The new Tom Hanks flick titled “Here” failed to impress and generated just $5 million at the box office. Adding to the issue is the fact that the Robert Zemeckis-directed film cost $50 million for Miramax to make, according to Deadline. The movie was released by Sony and saw the reunion of the “Forrest Gump” gang by bringing together Hanks, Robin Wright and Eric Roth. The movie centers around a multi-generation family and takes place in just one location. Zemeckis has a number of hits under his belt, including “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” “Forrest Gump” and “The Polar Express,” but...

The mayoral debate in San Francisco, California, took a bizarre turn after Democrat Mayor London Breed asked her challenger to name three LGBTQ advisers to his campaign as well as three drag queens in the city or prove his loyalty to the cause. Breed pitched the question during Monday’s debate, putting the five candidates on the same stage. They were each given the opportunity to ask a fellow candidate a question, and Breed used the opportunity to ask challenger Mark Farrell to prove his loyalty to the LGBTQ2S+ community by naming three drag queens in the city. “I’d like to...

Former first lady Michelle Obama joined former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Biden aboard Air Force One on Tuesday to travel to the funeral of former first lady Rosalynn Carter in Georgia. Michelle Obama, 59, traveled without her husband and Biden’s ex-boss, former President Barack Obama, amid renewed speculation that she could follow in Hillary Clinton’s footsteps and seek the nation’s top job for herself. The 81-year-old Biden faces dismal poll numbers ahead of next year’s expected rematch against former President Donald Trump, who leads in national and swing-state polls despite four pending criminal...

18 May Golan, Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women of Israel, said Saturday that she had approached former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama to condemn attacks on Israeli women by Hamas on October 7 — and been met with complete silence.

Everyone in life faces disadvantages of one form or another. Almost all children get called an unpleasant name or two in grade school. Some are oppressed by a drunk, abusive, or absent parent. Others may be trapped in horrific schools or extreme poverty. Still others are simply not gifted with high IQs or the ambition to work hard and succeed. The list of reasons why most people don’t go to Ivy League schools and then on to lucrative careers is long, and “oppression” comes in many forms. If you are the first black White House family, oppression takes the shape...

Rating: In September 2023, users on X shared an old video and claimed that it showed Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks saying he had "no respect" for people who wouldn't wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most popular post from Sept. 19 earned millions of impressions. The video upload in the post was attributed to a January 2023 post made by the account @healthbyjames, which...

Tom Hanks sparked concern among his fans earlier this month, as he appeared to be struggling to contain the shaking of his arm. The 65-year-old is in the midst of a promotional whirlwind for Baz Luhrmann's biopic of Elvis, in which Hanks stars as the singer's manager. Luhrmann, who was born in Sydney, arranged for an Australian premier to be held in the city of Gold Coast, 50 miles south of Brisbane, where the filming took place. Austin Butler, 30, who stars as The King, was at the June 4 event, along with Hanks. 'There is no better place in...

Why is the Biden "administration" running advertisements for itself on prime time TV? This is a two minute commercial they made and are running with Tom Hanks and UPS talking about how America is great, best economy ever, more jobs created etc...with Dear Leader front and center. It is a campaign ad in his first year. No campaign going on. It is scary 1984 big brother level propaganda, unprecedented as far as I know. The totalitarianism that is happening is real and chilling.

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris led official Washington in a second day of tributes for the late Sen. Bob Dole on Friday at Washington National Cathedral, a day after Biden honored his longtime colleague in the Capitol Rotunda. Former President Bill Clinton, who defeated Dole in the 1996 election, and former Vice President Mike Pence were among the prominent attendees, sitting one row apart. Former President Donald Trump, for whom Dole repeatedly expressed support, was not present. Also in attendance was actor Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks awkwardly put his foot in his mouth as he questioned 'where's the groom?' while crashing a same-sex wedding on Santa Monica beach over the weekend - before quickly realising his error. The guests burst into laughter as the Oscar winner, 65, asked to take a picture with the bride and groom after accidentally walking into their ceremony, only to realise it was a same-sex union. After realising his mistake, Tom shouted 'Oh get out, my stock just exploded!', before putting his arms around the two brides, Diciembre and Tashia Farries, to pose for a photograph. The newlyweds later...

Peter Scolari, who famously starred in the sitcom "Bosom Buddies" alongside Tom Hanks, has died. He was 66. His passing was confirmed by his manager, Ellen Lubin Sanitsky, to Fox News on Friday. The cause of death was cancer after a two-year battle. "He was a wonderful, wonderful, extraordinary actor," she said. "It's heartbreaking."

Few movie stars have been more exalted than Tom Hanks. You'd never expect a guy with his nice-guy branding to get a strong slap in the face in the political arena. But Hanks penned a "guest essay" for The New York Times lecturing on racism, which opened him up for a shaming from the left. On June 4, Hanks boasted about how he bores people at parties with his historical knowledge but lamented growing up in the schools of Oakland and never hearing a word about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. It was "systematically ignored, perhaps because it was...

For many people, Tom Hanks may be the most trusted person in America. The Hollywood star, born in Concord and raised in Oakland, has become more outspoken recently regarding societal issues, imploring Americans to wear masks following his own COVID-19 diagnosis and hosting Joe Biden's inauguration day TV special. Today, he continued that spirit of social engagement with a New York Times op-ed deploring the lack of education surrounding the Tulsa Race Massacre. In the essay, Hanks recounts his upbringing in Oakland, commenting on both the city's diversity and integration, as well as the polarization and division. He notes that...

MICHELLE and Barack Obama enjoyed a swanky dinner with Steven Spielberg, Bruce Springsteen, and other Hollywood elites at Tom Hanks’ $26million mansion. The former US leader and first lady were spotted in Pacific Palisades on Sunday night, where the Secret Service took over the neighborhood to accommodate the A-listers' evening. Located in a cul de sac, Hanks' home was the perfect location for a lowkey but glitzy dinner after Tom and Rita celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary on Friday. The White House-turned-Tinseltown power couple was spotted sitting in a black car and staring intently at their phones as they left...

Chet Hanks, son of the Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, has been criticized for using a “racist” font on his new collection of merchandise which is also controversially called White Boy Summer. His black and white range of clothes, which include hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, tank tops, leggings, caps and bike shorts, has been called out online for its use of a Gothic-style font that is close to the one used by white nationalists. It’s also similar to the Fraktur fonts, which were used in Nazi Germany most prominently on the cover of Hitler’s Mein Kampf book. “Hmm unfortunately the merch looks...
