Some Apple Vision Pro users are finding that the virtual-reality headset isn’t so easy on the eyes, after all. Emily Olman got her $3,500 device in February and told MarketWatch that it gave her two black eyes after she wore it for the first time for about an hour. “I wasn’t able to use it very much the first few weeks because the fit was just off,” said Olman, chief media officer at Hopscotch Interactive, who is based in Kensington, Calif. Olman creates videos with the device for commercial and residential real-estate clients. She added that she had “like, superdark...

Whoopi Goldberg Makes False Claim Showing Her Utter Ignorance of U.S. History “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg suffered another unhinge meltdown, accusing Republicans of wanting to bring back slavery. However, Goldberg’s claims are far outside of the truth. The fact that the Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the U.S. shows Goldberg’s ignorance of American history. Not only that, the party that she supports supported slavery. Which begs the question: Why would Republicans fight to bring back something that they fought to end? The Democrats rely on ignorance from useful idiots like Goldberg to continue lying to the...

“Well, a testicular eclipse is probably not something you had on your bingo card, but here we are. As you likely know by now, Monday was the big day for the Solar eclipse, and many states in the US were in the path of the “total eclipse,” as were other countries around the world. In fact, folks near Torreón, Mexico, got to experience “totality” for one of the longest periods of time, lasting 4 minutes and 28 seconds, according to NASA. Wikipedia explains that the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, was a total solar eclipse visible within a band...

Released between the Godfathers, Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 film was a passion project – and its tale of a surveillance expert disturbed by what he hears hits even harder in 2024. Ever get the feeling you are being watched? How many cameras caught you on your way to work today? How many companies tracked your buying habits on your lunch break? Where is all this information about you going? These may be obviously pertinent questions in the digital age, when 21st-Century technology gives corporations and institutions unprecedented access to our personal information, but they've been the subject of feverish concern...

Country music star Jelly Roll revealed he once declined an invitation to meet with rapper and music mogul P Diddy. During an interview with Tana Mangeau on the CANCELLED podcast, the singer said he was given the opportunity to meet Diddy when he and the rapper were star guests on Jimmy Kimmel. “I will tell this story, and I’ll probably get in trouble for it. Not harping on it cause it’s a hot topic. But I did Kimmel the day Diddy did Kimmel,” he said. “This is the first time in my career, ever, where they said, ‘Do you want...

Dennis Quaid has long been a familiar face in Hollywood, starring in hits and cult classics such as "Traffic," "Parent Trap," and "Innerspace." While he continues to appear on celluloid, lately he has also been mounting stages to sing God's praises.

Quaid, a 69-year-old Houston native, recently expounded on some details of...

Billy Dee Williams said that he believes actors should be able to do what they want to do, including blackface. The comments were made on Bill Maher's show, "Club Random with Bill Maher." Williams called attention to Laurence Olivier's performance in "Othello," where he wore blackface. "When he did 'Othello,' I fell out laughing. He stuck his a** out and walked around because black people are supposed to have big a**es." Following the comments, Maher replied: "Today, they would never let you do that." "Why?" Williams responded. "You should do it. If you're an actor, you should do anything you...

The marvel of Katharine Hepburn's enduring stardom is how secure it is now, two decades after her death and three after her last film performance – especially compared to her early years in Hollywood, when audiences were having a hard time figuring out if they liked her at all. From her first role in George Cukor's A Bill of Divorcement (1932), Hepburn's appeal with the moviegoing public had a one step forward, two steps back momentum. She'd go from a hit like Alice Adams (1935) to a string of flops like Sylvia Scarlett (1935), Mary of Scotland (1936) and Quality...

Following my evening meal, I indulged in my usual nighttime routine: I tuned into the original "Star Trek" TV series. Although I joined the episode "Return of the Archonsopens in a new tab or window" 15 minutes late, it wasn't a concern, given that I had watched it nearly a dozen times before. What was striking, however, was the eerie relevance it had to a discussion I had just had about creativity. The core message of the episode explores the potential stagnation of a society that is overly conformist and lacks imagination. It underscores the importance of memory, imagination, and...

Hopefully, this cash can be resurrected. In a heist of Biblical proportions, thieves pilfered about $30 million cash from a Los Angeles-area vault on Easter Sunday – and no one even noticed the empty vault until the next morning. The burglary took place Sunday night at the GardaWorld facility in Sylmar, which handles cash for several businesses in the area, sources told Eyewitness News. The thieves were so stealthy that the safe showed no signs of a break-in from the outside – and the operators of the business were none the wiser until they opened it on Monday, the Los...

The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils were quick to choose violence during Wednesday's matchup, engaging in an all-out fight that saw all but two players ejected as soon as the game opened. Eight players were assessed fighting majors and ejected during the line brawl, which took place right after the puck drop at Madison Square Garden. The Devils' Curtis Lazar and Rangers' Jimmy Vesey were hit with fighting majors but remained eligible to play as they were ruled to be the "first fight." Every other skater on the ice was ejected because of their "secondary altercations." The tossed...

Jerrod Carmichael recently opened up to Esquire magazine about tensions with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle. Carmichael, who is making the press rounds in support of his new HBO series, generated headlines in June 2022 when he criticized Chappelle, who had already been earning backlash for making jokes about the transgender community. “Chappelle, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro?” Carmichael asked during a GQ magazine profile at the time, referring to the comedian’s comments about trans people. “That’s the legacy? Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans ---? It’s an odd hill to...
