Delusions of Grandeur: Trump Claims ’60 Minutes’ Interview Walk Out Showed “Strength”
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Donald Trump once again allowed his immaturity to show, but in traditional Trump fashion, he’s acting as if his unruly behavior is a form of acceptable behavior. On Sunday (Oct 25), CBS aired the edited 60 Minute episode that featured Trump’s response to the “tough questions” asked by veteran journalist Lesley Stahl. The episode, which opens with a seemingly already upset Trump ended up bolstering a whopping 16 lies in less than 30 minutes, according to CNN fact-checkers, with the biggest and most notable lie being about his response to the pandemic and his still unrevealed healthcare plan. “You brought up a lot of subjects that were inappropriately brought up,” Trump said. “Well, I said, I’m going to ask you tough questions,” Leslie Stahl replied. Afte...
Donald Trump Gains Lil Pump’s Endorsement, But Loses 50 Cent’s
We’re just over a week away from the election; if you truly don’t know who you’re voting for yet, there’s probably not a lot that can be said to convince you one way or another. But if for some reason what millionaire rappers think might sway you, consider this: Lil Pump has now endorsed Donald Trump, just as former champion 50 Cent has jumped off the bandwagon. Lil Pump made his political allegiance known in a pair of Instagram posts. One featured the rapper’s face photoshopped into a picture of someone shaking Trump’s hand. “THE DAY I MET TRUMP,” read the caption, along with the gobbledygook hashtag #trump202022020. In a since-deleted follow-up video, the Harvard Dropout rapper made clear his stance was based on the same misleading tax numbers 50 Cent used in his own endorsement of the c...
Dave Bautista Slams Trump’s Tough Guy Act in New Joe Biden Ad: Watch
It’s no secret that Joe Biden has outraised the incumbent candidate considerably over the last few month. The surge in funds has led to a major uptick in advertising; just check out how many new ads get uploaded to Biden’s YouTube page daily. Many of those spots feature celebrities like Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Elliott, and Beastie Boys lending their voices to the cause. The latest A-lister to join the Biden train is none other than Drax the Destroyer himself, Dave Bautista. The former WWE star appears in a new ad called “That’s Toughness”. In the clip, Bautista wears a “Freedom” shirt while he explains the difference between acting like a tough guy and actually being one. “It’s easy to lie to people, it’s easy to bully people. That does not make you a tough guy,” he say...
Fiona Apple Sings the Gershwins’ “Bidin’ My Time” in Pro-Biden Voting PSA: Watch
In a year that has seen many become increasingly vocal about their politics, Fiona Apple has made sure her progressive voice has been heard. She’s marched in support of Black Lives Matter, pledged numerous song royalties to charities, and leant her voice to a video about documenting ICE agents. Now, the Fetch the Bolt Cutters singer has given a playful endorsement to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in a new voting PSA. Posted by her friend/roommate Zelda Hallman on Instagram, the clip sees Apple singing George and Ira Gershwin’s “Biddin’ My Time”, a song from their 1930 musical Girl Crazy. As she sings the ditty, she gives a not-so-subtle nod to Biden by whipping out her “I Voted” sticker right as the chorus hits. With a smile and a nod, she slaps on the sticker like an eye-pat...

Donald Trump Calls Sacha Baron Cohen a “Creep” After He Pranks Rudy Giuliani
“Creep” would be an appropriate word to describe Rudy Giuliani after witnessing his antics in the new Borat movie. However, when asked about his personal attorney’s actions in the film, Donald Trump said it was Sacha Baron Cohen who was the “creep.” Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump recalled his own appearance on Cohen’s Da Ali G Show in 2003. “Years ago, you know, he tried to scam me,” And I was the only one who said ‘no way.’” “That’s a phony guy. And I don’t find him funny,” Trump continued. “To me, he was a creep.” On Saturday, Cohen responded to Trump directly. “Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either. But yet the whole world laughs at you,” Cohen wrote on Twitter. “I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, ...
10 Takeaways From Kanye West’s Conversation With Joe Rogan
See several excerpts from his three-hour symphony with Rogan below. He’s prioritizing his relationship with God over the music industry: “When I made Sunday Service, I completely stopped rapping, because I don’t know how to rap for God. All my raps always had nasty jokes. When I went to the hospital in 2016, I wrote, ‘Started church in Calabasas.’ As we left from 2018 going into 2019, I said, ;I’m not going to let one Sunday go by without starting this church.; To start a ministry, I’m like the little drummer boy, where I’m saying, ‘This is all I got to bring, my drum.’ I might not be well versed in the Word, but I know how to make music and I know how to put this choir together. And all things can be made good for God. It qu...

Chris Evans Wants To Know: What’s Inspiring You To Vote This Year?
Today (October 24) is Vote Early Day, and MTV’s been celebrating with the Vote For Your Life Stream digital event, encouraging folks to get out there and cast their ballots. It’s a commemoration loaded with music performances and an onslaught of celeb appearances — and no civic duty-themed broadcast would be complete without Captain America himself, Chris Evans, working in partnership with actor Mark Kassen. The actors joined a video chat with students from the civic engagement program A Starting Point (ASP), run through the democracy-engaging organization Close Up, to ask an important question to young people who are getting the vote out for the very first time in 2020: “What’s the issue that inspired you guys to vote this year?” The answers, of course, were ...
Sacha Baron Cohen on Rudy Giuliani’s “Sexy-Time” Borat Scene: “It Is What It Is”
Borat may think Rudy Giuliani’s hotel encounter was just “innocent sexy-time between a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter,” but the man behind the character has a much different take. In a rare appearance out of character, Sacha Baron Cohen spoke about the incident on Good Morning America on Friday morning. “If the president’s lawyer found what he did there to be appropriate behavior, then heaven knows what he’s done with other female journalists in hotel rooms,” Cohen remarked. “I just urge everyone to watch the movie… it is what it is, he did what he did. Make your own mind to us, but it was pretty clear to us.” In the scene, 24-year-old actress Maria Bakalova, playing the role of Borat’s 15-year-old daughter Tutar Sagdiyev, sits down for an interview with Giuliani in a New York ...
Kid Rock Attended the Presidential Debate and Had to Be Told to Wear a Mask
Joe Biden might have the Avengers in his corner, but Trump is fighting back with… Kid Rock. The Detroit rocker has been seen everywhere, from joining Trump on the golf course to playing at his rallies. He was also in attendance at Thursday night’s debate at Nashville’s Belmont University — where he, unsurprisingly, had to be compelled to wear a mask. Rock was seated near eccentric PGA golfer/fellow Trump supporter John Daly, and they both seemed to think they could just plop down without masks. As face covers were required at the indoor event, a member of the Debate Commission eventually confronted the pair and provided them with masks to put on. As shared by Entertainment Weekly, a priceless picture (seen in the tweet below) captures Rock and Daly looking down in bewilderme...
