Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is begging for the public’s forgiveness after a racist rant cost him his job with the WWE. “Please forgive me,” he said during an interview on Good Morning America with Amy Robach. “There’s not a racist bone in my body.” Hogan says he contemplated suicide in the days following the leaking of a recording of his rant, “I was to the point where I wanted to kill myself, you know? I was completely broken and destroyed and said, ‘What’s the easiest way out of this?’” He adds that he now knows that casually throwing around the n-word, like he did as a kid growing up in a rough neighborhood in Tampa, is “unacceptable.”

Looks like Zac Efron’s new movie is a big box office bomb! “We Are Your Friends” had the third worst opening of all time for a new major studio film released in 2,000 theatres or more. The bust made $1.8 million dollars since it was released Friday, August 28th. In the movie, Zac Efron stars as an aspiring DJ who is trying to impress reputable,  established DJs when he finds a mentor in one. Then, Efron falls for his new mentor’s girlfriend and has to make some tough decisions between love and his career. Will you still watch the movie?

The White House is welcoming Kanye West’s presidential bid with a response.  Just one day after Kanye announced at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards that he intends on running for president in 2020, Press Secretary Josh Earnest responded saying that he approves of the rapper’s announcement and is looking “forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat.” The comment was made while he was travelling with President Barack Obama. While Kanye has yet to elaborate on his bid, this isn’t the first time he’s talked politics. He has been quoted previously criticizing the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and compared his wife Kim Kardashian’s fame to that of the First Lady.
