    Actor Jeff Daniels lamented former Vice President Kamala Harris losing the 2024 presidential election in a new interview, saying she would have governed like President Abraham Lincoln. "I still think about Kamala, and how I think she would have been a good choice," Daniels told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace in an episode published Monday of her podcast, "The Best People." "I don't care what they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did." "Liz Cheney would have been secretary of state," Daniels said. "Team of Rivals," Wallace interjected, referencing the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin, "Team of Rivals: The Political...

    In many ways deep red Texas could not be further from the liberal movie sets of Hollywood. But now a gaggle of A-listers and lawmakers believe the it is the perfect place to set up a film industry which could not only rival Tinseltown's, but topple it altogether... They have recently helped secure a bill that will inject $300 million into the Texas film industry over the next two years and provide tax incentives for the next decade. However the new law, which comes into effect on September 1, does contain some distinctly Texan stipulations when it comes to who...

    I would like to say that Rosie O'Donnell quietly left her country of origin for greener pastures. That dog didn't hunt. Rosie left for Ireland with a great deal of fanfare behind her decision. Like her house was on fire, she grabbed her passport and fled from the land of President Trump. As her feet hit foreign soil, she didn't waste a moment declaring herself safe that day from all things Trumpian. Safe and sound across the pond, Rosie created a throne where she became something like a TikTok televangelist. From her place on high, she passes judgment on us...

    Anti-Israel and anti-Trump actor John Cusack expressed hope last Friday that Iran will get a nuclear weapon. In a post shared to X, the actor said Iran should get a nuclear weapon so that it can deter the U.S. and Israel’s aggression in the Middle East. "Iran will surely rush to get a nuclear weapon- and they should get one," he wrote, adding, "it’s the only way to deter US and Israel from bombing every country in Middle East." Cusack published his post almost a week after President Donald Trump ordered U.S. military strikes on three major Iranian facilities believed...

    Variety ^ | June 30, 2025 | Rebecca Rubin Plus Icon
    It’s lights out and away we go at the box office as “F1,” a big-budget racing drama starring Brad Pitt, impressively revs to $55.6 million in its domestic opening weekend. With great reviews and a promising “A” grade on CinemaScore exit polls, “F1” landed in the middle of expectations of $50 million to $60 million. At the international box office, the film collected a strong $88.4 million from 78 markets. Those initial ticket sales are significant given “F1” is an adult-skewing tentpole that’s not part of an existing film franchise — a rarity in today’s I.P.-dominated movie theater landscape. Directed...

    SNIP The film, set in Arkansas in 2010, tells the story of Jerry Kane, a self-described “sovereign citizen” who proselyted against laws and governmental authority via appearances on right-wing radio talk shows and traveling around the Midwest delivering seminars about property rights and avoiding taxes. It’s as if Ron Swanson had gone fully around the bend. A widowed, unemployed roofer, Jerry constantly faces eviction and home-schools his teenage son Joe (Jacob Tremblay, Room). He’s a loving but disciplinary father, hectoring his son to say his prayers every night and reminding him, “Don’t forget J.C.” Like many others of his ilk,...

    Today we wish June Lockhart, the veteran actress and television icon a Happy 100th Birthday! Naturally, we immediately think of June Lockhart for her roles as TV mothers. First there was Ruth Martin in Lassie, young Timmy’s (Jon Provost) Mom from 1958 to 1964. Ms. Lockhart replaced Cloris Leachman (who in turn replaced Jan Clayton). Then there was Maureen Robinson in Lost in Space, mother to Judy (Marta Kristen), Penny (Angela Cartwright) and Will (Bill Mumy) from 1965 to 1968. And, finally, Janet Craig, the surrogate Mom of sorts to Billie Jo (Meredith MacRae), Bobbie Jo (Lori Saunders) and Betty...
