Sia denies doing blackface
Taylor Swift fans are coming out in full force, attempting to destroy anyone who sides with music manager Scooter Braun after he acquired Big Machine Records and the rights to most of Swift’s music. Sia is among those supporting Braun, so Swifties accused her of racism by dredging up a clip of her wearing black paint on her face and neck in a 2011 performance. “For the swift fans trying to make out that I would ever do blackface please see this video,” she responded. “I was painting myself into the backdrop, it was a precursor to the wig…”
Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber and others have joined the “Chandelier” singer in defending Braun, while Halsey and others took Swift’s side. The former execs at Big Machine, meanwhile, say Swift had plenty of opportunities to earn the rights back to her music. ET reports Braun plans to speak to Swift privately about the issue.

‘The Walking Dead’ comic ends
“The Walking Dead” is over — in its original form, at least. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that “TWD” comic book series came to a surprise end Wednesday with issue No. 193, which is just how creator Robert Kirkman wanted it. “I hate knowing what’s coming,” Kirkman wrote. “As a fan, I hate it when I realize I’m in the third act of a movie and the story is winding down. I hate that I can count commercial breaks and know I’m nearing the end of a TV show. I hate that you can feel when you’re getting to the end of a book, or a graphic novel… I love long movies for that very reason.”
No spoilers about how the comics end, but the zombie franchise is still very much alive with multiple TV series, video games, and upcoming movies. Some of the characters and storylines deviate on screen from the source material, which debuted in 2003.
