Here’s video of Hollywood movie star Idris Elba fighting in a REAL LIFE kickboxing match in the U.K. over the weekend … kicking a little ass as Madonna watches on. It went down at York Hall in London … and it looks like all the training Elba’s…

Quincy Jones: Terminally Ill Comic to Make HBO Debut Tonight
On August 6, 2015 comedian Quincy Jones was told he had one year to live.
After undergoing tests due to an accumulation of fluid in his belly, Jones, 32, was diagnosed with stage IV mesothelioma.
Highly respected in stand-up comedy circles for his incisive wit and tireless work ethic (He often performed several hundred shows in a single year.), Jones – no relation to the music producer Quincy Jones – was a virtual unknown to the general public until his recent appearances on Ellen.
DeGeneres says she was impressed not only by Jones’ talent but by his perseverance, courage and optimism in the face of unimaginable adversity.
So she brought him on her show twice: once to tell his story, and a second time to receive the surprise of a lifetime:
“Here’s the thing that you mentioned last time, that you want to do a comedy special,” DeGeneres says to Jones in the clip above.
“So what you don’t know, we called the head of HBO. And your people didn’t even tell you this, but HBO is going to air your special.”
Jones’ reaction is one for the ages.
“I was hoping Netflix or Comedy Central,” the comic told People magazine in a recent interview. “HBO was like the Holy Grail.”
As for his illness, Jones remains confident that it can be beaten:
“I don’t think I’m going to die in a year. I can’t see myself withering away on August 6, 2016,’ ” he says.
“So, when I got out of the hospital, I did what I needed to do to fight the cancer, which is chemotherapy. Changing my diet. Like, there was almost a desperation for me to survive. And that’s what I did.
“There is no cancer when I’m on stage,” he adds.
Jones’ special, Burning the Light, premieres tonight at 10 p.m. EST on HBO.

Slurpee Doughnut Makes Debut, Portends Apocalpyse
How many times has the following situation happened to you?
You go into a 7-Eleven. You purchase a Slurpee. And you think to yourself: Man, I really wish I could eat this delicacy instead of drink it!
Well… good news! Now you can!
Select 7-Eleven locations around the country are now offering the Wild Cherry Slurpee Doughnut, a cake-based dessert item that retails for 99 cents.
For this bargain of a price, you can enjoy a treat that is topped with wild cherry-flavored icing and pink sugar crystals, while also featuring a pink inside with cherry pieces.
Purchase it instead of a Slurpee!
Purchase it and a Slurpee and dunk your doughnut in your Slurpee!
The possibilities are endless. Or, to be more accurate, we just listed the two most realistic possibilities.
Instagram users who have tried this item have so far said “it tastes bad” and the “icing is weird as hell its like eating crystals.”
Will you give it a try? Why or why not?
Consider whether to include the Slurpee Doughnut on your menu and then scroll through the following photo gallery to see where it ranks among all-time terrible food ideas:

Ariel Winter & Sarah Hyland Debut NEW Hair Color on Instagram!
Ariel Winter just debuted a brand new look on Instagram: she’s a redhead!
The former brunette shared a photo and a video showing off her new fiery tresses.
“I’m now a strawberry!” she wrote in the caption. Although, to be precise, she used a strawberry emoji.
It’s shocking what a simple hair change can do – the 18-year-old actress looks nearly unrecognizable (yet still gorgeous) in the new pic.
We can’t help but wonder if the new look will be incorporated into the Modern Family storyline, but a bold move like this is not one we’d expect from her character, the smart yet nerdy Alex Dunphy.
Winter’s hair transformation comes on the heels of a color update recently made by one of her co-stars.
Sarah Hyland, who plays Winter’s older sister on the sitcom, showed off a new, markedly darker hairstyle just two days ago.
Hyland traded in her brond (that’s a hybrid of blond and brunette, FYI), ombre locks for a raven hue.
“Hello from the darker side,” she wrote in the caption (channeling her inner Adele, we assume).
We don’t know if the color changes were coordinated or just a coincidence, but we have to say they’re both pulling it off marvelously.

Zayn Malik Confirms Release of "Dirty, Raw" Debut Single
Zayn Malik is officially a solo artist.
The former One Direction member, whose departure from the beloved boy band left millions of young women in tears last March, has confirmed that his debut single will drop on January 29.
It will be titled “Pillow Talk” and Malik is shirtless for the track’s official artwork.
You may still hold a grudge against the guy for leaving Harry Styles and company high and dry and all… but you must admit:
HUBBA. HUBBA.
Based on the title of Malik’s upcoming song, it seems pretty clear just what topic it will cover (sex!), but in case some folks need it spelled out for them (S-E-X), Malik is here to be very up front about the basis for the single.
“I think I’m pretty black and white what it’s about,” he told the British Sunday Times, adding:
“Everybody has sex, and it’s something people wanna hear about.
“It’s part of everybody’s life, a very BIG part of life! And you don’t wanna sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about.”
And Malik is doing more than just talking about sex: he’s having it!
The artist and Gigi Hadid are clearly a couple.
But forget being a couple.
Fans are dying to know if Malik will ever be part of a quintet again. Could he ever see himself rejoining One Direction?
“I don’t know,” he told the newspaper, emphasizing than there’s no “beef” of any kind.
“If the time was right and that was the thing to do, then I would make that decision when it came around.”
One Direction, of course, is taking a hiatus for at least the rest of 2016. So we’ve got plenty of time to ponder a possible reunion.

Kylie Jenner Makes Vogue Debut: See the Photos!!!
Kylie Jenner has gone nearly naked for Vogue.
No, not in the way that Kylie Jenner typically goes nearly naked on Instagram.
This time around, for her debut in the national fashion magazine, the 18-year old is giving fans a look at her bare face, as there’s scarcely a scant of makeup on it.
Jenner also shares her spread with Bella Hadid (Gigi’s younger model sister) and Lottie Moss (Kate Moss’ 17-year-old sister), with the three young women looking far more conservative than usual in their long, flowing dresses.
Says Kylie to Vogue, giving credit to famous siblings such as Kim Kardashian:
“I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for all my sisters.”
Jenner also shared the following photo from the shoot on Instagram, writing as a caption that “another of my wildest dreams has come true … I’m in Vogue!!!”
Yes you are, Kylie Jenner.
You’re also about to fleece a bunch of fans, revealing in the issue that you’re set to launch a new mobile game app, one that is similar to Kim’s, “but for a younger generation.”
The Kim Kardashian video game, of course, to gross an INSANE amount of money.
We’re frightened to imagine how much people will pay for Kylie’s version, considering they are paying for her lip kit, for some very odd, scary reason.

Kim & Kanye: Fighting Over Saint West"s Photo Debut!!!
For money? For art?
How will this blessed child be introduced to the world?!?!?!
Saint West, he who was born on December 5th, is fast asleep while his parents concern themselves on how to present their son.
Kim Kardashian, who is reportedly still peeved that she debuted North West’s photo on her mom’s now-defunct talk show, has a paycheck in mind the second time around.
“Kim felt a ton of money was left on the table, and doesn’t want to do something like that again,” a source told Radar Online.
Instead, she “wants to do something in an entertainment magazine with a huge paycheck attached to it.”
More trips to Paris! More beignets!
Hold up, says Kanye West.
“The introduction of his son to the world is a very big deal,” the source explained. “He wants it to be over the top and unusual,” as well as “unique and artistic.”
The couple is reportedly so image-conscious that they’re fighting over the hows and whys of a presentation.
“Every decision is made after thoughtful planning,” the source added.. “Their entire lives are choreographed down to the minute, and now this baby boy will be sucked into that world.”
$ 4.50 says People and HELLO! will get the photos.

Blue Ivy Carter to Make Musical Debut on Upcoming Coldplay Album!
Blue Ivy Carter may not be able to tie her own shoes, but she already leads one of the most baller existences on the planet.
Blue Ivy’s vacation photos could make Anthony Bourdain weep.
The girl gets custom-made clothes from the world’s biggest designers, then probably passes them on to her entourage when she outgrows them in a week.
She’s even got her first rap feud under her belt, thanks to Chris Brown’s claim that Royalty is the cutest of all the hip hop babies.
Obviously talent is no longer a requirement for being a celebrity (We’re looking at you, Kylie Jenner!), but Blue is making sure that she secures her spot as a future A-lister by becoming a more in-demand guest vocalist for top-selling artists than Nate Dogg was in his prime.
Okay, she’s hasn’t come that far quite yet, but Blue will be making her singing debut on Coldplay’s seventh studio album, due out next month.
Lead singer Chris Martin says it all started when the band brought in Beyonce for some cameo vocals on a track called “Hymn for the Weekend.”
Blue accompanied Bey in the studio, and naturally, the band couldn’t resist having her coo a few bars.
The album also features guest performances from Martin’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as his current girlfriend Annabelle Wallis, because apparently, this record is some sort of social experiment in which Chris Martin attempts to find out how awkward he can make his life.
Hey, it might’ve been weird to make, but we’re sure it’ll go multi-platinum.

Green Day Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong"s 16-Year-Old Son Makes His Rockstar Debut! Get Your First Listen To Jakob Danger HERE!
Like father, like son!
Billie Joe Armstrong can seriously shred on the guitar — and it looks like the apple doesn’t rock far from the tree!
Last week, the Green Day frontman’s son Jakob Armstrong proved that he has his father’s genes by signing with garage-rock label Burger Records!
Related: Green Day Joining The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Next Year!
And the 16-year-old, who goes by Jakob Danger, already released a mixtape to show his shredding skills!
The track definitely has a pop-punk feel reminiscent to his poppa’s band — with a bit of an old school Ramones vibe as well — so punk rock! Take a listen (below)!
