Home Alone 2 is a popular family-friendly holiday movie. In the sequel to the original Home Alone, Donald Trump made a cameo appearance. The movie was released in 1992. In one scene, the main character, a boy named Kevin, finds himself wandering around the lobby of the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Trump is walking by and Kevin stops him to ask for directions. Trump answers and Trump continues walking. That’s the scene. It’s just a cameo. This is 2023 and nothing is normal. So, of course, there is a controversy over Trump’s cameo appearance. Trump owned the Plaza Hotel back...

Former President Donald Trump criticized the director of the 1992 Christmas movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York for claiming that Trump bullied his way onto the set. Before Trump was president, he was a well-known New York City real estate power player who made special appearances in iconic '90s TV shows and movies set in the Big Apple, from a cameo with Samantha Jones in Season 2 of Sex and the City to a run-in with Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2. Chris Columbus, the movie's director, said that Trump's cameo in the movie was not initially the...

We drove past Cameo so many times when I was growing up on our way to and from Grand Junction. Kind of sad to see it come down. I understand there is a proposal to turn the property into a rifle/pistol range of some sort.Check out the mid-April snow!

**SNIP** To set this up, an executive of the fictitious Kabletown company entered CEO Jack Donaghy’s (Alec Baldwin) office saying, “Jack, you are gonna love this you magnificent bastard. Someone leaked your new salary. Occupy Wall Street is having a conniption.” “Really?” Baldwin asked. “They burned you in effigy!” the exec replied. “The hair went up like a roman candle. And the Democrats, they don't even know what to do with themselves. Just look at this jackass.” The exec then turned on the TV set in the office where Pelosi was on – what a surprise! – MSNBC...

New York - The birthday boy was turning 6, and my own young son and I arrived at the celebration in our somewhat loose definition of party clothes: Timothy in his best bluejeans and a tiny button-down shirt with stripes the colors of popsicles. The party room was filled with balloons; parents drinking coffee; a stray baby sister or two; and a dozen little boys, more than half of whom were dressed in various pieces of camouflage sportswear. Together, they suggested a small army squad. For a moment, I thought I must have missed something in the invitation – that...

LOS ANGELES -- Most Golden State drivers go out of their way to avoid the California Highway Patrol, but Erik Estrada can't seem to stay away. Estrada, who experiences the reality of law enforcement in his new unscripted CBS series "Armed & Famous," told reporters on Thursday that he's looking forward to the upcoming feature film version of his seminal series "CHiPs." "I tell you what -- I think that Wilmer Valderrama's gonna do a fine job," Estrada says. "I think he'll do a fine job as Ponch. And the script, I've read the script and I'm not in the...

It's the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. We've had our silliness thread to start things off now, how about this:Who do you think had the best cameo performance in any movie or TV show? You know, someone who had a bit part but stole the show for you.

He's a movie star now. Yes, Arizona senator and aspiring presidential candidate John McCain recently made his cinematic debut in this summer's bawdy romantic comedy "Wedding Crashers." The cameo appearance may create a big-screen problem for McCain, though, and it doesn't have anything to do with his Clinton-defending cameo co-star James Carville. It has to do with the flick's thoroughly warranted R rating. In the movie, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn portray divorce mediators who crash weddings and seduce bridal attendants. There's a fast-moving montage in the film, done in the style of a music video, where Vaughn and Wilson's...

Ultimately, it came down to not being partisan.Flying in the face of the liberal bent that the public expects from Hollywopod movies, Reese Witherspoon nixed an appearance by New York Senator Hillary Clinton for the film 'Legally Blonde 2; because it would seem too partisan.Screenwriter Kate Kondell says a cameo for the former first lady was written into the script where Witherspoon's Elle Woods character would look up to Delta Nu Sorority Sister Clinton. We had the cameo planned, but it didn't happen, it wasn't shot,' Kondell says.'It was a big concern for us that we didnt want the movie...
