As you remember, Samantha Bee was one of the first — if not the first person — to publicly call out Donald Trump’s administration about the family separation policy (remember the “feckless c*nt” comment thrown at Ivanka Trump?) In any matter, Bee did a reprise of her song as she addressed Trump signing the executive order that stopped the separation of children from their parents at the Southern border. All is good, right? Well, not really.
In her Full Frontal opening… Read
After Donald Trump signed an executive order ending his family separation policy, he held a campaign rally in Duluth, Minn. While his loyal MAGA followers cheered him on, Fox News made it known that they were the only ones airing the rally.
The news network blatantly called out other networks during the broadcast of the rally with a chyron that said, "Trump rally live & only on Fox News, other networks ignore presidential rally.”
In addition to the jabs thrown at other… Read
Donald Trump has always been a shameless liar, but took it to a new level this week with his administration’s defenses of his cruel family separation policy, Seth Meyers said.
Trump’s only political skill is his total and complete lack of shame. “His malignant narcissism allows him to confidently and brazenly lie in a way that most other politicians would be too embarrassed to even try,” Meyers explained.

Moe Berg was a so-so Major League Baseball player, but it was his other talents that helped him score for the home team on a daring mission during World War II. That story has been brought to the screen by director Ben Lewin (Sessions) and screenwriter Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan), basing their largely true account of these events on the bestselling book by Nicolas Dawidoff. Using a noirish style representative of certain films of the 1940s era in which this is set… Read

It’s been an extraordinary confluence of events. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane’s Saturday tweet slamming Fox News for their “fringe” appeals to viewers to not believe any other news organizations was quickly magnified by the conservative news channel’s coverage of the immigrant child separation crisis.
As the network’s hosts and talking heads continued to largely support the policy against growing public outrage over it, more and more current and former Fox… Read

Even though the last episode of One Tree Hillaired in April 2012, the teen drama series — which ran 9 seasons — still resonates with their diehard fans as they are chomping at the bit for some sort of a reunion. One Tree Hill alums James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti are doing exactly that…in their own special way.

Dylan McDermott is known for plenty of TV roles, but most have been in the dramatic sphere. From The Practice to American Horror Story to Stalker, his past gigs aren’t exactly lighthearted and fun. During Deadline’s The Contenders Emmys event, he said he “knew it was time” to make that transition from drama into comedy with LA to Vegas.
“I have done too much darkness,” said McDermott, who previously worked with the show’s producer Will Ferrell on the comedy The Campaign.… Read
