What’s the very worst move a TV show can make if it wants to prove it’s a bona fide news outlet?
Bring in an unhinged former host for a teary-eyed reunion.
He’s loaded and stands as a prime example of our capitalistic system in action. Now, he wants to tear it all down.
That’s what “The View” has planned for its 30th anniversary special, at least according to one very unreliable source. The far-far-left showcase has asked ex-host Rosie O’Donnell to join the festivities. And the “Flintstones” alum said “yes.”
That’s according to O’Donnell.
“The View” has yet to confirm the invitation. An O’Donnell rep told USA Today there’s been no concrete announcement of the star’s return. Who are you going to trust: a rabid conspiracy theorist or a show that chronically peddles rabid conspiracy theories?
"Creative differences” are making a Hollywood comeback.
It’s one of the hokiest reasons for a film or TV show to fall apart. This time, it’s the next installment of the increasingly awful “Jurassic World” series. The last film, “Jurassic World: Rebirth” starring Scarlett Johansson, stunk up the joint but still made an outstanding $870 million in worldwide ticket sales.
The franchise will have to do it all over again without “Rebirth” director Gareth Edwards. He cited the oft-deployed phrase on the way out the franchise door. If he couldn’t hold his nose and direct the next film in the series, it’s a sign the saga will be about as fresh as pterodactyl eggs ...
Mike Rowe may be famous, but he has two feet firmly planted in terra firma. The “Dirty Jobs” host is renowned for his practical approach to life. Gritty, blue-collar Americans cheer him on for it.
He isn’t unabashedly on the right, but we can all do the math. And when he speaks, people would be wise to listen. So Rowe went to town on the Democrats’ embrace of all things DSA this week.
That’s not a partisan screed, just a cold blast of reality.
“If the DSA continues to grow in popularity, and the Democrats actually campaign on their behalf, I think it’ll be the largest political blunder in my lifetime,” he wrote on social media.
If anyone can get through to Dems, it's Rowe. Arguing with the purple-haired, 16-gender crowd can't be any harder than chicken-sexing or pig-slop processing, can it?
Did Christopher Nolan step on her cat’s tail?
“The Odyssey” director leaned on scholar Emily Wilson’s adaptation of the Homer poem to fuel his box-office sensation. And days after the film hit theaters, Wilson shredded Nolan’s handiwork.
Now, like Bruce the Shark in “Jaws,” she’s circling back to slam the film anew. The feminist scholar turned to the Atlantic for a fuller evisceration of the film:
The script grandly insists on the importance of human kindness, while the camera shows us an entirely different set of values. In these times of hatred and misinformation, we need more than the "apparent magic" of deceptive images. We need art that is truthful about the costs and the necessity of compassion, and that recognizes that a sense of spiritual superiority may not protect us from lies.
Nolan will have plenty of time to rebut her critiques. If he wants the ultimate revenge, he could name-check her when he’s on stage to pick up one of the film’s likely Oscar wins …
Celebrity Net Worth, a popular site estimating how much the rich and famous have in their piggy banks, says Mark Ruffalo is worth a cool $35 million.
The in-demand actor has played the Hulk in eight feature films and two Disney+ TV shows. That alone can pad one’s bank account, but he’s been steadily employed for two decades in various films and TV projects.
He’s loaded and stands as a prime example of our capitalistic system in action. Now, he wants to tear it all down. He just hasn’t distributed his millions quite yet.
The actor used his celebrity clout to back multiple DSA candidates in Michigan earlier this week. Why? They want socialism in the good ol’ USA, he said (with a straight face).
“This is our movement coming to bear fruit. I mean, this is what we started in 2016. This is where the progressives have been moving. This is our time. And they have to spend more and more money each time to beat us. And it’s just a matter of time till they flop, and this could be it.”
Hulk ... hypocrite! And that’s being kind.
Sunny Hostin of “The View” has made a career for herself lecturing the show’s threadbare audience about how privileged white people are compared to black people like her.
If Hostin’s multimillion-dollar net worth and prestigious education and career backgrounds weren’t enough to debunk her oppression narrative, perhaps her latest stunt is.
“Turns out, when push comes to shove, she has no problem using her own personal privilege to get ahead,” Sara Gonzales says.
On a recent episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” the BlazeTV host played viral bodycam footage of Hostin intervening after her 24-year-old son, Gabriel Hostin, was detained for trespassing on active Metro-North railroad tracks in New York.
According to reports, Gabriel was detained by police after they spotted him on the railroad right-of-way, violating posted “no trespassing” signs. He told officers he was out for a jog, saw open gates, and went in for what he described as hill training.
During the stop, he was on the phone with his mother.
“Sunny decided to step in and see if she could use that privilege she claims that everyone else has but her to try to convince the police to let him go,” Sara scoffs.
In the video, Hostin can be heard on the phone telling Gabriel, “Tell them your mother is a federal prosecutor.”
She then addressed the officers: “That’s my son. He’s a Harvard graduate. He’s not a criminal. He has no criminal record. No criminal history.”
When police explained to her that Gabriel was guilty of “criminal tresspassing,” Hostin doubled down on her good-boy narrative.
“Officer, is that really necessary? This is a kid that doesn’t do anything. He’s a Harvard graduate and a Yale researcher. He teaches geometry to fourth graders in the Bronx,” she reiterated.
“First of all, all of that sounds like very, very, very, very high privileges. No one in my family is a Harvard graduate and a Yale researcher and all of these very fancy titles, so you’ve already got the privilege that you claim you don’t have, Sunny,” Sara retorts, speculating that Gabriel ignored the “no trespassing” sign because his privilege made him think he’s “better than everyone else.”
When police refused to cave, Hostin took her elite privilege to a new level by showing up in person at the scene.
“Can you give him a warning?” she asked.
When the officer explained that he had to issue something but would lower Gabriel’s charge to a simple violation that would not affect his record, Hostin revisited her career history and the good-boy narrative for a third time.
“I’m a former federal prosecutor. ... He’s a Harvard grad who teaches fourth-grade geometry to South Bronx kids. This is not a kid who’s ever in trouble. It’s an innocent mistake,” she said.
But the cops, whom Sara praises, stood firm and issued Gabriel a trespass violation.
“Maybe the silver lining is that they are fans of her show and they just took ... her advice,” she laughs, playing an old clip of Hostin arguing on “The View” that “no one is above the law.”
“They must watch your show, Sunny.”

In the wake of America’s vibrant 250th birthday celebrations, Sunny Hostin of “The View” apparently felt the need to counteract the widespread patriotism by claiming American flags make her feel unsafe.
On a July 6 episode, the woke co-host said, “There are times when I walk into a community, and I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag, and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized [it].”
BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales calls Hostin’s comment “one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.”
“I feel very safe when I go into a community with American flags everywhere because I’m like, ‘OK, cool. They love our country. They probably have guns. I'm safe,”’ Sara says.
Perhaps Hostin would prefer “a Chinese communist flag” instead, she quips.
Hostin’s comment, she explains, stemmed from the panel’s conversation about a viral photo taken on July 4 capturing a black woman on the Washington Metro surrounded by masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front, which Sara says is most likely a “fed op.”
Hostin — a privileged Notre Dame grad with a bachelor’s and J.D., former federal prosecutor, multi-millionaire co-host, legal analyst, and bestselling author — had the audacity to then claim this viral photograph embodies her experience as a black woman in America.
“As a black woman, my lived experience in this country was embodied by a photograph that was taken in celebrating the 250th,” she said, referencing the viral image.
But apparently the picture doesn’t just embody her own experience but the experience of black Americans in general.
“That for me was a defining image of modern America for black Americans,” she added.
Sara notes that the black woman Hostin apparently identifies with was previously arrested and charged for indecent exposure on public transit.
She also can’t help but scoff at Hostin’s phony victimhood.
“I’m a ‘View’ host. I get paid too much money just to bloviate and say dumb bulls**t, and somehow this is my lived experience as well,” she mocks.
