The 48th Daytime Emmy Awards experienced a major embarrassment Friday when the broadcast confused two black actresses during the In Memoriam tribute, prompting a public apology from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Friday’s awards telecast misidentified the late The Young and the Restless star Marguerite Ray, who died last year at 89, during the segment that pays tribute to prominent industry personalities who passed away in 2020. Instead of using Ray’s photograph, the broadcast displayed a photo of another Young and the Restless actress — Veronica Redd, who is still alive. “We deeply regret this error and...

Comedian Dave Chappelle addressed the police involved death of George Floyd in an emotional, near-30 minute Netflix special titled 8:46, ripping conservative commentator Candace Owens, Fox News host Laura Ingraham, and declaring, ironically, that America doesn’t need to hear celebrities speak out right now.

Celebrities thinking they were doing the world a service by singing John Lennon’s utopian “Imagine” are being ravaged on social media for the video they produced. Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell and other liberal entertainers appeared in a 2-minute video posted on Instagram by actress Gal Gadot on Wednesday. Gadot said she’s been feeling “a bit philosophical” lately due to the self-quarantining she’s had to endure.

It doesn’t get more hypocritical than A-listers jetting in on private planes to bemoan climate change at Google’s private party in Sicily this week. The Gulfstreams, mega-yachts and gas-guzzling Maserati SUVs used to ferry the wokerati around the seaside Google Camp have been spewing out greenhouse gases at the rate of small nations. Former President Barack Obama, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, singer Katy Perry and Prince Harry are said to be among 300 guests invited by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to their luxurious annual shindig which has been dubbed “Davos by the Sea.”

National reactions to Alabama’s abortion law – a measure that essentially bars the practice in the state- continue. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the measure Wednesday, a day after it was approved by the Legislature. The law would make it a felony for a physician to perform, or attempt to perform, an abortion, with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest. The law prompted calls for travel boycotts and concerns from business leaders that the controversy could put a halt to economic development efforts in the state. National reactions continue

When Democrats lost to a non-politician in 2016, they could not swallow the failure and began to degrade their opponent's victory (by manufacturing "Russia collusion"), insult people who voted for the winner (calling them racist), and assassinate the character of the winner (calling him a dictator). To make the case for the third act, they invented a story that Donald Trump likes dictators and wants to be one and will not leave office if not elected in 2020. But his actions show the opposite. Trump does not want to be a king or a dictator, while his predecessors behaved as...

[PHOTO] HI, KIDS. HERE’S A SAMPLING of today’s absurd headline “news,” outlining how “celebrities” are somehow smarter than you and get so-called, “news” coverage, where you don’t. They get to say whatever they want that’s Liberal, while you have to shut-up and hide your conservative self in the bathroom. You’re not allowed to speak, and can only THINK what you’d like to do about the Lost American Dream. Because you are restricted in what you are permitted to say. Nothing conservative or pro-America is allowed. Because a Liberal has no restrictions at all on what they spew, as long as...

Things got awkward fast after Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Univision anchor Jorge Ramos to state exactly how many caravan members HE planned to personally take in. Ramos, an outspoken immigration advocate, spoke with Carlson remotely on Tuesday from the caravan in southern Mexico. The Fox News host’s question came after the Univision host made several comments defending its members, including insisting unequivocally that none of them were from the Middle East. “How many of these migrants are you taking in personally into your home and are supporting once they get into the United States?” Carlson asked.

Shortened title. Full title: Argentine Sex Abuse Victim: Pope ‘Opens His Door’ to Celebs Like DiCaprio but Won’t Even Write Us a Note An Argentine woman who says she suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a cleric in the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires — where Pope Francis once served as the cardinal archbishop — said the pope ignored victims of sexual abuse while welcoming celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio with open arms. “He receives all the celebrities, like Leonardo DiCaprio, and opens his door to them. And for us, not even a quick letter to say he was sorry,” one...

A slew of Hollywood celebrities took to Twitter to criticize President Donald Trump after he ended the policy of separating illegal immigrant adults from minors apprehended at the southern border. “We’re going to have strong, very strong borders, but we’re going to keep the families together,” Trump said on signing the order. “I didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated.” However, many prominent celebrities campaigning for an end to the policy did not seem satisfied. Actor Tom Arnold said that despite the order, Trump and Sessions remain “lying white trash child abusing monsters.”

Hollywood liberal Bette Midler has said a lot of dumb things in the past. But her latest tweet may have taken the cake. Blaming the 1968 assassination of Bobby Kennedy on the lack of gun control. In honor of her most recent tweet, here some of her idiotic tweets throughout the years. Blaming the NRA for mass shootings. Saying the United States will go down the toilet because Republicans won the Senate.

The 2018 Billboard Music Awards hit a new low Sunday night in the coveted demographic of ages 18-49, dropping 10 percent from last year’s low in overnight numbers.

Lady Gaga is the latest celebrity weighing in on the aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre by blaming lawmakers (aka Republicans) for not passing more gun control. Yoo-hoo Lady G, no law would have prevented the slaughter because the alleged suspect passed all federal laws purchasing his legal guns. Here’s a tip which I give freely (as someone who loathes guns and is not a member of the NRA): if you hear anyone urging Congress to pass more gun controls immediately, consider that person mentally deficient. That advice will be coming from celebrities, the media and politicians who probably all...

At premieres, beach parties, wine-soaked dinners and business meetings, the topic du jour at this year’s Cannes Film Festival: Trump. Buyers and sellers, studios executives and stars confess they’re glued to their smartphones, waiting for email alerts and updates on the latest White House scandal. “I’m obsessed with it,” said Stuart Ford, CEO of sales and production company IM Global. “The first thing I do in the morning is check the news. The last thing I do at night is check the news.” Some of the films searching for distribution along the Croisette grapple directly or indirectly with Trump and...

During the election, many celebrities threatened to leave the country if Donald Trump won against Hillary Clinton. Some even claimed to already have a ticket, but, of course, when Donald Trump won, not a single one of them moved away. This video plays an audio satire of what it would be like for a “Trump pilot” to ship all the celebrities who threatened to move to Canada—not to land and let them exit but let them jump out by parachute.

Election day in the U.S. is coming soon, with the nation set to hit the polls on November 8th. Here’s a rundown of who some notable celebs plan on casting their vote for when the big day comes.

A new teaser video released this afternoon shows a slew of celebrities and activists rallying in support of military whistleblower Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, whose trial for leaking 700,000 secret documents to WikiLeaks began today. “I am Bradley Manning” is the tagline of the PSA created by the eponymous group and featuring supportive celebrities like filmmaker Oliver Stone; actors Russell Brand, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Wallace Shawn; musicians Tom Morello and Moby; and journalists Phil Donahue, Matt Taibbi, and Chris Hedges. Each speaker takes their turn declaring that they or we “are all Bradley Manning,” imploring viewers to put...

Actress Ashley Judd and Indy Car driver Dario Franchitti are ending their marriage after 11 years, and, yes, the news impacts Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Judd is weighing whether to jump into politics and challenge McConnell in Kentucky in 2014. She was in Washington for the inauguration and attended an event at EMILY's List, the group that backs pro-choice Democratic women running for governor or Congress. Judd even carpooled with Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, who demonstrated she knows how to win in a red state after defeating the self-injurious Todd Akin.

Hypocrite celebrities and their anti gun agenda.
