Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme

Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme. Any fans of the dynamic duo Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds know that the famous best buddies love jabbing one another in internet videos and have hosted a friendly “feud” over the years on social media.

It seems this time Hugh Jackman is taking the first jab after a Marvel fan named Sam enjoyed his 8th birthday themed around Deadpool and Wolverine, the characters portrayed by Jackman and Reynolds in the previously Fox owned Marvel titles.

Hugh Jackman shared the story of Sam in a recent tweet followed by the caption: “Sam celebrated his 8th birthday with dueling #Wolverine and #Deadpool cakes. I think it’s crystal clear won. Don’t you?”

From the photo, it appears Sam is ever so slightly a bigger fan of Wolverine, donning the iconic grimace and stance of Wolverine with claws drawn. Hence, the reason Jackman shared the photo. Currently, Ryan Reynolds has yet to comment on the tweet, but we all know a snarky comment or response can’t be far behind.

Regardless of what Ryan has to say, I’m sure Sam’s birthday was made by the acknowledgement from one of his favorite heroes and we hope he had fun celebrating his 8th birthday. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel!

Walt Disney Company issues a statement in a time of unrest in the US

Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company has just issued a statement in this time of unrest due to the killing of George Floyd.

Dear Fellow Employee,

The recent killing of George Floyd as well as other instances of lethal attacks and harassment of unarmed black citizens in our nation continue to drive outrage and calls for action by people of all cultural backgrounds, including many of our employees. Feelings of grief and anger cause us to confront the inscrutable idea that the lives of some are deemed less valuable – and less worthy of dignity, care and protection – than the lives of others.

While these devastating incidents are not new, there’s something unique about what’s happening in this moment. The pandemic coupled with these recent injustices have pushed the issues of racial disparity into the open.

We, too, are struggling to make sense of the recent tragedies that leave us feeling overcome with sorrow. While we don’t have all the answers, we resolve to use our compassion, our creative ideas and our collective sense of humanity to ensure we are fostering a culture that acknowledges our people’s feelings and their pain. We also realize that now more than ever is the time for us all to further strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion everywhere.

We intend to focus our efforts and resources to compassionately and constructively talk about these matters openly and honestly as we seek solutions. We intend to keep the conversation going, not just today, but for as long as it takes to bring about real change.

Bob Chapek, Bob Iger & Latondra Newton

Below is a link to a statement we sent to our fellow @Disney employees. It’s from Bob Chapek, our CEO, Latondra Newton, our Chief Diversity Officer, and me.
Thank you.https://t.co/R6ucJhv26p

Maleficent Cake Jar Recipe

Maleficent Cake Jar

“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday…she should enjoy cake!”

Even though Maleficent didn’t say the last part of this quote in her curse, we think she would be in better spirits if cake was offered at Princess Aurora’s birthday celebration. Today, we are showing you how to create this incredible dessert based on everyone’s favorite Disney villain!

Ingredients

1.) Cake

  • Vanilla Cake Mix
  • Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 eggs
  • Purple food coloring

2.) Icing

  • 1 pound unsalted butter
  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • Electric green food coloring

3.) Toppings

  • Black fondant
  • Purple sprinkles

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine vanilla cake mix, 1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 eggs into a large bowl. Add purple food coloring and stir until combined.
  3. Combine chocolate cake mix, 1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 eggs into a large bowl.
  4. Scoop 1/4 cup of purple cake batter into mason jar. Add 1/4 cup of chocolate cake batter. Continue to alternate layers of purple and chocolate cake batter until mason jar is half full.
  5. Fill a baking pan with a thin layer of water. Place cake jar on pan. Bake cake jar at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
  6. While cake jar is baking, roll fondant into 1″ balls. Shape into horns.
  7. To prepare mint icing, combine unsalted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract into a bowl. Add electric green food coloring.
  8. Once cake jars have cooled, pipe icing on top of the cake. Add purple sprinkles, and place two horns to finish the look.

The mason jar dessert tastes just as good as it looks! It’s a great dessert to bring to a Disney party.

Chris Evans Confirms He Will No Longer Play Captain America in the MCU

Chris Evans Confirms He Will No Longer Play Captain America in the MCU. Recently, Chris Evans appeared on The Graham Norton Show and shared his time as Steve Rogers/Captain America is at an end. His primary reason being he doesn’t want to sour Cap’s “Happily Ever After” ending unless the appearance would add to his story in a constructive way.

When specifically asked if Avengers: Endgame was truly the end Evans responded, “Yes, I think it is,” Evans said. “It was a great run and we went out on such a high note that it would be risky to revisit it in my opinion. It was such a good experience and I think it’s better left that way.”

“It’d be a shame to sour that,” he said in reference to how Steve’s story wrapped up in Endgame. “I’m very protective of it. It was such a precious time, and jumping onto the movie was a terrifying prospect to me. I said no a bunch of times, and there’s a million and one ways it could have gone wrong. It almost feels like maybe we should let this one sit.”

As much as we will miss seeing Captain America on the big screen we are glad to know the character means more than a cash grab to Chris Evans and great care was given to do the character justice in the MCU. Which Marvel Movie featuring Captain America is your favorite? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
