 Stephen Baldwin claims he was fired from rom-com for being 'funnier' than Jennifer Aniston Stephen Baldwin recently revealed that he was originally cast in the 1998 romantic comedy The Object of My Affection but was dismissed early in production. On his podcast One Bad Movie, Baldwin explained he had been chosen to play Vince McBride, the boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston’s character Nina Borowski.  However, after just two days on set, a producer told him there was a “problem”  specifically, that he was “funnier than Jennifer,” which they felt undermined the film’s dynamic. Baldwin described the criticism as both shocking and humiliating, likening it to being “mauled in the face by a wolverine.” He said he tried to tone down his comedic delivery but was ultimately cut from the project and told to go home.  The role eventually went to actor John Pankow, while Aniston starred opposite Paul Rudd, who played her gay roommate George.

 I have made arrangements for my death – Wole Soyinka


Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has revealed that he has made arrangements for his transition from life.

Soyinka, who turned 90 on 13 July, 2024, a milestone celebrated globally, made this statement in an exclusive interview with Larry Madowo, host of CNN’s African Voices Changemakers and Playmakers series.


The interview, first aired on CNN on Saturday, 21 September 2024, covered a range of topics, including Soyinka’s writing, activism, life in prison, and the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he won in 1986.

Towards the end of the interview, Madowo asked the literary icon, “Now that you have your own legal piece of earth here, what is your new future?”

In response, Soyinka, while hinting at his future, remarked that he had made arrangements for his transition. “I don’t want to be morbid, but my transition is my future. I’ve made arrangements for that within the estate.”


Taken aback by the reply, Madowo laughed and responded, “That is the most morbid answer anybody has ever given me. ‘I have made arrangements for my death?’”


Soyinka replied, “Many people don’t like to hear it. As I say all the time, and I won’t go into detail here, in fact, CNN, everybody knows what we’re talking about. It’s where we are all headed. It’s a future for everybody.”

Madowo, still surprised, interjected, “But before you die…”

Later, Soyinka tempered his remarks, offering a more grounded response about his immediate plans.


“In terms of productivity, the immediate thing is to go on a vacation. Take a resolution — which will be attested judicially — not to grant any more interviews, certainly not writing, but to resume activities that gave me pleasure and that I consciously cut off to pursue my vocation. I’m not going to sit idle.”

He added, “I would also like to get into a vehicle, somewhere in the world, and sit for a week or two as a tourist. I’m looking forward to that.”
