President Donald Trump on Friday denied that he was briefed on his name appearing in the case files of Jeffrey Epstein, seeming contradicting a recent report in the Wall Street Journal that he was.

After Air Force One landed in Scotland today, a reporter asked Trump, “Were you briefed on your name appearing in the Epstein files ever?”

“No, I was never briefed. No,” Trump said.

On Wednesday, the Journal, quoting unnamed senior administration officials, reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy informed Trump in May that his name was in the files, along with many other high-profile figures. The story noted that earlier this month, Trump also had denied being informed of his name being in the files. The White House’s communications director, Steven Cheung, told the Journal that the story was “fake news.”

The Justice Department announced this month that its review of the Epstein case was ending,...

It’s about damn time—Happy Gilmore 2 is knocking at our doors, with its release date scheduled for tomorrow, July 25, 2025, on Netflix. And guess what? Fans of the original 1996 comedy are beyond excited. After all, Adam Sandler is returning as the hilarious and hot-headed golfer, Happy Gilmore.

Meanwhile, apart from Sandler’s titular role, the sequel is also bringing back some familiar faces like Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as the always-annoying Shooter McGavin. And this time, the story will follow an older Happy Gilmore trying to re-earn his respect in golf history.

Now, while the story promises to be full of laughs and nostalgia, we’re sorry to inform you that not everyone from the original movie will be coming back. Some beloved characters won’t return, either because the actors have sadly passed away or have simply stepped away from acting.

From Chubbs Peterson to Grandma Gilmore,...

As allegations over Donald Trump’s relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein escalate, the latest report claims that the president’s name appears in a list of contributors for a 50th birthday book to Epstein, and that in another book, a copy of Trump: The Art of the Comeback, Trump left Epstein a flattering note.

The New York Times today alleged that among a list of Epstein associates asked to contribute birthday messages to the book, Trump’s name appeared among the likes of billionaire Leslie H. Wexner and Alan C. Greenberg,...

Now this is one position that she certainly would never want to be in. Of course, we are talking about Meghan Markle and there’s heavy speculation suggesting she is most likely laughing in Kate Middleton’s face behind closed doors.

That’s because the future queen of England and her husband, Prince William, are preparing to greet and host Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, during their upcoming state visit to the UK.

And if there’s one person who would never want to speak to the president of the United States, let alone be in the same room as him, it would be Meghan Markle.

That’s why she’s so relieved that she’s no longer part of the royal family just so she doesn’t have to make these kinds of public appearances or attend royal...

Stephen Colbert was gleeful as he discussed the revelation that Donald Trump was reportedly named in the Jeffrey Epstein files on The Late Show. During his monologue, the host commented on a report in The Wall Street Journal that alleged Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump his name was among many high-profile figures mentioned in the files during a meeting at the White House earlier this year.

Stephen Colbert was extra cheerful on Wednesday night’s episode of The Late Show because he learned President Donald Trump was reportedly named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

During his opening monologue, the host brought up the Wall Street Journal‘s latest report, which alleges that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump his name was among many high-profile figures mentioned in the files of Epstein’s sex-trafficking investigation before the Justice Department announced it would not be releasing the files publicly earlier this month.

“There’s been a lot of smoking guns in this case, but shortly before we taped this show, we got the smokiest yet — because the Wall Street Journal is now reporting that back in May, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed the president that his name was in the Epstein files,” Colbert said, before jokingly acting surprised by the revelation. “What! ‘But he said he hardly knew the guy!

The opera house at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts may soon bear a new name: the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.” The Hill reports that House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee voted 33-25 on Tuesday to approve an amendment to the annual spending bill for interior, environment, and related agencies that would rename the venue in honor of the former first lady. The amendment is part of a broader package of proposals included in the fiscal legislation. This move comes several months after President Donald Trump reshaped the Kennedy Center’s board and appointed himself as chair, a break from tradition that drew criticism at the time. Trump accused the institution of being too “woke.” Both Donald and Melania Trump <a...

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, is in the middle of a flame war with American late-night TV comedians.

Trump on Tuesday reiterated his claim, without evidence, that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is the “Next to go in the untalented Late night Sweepstakes,” in a post on Truth Social.

The president’s latest comment follows CBS’s unexpected decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” last week. In response to Colbert’s show being axed, Trump wrote, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

Colbert on Monday shot back at Trump’s celebration of “The Late Show” ending, telling the president in the show’s opening monologue, “Go fuck yourself.” (CBS bleeped out the f-word.)

On Tuesday, Trump ignored Colbert’s jab but took another swipe...

Given Donald Trump’s apparent propensity to mention the existence of secrets, as shown in the letter from the president to Jeffrey Epstein revealed by the Wall Street Journal, Seth Meyers is pretty sure the late convicted sex offender probably regretted telling Trump anything at all.

The NBC host focused on the letter, which Trump reportedly sent Epstein for his 50th birthday, and its fallout for his “A Closer Look” segment on Monday. The letter concludes, “Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret,” and Meyers couldn’t help but imagine how a conversation between Trump and Epstein would go similarly.

“Man, how fast did Epstein regret telling Trump anything? ‘All right, Donald, I’ll see you around,'” Meyers imitated. “‘Ok Jeffrey, and good luck with that big secret you’re keeping, pretty wild stuff.’ ‘Hey, man, shut the f–k up!'”

Updated: Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to sue Rupert Murdoch and his media companies over the Wall Street Journal‘s report on a bawdy letter in his name that was included in an album given to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.

A defamation lawsuit (read it here) was filed in a Florida federal court Friday seeing damages “not less than $10 billion” and a jury trial. It names Murdoch, Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and its CEO Robert Thomson and the reporters on the story, Khadeeja Safdar and Joseph Palazzolo.

Trump confirmed the filing in a Truth Social post, writing in part, “This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, Me, but also in order to continue standing up for All Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media.”

He added, “I hope...

Following The Wall Street Journal‘s bombshell report on a birthday letter Donald Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein, the president sued the newspaper’s parent company, News Corp., Dow Jones (its publisher), two reporters for the Journal, and billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who owns News Corp. owner.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Southern District of Florida on Friday and obtained by Rolling Stone, Trump is seeking at least $10 billion in damages and accused the Journal of “knowingly and recklessly published the numerous false, defamatory, and disparaging statements” in their report.

Donald Trump is taking aim at the Wall Street Journal and his one-time friend Rupert Murdoch.

The President of the United States just filed a defamation lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters over a recent report that alleged Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday letter containing “bawdy” content back in 2003.

Trump claims that the alleged birthday letter is fake.

“This is not me. This is a fake thing,” the president said in response to the reported letter.

The Wall Street Journal‘s story claims that the letter was included in a birthday album that also featured contributions from people like attorney Alan Dershowitz and former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner.

President Trump has sued the Wall Street Journal owner News Corp. for defamation over a report detailing a 2003 letter from him to Jeffrey Epstein in which he wrote that they share a “wonderful secret.”

With the lawsuit, filed on Friday in Florida federal court, the Journal becomes the latest media outlet targeted by Trump for adversarial reporting, joining ABC News and CBS News. It sets the stage for another legal battle in which media’s incentives to stay out of Trump’s crosshairs by settling will be questioned, this time featuring Journal parent News Corp., owned by close Trump ally Rupert Murdoch, who’s personally named in the complaint.

“I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his ‘pile of garbage’ newspaper, the WSJ,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday. Earlier, he said he told the media tycoon “it was a Scam,...

In light of the simultaneously shocking yet expected news that CBS had cancelled The Late Show, it seems likely that some viewers who hadn’t watched the show in a while might tune in to see the beginning of the end that was Thursday night’s episode.

I certainly did, and was rewarded with Colbert’s elegant announcement about the show’s fate, followed by a monologue full of solid jokes about a reliable target: Donald Trump. The amateurish job someone made of the president’s hand makeup; the ongoing rage about a perceived cover-up of the investigation into alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein; Trump’s casual slander of a Fed chair he seems to have forgotten he appointed; his seemingly unfounded announcement that Coke is about to switch out high-fructose corn syrup for cane sugar: all came in for critiques by Colbert in the first several minutes of the show.

The excitement builds for the upcoming episode of “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+” titled “Goofy Pizza.” This fifth episode of the season will air on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 10:00 Am on Disney. Fans of Mickey and his friends can look forward to a fun-filled adventure that revolves around everyone’s favorite treat: pizza.

In this episode, Goofy finds himself with a big craving for pizza. However, there’s a problem—the fridge is missing all the essential ingredients needed to make it! This sets the stage for Mickey and his pals to spring into action. With their trusty Mouseketools in hand, they embark on a quest to gather everything needed to whip up a delicious pizza.

As they navigate through various challenges and obstacles, viewers will see teamwork and creativity shine. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy will all play their parts in this tasty adventure, making it a delightful watch for kids and families alike.

Updated, with additional Trump comment: Donald Trump said that he planned to sue Rupert Murdoch’s “ass off” after The Wall Street Journal published a story about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Journal reported earlier on Thursday on a birthday album that was given to Epstein in 2003, featured collected letters from some of his friends. Among the letters was one bearing Trump’s name that “contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker,” the Journal reported, adding that a “pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.”

Informed of the letter, Trump denied writing it, and told the Journal that he would sue them if they went forward with the story.

On Truth Social,...

Donald Trump wrote a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s in which the future president, addressing the future convicted sex offender, noted that “we have certain things in common.” The existence of the letter was reported today by The Wall Street Journal, which obtained documents pertaining to a 2003 album put together for Epstein’s 50th birthday by his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, also now a convicted sex offender.

The Journal notes that the letter bearing Trump’s name was outlined by a drawing of a naked woman, and...

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres spoke up to support comedian Rosie O’Donnell following President Donald Trump’s threat to revoke her U.S. citizenship.

O’Donnell has long been a vocal critic of Trump and moved to Ireland to escape his second term. On Saturday, Trump posted to TruthSocial, declaring O’Donnell to be a “threat to humanity,” claiming that he was giving “serious consideration to taking away her citizenship.”

O’Donnell fired back on Instagram with a vicious poem mourning the state of the country and branding Trump “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.”

DeGeneres, who also moved out of the country in response to the new president, showed her support for O’Donnell on Instagram with screenshots of Trump and O’Donnell’s exchange, captioning the post, “good for you @rosie.”

Legal experts say Trump has no constitutional authority to revoke an individual’s citizenship.

Rosie O’Donnell issued a scathing takedown of Donald Trump‘s threat to revoke her citizenship — and she didn’t mince words with her bold message. On July 12, the president of the United States of America, 79, took to Truth Social with a message about the former The Rosie O’Donnell Show host. “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote, per the Daily Mail. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. God Bless America!” Later that day, O’Donnell, 63, who moved to Ireland in 2024 before Trump took office, posted a direct reply to the Potus. “Hey Donald — you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,” she wrote on Instagram alongside...

Donald Trump is going after his longtime enemy Rosie O’Donnell.

In a post shared on Truth Social on Saturday (July 12), the 79-year-old President threatened to revoke the 63-year-old comedian’s citizenship. While Rosie was born in America, she moved to Ireland after Trump became president again.

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. God Bless America!”

Keep reading to find out more…Following Trump‘s post, Rosie took to Instagram to react while sharing a photo of Trump posing with the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Hey Donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,” Rosie began.

In an early morning post to Truth Social on Saturday, President Donald Trump threatened to revoke the American citizenship of his longtime critic Rosie O’Donnell.

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. God Bless America!”

O’Donnell took to Instagram hours later to issue a response.

She wrote, “The president of the usa has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is – a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself – this is why i moved to ireland – he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity- i stand in direct opposition...

Updated: Donald Trump posted on Saturday that he is giving “serious consideration” to revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.

She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. God Bless America!”

The president cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S., something that legal scholars have long noted. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.

Erin Patterson, the Australian woman accused of murder and attempted murder of her estranged husband’s relatives with poisonous mushrooms in July 2023, has been found guilty.

The trial lasted 10 weeks and featured over 50 witnesses. Patterson, 50, faces life in prison.

That summer, in the small town of Leongatha, roughly 85 miles from Melbourne, Patterson hosted her husband Simon’s parents, Gail and Donald Patterson, his aunt Heather Wilkinson and her husband Ian Wilkerson for a so-called “special” lunch. For the event, Patterson prepared and served a beef Wellington containing a paste made of finely chopped death cap mushrooms – one of the deadliest mushrooms in the world.

The Amanita mushroom poisoning caused several instances of organ failure in each individual, and all four of the lunch guests were hospitalized the next day, with three of them soon dying. Ian, the sole survivor, recovered after weeks in the ICU and went on to testify in Patterson’s trial.

Lena Dunham is looking back on claims of a lack of diversity in her iconic series “Girls.” Dunham created, produced, wrote, and starred in the HBO show, which aired from 2012 to 2017. Almost a decade after wrapping, the showrunner is reflecting on how the series was critically received at the time.

“I think one of the profound issues around ‘Girls’ was that there was so little real estate for women in television,” Dunham told The Independent, “[so] that if you had a show called ‘Girls,’ which is such a monolithic name, it sounds like it’s describing all the girls in all the places. And so if it’s not reflecting a multitude of experiences, I understand how that would be really disappointing to people.”

Violet McGraw "became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN".The 14-year-old actress didn’t really know what AI was until she filmed 2022's M3GAN, and Violet admits that starring in the movie franchise has made her more cautious of the technology.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Violet shared: "I became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN. It scares me a little bit, and I never would’ve thought of it that way if I wasn’t in M3GAN."Violet plays the part of Cady, who is sent to live with her aunt Gemma, a roboticist, in the horror franchise. And the actress admits that she developed an affinity with M3GAN, the child-sized humanoid robot doll that's powered by AI, during filming.Violet said: "I love M3GAN so much. If there was a M3GAN in real life, which probably should never happen, I would totally be best friends with her.

The impeccably dressed and choreographed murderbot is back two years after going viral over dance moves in the sequel M3GAN 2.0, and, in true diva fashion, the killer AI isn’t interested in repeating herself. Returning director Gerard Johnstone, who also wrote the script based on story conceived with original screenwriter Akela Cooper, picks up from a tiny plot seed planted in M3GAN, in which a CEO’s assistant stole Gemma’s secrets for profit, to provide new genre slaying grounds for the meme sensation. That lets this sequel double down on what worked, namely its instantly iconic title character and camp humor.

Since the events of the previous film, M3GAN’s creator, Gemma (Allison Williams), has become an author and advocate for AI oversight in atonement for unleashing tech responsible for multiple deaths. Her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now a rebellious teen, struggles both against her guardian’s overprotective...

Let’s get this out of the way: M3GAN 2.0 isn’t remotely a horror film. It’s a sequel of a different flavor, like Happy Death Day 2U or Evil Dead II. Or swapping Windows for Apple. Writer and director Gerard Johnstone and co-writer Akela Cooper reimagine M3GAN 2.0 as an off-the-wall action comedy with artificial intelligence as a topic of controversy. That’s not necessarily a terrible thing, pivoting into 90s-era campy spy games … unless you were hoping for a M3GAN continuation in the same tone, tempo, and genre.

Most surviving players return for M3GAN 2.0, including leads Allison Williams and Violet McGraw. We reunite with Gemma (Williams) as an author and advocate for AI regulation, while Cady (McGraw) wants to follow in her aunt’s computer science footsteps, tinkering with code strings when she’s not practicing martial arts thanks to an affinity for Steven Seagal classics.

The Apprentice is easily one of the riskiest and probably career-ending movies in Hollywood. Showcasing the story of a young Donald Trump, The Apprentice follows the story of Trump finding a willingness to win and to do whatever it takes to stay victorious.

However, veteran director Clint Eastwood wasn’t a big fan of the project since, although he was approached to direct the movie earlier, Eastwood allegedly chose his career’s safety over creating a good movie, and honestly, we don’t even blame him.

Clint Eastwood rejected directing the riskiest movie of 2024

Directed by Ali Abbasi, The Apprentice received average reviews and ratings, with several controversial talks about the timing of the film’s release (it was released a month before the U.S. elections).

With Sebastian Stan portraying the role of Donald Trump, the movie was very well a risky move.

So, we're getting a "Scrubs" revival. It's frustrating, because I'm a huge fan of Bill Lawrence's medical comedy that originally ran from 2001 to 2010 on NBC — and, for the last year of its existence in that form, ABC. Led by Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, the show was funny, shockingly emotional, and surprisingly medically accurate, and its main cast of characters — Donald Faison's cocksure surgeon (and J.D.'s bestie) Dr. Chris Turk, Judy Reyes' tough but big-hearted nurse Carla Espinosa, Sarah Chalke's neurotic but brilliant Dr. Elliot Reid, and the stubborn and often enraged doctor who serves as J.D.'s unwilling mentor, Dr. Perry Cox, played by John C. McGinley — are uniformly excellent.

All of this sounds like it could add up to a promising reboot of the series, but I have my doubts, and it's because of Lawrence's recent comments on the forthcoming...

Exclusive: Australian actor Rick Donald (The Office) has boarded the third and final season of ITV and RTÉ’s The Dry.

Cameras have rolled on the concluding outing for the Dublin-set dramedy, which sees

BAFTA and IFTA nominee Róisín Gallagher reprise her role as recovering alcoholic Shiv Sheridan. Last seen holding the seams of her dysfunctional family together, and leaving her ex-boyfriend to board a plane to Melbourne by himself, Shiv now meets Daryl, a handsome and mysterious Australian stranger.

Unsurprisingly, Donald will play Daryl. He is an Australian acting vet who has appeared in the likes of Home and Away, Wentworth and the recent Office: Australia.

Series 3 of The Dry sees original cast return including IFTA nominee Siobhán Cullen as Caroline, Adam Richardson as Ant, Oscar nominee Ciarán Hinds as Tom, Pom Boyd as Bernie, Moe Dunford as Jack and Eoin Duffy as Rory.

Produced by Normal People maker Element Pictures, The Dry has over the past few years been a rare gem as an ITV comedy-drama running for multiple seasons, while it has also performed well for Irish broadcaster RTÉ.

The show is created by BAFTA-nominated playwright Nancy Harris (Dates) and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Paddy Breathnach. Harris said: “It has been a true joy to see audiences embrace the Sheridan family in all their dysfunctional glory and I am so grateful to have gotten to tell this story over three seasons. The third and final season aims to go deeper than ever before, really getting under the skin of Shiv and the family in a way that we hope is both surprising, funny and (painfully) honest.”

Element Pictures produces in association with Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland and ITV Studios. The show is executive produced by Emma Norton, Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe for Element alongside Harris and Breathnach. ITV Studios handles global distribution.

Savannah Chrisley is not afraid to hit back at rumors, and she did just that on the Tuesday, June 17, episode of her Unlocked podcast. During the episode, Savannah brought up a rumor she saw on social media that bothered her enough to speak out about it. “I saw where someone commented that, you know, my family was this fraud and were terrible human beings, X, Y, Z, and how my mother faked her breast cancer diagnosis,” Savannah said. “So I was literally dumbfounded to see the accusations that were being made. Apparently, ‘She faked her breast cancer diagnosis to avoid court proceedings,’ was what this individual said.” Savannah’s mother, Julie Chrisley, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and had a double mastectomy. Ten years later, she and husband Todd Chrisley received prison sentences after being convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud. They began serving their time in January...

There’s some terrific news circulating out there for those living with high expectations and anticipation of the hopeful Scrubs reboot. According to TV Line, the project’s executive producer, Bill Lawrence, who created the original series, plans to focus the follow-up on everyone’s favorite hospital buddies — Zach Braff’s Jd and Donald Faison’s Turk. His comments come after addressing the ninth season of the series that started it all, which only included a handful of original cast members, introducing plenty of new faces to the medical team.

Speaking about the pushback all those involved with the show’s final season received and explaining how it informed their decisions when looking forward to the next installment, Lawrence said,

“I hate the narrative, like, ‘Oh, the ninth year sucked.’ No, it didn’t. It’s sour grapes, whatever, I’m so lucky to have done it. I didn’t...

While ABC’s in-the-works Scrubs revival will feature characters both old and new, unlike Season 9, which saw Dr. John Dorian pass the proverbial torch to a new protagonist — Kerry Bishé’s Lucy Bennett — a hypothetical 10th season will be told exclusively from Vanilla Bear’s perspective.

Series mastermind Bill Lawrence revealed as much to me during a recent Zoom, where he reflected on the sitcom’s divisive ninth season and confirmed that the revival is very much about Jd and Bff Turk.

In order to get the perfect shot in a movie, that sometimes means waking up at dawn, or worse, before dawn. The cast in the scene, the crew involved to prep, the director, everyone up when the last thing people are thinking of is being conscious. In the 2005 adaptation of the Jane Austen novel, Pride & Prejudice, one of the most iconic scenes was filmed at, you guessed it, the crack of dawn. It's the scene where Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) confesses his love to Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) as the morning sun rises. Macfadyen's Darcy utters the swoon-worthy iconic words, "You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you."

Despite the intimacy of the one-on-one scene between Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy, in actuality, in addition to of course, the crew, Knightley and Macfadyen weren't as long as the scene would suggest. In a recent Variety's Actors on Actors,...

For the last two decades, Survivor has tested the strength, wit, and social game of hundreds of players. But there’s one famous name Jeff Probst believes wouldn’t stand a chance. That’s right – he added in an interview that if Donald Trump ever stepped foot onto the island, he’d be voted out in no time. Why? Because the former president of America talks way too much.

Yes, according to Probst, the game isn’t built for someone who constantly needs to be the center of attention. And as per the longtime host of the show, Trump’s need to dominate every conversation would make him an early target, long before the merge. Let’s dive deeper!

Jeff Probst reveals why Donald Trump would never survive on Survivor

For over 20 years, Survivor has thrown some of the toughest challenges at people from all walks of life. That’s...

"Community" is a show with a lot of moving parts. The Greendale Seven each bring their own element of cute and cuddly chaos to the table — or more accurately, the four-part desk clump in the Greendale study room. If there's one part of the show that you could say was the heart and soul of NBC's classic comedy, it has to be Troy and Abed. The lovable duo are attached at the hip before season 1 is over, and they remain inseparable for the duration of the show — that is, until they are ruthlessly torn asunder in the dramatic season 5 episode "Geothermal Escapism" (which also happens to be one of the show's best themed installments).

In the previous episode ("Cooperative Polygraphy"), Troy becomes the recipient of the deceased Pierce Hawthorne's multi-million-dollar fortune. However, as part of the agreement, he has to sail Pierce's boat, "The Childish Tycoon," around the world on his own.

Keira Knightley and Rosamund Pike sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss the 20th anniversary of the beloved adaptation of “Pride & Prejudice,” which has become the definitive version of the oft-filmed story for many a Jane Austen fan. Knightley and Pike played sisters Elizabeth and Jane Bennett, with their cinematic patriarch portrayed by the legendary Donald Sutherland.

“I have to say, most actors have been a disappointment since then,” said Knightley, who was just 19 when she starred in the film. The actress netted her first Oscar nomination for her work.

“Donald was pretty legendary,” Pike added. “We did have dinners with him sometimes, and he told us some pretty wild stories which cannot be shared.”

Sutherland, Knightley noted, was vehemently anti-smoking, a quality his castmates did note share.

“There was the party that Donald Sutherland came to. You weren’t allowed to smoke. He had it in his contract...

Success can be a double-edged sword. While every filmmaker would like their first movie to be a breakout success, those kinds of hits build expectation for their second feature, and not every director can navigate the artistic and industrial labyrinth that it takes to produce another instant classic.

Indeed, the perfect one-two punch is rarely achieved. Many of the best directors don’t start out with one of their finest or most successful films, those that do can’t always parlay that into a second success.

But some filmmakers have managed to immediately capitalize on all that good will, directing a second great movie after their debut wins the hearts of critics and/or audiences. With “Past Lives” filmmaker Celine Song’s second film “Materialists” now in theaters, we’re pretty danged sure these are the best.

Fortnite has always been the epitome of implementing numerous crossovers over the years. Think of any major IP in the current scene, be it Marvel, John Wick, or Uncharted. You name it, Epic eventually teamed up with each one of them and introduced skins and unique game modes related to it. You might think Epic must’ve planned this strategic path since the beginning of their journey. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Epic’s previous chief creative officer, Donald Mustad, was initially resistant to this idea of collaboration, which means adding non-Fortnite characters in-game. The bosses were happy with their exponential growth in the gaming market. That’s when the Russo brothers kicked in and changed the whole scene by spending almost six hours on a phone call.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were met with a “mixed” reaction as they walked into Washington’s Kennedy Center on Wednesday for the opening night of Les Misérables. Footage shows the couple waving at the crowd from the presidential box, as fellow attendees welcomed them with a mix of cheers and boos, before a chant of “USA” broke out. “President Trump and the first lady take their seats at the Kennedy Center. Reception: mixed,” the source wrote. Vice President Jd Vance, who was booed when he attended a performance from the National Symphony Orchestra at the D.C. venue in March, also attended Wednesday’s showing.

Tina Dawn’s sitting in her Nashville home introducing her chatty red rescue parrot, Scarlet, to The Hollywood Reporter over Zoom — one of hundreds of animal and avian friends she has helped save. Meanwhile, Shannon Beresford’s just wrapped a nine-date New Zealand tour, Charity Eden’s been performing her catchy bop “Anxious Attachment” around America, and Sarah Jessica Rhodes helped save the Rusk, Texas, theater that sparked her love for performing.

The common thread? The musicians all credit becoming Taylor Swift tribute artists for such achievements. And they’re not alone. Dawn, Beresford, Eden and Rhodes are among a growing number of tribute acts utilizing their resemblance, talent or fandom to make a living, advance their careers, give back and save lives.

And the performers all share one mutual motivating factor — making a version of Swift’s $2 billion Eras Tour accessible to the hordes of Swifties who couldn’t afford or score tickets.
