Dear Hollywood, It's time to wake up now. Get this! The only reason you exist is for my entertainment. Some of you are beautiful. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you are so convincing that you scare the crap out of me. And others are so funny you can make me laugh uncontrollably. But you all have one thing in common. You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain me. That's it. Nothing else! You make your living pretending to be someone else....

Meryl Streep has played many roles in her long career and holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations of any actor. Among her portrayals was British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. At the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, Streep behaved as if she actually had been elected to high office, entitling her to mount a high horse. In a six-minute, post-election diatribe, Streep slammed president-elect Donald Trump, urging journalists to hold him accountable. Given the media's poor job of holding the current president accountable, Streep's call to arms seems like an invitation to a one-way street. Accountability is one...

Be honest. You know the people in Hollywood are better than you are. I’d be willing to bet Leonardo DiCaprio has slept with way more Victoria’s Secret models than you have, and Natalie Portman has a much more impressive stock portfolio. You fly coach? Gross. You think George Clooney flies coach? Or even first class? Private, baby. And that makes actors better AND smarter than you are. That’s why people who hear the word “no” only when it’s in a script or their agent is yelling it at a studio head until they add another zero to your check are...

Barbra Streisand is standing with Meryl Streep, who used her acceptance speech at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards to criticize Donald Trump for lacking empathy and infamously mocking a disabled reporter in 2015. A day after Streep delivered her blistering rebuke of the president-elect, Streisand called in to Hardball With Chris Matthews and expressed her solidarity. I thought that [Streep] said what she said beautifully, Streisand remarked. Regarding Trump's ridiculing of journalist Serge F. Kovaleski 14 months ago, Streisand added, I completely agree with Meryl. It was a heartbreaking moment and so beneath the dignity of the presidency, let alone any...

Dana White says Meryl Streep is an "uppity 80-year-old lady" who was completely WRONG when she took a shot at MMA during the Golden Globes. We spoke with the UFC honcho about Meryl's comments Sunday night -- when she was ripping Donald Trump's immigration plans and said if we kick out foreigners, "you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts." White objects in a BIG WAY -- calling the dig at his sport "stupid" and "uneducated." We also asked if he thought Meryl targeted MMA because Dana gave a speech for Trump...

Just when I thought we’d exhausted the reservoir of Trump-hating luvvies, up pops the biggest star in Hollywood to join the bandwagon and stick one more stiletto-heeled boot into the President-elect ten days before his inauguration.

Dear Ms. Streep, Congratulations on your award last night. You’ve had a long and successful career. Bravo for you. I’m sorry to say, I personally don’t like your films or your acting, but I guess I’m just another deplorable who watches football and “mixed” martial arts when John Wayne movies aren’t on TV. In typical Hollywood tradition, you used your moment in the spotlight on stage to bash President-Elect Trump and soon to be President Trump. As Jackie Gleason said, “How sweet it is…” Your little tirade on stage consisted of a myriad of criticisms launched against Mr. Trump. In...

RUSH: Okay, let’s get to Meryl Streep. We’ve got some people on hold who want to weigh in on it as well. It’s a special kind of stupid, and these are people disconnected from reality, folks. This is the key. I think it will help everybody — there’s something fundamental you must understand about progressives. If you hope to understand them, and Meryl Streep illustrates it here. Last night in Beverly Hills at the Golden Globe awards she was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment, and like everybody else in entertainment,...

Rosie O’Donnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump. “No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!” reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Fascism.

With the New Year upon us — and a new President set to take office — it is time to acknowledge and reflect on the year’s most epic freakouts, tantrums and meltdowns from Hollywood’s best and brightest about Donald J. Trump. All of your favorites are here, as chronicled by Breitbart News over the past year; there’s Cher complaining about the divisiveness of the country while simultaneously calling Trump a “f*cking idiot;” Rosie O’Donnell unloading on the “orange motherf*cker” during the third presidential debate; Elizabeth Banks and Moby swearing like sailors in a last-ditch Funny or Die voter drive; Don Cheadle urging Trump to “die in...

Mourning in Hollywood was at its zenith, however, when it became clear on Election Day that Trump was poised to emerge as the unexpected victor. "Gonna cry my false eye lashes off tonight," pop singer and Clinton supporter Katy Perry wrote on Twitter the night of the election, as the results rolled in. "World will never be the same," singer Cher, who had campaigned for Hillary, also wrote on Twitter the night of the election. "I feel Sad for the young." She included images of a toilet and feces to represent Trump. . . . In October, before the election,...

Sunshine Sachs, which reps Natalie Portman and Leonardo DiCaprio, donates party budget to charities like ACLU and Human Rights Campaign Hollywood publicity firm Sunshine Sachs has canceled its annual, bicoastal holiday celebrations as a gesture of support for immigrants, women, LGBT people and the environment. The decision was a gesture to “defend the values we hold dear,” according to an email sent Tuesday.

The new original anti-business drama Incorporated premiered this week on the Syfy network. Produced by Hollywood lefties Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, it’s a liberal polemic preaching about the dangers of eeeeevil multinational corporations, capitalism, and global warming disguised as trendy, futuristic, post-apocalyptic entertainment. From the first seconds of the premiere, titled “Vertical Mobility,” the liberal agenda is made clear when these words appear on the screen, setting up the premise of the show: “The year is 2074. Climate change has ravaged the planet, causing widespread famine and bankrupting governments. In their place, multinational corporations have risen in power and...

“Captain America” actor Chris Evans isn’t cool with President-elect Donald Trump. The Sudbury-bred movie star has been tweeting his intense displeasure ever since The Donald was elected. Evans first expressed outrage when Trump chose controversial Breitbart News executive Steve Bannon as his chief strategist, tweeting:

Character actor Michael Shannon recently did an interview with the website Metro News about his new film that's coming out soon, but the interview is getting attention for a different reason. Shannon apparently thinks all Trump supporters should die -- especially the old ones. During the interview, the focus turned to the recent presidential election in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. Shannon could not believe the outcome of the election and told Prigge that he “could use some vengeance right now.” But then, the interview turned into a mutual Trump-bashing party, during which Prigge asked Shannon, “How...

As for many of you, last Tuesday was a very bad day for me.... Is our next president a demagogue or democrat? ...I have been involved in politics for more than 50 years, and this is certainly not the first time I've been on the losing end. It always hurts. And this one maybe hurts more than the rest — partly because we didn't really lose. Our side got more popular votes, while Trump received fewer votes than Mitt Romney or John McCain. ...The Founding Fathers provided tools to combat the demagogues they knew might come along. We merely need...

Monday night in Austin, TX, at the screening for his film “LBJ” in an interview with FOX 7 Austin, liberal actor and director Rob Reiner said the victory of President-elect Donald Trump represents the final fight of the “Civil War.” Reiner said, “Trump is hanging on to the what I’ve said is it’s the last fight of the Civil War. It’s the last gasp and the last throws of people who are just desperately hanging on to this kind of white nationalism that existed prior to LBJ passing the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and all of...

She has been a vocal supporter of the Democratic candidate and even campaigned in person, so this singer has been left devastated in the wake of the American Election. Miley Cyrus posted a video message to express her feelings that Donald Trump rather than Hillary Clinton is the nation's new President. A distraught Miley struggled to keep her composure in a Facebook video recorded in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

THE moment in “Sudden Impact” has become legendary. Inspector “Dirty Harry” Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is witness to a robbery and calmly tells the crooks that “we’re not just gonna let you walk out of here.” With a bemused expression, the would-be thief asks, “who’s we sucka?” “Smith and Wesson…and me.” And with that, Mr Eastwood saves the day with his beloved handgun. It is a fitting scene for such an indefatigable supporter of the Second Amendment as Mr Eastwood (he has previously joked that he has “a very strict gun control policy. If there is a gun around, I want...
