Writer and Comedian Michael Loftus mocks actress Zendaya for an outfit she wore to the Paris premiere of ‘The Odyssey’. “What in the Indonesian upside-down ice cream cone are we looking at? Is she on a tight schedule? She’s got the premiere of her movie at eight, and then she’s got a Jai-Alai match at 8:30,” Mr Loftus told Sky News host James Morrow. “Maybe she’s wearing a traffic cone on her head because she saw those Scottish people … putting the traffic cones on the statues in America for the World Cup. “It’s trash day tomorrow; put your Zendaya out.”
