Santa Monica Studio Pleads for Minimal God of War Ragnarok Spoilers As Game Leaks

Update: Santa Monica Studio has shown as little of God of War Ragnarok as possible prior to release, so it’s a shame to see the game break street date and begin to leak. Subsequently, the developer has released a statement, pleading with fans to keep story information to themselves. It adds that it’s doing its best to “limit the exposure of unsanctioned footage” but admits it “cannot catch everything”.

The studio then goes on to suggest that players mute specific keywords or hashtags associated with the game until launch day. Obviously, it’s gutting that it’s come to this, but that’s just the way of the world we suppose.


Original Story: An idiotic reviewer had already spoiled some sections of God of War Ragnarok earlier in the month, but now things are about to get really wild, as retailers begin to break street date. Santa Monica Studio has been keeping its hotly anticipated sequel under wraps, and still very little is known about the title – even two weeks prior to its release.

However, with the game now in consumers’ hands, it’s going to be difficult to sidestep some of the spoilers that will inevitably come out. Cory Barlog, the director of the previous God of War, took to Twitter to express his displeasure, referencing the recent situation with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which only has 70MB of data on its Blu-ray:

Barlog continued: “Sorry to everyone that you have to dodge the spoilers if you want to play the game fresh. Completely f**king stupid you have to do this. This is not at all how any of us at Santa Monica Studio wanted things to go.”

Santa Monica Restaurateur To The Stars Was 106 – Deadline

Madame Sylvia Wu, whose Santa Monica Chinese restaurant served generations of Southern Californians and many celebrities, died on Sept. 29 at 106, her family confirmed.

In her later years, Wu stayed in the West side’s mind with cookbooks, television shows, and charity work, particularly at the City of Hope cancer center.

Her restaurant was one of the first in Southern California to offer a stylized cuisine beyond Chop Suey (although she did cater to conventional tastes as well). She was a fixture at her business, even taking telephone orders for take-out while working the room.

Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, Mae West, Paul Newman, Princess Grace and many more dined at Madame Wu’s over the years. She closed the original Wilshire Boulevard restaurant in 1998, but then opened Madame Wu’s Asian Bistro & Sushi in newly opened Grove. That venture was not as successful, but Madame Wu remained dear to her longtime customers.

Survivors include sons George and Patrick and numerous grandchildren. Her husband died in 2011. The two had been married 67 years.

The actress is understood to be at Los Angeles County Superior Court, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Her cousin Merrie McCulloch told DailyMail.com: ‘Yes, I can confirm she’s in safe hands and have also been asked to please help update media with the information that she’s been located, and thank you for your support.

‘It’s all very slim details at the moment but until we ascertain Laura’s current state and what her wishes are going forward in terms of media coverage we are just scaling back for now and focusing on her well-being.’

Her sister Clare posted on Instagram saying: ‘She has been found safe and well. 

‘The family want to thank everyone for your help and support in what has been a traumatic time.’ 

Her friends and family started their own missing person search, claiming that the LAPD did not yet consider her a missing person case.

The family has also claimed that the Santa Monica restaurant – Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ – where she had arranged to meet her date, had refused to release any security footage without a police order.

A staff member at the restaurant claims that the incident took place outside of the property, and no one inside contacted the police.  

Frustrated at the lack of help from LA investigators the family has started a GoFundMe page to help pay for a private detective – which has currently raised $1,000 AUD.

The page updated those looking for the actress, saying she had been found, adding: ‘According to multiple sources in the US, Laura has been successfully located!

‘At this current stage we are unable to confirm what state she is in, and if any further financial support is needed, but I will do my best to provide an update as soon as it is available.

Kanye West keeps a low profile as he visits Malibu house with OnlyFans model Monica Corgan

Kanye West took an active role in the construction on his $57 million Malibu home when he visited the site on Friday.

The 45-year-old rapper had a special guest with him, the OnlyFans model Monica Corgan, who did her best to keep a low profile.

Kanye’s focus on his gutted home, which he purchased last year for a staggering $57.3 million, comes after he once again returned to Instagram, though this time without a post mocking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian or her now-ex Pete Davidson.

Checking in on the place: Kanye West, 45, tightened his hoodie to obscure his face as he visited his $57 million Malibu house with OnlyFans model Monica Corgan on Friday

Kanye was dressed casually in an all-black minimalist ensemble for the site visit.

He had on a black tank top hoodie with cut-off sleeves, which revealed a hint of his bare chest underneath. 

The Monster rapper had his hood pulled up, and he also had on a black baseball cap.

He looked comical as he pulled the drawstrings on his hoodie, scrunching it down so that there was only a tiny hole for his eyes to poke out of.

Hidden: The Monster rapper had his hood pulled up, and he also had on a black baseball cap. He looked comical as he pulled the drawstrings on his hoodie, scrunching it down so that there was only a tiny hole for his eyes to poke out of

On point: Kanye matched his hoodie with nondescript black shorts, and he stayed on theme with tall black socks and black-and-charcoal Yeezy shoes.

Walking by the producer’s side was Corgan, who sported dark hair tied back in a bun and a set of enormous bug-eyed black sunglasses that obscured her face.

She followed Kanye’s example and pulled up her hood to partly cover the bottom of her face.

Corgan, who previously was seen caching a screening of Top Gun: Maverick with West, showed off her trim, sporty figure later as the couple entered the house. She was spotted standing on a balcony and basking in the brilliant sun while wearing powder blue leggings that highlighted her toned legs and a matching tube top.

She contrasted the athleisure ensemble with a pair of pointy-toed black heels.

Striking: Corgan wore her hair tied back in a bun and also showed off a set of enormous bug-eyed black sunglasses that obscured her face

Monica removed her sunglasses as she and Kanye found a shady patch on another part of the balcony and chatted.

He seemed animated, and both could be seen smiling ear-to-ear at one point. The Flashing Lights rapper pulled out his phone at one point, and she leaned over to see his screen.

The house, which was originally put on the market for $75 million, was designed by the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Kanye has been fascinated by Ando’s work ever since observing some of his striking architecture during a visit to Japan’s ‘art island’ Naoshima, according to Dirt.

The Malibu home, which is one of Ando’s few structures in the US, has been completely gutted by Kanye, who is far from completing the renovations, TMZ reported last month.

Like new: The Malibu home, which is one of Ando’s few structures in the US, has been completely gutted by Kanye, who is far from completing the renovations, TMZ reported last month

So far, Kanye has revealed almost nothing about his connection to Corgan.

The two were first linked in June, around the time of his split from the model Chaney Jones.

West and Corgan were snapped while they caught a screening of Tom Cruise’s blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick.

The rapper returned to Instagram on Friday, just four days after he took a parting shot at Pete Davidson before once again wiping his account.

‘Look to the children. Look to the homeless. As the biggest inspiration for all design,’ read the simple text post that he shared.

It’s not clear if the current designs he is working on for his Malibu home relate to that philosophy, though he’s like to share more of his creative process down the line. 

Prior to that relatively innocuous post, Kanye brought what seemed to be a relatively peaceful phase of his divorce from Kim Kardashian to a screeching halt.

After news broke that she and his oft-mocked nemesis Pete Davidson had broken up, he posted a meme of a fake New York Times front page with a massive headline reading, ‘Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.’

He also included a jab at his former friend Kid Cudi in minuscule text at the bottom which referenced him ending his Rolling Loud set early after audience members threw bottles and other objects at him.

Following the post, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Kim found it ‘appalling.’

‘Kim won’t stand for this. She is demanding that Kanye take the post down, but he won’t,’ said a source close to the reality icon.

Although there was no indication that the formerly married couple might get back together, Kanye’s behavior toward her and Pete — and his final parting shot at the comedian — seems to have ended those prospects for good.

‘She has been vigorously defending Pete. She’ll never get back together with Kanye over the way he’s treated the people she loves and respects,’ the source continued.

Hours after he shared the post, it was taken down and his Instagram was again empty.

Beyoncé Officially Removes Kelis’ Sample Off Renaissance Album; Monica Lewinsky Calls for Similar Move in 2013 Song

Update as of 8/4/2022 at 10:30a.m.ET: Kelis has responded to the interpolation of her hit song “Milkshake” being taken off of Beyonce’s Renaissance album. Thanks to fans who began comment creeping on Instagram, Kelis is apparently very grateful for the removal but she’s not moved by it.

“You happy Beyonce took that sample off, cry baby?,” one Instagram user asked according to Hollywood Unlocked. Kelis responded: “Yes I am actually, lol nobody cried.”

When another user said: “TBH, I would have just been happy to be on the album,” Kelis wrote: “And that’s why you are you and thank God I am me lol.”

The original story follows below.

Last week, we told you about how “Bossy” singer Kelis called out Beyoncé and former music manager Pharrell Williams for interpolating her 2003 hit song “Milkshake” on Bey’s newly-released Renaissance album without her knowledge. Now, it appears all that hubbub was for nothing as Beyoncé has taken the usage of the song off the album in its entirety.

Per Billboard, the usage of the song appeared on the fifth song on the album, “Energy,” and has now been removed on both Tidal and Apple Music. Subsequently, the move was met with much fanfare online, with many applauding the “Black Parade” singer for removing it outright so as not to further feed into any drama.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Queen Bey has post-audited the album since its release last Friday. As previously reported by The Root, after receiving backlash for her song “Heated —which featured the word “spaz” and was quickly met with disdain from disability advocates who claimed the lyrics were “offensive and ableist,”—the multi-Grammy-winning artist later confirmed in a statement that it would be replaced.

And while those in the community raised a valid point, someone else decided to hop on the bandwagon in an attempt to get Bey to remove or change lyrics from a different song she put out nearly 10 years ago. As EW notes, on Tuesday, Monica Lewisnky (yes, that Monica Lewinksy) sent out a tweet that seemingly suggested that she wanted her name replaced in Beyonce’s 2013 hit song “Partition.”

The particular line in the song, Bey is referring to a man who “Monica Lewisnky’d all on my gown.” However, folks online were quick to call out her hypocrisy, noting that she has “rap song muse” in her Twitter bio while others cited a 2014 Vanity Fair article she wrote in which she thanked Beyoncé for including her on the song but quipped about how it was used incorrectly.

“Miley Cyrus references me in her twerking stage act, Eminem raps about me, and Beyoncé’s latest hit gives me a shout-out. Thanks, Beyoncé,” an excerpt from the article read. “But if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’”

She later clarified that in that moment, she was using humor to deal with “painful or humiliating things” as she often does, and that she had not “directly” reached out to Beyoncé’s camp to have the lyrics officially changed.

Monica aside though, if artists are going to start editing their albums due to some people’s disdain of them, whether warranted or not, they have to be very careful of the slippery slope they may end up embarking on if this becomes precedent. Any person, brand, or entity could then cause an uproar all in an attempt to get lyrics changed and I shouldn’t have to tell you how dangerously close that comes to censorship if that kind of thinking and action gets enacted by the wrong party.

What do you think? Should Beyoncé have removed Kelis’ sample? Should she change her 2013 lyrics and edit out Monica’s name? Let’s chat about it in the comments!
