Safaree Samuels Offered Porn Roles, Marriage Proposals After Nudes Leak

Safaree Samuels has a career, to be sure. But his most talked about accomplishments have been dating Nicki Minaj and getting a beatdown from Meek Mills. Until now, that is.


On February 25th, Safaree Samuels’ nudes leaked and the internet lost its mind. People were impressed, to say the least.


In fact, people were so impressed that he’s reportedly been offered a porn role. Will he accept?



HollywoodLife reports that their source describes Safaree’s reaction to his leaked nudes and the response that they’ve garnered.


Their source says:


“Safaree is shocked that his phone has been blowing up since the penis pics leaked.”


We imagine that the leaks themselves came as a shock.


The fact that they got attention … should not.


“He has been getting marriage proposals, job offers, and he even has a ton of new online haters and trolls trying to diss him since the pics leaked.”


That last part is hilarious, and should serve as a reminder that everyone gets hate online.


The job offer bit is funny, as seeing somebody’s nudes should really only make you want to hire them for certain, very specific things. (We’ll get to that in a moment)


The marriage proposals thing is the best part. Weird, to be sure, but funny.

(This photo is just one of many hilarious fan reactions to seeing Safaree Samuels in all his nude glory; you can see this and others below)


Safaree Samuels apparently doesn’t think that the fame will last.


“He thinks everyone will forget about the pics soon.”


Well, it’s true that stories come and go.


(He should really be working to capitalize on this while he has his chance — even if it’s just with music or some sort of social media endorsement deal)


“But if they open a few doors for him, then he is cool with that too.”


He’ll need to act quickly before those doors close.



As we mentioned, he’s gotten job offers.


Specifically, he’s reportedly been offered a role in pornography. Since, you know, he seems to be equipped for the job — and his celebrity status and viral nudes would be free publicity.


“He has never considered doing porn until now.”


That’s interesting — even if he hadn’t fantasized about it, we’re surprised that no one who has seen him naked has at least jokingly suggested it to him.


Most celebrities turn down porn offers — even most Z-list reality stars — but this report claims that Safaree might at least consider it.


“While his heart is in hip-hop, Safaree considers himself a businessman first and if the money is right, he is open to any opportunities that come his way.”



According to another of HollywoodLife‘s sources, Nicki Minaj reportedly wouldn’t be surprised if Safaree leaked the photos himself.


It’s true that the nudes seem to have given him a bit of a boost and perhaps even brought in some new fans.


Which is in a stark contrast to what happens to so many female celebrities when their nudes are leaked.


It’s never okay to leak a star’s nudes, obviously — or anyone else’s. It’s a horrible violation of them and often used as blackmail, revenge, or an intimidation tactic. Sometimes it’s even a hate crime.


Many women — stars as famous as Jennifer Lawrence — have had nudes leak. Tragically, the public response often takes the form of slut-shaming.


Some monsters have had the audacity to suggest that the fault is theirs for having taken the photos in the first place, rather than on the despicable cowards who hacked and distributed the images.


It’s nice to see that Safaree isn’t experiencing nearly so much of this, but sad that sexism still makes people malign women for daring to have a body.



But … will Safaree do porn?


Perhaps Safaree’s decision will come down to whether it will help or hurt his brand.


Few people become sex workers lightly. There’s nothing inherently wrong with sex work, whether one’s a stripper or starring in porn or engaged in prostitution. But there’s an unfair stigma attached to each.


Safaree might find that he’ll get backlash for engaging in porn and ruin his career.


On the other hand … he might just gain more fans than he’s ever had before.


Just look at how much Twitter loves him after seeing his nudes:

24 Actors Who Turned Down Iconic Roles


Can you imagine anyone other than Tom Hanks as Forest Gump? What about anyone besides Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller?


You won"t believe what actors actually turned town those roles. In fact, we"ve got a list of 24 actors who passed on iconic roles — sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. 


Check them out below!




1. Michelle Pfeiffer, Silence of the Lambs


Michelle pfeiffer picture

It’s true. Maybe you can’t imagine anyone other than Jodie Foster as Clarice in Silence of the Lambs, but Michelle Pfieffer was actually offered the role first. She turned it down because it was too violent.



2. Al Pacino, Star Wars


Julie and al pacino

Are you sitting down? Because it’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone other than Harrison Ford, but Al Pacino was actually offered the role of Han Solo on Star Wars.



3. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Clueless


Sarah michelle gellar smiling

That’s right. Sarah Michelle Gellar passed on the role of Cher in the movie Clueless, which eventually went to Alicia Silverstone. Gellar focused on slaying vampires instead.



4. Leonardo DiCaprio, Boogie Nights


Leonardo dicaprio at the oscars

Leonardo DiCaprio probably made the right choice with this one. He turned down the role of Dirk Diggler on Boogie Nights so he could instead star in a little film called TITANIC.



5. Johnny Depp, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Um, seriously? Try really hard to imagine Johnny Depp as Ferris Bueller, you guys. Doesn’t work, does it? It’s a good thing he turned down that role, because nobody other than Matthew Brokerick could be Ferris Bueller.



6. Lindsay Lohan, The Hangover

Who knows what might have happened if Lindsay Lohan hadn’t turned down the role of Jade on The Hangover? Instead, that part went to Heather Graham.

17 Actors Who Were Fired From Major Roles


Did you know Jean-Claude Van Damme was once fired from a major role?


And Megan Fox? You won"t believe why she was fired from a hit film.


These 17 famous actors were fired from major roles in either film or television. Find out who they are (and why they were fired) below!




1. Stana Katic, Castle


Stana katic

Before it was announced that Castle was canceled after Season 8, plans for a possible next season were going.forward without the show’s leading lady. ABC did not ask Stana Katic to return for a possible Season 9, apparently for monetary reasons. Fans were outraged, and the show was canceled after all.



2. Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men

Charlie Sheen was the star of the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men for several years before going off the deep end. Following bad behavior and derogatory remarks about the show’s creator, he was replaced with Ashton Kutcher for the final seasons of the show.



3. Christian Bale, American Psycho


Christian bale at dark knight rises premiere

Christian Bale was originally cast in the leading role for American Psycho, but the studio decided they wanted to go a different direction and tried to make a deal with Leonard DiCaprio instead. The role was then offerend to Ewan McGregor, who turned it down, opening the door for Bale to return to the role.



4. Sylvester Stallone, Beverly Hills Cop

Sylvester was the second actor set to play Axel Foley on Beverly Hills Cop, but he had very different ideas of what the film should be like, and was replaced two-weeks prior to filming by Eddie Murphy.



5. Anne Hathaway, Knocked Up

Before Katherine Heigl was cast in the role, Anne Hathaway was actually all set to play Alison on the film Knocked Up. However, she and producer Judd Apatow had a disagreement about the birthing scene, and Hathaway was replaced.



6. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Predator

Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally supposed to play the monster on in the 1987 film Predator, but he was let go after complaining about the costume.

Sarah Michelle Gellar: Her Best Roles... RANKED!


She"s been a vampire slayer, an evil twin and an advertising executive.


Throughout a career that began when she was only 16, Sarah Michelle Gellar has portrayed a variety of characters on television and on the big screen.


Which Sarah Michelle Gellar role has been our favorite? Prepare to disagree strongly, but we"re counting them down below…




9. Kendall Hart, All My Children

Sarah Michelle Gellar got her big break as a teenager on this beloved soap opera. She debuted in 1993.



8. Cici, Scream 2


Cici scream 2

Run, Sarah! RUN! We would have ranked this role higher if she had been in the original Scream instead.



7. Karen, The Grudge


Karen the grudge

Gellar just isn’t right for a horror movie. She’s too cute and too bubbly, too pretty and just too… normal. We hope she doesn’t hold a grudge (sorry) against us for saying that.



6. Daphne, Scooby-Doo


Daphne scooby doo

It’s hard to know how to judge this movie, considering it was meant to be a farce. Gellar wasn’t exactly aiming for an Oscar. If you bought a ticket for Scooby-Doo, her portrayal of Daphne is all you could have asked for.



5. Bridget and Siobhan Kelley, Ringer

We’re still not sure how this show didn’t work. It seemed perfect for The CW, but it may have been too convoluted in the end.



4. Sydney Roberts, The Crazy Ones


Sydney roberts the crazy ones

Another show that should have worked. How did a sitcom with Robin Williams and Gellar go wrong? Was it too broad? Did it not have enough time to find an audience?

Ashley Benson: I"ve Been "Too Fat" for Roles!

Ashley Benson is not one to shy away from controversy.


And we’re not even talking about the time she dressed up as Cecil the Lion.



But Benson has been very outspoken when it comes to the pressure Hollywood puts on young actresses, once taking her own network to task for Photoshopping a poster of her and her Pretty Little Liars co-stars.


Benson is now covering the latest issue of Health Magazine and opening up about what it’s like to be a young actress.


“I get told all the time to lose weight,” she admits. “I got that a month ago. It’s just weird. With my stuff recently, it’s been, ‘You have to be skin and bones or you’re not getting it."”


Those who watch Pretty Little Liars online, or those who have seen any Ashley Benson picture, likely have their jaws on the floor right about now.


People have told Ashley Benson that she’s too fat?!?


Yup. More than once, apparently.


“It’s come up a few times in the last few years, like, ‘You’re too fat for this.’ And I’m just sitting here like, ‘Wait, what? Do you want a skeleton?"” she says.


Fortunately, Benson isn’t about to give in to these sexist morons.


“I feel good,” she concludes. “I don’t want to lose 20 pounds, because I don’t need to…


“There was a point where it was getting to where a size 2 was great. I’m a size 2, but I think that a size 4 is healthy. I think that all of these sizes are healthy.”


AMEN, Ashley. AMEN.

Lindsay Lohan Gives Shoutout to Cocaine Kingpin Pablo Escobar, Begs For Roles on Instagram

It’s no secret that Lindsay Lohan loves cocaine.


The girl loves her booger sugar so much she’s endorsed Brazilian political candidates on the basis of their lax stances on transporting blow into the US.


If drugs weren’t involved, getting Lindsay Lohan to give a sh-t about politics would be like training your cat to fetch the paper and then read it to you.



Anyway, Linds once again expressed her fondness for yayo and the kingpins who sling it in a bizarre Instagram post paying tribute to notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar:



Lindsay posted a screen shot reading, “Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe.”


Fans of the Netflix series Narcos – which centers around the incredibly violent and lucrative exploits of Escobar and his Medellin Cartel –  will recognize it as the show’s epigram. 


In case her point was too subtle for you, Lindsay hashtagged the pic, “#SugarMan.”


It may seem strange for an actress with a well-documented cocaine problem to give a shout-out to the man who made his billions smuggling literal tons of the stuff into the US (taking just a few hundred lives in the process) but that’s Lindsay for ya.


The timing is more than a bit odd, as Lindsay is attempting to jumpstart her career at the moment, and reminding potential employers of her long criminal history is probably not the best method of weaseling her way back into their good graces.


Of course, it probably doesn’t matter, as her comeback seemed pretty lame and half-assed from the start, anyway.


In addition to her continued efforts to make a Mean Girls sequel happen, Lindsay has been jawing on social media about how totes awesome a Carmen San Diego movie would be.


Now, if only producers knew where to find a redheaded actress who could really inhabit the role of a sketchy criminal who travels to foreign lands to avoid prosecution.


Wait a minute…we’ve got it! Someone get Rachel McAdams on the phone!
