    While conservative commentator Candace Owens may not be surprised by liberal backlash against her, she certainly doesn’t intend to remain silent when she is targeted. The Turning Point USA communications director unloaded Sunday on producers of the Ellen Show who had “stalked and insulted” her repeatedly. Owens blasted Ellen DeGeneres, the star and host of the show, for the hypocrisy as she is a “woman who regularly champions bullying as one of her biggest societal concerns.” Owens concluded with a final shot at “all @TheEllenShow producers,” who “lay claim to the moral high ground” while hurling attacks at those who...

    It’s been more than four years since Drew Barrymore gave birth to her youngest child, Frankie, but rude-AF body-shamers still think she looks pregnant. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 43-year-old actress recalled a recent interaction in which a woman came up to her and told her that she looks pregnant, despite Barrymore giving birth years ago. The “Santa Clarita Diet” star told the story in a roundtable with other comedy actresses, such as Allison Brie, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Debra Messing. When “Divorce” actress Molly Shannon recalled an audition in which someone asked if she had gained...

    Political talk show host Bill Maher has a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and the symptoms were on full display Friday night. The HBO show host said that he now wishes an economic recession in America in order to get rid of President Trump. I wish his statement was some kind of lame, offputting failed joke but Maher was perfectly serious. And, yes, fellow deranged audience members applauded him.During his Friday night show, Maher began his monologue by addressing the G7 Summit in Quebec this weekend. He described Trump’s arrival Friday as “Right on schedule, the turd showed...

    In a bizarre turn of events, President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday he wants to ask NFL players who knelt during the national anthem to suggest more people for him to pardon. Before heading to the G-7 summit in Canada, Trump addressed reporters outside the White House. When the topic of pardons arose, Trump surprised many by suggesting he'd take suggestions on who to pardon next from the same NFL players he bashed. AFTER SAYING NO ONE SHOULD REMAIN IN THE LOCKER ROOMS DURING THE PLAYING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, TRUMP INVITED PLAYERS TO GIVE HIM SUGGESTIONS FOR PARDONS...

    Imagining a world where George Lucas’ space fantasy didn’t revolutionize Hollywood Despite the decades that have passed since its release, it would be hard to argue that any film is as relevant to the way movies are made today than George Lucas’ 1977 space opera, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Kevin Feige, the Marvel head honcho who presides over what is the most lucrative and successful film franchise currently operating — including Star Wars — talks openly about how much of an impact the original trilogy had on him. The list of filmmakers who directly crib from...

    HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher admitted that he hopes the American economy will crash so that President Donald Trump will be voted out of office. Maher, along with his panel, discussed the success of the Trump administration’s growing economy, but remained skeptical about how long the prosperity will last. “I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy,” Maher said during the June 8 show. “So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that...

    Video at link. Actor and producer Rob Reiner has news for President Trump: He’s the first commander in chief to be supported by the “mainstream media.” The man who starred as “Meathead” in the television series “All in the Family” says Mr. Trump is shielded from criticism by the mainstream media. He made the claim while talking politics Friday with the ladies of ABC’s “The View.” “This is the first time also in American history where we have had a president — every president uses propaganda to sell a policy — Republicans and Democrats,” Mr Reiner said...

    hough his impact during the Korean War was significant, Michael Drake said his father, Dale, was not a volunteer. "He was drafted into the Army to serve as an anesthesiology physician. That was his first job," said Michael, who himself is an anesthesiologist in Evansville. Dr. Dale Drake, who passed away on Tuesday, was stationed in the 8055 MASH unit in Korea. He was 93 at his death. Dale, along with his wife, Cathy — who worked in the same unit — would later help Hollywood shape the way America saw the Korean War. About 10 years after Korea, the...

    The trailer sets up the film's focus on Armstrong, his years as a research test pilot and then as an astronaut, building up to what the movie's tagline describes as the "impossible journey to the moon." In July 1969, Armstrong commanded Apollo 11, NASA's first mission to land humans on the moon. The two-minute teaser provides quick glimpses of Armstrong (Gosling) piloting the X-15 rocket plane and as command pilot for his first spaceflight, Gemini 8 in 1966. The trailer also includes scenes based on Armstrong's private life, in particular his relationship with his first wife Janet, played by Claire...

    Hollywood actress Jodie Foster said she would be “much more comfortable having robots” own a gun than an emotional human doing so. “I mean, I’d be much more comfortable having robots have them, but we are designed to have emotions that overflow and that are not guided by our heads,” the Hannibal star said in a recent interview with Indie Wire. “To have sentient beings that are completely and entirely guided by their emotions have the power to administer life or death using one kilowatt of energy in a nanosecond is just unfathomable with me,” Foster added.
