentor, Kanye West.
The singer-dancer, who has performed with the Grammy-winning artist, wants him to take his time recovering.
“Take however much time you need, you know. Time heals all,” Taylor said on the red carpet Friday for the “VH1 Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night” show.
“If he needs to get his mind right, then I think everybody should respect that and let him do that,” Taylor said.
Last month, West was hospitalized in Los Angeles after displaying erratic and angry behavior. It forced him to cancel the remaining 21 dates on his tour.
Taylor and West won best dance performance at the Soul Train Awards for “Fade.”
