Bill Maher recently issued a blunt response to California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s “trolling” of President Donald Trump on social media. On the August 22 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the host, 69, weighed in on Newsom’s unconventional approach to his X posts: mocking 79-year-old Trump’s all-caps messages and signature way of writing. “Gavin Newsom is now trolling Trump. I’ve never seen a Democrat do this,” Maher said on his late-night HBO show. “I think it’s very funny.” Starting in August, Newsom, 57, has gone viral online for his X updates declaring himself “America’S Favorite Governor,” giving over-the-top nicknames to Republican politicians and Fox News hosts,...

A day after his younger brother Erik was denied release on parole, Lyle Menendez was handed the same fate Friday evening, with California prison officials ruling he remains a risk to public safety. It was a minimal denial of three years.

“We find your remorse is genuine. In many ways, you look like you’ve been a model inmate. … But despite all those outward positives, we see [that] you still struggle with anti-social personality traits like deception, minimization, and rule-breaking that lie beneath that positive surface,” Parole Commissioner Julie Garland said,...

Like his brother, Erik, just 24 hours earlier, Lyle Menendez’s request for parole was denied Friday evening by a California Parole Board panel.

While the decision isn’t final yet — it won’t become official until the Cpb review process is finalized, including a separate hearing where the panel will explain their reasoning for denying parole — only rarely does the larger Parole Board overrule a rejection. And while California Gov. Gavin Newsom has the power to make the final call, he has already indicated he will likely follow whatever Cpb recommends.

As such, it puts an end, for now at least, to the Menendez Brothers’ quest to be released from prison,...

The fate of Lyle and Erik Menendez ended up in the hands of California’s parole board. On Thursday, Erik received a denial in his bid for freedom. Read on to find out why.

Erik’s Parole Denial

According to Parade, Erik, age 54, appeared at his hearing via video from the “Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.” After many hours of questions from two parole commissioners, he ended up being denied release. Apparently, the board recalled early housebreaking activity in the ’80s and also violations of prison rules involving a phone.

Shortly after the ruling, a spokesperson...

A California parole board denied the release of Erik Menendez, who, along with his brother, Lyle Menendez, was arrested for killing their parents in 1989.

In December 2024, Los Angeles County Da George Gascón announced that, with new evidence that the Menendez brothers were molested, they may be eligible for resentencing.

Five months later, Erik and Lyle had been resentenced to 50 years by Judge Michael Jesic.

On August 21, the decision was delivered following a ten-hour virtual hearing involving statements from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, Erik and nearly a dozen supportive Menendez relatives who are also labelled as victims of the brothers’ crime.

The board pointed out his teenage criminal history,...

California Governor Gavin Newsom is doing everything he can to act presidential these days, even if it means following President Donald Trump's example. That includes the Democrat calling on a major network to cancel its popular late-night TV show.

Earlier this week, Newsom’s press office posted a mock-Trump style tweet blasting Greg Gutfeld, host of Gutfeld! on Fox News. The California governor claimed Gutfeld uses a laugh track and urged Fox to dump the late-night host as soon as possible.

I Seldom Watch Low-rated "Garbageman" Greg Gutfeld But, When I Do, I Marvel At The Fake Laughter On The Show. It Sounds Like A Bad “Laugh Machine,” It’S So Obnoxious And Disgusting,...

Erik Menendez, the younger of the two Beverly Hills brothers who infamously gunned down their parents in 1989 after years of alleged sexual abuse, was denied parole at a highly anticipated hearing Thursday.

The three-year denial, while minimal, dashed many supporters’ hopes that Erik, 54, might be home with his family in time for the holidays. It also dampened expectations ahead of the separate parole board hearing for Erik’s older brother and co-defendant, Lyle Menendez, 57, set for Friday.

“I believe in redemption, or I wouldn’t be doing this job,” Commissioner...

After more than three decades behind bars for the 1989 murder of their parents, this week Erik and Lyle Menendez are finally standing before a California parole board in separate, virtual hearings that — after a series of revelations, an online rally and multiple TV series based on their cases — could chart a path toward their release.

Erik Menendez, now 54, is appearing via video link from Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego. He will be facing a two- to three-person panel of parole commissioners and will be presenting his case for release under the resentenced term of 50 years to life — which in July was reduced down from his original without-parole sentence in 1996.

His defense, led by frequent Hollywood attorney Mark Geragos, is emphasizing Erik’s years of rehabilitation and remorse and his big contributions to prison programming, including support initiatives for elderly inmates. Family members, correctional staff and even formerly...

Democrats are obviously scrambling when it comes to how to push back against Donald Trump. To be fair, Trump has stomped on any previous notion of a chessboard. It’s harder to fight back against a guy who totally ignores any and all rules of engagement. But still, the Democrats have done poorly showing any sort of major counter strategy to Trump’s war path. And when we do get any resistance, it’s #resistance, not substantial thwarting of power.

Because of this, there’s New Jersey Senator Corey Booker Hamilton-inspired performances and whatever is currently happening on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s @GovPressOffice X account.

For those unfamiliar, Newsom...

Timing is everything in politics and the law, and Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman certainly is using it to his presumed advantage today when it comes to the Menendez brothers and their potential parole.

“The Menendez brothers have never fully accepted responsibility for the horrific murders of their parents, instead continuing to promote a false narrative of self-defense that was rejected by the jury decades ago,” Hochman said today, less than 24 hours before Erik Menendez’s parole hearing is scheduled to start and around 48 hours ahead of Lyle Menendez’s hearing.

To that end, Erik Menendez’s virtual parole hearing will kick off around 8:30 am Pt on August 21 and is anticipated to last anywhere up to three hours. His brother will follow a similar schedule on Friday. While it might take days or weeks, a written decision from the parole board could come as early as the conclusion of the individual hearings.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s current Maga-baiting social media strategy has ensnared Kid Rock in its hysterical net.

Recently, Newsom’s press office account has taken to using an all-caps trolling approach, aping Donald Trump’s posting style on Truth Social. Over the weekend, it posted a tweet featuring a clearly AI-generated image of right-wing rocker and hardcore Trump fan Kid Rock expressing his support for the governor.

Newsom’s tweet, which features an image of Kid Rock dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption, “Kid Rock Wants You to Support Gavin Newsom,” and a post accepting the endorsement from Newsom’s personal account, was apparently a bridge too far for Rock.

In a post responding to the troll, Kid Rock retweeted the image with a caption of his own: “The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from Deez Nutz,” pulling out one of Donald...

In recent weeks, California Governor Gavin Newsom has given his press office free rein to go full all-caps troll mode on X. Almost all of the account’s posts right now are mimicking Donald Trump’s distinct tweeting style, replete with condescending nicknames, weirdly formal phrasing, and multiple-exclamation-point bluster. On Monday, the account even went so far as to gin up a phony picture of avowed Trump supporter Kid Rock dressed as Uncle Sam with the slogan, “Kid Rock wants you to support Gavin Newsom.”

Accompanying the post was a...

Janeshia Adams-Ginyard, a Trump-supporting actress who voiced the Black, female Eric Cartman defends South Park’s biting satire targeting President Donald Trump. South Park season 27's premiere, “Sermon on the ’Mount,” mocks the Trump administration while skewering issues like immigration and Kristi Noem’s dog-shooting controversy.

In a TMZ interview, Janeshia Adams-Ginyard praised South Park’s equal-opportunity humor, noting it targets everyone. Adams-Ginyard argued conservatives have a sense of humor, unlike “liberals who can’t take a joke.” She asked creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to target California Governor Gavin Newsom next, citing his policies. Read Janeshia's quote below:

They go after everybody, everybody is up for grabs on South Park. I think that South Park does an amazing way of mirroring what is actually happening in the world right now, like we are having issues with our immigration - let’s not lie. Let’s be honest with...

When South Park kicked off Season 27 with back-to-back episodes lampooning President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the reactions were predictably heated. But for Janeshia Adams-Ginyard, an actress who guest-starred on the 2023 special South Park: Joining the Panderverse, the series’ sharp political humor is just business as usual. Speaking in an interview while between flights at Los Angeles International Airport, Adams-Ginyard made it clear she wasn’t offended by Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s latest satirical swings—even as a Trump voter. “They go after everybody, everybody is up for grabs on South Park,” she said.

Adams-Ginyard, who memorably voiced a black...

South Park’s27th season started with two episodes featuring parodies of President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The show’s controversial takes on political figures are nothing out of the ordinary, according to one actor who guest-starred on a 2023 South Park special.

Per The Independent, Maga actor Janeshia Adams-Ginyard spoke with TMZ while between flights at Los Angeles International Airport to get her take on the new season of the long-running raunchy animated series. Adams-Ginyard memorably voiced a black female version of Eric Cartman in the 2023 South Park special, South Park: Joining the Panderverse.

“They go after everybody, everybody...

The voice of the Black, female version of Eric Cartman loves how hard South Park has gone after President Donald “Saddam Hussein” Trump almost as much as she loves President Donald “Saddam Hussein” Trump.

Janeshia Adams-Ginyard is an actress, voice talent, stuntwoman and, as we learned recently, a “red, white and blue all day” right-winger who played a starring role in the popular South Park streaming special Joining the Panderverse. South Park’s 2023 takedown of what conservatives have branded as the “woke Disney” movement to recast white male roles in beloved film franchises with women of color was a massive hit with the anti-woke movement, who turned Kathleen Kennedy Cartman’s catchphrase of “put a chick in it, make her gay” into a rallying cry in their online culture war.

Now, those same conservative comedy fans who, until very recently, believed that Trey Parker and Matt Stone were supporters of...

Gavin Newsom wants to fight “fire with fire” when it comes to Donald Trump and attacks on American democracy, but HBO and Bill Maher just want Laura Loomer to stop talking and posting.

Good luck.

“It has come to Defendants’ attention that after Plaintiff needlessly filed her deposition on the public docket as part of unrelated objections, a copy of the unsealed exhibit was made available on the website CourtListener,” HBO declared to Florida-based federal Judge James Moody in a filing this week, a couple of weeks after Loomer’s scorching deposition with the outlet and Maher’s lawyer Katherine Bolger and others was leaked.

HBO is accusing the hot-button Rumble host of stepping over the line online with the federal courts by talking about her deposition, which was not intended to be made public. It’s a leak that Loomer, who sued HBO and Maher for defamation and $150 million...

California Governor Gavin Newsom is in open conflict with Donald Trump’s administration amid an announcement that his state will attempt an off-cycle gerrymandering of their congressional map in order to counteract a similar effort by Republicans in Texas.

Trump “doesn’t play by a different set of rules. He doesn’t believe in the rules,” Newsom said Thursday. “We have got to recognize the cards that have been dealt, and we have got to meet fire with fire.” California, unlike Texas, would need to approve the new electoral maps...

“Today is Liberation Day in the state of California,” Gavin Newsom proclaimed today in downtown L.A. of the legislative effort to stop Donald Trump from “rigging the system” with gerrymandering and other blows against American democracy. “I know they say don’t mess with Texas, well don’t mess with the great Golden State.”

“We’ve got to recognize the cards that have been dealt,” Newsom added in his new-ish Resistor-in-Chief role. “We’ve got to meet fire with fire,” the governor went on to say, asking for a National Commission on redistricting. He also noted, to jeers, the presence of masked Ice and Dhs agents outside the rally venue of the Democracy Center in downtown L.A.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Donald Trump on Tuesday that the president had missed the deadline to pull back from creating “illegal crooked maps” in red states to manipulate coming elections.

As a result, Newsom, mimicking the president’s all caps messaging style, indicated the nation’s most populous state would “redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states.” He further promised that the results would be “historic as they will end the Trump Presidency” and result in the Democrats “taking back the House.”

Updated: Donald Trump said Monday that he was deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C. and placing the city’s Metropolitan Police under federal control.

Portraying the capital city as a crime-ridden hellhole, Trump told reporters that the city “is becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness.”

“We’re taking our capital back,” Trump said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi will oversee the city’s police department. She was present along with Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host, FBI director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

While there is a crime problem in D.C., and while stats are meaningless to victims, the rate actual fell last year, per the Metropolitan Police, with violent crime down 26%. Back in April, Ed Martin, then serving as Trump’s acting U.S. attorney in the district, trumpeted the decrease.

Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in the 1990s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is about to take on a new role, as an honorary officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

This surprising news came from Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, who said Cain will be officially sworn in next month. However, it’s still unclear what exactly his responsibilities will be in this honorary position.

Cain talked about his upcoming role during an interview on Fox News. He explained that he has already spoken with Ice officials and is ready to start soon. Cain, who is now 59 years old, also shared that he is already a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer.

Updated with the latest: Firefighters are making progress in their battle against the Canyon Fire north of Los Angeles.

The fire, which broke out Thursday afternoon near Lake Piru, is now 25% contained, thanks to overnight water drops which kept the flames at bay, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The fire has burned 5,370 acres. One structure has been reported destroyed, but no residences have burned and no injuries have been reported. Per the Ventura Fire Department, 14,000 residents and 5000 structures remain under evacuation warning. In LA County Evacuation Orders cover 2700 residents and 700 structures.

On Friday August 8 2025, HBO broadcasts Real Time With Bill Maher!

Alan Cumming; Gavin Newsom; P.J. O’Rourke; George Stephanopoulos; Robin Wright Season 7 Episode 2 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Real Time With Bill Maher” promises an exciting lineup that includes actor Alan Cumming, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, and journalists P.J. O’Rourke, George Stephanopoulos, and Robin Wright. This diverse group is set to engage in lively discussions on current events, politics, and culture.

Alan Cumming, known for his dynamic performances on stage and screen, will likely bring a unique perspective to the conversation. His experience in the entertainment industry could lead to interesting insights on how politics and media intersect.

Gavin Newsom, as the Mayor of San Francisco, will provide a political viewpoint that reflects the challenges and successes of urban governance. His presence may spark discussions about local and national issues, particularly those affecting cities today.

P.J.

(Photo: Gage Skidmore / Flickr Creative Commons) Key Points: Fox News asked a judge to dismiss Gavin Newsom’s defamation lawsuit, calling it a political stunt meant to draw media attention. The lawsuit stems from a Fox segment that accused Newsom of lying about phone calls with President Trump. Newsom claims the segment damaged his political reputation and that Fox deliberately misled viewers about the nature of the call. Fox News says the lawsuit violates California’s anti-slapp statute, and that it is entitled to attorney’s fees.

Attorneys for Fox News Media on Thursday asked a federal judge to dismiss a news distortion and defamation lawsuit brought by California Governor Gavin Newsom, saying the case was filed frivolously in an effort to drum up media attention.

Fox News has filed a motion to throw out Gavin Newsom’s $787 million defamation suit, arguing that the governor is seeking to create a “press spectacle” to advance his presidential ambitions.

Newsom sued in June, alleging that Fox host Jesse Watters defamed him by claiming that Newsom lied about a phone call with President Trump. Watters has since offered a quasi-apology, saying that Newsom “wasn’t lying — he was just confusing and unclear.”

In the motion to dismiss filed on Tuesday, Fox News’ lawyers said that Newsom’s lawyers had offered to drop the case if Fox issued a retraction and an apology. Watters’ on-air remarks were an attempt to comply with that request and to avoid “pointless litigation,” the filing states.

However, Newsom has not withdrawn the suit. In response, Fox News now asserts that the original statements were “substantially true.”

The dispute started with Ice raids that took...

Mr. Pratt goes to Washington, indeed.

On Aug. 4, reality star Spencer Pratt touched down in the nation’s capital for a three-day trip to meet with a slew of top federal officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi about the catastrophic fires that ravaged Los Angeles in January.

The visit marks an escalation in his battle with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that began last month. “The Hills” star, whose Pacific Palisades home and his parents’ residence were destroyed in the deadly blazes that also tore through Malibu and Altadena, has publicly accused the governor and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of mismanagement and negligence via viral TikTok videos that he first launched in July. Now, he’s going for the jugular.

“I’m literally their worst nightmare because I have nothing to lose, and all I’m ever gonna do is just post actual facts,” Pratt tells Variety in an exclusive interview.

Dean Cain says he’s going to be “sworn in as an Ice agent, Asap.”

The actor, who starred as Clark Kent/Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, revealed Wednesday on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime that he’s signed up for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

“I put out a recruitment video yesterday — I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer — I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,” he told host Jesse Watters. “So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at Ice, and I will be sworn in as an Ice agent, Asap.”

On Tuesday, Cain posted a video on his Instagram, encouraging people to join the federal agency,...

President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that “we would do anything necessary to keep our Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military.”

Trump made the comments after he signed an executive order establishing a task force on the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, a group that features cabinet secretaries and administration officials, including FCC chairman Brendan Carr.

Trump’s comment about using the National Guard or military follows his dispatch of troops to Los Angeles in response to protests of Ice raids. His decision to federalize the guard was opposed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who said that the show of federal force inflamed the situation.

At a White House event establishing the task force, the chair of the Olympic organizing committee, Casey Wasserman, had nothing but praise for Trump, including his assistance during his first term in ensuring that Los Angeles was selected as host city.

FoxLA weeknight newscasts will look different beginning August 16.

Erik Menendez has returned to prison following temporary treatment for kidney stones at a California hospital.

This hospital visit comes almost a month ahead of Menéndez and his brother Lyle’s parole board hearing on August 21 and 22. The pair was convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 and sentenced to life in prison without parole. However, the brothers have continually insisted that they were acting in self-defense following years of abuse. In May, they were resentenced to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole.

Menendez’s stepdaughter, Talia, chronicled his medical procedure with a post to Instagram stories on August 2. “My dad is out of the hospital and back at the prison, preparing for our upcoming parole hearing,” she said.

Donald Trump is readying an executive order that could set the White House on another collision course with Los Angeles officials.

The president is set to announce a task force on the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles — with himself on top of the podium.

The White House has scheduled an Oval Office meeting tomorrow with a selection of athletes and members of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee to reveal the news, sources confirm. The includes having Trump in charge of the effort.

The White House sent a statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming this news on Monday afternoon shortly after The Hollywood Reporter published.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened to remove Democratic members of the state legislature from their offices and charge them with felonies after they fled the state. Two dozen Texas Democrats traveled to Chicago, Illinois, on Sunday to deny the Republican–controlled legislature the quorum it needs to pass an off-cycle redistricting measure aimed at securing Republicans additional seats ahead of the 2026 midterms.

“The derelict Democrat House members must return to Texas and be in attendance

when the House reconvenes at 3:00 Pm on Monday, August 4, 2025,” Abbott wrote in a letter issued on Sunday.

The U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July, reflecting continued cuts in the federal government and uncertainty over trade policy, while the unemployment rate went up a tad to 4.2%.

There was job growth in health care and social assistance, while other categories remained flat.

The latest figures signaled caution among employers, grappling with the uncertainty of tariffs and tougher immigration policies.

Jobs in motion pictures and sound recordings rose by about 2,500, to 415,300 in July, while broadcasting and content providers saw a slight gain of 300 jobs, to 334,600.

Moreover, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised downward figures from previous months, now showing that growth in May was just 19,000, while June hiring was just 14,000. All told, the bureau reduced their previous estimates for those months by 258,000.

The Bls typically revises figures from previous months, a reminder that the initial data is an estimate that does not capture the complete picture of the labor market.

One day after formally declining to throw her hat in the ring for California governor, Kamala Harris has unveiled her new memoir, a book following the tumultuous 107-day campaign for president in 2024.

“My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” Harris wrote. The tome, titled 107 Days, will be published by Simon & Schuster on Sept. 23. And — in a pointed choice given the Donald Trump factor in the show’s cancellation — the politician will kick off her media tour with an appearance on CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert this evening.

The decision to appear on Colbert’s show, her first interview since the election loss, comes as that show is facing cancellation by CBS next year, amid a declining late-night landscape. The cancellation also arrived under the shadow of a deal to sell control of CBS and Paramount to a new owner,...

Kamala Harris will be a guest on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Thursday night.

The former vice president’s visit to the show, which is being billed as her “first interview since 2024 election,” comes on the heels of CBS cancelling “The Late Show” after next season. The network cited a “financial decision” when the news was announced July 17.

Earlier Thursday, Harris announced that she will publish, “107 Days,” a memoir for Simon & Schuster that recounts the roller coaster ride of her 2024 presidential campaign.

The book will be released on Sept. 23.

“What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story,” Harris wrote, in part, on X and Instagram Thursday morning. “My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.”

In video accompanying the announcement, Harris says, “Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for president of the United States.

Kamala Harris’ announcement that she would not enter the race for California governor was quickly followed by a burst of praise from Democrats who’ve already launched their campaigns.

That’s a familiar ritual whenever a big-name candidate decides not to run, with would-be rivals from the same party offering up kind words and likely having a sense of relief.

Harris would have entered the race as the front-runner, according to recent polls, and the Democratic field likely would have dwindled. But had she run, she would have to navigate voter discontent going into 2026.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who launched his gubernatorial bid last year just as Harris was starting her presidential run, wrote on X: “I have deep respect for Vice President Kamala Harris and her decades of leadership and public service to the people of California and our nation. Her decision not to enter the race...

The runner-up in the 2024 U.S. presidential election won’t be running for California’s top job next year, but Kamala Harris isn’t ruling out a 2028 White House bid yet.

After months of speculation and impressive polling, the former Vice President has made it official: She’s not going to be on the ballot to lead the Golden State. “After deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” Harris said Wednesday.

The news certainly comes as a surprise to those outside Harris’ inner circle, though sources say Gov. Gavin Newsom was in the loop about what was going on.

Earlier this year, around the time of the Oscars, Harris told friends and deep-pocketed donors that she would make a final decision on running for governor by the end of the summer. A little ahead of schedule, today’s announcement may send some...

FireAid’s organizers said Tuesday that they’ve tasked the concert’s law firm, Latham & Watkins, to review the organization’s grant process as the charitable concert faces scrutiny from President Donald Trump and a congressman in California over how the $100 million the show had raised has been doled out so far.

Trump blasted FireAid over the weekend, taking to Truth Social to call the benefit show “a total disaster” and “another democrat inspired scam,” claiming that the $100 million the concert had raised is missing. Trump’s jabs at FireAid came before he once again attacked California Governor Gavin Newsom (calling him Newscum), alleging that the governor mismanaged fire response. Meanwhile, Kevin Kiley, a Republican congressman for California’s third district, had called for the Department of Justice to investigate how FireAid disbursed its donations, claiming “none of the $100 million donated went directly to L.A. victims, and nonprofits having...

“There are still so many people sleeping in tents on their burn sites or bopping around to hotels,” says Duplass, who co-founded The Soul Points Fund with his wife, actor/filmmaker Katie Aselton. “I thought at the six-month point we’d be much further along at helping people move into their permanent homes.”

Nonprofit organizations say they experienced a surge of generosity in the immediate aftermath of the wildfires that killed 30 people, displaced 150,000 and destroyed more than...

In August 2020, Amy Tripp, an astrologer who goes by @starheal on social media, tweeted to her tens of thousands of Twitter followers that Kamala Harris would be running for president in 2024, because of the politician’s Saturn return, which occurs when Saturn is once again in the position it was when a person was born. While guessing that a vice presidential candidate was going to run for president in the next election cycle was a pretty safe bet, four years later, Tripp surprised the world when she correctly predicted that...

Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind shows like American Horror Story, Glee, and Nip/Tuck, has unveiled the release date for the latest installment of his Netflix true crime series, Monster. Season 3 of the series will be based on the true story of Ed Gein, the American serial killer who inspired countless villains in the crime genre, and Murphy recently revealed that the upcoming series will land on the streamer in October. Just in time for the spooky season.

Per the report by What's on Netflix, Murphy appeared on the podcast This is Gavin Newsom amid the celebrations of the recent Emmy nomination for his work in Season 2 of Monster, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The series is part of Murphy's TV offer via Netflix, and so far, the first two seasons have been very well-received. Season 1 told the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, while Season 2 told the story of the Menendez brothers.

Jack Schlossberg is continuing his feud with Ryan Murphy over his new series Love Story, which in its first season is set to depict the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

The late JFK Jr. is Schlossberg’s uncle and has called out Murphy for “profiting off” his uncle’s life “in a grotesque way.” Murphy recently addressed those comments as a guest on Gavin Newsom’s podcast, where he said Schlossberg made an “odd choice to be mad about your relative that you really don’t remember.”

After seeing Murphy’s comments, Schlossberg took to Instagram to quote him and ask the television producer to “Say It To My Face.”

“My earliest memories are of John calling me Jackolatern and ‘the nudist,’ picking me up from school, his Pontiac convertible,” Schlossberg posted. “I remember being the ring bearer at his wedding and the day he died.

Candace Owens has been sued for defamation by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte over a years-long campaign featuring assertions that the first lady of France is male, marking the second time in as many months that a right-wing political commentator has been sued for allegedly false reporting.

Owens said last year that she “would stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.” Since then, she’s leveraged the statement to juice her online following despite evidence disproving the claim, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Delaware state court.

In a video, Owens called the lawsuit an “obvious and desperate public relations strategy.”

The filing of the complaint follows Gov. Gavin Newsom in June suing Fox News for defamation over its coverage of a phone call he had with President Trump. He claimed that the network deceptively edited the...

Ryan Murphy is ready to up the ante with Season 3 of Monsterand has a warning for those out there with weak stomachs — maybe this isn’t the show for you. In a recent interview on Gavin Newsom’s podcast, This is Gavin Newsom, the series creator told the California governor that the upcoming installment, which is set to see Charlie Hunnam portray serial killer Ed Gein, “is not for the squeamish.” That warning is certainly saying something considering the first season, during which Evan Peters appeared as the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer, not only included the killer’s atrocious crimes, but also pointed to the possibility that he may have given his neighbors food made from human body parts.

For those who may not be familiar with Gein’s story, the man who would become known as “The Butcher of Plainfield” was a Wisconsin native who murdered at least two women in the 1950s.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said he will decide by Labor Day whether Erik and Lyle Menendez are suitable for parole following their convictions for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, at the family’s Beverly Hills mansion. On Sunday, Newsom discussed the case with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story creator Ryan Murphy on his podcast, This is Gavin Newsom. If the parole board recommends release, the final decision will rest with the governor. The brothers are scheduled to appear before the parole board in August. If the parole board recommends release, Gov. Newsom may decide on clemency by Labor Day. On July 18, Erik Menendez was transferred from prison to a nearby hospital to receive medical care. While his attorney, Mark Geragos, described the situation as a “serious medical condition,” other sources indicated that the cause is likely kidney stones. Menendez’s current condition and the...
