Mad Men actor Jon Hamm hosted the event, adding a light-hearted tone to the prestigious ceremony with jokes and skits. However, one may have crossed a line. The Hollywood star was interrupted by fellow actor Bob Odenkirk, who was dressed as Pope Leo XIV with a mitre and stole embossed with the Chicago Bears logo and patches. Pope Leo XIV, who became the first ever American Pope when he was elected to serve as head of the Catholic church last year, hails from Chicago and has accepted Bears jerseys as gifts over the past year. While discussing the season, Odenkirk,...

Roger Taylor of Queen has released a new single, titled "Chumps." Though Taylor has not made any specific comments, "Chumps" appears to be a protest song aimed at President Trump, with lyrics like "A one-man calamity, catastrophe / No trace of sanity, an empty shell." In the song's description on YouTube, Taylor has one lone quote about the song: "Gotta say something." "Chumps" brings Taylor into a fold of musicians speaking out against the current administration, and more specifically the ongoing conflict in Minneapolis, Minnesota involving federal ICE agents. Others who have released protest music include Billy Bragg ("City of...

The Grammy Awards took place last night, and — just like last year — it was less a show about music than it was an anti-ICE political demonstration. Several performers wore "ICE Out" pins, similar to those on display at the Golden Globes last month, including Billie Eilish. Eillish also called America "stolen land" and said no one is illegal. Eillish has not given up her stolen land, which was once occupied by members of the Tongva tribe. It would be hilarious if one of them sued Eillish for her property, just to see what she says. ... Bad Bunny,...

Pop star Billie Eilish has been hit with calls to either return her $3 million Los Angeles mansion to a Native American tribe or welcome migrants inside following her controversial Grammys declaration. The 24-year-old singer won a Grammy for her hit song Wildflower on Sunday, but it was her acceptance speech that got the country talking. 'As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land,' Eilish said, referencing the colonization of the Americas by Europeans. As she stood alongside her brother Finneas, who co-wrote and...

"We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."His statement was met with applause and standing ovations. It came as protests against ICE took place across the country this weekend,...

Bruce Springsteen has released a song in honor of Alex Pretti and Renee Good titled "Streets of Minneapolis." Springsteen announced the release Wednesday on Instagram. "I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis," Springsteen said. "It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good." The slow-burning song builds from just acoustic guitar and voice to a fuller band tune, including a harmonica solo, and ends with chants of "ICE...

Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today’s Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution. This is a direct quote, per the far-left Variety, and these are the words of a narcissistic sociopath. Block quotes are Variety’s… This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting. We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of...

The last decade or so of American politics has inspired a lot of political statements from the people of Hollywood, who are pretty clearly as freaked out by what feel like ongoing and inexorable shifts toward both national and global authoritarianism as the rest of us. But few have been as blunt about it as Giancarlo Esposito was this week, stepping up on his soapbox at the Sundance Film Festival and declaring, “This is time for a revolution—and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting.” Esposito, at the festival to promote his new Jon Turturro movie The Only Living...

Graham Nash, Neal Schon, Tom Morello and other rock stars took to social media to react to a Border Patrol agent fatally shooting 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. You can see their reactions below. What Happened to Alex Pretti? On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis fatally shot killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse who appeared to be using his phone to record U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher said Monday that the Democratic Party needs to "tell celebrities to shut the (expletive) up" if it wants to win elections in the future. Maher told the California Post that Hollywood is holding the party back from achieving its goals. "Hollywood [is] sort of the epicenter of the woke left. I don’t think they’re doing the Democratic Party any favors," he told the outlet. "I think if Democrats want to win elections in the future, job one, tell the celebrities to ‘Just shut the (expletive) up. You’re not helping. You don’t strike people in most...

In this wide-ranging conversation, host Jack Fowler sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Spalding to confront the forgotten truths of communism’s deadly legacy.

Smacking Down The Hollywood Stars by MJ Yesterday, I put together a list of quotes from the Hollywood stars about the war. Someone named MJ then sent me an email that read as follows, "I read your celeb quotes on your page there. I live in Hollywood and work in the Industry, so I have to deal with these people daily. I had a few things to say about these inane ramblings, especially since I usually have to keep my conservative little mouth shut for fear of being blacklisted here in liberal land because I dare to disagree with the...

THE dearth of A-list celebrities attending the Republican National Convention has unleashed a bevy of B-listers on the town, including former liberal Stephen Baldwin. Though he doesn't admit to being a Republican, the actor is throwing his support to the team of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney under the banner of his new, born-again Christianity.

Michael Stinson of "Bush is a Nazi" fame (http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html) has issued a threat to HollywoodHalfwits.com to stop bashing him. The link is to the topic on Hollywood Halfwits. Stinson posts under "Symbolman"

Fed up with opinions of TV, movie stars, ordinary people go on massive offensive. Americans objecting to the anti-war rhetoric of Hollywood celebrities are no longer remaining silent, but are starting to fight back with their own grass-roots offensive. They're on the attack flooding actors, talent agencies and anti-war groups with their own thoughts on the possibility of war with Iraq, and what they think of the public stances being taken by many entertainers. Sheryl Crow: 'The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies' (photo: Hollywood.com) "These [celebrities] are abusing their stature and they need to be...
