On Wednesday, Denzel Washington had an unexpected fan encounter before attending a film benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ever gracious, Denzel stopped to greet fans, pose for selfies, and share a few smiles as he made his way into the museum. Fans could be heard shouting, “Show some love, Denzel!”—and he promised he’d stop for more photos on his way out.
But one particularly loud fan had other plans. After a snide remark, Denzel walked over to the man and calmly set the record straight: “Yo, yo, yo. Put this down. I heard you. You keep talking about showing love—I got nothing but love. But respect me. I said I’ll see you when I get out. Which part of that don’t y’all understand?” And with a nod, Denzel walked away, reminding us all that even the biggest stars deserve a little respect.
In other celebrity news, Mel Gibson is in hot water again, this time over remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris. When asked at LAX about the idea of Donald Trump returning to the White House, Gibson didn’t hold back, saying, “I know what won’t be good… if we let her in. She has a miserable track record, no policies to speak of, and the IQ of a fence post.” The controversial comment quickly made headlines, sparking reactions across the internet.
And here’s a story that’s hard to forget—unfortunately. On a recent Spirit Airlines flight from Dallas to LA, a passenger looked up to find an unexpected travel companion: a large rat staring down from an illuminated overhead bin. The shocked passenger captured the sight on video, now on TMZ, showing the rat’s snout and paws through the compartment. Thankfully, the rat was in the bin and couldn’t roam the cabin. Spirit Airlines released a statement saying they’re aware of the incident and are taking steps to address the matter.
