'Supergirl' Milly Alcock's most fearsome foe? Christian dads



The star of the upcoming "Supergirl" movie says she has one major weakness — and it isn't Kryptonite.

It's the online trolls.

'I'm actively trying not to engage — although how could you not?'

Super grrrl

In a recent Variety interview, Australian actress Milly Alcock talked about dealing with fan backlash — specifically reaction to comments she made about working on "Game of Thrones" prequel "House of the Dragon."

Speaking to "Vanity Fair" in March, the 26-year-old said the role "definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on," before adding, "We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women's bodies. I can't really stop them. I can only be myself."

Now Alcock says any fans who took this as some kind of feminist male-bashing are way off base.

“I didn’t even say ‘men’ — I said ‘people'! And they got so angry. I was like, ‘You’re proving my point. You’re proving my point!’”

While Alcock said she struggles not to let her haters get to her, she admitted that the "pain" of such interactions allow her to connect with her superhero character, who also has to navigate a dangerous world filled with evildoers.

Christian dads

For Alcock, what makes "online forums" especially dangerous is the "unhealthy relationship" they encourage users to have with celebrities.

Especially worrisome are the posters who — like most supervillains — disguise themselves.

"[P]eople whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone's name and then 'Dad of four, Christian,' which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you're pissing the right kind of people off, you're doing OK."

Child of the internet

Although Alcock's theory is that all comic-book movie characters let their fans down, it seems more likely that her later admission that she spends too much time online is the actual culprit.

While being described as a child of the internet who finds it really hard to put down her phone, Alcock said it was "because sometimes people reinforce beliefs that you have about yourself, and you're like, 'Now someone’s said it! It's true!' And you've got to remind yourself that it's not."

"Sitting at a café and watching people and reading alone — just being a participant in real life — has been helpful,” she told the outlet.

She chalked this behavior up to her age, despite having had major acting roles her entire adult life.

"I'm Gen Z! Yeah, I grew up online, so I'm actively trying not to engage — although how could you not?"

Kathleen Kennedy strikes again: New 'Star Wars' film sets worst record possible for Disney



Kathleen Kennedy may have left her post in January, but her influence is still being felt at Disney studio Lucasfilm.

The former studio president became synonymous with underperformance during her tenure and was often at odds with fans over her choices to feminize popular intellectual property.

Disney's break-even point for the film is somewhere between $500 million and $600 million for a worldwide gross.

Kennedy curse

At the time of her departure, Kennedy still had two films yet to be released, and one of those was "Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu," which opened on Memorial Day weekend.

While the film showed some promise with $33.8 million on opening night, attendance sunk to half by Memorial Day, concluding with about $82 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.

Disney had projected $97 million to $98 million for the four-day opening but got nowhere close. In fact, the movie now ranks below "Solo: A Star Wars Story" — which took in $84.4 million in its opening — as Disney's lowest "Star Wars" debut. To make matters worse, the "Solo" movie only had three days to attract fans to its opening rather than four.

For many people, that is a boatload of cash, but for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu," its worldwide total of $168 million is barely enough to recover its budget of an estimated $165 million.

Furthermore, Collider reported that Disney's break-even point for the film is somewhere between $500 million and $600 million for a worldwide gross. The Han Solo movie, for example, only made $393 million worldwide.

Vote Pedro?

Disney still has another Kennedy project slated for the same time next year with "Star Wars: Starfighter," set for release on May 28, 2027. Kennedy is credited as producer for that film, which features much bigger star power than the most recent flick, which included the outspoken activist Pedro Pascal.

Pascal has openly talked about helping co-stars with their gender journeys and comes from a staunch communist family in Chile.

"Star Wars: Starfighter," however, has more widely liked performers like Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams attached to the film.

Fan slander

Kennedy took "Star Wars" fans head-on during her time at the studio, even accusing them of attacking women who were unhappy with her productions.

In what has now become a trope, Kennedy blamed a "male-dominated" fanbase for the reason the show "The Acolyte" underperformed.

"I think a lot of the women who step into 'Star Wars' struggle with this a bit more. Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal," she said in 2024.

Kennedy noted that "anyone who engages in bigotry, racism, or hate speech ... I don't consider a fan."

Does 'Wheel of Fortune' hold the secret to a long-lasting marriage?



Husbands have a way of subtly revealing if their marriage will last, and the tell is broadcast on international TV, according to one amateur researcher.

An avid "Wheel of Fortune" viewer took in almost 2,000 episodes of the game show and seemingly found a distinct pattern in male contestants and how they speak about their wives.

'Could you imagine your husband going on national television and referring to you simply as his wife?'

Split decision

Across 1,950 episodes that aired between 2010 and 2019, a content creator called Joey Toks said he categorized male contestants into two categories. First, of the 2,855 male contestants, he took the 2,016 of them that mentioned their wives while introducing themselves to former host Pat Sajak and co-host Vanna White.

He then split the contestants into those who added a complimentary adjective about their wives and those who did not. Of the 1,660 men who complimented their wives, 91 of them, or 5.48%, got divorced within five years of the date the episode aired.

However, among the 356 men who did not compliment their wives, 55 of them had a confirmed divorce within five years of their episode airing, a staggering 15.45%.

Breadwinner boost

While the researcher admitted that the numbers consist of "full divorces that [he] could confirm" and that the data of course is "not perfect," it suggests that the rate at which those who were not complimentary toward their wives got divorced was triple the rate of those who did compliment them.

Further piling onto the non-complimentary husbands, the TV savant also pointed out how many of the men won more than $40,000.

Just 7% of the 185 complimentary husbands who took home big winnings got a divorce within five years of their victory.

Happy wife ...

At the same time, 17% of the men who did not use complimentary adjectives for their significant other had a full divorce within five years.

The complimentary men also won big at a rate three points higher than their counterparts (11.14% versus 8.14%).

"Could you imagine your husband going on national television and referring to you simply as his wife instead of his 'beautiful wife' or 'wonderful wife'?" the TikTok user asked.

In response, the official "Wheel of Fortune" TikTok account simply commented on the video, "Bruh."

Dennis Quaid Backs Spencer Pratt’s Bid For Mayor

'Just look around, man'

The one big liberal media lie about Spencer Pratt that no one is mentioning



Spencer Pratt is liberal Los Angeles’ favorite new villain.

The former "The Hills" star became an unlikely political gadfly after his house burned down in the January 2025 Palisades Fire. Ever since he launched his increasingly high-profile mayoral campaign, Hollywood’s liberal elite and the prestige media can’t resist conflating the man with the heel he played on the MTV series.

'That whole plot was scripted.'

But just because it's called "reality TV" doesn't mean it's real.

Apparently the smart set now needs a refresher in what it likes to call "media literacy."

Rube tube

In late April, Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" called Pratt "a candidate who makes white women over 40 go 'Oh yeah! That guy ... ew,'" while splicing together clips from the 2000s hit.

Host Ronny Chieng described Pratt as exhibiting "TV villain behavior."

Rolling Stone referred to Pratt as a villain several times in its piece on Pratt, quoting several lines from the show as evidence of his character.

Same goes for "nonprofit & nonpartisan" outlet Cal Matters, which said that being "a villain on a reality TV show" and having one's house burn down are not qualifications to become mayor of Los Angeles.

None of the 42-year-old candidate's detractors seem to have considered what most of us find obvious: "The Hills" was made up, and Pratt was playing a role.

Curtain call-out

For those who require proof, the show — which drew in 6 million viewers at its height — exposed its own artifice in its 2010 finale, with star Brody Jenner watching as the backdrop literally pulled away to reveal a set, complete with producers and lighting. Jenner's co-star then came out of a car that was shown to have driven away just seconds before.

So scripted was "The Hills" that producers even shot an alternate ending.

Pratt's wife, Heidi, has also copped to the show's lack of reality.

"That whole plot was scripted," she said about a storyline involving her job promotion.

"I pretend-worked there, so it was obviously a pretend promotion," she noted.

Cuba libre

Those scorning Pratt for his fictional villainy might also be surprised by the truth about other well-known "Hills" plots. Spencer dating Audrina? Whitney becoming Lauren's boss at Teen Vogue? "Totally fake."

In typical heel fashion, Pratt seems to relish the charges of villainy — even using them against his opponent, Mayor Karen Bass (D).

When former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna suggested Pratt's reality TV background disqualified him for office, Pratt shot back, "Hey Lisa, if you're against me because I was on a TV show in my 20's, wait til you learn what Karen Bass was doing in her 20's."

Pratt was referring to Bass’ involvement in the Venceremos Brigade, a far-left activist group tied to communist Cuba during the 1970s. The organization organized trips for young American radicals to work and train in Fidel Castro’s Cuba at the height of the Cold War, drawing everyone from Maoists to self-described revolutionaries into the orbit of the regime.

Bass has acknowledged traveling to Cuba multiple times with the group as a young activist, though she has downplayed suggestions that she held any leadership role.

Tony Hinchcliffe: Chelsea Handler's 'Nazi' insult is the brainchild of 'mentally ill liberals'



Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe says Los Angeles writers are living in an unfunny liberal bubble of mental illness, and that includes those who write for Chelsea Handler.

Hinchcliffe's reaction to Netflix's roast of Kevin Hart aired on Monday during his show "Kill Tony," which was filmed the day after he went head-to-head with Handler in front of the world.

'They just read what the writers wrote for them without any originality whatsoever.'

Heil Handler

During the roast, Handler called Hinchcliffe and fellow star Shane Gillis white supremacists and Nazis who would rather spend their time burning crosses, while Hinchcliffe poked fun at how the 51-year-old comedienne constantly brags about being childless and single.

Hinchcliffe wasted no time getting right into the good stuff on Monday, saying that the roast was the first time he had been "called a Nazi multiple times in just a few hours."

The Ohio native recalled that while everyone human he has interacted with told him his performance was "unbelievable," fake news media was busy trying to convince the general public otherwise.

"There's news articles — because the news isn't real. Nothing is real — that say that I got lit up by Chelsea Handler, which is very, very funny because that's not what happened at all."

The "Kill Tony" host described Handler as a "c**t" who "just kept coming at me" despite making false claims like he had taken money from Saudi Arabia.

"The teleprompter only went down during my set," Hinchcliffe recalled. "And it gave me a lot of opportunity to remind Chelsea Handler what she looks like and where her life is, because she had it coming."

Bubble-brained

Hinchcliffe blamed Handler's lack of creativity on her writers, describing L.A. writing circles as "a lot of mentally ill liberals" who call him a Nazi but somehow can't tell that his show is performed with a bunch of "blacks and Jews and Mexicans" around him. Hinchcliffe was referring to his trio of Mexican brass musicians, his Mexican drummer, and his black keyboard player and black guitarist (who is also blind).

"I guess I'm a f**king Nazi somehow," Hinchcliffe added. "I guess the guy that pulls names out of a bucket, giving everybody an opportunity, is a Nazi. Isn't that something?"

Hinchcliffe described those putting racist labels on him as people who have "never written anything in their lives," summing them up as being cue-card and teleprompter readers.

"They just read what the writers wrote for them without any originality whatsoever," he explained. While some of the others are good writers, the 41-year-old admitted, "the rest of them are just living in a bubble of mental illness, and it's very exciting."

Roast redux

While Hinchcliffe disagreed with the idea that comedians like Handler should go first in the broadcast, he said it gave him the opportunity to watch what she was doing and prepare for the onslaught he was about to deliver.

Hinchcliffe paraphrased that even though he "got called a Nazi, gay, [and] a racist over and over again," he is "none of those three things," but those he made fun of are in fact "fat, ugly, black, [or] Jewish."

The "Kill Tony" crowd went wild after those comments, as Hinchcliffe concluded, "Anyway, it was fun."

'Relyable' care: YouTuber Danny Mullen exposes empty LA building with 89 licensed hospices raking in $38M



A hospice fraud problem is spiraling out of control in California.

There have already been several investigations into the problem, both from federal agencies and independent journalists who have exposed sprawling complexes and buildings all focused on the same thing.

'Nobody there in person. Nobody answering the phones.'

Diagnosis: Fraud

An April, a Los Angeles Times report identified a "well-known" building housing 89 licensed hospices. This reportedly included a hospice operator charged with six felony counts who allegedly illegally took $2.5 million from the federal government by using collective signatures of retirees to enroll them in hospice.

The two-story building in the Van Nuys area of L.A. billed more than $38 million to Medicare in 2023 in total, the report stated, and the same building was the basis for YouTuber Danny Mullen's recent video.

Mullen, along with podcast co-host and fellow comedian Leo Dottavio, visited the building to find it nearly vacant, save for people operating unrelated businesses.

"A lot of these hospice businesses had numbers on the door promising 24-hour on-call customer service. So, we rang them up," Mullen said in the video. "Nobody there in person. Nobody answering the phones."

'Relyable' sources

Most of their calls went to voicemail, some of the numbers had no inbox set up, and some were no longer in service, but one business that misspelled "reliable" as "relyable" did answer the phone.

The man who answered, whose number was allegedly listed on the business' door, told Mullen and Dottavio, "I don't know what you're talking about," and also that he was "not interested" in taking on a hospice patient.

"Whose hospice, man?" he added, before later calling back to tell the content creators, "I think you called the wrong number."

The man later called back a second time, asking who gave them his number.

"F**k you, man," the voice is heard telling Dottavio, despite Dottavio informing him the number was listed in public.

Nobody home

In January, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that California could be worse than Minnesota when it comes to fraud. Oz said that hospice fraud in the state is not only related to mafia and gang activity, but also involves human trafficking.

In March, YouTuber Nick Shirley investigated a plethora of businesses, including an entire complex, relating to possible hospice fraud. Shirley knocked on the doors of multiple businesses that appeared to be vacant. The same goes for Mullen and Dottavio; none of the alleged hospice businesses they visited at the aforementioned building were occupied at the time.

One man told the duo, "No one is here today," but did not seem to provide a reason as to why the vast majority of the building was empty.

'Hot' Chelsea Handler digs up dirt from Tony Hinchcliffe, Shane Gillis ex-files



Television host Chelsea Handler said she knows exactly what comedians Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe are like behind closed doors after allegedly talking to their ex-girlfriends.

In addition to throwing insults at the two stars in a recent interview, Handler also talked about how her promiscuity is justifiable so long as she is "hot."

'I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm hot.'

'Gross vibe'

The 51-year-old said she knew there was going to be a "gross vibe" at the Kevin Hart roast, and she blamed Gillis and Hinchcliffe for setting the mood.

Handler told podcast host Deon Cole that she had Gillis' and Hinchcliffe's ex-girlfriends "blowing up" her inbox to tell her about them, which led her to the conclusion, "Oh, these guys are pretty bad."

Handler followed her game of telephone by stating that what she was told confirmed "everything we know" about the two comedians.

"That they're racist, that they're bigots, that they're sexist, you know, that they think they're, like, invincible," Handler claimed.

Gillis "believes — this is per one of his exes — that he's invincible. He's like, 'Doesn't matter. I can say anything I want,'" Handler said.

Despite claiming the duo's jokes at the Netflix roast were "gross" and filled with "disgustingness," Handler described herself as the same as the two comedians, but a female version.

"I don't care if these guys say that I'm a whore. Like, I'm doing exactly what they're doing, except I'm a woman and I'm allowed to. ... I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm hot. So I'm f**king people."

Sex machine

After receiving confirmation of her empowerment from the host, Handler reaffirmed that her age would not stop her from having a lot of sexual partners.

"That's what I'm going to do. And I'm going to continue to keep doing that as long as, you know, I remain as f**kable as I am," she claimed.

Handler took a hard stance against roast jokes Gillis and Hinchcliffe made about race, "lynching," and black comedian Sheryl Underwood's deceased husband. At the same time, though, she admitted that even though many black people — including Underwood herself — did not get offended by the jokes, she still found it "gross."

"I'm not here to tell black people what's funny about black jokes," Handler told Cole.

"That's my opinion. I don't like that. I also don't like the N-word, but I have plenty of black friends who toss that around all the time. It's not my place to say, 'Oh, that word makes me feel uncomfortable.' You know, black people are allowed to do whatever they want."

Offensive line

Handler's interview was posted on Wednesday, but so was an appearance by Underwood on Gillis' podcast. Not only had Gillis previously revealed that Underwood immediately approved his jokes when he called her ahead of the roast, but she told Gillis to his face that she did not want anyone to be offended on her behalf.

"Don't be offended for me if I'm not offended. But be offended for your point of view," she told Gillis and co-host Matt McCusker. "You can have your point of view; we're not saying you can't have it."

Donald Trump Tosses Stephen Colbert Into A Dumpster In Edited Video

President Donald Trump took out the trash his own way

Actress Ilana Glazer attacks women's sports advocate Riley Gaines: 'You're just stealing money'



Emmy award winner Ilana Glazer described former NCAA swimmer turned anti-trans activist Riley Gaines as delusional for her campaign to keep biological men out of women's sports.

In a podcast posted Thursday, Glazer and her guest Matt Bernstein continually insulted Gaines while simultaneously saying she is part of a cruel, right-wing grifter movement.

'She is mad she lost fifth place in a swimming competition to a trans woman.'

Bernstein, a makeup artist and activist who refers to himself as a "queer Jew with long nails," gleefully insulted Gaines on the podcast "It's Open with Ilana Glazer," while calling the former NCAA swimmer a bully.

All wet

Bernstein said Gaines has been "grifting millions of dollars" for years through "bullying people with no societal capital."

Glazer then chimed in to refer to specific "right-wing people" as "sociopathic" before jumping all over Gaines. After referring to topics surrounding Gaines as "garbage," Glazer boiled the athlete's work down to being mad that she "lost fifth place."

"She is mad she lost fifth place in a swimming competition to a trans woman," she added.

Gaines tied William "Lia" Thomas — a man — for fifth place in the 2022 NCAA women's 200-yard freestyle final. The two failed to mention that Thomas also won the women's 500-yard freestyle final, making him a national women's champion.

Thomas was also famously ranked as low as No. 554 when competing in men's NCAA swimming, as opposed to reaching No. 1 against women.

Shallow end

Gaines' work resulted in an executive order to keep women's sports for women only, but Glazer described the activism as "so stupid."

"That is so uncreative. That's literally stealing," Glazer said, likening Gaines' work to "anti-trans messaging, which genuinely leads to violence against trans women."

With significant vocal fry, Bernstein then stated that Gaines and other women's rights activists ignore "statistics or reality or truth" and instead profit off "the most minoritized people" in the country, referring to men who think they are women.

Nice Gaines

Bernstein did correctly characterize early comments from Gaines, however. In a 2022 interview with the Daily Wire shortly after her competition, Gaines said about Thomas, "I am in full support of her and full support of her transition and her swimming career and everything like that."

She added, "because there's no doubt that she works hard too, but she's just abiding by the rules that the NCAA put in place, and that's the issue."

Bernstein concluded that it was the right thing to do for Gaines to simply "move on" and ultimately wish Thomas well.

Glazer then described Gaines as having a "money-making scheme" that has now merged with "some new semblance of reality that she was robbed."
