Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, “Orange Is the New Black” producer Jenji Kohan revealed that she is working on a new film about Jesus Christ as a teenager. She also said that Netflix, which will show the film, has purchased “terrorism insurance” for fear that people may retaliate against the production. “We’re developing a teen Jesus project that got some people nervous,” Jenji told THR. “It’s like ‘The Wonder Years’ but with Jesus, and there are all sorts of things where we cross lines — and there are crazies out there.” “The Wonder Years” was an ABC television show that...

One reporter found herself on the news after a night out led to her assaulting multiple club employees and screaming obscenities and threats at the police. Multiple news outlets reported an incident between Colleen Campbell, a now former news reporter, and the police Tuesday after Campbell was escorted off a Philadelphia Helium Comedy Club for “loud whispering” during a show. After being escorted out of the club, she can be seen on a cell phone video berating police officers and using foul language. Wil Sylvince, a local comedian, took a nearly five-minute video of the incident starting when Campbell was...

Actress and comedian Amy Poehler mocked President Trump during her acceptance speech at Glamour UK’s Women of the Year Awards, saying she’s been “rage crying” and eating away her sorrows since his election win. “It does feel silly to accept this award this year, but in the U.S. this year is all about undeserved wins,” the former “Saturday Night Live” joked Tuesday at Berkeley Square Gardens in London, Newsbusters reported. Ms. Poehler, who supported Hillary Clinton’s failed Democratic presidential campaign, broke out her Trump impression to the crowd’s delight. “I’m the most glamorous, I’m the most beautiful. This win is...

Seasoned public relations people understand that the press conference is probably the worst setting for any loose-tongued client, especially one ready to pick a fight. Think Donald Trump on his worst day — which is pretty awful — Or Mel Gibson after his anti-Semitic tirade. Or Michael “Kramer” Richards after his racist meltdown. Exposing these ticking time bombs to nasty media questions in an uncontrolled environment is PR suicide. Indeed, no PR person worth his or her hourly rate would ever recommend a press conference when a more controllable sit-down interview would do. If you doubt that wisdom, consider America’s...

Okay, Megyn has the spotlight and people are listening. The initial reviews are mixed, depending on the reviewer's perspective. The portion of the panel discussion not aired by NBC shows national heads of state that weren't impressed by Kelly and an audience that regarded many of her questions and comments as failed punchlines.

Kathy Griffin is a great gal. Before you slam down whatever newspaper you are reading onto your table or desk (or punch the monitor of your computer if you’re reading this online), bear with me. It’s not exactly what you think. I still believe with every fiber of my being that Griffin is a vile slice of humanity, ugly in body and soul and bereft of the one thing she pretends to have in spades: humor. Her voice is grating. And her soul, what of it there might be in those murky inner depths, is bitter. And yet, Griffin has...

The best argument against climate change is: what else can explain the ever-growing number of absolute nut cases right here in the USA? Tiger Woods must be elated that the video of his sad and embarrassing stop by Florida law enforcement got tossed to the side quickly thanks to Kathy Griffin’s disgusting antics, Hillary Clinton’s ongoing and all-encompassing blame game, and people such as Whoopi Goldberg saying our country’s leadership is no different than the Taliban. For starters, Kathy Griffin looked pathetic and received little to no sympathy after her non-comedic effort of holding a beheaded doll of President Donald...

After comedian Kathy Griffin's attorney referenced bands like Municipal Waste and GWAR as other public figures who have created "disturbing imagery" involving President Trump, both bands have come to Griffin's defense. Check out exactly what they said below! Comedian Kathy Griffin recently made headlines around the world after the comedian posted a picture of herself holding a bloodied decapited Donald Trump head. Since then, she's been fired from her position as co-host of CNN's annual New Year's Eve program along with being slammed from the Trump family. Griffin was also slammed by her former co-host of CNN's New Year's Eve...

Comedian Kathy Griffin has claimed Donald Trump is using the furore around a photo in which she appeared with a likeness of his severed head to divert attention from the FBI investigation into Russian meddling in the US election. At a news conference on Friday, Griffin tearfully predicted her career was over and revealed she was the subject of a Secret Service investigation and fears being arrested after the release of the photo. The image is posted at the end of this article to avoid offending those who may find it too gory. But the 56-year-old comedian insisted she will...

Yesterday, Sen. Al Franken said he would go forward with a planned event with Kathy Griffin in July. But a day can make a lot of difference, because Franken’s reportedly changed his mind:At a press conference earlier with her lawyer, Griffin accused President Trump and his family of trying to destroy her career and bullying her after her mock beheading stunt. Will Franken be next now that he’s reportedly changed his mind about appearing with Griffin this summer?Stay tuned.

Not many have rushed to Kathy Griffin's defense after a picture depicting her holding President Donald Trump's severed head went viral, but fellow comedy star Jim Carrey says that her job as a comedian is to push the boundaries. "I think it is the job of a comedian to cross the line at all times because that line is not real," Carry told Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his new Showtime drama, "I'm Dying Up Here," which is all about comedians. "If you step out into that spotlight and you're doing the crazy things that [Trump'] doing, we're the...

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- One business is bringing 100 new jobs to Zanesville. Cable company Charter Communications announced that they will be hiring 100 new employees at their Spectrum call center on Northpointe Drive, formerly known as Time Warner Cable. “When you hear of a call center you usually hear of a big city,” said Mike Hogan, Charter Communications spokesman. “I think it’s great for Zanesville because we are committed to bringing jobs to a smaller community. We have a great facility here, a great work force and I think it’s our commitment to this area.” The call center currently has 430...

Squatty Potty is putting their feet down when it comes to Kathy Griffin. CEO Bobby Edwards issued a statement announcing Squatty Potty has suspended an ad campaign featuring Griffin following the backlash towards the comedian for a photo of her holding up a bloody mask that represented Donald Trump. “We were shocked and disappointed to learn about the image Ms. Griffin shared today, it was deeply inappropriate and runs contrary to the core values our company stands for. In response, Squatty Potty has suspended its ad campaign featuring Ms. Griffin,” Edwards said. “We have acted swiftly and decisively to demonstrate...

To say Isaac Lidsky has an impressive resume would be a massive understatement. A child actor from Saved by the Bell: The New Class, Lidsky graduated Harvard at 19 and then clerked for Sandra Day O’Conner and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He then started his own tech company which sold for $230 million. By any measure, his accomplishments have been remarkable — even without the knowledge that he’s blind. Lidsky’s lost his sight as a teenager — a curse that ultimately transformed his view on life. “Sight is this masterful illusion,” Lidsky said. “And as that illusion sort of shattered for...

Of course he is... I longer Scarborough can keep up the I’m-a-Republican-but-this-all-troubles-me-so-much schtick. Scarborough is first and foremost a creature of the Beltway culture. His party affiliation is hardly worth a footnote given that his job is to cater to mindset of the political class. Now, normal people (present company included) will offer no excuses for Greg Gianforte’s assault of a journalist, regardless of how obnoxious the guy’s behavior may have been, or how much we may think the journalism profession in general deserves one big body slam. There’s no excuse for it. No one will make any.

Trump hatred drives ratings. But journalists, having stooped so low as to be indistinguishable from third-rate, hostile, buffoonish comedians like Maher and Colbert The anti-Trump venom from the mainstream media has become so virulent that broadcasters and reporters alike risk becoming little more than extensions of the late-night “comedic” lineup, bashing the President without regard for truth or factual accuracy. And above all, most of these journalists realize, and sometimes admit, that they want to help the Democrats win the next election. The comparison between late night show hosts and the news media becomes stark when one compares Joy Reid’s...

Conservatives have split into two factions: Never-Trumpers and Always-Trumpers. Never-Trumpers detest President Donald Trump, and Always-Trumpers think he walks on water. According to Allie Stuckey in this “Millennial Moment,” both extremes are exhibiting irrationality when it comes to the president. Some Never-Trumpers, she asserted, are worse than liberals with their sensationalized criticism of the president. She asked why they can’t give him any credit for the good things he’s doing. “You’ve just decided that you hate him so everything he does is automatically wrong,” she said to Never-Trumpers. Always-Trumpers defend Trump even when he’s wrong. Allie wondered how they can...
