The actress appeared at a screening of the film Ray Gunn at the London Film Festival on October 10, where she wore a scarlet red dress that showed off her meaningful back tattoos. The 41-year-old actress posed on the red carpet in a bright...

Sunny Hostin, co-host of ABC's "The View," boasted that she "was the holdout juror in the 1991 trial of Daniel Rakowitz, the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park. The other eleven jurors wanted to convict him. He killed Monika Beerle, cut her up into pieces, made a soup that he ate and also fed to the homeless. I convinced the rest of the jury that his act of charity toward the homeless showed he wasn't really a bad person. We all then agreed that he should be found not guilty by reason of insanity." The problem with Hostin's boast is that...

Okay, I’m going to talk about Green Lantern again. The silly superhero, and what DC Studios is doing with that character, that franchise. It’s going to be one of those days, so be warned. About a month ago, I talked about The Green Lantern Show, a.k.a. Lanterns on HBO. Which is part of this new DC Universe they’re trying to establish, which launched with Superman last year. That reboot. (Technically, it launched with something called Creature Commandos, an HBO cartoon based on some obscure DC characters. Basically, monsters who fight for the United States. But nobody watched that.) Anyway, they’re...

,b>No raping? No lies? You can’t do journalism that way.When 60 Minutes debuts its 59th season, the one thing we can be certain of is that the media will announce that it’s a disaster and blame Bari Weiss and clamor for government intervention. The former New York Times columnist who had the temerity to not only leave the storied paper, but also start her own successful media venture, The Free Press, before getting hired to clean up CBS News, and to do all that while questioning wokeness and defending America and Israel, is more loathed than Trump in media circles....

From Aslan to Translan… Meryl Streep will voice the male lion and Christ figure in the upcoming Narnia movie. If you want to know just how much Hollywood hates us and just how much this hate overrides any desire to realize a profit, I give you Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s Christian story, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. Anyone vaguely familiar with Narnia franchise understands that the central character in all seven Narnia novels is Aslan the lion. Aslan is Narnia’s godhead character, the creator of the physical world of Narnia, its animals, its plants, and the moral order. For...

Maria Bartiromo has reportedly spoken with CBS News chief Bari Weiss about a potential broadcasting role on 60 Minutes following her sudden exit from Fox News. The potential move could put Bartiromo on one of television’s biggest stages. According to insiders, 60 Minutes was among the destinations discussed as the 58-year-old sought an immediate broadcasting comeback. Fox News might have done her a big favor and hurt themselves more than they realized. Fox News has already renamed her show Mornings with Fox Business instead of Mornings with Maria. Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice reported that Bartiromo and Weiss had already...

CNN’s chyron was already doing the heavy lifting for the narrative — treating Trump’s victory talk like some embarrassing rerun of 2003 — when Scott Jennings decided to ignore the script and talk about results instead. Let's not pretend Jennings ever gives one single damn about a script ... While the rest of the NewsNight panel treated “ongoing war” as settled fact, Jennings pointed to the scoreboard that actually matters: Iran’s defense industrial base has been smashed, its oil exports have been shut off since the naval blockade resumed, and the U.S. Navy has already shepherded 750 million barrels of...

Just one day after calling President Donald Trump a “fat pig,” Jelly Roll doubled down on his remarks. The famous singer stepped in as guest host of Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and refused to back down amid backlash over comments he made Monday on the very same stage. “Now, let’s be honest for a second. Any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes, right?” he told the audience, Tuesday. Determined not to walk back his stance, Jelly Roll continued. “They should also be able to handle gas prices, healthcare, and the occasional international conflict, but...

This is one of those posts that this editor was about to scroll by, thinking it was clickbait. The government-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was instructing its writers, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, not to call them terrorist attacks? Are they being sensitive to their "newcomers," hoping there's no Norm Macdonald-style backlash? This is an opinion column written by The Toronto Sun's Brian Lilley, and he says he's seen the memo. Rage bait, right? Even Hasan Piker, who believes America deserved 9/11, would agree it was a successful terrorist attack. Lilley writes: This week,...

CHICAGO -- Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday's game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a verbal altercation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Kanter Freedom was sitting courtside in a black T-shirt that read: "WOMAN noun. adult human female." When a timeout was called late in the third quarter, Cloud walked toward Kanter Freedom and shouted at him. He was standing with his arms outstretched and took a few steps toward the court before security cut him off and directed him to leave.

Rosie O’Donnell kicked off her second night of guest hosting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, much like she did on Monday, with Kimmel-esque nicknames for President Trump coupled with accusations of fascism while not appreciating the irony of being able to host a show in such an allegedly fascist environment. O’Donnell also made sure to follow in Anthony Anderson’s footsteps and mock Trump’s escape from Turkey by shrinking the size of the airport catering truck to a simple cart, “This has been kind of a strange experience for me, because all of a sudden I'm re-famous. I'm back in...

The Newsroom and American Rust alum Jeff Daniels says The Brink of War, his new Cold War-era nail-biter, which tells an extraordinary true story, has themes that resonate today. “The world is still a dangerous place,” Daniels, 71, told UPI in a Zoom interview Wednesday. “There are nuclear weapons out there. More countries have them than had them, say, back in 1986. More countries want them and the world seems to be on a path towards setting up mutually assured destruction, again, whether you have star wars shields or not.” Written and directed by Michael Russell Gunn, the film follows...

"It's really you," a Ukrainian woman says in surprise as Boris Johnson takes off his woolly hat to reveal that unmistakable shock of hair. The former prime minister is on an unannounced trip to Ukraine to report on the war and make the case for increased British support. There is a surprise for viewers, too, because Johnson has made a sober, no-frills documentary – Boris Johnson: Into Ukraine's Kill Zone (Channel 5) – with a serious purpose. He has done this at no small risk to his safety. During his first night on the front line, he is awoken by...

BREAKING: KRQE has lost the CBS affiliation after 72 years — and it's moving to KOAT, making Channel 7 the undisputed juggernaut of New Mexico television. Mark Ronchetti spent 15+ years at KRQE and also worked at KOAT. Sources in both buildings. Nobody else can break this down from the inside. CBS told Nexstar the money wasn't enough. Hearst stepped up and wrote the check. Now KOAT holds BOTH major networks — and KRQE goes independent. Is one station holding both major networks good for New Mexico — or a consolidation problem nobody's talking about?

In another case of “the internet is not real life,” Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” opened above expectations last weekend, dominating the box office with a massive $264 million global launch. This despite a months-long campaign from far right individuals on social media lamenting Nolan’s decision to cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy (a character who is in the film for all of three minutes) and Elliot Page as Achilles (Page did not, in fact, play Achilles). The conservative backlash intensified when Elon Musk endorsed complaints against “The Odyssey” and kept tweeting about how the film was doomed to fail....

Author Stephen King deleted a post on social media defending Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D), who is facing widespread backlash after his former girlfriend accused him of rape. King, a Maine resident, weighed in on a report from Politico published Monday that revealed the accusation from Jenny Racicot, Platner’s former girlfriend, who alleged Platner sexually assaulted her five years ago. King wrote in a post on the social media platform X, which was later deleted: “Graham Platner may drop out. (I hope he doesn’t, but.) Meanwhile, the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin’ on,” appearing to compare the...
