Ellen DeGeneres is struggling with the recent string of accusations from staffers and show guests claiming she's not nice, according to a new report. “Ellen is at the end of her rope,” an insider told Us Weekly. The daytime talk show host, 62, apparently didn't anticipate so many speaking out against her.

Dylan Howard, the chief content officer of American Media Inc., the publisher that owns magazines like the National Enquirer and Us Weekly, has been accused of sexual misconduct by former employees, according to a new report by the Associated Press.

Awkward! After someone forgot to switch off a microphone at the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, July 25, two senators were caught dissing President Donald Trump on a hot mic. Chairman of Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations Subcommittee Susan Collins and Sen. Jack Reed were unknowingly recorded discussing the federal budget and calling 71-year-old Trump “crazy” in audio obtained by The Washington Post. “I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” said Collins, a Republican senator from Maine. “With no measurement, no thinking...

Earlier this week, the internet was taken by storm after details emerged from a US Weekly report claiming that Melania and Donald Trump kept separate beds. Inside sources told the magazine that the former Slovenian model refused to sleep in the same bed as her husband, even in the rare occasion that she and the president were in the same location. "They have separate beds," one Trump source was quoted in the magazine. "They never spend the night together — ever." A second Trump insider said, "Melania does not keep hidden from everyone around her how miserable she is." The...

Whoops! Us Weekly ran a story quoting Sarah Palin demanding that Christina Aguilera be “deported” over her botched performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV. The only problem: It never happened. The item “quoted” Palin trashing Aguilera as “a demanding beauty queen who’s clearly in over her head” and adding for good measure, “If I were president, I’d deport Ms. Augilera back to wherever it is she’s from and give Amy Smart a call.” The fake quotes originated from an Onion-like satirical web site, relaying a fictional radio interview between the former Governor of Alaska and Fox News...

This is really bad. Us Weekly has published what it claims are comments made by Sarah Palin, in which the former vice presidential candidate blasts Christina Aguilera’s performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV. Except the over-the-top “quotes,” which Us Weekly attributes to a Monday radio interview with Sean Hannity, were actually written for a satire website. Again: Palin’s Aguilera comments are fabricated. They come from a satire piece. Only Us Weekly posted the “Palin” comments as real. Therefore, according to the outlet, Palin calls Aguilera a “demanding beauty queen who’s clearly in over her head.” The fake...

Sarah Palin has reportedly put Christina Aguilera on blast for her botched national anthem during the Super Bowl. According to US Magazine, Palin spoke to Sean Hannity during a radio interview on Monday, and called Aguilera a "demanding beauty queen who's clearly in over her head." Sarah went on to say, "Public figures must be held accountable for what they say. Here's another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn't understand something so basic about America, yet we're supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? Americans can see through that,...

Hot on the heels of Rachel Maddow getting duped by a satirical website post about Sarah Palin, comes US Weekly taking similar comedic bait.

LOS ANGELES -- Levi Johnston will make his music video debut as a lover whose romance is thwarted by his girlfriend's disapproving mother, according to a Universal Music Group record label and Johnston's attorney.

A rumor started by US Weekly alleges that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are “spending nights together” at her new condo in Anchorage. An anonymous source told the rumor to US Weekly. Subsequently, other major media outlets picked up the story, without fact-checking and the story spread like wild fire. Responsibility to Children Continues After Relationship Breaks When a couple has children, even if the romantic union dissolves, each partner has certain responsibilities to the children they’ve brought into this world. Bristol has been doing a fantastic job in this regard, as reported by Elisa Lipsky-Karasz in a Harper’s Bazaar...

The liberal media is trying to present a case that fewer than 1000 readers have actually canceled their USWeekly subscriptions - despite original stories that as many as 10,000 canceled. USWeekly certainly has NOT responded in public, and NO MSM writer has done anything other repeat the original story as we received it on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after Sarah was nominated for VP. Regardless of subscriptions, Walgreens, McDonald's, and JCPenney have been quick to respond to my emails complaining about the abhorrent, misleading and disgusting treatment USWeekly gave Sarah Palin as their cover story and inside copy last week....

I scanned the pages of Us Weekly magazine over the weekend. As if there were any doubt about how much of an Obama propagandist vehicle Us has become, behold: “Michelle’s Campaign Style.” We learn that “Michelle’s style can best be described as ‘timeless’ and that she prefers ‘festive jewel-toned dresses.’” We learn that she “possesses a natural and unpretentious sophistication” and that she “has the grace and beauty of a dancer” whether she’s wearing her “silk faille Moschino jacket,” or the “teal silk Narcisco Rodriguez dress.” On August 23, Us Weekly informs its millions of readers, “Michelle rocked a printed...

Us Weekly Magazine is getting hammered and losing thousands of subscribers over it's unbelievable attacks on Sarah Palin. Someone put together a site called usweekly.com and did a major Obama expose. You might enjoy it. OBAMA EXPOSE

Keep it up, folks. Us Weekly is feeling the heat. And now, they are pleading with readers to stick with them. Reader Susanna sent the following protest e-mail: During tense political times, it’s always nice to open up US Weekly and lose myself in some mindless gossip and fashion news. So imagine my DISGUST when I saw this week’s US Weekly cover: a revolting, sensationalist, bottom-feeding, partisan attack on mother and career woman Sarah Palin. You know, I’ve been rolling my eyes at your adoring coverage of Barack Obama, but I’ve put up with it in order to be...
