Drew Barrymore's now-deleted, crying apology video is just more virtue signaling



Hollywood sweetheart Drew Barrymore has joined the ranks of the canceled.

Despite the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, which began in May, the actress and talk show host was planning to return to screening her show, “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

While she initially claimed her show complied with strike rules, she was met with huge backlash from social media users who suggested she was not standing in solidarity with the cause.

Now, Barrymore has issued a tearful, selfie apology.

“This is bigger than me, and there are other people’s jobs on the line,” Barrymore told the camera through tears. “I deeply apologize to writers. I deeply apologize to unions. I deeply apologize.”

“I wanted to own a decision so that it wasn’t a PR protected situation and I would just take full responsibility for my actions,” she said. “I know there’s just nothing I can do that will make this okay for those it is not okay with.”

Dave Rubin thinks it’s completely ridiculous.

“Do you see how insane this is? She did what she thought was right, right? She did what she thought was right for herself or the other people on her shows,” Rubin says.

“It’s all these other people who want to go back to work, but then, ‘I have to deeply apologize.’ It’s one thing to say, 'I deeply apologize to the writers,' right?” he continues, noting that her apology to the unions sounds like something a sellout would say.

“All right, lady, they’re gonna hate you no matter what you do,” he adds.

New artificial intelligence will allow REGULAR PEOPLE to star in movies — Hollywood actors are TERRIFIED



Artificial intelligence has long been a polarizing concept, with some finding it exciting and innovative, while others remain leery of the technology’s potential to make humans obsolete.

As time moves on, it seems more and more people are joining the latter group.

Ironically, Hollywood — a paradigm of progressivism — seems to be growing increasingly fearful of what AI could mean for the actors and writers in the industry.

Glenn Beck notes that one of the things that makes "Mission Impossible" special is that “[Tom Cruise] was really in … the helicopter,” and he really rode an actual motorcycle off an actual cliff.

“That adds something” that can’t be replicated by AI, he says.

Stu Burguiere references a tweet from Justine Bateman, actor, writer, producer, and sister of famous actor Jason Bateman, in which she warned against the use of “AI-written scripts” and “digitally scanned actors — image and/or voice.”

“Some talent agencies,” Bateman says, “are already recruiting actors to be scanned.”

Not only does this degrade the actors’ talents and abilities, but it also opens a Pandora’s box of possibilities.

With this new technology, viewers can request a film starring “Billy Murray” that’s “about a panda and a unicorn who saved the world in a rocket ship,” Bateman writes.

But it doesn’t stop there.

According to Bateman’s statement, viewers can also request to have themselves scanned and inserted into movies so that “their face [is] on Luke Skywalker’s body and their ex-wife’s face [is] on Darth Vader’s body.”

“This is going to be a really weird world,” Stu says.

Here’s what’s WRONG with modern comedy according to Adam DeVine and Theo Von



Actors and writers in Hollywood are angry about a number of things. Unfair wages, fear of AI taking over the industry, and concerns about health care and pensions are the three main causes of the strike.

However, some actors have a fourth grievance to air: wokeness.

Actor Adam DeVine joins comedian Theo Von to discuss what’s wrong with modern comedy.

“There used to be something like … 45 or 46 comedies in the theaters every year,” DeVine tells Von, but “last year, there was only like six or seven.”

“The crazy thing is it feels like people need comedy more than ever,” Von adds.

DeVine just starred in a comedy called "The Out-Laws," which hit Netflix on July 7, and he loves the film because it’s all hilarity and zero brainwashing – “There’s no hidden message,” he says.

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for people to “get to the end of what [they thought was] a comedy” only to discover that the film was actually “about global warming,” DeVine continues.

“Oh! The moon is trans?” Von jokes. “Is that the surprise ending?”

“Once you allow [wokeness] in, it will destroy the whole freaking thing,” Dave Rubin comments.
