Adam Schiff now holds the Senate seat that belonged to Dianne Feinstein for three decades.

Surprising no one, the Democratic longtime congressman from Hollywood easily beat Republican and former Los Angeles Dodgers great Steve Garvey tonight. The Associated Press called the race for Schiff mere seconds after the polls closed in California. The Golden State and its 54 Electoral College votes went solidly for Vice President Kamala Harris in a very close race with Donald Trump.

Seeing his seat in California’s 30th District likely going to fellow Democrat Laura Friedman over GOP contender Alex Balekian, Schiff will take over from incumbent Sen. Laphonza Butler until early next year. Butler announced not long after Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed the former Emily’s List chief in late 2023 to fill out the deceased Feinstein’s seat, that she would not seeking a full Senate term for herself. Schiff will begin serving a full six-year...

Donald Trump stood on a lawn at his golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, today, speaking to mainstream and right-wing media, and made a long shot pitch for votes in the state while also bashing it as a poorly run hellscape.

“It’s very sad when I have to stand out here on my property and see how bad California is,” said Trump, with the sweeping view of the Pacific as a backdrop.

Trump, though, claimed that if he is elected president, the state’s problems would be solved — everything from migration to taxes to wildfires to water.

“You’re going to have water like you never thought,” Trump said, before turning to the mayor of Rpv and noting, “Now, in your case, maybe you don’t want too much.” The city is struggling with massive landslide issues that now threaten hundreds of homes.

The purpose of the press...

Donald Trump doubled down on his assertions that student protests against Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza are exponentially worse than the deadly 2017 neo-Nazi rallies held in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In statements given to reporters gathered at Manhattan criminal court — where he is currently standing trial — Trump said that if President Joe Biden “ran because of Charlottesville […] Charlottesville is peanuts compared to what you’re looking at now,” the former president said, echoing a similar claim he made last week. Trump also took the opportunity to repeat his claim that...

Bill Maher is expanding his Club Random podcast into a network, with plans to launch a new show with sports journalist Sage Steele.

Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time, is teaming with his co-creators and executive producer Chris Case and Chuck Labella in the venture, with plans to feature celebrity talent who want to “try something different and span a wide variety of personalities and interests,” according to an announcement.

Club Random Studios, as the venture is named, will debut The Sage Steele Show later today. In a statement, Maher said that the former ESPN anchor is “the perfect choice to be our first new host because, like me, she pissed off Disney. There’s a certain poetic symmetry to that.”

Maher said, “My lifelong goal has been to get the kind of conversation we have in life – utterly real, completely authentic, cleaned up for no one – on the air.

After two years of hosting his own podcast, Bill Maher will help others do the same with Club Random Studios, a podcast network and entertainment hub aiming to champion “authenticity from unfiltered celebrity voices.”

Besides Maher’s own “Club Random,” the network’s first show is “The Sage Steele Show,” hosted by Sage Steele, dropping March 27. Steele joined ESPN as an anchor in 2007 and climbed the ranks at the network until she was suspended without pay over controversial comments she made on another podcast. She sued ESPN and settled last year. Upcoming guests on “The Sage Steele Show” include Dana White, Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne, Jillian Michaels, Drea DeMatteo, Adam Carolla, Reggie Watts and Steve Garvey.

In a statement announcing the new venture, Maher said, “Dance like no one’s watching? We talk like no one can cancel us.”

HBO Real Time host Bill Maher is launching a podcast network.

The Club Random Studios network (the name is derived from Maher’s Club Random podcast), will seek to host podcasts built on an idea of “freedom of expression,” the late night host tells The Hollywood Reporter.

“I am looking for people who are not talking point people. I’m looking for people who don’t, before they speak, say, ‘what’s the right answer here?'” Maher added.

The first podcast on the network, which Maher is backing alongside co-creators Chris Case and Chuck Labella, will be hosted by Sage Steele, the former ESPN SportsCenter anchor who parted ways with the channel last year after settling a free speech lawsuit. Steele filed the suit alleging retaliation after she made controversial comments about the Covid-19 vaccine mandates on a podcast hosted by Jay Cutler.

“She’s the perfect choice to...

(Updated with more results & Super Tuesday details) The Congressman from Hollywood is one big step closer to becoming the Golden State’s junior Senator, but saw up-close this Super Tuesday some of the visceral challenges Democrats face from their own base.

In the double header that is California’s primary this Super Tuesday, Adam Schiff secured the top spot with just under 40% of the vote in. NBC News and the Associated Press called it for Schiff just over 30 minutes after the polls closed in the nation’s most populous state.

Not that the night was all balloon drops and victory dances for the veteran Congressman.

Dozens of protesters chanting “ceasefire now” over the worsening situation in Gaza made it near impossible for Schiff to get though his speech to supporters at Avalon on LA’s Vine Street.

Adam Schiff’s entire victory speech tonite was interrupted by protesters chanting for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Donald Trump cruised through Super Tuesday, as expected — but the night’s single biggest race may have been the U.S. Senate primary in California. It’s the first time in decades the seat in question has been seriously contested; Dianne Feinstein held it from 1992 until she died last September. She announced a few months earlier that she wouldn’t be seeking reelection, and the race to replace her has been raging ever since.

It effectively ended on Tuesday, with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Republican Steve Garvey, a former...

Updated, with latest results: Donald Trump and Joe Biden dominated a majority of Super Tuesday contests this evening, making it all the more certain that the November election will be a rematch.

Biden and Trump were projected to be the winners, by a wide margin, of party primaries in California, Colorado, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Maine, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Alabama, Utah and Tennessee. Biden also was projected to win Vermont, and Trump won a caucus in Alaska.

The lingering question was whether Nikki Haley would continue her bid for the Republican nomination as Trump’s last remaining rival. She was projected to win Vermont, denying Trump a sweep of all Super Tuesday contests. Referring to Trump’s speech earlier in the evening, her campaign said in a statement, “Unity is not achieved by simply claiming, ‘we’re united.'”

Otherwise, the former president scored lopsided margins of victory.

Katie Porter — the California representative famous for skewering corporate CEOs in congressional hearings — is sick of the “glacial” pace of the U.S. Senate and is brimming with plans to shake up the “stale” institution. If she can get elected.

The Golden State’s primary election wraps up Tuesday, March 5. And Porter stands out in the crowded field by making combating climate change a key component of her closing argument. Her plan calls for new investment in climate resilience and clean technology, as well an end to subsidies for Big Oil,...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca) and Rep. Katie Porter (D-ca) are making their final TV ads buys before Tuesday’s Senate primary, but one candidate has shot to the top of the polls without spending a dime on such spots.

In fact, according to one poll released today, former Dodgers star and Republican Steve Garvey is leading, albeit slightly, with just days to go.

Garvey may have Schiff to thank for pumping up his prospects. According to research firm AdImpact, 60% of Schiff’s broadcast ads mention Garvey. None mention Porter.

That’s widely viewed as by design on Schiff’s part.

California has an open primary, and the top two finishers on Tuesday will advance to the general election, regardless of party. Schiff has had an enduring lead in most other polls, and by highlighting Garvey and his conservative positions, he may be helping consolidate the vote on the right. According to a number of pundits,...

There were few surprises at the third and likely final pre-primary meet up of the four leading candidates for California’s open U.S. Senate seat, a race increasingly defined by a race for No. 2 behind front-runner Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca).

The NBC4/Knbc and Telemundo 52/Kvea event at Universal Studios was perhaps the most muted of all three debates, with few fireworks and the candidates often reverting to their talking points.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-ca) focused her attacks on Schiff, her colleague in the House, including a tiff over the value of earmarks.

“For too many decades, Washington does sweetheart deals for certain defense contractors through earmarks,” Porter said. “And there is a candidate on this stage who has done that, again and again, getting earmarks for his private corporate donors who are big defense contractors.”

Schiff responded, “We have a strong disagreement over whether senators should bring back resources for their state.

The four leading candidates for California’s open U.S. Senate seat met again this evening, this time in a one-hour San Francisco debate that produced fewer clashes than their first gathering in January.

Still, with less than a month before the state’s open primary, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca) focused a number of his attacks on Steve Garvey, the sole Republican on the stage, particularly over the “issue” of Donald Trump.

“Let me just say this also to Mr. Garvey: The greatest threat that we have to our democracy is Donald Trump,” Schiff said.

Garvey voted for Trump in the last two presidential elections but said that, when it comes to supporting him this year, he “will make that decision when the time comes.” In response to Schiff, Garvey said that the “gravest threat to democracy is deconstruction of the Constitution. Packing the court. Doing away with the filibuster.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca), Rep. Katie Porter (D-ca), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-ca) and Steve Garvey will face off again for another U.S. Senate debate on Feb. 20 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

NBC4/Knbc and Telemundo 52/Kvea are hosting the one-hour debate, which will start at 6 p.m. Pt. The debate will be commercial free and simulcast on NBC and Telemundo stations throughout the state.

NBC 4 anchor Colleen Williams, chief political reporter Conan Nolan and Noticiero Telemundo 52 anchor Alejandra Ortiz will moderate the debate.

The debate will be held in partnership with Loyola Marymount University, with Fernando Guerra, professor of political. science and Chicana/o studies representing the university.

The event also will be livestreamed on local streaming news channels, websites and apps.

The Senate candidates met last month for a Jan. 22 debate at USC, with Fox 11’s Elex Michaelson and Politico’s Melanie Mason moderating. Another debate is scheduled for Feb.

Exclusive: Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Los Angeles on Saturday, with plans for the president to meet with Black leaders in the entertainment industry in town for the Grammys, according to a source familiar with the plans.

During the campaign visit, the president plans to talk with the industry leaders about the issues at stake in the election and how they can use their platforms to mobilize voters between now and the November election, according to the source.

The Bidens are planning to travel to Las Vegas on Sunday for the re-election campaign, so they will not be attending the Grammy ceremony. But during the telecast, the campaign plans to air a recently introduced ad spotlighting abortion rights, with the spot running in markets in battleground states, the source said.

There has been some buzz during the past few days that the Bidens would be visiting L.

Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign announced a multimillion dollar, statewide ad buy for a spot that is most notable for who it singles out: Steve Garvey, the former Dodger great who is running as the highest profile Republican in a Democratic-dominated state.

In the spot, the narrator says, “Steve Garvey, the leading Republican, is too conservative for California — he voted for Trump, twice, and supported Republicans for years, including far right conservatives.

“Adam Schiff, the leading Democrat, defended democracy against Trump and the insurrectionists.”

Isn’t it to be expected that Schiff, one of the most prominent Trump foes in Congress, would want to highlight Garvey’s backing of the former Celebrity Apprentice host in the past two elections?

Perhaps, but these are the dynamics of an open primary, where the top two finishers in the March vote will go on to the general election, regardless of party.

Pundits have...

“I don’t think you can judge that from Barbie not getting nominated,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca) tonight to Bill Maher when asked by the host if the snub of the blockbuster’s director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie in the Oscars nominations means America is a patriarchy or not.

When Maher tried to link the Barbie discussion to Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign, Schiff put things in real perspective on Real Time. “I would vote for a corned beef sandwich over Donald Trump,” he quipped to applause don’t say that lightly, but at least a corned beef sandwich would have some intelligence and wouldn’t be a dictator on Day one.”

Just days after a full debate between the leading candidates for California’s open Senate seat, Rep. Schiff found himself in the slightly warm seat again tonight on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.

The three Democrats running for California’s open Senate seat sought to define their differences at their first debate tonight, but the the real flashpoint was with the sole Republican on the stage, Steve Garvey, and where he stood on Donald Trump.

After he said that he would support the former president if he returned to office, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca), Rep. Katie Porter (D-ca) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-ca) tried to get him to say whether he would vote for him again.

“What more do you need to see of what he’s done to say that you will not support him, that you will not vote to put him back in office?” Schiff asked.

“There’s identity politics at its finest right there, trying to paint me into the corner,” Garvey, the former Dodger star and political newcomer, responded. “Trying to call me Maga. … I am my own man.

Hollywood Democrats again might be facing conflicting loyalties and affinities, this time the race to fill the seat occupied for more than 30 years by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

With the March 5 open primary just weeks away, for many Hollywood politicos, the race is just starting to become a big topic of conversation.

Starting with Monday night’s first debate — sponsored by USC Dornsife, Fox 11 and Politico — that will see Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee and Republican Steve Garvey on the same stage, the coming weeks will see an accelerated schedule of events, advertising and fundraising.

So far, Schiff has been raising significantly more from showbiz donors than his closest rival, Porter, while both campaigns have highlighted their support from celebrity figures. They include Mark Hamill, who sent off fundraising emails for Schiff,...

USC Dornsife, Fox 11 Los Angeles and Politico are co-hosting the first debate of California’s candidates for an open U.S. Senate seat.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-ca), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-ca), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-ca) and Republican Steve Garvey have been invited to participate in the Jan. 22 event. It will start at 6 p.m. Pt at USC’s Bovard Auditorium, with Fox 11’s Elex Michaelson and Politico’s Melanie Mason co-moderating.

The participants were selected based on the results of a Politico/Morning Consult poll last month of likely primary voters. The poll showed Schiff leading, with Garvey in second followed by Porter and Lee.

Fox 11 will broadcast the debate along with the Fox affiliate Ktvu in the Bay Area. FoxLA.com and Politico.com will livestream the event, and Kfi-am will also broadcast it on its station and the iHeart Radio app.

On May 5, 1979, the writers of Fantasy Island made a strange decision. After 35 successful episodes in which guests paid to live out dreams such as being a king, marrying a millionaire, finding the fountain of youth and having a harem, they offered viewers “The Comic,” in which a guy gets to be a stand-up.

Over the next decades, industries would rise to whisk money from middle-aged middle management in exchange for fulfilling their deepest wishes. They got to put on Dodger uniforms with their names on the back and practice grounders with Steve Garvey at baseball fantasy camps. Play guitar in a band with Roger Daltrey at rock fantasy camps. Get B-12 shots in their ass with Gwyneth Paltrow at the In Goop Health conference. Which makes sense. Because those things are fun. People spend their weekends in softball leagues, playing in bar bands with co-workers and getting detox massages. They...

Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-ca), appointed earlier this month to fill the vacancy following the death of Dianne Feinstein, said that she will not run for the seat in the 2024 election.

Butler told The New York Times that she realized that “this is not the greatest use of my voice.” She later confirmed her decision in a statement in which she said that “knowing you can win a campaign doesn’t always mean you should run a campaign.”

“I know this will be a surprise to many because traditionally we don’t see those who have power let it go,” she said. “It may not be the decision people expected but it’s the right one for me.”

Butler’s entry would have changed the dynamics of the race, in which three House Democrats, Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff, are competing in the open primary next March. On Wednesday,...

Steve Garvey, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres all star in the 1970s and 80s, announced a bid for the U.S. Senate seat that was held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca), who died last month.

Garvey is running for the Republican nomination in a state that has been dominated by Democrats, said in an introductory video that he is running a “common sense campaign.”

His launch video also is heavy in images from his baseball stardom, as he tells viewers, “Over 50 years ago I came to California for the first time.”

“I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents,” he said. “I played for all of you.”

Garvey will compete in an open primary next March, when the top two finishers will go on to the November general election. State voter registration leans heavily Democratic, making up nearly 47%, according to Public Policy Institute of California. Given that dominance,...

Exclusive: Winter State Entertainment on Tuesday announced two feature docs on NFL Hall of Famer Mel Blount and MLB icon Tommy John that will lead its forthcoming slate, having wrapped principal photography on each right before the launch of the WGA strike.

The first film, Mel Blount: Whatever It Takes, on longtime Pittsburgh Steeler Blount, will offer a deep dive into his life journey, from his arduous beginning in a segregated Vidalia, Georgia to getting drafted in the 3rd round by the struggling Steelers, to the next 14 years, where he won four championships and cemented himself as the best at his position as cornerback. Upon retirement, Blount shifted his focus towards kids who were stuck in the system, opening two youth homes to give them a chance to turn their lives around, even when the community and KKK pushed back against him. Now, 40 years later, Blount has afforded this opportunity to hundreds.

Clint Howard – son of Rance, brother of Ron, uncle of Bryce, etc. – has been acting since he was a child, and over the decades has racked up over 250 credits, from Star Trek and The Andy Griffith Show to The Wraith, Carnosaur, Ticks, Little Nicky, Apollo 13, a couple Silent Night, Deadly Night sequels, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, 3 from Hell, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Ron Masak, the familiar character actor who as Cabot Cove Sheriff Mort Metzger was the beneficiary of Jessica Fletcher’s crime-solving prowess on the last eight seasons of Murder, She Wrote, has died. He was 86.

Spill a drink and smash the glass for the late, great Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, one of the most humane, compassionate, emotionally raw songwriters punk rock ever coughed up, not to mention the funniest. He twisted all the gender codes of rock & roll, casually shrugging off the masculine clichés punk inherited, pouring his heart out into three-minute vignettes. “Ever Fallen In Love,” “Get on Our Own,” “What Do I Get?,” “I Don’t Know What to Do With My Life” — these songs were emotionally urgent enough to make his peers sound like drooling cartoons.
