The Sidemen have secured the funding they need to continue their international expansion. The London-based septet has inked a deal with U.K. firm Viewture, which will provide upfront financing in exchange for future advertising rights on Sidemen videos.
The deal is described as a “multi-million-pound” agreement that will supply the Sidemen with the capital their busy slate requires. Ksi, Miniminter, Zerkaa, Tbjzl, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and Wroetoshaw have launched a fried chicken business, sponsored a local soccer club, and established a “ghost hotel,” all while maintaining their commitment to their fans. They continue to release a new YouTube video every Sunday for their 18.4 million subscribers.
Viewture, which has forged relationships with influencers over the past two years, funds creators through a forward-thinking model. Crudely put, its deals are similar to the catalog licensing pacts offered by companies like Spotter and Jellysmack. In addition to licensing old videos, the firm also...

The Food Network's Guy Fieiri has 'come out' with some pretty ignorant comments. A former producer from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives, David Page, ratted him out to Minneapolis' City Pages about his incredibly stupid remarks about gays. This is one of those instances when tattletaling is acceptable. Thank you Mr. Page.
Supposedly Fieiri walked out of a restaurant when he found out that it was run by two gay men who happened to be in a relationship. "You can't send me to talk to gay people without warning! Those people weird me out!" said Guy. From that moment on producers were required to figure the sexuality of the people coming on his show. Uh-oh! He might have to encounter homosexuals in his life. I hope he doesn't go to the theater, or watch a movie, or walk into a bar, or grocery shop, or walk down the street...because newsflash Guy: We're Everywhere!

The creator and former producer of Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, which stars Next Food Network Star winner Guy Fieri, says the star of his show is guilty of homophobic, sexist, and anti-Semitic behavior. Producer David Page, who created the show, sued the network for breach of contract earlier this year because he says the network tried to replace him and cancelled orders for two seasons of the show.

Not everything on the 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' set was happy and greasy. David Page, the ousted creator of the hit Food Network series, is speaking out and slamming host Guy Fieri's behavior.
In a new report, Page is claiming Fieri displayed some very bad behavior from sexism to homophobia. "Anytime any woman mentioned 'cream,' Guy went into a sexual riff," Page told City Pages. "When cutting the show, you had to tell the editors to watch Guy's eye line, because it's always on breasts."
It didn't stop there.
Fieri reportedly needed "advance warning" when working with homosexuals. Page said he once got a phone call from the host after he walked out of a restaurant.

Former Food Network producer David Page is suing the Food Network for breach of contract after they let him go from Guy Fieri's hit show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." The network filed a countersuit against Page, alleging he mistreated employees. What's the truth? Well, Minneapolis' City Pages wrote a lengthy piece examining the facts of the lawsuit and it portrays Fieiri as a control freak who took significant liberties on the set and acted racist, sexist and homophobic on occasion.
Among the most controversial quotes from the article:
"You have to protect Guy from all of his poop jokes," Page says. "Anytime any woman mentioned 'cream,' Guy went into a sexual riff. When cutting the show, you had to tell the editors to watch Guy's eye line, because it's always on breasts."
"Guy had decided that the two men running the restaurant were life partners," Page remembers. "He said,...
