this is a vanity opinion piece...went to the movies today and had a realization when during the coming attractions when the theater distributor decided to put in the coming attractions a piece of political propaganda. the movie I was going to see was the book hennery. I never made it through the coming attractions of the movie because they had put a non movie ad about all gore and climate change and how trump is destroying the environment. I ended up yelling into the theater Go trump when they played an edited version of trump officially pulling out of the...

Using charm, humor and universal themes, a pair of Netflix shows and a big-screen rom-com are providing a timely corrective to Trump-era alarmism about Muslims. Amid the inflammatory rhetoric and bigotry of the Trump presidency, film and television seem to be entering a brash new era of social activism. The ban on travel to the U.S. from certain Muslim countries may be in effect, but several smarter-than-fear autobiographical comedies are shattering the kind of ugly stereotypes that, at least in part, have provided the rationale for such a ban: Kumail Nanjiani’s hilarious, emotionally warm rom-com The Big Sick, Aziz Ansari’s...

Lindsay Lohan wants to make America great again. The actress spent the 4th of July defending President Trump against ‘bullies’, asking followers on Twitter to support the ‘kind’ Trump family. Huh? Who knew that President Donald Trump‘s biggest supporter would be…Lindsay Lohan? Lindsay, 31, took some time out of her 4th of July holiday to respond to positive stories about the president on Twitter. It’s clear that Lindsay’s a major Trump supporter, and would like her followers to switch to Team #MAGA and jump on the “fake news” train, too. In the first tweet, she responded to an angry Trump...

Full Title.........................Trey Parker says South Park will ignore Trump because he just 'doesn't care' anymore - despite their 'crazy ratings'...................South Park star Trey Parker seems to be over creating jokes around the President of the United States, despite the 'crazy ratings'. Parker, who voices four of South Park's main characters, said he and longtime collaborator Matt Stone, are fed up with the Donald Trump jokes. 'We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like, "Dude, we're just becoming CNN now. We're becoming: Tune in to see what we're going to say about Trump,"'...

Emily Ratajkowski says her breasts are holding her back from getting acting jobs. The actress — who first broke onto the scene as one of the topless models in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video — says she thinks it’s a form of gender discrimination. “There’s this thing that happens to me: ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’ It’s like an anti-woman thing, that people don’t want to work with me because my boobs are too big,” Ratajkowski, 26, tells Harper’s Bazaar Australia for their August issue. “What’s wrong with boobs? They’re a beautiful feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who...

In the near decade since “The Hangover” earned over half a billion dollars worldwide, R-rated comedies have chased the sensation, but few have come close. This summer has been especially punishing for adult comedies. Most recently, “The House,” starring Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler as a couple that starts an underground casino to put their daughter through college, opened to only $9 million. Two weekends before, Scarlett Johansson’s “Rough Night” opened to $8 million domestic. Not even Dwayne Johnson’s constant Twitter chatter could save “Baywatch” from flopping over Memorial Day weekend, and a similar story applied a few weeks prior...

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reviews of “The Little Hours,” a movie he previously panned: •“Unrepentant sacrilegious slapstick” (The Verge) •“Juvenile and bawdy and stupid and crude” (Flavorwire) •“Awash in sacrilegious revelry. Rarely has devotion been this dirty” (Film Journal) •“Not nearly as funny, biting, or smart as the films it’s so clearly trying to emulate” (IGN) •“Generally, the humor lacks bite” (Reason) •“At times, the atmosphere is so clubby that the actors seem to be performing for one another” (New York Times) •“You spend roughly half of The Little Hours waiting for the film to get going...

Olivia de Havilland has a real-life feud brewing with FX and Ryan Murphy. “Gone With the Wind” actress de Havilland has filed a lawsuit against the cable outlet and “Feud” producer Ryan Murphy, alleging that her identity was used without her authorization in the FX miniseries, according to court papers obtained by TheWrap.

President Trump ignited a firestorm on Thursday morning when he tweeted a scathing attack on “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski — and it’s not going unnoticed by Hollywood. In a series of vicious tweets Thursday morning, Trump wrote, “I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!” For her part, Brzezinski did respond on Thursday morning… in her own...

Actor Jeff Bridges, renowned for his roles as a president in the film "The Contender" and as The Dude in "The Big Lebowski,” said he is "rooting" for President Trump as "a human being." “I’m rooting for him to do well by our country,” Bridges told the Associated Press in an interview published Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT “I’m rooting for him as a human being to do the cool thing," he added, after saying other people who were upset by the election results would be "blatantly out there talking about their disappointments and ridiculing the way President Trump is acting.” Bridges, who...

Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda released a politically-charged video this week for the song “Immigrants” from The Hamilton Mixtape, which is based on music from the popular Broadway show. The 6-minute dramatic visual opens with a group of immigrants listening to a radio report about the U.S. Congress’s legislative debate over border security and immigration reform. “It’s really astonishing that in a country founded by immigrants, ‘immigrant’ has somehow become a bad word,'” the reporter says. As each rapper recites their lyrics, scenes of refugees and immigrants doing various jobs are intermingled throughout. The video features contributions from Rogue...

Dear leftists in Hollywood intent on pushing incessant gayness, even when unnecessary and irrelevant, Today it seems Hollywood’s primary mission, especially television, is to shove gayness into wherever it may fit. It’s getting tired. Namely because it’s being pushed by a tiny minority of militant gay activists in the gay community. I want to make this crystal clear. I’m not suggesting ALL gays are pushing for all gay characters in all TV shows or movies. I contend like with most issues in our political climate, the “Gay Agenda” in TV is being shoved by a fraction of a percent of...

On Tuesday night, Seth Meyers sat down with The View host Joy Behar and while most of their interview was about President Trump, the conversation shifted a bit when discussing First Lady Melania Trump. The Late Night host asked Behar whether she has sympathy for Melania Trump or think we should judge her “like anybody with free will.” “I feel sorry for her,” Behar responded. “She had to sleep with him once. At least once, she did,” implying the only time was when their son Barron Trump was conceived. She continued on the subject of the President Trump and the...

“When’s the last time an actor assasinated a President?” What an Odd thing to say…. How would anyone’s mind function in such a way as to make those wild connections between self and murder in history—and then apparenty fantasize about it in front of millions? Something like that is just too Out-Of-The-Blue, unless…. Unless…Is Dep A Time Traveler? See Photos At End:

But legal documents filed in a US court allegedly show Mr Depp was "fully aware" he was breaking Australian laws. His former business managers, The Management Group (TMG), claimed the actor had "pressured one of his long-term employees to 'take the fall'," in papers obtained by People. 'It is called perjury' Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce subsequently hinted that the government may reinvestigate Depp. "If the allegation is correct, there's a word for that - it is called perjury," Mr Joyce told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Actors strike threatened: SAG-AFTRA outraged at studios failure for fair agreement The leadership of the SAG-AFTRA actors union reported Monday that negotiations with producers so far have yielded no agreement on a new three-year contract, and it said it was asking for a strike authorization vote to strengthen its hand. It said in a statement on the union’s website that it had been hard at work bargaining with the major studios and networks represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers about a new three-year contract covering motion pictures, television and new media. “We had hoped to be...

Olivia Wilde, Tom Sturridge and Reed Birney star in the bold staging of George Orwell’s dystopian novel. The play 1984 is not for the average theatergoer. Adapting George Orwell’s dystopian novel — set in a future when critical thought is suppressed by a totalitarian regime, ostensibly overseen by a party leader known as Big Brother — the new Broadway staging includes special effects like strobe lights and jackhammer sound effects, in addition to the plot’s extreme torture scenes. Throughout the London transfer’s previews, attendees have fainted, thrown up and screamed at the actors from their seats. After one performance, some...

Conservative activists led rallies in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, protesting the recent list of celebrities who have made violent jokes about President Trump, Reuters reported. According to the newswire, a pair of rallies took place. At one event, the protestors faced off with almost as many counter-protesters on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Richard Spencer, a self-described white nationalist and founder of the so-called "alt-right" movement, drew a larger crowd of about 100 supporters to the rally at the Lincoln Memorial, which memorializes a president who is associated with ending slavery in the country. Spencer reportedly told journalists before...

It is getting extremely difficult to keep track of the ever increasing number of fading Hollywood stars threatening to harm or kill President Donald Trump. The latest outrage occurred when overrated actor Johnny Depp joked about assassinating the President at a U.K. music festival. He asked the crowd “When was the last time an actor assassinated a President?” This was obviously a reference to actor John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. He dug an even deeper hole when he followed his question by making a thinly veiled threat on the President’s life. Amazingly, he told the crowd, “it’s...

Minority leader Nancy Pelosi thinks the Democratic Party is doing just fine despite her fellow Democrats thinking it's time for her to get the ax. The California Democrat told reporters at LOGO's Trailblazer award ceremony on Thursday night that she doesn't believe the party is in need of any radical change while half of the party remained angry and divided for throwing millions towards a Georgia House race that was met with a tragic loss. "We have the arena now, people are ready to listen and we'll have our message about the economy, but we will not walk away from...
