U.S. — A federal judge ordered the release of Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note, which oddly appears to have been written on Hillary Clinton's personal stationery. According to sources close to the investigation, the stationery was discovered neatly folded on Epstein's bed and prominently featured Clinton's official State Department letterhead, complete with embossed seal and matching monogram. "It's the darndest thing," said FBI Agent Tom Halleck. "There's just no telling how Epstein could have gotten a hold of Ms. Clinton's stationery. Why did he choose that particular piece of paper for recording his final thoughts? Quite the riddle we have...

Former president Bill Clinton has revealed that he regrets ever having met with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In his new book 'Citizen', which is scheduled to come out next week, Clinton, now 78, described his interactions with the convicted pedophile. The excerpts, first reported by The US Sun, show him admitting that he had flown on Esptein's private jet, the Lolita Express, in 2002 and 2003.

Newly unsealed documents reveal the disgraced financier had been using a catchphrase from a 1931 ‘Our Gang’ short for years before it appeared in his purported final note.Among the stranger threads running through the Epstein files is a minor obsession with The Little Rascals. The connection first drew attention this week, when a federal judge unsealed a handwritten note purportedly written by Epstein in July 2019, roughly three weeks before his death, following a suspected suicide attempt at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. The note ends with the phrase, “Whatcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!” The...

A suicide note purportedly written by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is locked inside the case file of his former cellmate, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, who told The New York Times it was written on paper from a yellow legal pad and tucked inside a book. According to the Times, Tartaglione found the note in July 2019, after Epstein unsuccessfully tried to kill himself -- about two weeks before Epstein died by suicide in his lower Manhattan jail cell. snip Tartaglione first mentioned the existence of the purported suicide note in a podcast last year. "It said something...

I killed myself. Wink!” “You know me, I keep busy, mahjong every Wednesday with Stalin and John Wayne Gacy. That guy has stories,” Ferrell’s Epstein said... Trump gave him a run-down on his “fun summer plans,” ...“Well, you know, we’ve got the World Cup UFC fight on...

Blue Oyster Cult's Buck Dharma reflected again on the immortal Saturday Night Live "More Cowbell" sketch that lampooned their hit song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," saying the results were ultimately positive — even if it forced the band to take preventative measures in concert. The sketch, which aired on April 8, 2000, starred Will Ferrell as fictional band member Gene Frenkle and Christopher Walken as producer Bruce Dickinson. Ferrell, dressed in a ridiculously tight and low-cut shirt, plays the cowbell so aggressively while recording "Reaper" that he distracts and infuriates his bandmates. Walken, however, is obsessed with capturing more of...

The Kamala Harris campaign has escalated from pandering to threats in the election’s closing days with an ad featuring Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell, who vowed to hold people “personally accountable” if they do not vote for the Democrat candidate. The Kamala Harris campaign has once again drafted Will Ferrell in an apparent attempt to browbeat white males into backing the Vice President’s bid for the presidency. In an advertisement released by the campaign on Sunday, the 57-year-old Hollywood actor spoke to a fictionalized hesitant voter named ‘Gary’, seemingly chosen to represent the average white male in the United...

As...

From streaming platform for half-baked reality dating shows to normalizing electric vehicles. When Netflix engages in shameless product placement, you can be sure it will at least be extra woke. The left-wing steamer has entered a deal to feature General Motors’ electric vehicles in its original movies and TV series, providing the company with a new revenue stream while also burnishing its questionable credentials as a corporate climate crusader. The campaign is also intended to serve as what one GM executive called a “blueprint” for Hollywood’s big push to normalize electric vehicles in the minds of consumers and to “accelerate...

There's never really any true way to know whether a Saturday Night Live sketch will become an instant classic or quickly fade from memory. But as Will Ferrell taught audiences on April 8, 2000, you can tilt the odds pretty drastically in your favor if you fall back on a Blue Öyster Cult hit, some banging cowbell and a fittingly bizarre Christopher Walken performance. We're talking, of course, about the "More Cowbell" sketch, which imagines the recording session that produced the Blue Öyster Cult classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" — specifically the contributions made by cowbell player Gene Frenkle (Ferrell),...

Holmes & Watson is the rare kind of bad movie that is actually causing moviegoers to leave before it's even finished. Much has already been made of the latest team-up between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Unfortunately, this wasn't the spiritual successor to Step Brothers that many had been hoping for. Instead, we seem to have a candidate for worst movie of the year, if public opinion is to be believed and now, there are quite a few people taking to Twitter to reveal that they, and others, have been walking out of showings. Going to the movies is...

The John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell team-up was not screened in advance for critics, so subsequent reviews will likely be added that may affect the score.

Patti Davis, daughter of late President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, penned an open letter Thursday to Will Ferrell, criticizing the actor for agreeing to play the 40th president in an upcoming satirical film about his battle with dementia. “I saw the news bulletin — as did everyone — that you intend to portray my father in the throes of Alzheimer’s for a comedy that you are also producing,” Ms. Davis, a former actress, wrote in her blog. “Perhaps you have managed to retain some ignorance about Alzheimer’s and other versions of dementia. Perhaps if you knew more, you would...

Bush criticises Vermont senator’s spending plans and attacks GOP rival for failing to correct a man for saying Barack Obama was ‘not even an American An energised Jeb Bush has said Bernie Sanders is the “front runner” in the Democratic presidential race as he used a Republican rally to rail against the Vermont senator’s proposals.
