She’s being sexy and seductive and playful! And looks amazing.

I want to know the people who have been posting here since the beginning. I've been on and off Datalounge for years when I worked in the business and now when I (happily do not) but oh do I have a stories.

But I was just thinking, are the original 20- 30 something Dataloungers now 50's and 60's dudes? I'm in my 40's.

CURIOUS. Of course, I'm just waiting for the rude responses but if you are one of the originals make yourselves known men.

…but I did not shoot the refugees.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen on a second Signal group chat, this one on his personal phone and including his wife, lawyer and brother, three people familiar with the chat told CNN.

The chat was set up during Hegseth’s tumultuous confirmation hearing process as a way for his closest allies to strategize, two of the people familiar with the matter said. But Hegseth continued using the chat, which had more than a dozen people in it, to communicate after he was confirmed, the people said.

For she simply getting her own show. Why couldn’t he forgive. Something else had to be going on here.

A topic well worth continuing. Here's one for Sunday:

DL catnip if ever there was.

Fresh off S1 after Teri’s Golden Globe win, Vanity Fair swooped in the ladies for this iconic front-page photoshoot, and the article in the post above is basically all the drama that happened behind the scenes. Apparently Eva and Marcia weren’t exactly thrilled with Teri getting all the spotlight, awards and the higher paycheck, so they tried to pull some strings behind the scenes to delay her wardrobe access and preventing her to stand in the center of the photo which creators usually did in promos. But when none of it worked, apparently there was huge drama with them cussing their assistants and storming off the set. And even though they rearranged the line up with moving Teri on the left, VF was not having it, so by the end they got so done that they released a folded cover. Marcia and Felicity’s photos tucked inside, while Teri, Nicolette, and Eva got the front cover, with Teri still in the center.! Over the years people also dragged Teri for being the odd one out, with PR releasing negative stories about her.. but any credible stuff or interviews people have always spoke positively of her! So, really we can all speculate, but who knows for sure!

This article was supposed to be about the show and its massive success, but ended up becoming about all the behind the scenes drama between the women. My goodness, what a shitshow.

PS I know they say Teri was the monster but Marcia and Eva come off as the problem here, angry and jealous that Teri is treated as the biggest star on the show and getting first dibs and the biggest paycheck.

6-3. No surprise. One thing the rethug judges agree on is taking away LBGTQ rights. They will do the same thing when marriage equality is on the docket again. Red state gays better make some plans for when this happens.

Has Uncle Frankie's tastes evolved from hairy twinks to ex-jock daddies in the off season?

First Chris McKenna, then a fluffy Daniel Cosgrove, and now Daniel Goddard, who seems to be a branch off the old James Patrick Stuart/Will de Vry tree.

Who else will Frank bring on, while ignoring the rest of the existing cast?

And someone please get Jonathan Jackson near a fire hydrant. We're hosing that fucker down before he's allowed back on set.

Which generation do you hold most responsible for inflicting the most damage on this once great country of ours, and why?

Are they specifically into that or are they unable to get a real woman? Or maybe a little of both?

But I specifically want to skip those first few seasons before her arrival. Will I still truly get the heart of the show and appreciate the characters if I do. Kindly seeking your expertise and fine taste.

Did anyone see this film?

It was very, very disturbing and bleak. It had a Taxi Driver element to it.

I am unsure if this film could have had any Oscar consideration due to all the claims againt Jonathan Majors-

However, if this guy had not been revealed to be an abuser- I suspect he would have had a chance for Best Actor-

It was a completely committed performance and insanely hardcore. I suspect whatever -issues- this gentleman may or may not carry around was utilized in this role.

It was an extremely good performance and a film I would never want to watch again.

I supposed there is a -bare- glimmer of hope there, but this character never had much of a future.

Said Mayor Goode: “💣 🏠 🔥 ☠️”

What was supposed to be a joyful night of queer celebration turned into a moment of surreal disruption on Friday when P Town Bar, a beloved LGBTQ establishment in Pittsburgh, was “raided” by approximately 20 Pennsylvania State Police officers and undercover agents during a drag event hosted by local drag icon Indica and featuring legendary guest Amanda Lepore.

The event, Another Party Pittsburgh, had just hit its stride when the police entered around 11:30 PM, mid-performance, as drag artist Blade Matthews took the stage. And not just with any number: Blade was in the middle of a theatrical rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. With the room captivated and the song in full swing, law enforcement had to stand back and wait.

“Blade literally chose the longest song ever and made the cops wait,” said one attendee. “It was iconic.”

Chrissy Metz has a new look!

The actress, 44, showed off her slimmer figure in a colorful, ruffle-trimmed dress at Variety’s Power of Women event on May 1 in Nashville, after previously revealing her 100-lb. weight loss.

Her pastel pink, blue and yellow short-sleeve dress hit right below the knee, and also featured a ruffled V-neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves, and paired the look with white cowboy boots and a layered pearl and silver chain necklace.

And now it’s…

Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel's operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

The new plan, which the officials said was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza, also would push hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, what would likely exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.

Roman Catholic cardinals will begin their secret conclave to elect the new leader of the global Church on May 7, the Vatican said on Monday, confirming what a source had previously told Reuters.

The date was decided during a closed-door meeting of cardinals at the Vatican, the first since the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday.

Some 135 cardinals, all under the age of 80 and from all corners of the world, are eligible to take part in the vote for the next head of the 1.4-billion-member Church, which is beset by concerns over its finances and divisions over doctrine.

Omg. Today is the day we get to see celebs and fashionistas wear expensive and amazing clothing and wow the world!!!

I hope Zendaya is there to slay us away again.

Wearing a "spring-ready frock" and white cowboy boots, she's still banging on about how "strength training" has helped her to lose all the weight.

Maybe mid 40s is just too old to understand it, I don’t know. But it just doesn’t make any logical sense to me. At least the concept of transgender makes sense. “I was born male with a penis but I wish I had been female with a vagina,” or vice versa. But I can’t grasp the concept of nonbinary identity. “I am biologically male or biologically female, but I don’t feel like either and I don’t want to be either I’m nothing.” if a male who identifies as nonbinary jerks his penis off while he’s masturbating, doesn’t that make him a man? And if he’s wearing a bra and a pair of panties while doing it, doesn’t that make him a transvestite?

I had a muscular guy say I was SEXY. He returned later and again called me SEXY- and bit later this slim guy said my penis was beautiful.

I cannot complain it was a good night overall but nevertheless I bothered by the fact that some guys walked by my room and did not seem to notice me- also an attractive Latino lingered and rubbed outside my room but I got shy so he moved on- oh well.

A video of a Rochester, Minnesota, mom appearing to hurl a racist slur at a Black child on a city playground earlier this week has been circulating widely across social media, garnering criticism from many viewers and a half-million dollars in donations from others.

The online donations poured in alongside notes expressing far-right and racist sympathies, prompting a decision to mute comments by the Christian crowdfunding service hosting the campaign, which has been used to raise money for Daniel Penny, Luigi Mangione and Kyle Rittenhouse. The woman’s fundraiser prompted the local NAACP chapter in Rochester to start its own crowdfunding campaign for the family of the 5-year-old, who the group said had been called the n-word multiple times. The NAACP chapter had raised more than $320,000 by Saturday afternoon. “Shockingly, the woman responsible for this hateful act has launched a fundraising campaign for herself,” the Rochester NAACP said. “... Many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate. We’ve been asked by countless community members how they can help. This campaign is our answer.”

“The Last of Us” is based on the hit video game of the same name created by Neil Druckmann and developed by Naughty Dog. The official description states “the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.”

Season 1 of the series was written and executive produced by Craig Mazin and Druckmann. Both have also directed episodes of the show. Carolyn Strauss and Evan Wells, president of Naughty Dog, executive produce along with PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan as well as Rose Lam. The series is a co-production between HBO and Sony Pictures Television. PlayStation Productions, Word Games, The Mighty Mint, and Naughty Dog produce.

The cast for Season 1 also included Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, Storm Reid, Merle Dandridge, Jeffrey Pierce, Lamar Johnson, Keivonn Woodard, Graham Greene, Elaine Miles, Ashley Johnson, and Troy Baker.

“The Last of Us” proved to be a massive hit with both critics and audiences. In addition to stellar viewership, the show received multiple awards nominations for its first season. It received three Golden Globe nominations as well as 25 Emmy nominations. The show won eight Emmys at the Creative Arts Emmys. That includes wins for both Offerman and Reid for best guest actor and actress in a drama series respectively.

The Duke of Sussex had appeared in court last month to appeal the decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded security arrangements while in Britain, describing the country as “central to the heritage” of his children.

On Friday, the Duke lost his appeal challenging the decision. High court judge Geoffrey Vos said the arguments put forward on behalf of Harry were “powerful” and said it was “plain” he had felt “badly treated” by the system. But, he added, there was no legal basis to challenge Ravec’s decision.

“The conclusion in my judgement… was that the Duke of Sussex’s appeal would be dismissed.”

[quote] “So I called my agent and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, ‘We don’t want him.’ And [my agent] said, ‘Well, he’s done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi. The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you’re going to separate them?’ And they said yes,” Gunn said.

[quote] Gunn mentioned that his agent was contacted about having the fashion consultant make “a small cameo in one episode,” adding, “What do I do? Wave from a bus? As the designers are going into Mood [Fabrics]? Heidi comes to see me at the retirement home and we play croquet? So no thank you. And as Heidi would say, you’re either in or you’re out. And I’m out. So I wasn’t asked to join.”

[quote] Gunn noted that he was initially “devastated, then kind of humiliated” about not being asked back, adding, “I thought, how lucky am I to have had the experiences that I’ve had over the last 20 years? This is phenomenal. I stopped the boohooing. I thought, it’s really throwing hubris in the face of an angry God to mourn not being on this new show. So I’ve come to terms with it.”

Personal antics aside - What do you think of her as an actress?

I recently watched some of her TV movies from the 80's on Youtube and I was honestly blown away by how good she was. And versatile. She was haunting in Lost Honor of Kathryn Beck, and heartbreaking playing a mother coming to terms with her son being gay in Consenting Adults.

Plus I will always give her credit for being pro gay at a time when very few were.

Supposedly Mike Nichols wanted to remake Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for HBO in the 90's with Marlo as Martha because he was so impressed with her in the roll when she did it on Broadway in the early 90's. I don't think she won a Tony for it though. She might have been nominated.

I actually don't mind a guy with atittude IF he's in a position to have an attitude. If he's very good looking/hot. For someone reason it makes a hot guy even hotter ( sometimes), however most of the times I've experienced attitude is from guys who were totally average looking and NOT in a position to have an attitude. I was once have sex with a guy who was good looking- dirty blond hair, slim , straight looking and sounding and a bottom. I was fucking him ( with a condom) and all of a sudden he says - I LIKE IT RAW! We stop having sex and he leaves- talk about rude! He was about 30 years old plus or minus 2 years. He was a bottom but really good looking so he was certainly in a position to have an attitude.

German lawmakers are set to vote on the next chancellor again on Tuesday afternoon, hours after conservative leader Friedrich Merz failed to win the first round in parliament in a historic defeat.

Merz, the conservative leader, had been expected to smoothly win the vote to become Germany’s 10th chancellor since World War II. A candidate for chancellor has never failed to win on the first ballot in post-war Germany.

Merz needed a majority of 316 out of 630 votes in a secret ballot but only got 310 votes in the first round of voting — six votes short of the 328 seats held by his coalition, which is also one of the slimmest postwar majorities.

It had been sitting on my shelf for two decades without my opening it. Suddenly I got the urge.

First I was WAY handsomer than I ever thought at the time. Reading my classmates’ notes to me brought back so many nostalgic feelings. High school was a fun and cool time. I suddenly became popular when, in the summer after 10th grade, I got contact lenses, a short, neat haircut, and shaved my scraggly mustache. No one recognized me when I started 11th grade, and, after that, I got noticed and became popular. I went from perceived weirdo to center of attention, and I blossomed. I made so many friends because I was friendly—and as weird as that sounds—kids not in the central groups loved me because I acknowledged them. Kids who started at our high school in the middle of the four years were thankful that I served as a bridge to the rest of the students. I had honestly forgotten all of this until reading the yearbook notes. I wasn’t out, of course, and that was the invisible barrier between me and everyone else. I’ve only stayed in touch with two of my high school friends—and just barely, losing touch as time marches on. I’m on a Facebook page with my classmates, and it’s sad to see some dying. What’s worse is I don’t remember many of them!

I googled the guys who were considered the dreamiest in high school. Yikes! Time can be cruel, especially to straight men. Thankfully I still look 20!

“So I came in as an ‘affirmative action kid.’ Sort of feeling like maybe I don't belong in these ivory towers and maybe these kids coming from these other schools are really so much smarter and better than I am.”

The last thread is just about to max out.

There was a fun thread about old fashioned foods that you still like.

I've NEVER used an automated bank teller. To deposit checks and withdrawl cash I go into the bank branch and do all of my transactions using a person behind the counter. I've never done my bank transactions any other way. I pay all of my bills with checks that I send through the mail. Since we're on the subject of doing old fashioned things- I've NEVER used any of the sex apps such as Grindr, Scruff, Tinder for sex. I use an old fashioned ( not male prostitute ) bathhouse. In fact I was the queen who recently started the latest bathhouse thread. I don't own a hybrid or electric car just two regular gasoline powered cars. I still have a VCR but I have not used it in several years. I still have a Sony Wega 20 inch tube tv that I purchased in November 2000.

Ginger Rogers died on this day 30 years ago. Although I know Rogers was talented, Ginger was never a film fave of mine. Always seemed coy and artificial to me. That said, I appreciate her '30s work and a few scattered '40s performances. And after that... Here's my look at the truly bonkers "Lady in the Dark" from '44, from the stage smash. Though it made money, the reviews were lethal. Over the top in every respect, with some of the best songs cut out, and before there was Gaga's meat dress, there was Ginger's mink dress! My take here:

I've added so many songs to my Playlist, but the one that stands out is Dialogues Des Carmelites final scene, where the nuns face the guillotine. I return to it, at least once a week, and end up in tears. What has DL given to you, that you wouldn't otherwise have?

She’s young. Will she run for California Gov?

Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke was practically unrecognizable in a new video as she marked a special occasion—and some fans expressed serious concern.

"Omg! What happened to her?" one follower wondered.

"She lost way too much weight," a different Instagram user pointed out.

Yet another worried fan shared, "This is very sad. What kind of message are you sending to women and our young girls!!! Get off of the GLP. Start showing us healthy eating and working out and not this ridiculously thin anorexic look. Shameful!!!!!"

Prince William will strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles when he becomes king, after Meghan made it clear she plans to continue using the honorific, sources have told the Daily Beast.

William’s determined position makes a stark contrast to that of the king, who is understood not to have any appetite for a fight on the issue.

Meghan and Harry promised the late Queen Elizabeth they would stop using the HRH titles when they left the royal family in 2020, but Meghan has reneged on that promise.

Kanye West is claiming he and a now-incarcerated male cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were kids -- an experience he's turned into a new song, believing it contributed to both of their dark paths.

Debuting a new grungy song called "COUSINS" on Monday, Ye sings about stumbling upon adult magazines as a kid, noting the mags he found in his late mother Donda's possession were of the homosexual variety.

Ye says he eventually showed the mags to his cousin and they reenacted the male-on-male kissing scenes ... leading Ye to eventually "suck his d!ck" until the age of 14.

The accompanying visual for "COUSINS" spliced together various clips of video games and semi-pornographic images as Ye crooned about "giving his cousin head" on the chorus.

Both Ye and Kim Kardashian were scanning Ye's cousin's case during their marriage

Ye gave him a loving shout-out during a 2018 interview with Jimmy Kimmel when asked about Trump's first presidency ... "My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him."

Later in 2020, Kim K. was helping spearhead the the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and shared Ye's cousin's plight with Georgetown University professor Marc Howard ... highlighting how Ye's aunt was forced to accept the consequences from living in their downtrodden Chicago neighborhood.

Ye also says he's changing his "WW3" album title to "CUCK" .

I'm mostly curious about the Kelvin and Keef relationship - they finally stopped denying their attraction and got together last season. Hopefully those two crazy kids are still a thing.

Let’s say you’re 60. You go to your annual physical and your doctor shakes his head. He says, “you know, I see you having about five more years if you keep this up, the drinking and gourmet lifestyle.”

“If you stop eating rich food and drinking alcohol, I’d give you another 20 years, not just five. But you’ve got to go cold turkey. Vegan diet and zero alcohol.”

You get on the subway and are in deep thought about what he said. You’re 60 and really the only enjoyments you have in life (well, most daily enjoyments) are the very things he’s told you to give up.

Do you erase most of the fun from life, or do you keep living la dolce vita and die in five years?

(Don’t fight the hypo, please. It’s beyond tedious.)

Soaps.

I find Newark easy to get to - much easier than the hellscape of driving it takes to get to JFK. And LaGuardia ..... look how sad it made Eleanor Roosevelt to fly out of LGA. But fuck, what a disaster these airports are.

I know, I know. Some of the facilities have been upgraded. But that's a tiny part of a much larger pile of transportation shittiness. They're tacky, dirty, gross and unbecoming. And unbecumming (Sniffies is better in Chicago or LA airports).

Also, the staff there - what the everloving fuck. Everyone would be better served if these people just stayed home - which would clarify to passengers that they would get no help - instead of showing up and fucking off until they get their 8 hours.

The entire first season dropped today. I was looking forward to it but I’m afraid it’s sort of awful. And I liked Amy Sherman-Palladino’s other shows.

Some really bad casting in this one, especially Luke Kirby who, although easy on the eyes, wildly gesticulates and spits out his lines like he’s in a Broadway musical. Which is totally wrong to play someone who is the high powered managing director of a prestigious NYC ballet company. Charlotte Gainsbourg as his Parisian counterpart at least looks right but flails about in her scenes and looks utterly lost. Camille Cottin apparently couldn’t play the role because the strikes messed up her schedule and I suspect she would have been far better. She ended up dodging a bullet, though, so good for her. DL theatre threads favorite Robbie Fairchild is quite likeable. French actress Lou de Laâge is by far the best thing in it but her character is patently ridiculous..Everything is frenetically paced and the dialogue is stilted and self-conscious. The relentlessly smart-ass Steadicam shots may have worked on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel but they don’t work here. Mon dieu.

Anyone else watching this DOA disaster?

Okay, which one of you whores is responsible?

A legally blind TikToker has shared that he and his guide dog were kicked out of a Seattle restaurant when a staff member didn’t believe he was blind.

“I walked in with my guide dog, Mr. Maple, and immediately somebody rushed up to me and said, ‘No pets allowed, only service dogs,'” said Paul, who chronicles his adventures with his partner on the popular TikTok account MatthewandPaul, which has more than 2.1 million followers.

In his TikTok, posted yesterday, Paul said he explained, “‘It's OK, he's a service dog.’ He looked at me, he looked at Maple, he said, ‘Emotional support dog?’ ‘No, like a guide dog for the blind.’”

“I literally had this harness attached to him,” Paul continued, referring to the words “Guide Dogs for the Blind” on Mr. Maple’s harness.

“I showed this to him, I said ‘I'm blind.’”

“He said, ‘You don't look blind,’ and I said, ‘A lot of people in the blind community still have some functional vision.’”

As Paul has previously explained in another TikTok, he has Retinitis pigmentosa, which the National Eye Institute says causes the “cells in the retina break down slowly over time, causing vision loss.”

He can see a small tunnel of vision, surrounded by “moving light, popping random colors, almost like fireworks.”

Paul shared that he tried to explain this at the restaurant.

“He said, ‘You're looking right at me.’ I said, ‘Yes, but it's like I have a pinhole of vision — that's all I can see.’

"He said, ‘Listen, this isn't my first rodeo’ — he literally said that — he said, ‘This isn't my first rodeo.’”

“What is going on out there that would lead this man to believe that I was lying?”

Paul continued, ‘’He said, ‘Do you see any other dogs in this restaurant?’ I said, ‘Honestly, no. I'm blind. There could be.’”

When Paul offered to come back with his dog’s paperwork, he says he was told, “If you step foot back in this restaurant with that dog I will call the police.”

“I'm speechless,” he concluded his video, which at press time had 5.1 million views.

Zoë Kravitz and Noah Centineo attempted to stay under the radar while enjoying a romantic brunch in Brooklyn on Sunday, a spy tells Page Six exclusively.

The new couple was spotted dining at an intimate corner table at the trendy restaurant Chez Ma Tante in Greenpoint around 2 p.m. “I don’t think they were showing too much PDA,” the source tells us, adding that the duo “just tried to blend in and have a normal brunch.”

“They sat in the corner eating pancakes and sausage,” the spy says, adding that Kravitz and Centineo looked like the “coolest couple ever.”

The Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell more than 20 feet onto the field at PNC Park has been identified as Kavan Markwood, a 20-year-old former college football player.

Markwood was at the center of a haunting scene Wednesday in the seventh inning of the Pirates' game against the Chicago Cubs after he tumbled over a railing in right field, flipped multiple times and landed on the warning track. He was motionless and shirtless as EMS and the teams' trainers attended to him, and was eventually taken off the field on a stretcher.

Witnesses said he had been excited about the Pirates' rally and had taken his shirt off and poured beer on himself before his fall. It is unclear how he procured a beer at 20 years old.

Susan and Adam Withers' two dogs, Apollo and Echo, got out of their condo through a front door with a broken latch and violently attacked their 73-year-old neighbor, Jo Ann Echelbarger.

In February, a Pickaway County jury convicted them of felony involuntary manslaughter and violations of the state's dog laws. The Witherses were sentenced to 14 to 19½ years in prison and can apply for judicial release after a decade.

"I wish I could give you more," Pickaway County Common Pleas Court Judge Matthew Chafin told them. Chafin recommended that they never be allowed to own pets when they get out.

When Harry and Meghan proposed to the late Queen Elizabeth that they live abroad while still supporting the monarchy, they believed they had found the ideal solution to a difficult chapter — one that would bring them happiness, leave the royal family at peace and allow their public work to continue. “We were trying to create this happy house,” Harry tells PEOPLE.

When Harry departed the Sandringham Summit in January 2020, he did so with the understanding that his security would remain in place. Court documents revealed that, in letters from the Queen herself, she expressed support for Harry and Meghan’s need for “effective security.” Yet, just one month later, the government committee responsible for state-funded security, RAVEC, informed them that this would no longer be the case.

Come & See follows a young Belarusian boy who joins the resistance during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. As he witnesses the unimaginable brutality of war, the film descends into a surreal, nightmarish portrayal of human suffering and loss of innocence.

Renowned for its visceral cinematography and unflinching realism, Come & See is one of the most harrowing films ever made.

To be honest, I like her takes on trans issues because I think in that arena she’s much more rational than more left-leaning trans people.

but on everything else, she seems to be a complete nut job. in this video, she gives her opinions on Trump‘s second term. In the part where she goes into what she thinks Trump is doing wrong, oh boy. I would’ve thought that she would’ve been upset by the tariffs, or by deportation of US citizens. Nope! She’s upset about the missing Jeffrey Epstein files.

Whether your New Year's resolution is to finally book a dream vacation or put some points to good use and fly to a new destination, there are some travel requirements taking effect in 2025 that everyone should keep in mind.

[bold]REAL ID[/bold]

Americans should make sure their identification is up to date sooner than later this winter, because starting May 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will enforce the use of REAL ID at airports and some federal facilities.

U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant in order to board domestic flights. Read more about the requirement here and see how to obtain your REAL ID on time.

[bold]Entering the UK with ETA[/bold]

The expansion of the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) program will impact U.S. and European travelers headed to the United Kingdom.

Starting Jan. 8, 2025, ETA registration will be required by inbound travelers so that UK authorities can screen visitors before arrival, which was modeled after the U.S.' Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) system in an effort to reduce potential security risks and make border entry more efficient.

The ETA, which costs approximately $13, is not a visa and does not replace any existing visa requirements.

Americans traveling to the U.K. on or after Jan. 8 can apply through the UK government's official website here or use the ETA app.

The ETA is valid for multiple entries into the UK through a two-year period.

[bold]ETIAS entry and exit requirements[/bold]

Though not yet operational, the European Union’s European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), which has been postponed multiple times, is expected to take effect in May 2025.

U.S. passport holders who previously traveled to Europe without a visa will now need to apply for authorization through the ETIAS platform before visiting.

Once granted ETIAS travel authorization, travelers will be able to enter participating countries multiple times for short-term stays — usually up to 90 days — over a 180-day period. The ETIAS is valid for up to three years, but if your passport expires, a new ETIAS travel authorization will be required.

And please spare us by naming A-Listers. This is a series that casts B-list or washed up actors (or unknown actors) and gives them tons of exposure and celebrity. Don’t name fucking Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts or Timmy.

I would love Jennifer Tilly cast. I feel she would be perfect casting for this show, and her real life actually is very similar to this fictional world.

And will it take 3-4 years to actually see the results. But no matter what these companies will not be competitive in the global market. No one in America is going to work for those low wages like overseas.

Hank's first wife (before Rita Wilson) had serious mental illness, and Hanks's daughter EA (Elizabeth Anne) has written a memoir about her harrowing experiences growing up with her as the custodial parent, having to have her mother host 12step meetings in the house, conversing at any time with god, and eventually abusing her physically. It sounds like a crazy childhood: her mother would only bring ehr and her brother Colin fast food to eat, but then they'd go to their father's house and Rita Wilson would cook them elaborate multi-course meals. But as much as she loves her father, it sounds like she rarely got to spend much time alone with him because there were always PAs hanging around the house and the phone was always ringing.

[quote] “Christian nationalism” is not the liberal version of the slur “woke.” It’s more like the term “fascist.” Not only does it describe something very real, but something that remains a very present threat, one that is overrunning Oklahoma politics, and potentially the rest of the country.

[quote] ...We define it as an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular kind of “Christianity.” I use “Christianity” in quotes there because the Christianity involved isn’t theological; it’s ethno-cultural. It’s “Christianity” as code, shorthand for “people like us,” and that usually means “Anglo European ethnicity, born in the USA, politically conservative.” Christian nationalism is an ideology that envisions that group as America’s founders and rightful leaders. It seeks to institutionalize their privilege politically.

The Public Theater, Actors' Equity, and others are vowing to fight back against the funding cuts.

On Friday, May 2, the Trump Administration released its 2026 budget proposal to Congress, which included eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and other smaller agencies. Trump also proposed a 13-percent increase to defense spending, totaling $1.01 trillion. By contrast, the NEA budget is just $207 million.

That same evening, not-for-profit theatres across the country received letters that stated the grants they had been previously scheduled to receive had been rescinded. The NEA funds projects across many disciplines including dance, theatre, visual arts, and film—with grant funding ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. The agency had been expected to provide $3.73 million this year to 148 theatres; it is not yet clear how many theatres had their funding revoked.

A friend from law school has a daughter who’s an influencer. I know, I can feel the eye rolls, but she’s great. She’s beautiful and charming and gets a lot of product endorsements. She’s also very funny about Trump but she has a separate, nonbranded meme account on which she ridicules him.

But she’s also picked up a stalker who’s highly toxic and possibly even dangerous. He posts horrible comments on her social and, when she blocks him, he is instantly back with a new account. He actually hijacked her IG once and it took her almost a week to get it back. She tells her mom he’s constantly trying to hijack, get her home address, etc.

He’s in the UK but she’s in the USA. Neither her mom nor I do this sort of law. My thought is going through strictly legal above-board means, she’ll never get anywhere. I assume he uses a vpn and, to get information on him, she’d need to subpoena the ISP and/or the vpn provider and on top of all that, he’s in a different country. Vast expense with very little chance of results.

Anyone had any experience with this? Are there more “fight fire with fire” methods of dealing with it? I know basically nothing about this stuff except what I’ve seen on documentaries.

My suspicion is, if he gets uncovered, he would instantly have an anxiety attack and back away. Are there shadier ways to do that?

Things are heating up in Atlanta.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore shocked party attendees at her Kenya Moore Hair Spa Thursday night with posters of series newcomer Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex, Page Six can confirm.

We’re told Bravo cameras were rolling at the cast event, where Moore, 53, decided to unveil the explicit images. The recipient of the alleged sexual act remains unclear.

The recipient of the alleged sexual act remains unclear.

We’re told Eady was not present for the display and that, contrary to reports, she did not subsequently threaten Moore with a gun.

“At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production,” a source close to production exclusively tells Page Six.

However, another insider claims that, prior to the event, Eady made threats to Moore using the word “gun,” which made cast members feel “uncomfortable.”

That insider also claims that the explicit photos in question are “readily accessible” online.

We’re told an investigation has been launched.

OUT

OF

CONTROL!

A masterpiece. Lupone was 43 at the time, looking beautiful.

The exodus of staff from the office of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., continued Thursday with two new departures.

The exits of the longtime staffers reflects a deep disillusionment in Fetterman’s office with his disavowal of progressive politics and turn toward the right in both his openness to working with President Donald Trump and his embrace of strident pro-Israel positions.

The office’s “major staff turnover,” as one team Fetterman veteran put it, comes amid a tough hiring environment for Democratic staffers in Washington.

Is this dementia?

Republican shitstain legislators enabled tihs. How many will die I wonder.

When Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was hospitalized for depression in 2023, many on Capitol Hill celebrated it as a moment of courage and a willingness to be open about mental health struggles.

Now, a startling picture of relapse and its associated cost is being associated with him after a deeply sourced profile on Fetterman was published Friday in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer by reporter Ben Terris.

Democrats on Capitol Hill have yet to comment. But the shock from the profile’s reporting was evident across social media and on political talk programs.

I was in elementary school when The Crying Game came out, but, for some reason, my parents were always taking me to films that, supposedly, weren't appropriate. We went to the movies every couple of weeks and I got to choose the film sometimes. I also chose Basic Instinct! I guess in those pre-internet days they didn't do any research on the films before we walked into the cinema. Kudos to them for not making us leave after they saw the mature subject matter. I haven't seen The Crying Game since then, but, even, then, I remember being struck by Jaye Davidson and thinking he had a special, unique quality on screen. Although, even then, the idea that his identity was a big secret made me laugh because I distinctly remember noticing his Adam's apple in an early scene and pointing it out to my mother.

Anyway, more importantly, I wasn't familiar with his story. I wonder if he'd ever consider acting again. He seemed like a natural back then.

Is there a program that chooses the room for them, or is it entirely up to the hotel employee to decide which room you'll get?

After living in Manhattan NYC for 20 out of 33 years of my life, I’m finally leaving. It’s where I grew up but I’m just done with it. It’s still one of the greatest cities in the world but the NY city and state government has utterly abused my trust and money, and public safety and infrastructure and the subway have gotten worse and worse, as has the government's handling of crime and the migrant crisis. It’s time to leave.

I watched the first episode. Pretty good with new interviews.

It’s not like they ever took up the fight for gay rights or anything. Every bisexual man I’ve ever met in my life has been a closet case who is terrified of anyone finding out they like men. A particularly funny story, one bi guy I knew about 20 years ago, wanted to go with me to a nude gay club, but he put on glasses and insisted I call him a different name there, as if anybody’s even going to care.

At the end of the day, after getting the rocks off they just run back to their girlfriend or wife, because that is their cover for being “normal.“ And if you ever insinuate that they might be gay they fly off the handle, as if you had just called their dead mother a whore.

The new pope gets to choose his own papal name. Which one should the next one choose?

Most of the likely names would be repeating those of the last popes of the last 150 years (that's just what they do). But there almost certainly won't be a Pope Pius XIII, because it's considered an unlucky number in so many world countries.

the good, the bad, and the ugly!

So says this guy.

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe. Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties. Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun. Continue the adventure here, where Liam may be dying, Dollar Bill needs pants that don't give him a muffin top, where Hope is hopeless, and JKW wins another Daytime Emmy just for showing up to work in a bad mood. . .

What happened here, DL bitchsleuths? Sounds suspicious … ly freaky!

Reader's Digest (yes, yes - I know) has a monthly "Word Power" feature with a 15-word multiple-choice quiz on words that pertain to a certain theme. The February issue this year had "Generation Alpha" (apparently people born around 2010) words. I'm ancient, but I do read and stay current on most stuff, but I didn't know a single one of these terms.

Examples:

rizz

bussin'

yeet

bet

mid

Fanum tax

delulu

stand on business

no cap

salty

opp

sigma

ate

fit

sus (I guess I've heard that one)

I was born a cisgender white male. However, I’ve always felt more like a Chinese lesbian and now identify as one. I have not had any surgery, but if I do, I intend to fully transition and have plastic surgery to make me look authentically Asian. Right now I refer to myself as caucAsian until I fully transition.

I don’t have any issues, but many in the trans and gender minority community have not been very receptive to my identity. According to them, being transracial is not real, and that your racial identity cannot be changed in the same way gender can. I don’t understand how one can dismiss racial dysphoria!

Has anyone else had issues with not being fully accepted by the trans and gender minority community? Many say I should just be a lesbian, but I feel a true affinity with the Chinese culture. I think I was Chinese in a former life. I remember as a small boy seeing the Indiana Jones opening and knowing this was my destiny.

Any advice is appreciated!

So much slapping! I’m so happy to see Tamara Tunie as its centerpiece.

A new thread because as a kind poster mentioned... "this thread is such a dumpster fire of troll-lined sockpuppetry that you should have started a new one." So here we have a new one. Let's discuss the movie.

Nothing but a Heartache, by the Flirtations.

...any questions?

At a recent gathering the subject came up and I was surprised how many people never use these services or don't even understand them. My late model Subaru has a pretty great cruise control system where it uses cameras to monitor the distance and speed of the vehicle in front of me and adjusts my speed accordingly, automatically slowing down or speeding up. I think it's great!

I mean based on quality of life, peace, stable government, quality of healthcare, quality of food, standard of living, vacation, time, etc.

I say Norway.

In a heartfelt interview, Airyn De Niro opened up about her transition, offering a glimpse into the complexities of identity and the power of self-discovery.

Robert De Niro's child, Airyn, 29, has publicly identified as a transgender female, sharing her journey in the hopes of inspiring queer women of colour.

Previously known as Aaron Kendrick De Niro, Airyn was born on October 20, 1995, alongside her twin, Julian Henry Deon, to Robert De Niro and his former partner, Toukie Smith, during their relationship from 1988 to 1996. In her first interview following the start of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) last November, Airyn expressed that witnessing other trans women being “honest and open” online made her realise it was not “too late” for her to embrace her true self.

HRT plays a significant role in the transition process for many transgender individuals, as it involves administering hormones to help align physical characteristics with one's gender identity.

Speaking to Them magazine, Airyn said she wanted to address her transition publicly for one specific reason: “There's a difference between being visible and being seen. I don't think I've been seen yet.”

Airyn, who came out as a gay man while in high school, said she never felt as though she fit in.

I've posted about my mother's decline with early-onset Alzheimer's several times over the years here. She is 71 and was diagnosed ten years ago, although she started showing symptoms around 2013.

Around the time of her diagnosis, she also successfully battled breast cancer. Well, now, it seems the breast cancer has returned with a vengeance, and while they won't perform an ultrasound or biopsy, much less treat the cancer in any way (she has been in hospice care for over two years), it seems she is not long for this world. I can only hope the end is soon, swift, and relatively pain-free.

Losing one's mother sucks. I just finished revising her obituary. Even though I "lost" her many years ago, I could still hug her, wheel her outside to look at the flowers and the birds, talk to her, play her favorite songs for her, just be with her. I'm about to lose that, too. The world seems like a much darker place without my mom in it.

She's 93! Keep living!

Despite the anodyne-sounding headline, a new AP/NORC poll has T-Rump's approval at 39% (only 26% for Independents). He's above 40% only on immigration, where he's also underwater (46%). Sad!

Let's discuss the High Point Coffee Gal. The Gal even did a special guest appearance in the Fancy Feast commercials, but have never seen her in anything before or after. That voice is so synonymous with High Point Coffee.

I was born in the early 80s and came of age in the late 90s so I’m curious to know what life was like in the 1970s pre AIDS? Was it scary and dangerous? Was it freedom and lot of condom-free sex everywhere?

Previously it was stagnant or dropping. I now have a net worth of over 7 figures. That includes my liabilities such as my mortgage. I have no other debt.

What a joke of a nomination. 15 minutes of glowering and an arch and silly final mic drop. She will probably win because of David Lynch. Put her in a category with Alison Janney and Laura Dern for riding one note characters (cunts, in their case) all the way to the stage.

I liked the film for what it was but Robert Harris is a fancy schlockmeister, and this film wanted to be sillier than it was. Ralph Fiennes did yeomans work to keep it going through endless shots of him sitting hunched and perturbed, staring the middle distance. His nomination is well deserved.

The grating music and frankly stupid scenes - let’s gossip about our rivals in an echoey staircase! No one will hear that! - reminded me of the imposter Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy film and yes, Tomas Alfredson was an executive producer.

He was already in big trouble, but gunning for a 7 year old to rape?

There’s an up-and-coming Country singer whose music I like. I like his backstory. A Midwestern guy who joined the Navy (from a family of people who served in the Navy), started posting videos his songs while training in Florida with nothing else to do, went viral, got management/signed, played done shows, now is ready to release his first full album. It’s nice in an organic seeming way.

I…kinda have the hots for him, but I kinda don’t? He doesn’t ping at all — obviously — but he’s more sexy than handsome to me. I kinda feel like he’s what Zach Efron has been trying to look like with all the plastic surgery. He just looks manly. I think if he doesn’t keep up the skin care/hair care/work out regimen he’s gonna be a chubster when he hits forty. He already has NFL Head Coach Face.

Still, for now he’s young and hot and solidly built. Nice eyes too.

I'll go first....Luke Rockhold and Jesse Posey

The 4 bedroom house of 3700 square feet is very nice, with great views toward the city. The furnishings are not exceptional, but not too very granny.

Starring Oscar winner and master thespian Lady Haden-Guest, with Leslie Nielsen supporting. It is replete with rip-off disco dance numbers (in which Lady Haden-Guest shows her moves), a ski mask-clad killer, a prom king beheading, and a shockingly depressing ending. It is one of my favorite slasher movies.

George Clooney‘s big Broadway debut in “Good Night, and Good Luck,” which opened April 3, has broken the weekly record for the highest-grossing play in history.

The production, which the two-time Oscar winner stars in and co-wrote, grossed $3.78 million across eight performances in its first full week at New York City’s Winter Garden Theatre.

The average ticket price was $303, though some premium seating listed on the box office board neared $900.

This is behind a paywall but here is the most important part:

I’m told that DeMayo sent nude photos of himself — or at the very least, photos of himself in various states of undress — to several young male staffers. Some of these photos allegedly featured DeMayo wearing superhero costumes and striking sexually suggestive “hero” poses that could be used as “inspiration” for the show. DeMayo was asked to stop sending such photos but I’m told that he persisted nonetheless. “If you were a guy who looked like they could be under 30 on that show [X-Men ’97], you have his nudes whether you wanted them or not.”

Actor Paapa Essiedu may be set to star as Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter television series, but that doesn’t mean he sides with JK Rowling when it comes to her anti-trans views.

The 34-year-old British actor is one of 400 TV and film professionals who have signed an open letter expressing their solidarity with the trans community in the wake of the UK Supreme Court’s April 17 ruling that defined women based on biological sex, excluding trans women.

The ruling, which is predicted to have broad-reaching implications for the trans and non-binary community and was financially backed by Rowling, “undermines the lived reality and threatens the safety of trans, non-binary and intersex people living in the UK,” the open letter reads.

Essiedu isn’t the only star of the Harry Potter franchise to sign the letter. Fantastic Beasts star Eddie Redmayne and Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in the original Harry Potter films, have both spoken out against Rowling in the past and signed the letter. The letter was developed by development producer Sid Strickland of Motive Pictures and script editor Jack Casey after the ruling came out and it became clear that it would exclude trans people from single-sex facilities, including industry sets and movie theaters, Deadline reports.

“The UK film and television industry is at the forefront of cultural change. In recent years, we have come together in response to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements, to reflect upon our working practices and uplift a broad spectrum of voices in our society,” the letter said.

“We must now urgently work to ensure that our trans, non-binary and intersex colleagues, collaborators and audiences are protected from discrimination and harassment in all areas of the industry, whether on set, in a production office or at a cinema.”

Essiedu signed his name to the letter despite starring in HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of Rowling’s Harry Potter series, and Rowling’s financial support of the anti-trans policy and her celebrity social media posts once the Supreme Court ruled in her favor.

The letter was also signed by nonbinary The Last of Us Star Bella Ramsey and Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan, who recently raised £120,000 for the trans rights charity Not a Phase, and Fantastic Beasts star Eddie Redmayne, who has spoken out against Rowling’s anti-trans views in the past.

And even more Harry Potter stars signed their names, too. Trevor White, who played Harry Potter in the Canadian premiere of the stage production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child signed alongside Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince actress Bessie Carter (who is also Professor Umbridge actress Imelda Staunton’s daughter), younger Lily Potter actress Amy Forest, Harry Potter series actress Ayoola Smart, and Eleanor Matsuura, who appeared in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as a character named "Yaxley’s Henchwoman" were also signatories.

This is so sad

The mountain is open for business!

2023 saw a bumper crop of 17 fatalities (a record) but 2024's tally was disappointing.

The authorities continue to implement new rules to spoil our fun:

On April 18th, the government of Nepal registered an “Integrated Tourism Bill” in Nepal’s upper house of Parliament, mandating that any climber wishing to hike Mount Everest must show valid proof that they have experience previously scaling a 22,965-foot (7,000-meter) mountain, or they will be prohibited from climbing the world’s tallest mountain peak.

In addition, the new bill also includes bans on solo expeditions, mandating that solo climbers will no longer be permitted to climb Mount Everest alone, and that one guide be assigned for every two climbers on peaks taller than 26,000 feet (8,000 meters), which includes Mount Everest, Annapurna, and K2, the second-tallest mountain in the world.

All climbers are also mandated to carry advanced satellite tracking devices during their ascent, so teams on the ground can track their movements in real time, and will also be able to monitor their vital signs, such as the climber’s heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body temperature, transmitting the critical data to Base Camp and rescue teams through satellite signals, alerting those on the ground of emergencies involving climbers.

As the rest of Brooklyn’s famous family was pictured celebrating at popular London restaurant Core on Saturday, the young model and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, were notably absent from any photos taken during the festivities.

Sources close to the family claimed last month that the two eldest Beckham brothers are currently in a feud and not on speaking terms over Romeo’s girlfriend — who allegedly carried on a brief romance with the older Beckham brother prior to her current relationship.

Insiders told TMZ the sibling rift has nothing to do with jealousy but rather, Brooklyn’s concern for Turnbull’s possible motives behind dating another Beckham son.

My fat daughter is positive about a lot of things

My fat daughter positive that her chair can hold her girth for approximately 10 more minutes before it collapses under the stress of her bulk.

My fat daughter is positive she needs an entire row on an airplane to herself, due to her width.

My fat daughter is positive she will stab the Door Dash driver if he doesn’t get her in five minutes with her order from Popeye’s.

I do wish someone would take my fat daughter’s phone and Ipad away, perhaps she might waddle outside and move around if that happened.

From stopping dust and dirt getting into the eyes to prompting our blink reflex, eyelashes do more than just look pretty.

Which makes it hard to explain the social media trend of men trimming down — or even entirely shaving off — their eyelashes in a bid to look “more masculine.”

Videos posted to TikTok, Instagram and X in recent weeks show men braving blades very close to their eyes, in barber shops from Turkey to New Zealand, in a quest for stubby lashes. While some barbers are seen wielding buzzing electric clippers, others are freestyling with just a pair of hairdressing scissors and, hopefully, a steady hand.

Some BIG names!

“Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Stonewall Community Foundation executive director Elisa Crespo, drag artist Marti Gould Cummings, DJ Lina, and Trans formative Schools have been tapped to lead the NYC Pride March, which is scheduled to begin at noon on June 29.”

What’s going on with these postcards? Are they just some schizophrenic writing or are they clues?

Coined for a style of Italian horror films (mostly made in the 1970s and 1980s) that often feature gloved killers, murder mystery elements, and stylized slasher gore, the term is often associated with filmmakers such as Dario Argento and Mario Bava. I just finished watching Lamberto Bava's "A Blade in the Dark" (1983) which I found quite fun. What are some of your favorites, from the classics to the fringe?

Bret Stephens is like a bratty kid looking for attention, and Stephanie and Bill are not having it.

Stephens snotty attitude personifies why the NYT's coverage of Trump and the election is all wrong. Like Hillary Clinton said on Friday's Morning Joe, she had more policy details than any presidential candidate in history, and in the end, it didn't matter. She still lost to Trump because of vibes.

Is this a clear example of Stockholm Syndrome?

Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR as he alleged “bias” in the broadcasters’ reporting.

The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies “to cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS" and further requires that that they work to root out indirect sources of public financing for the news organizations. The White House, in a social media posting announcing the signing, said the outlets “receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'”

I think there are people on his comms department who are trying to bring him down from the inside.

I can't think of anyone more beautiful than Sophia Loren. She could almost turn me straight. Other top contenders: Lucille Ball, Jane Russell, Joan Crawford and Carly Simon.

The end of de minimis exemptions means the end of affordable goods shipped from China directly to American consumers.

One day after sharing a widely condemned AI-generated photo of Donald Trump as the Pope, the White House returned Saturday to X with another Trump meme, this time with the president styled as what his social media team appears to believe is a beefed-up, patriotic Jedi — despite the fact that the president is holding a red lightsaber.

Though it could be inferred from that caption that the White House intended to present Trump as Jedi, the image notably shows him holding a red lightsaber — a hallmark of the Sith, stewards of the Dark Side. Based on that detail, it’s unclear if the White House intended to celebrate “Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members” or decry them.

The family of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in an on-set shooting in 2021, are urging audiences to see the “stunning” film in Hutchins’ memory.

Leadership at the Art Institute of Chicago was scrambling Friday, after their director was accused of being involved in a bizarre incident onboard a flight to Europe last month.

Art Institute president and director James Rondeau is now voluntarily taking time away amid an independent investigation into the incident.

Rondeau has been the Art Institute's president and director since 2016. His salary is more than $1 million a year.

Sources said Rondeau was a passenger on United Airlines flight 953 from Chicago to Munich on April 18. Police were called to the plane following reports of a passenger stripping off his clothes.

Sources confirmed that passenger was Rondeau, and the incident occurred after he drank alcohol and took prescription medication. In response multiple inquiries to the Art Institute, a spokesperson said, "The Art Institute takes this very seriously and has opened an independent investigation into the incident to gather all available information."

Art Institute officials said Rondeau has since returned to Chicago, and "Art Institute leadership is meeting to determine next steps."

Rondeau has not responded to requests for comment.

Or maybe you tune in for the Sharon Case Daily Face Update? - Or just enjoy hate-watching The Stafford and her tiresome shtick? - Or simply love seeing the always-perturbed Aunt Jack just being Aunt Jack?

And of course, everyone is surely tuning-in for the greatly-anticipated Traci & Alan sex scene, as well as hoping to see seventy-somethings Aunt Jordan & Ian Ward fuck like rabbits as well. And let's not forget the always-lovable Messa!

The owner of a white supremacist account on X has reportedly been unmasked as a Dallas-area prosecutor who represents Immigrations and Customs Enforcement at court.

James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, 44, an assistant chief counsel for ICE who represents the agency in immigration hearings in the Dallas area, appears to be behind the account, which regularly shares racist and anti-immigrant takes, the Texas Observer reported.

“America is a White nation founded by Whites,” the account GlomarResponder wrote to its 17,000 followers last month.

“All blacks are foreign to my people, dumb f---,” said a post from September.

In other posts, GlomarResponder described himself as a “fascist” and said the freedom of association had been abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The newspaper confirmed his identity by comparing information shared by the account with federal court records and other public records, information from private data broker sites, open-source investigation tools, other social media profiles and interviews, and courtroom hearings.

Starts tonight Feb 26, 2025

In prisons, police beat and rape prisoners with impunity.

Pitchin' for Germany:

And so I watched it.

And I couldn't stop thinking: "what on earth is going on?" when in the middle of everything we stop for a disco dance-off with JLC!

I actually kinda loved that bit. And the knock-off disco song, haha!

"Prom night! Everything is alright! Prom night! No more feelin' uptight!"

WTF? The daughter was obviously mentally 'delayed' and the parents agreed to marry her off to a well-to-do Italian family? Her family encourages the idea that the girl's lack of the Italian language is 'charming' to the the Italian family.

Was in the shower and applied by head and shoulders shampoo to my hair. I have dermatitis and very oily skin, so I use it on my face as well. (It helps with both of those issues.)

I dropped the shampoo container and said, “oh shit.” When I opened my mouth to say it, some of the shampoo went into my mouth.

I spat but I could still taste it. I kept spitting but the taste remained. I’m out of the shower and dried off but can still taste it, despite having thoroughly rinsed my mouth. Will it kill me? Should I get my affairs in order?

I can’t believe it. I’ve been addicted to gay porn for years. For the past two months, I’ve avoided porn and stuck to just either hooking up with regulars or jerking off. I’ve noticed that lately, I’ve really been enjoying jerking off to fantasies of old encounters, and sex with hook ups feels much more exciting.

So yesterday, I decided to try watching porn again, and I found it boring. It didn’t really do anything for me and I ended up putting down the iPad and going back to fantasies in my mind. Go figure.

The Italian crooner turns 91 today. He's still performing, and recently addressed criticism of his latest concert tour.

He said in a POPLE interview back in October:

“I know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air. I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as always. I absolutely love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks.

How do we do the show?! The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments. We use our 60 years of experience so we sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangements….everything. I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do.”

I recently learned that Diana was born at Park House, a house her father rented on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk before he took over the family title and moved to Althorp in 1975 (when Diana was 14).

The Spencers and her maternal side (her mom was also born at Park House) had lived at that house for decades and interacted with the royal family when they were there. Diana knew Charles from an early age and often played with Prince Edward and Andrew as children.

But somehow they make it out that Diana didn't know Charles or his siblings or the Royal Family very well. They've known Diana her entire life - except for 14-19 when she was at boarding school and living in Althorp or in Chelsea.

Am I the only one who thought she was new to the family? The way they portrayed it in The Crown was as if they were strangers and she 'dazzled' them when she was asked to attend a shooting party.

Holy shit this story is wild. James Doyle, a former reality TV star on A-List: Dallas, is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from unsuspecting gay men in Oklahoma, using social media and apps.

Makes me think Barbra knew what she was doing when casting The Mirror Has Two Faces.

I always thought it was odd that she cast a waspy blonde but I was wrong.

Hawt James McCardle as buddy YA writer looking after his and his friends old bag mothers while they party at Gran Canaria Pride!

From an article 16 years ago: "—Anthony DeAngelo and Cameron Cruise stepped onto a gay porn set to shoot their first movie in November 1999. Ten years later, the couple—now known as the bareback producer-director-performer team Tony&Cam—still does everything together.

“And after these past 10 years of romance, fucking, filmmaking and everything in between, we’re still in love,” DeAngelo said."

Quincy also did not like the song's bassline or title. And he did not like Jackson's demo, according to the Wikipedia entry for the song.

I'm glad MJ prevailed.

The smiles may be real for the cameras — but behind the scenes, tensions are boiling between Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively.

Sources tell #ShuterScoop that while the two actresses are promoting their latest project, Blake is refusing to do interviews, showing up only for photo ops — and dumping the entire press tour workload onto Anna’s shoulders.

“Blake’s doing glam shots, waving at photographers — and that’s it,” an insider close to the situation reveals. “Meanwhile, Anna’s stuck answering all the tough questions alone. She’s not happy about it.”

DHS agents detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist & Columbia University student last night, declaring his visa had been revoked.

Khalil has a green card - not a visa - & is a lawful permanent resident. DHS appeared confused by this news & detained him anyway.

Where to the handsome gay, hard bodies play worldwide? Best sex parties or nude resorts?

First they reported 2.1 Million attendees to Lady Gaga's Rio show yesterday. Then it somehow inflated to 2.5 Million!

Official numbers.... 1.6 Million attendees.

Roughly the same amount as "you-know-who" or as thinking people like to say... maximum beach capacity.

We know Gavin Newsom, AOC, Pete Buttigieg, and Josh Shapiro have zero chance of becoming the 2028 Dem nominee. Gretchen Whitmer has screwed up her chances.

A musical gets an award for its score and a separate award for its book: so 2 separate awards for the words coming out of people.

Why not for plays? Surely there's worth in recognizing the merit of what people are saying, even if the production or the acting of the play stunk.

I wanted the energy of the confident, breezy, smart, image-conscious women-on-the-go in this Sizzler commercial. They were the height of attainable sophistication to me. My parents would call me into the room whenever the ad was on and I would stalk about in front of the TV deciding where to eat lunch with my similar chic friends.

Hundreds of Americans have jumped on a multi-state lawsuit alleging that the makers of Ozempic and Mounjaro caused them life-altering injuries.

The suit was filed against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the two pharma giants that have raked in billions thanks to the blockbuster weight-loss meds.

Ohio native and grandmother of seven Dana Filmore can no longer eat solid foods and has to blend her meals. Louisville’s Jacqueline Barber threw up so much she became dangerously malnourished.

Tennessee oil rig worker Bob Tuttle was forced to quit his job because the stomach pain was unbearable. And Philadelphia-born Debbie Kirtz believed she would never make it out of the hospital alive.

They and many others argue in the suit that Lilly and Novo failed to warn its millions of eager customers about the very real risk of severe gastrointestinal injury, including stomach paralysis, gallbladder issues, colon removal, and more, as well as making misleading statements about the drugs’ safety.

Dana Filmore, a 55-year-old diabetic, was uncomfortable with the prospect of having to stick herself with a needle every week when her doctor suggested she try Ozempic to manage her type 2 diabetes.

For about two years, the medicine did what it was approved to do – lower her blood sugar levels. But in the last six months that she was on it, the severe nausea kicked in. It gradually worsened, and she had to burn through her vacation time to recuperate.

It got to a point where she became scared to eat solid foods, because a few bites would send her to the bathroom.

This is his latest excuse for shutting down trade: China's been ripping us off by selling us stuff we don't need. Empty out those shelves!

Senator Tim Scott and Rep. Byron Donalds were outspoken surrogates for Trump in 2024. No matter how noxious, offensive or ridiculous his ravings, they made themselves look like c00ns on television defending him. Both have been loyal. Both were -- allegedly -- on the shortlist to be his VP pick. Senator Scott even married a sad, sorry-looking white lady to bolster his chances.

What is their reward for sacrificing their integrity and dignity?! Every other moron is being picked for Trump's cabinet, I hope he doesn't overlook the Black guys who destroyed their own souls to support him.

He's gotten rejected no doubt numerous times by hot tops.

I started another thread about him being rejected by someone he had a date with. He mentioned having spent $50 on Uber fare to meet that person. I have no doubt he was willing to spend all of that money because he was looking for his TOP in Shining Armor.

RICHMOND, Va. — Republican John Reid said Friday he will continue his campaign to be Virginia’s lieutenant governor and denied he had anything to do with a social media account containing sexually explicit photos that had prompted GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin to call for him to quit the race.

Reid, the first openly gay man to run statewide in Virginia and a supporter of Youngkin, posted a video response to the governor's attempt to stymie his candidacy after the governor learned of the photos on a Tumblr account with a username matching the candidate’s Instagram handle. Reid said the account was a fabrication that comes as he grapples with increasing pressure to exit the race by members of his party.

“It’s predictable, but what I didn’t expect was the governor I have always supported to call and demand my resignation without even showing me the supposed evidence or offering me a chance to respond,” said Reid, a conservative talk-radio host. “I did not accept that, and I deeply resent it.”

The political theater comes a week before the May 2 start of early voting in Virginia’s primaries and only days after Reid's only Republican opponent dropped out.

The Tumblr account, which was first reported by The Richmonder, was active Friday morning but was deleted by that afternoon. The webpage had reposted photos of naked men, according to The Richmonder.

“The Governor was made aware late Thursday of the disturbing online content,” according to a statement released by a political group affiliated with Youngkin. “Friday morning, in a call with Mr. Reid, the Governor asked him to step down as the Lt. Governor nominee.”

In a video statement, Reid said he did not own the account. He also said his worst fear had been that someone would manufacture lies about him because of his sexuality.

The remains of Georgia twins Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis, both 19, were discovered by hikers at the top of Bell Mountain in Hiawassee, Georgia, on March 8.

According to a preliminary investigation, authorities believe the teens — who were found with gunshot wounds — died as a result of a "murder suicide," with autopsies pending and an investigation ongoing, per the news release.

The twins' family has been left shocked by the discovery, with relatives telling Georgia NBC affiliate WXIA that they thought the teens were visiting friends in Boston at the time.

I’m going to LaJolla in June for my brother’s wedding. He and his fiancé live there - she is from Bakersfield and she was NOT having her wedding there.

I’m older-53- so not really interested in clubs but are there any nice, gay friendly bars to just have a drink? I’ll need a break from family.

I’m trying to convince my brother to incorporate Dr. Seuss into the wedding somehow (maybe something as simple as a tabletop figure) as my brother grew up in Springfield, MA and now lives in LaJolla, exactly the same as Seuss did.

He-Man is supposed to be a huge gigantic guy like the guy in the middle of the photo. (Dolph was 6’5”). Nicholas should have only played Prince Adam and they should have used a huge guy to play He-Man. This just looks stupid.

I’ve played around with a few. From my experience they tend to have smoother darker skin and smooth hairless chests and ass cheeks. Like something out of a dream.

This was transparently a terrible idea for a movie. Feige doesn’t understand public tastes anymore.

Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies arrested Damien Allen on April 29 after a month long investigation of Allen’s activity on social media, where he would allegedly post threats to commit multiple mass shootings.

Authorities say that Allen was also chatting with Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow about his plans over TikTok. Rupnow, who was 15 at the time, conducted a mass shooting on Dec. 17, 2024, shooting and killing a teacher and student and wounding six others in Wisconsin before turning the gun on herself.

Deputies say they found that the 22-year-old had amassed an arsenal of 18 firearms, more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition, ballistic armor, tactical gear and multiple uniforms, including a Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office deputy uniform and several different military uniforms.

"Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed into law the Medical Ethics Defense Act, which lets health care practitioners refuse to perform or pay for a procedure or prescription that goes against their personal morals, ethics, or religious beliefs.

The legislation, which applies to medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and insurance companies, immediately went into effect with Gov. Lee’s signature."

Now that the NYC Pride Marshalls have been announced and gay men have been completely excluded, I’m in the mood to get some things off my chest.

1. Pride was supposed to be ours (gay and lesbian), not mentally ill people on the spectrum who want to cut their kiełbasas.

2. Nonbinary is a bunch of stupid bullshit that has nothing to do with us, yet for some reason they get a seat at our table, and then they steal all the silverware and salt shakers.

3. Trans people, at least here in California, now get their own special month as well in addition to the month of June that they’ve stolen from us.

4. We all have to suffer another Trump term because of men in women’s sports and made up pronouns. And we gays are getting blamed for this because we’ve all been lumped together so nobody knows what the hell is what anymore.

It's a Saturday. The goal is to get this one as close to 11 million in attendance as possible, so it's very important that we all spread the word as much as possible. Hang up signs at work, hand out fliers to neighbors--anything you can do.

Because of the turnout on 4/5, MSM is actually advertising this one. This is excellent progress. Don't give up, bitches--they're taking notice.

[QUOTE]Cuomo, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations and claims he covered up the number of Covid nursing home deaths, is indicating he may run for mayor if Eric Adams sinks under the weight of a federal investigation.

I love that they snubbed so many of these movie and tv stars. I remember stating it feels strange how many of these actors suddenly wanna do theatre, on Broadway in particular. It feels disingenuous, like they are only doing it in hopes to get a Tony and they feel being RDJ on Broadway guarantees a nomination.

Denzel is different as hes a theatre trained actor whose roots are in theatre. He’s done plays many times in the past. The others just want to win awards. That’s why so many of them are now producing plays too. Look at Tony winner Angelina Jolie. She would never star in a play because we would see how bad she is without the editing and many takes etc. so she attaches her name to a show and gets an award.

Soon we will see JLC doing a play.

[quote]Among the latest finds is a miniature phallus-shaped pendant made from Jet gemstone, with its smooth surface suggesting the wearer touched it often for good luck.

[quote]Phallic imagery was commonly used in as a symbol of good luck in Roman art. Soldiers would often wear fist-and-phallus amulets for luck in battle and parents would kit their children out with penis-shaped pendants to protect them from the evil eye. The symbols have been found on a wide range of Roman objects, from mosaics to lamps. Along Hadrian’s Wall alone, 59 phallic representations have been identified on the wall and in associated forts.

Yet they preach love and peace.

We often hear “That’s a racist trope” and “That’s an antisemitic trope”

But I think those phrases are overused to block all criticism.

Tell us what all the tropes are so we can avoid using them:

"Reform seized control of eight authorities from the Conservatives, including former strongholds Kent and Staffordshire. The party has also won control of Doncaster, the only council Labour was defending, and Durham, where Labour was previously the largest party."

Is this like winning control of a county council in the US? More like state elections? Somewhere-in-between?

On the night of Saturday, April 26, James Farthing learned that his $2 Powerball ticket that he bought his mom was a winner, and the duo had won a $167.3 million jackpot, the largest lottery prize in the history of Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Lottery.

However, the mother-son duo’s celebration was short-lived. Days later, on Wednesday, April 30, Farthing was arrested.

Farthing was at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Fla., when a fight broke out, and Farthing allegedly punched another patron in the face. Meanwhile, his girlfriend was allegedly also trying to fight guests of the hotel, per USA Today. She “appeared very intoxicated,” the affidavit said, “and was yelling, screaming and making incoherent statements.”

This comedian does the best Trump imitation in the most satirical way. The video I’ve linked to is my favorite as it is a great send up of just how fucking ridiculous Trump is.

Just to piss off everyone who hate that we keep talking about this.

He'll never be fired. He'll be forced to resign 'to be closer to his family.'

The actor also refused to talk about his upcoming hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" after the show aired a "White Lotus" parody that mocked Wood's teeth.

Scorpio. So secretive.

Walton Goggins abruptly shut down questions about his former White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood in a tense new interview, refusing to talk about a rumored falling-out between them while they were filming the series in Thailand.

The reporter tried to broach the subject again, as Goggins is set to make his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live for the May 10 episode. The show recently parodied The White Lotus with a Donald Trump twist in a sketch called "The White Potus," in which cast member Sarah Sherman spoofed Wood's character by wearing a very pronounced set of fake teeth. Wood called the segment "mean and unfunny," prompting apologies from the show and Sherman.

"Shall we talk about The Uninvited a bit more?" one of Goggins' publicists asked when the reporter brought up the sketch.

"There is no conversation to be had about that," Goggins replied. "Sharing politics on social media — it's in a vacuum."

When the reporter tried to "make a last forlorn attempt" to discuss Wood, an exasperated Goggins responded, "What the f---, Ed?! Come on, buddy. Wow."

"We're going to end it there," one of his publicists said.

Wood and Goggins played Chelsea and Rick, star-crossed lovers who meet their demise following a shoot-out, in the recently wrapped third season of the HBO hit. Rumors of a falling-out between the pair surfaced after eagle-eyed fans noticed that they had unfollowed each other on Instagram after they'd previously been friends on the platform and left each other supportive comments.

Jason Isaacs, who played fellow White Lotus Thailand guest and embattled finance man Timothy Ratliff, has alluded to possible offscreen tension, but he also lambasted the rampant speculation about the cast.

"Like anywhere you go for the summer, there's friendships, there's romances, there's arguments, there's cliques that form and break and reform," Isaacs said on an April episode of SiriusXM's Today Show Radio. "I'm just saying it wasn't a holiday … because people think we were on a seven-month holiday, and, believe me, it felt like work a lot of the time."

"It was insanely hot, and there's all the normal social tensions you get anywhere," he added. "But for all of you [who] think you've cracked it by something you think someone has posted or is in a photo or not, you're just so far from the truth, believe me."

The actor, along with his two publicists in attendance, made it clear that he would not address the topic during a chat with the U.K.'s The Times that, as the reporter noted, went "off the rails" after a mention of possible tension he might have with Wood.

"I'm not gonna have that conversation," Goggins said.

"We're not going there, thank you," one publicist added, before the second called for the "next question."

Let the punishment fit the crime

Warren Buffett intends to step down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO after 55 years, ending his tenure as the longest-serving chief executive of an S&P 500 company.

The legendary investor announced he would recommend to Berkshire's board that he resign as CEO at the end of this year. He broke the news to a stadium full of his shareholders during Berkshire's annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The crowd gave Buffett two standing ovations and recognized his many years of service with thunderous applause.

"The enthusiasm shown by this response can be interpreted in two ways," Buffett joked, before adding, "Thank you."

Apparently, he thinks he can produce them himself since there are no touring productions of these shows.

To those who insist that Trump is the mastermind behind all the aggressive moves done in his name, how dies a 78-year-old man notorious for only working half days and taking every weekend off to play golf in Florida find the time to personally run a performing arts center?

Tired of waiting for Boeing to make a new Air Force One, President Donald Trump’s administration is now revamping a plane once used by the Qatari government, according to a report.

“I’m not happy with Boeing,” the president said in February, referring to the Air Force One program. "We may buy a plane or get a plane, or something."

Now, his administration seems to be doing just that. The federal government is hiring defense contractor L3Harris to refurbish a Boeing 747 previously used by the Qatari government, the Wall Street Journal reported.

If you want to be a writer, you can now learn it directly from Agatha Christie. I heard there are companies out there who get hired by dying people to capture their likeness, so the surviving spouse or children can have true conversation with the dead individuals.

The possibilities are now endless. Who do want to 'revive' and converse with?

54 year old Louis Serbeck died on Easter Sunday after being beaten to death with a bat, according to local authorities.

The confrontation stemmed from an incident that occurred one day earlier, when a minor male allegedly assaulted Serbeck's daughter.

Police have now arrested 55-year-old Eric Hannah and an unnamed 17-year-old boy identified as "J.H." on charges of homicide and weapons offenses, according to a news release from the prosecutor's office.

"J.H. is alleged to have struck Serbeck in the head several times with a metal baseball bat," the release states. "It is further alleged that Hannah, who was present and joined the fight, struck Serbeck in the back of the head with a metal flashlight."

“We're allowing people to be more of who they are,” London, 55, tells PEOPLE in a joint interview with Kelly, 56, of their new show Wear Whatever the F You Want. “A lot more is out in the open when we are talking about body positivity or gender or sexuality or even race.

These are all topics that were not front and center in 2003. Everything evolves, so we have to find ways to mirror the times that we're in. It would be so tone-deaf if we were still trying to do the same format of kidnapping people and telling them, ‘Wow. You look like crap’ in a 360 mirror."

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office said in a press release it "received information" on Monday regarding a golf cart incident that happened on Saturday at The Madison Club in La Quinta. According to officials, Elway's agent and longtime friend Jeffrey Sperbeck, 62, fell off the back of a golf cart.

TMZ reported that Elway was driving the golf cart at the time and the two were leaving a Stagecoach after-party when the incident happened. Elway was reportedly the first person to call 911. Public records indicate Elway has a property that's a 10-minute drive from The Madison Club.

The Cal Fire spokesperson said that the Riverside County Sheriff's Office wasn't requested to respond to the incident "due to the call being medical in nature."

In a statement, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said it would conduct an investigation into the death of Sperbeck "and will take appropriate action based on the outcome."

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office didn't respond to Fox News Digital when asked why the office didn't hear about the incident until two days later.

Donald Trump has proposed eliminating funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, as his administration also has taken steps to pull back grants that have already been awarded.

The NEA received an appropriation of $207 million in the most recent fiscal year.

Earlier this year, the NEA announced a shift in grant priorities to projects in support of the 250th anniversary of the United States. The NEA also canceled another grant program, Challenge America. That program had an emphasis on “small organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved groups/communities.”

The Equalizer is cancelled.....amid rumors of "backstage tension."

[quote]Tsikanovsky claimed that the community she once felt close to now wants nothing to do with her. “The queer people have turned their backs on me, and I’m queer, so it’s very painful,” she said.

[quote]She says she was iced out of her queer basketball team and no longer receives invites to parties or LGBTQ+ social events. “Ever since I publicly said I was voting for Trump, I am no longer welcome in the [LGBTQ+] social spheres they provide,” she said. “If there was a birthday party I was invited to, I’m no longer able to attend. I think it’s disgusting someone can push me out of something [like this]. They liked me two weeks ago, and now they don’t, just because I voted for someone.”

May her pussy continue to gather dust ...

Move over, Austin Butler, there is a new young star vying to play Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated “American Psycho.”

An X user (formerly Twitter) posted on April 30 that he had “found” Schwarzenegger’s “breakout role,” replying to a report that “American Psycho” will be Guadagnino’s next film in production. Schwarzenegger then responded to the post, writing, “I’d love nothing more.”

This isn’t the first time the “White Lotus” star has expressed interest in playing the murderous Wall Street banker. Back in 2024, in a reply to Variety‘s X post reporting Guadagnino’s undertaking of a new “American Psycho” film, Schwarzenegger wrote, “My dream.”

Did anyone ever experience this kind of homophobia.. In highschool, a few teachers were out sick, so about 4 classes were ushered into the gym. As my class entered, last, all the kids were spread around the room at the walls, with the entire centre of the gym empty. This guy, accross the other side of the gym, was shouting things, in amongst the noisy teens pouring into the gym, like someone deranged, pacing back and forth, not acknowledging other people in the room; and his eyes were closed; and in trying to describe his behaviour to you now, its akin to a person ranting at the top of his voice on the streer, that weve all seen; while people ignore him. The thing is, he was shouting about Me. He was shouting Blank is a faggot, blank is a queer...youre a Homo..A HOMOOO. He didnt acknowledge my presence or look my way and he had been shouting it b4 i even entered. I felt sick to my stomach and so embarrassed...but to everyone else he was kinda ignored. I honestly dont think i had to even have been there for him to be shouting this. I hadnt ever spoken to him b4 or after. (He seemed like a guy who was destined for prison). I was an introvert. We had never spoken; i wasnt in any of his classes. We were rarely in the same space. The gym was noisy with 100 teen boys and he was just another noise....but there was no acknowledgement of my actual presence. .like he was ranting about some celebrity or footballer. What was this? This is fucking weird, right?

In 2014, Marianne Napoles moved into a two-bedroom garden apartment in Eagle Canyon, on the forested slopes of Chino Hills, California. She found the property managers helpful, and the landlord, Equity Residential, lowered her rent by $43 when she renewed in 2020.

Then came the fees, starting with $2 a month for pest removal, then $10 to use her unit's one-car garage — amenities originally included in the rent. The monthly parking charge was hiked to $20, and then she got hit with a $30 charge for compost pickup after Equity hired Valet Living for state-mandated organic waste disposal.

In February, Napoles paid $165 in monthly fees, including water and sewage, up from $44 when she moved in. Her rent rose by about 70% over the decade, while her fees nearly quadrupled.

How this woman is not on Streisand's level is baffling to me.

She has one of the best voices in the business, is an accomplished musical theater actress (just finished two years touring in Funny Girl) and a top-notch songwriter to boot.

Her pop years were pretty excellent as well. She was verging into Liza Minnelli meets Madonna territory.

Terrence Howard has revealed the line that he refuses to cross when it comes to choosing roles.

The story began with Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson, who Howard claims invited him to dinner years ago because "he wanted me to play his life" in a movie. Howard said his great regret was turning Robinson down, because he was already in "conversation with Lee Daniels about playing Marvin Gaye" in a separate project.

But in the end, Howard portrayed neither of the legendary musicians, sharing that he stepped back from the Gaye project when he discovered how the singer's sexuality would be explored.

"I was over at Quincy Jones' house and I’m asking Quincy, 'I’m hearing rumors that Marvin was gay' and I’m like, 'Was he gay?,'" Howard recalled. "And Quincy’s like, 'Yes.'"

From there, Howard decided that he "could not" play the role.

"They would’ve wanted to do that, and I wouldn’t have been able to do that,” he said of portraying a gay relationship.

"You mean you couldn’t kiss a guy on screen in a movie?" Maher asked, to which Howard replied, "No. Because I don’t fake it."

"I couldn't kiss a man either," Maher agreed.

Howard took it further, adding, "That would f--- me. I would cut my lips off. If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off."

This gave Maher pause, with the podcast host quickly clarifying that while he would not go to the same drastic lengths, he understands Howard's rejection of the role. He added, "It does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man."

Watched this last weekend. It is a must see!

It is bizarre, lurid, surreal, funny, touching, and frightening. And it’s LGBT adjacent (at the very least).

Not only must Trent Whittington become a gay icon instantly, his male victim is even named “Josh.” Surely the screenwriter is a datalounger.

I must also say, I would gladly watch a MAX series about Jasper — the Columbo of dead mail.

Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump's birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army's most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.

The Army anniversary just happens to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14.

But TIL it has a 1st class section called "Mint Class" (really) and serves Prosecco. And that male flight attendants are very patient. The passengers, though...

Highlights:

A chameleon enthusiast from Southern California drank an entire bottle of Prosecco during the first half of a cross-country flight, then allegedly slapped a flight attendant’s rear end before pulling down his pants and underwear and exposing his genitalia – twice – to another member of the cabin crew.

When police later questioned 49-year-old Dennis Wally Woodbury about his behavior aboard the JetBlue plane, which included asking a young girl walking in the aisle “if her parents made her out of lust or love,” he claimed the two flight attendants had in fact “solicited” him, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Independent.

Before the aircraft pushed back from the gate, Woodbury struck up a conversation with a flight attendant identified in the affidavit by the initials “R.O.,” and showed him a picture of a dog, the affidavit says. Behind the dog, the affidavit continues, was “a blurred image of what appeared to be two men having sex.”

“R.O. responded by saying, ‘Oh my God,’” the affidavit goes on. “Woodbury laughed and said, ‘I was wondering how long it would take you.’ Woodbury then told R.O. that he should go on a cruise with him.

Once the plane got moving, R.O. conducted the pre-flight safety briefing, the affidavit states. It continues that when R.O. began demonstrating how the plane’s oxygen masks worked, he saw Woodbury “looking at him and [making] a hand pumping motion.”

J.C. walked to the rear of the cabin to inform the rest of the crew about Woodbury’s antics, the affidavit says. At the same time, Woodbury approached R.O. in the plane’s front galley “and pulled down his pants exposing the head of his erect penis,” according to the affidavit.

It says R.O. told Woodbury, “This is not the place to do that.” Woodbury walked away but quickly circled back, asking R.O. for a glass of wine, the affidavit states. R.O. said no, but that he would serve Woodbury a non-alcoholic drink.

“Woodbury then pulled down his pants a second time[,] exposing the head of his erect penis,” the affidavit contends. “R.O. told Woodbury, ‘Enough. Go back to your seat.’”

Actress Donna Mills, 84, sat down for an interview, and after 36 years of leaving 'Knots Landing' in 1989, the actress has finally 'broken her silence' on why she left the series after a decade. She thought the writers weren't writing her character very well at that point, and that's why she left.

Mills said, "You pretty much rely on the writers, and it's actually one of the reasons I left when I did."

She continued, "I just didn't think the writers at that time…eight, nine years of creating this character, for the writers, it got to be 'Oh god, what are we gonna do with her next?' and I felt like they'd kind of run out. I didn't want to see the character go downhill. And that's why I left. I wanted to go out with Abby at the top when she's at her best. I don't want to see her go downhill, so that was why I left the show. It all hinged on the writing."

Mills did praise the writers who were creating the show "at the beginning." She thought they "were fabulous," but by her ninth season, she thought the quality had gone way down, and she would never have left otherwise.

"If I felt that, you know, either they were getting new writers or they had some wonderful ideas, I would've stayed. It wasn't about money…I loved that character and I didn't want her to kind of fritter away," said Mills.

And all these years, she actually had us believing it was because she wanted to expand in her career, and become a producer and director of television films. Liar !

Movement on Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' divorce has stalled, after reports that the couple are at an "impasse" over their $250 million fortune.

"Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets," said a source. "Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer."

The insider adds that "With a significant amount of money at stake, Deborra-Lee is determined to get what she believes she deserves from the separation. She is using the fact that Hugh is still married and involved with another woman against him."

I moved to Philadelphia in 1999 from the South. It was like a candy store, compared to where I grew up. Atlanta and Nashville boys were great, but they weren't as interested in guys from there. Everybody wanted something from somewhere else, it seemed like to me.

Got to Philly with the remnants of my Southern accent. Sometimes I wonder if some of the dick I got was because I said "y'all did?" instead of "didjas?". I wasn't nearly as hot (at least in my mind) as those boys with the South Philly and South Jersey accent that still makes me weak in the knees. "Wooter"? Fine, I'll blow you.

He was just a kid.

Last night I noticed that his balcony door was wide open, with his dog roaming in and out. I assumed he went on a road trip or something and had just left his dog to his own devices. But the dog has indeed been barking since Saturday night, and in that plaintive yelp that dogs use when they are in distress. This morning when I saw that his balcony was still wide open, I considered notifying the concierge, but I didn't do it. I just thought he was an irresponsible dog owner.

Fast forward to this afternoon and two of his friends are pounding on his door. So I go outside and tell them that his balcony door has been wide open for a day. They insisted that nothing was wrong, even as they continued banging. About thirty minutes later, the two friends were outside the apartment bawling. One of them took the poor dog away. Now the police are here.

Just a kid. And this is some Kitty Genovese shit where this kid has at least four neighbors (including myself) who could have intervened. But none of us did.

This Wednesday is the premier of Season 37 and Phil's pants bulge. On CBS 9:30 EST after Survivor.

Those 14 teams will be competing on what is being called the “season of surprises” and will feature what the network is billing as “game-changing twists in every episode.” While that will include familiar game mechanics such as the Fast Forward and U-Turn, it will also debut a new wrinkle dubbed the Fork in the Road. When the teams arrive at the Fork in the Road during their very first leg in Hong Kong, they will “have to choose which direction and route they want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated.”

I remember that by the time the Bad and Dangerous albums came out, watching him in music videos was disturbing. He has made some incredible music videos but I think that the videos for “Bad” and “Black or White” would have been better if he looked like he did on Off The Wall.

A new thread where we can laugh at Joe Locke's tragic attempts to find acting work.

In her social media posts Thursday night, thanking fans for remembering her 83rd birthday, Barbra Streisand teased fans with a 'major announcement' coming on April 30. What, pray tell, can this big announcement be ?

The odds among fans favor the announcement will be she's releasing her long-awaited new studio album in the fall (most likely, at 83, the last album she'll be recording).

Many are saying it will be about her multi-part documentary and when it will be released.

Others are saying she's announcing another concert tour for this summer / the end of the year (doubtful, at 83).

Some are hoping a new movie - which will bookend her movie career (highly doubtful).

I think she'll announce she's closing her basement mall - too much competition from Amazon have driven tenants out.

I also think she may be announcing a 'special edition' of 'The Broadway Album' re-release to commemorate the 40th Anniversary in November.

Why does it work so well?

Cooper claims he was not conscious during the sexual assault and only realized what had happened when he woke up next to Tisci naked.

Do we know if Bill also has a thing for the homosex?

--------------

EXCLUSIVE: Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You) and Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu) are set to star in Mosquito Bowl, the first new film falling under Peter Berg‘s recently renewed deal with Netflix, on which we were first to report, sources tell Deadline.

Details as to the roles to be played by the two are under wraps. Based on Buzz Bissinger’s New York Times bestseller The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II, the film is set after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when four of America’s top college football stars set their fame aside to enlist in the Marines. As they prepare for the brutal invasion of Okinawa, they play in a legendary game featuring some of the greatest players in history – a game that, for many, will be the last they ever play.

Since his star-making run with projects including Purple Hearts, The Idea of You opposite Anne Hathaway and Mary & George opposite Julianne Moore, Galitzine has been tapped to lead Amazon’s new take on Masters of the Universe, also signing on to the studio’s Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie, and the starry indie 100 Nights of Hero. Upcoming, he’ll also be heard lending his voice to animated feature Wings of Freedom. He’s repped by the UK’s Curtis Brown Group, WME, Anonymous Content, Gang, Tyre, Ramer, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

Known for his transformational turns, Skarsgård most recently put his abilities on display in Robert Eggers’ Oscar-nominated Nosferatu, which came in as Focus Features’ second highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office, upon its Christmas Day debut. Currently, the actor can be seen starring opposite Anthony Hopkins in Locked, the new thriller from director David Yarovesky. Upcoming, he has Dead Man’s Wire from Gus Van Sant, Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood opposite Hugh Jackman, and IT: Welcome to Derry, where he reprises his breakout role as Pennywise the Clown. He is represented by WME, Magnolia Entertainment, Agentfirman Planthaber/Kildén/Mandic in Sweden, and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum.

We are watching LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM. Thus, the question.
