Spider-Man musical faces safety inspection
The upcoming Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical has at least one more hurdle to clear before heading into previews November 14: a New York State Department of Labor safety inspection. According to the New York Times, “Under state law, shows like Spider-Man are not legally allowed to hold public performances until state inspectors review and approve special effects such as flying.” The $60 million production is under an additional investigation after one of its actors broke both his wrists after a slingshot-like stunt went awry during rehearsals.

Randy, Evi Quaid skip court hearing
The Associated Press reports Randy and Evi Quaid missed a mandatory arraignment in California Tuesday. The pair, who seeking asylum in Canada — where they were arrested for squatting in one of their former properties — skipped the court date, because the actor was required to stay in the country until a Nov. 8 immigration hearing, according to the Quaids’ lawyer. The Superior Court judge assigned to the hearing did not issue a bench warrant for the actor, but issued one for Evi, who might face extradition.

Political ad features fake Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman’s iconic narration, usually employed for the good of mankind, has recently been misused for political purposes, according to CNN. A voice similar to Freeman’s was featured in an television commercial in support of B.J. Lawson, a Republican candidate in a North Carolina congressional race. When asked, Lawson confirmed via Facebook that the voice belonged to the actor. Freeman, however, quickly issued a statement denying any participation, saying, “These people are lying. I have never recorded any campaign ads for B.J. Lawson, and I do not support his candidacy.” Lawson has since apologized to Freeman and his opponent, claiming that he was duped by MEI Political, the production company responsible for 30-second spot. MEI denies Lawson’s accusation.
