Sick of me yet? Pompous pest Pascal in desperate race to make America hate him



Pedro Pascal has a Rachel Zegler problem, and he doesn’t even know it.

The ubiquitous actor (he’s in four movies and a TV show this year alone) is set to play Reed Richards in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” on July 25. The Marvel Comics supergroup previously hit theaters in several lackluster films, most recently the 2015 dud starring Miles Teller.

Rob Reiner’s reign as the ultimate Trump derangement victim may be over.

So plenty is riding on this reboot of a reboot. Enter Pascal, who can’t stop making incendiary comments to alienate potential ticket buyers. Remember how he compared Trump voters to Nazis?

See the Zegler connection?

Pascal recently attacked J.K. Rowling for the crime of defending women against trans women in sports. Does he regret his profanity-laced rant against the author?

Nope. Per Variety:

"The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, 'Am I helping? Am I f**king helping?'" Pascal told [Vanity Fair]. "It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f**king sick."

If “The Fantastic Four” underwhelms at the box office, Pascal may find his opportunities to offer such "help" rapidly disappearing.

He/his/has-been

They’s ba-ack!

Actor Ezra Miller resurfaced this week, announcing plans to co-write and star in a vampire movie co-created by filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. The actor, who switched to they/them pronouns mid-career, made all the worst headlines in recent years.

Miller’s rap sheet would make Alec Baldwin blush.

The star’s breakout film, 2023’s “The Flash,” flopped. That gave Hollywood permission to quietly cancel the nonbinary star.

Miller is penning a comeback story. Here’s betting audiences won’t care no matter how Miller refers to himself/themself ...

Rosie takes Trump derangement crown

Rob Reiner’s reign as the ultimate Trump derangement victim may be over. The once-mighty director behind “Misery,” “The Princess Bride,” and “This Is Spinal Tap” admitted he sought therapy following President Donald Trump’s 2024 victory.

Enter the new TDS queen, Rosie O’Donnell.

Not only did “The Flintstones” star flee America for Ireland following November 5, she can’t get her longtime nemesis out of her head. She recently suggested a recount to make extra sure Trump won in November.

Now, she’s admitting Trump’s revival had other effects on her.

“I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking,” O’Donnell told Cuomo. “It hurt my heart that America believed the lies about him. And then it broke my heart to be in a business that creates and sells those lies for profit.”

Your move, Reiner ...

Late night host's Mamdani mania

Seth Meyers is all in on socialism.

If that wasn’t clear by his past monologues, the former “Saturday Night Live” player made it clear via his love for New York’s Zohran Mamdani — the avowed socialist whose surprise primary victory over Andrew Cuomo Tuesday gives him a great shot at being New York City's next mayor.

See, fellow Democrats. You don’t have to shift to the center. Go the full Mamdani! And if that means diminishing October 7 or embracing the kind of "wealth redistribution" that always leads to breadlines, all the better!

“The point is, Bernie's right. Bernie’s right," gushed Meyers. "All we have is each other."

"And to the liberals who are always saying we need a liberal Joe Rogan: Are you seeing this?" the desk-chair revolutionary continued. "It turns out all you need to do is be more like Bernie Sanders. There's no secret trick. You just need to be genuine. You need to run on ideas that will improve people's lives.”

Just ask the fine folks of Chicago, currently wilting under another socialist regime. Let’s see how long before Mayor Mamdani’s poll numbers reach 14% like Chicago’s own Brandon Johnson ...

Moron Maron misses mark

Poor Marc Maron.

The far-left comedian had a meltdown on his “WTF Podcast” this week, bemoaning how anti-woke comedians had won the culture war.

He’s right. Mostly.

Need proof? Bert Kreischer just snagged a Netflix sitcom and Shane Gillis will host the upcoming ESPYS telecast.

That leaves Maron, who recently announced the end of his long-running podcast, bemoaning that cancel culture no longer silences stand-up.

Comedians against comedy. Good riddance, Marc ...

'Bond' boon

Oh, and “Dune” director Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film. That’s the first good 007 news in so long we forget the last item.

No Irish goodbye for Trump-triggered Rosie



Rosie O’Donnell did what many celebrities promised but never accomplished this year. She left the U.S. due to President Donald Trump 2.0.

If only Cher would take a hint.

Wait … it’s neither TV nor HBO. It’s … Max? Who’s this Max fella, anyway? Is he dating Carrie Bradshaw?

Sadly, the real estate mogul is still living rent-free in O’Donnell’s head, even though said head now lies on a pillow in Ireland, her new home.

The former comic can’t stop ranting about Trump on social media, where she fits right in with the other TDS victims. This time, she doubled down on the farcical notion that he stole the 2024 election, something even the conspiracy-theory-addled souls over at MSNBC and “The View” won’t say.

At least not out loud.

“If he admits one more time that the election was rigged… I mean why is he allowed to admit this over and over again, and no one does anything about it? It’s very obvious that it was.”

Oh, and she claims Trump is suffering from dementia. Yes, she made the claim during the same week a flood of book excerpts detail just how impaired President Joe Biden was during his one disastrous term.

It seems O’Donnell isn’t far away enough from Trump in Ireland to escape his orbit. Maybe she should join astronaut Katy Perry on her next moon flight …

Max off

Remember HBO? It’s not TV; it’s HBO, the pay channel told us in its heyday. Then, inexplicably, HBO became Max. Why? Ask the marketing whizzes who probably made themselves a pretty penny with the name change and, in the process, left millions confused.

Wait … it’s neither TV nor HBO. It’s … Max? Who’s this Max fella, anyway? Is he dating Carrie Bradshaw?

Now, Warner Bros. Discovery is ending the chaos. Sort of. The pay channel and streaming service will now be known as HBO Max.

Let’s label it New Coke and call it a day …

Fox faces 'Fear'

Bulls beware! NBC’s most nauseating game show is being rebooted.

“Fear Factor,” famously hosted by Joe Rogan, is getting a new life courtesy of Fox. Everything old is slightly less old again in Hollywood.

We don’t have firm details yet, although Fox suits hope the podcaster will be part of the new series in some capacity. Don’t hold your breath. Does he really want to watch contestants wolf down bull testicles and other gag-inducing “foods” like he did during the show’s glory days?

Besides, we saw an unofficial “Fear Factor” reboot last year. Wannabe president Kamala Harris was offered the chance to appear on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast but chickened out at the last minute …

Loudmouth Leslie

Maybe Leslie Jones is still angry about her “Lady Ghostbusters” reboot flopping in spectacular fashion. That would explain the alleged comic’s return to “The Daily Show” this week. Jones launched into a tirade against all things GOP.

What’s up, y’all, did you miss me? Because I definitely have an opinion. I got a problem with these Trump folks. It's not that they’re corrupt, although they are. It's not that they're evil, although they are. It's not that they are women-hating, racist, unqualified d***heads who couldn't run a Dunkin' Donuts without burning it down. No, my problem is these people are goofy-a** mother[bleep]!”

It only got more intellectual from there ….

Cruise control

They don’t call him the Last Movie Star for nothing.

Tom Cruise is out promoting “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” this month, and he got dragged into tariff-palooza by an intrepid journalist in South Korea. The question?

“We all are aware of the tariffs that President Donald Trump has been imposing on overseas productions and films. So is this particular movie under that tariff? And how much of the film was shot overseas?”

At this point, a Sean Penn or Robert De Niro would have launched into a jeremiad against Herr Trump, complete with references to concentration camps and the end of democracy.

Not the Last Movie Star.

“We’d rather answer questions about the movie. Thank you.”

Simple. Direct. Refreshing. Somewhere, Rachel Zegler is taking furious notes. Or at least we hope so..

'Boss' baby

And Bruce Springsteen launched into his own tirade against President Donald Trump during a recent stop on his European tour. Experts predict it could have serious repercussions for the 2024 presidential election.

Rosie O'Donnell moves to Ireland to spite Trump; claims America has no 'equal rights'



When Donald Trump secured the presidency in 2016, Hollywood celebrities vowed to leave the country — but very few, if any — kept their promise.

This time, they’re finally making good on it.

“I’m here in Ireland, and it’s beautiful and warm. Not physically, it’s actually quite cold. I moved here on January 15, and it’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving, and so kind, so welcoming, and I’m very grateful,” actress Rosie O’Donnell said in a selfie video posted to social media.


“I’m in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents. I was never someone who thought I would move to another country. That’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child,” she continued, before getting political.

“I miss so many things about life there at home, and when you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” she concluded.

While Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” could care less that O’Donnell has fled the country, she does wonder what “equal rights” O’Donnell feels she has lost.

“What rights do you not have? I wish they would just name one. You always hear that talking point, but I haven’t heard what the right is that you’re saying that you don’t have. That never comes after that,” Gonzales says.

“The right to have totalitarian control,” Dallas County GOP Chairman Lt. Col. Allen West says, joking, but serious.

“That has to be it,” Gonzales agrees. “I’m so sorry that Donald Trump is cleaning up the streets, arresting violent criminals, and deporting violent criminals.”

“Did you see that inflation graph from today on CNN, Rosie? That’s going way down. Yeah, it’s terrible that he’s like eliminating fraud and corruption from the government, saving Americans tax dollars,” she continues.

While O’Donnell seems thrilled with her decision, her move was put on blast — and even laughed at by Ireland’s prime minister.

“Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people, great attitude, many in this room right now,” White House correspondent Brian Glenn said to the prime minister as he met with President Trump.

“Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland if she’s going to lower your happiness levels?” Glenn asked.

“It’s true,” Trump responded, adding, “Thank you, I like that question,” as the prime minister laughed.

Trump flames Rosie O’Donnell when asked about exodus to Ireland

'It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically'

Eau de Trump intoxicates Jill — but late-night losers still stink



Can someone check in on Rosie O’Donnell?

The former host of “The View” isn’t taking President Donald Trump’s re-election well. She’s far from alone. At least the comedienne didn’t check herself into a facility a la Rob Reiner.

Who wouldn’t want to be orphaned after watching your parents get gunned down by a common street thug? So much privilege!

Although maybe that would have saved her from broadcasting her paranoid meltdown on TikTok.

Her most recent post finds O’Donnell oversharing about a possible cold sore, complaining about MAGA members “taunting” her and looking much worse for the wear.

Still, she's less painful to watch than the boorish Sunny Hostin — or anyone else on "The View."

Colbert gets that not-so-fresh feeling

Even an avowed Trump hater like O’Donnell must have smiled at the president-elect’s newest troll move.

Trump shared news about a branded cologne product on Truth Social, using a recent photograph to help sell it.

The image? A snapshot of first lady Jill Biden looking at Trump with a sort of adoration. The real estate mogul, never one to miss a marketing opportunity, used the photograph in a cheeky attempt to sell some product.

Funny, funny stuff. Unless you’re a late-night talk show host, that is.

Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon all took turns swatting Trump for the hilarious move. Kimmel’s weak-tea response?

“He had to use that picture because he doesn’t have a picture of his own wife smiling at him.”

Colbert’s crack?

“In response, Dr. Biden used the photo to sell her new line of pepper spray.”

Slightly better, but still lame.

Trump can do plenty of things, but we’d love it if he could make Late Night Great Again …

Now please 'mansplain' why we should care

Bill Maher and actor Zachary Levi agreed to disagree ... a lot ... during their recent chat on the comedian’s “Club Random” podcast. Maher repeatedly lauded the “Shazam!” alum for his intelligence and demeanor, with both men clearly having a blast in the thoughtful exchange.

Tell that to Laura Benanti. The Broadway actress, who mocks former and future first lady Melania Trump on “The Late Show,” slammed Levi on a recent podcast interview. She said everyone enjoys his company but not her.

“'He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not. He’s sucking up all the f***ing energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybody’s part to them.'”

Easy, Laura — we already love Zach. No need to hype him up even more ...

Focker shocker

Just when we thought the world was healing, we get an uppercut from Hollywood Inc.

Yes, Trump’s Cabinet picks appear primed for Senate approval, Daniel Penny is a free man, and woke is on the run.

But we still have another Fockers movie to endure.

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro will reportedly reunite for a fourth “Meet the Parents” film. The first movie proved delightful, with De Niro playing against his tough-guy screen shtick.

By the time “Little Fockers” came around in 2010, we begged for the sweet release of death. Now, this ...

Who's Hugh

Hugh Grant became a star thanks to witty turns in films like “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” The term “foppish” became glued to his brand, from his floppy do to his stammering shtick.

At 64, Grant is no longer the British beau but a versatile, in-demand character actor. Last year, he played a puckish Oompa Loompa in “Wonka.” Now, he’s the dangerous neighbor putting two Mormon missionaries through their paces in “Heretic.”

The film features blood, gore, and more, along with tricky conversations about faith. It’s hardly a tale to be shared at a post-church chat, but it gets the genre job done. And according to the Golden Globes, it falls smack in the middle of the comedy or musical category.

Yes, the head-scratching awards group gave Grant a Best Actor, Comedy or Musical nomination. Somewhere, Pia Zadora is smiling ...

Activate the bat (virtue) signal!

We can’t get enough of Batman stories, but the scribe behind a new "Dark Knight" story thinks Bruce Wayne deserves a lecture on privilege.

That’s liberal DC Comics writer Tom Taylor, who has the Man of Steel tut-tutting Wayne over his wealth and white skin in the new "Detective Comics #1091."

Superman is right, of course. Who wouldn’t want to be orphaned after watching your parents get gunned down by a common street thug? So much privilege!

Superman better watch out — this DEI nonsense has proved to be kryptonite to many an iconic brand.

Rosie O'Donnell reveals she's a loser even in her preferred post-election alternate reality



Former comedian Rosie O'Donnell was one of the many liberals who decided to film and share their meltdowns over President Donald Trump's landslide victory this week.

O'Donnell suggested in a Wednesday TikTok video that Kamala Harris' crushing defeat signaled again the need for a radical transformation of the American republic, namely the abolition of the Electoral College. Trump secured 312 electoral votes Tuesday, and Harris managed to nab only 226 votes.

It appears the grieving Trump critic was unaware that even without that institution, which enhances the status of minority interests and prompts political candidates to appeal to the whole of the nation as opposed to a few populous coastal states, she still would have ended up crying on TikTok.

O'Donnell's video was captioned, "I remain stunned and kinda numb #thankyoukamalaharris," with the addition, "resist fascism #neverforget" — an apparent attempt to draw a parallel between Trump's success and the Holocaust.

Holding back tears, the 62-year-old Trump critic, who celebrated the Republican president's felony conviction earlier this year, said, "So what can we say? We watched Kamala do her speech — must have been very difficult to do — and Claire McCaskill crying on 'Deadline White House' with Nicolle Wallace, and so many touching videos from people today talking about how to take care of yourself when you're, you know, overwhelmed and stressed and scared."

"Get ready," said O'Donnell, "because we're in for one hell of a ride with him at the helm and no immunity guardrails."

Hours before the former comedian posted her video, the markets surged in response to Trump's win — the first time the Dow jumped over 1,000 points in a single day since November 2022.

Midway through the video, O'Donnell said, "How about we get rid of the Electoral College? Does that — anybody like that? Anyone? I'm not so sure any more. It's a popular vote. That's what we need to do. Who gets the most votes wins. One vote, one person. No racist math in the equation. Okay?

"That's what I'd like to do," continued O'Donnell. "Spend my life doing that, right. Find a cause you believe in and go right for it."

'Who is going to tell her?'

President Trump not only won a landslide victory where it counts — the Electoral College — but also became the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote. At the time of publication, Decision Desk HQ indicated that Trump had nearly 73 million votes — 4,637,738 million more votes than Harris. The difference roughly amounts to the population of Louisiana.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis noted, "The scope of the victory — electoral swing state domination, popular vote victory, and a Republican-controlled Senate — represents a decisive rejection of the Biden-Harris administration."

Critics online poked fun at O'Donnell's failure to appreciate that her advocacy would likely not have prevented another Trump victory.

"Who is going to tell her?" wrote one X user.

The Pittsburgh-based sports commentator John Steigerwald asked, "Is she still in favor of packing the Supreme Court?"

Handmaid's fail: Hillary stumps for Jennifer Lawrence's new pro-abortion documentary



It’s time for more “Handmaid’s Tale” cosplay, courtesy of Hillary Clinton.

No, this isn’t about the hip Halloween costume for the progressive on the go. It’s the former first lady pushing her favorite fear narrative. Trump 2.0 will make “The Handmaid’s Tale” a reality!

The recent Venice Film Festival screening for Pedro Almodovar's 'The Room Next Door' earned a 17-minute standing ovation. Seventeen minutes! Not even Kim Jong Un does those kinds of numbers.

Just like he did(n't do) the first time.

The Teflon Don in a pantsuit dropped by the Telluride Film Festival to promote her new pro-abortion documentary, “Zurawski v. Texas.” And yes, she name-checked the dystopian tale in the process.

“I don’t think we can underestimate how important this film is in order to break through the eye-rolling, the denial, the dismissiveness, the cruelty that has affected so many women’s lives in our country today.”

But enough about dragging Monica Lewinsky’s name through the mud …

Adele farewell

Goodbye, Adele?

The pop superstar warned fans at a recent concert that she’s about to take a break. A big break.

“I will not see you for an incredibly long time,” Adele told her fans during a concert in Vegas.

Does this mean four more years of Trump?

Just remember that celebrities measure time differently. For them, one day out of the spotlight is the equivalent of six regular-person months ...

Jenna nixes 'Edith Scissorhands'

A woke Hollywood starlet just made sense. Stop the presses!

Rising star Jenna Ortega stars in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," the belated follow-up to director Tim Burton’s 1988 classic.

Would she be game for another Tim Burton project, like a female-led take on “Edward Scissorhands”? a progressive journo asked.

She didn’t take the bait.

“I love that there’s a lot more female leads nowadays, I think that’s so special, but we should have our own. … I don’t like it when it’s like a spin-off — I don’t want to see like ‘Jamie Bond.’ You know? I want to see another badass.”

Like “Furiosa”? That “Mad Max-less” prequel underperformed earlier this summer. And any attempt to make James Bond a female superspy might all but crush the decades-old franchise.

Even a twentysomething starlet knows better than the woke journalist in question …

Amy Adams unleashed

It’s safe to say Hollywood content isn’t all rah-rah about stay-at-home motherhood. “Nightbitch” might be the logical conclusion to that brand of thinking. And yes, that’s the film’s real title.

Oscar nominee Amy Adams plays a stressed-out mother (of one!) who turns into a wolf-like creature at night under extreme duress. The trailer plays up every fourth-wave feminist trope possible for what could be the most unintentionally hilarious film to cap the year. It drops in December.

Then again, trailers can be deceiving, and Adams can be particular about her film projects. Still, it’s hard not to be a tad suspicious after watching this two-minute howler.

Trump conspiracy theories? Rosie's all ears

Rosie O’Donnell is stirring things up on TikTok.

No, the former “The View” co-host isn’t crashing a White Dudes for Harris party. She’s sharing unhinged conspiracy theories about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. According to Professor O’Donnell, it’s unlikely a bullet hit the former president’s ear.

Why? Because she loathes Trump and can’t bear the fact that he stared down an assassination attempt so bravely. And perhaps, she’s bored and wants a new gig.

Or even an old one.

Heck, if O’Donnell wanted back on “The View,” all she had to do was ask. This unofficial audition is beneath her …

Hollywood claptrap

The film biz can be a tad bit insincere. Not exactly breaking news, but there it is.

Even by La La Land standards, the “standing ovation” shtick is getting old.

What’s that? Movies debuting at tony film festivals receive a standing ovation after each screening. This isn’t ordinary praise. It’s a calculated move based on buzz, a film’s entertainment value, and who knows what else.

And it can go on … and on … and on.

The recent Venice Film Festival screening for Pedro Almodovar's “The Room Next Door” earned a 17-minute standing ovation. Seventeen minutes? Not even Kim Jong Un does those kinds of numbers.

'They lied': Rosie O'Donnell holds nothing back over East Palestine disaster, reminds Americans of EPA's history



You know it's bad when they've lost Rosie O'Donnell.

In a video posted to TikTok, the liberal comedian skewered the Biden administration's response to the East Palestine train derailment, which she called "a tragedy of epic proportion."

Specifically, O'Donnell, an unenthusiastic Biden supporter, targeted the Environmental Protection Agency over what she believes has been an apathetic response.

"I've been reading all the news about this horrible train derailment and chemical spill — toxic poisoning — in Ohio. Fish dying, chickens dying and animals getting sick, and people getting sick, and then the EPA comes out with a very non-alarmist 'Everything's OK; don't worry about a thing' statement, and it's infuriating," she said.


O'Donnell said she does not trust the EPA, especially after 9/11. Infamously, the EPA declared Ground Zero was safe, free of health hazards.

That, however, tragically turned out false. More people, in fact, have died from cancer and medical problems related to the attacks and their hazardous aftermath than from the attacks themselves.

"They lied to the American people. I don't believe the EPA," O'Donnell said again.

O'Donnell likened the East Palestine incident to other infamous environmental catastrophes, including Love Canal and Three Mile Island. "They've poisoned hundreds of thousands of people. Their lives [are] ruined," O'Donnell said, "they don't have anywhere else to go."

"This is a tragedy of epic proportion, and it's criminal negligence by that chemical and train company," O'Donnell said. "And nothing’s being done about it. It's not on the news enough. It's not something that people are talking about. It's like being pushed to the back burner."

Anything else?

O'Donnell's video was received positively in conservative circles and by other people critical of the government.

She responded to the praise by denying that she had "finally" woken up. Instead, O'Donnell said this is how she feels about "all national tragedies."

“I didn’t finally wake up. This is exactly what I feel at all national tragedies," she responded. “This is what I feel: compassion for my fellow man, disappointment in a government that doesn’t take good enough care of its people, and frustration at the way corporate entities seem to have impunity in this country now."
