Emerging pop artist Wentworth has had a controversial entrance to the ARIA awards (Australian music awards) sporting a ‘last supper’ outfit of several cancelled celebrities.

The pop artist walked the carpet with 12 life size models of celebs who have been recently cancelled such as Lea Michele, Kanye, Kevin Spacey, Sia, Armie Hammer and Marilyn Manson, among others.

The models are all wearing biblical robes and are stationed across a long table with the words ‘the last supper’ embroidered across the front.

The outfit has been criticized heavily for glorifying celebrities who have been removed from the spotlight with critics saying that they were removed ‘for a reason’ and should not be publicised in a positive light.

The full list of celebrities includes:

1. Kevin spacey
2. Kanye
3. Ellen
4. Sia
5. Will smith
6. Chrissy Teigen
7. JK Rowling
8. Marilyn Manson
9. Lea Michelle
10. Armie Hammer
11. Johnny Depp
12. Amber Heard

‘It’s simply a commentary on cancel culture’ says Wentworth. ‘I have felt like an outsider my whole entire life. I know what it feels like to be on the outside looking in.’

‘I’m not glorifying cancelled celebrities, I’m just opening a conversation’

‘Cancel culture is so toxic but at the same time it is the consumers and general public who are tearing down these people. I’m simply making a commentary and asking the question “do they deserve a second chance”’

‘I believe in a way that the cancelled celebrities let it happen. You can either be cancelled or you can not let it happen. We have many celebrities who just wont accept it. Jeffree Star, James Charles or Taylor Swift to give some examples’

“Taylor Swift had the greatest comeback from being cancelled in modern popular culture history by using the cancellation and making it into an album and an era.”

Wentworth the artist arrived to the ARIA awards red carpet in 2015 being birthed from a giant cashmere cocoon so the controversy isn’t completely shocking. This artist is clearly one who likes to push the boundaries.

The world’s most prestigious international football tournament kicked off on Sunday in Qatar with a pool A fixture, ending in a 2-0 Ecuadorian victory over the host country. And even though Senegal fought valiantly for over 80 minutes, the first African country to enter the competition suffered the same fate against the Netherlands, which emerged victorious in their first World Cup match since 2014.

Qualifying for a second FIFA World Cup in a row, Senegal made its first appearance yesterday in the second match of group A. But the Qatar debut of the Lions of Teranga did not go as planned. Despite holding their ground during 80 minutes, the African champion could not stop Cody Gakpo from scoring a late goal for the Dutch side in the 84^th minute. Davy Klaassen would ensure victory for the Oranje in the final seconds of the extra time, in the 99^th minute.

The Senegalese team had been off to a solid start, however, creating several chances throughout the game. The first half might have been loaded with Dutch opportunities, but a wicked right-footed shot by forward Ismaila Sarr would have made its way into the net if not for a defensive header from Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk. And the squad led by coach Aliou Cissé picked up the pace after halftime. Boulaye Dia saw his shot turned aside by Dutch goalkeeper Andries Noppert, while a powerful strike by Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye was deflected in the 73^rd.

But as stout as it were, the Senegalese backline eventually gave way minutes after Louis van Gaal bolstered his attacking line-up. Hampered by a hamstring injury, Memphis Depay subbed in for fellow forward Vincent Janssen in the 62^nd minute, giving the Netherlands much-needed ammunition to strike that precious goal after a mostly uninspired second half. With only six minutes left on the pitch before injury time, Gakpo finally broke the deadlock following a costly mistake by Senegalese goalie Edouard Mendy. The Chelsea goalkeeper was no luckier when he failed to control an inoffensive-looking shot from Depay, leading the ball directly into Davy Klaassen, who would secure a comfortable win for the Dutch side.

Many fans took to social media like Twitter to lament Mendy’s poor performance. But the absence of another key player was even more keenly felt. Picking up an injury during Bayern’s 6-1 victory over Werder Bremen, star forward Sadio Mané was initially included in the Senegal squad regardless. But the team disclosed his withdrawal from the World Cup in a news conference held last Thursday.

Still, the Senegalese squad remains hopeful for the future. Despite the absence of its talented playmaker and this early loss, the game is not over yet for the enterprising winners of the 2022 Africa Cup. While the Netherlands sits joint-top with Ecuador in group A, Senegal can still dream of making it to the World Cup round of 16 starting on December 3^rd. Twenty years after reaching the quarter-finals at the 2002 FIFA World Cup jointly held by Japan and South Korea, Senegal could even be heading for another exploit. Besides Senegal, only two African teams ever made it this far, Ghana and Cameroon. Nigeria and Algeria have also qualified for the knockout stages but failed to go any further.

One of five African nations to participate in the World Cup, Senegal is also the strongest African side for bookmakers. Online bookies like SBO display a range of betting options for punters to try their luck. With experts scouring the internet for the most profitable odds and bonuses, newcomers and seasoned bettors alike are a click away from the best platforms out there. Free guides and tips also help hone off a winning strategy. And of course, many more sports both niche and popular are on offer to make bank out of.

But if you’re sticking with catching football games, the Lions of Teranga are off to face Qatar on November 25^th before taking upon Ecuador on November 29^th. Tunisia is the second African nation to enter the stage against Denmark on Tuesday, while Morocco kicks off its competition on Wednesday against Croatia. So, who will leave the most memorable impression on all football lovers across the globe? Stay tuned for dozens of thrilling games before a new world champion surfaces in Doha on December 18^th.

Jennifer Hudson has her sights set on the House of Mouse.

After playing legendary roles such as Effie White in Dreamgirls and Aretha Franklin in Respect, you would think J. Hud wouldn’t have any more dream roles on her wish list. But there is one Disney character the Oscar-winning star revealed she’d love to play.

“I wouldn’t mind being Calliope, the head Muse, in Hercules the musical,” she exclusively said on the Nov. 22 episode of E! News (airing Nov. 22 at 11:30 p.m.) while chatting with Courtney Lopez on the set of The Jennifer Hudson Show. “That’s a dream.”

With a live-action version of the 1997 animated film currently in the works from The Russo Brothers and director Guy Ritchie, Jennifer seems like the perfect fit for the part—especially because it’s one she’s already played.

“I was Calliope when I worked on the Disney Wonder cruise ship, long before Dreamgirls even,” the 41-year-old revealed. “And so, I’m ready for the role.”

And on top of fulfilling her other dream of being a talk show host, Jennifer recently embodied another iconic role for her Sister Act-inspired Halloween show. She transformed into Whoopi Goldberg‘s Deloris Van Cartier/Sister Mary Clarence to perform a medley of songs from the film.

As for whether she will take on the film’s sequel Back in the Habit for next year’s spooky festivities, Jennifer told Courtney, “It would be a dream to.”

“Even being able to recreate it for Halloween, when I came in, I was like, ‘This is a dream,'” she continued. “So, oh my god, that would be amazing.”

The Sister Act series will soon be getting the Disney treatment, as the company announced in 2020 that a third installment in the beloved franchise is in the works at Disney+.
