Before the WGA writers strike and nominally sincere, Pride-branded content take hold, soak up the torrent of LGBTQ content premiering in May. Streamers and studios appear to be gearing up for Pride Month early this year, as May offers a feast of queer content in the form of groundbreaking reality series, stand-up specials and poignant art films. Netflix is unleashing a torrent of programming, with a new Anna Nicole Smith documentary; two sapphic-minded comedy titles; a new “Queer Eye”; and even a messy, highly commercial dating show. And other streamers have taken note: Hulu, for example, might have the most...

Hollywood celebrities wasted little time demanding gun control in the immediate aftermath of Monday’s shooting at a Christian school in Tennessee that left six dead, including three children. Authorities said the shooter, who is also dead, was a 28-year-old female. Stars calling for gun control just hours after the shooting took place include Julianne Moore, Mia Farrow, Sandra Bernhard, Ethan Embry, and newly minted Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis.

On Monday, Showtime wiped out ten percent of its staff with a brutal round of layoffs, reports the far-left Deadline. More… Monday started with a shock and awe campaign at Showtime as the exits of a slew of top executives were announced in short succession. By the end of the day, about 120 people in total had lost their jobs in the layoffs, sources confirm to Deadline. That represents more than 10% of the company’s workforce. Leading the departures are Co-Presidents of Entertainment Gary Levine (who is segueing to an advisory role) and Jana Winograde as well EVP Nonfiction Vinnie...

I wonder why HBO turned off comments on their Twitter ads/threads for this show.

Are movies still relevant? ... Even as Hollywood rebounds a bit at the box office (up 21 percent in 2022), critics rightly observe that innovation is suffering. Sequels, reboots, and franchises rule the day and artsy “prestige films” can’t find audiences. Part of the problem: audiences have a growing (and justifiable) sense that Hollywood is increasingly less interested in entertaining them than in force-feeding them progressive ideals.As I put together my list, I focused on films that didn’t pit entertainment against artistry or confuse the difference between having something to say and telling audiences what to think. The best movies...

by Becca LondonAll three contestants on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" failed to solve a very simple clue about a midwestern state referenced in a popular movie classic, and the interaction went viral on social media.The video showed contestant Torrey DeVitto, a TV actress and model, pick the category "The Fifty States" for $300. "In 'Field of Dreams' a question is asked, 'Is this heaven?' - No, it's this midwestern state also known as 'the corn state,'" read host Mayim Bialik. DeVitto guessed Wisconsin and was shot down. Candace Parker, a WNBA player, offered Nebraska, which was also wrong. Comedian Patton Oswalt, a...

Earlier this year, “Wonder Years” star Danica McKellar gave a testimony of her newly found faith in Christ to her social media followers. “Hey everyone! I went live today to share the journey I’ve recently embarked on….🙏,” McKellar said in an April Instagram post. “I’m not here to preach, but I have so much love in my heart I just had to share what I’m experiencing, and to share a little why I believe it’s taken me up to this point to begin this journey. ❤️” McKellar went on to share how Candace Cameron Bure sent her a Bible and...

Fans of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” may be disappointed to see actress Marina Sirtis claiming she’s deleting her Twitter account this weekend. The popular one-hit-wonder who has been milking the brand that built her for decades announced several times that she’s done with the social media site now that free speech (or as she calls it, “hate speech”) appears to be coming back now that Elon Musk has purchased the company. Will any other Hollywood wokesters soon follow? We can only hope.

We live in strange times for sure. The radical Sodomite Left says that if you are a straight man that refuses to date a transgender ‘woman’, it’s only because you hate them, and not because they’re not really a woman. They say that if you don’t support the burning and looting of minority and woman run businesses, then you hate Black Lives Matter and black people. Really? Billed as America’s first gay romantic comedy, ‘Bros’ features lots of hairy men kissing each other as well as a four-man orgy, and almost no one wanted to see that. Can you blame...

The standard for Hollywood today is to take a previously established franchise that is highly beloved and then proceeds to bastardize it in order to push the left’s narratives and agendas.You’re currently watching it happen with a lot of your favorite brands from Star Wars to Marvel. Of course, the left has made it very clear for years that they’ve had their eye on the Bond franchise.The reason being is pretty obvious. James Bond is everything they hate. He’s a charming, confident, competent, and masculine man who attracts women’s carnal desires despite themselves. For Hollywood, as infected with the social...

Actress Jennifer Lawrence claims she “can’t **** with people who aren’t political anymore” — meaning she can’t deal with them anymore — and that she “unleash[es] text message” rants at her family in Kentucky and has nightmares about Tucker Carlson. In a recent interview with Vogue, Lawrence spoke with writer Abby Aguirre over a bottle of wine in an outdoor dining area, where she talked about her misery derived from the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade and her conservative family members — including her father — in Louisville, Kentucky. The actress, who has an estimated net worth of...

Another woke Hollywood lefty is on the loose with more terrible takes on abortion. So get your lightsaber, because Star Wars actor Mark Hamill just gave one that’ll make you wish you were getting force-choked. Hamill took to Twitter to portray couples willing to adopt babies to the mentally deranged DC supervillains Joker and Harley Quinn. Following a common theme on left-wing Twitter, Hamill demonized couples willing to adopt babies from unplanned pregnancies as malicious, discrediting the 36 couples that wait for every one baby that is adopted. Instead of allowing the baby to grow up in a household, Hamill...

December 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Many Star Wars fans flocking to see Rogue One this weekend don't know the dark side of Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker. When Los Angeles model Maegan Chen found out earlier this year that she was pregnant with Hamill's grandbaby, Hamill and his son Nathan pressured her to have an abortion. But despite the attempted coercion, Maegan courageously resisted, and her baby, Autumn, was just born and is thriving. Maegan was unavailable for comment on this story, but she discussed the situation with LifeSiteNews for a previous report. She found out she...

Disney Pixar's Lightyear appears to be a huge flop this weekend at the box office as estimates have dropped by as much as 35% in a day. Following its $5.2 million for Wednesday and Thursday previews, Lightyear starring Chris Evans as the "original" voice of Buzz was estimated early Friday morning to open to as high as $85 million for the weekend, but now those estimates are a lot lower with it looking like the flick makes only $55 million, with it still hoped to make as much as $60 million. It's also possible Lightyear could miss out on being...

Tomorrow night, the Tony Awards are being presented, thankfully live again. Only 16 people have won the EGOT -- Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. How many can you name?

Hollywood celebrities hyperventilated all over Twitter and poured praise on Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Thursday in response to the January 6 committee hearing about the riot on Capitol Hill. Celebrities from John Leguizamo to Alyssa Milano cranked the drama up to 11. “I can’t breathe! We were so close to the end of our democracy!” the Encanto star said.

Anchors Sandra Smith, John Roberts and Bret Baier reacted Tuesday on Fox News to actor Mathew McConaughey’s White House address, noting how “impassioned” McConaughey was. Smith said, “You were just listening to actor Matthew McConaughey, born in Uvalde, Texas, meeting with the victims’ families, met with the president, saying we need to make the lost lives matter. He went into the ways he believes we can improve the situation in this country and prevent mass shootings. He wants to raise the age for buying an assault rifle to 21 years old unless you are in the military. He says all...

A jury on Friday found Hollywood architect and film academy member Jeffrey Cooper guilty of three counts of child molestation. The two-week criminal trial began May 9 at the Los Angeles Superior Court in Van Nuys, four years after Cooper was arrested and a grand jury indicted him on eight counts involving two children. Cooper, a resident of Calabasas, pleaded not guilty. The jury convicted him on three felony charges of a lewd act on a child involving one of his accusers. Jurors, however, were unable to render a verdict on five counts against Cooper involving the other accuser. Judge...
