Poet W.B. Yeats came to recognize something precious and profound at center of his this-worldly identity during family vacations in County Sligo: his Irishness. In 1923, at the age of 58, Yeats accepted the Nobel Prize the only way he could — as an Irishman on behalf of Ireland. What motivated the committee was “[Yeats’s] always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.”
Bruce Springsteen was arrested for DWI and reckless driving in his home state, it was revealed Wednesday — days after he appeared in a much-hyped Super Bowl commercial for Jeep.
The “Born to Run” icon, 71, was busted Nov. 14 at Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a spokesperson for the National Park Service said.
Celebrity detractors of Donald Trump are taking to Twitter to cheer the start of the former president’s Senate impeachment trial on a charge of inciting insurrection, with many calling for a swift conviction.
Actress Alyssa Milano was among those who ridiculed Trump’s lead defense attorney Bruce Castor, who argued on Tuesday that it was unconstitutional to hold a trial after Trump left office.
Critics slammed iconic singer Bruce Springsteen and the Jeep vehicle brand after the two collaborated on an ad calling for a return to “the middle.”
Springsteen has a history of making outlandish, politically-driven claims and comments attacking Republicans, most notably former President Donald Trump. Springsteen was one of a host of celebrities to make a public pledge to leave the United States if Trump was reelected in 2020.
As so many of us sit back and are subjected to the continued meltdown of various people who “hate” President Donald Trump, an affliction has now metastasized to hating his 75 million supporters.
The latest case in point is Nancy Sinatra, Frank Sinatra’s now 80-year-old daughter. In an interview with the Guardian, within which she ‘hopes for peace in the US,’ the newspaper reported her feelings about Mr. Trump: “The last four years, though, have taken a toll on her mental health. ‘I couldn’t believe that this great nation had sunk so low,’ she says. ‘I’ll never forgive the people that voted for him, ever. I have an angry place inside of me now. I hope it doesn’t kill me.’”
“…This is the same celebrity class that weighs in on, well, everything — immigration, voting rights, diversity, gun laws, Black Lives Matter. You name the issue, and stars have plenty to say about it. Heck, they can’t stop talking … except when the subject turns to free speech, apparently.
How ironic, since it’s the one issue they’re the most qualified to explore.”
The dreamy, mixed up, unfunny comedian who rambles about Israel and BDS.
Sarah Silverman is a stand-up comic who makes much, in her routines, of being Jewish. It’s part of, it’s a major part of, it’s far too much a part of, her shtick; what isn’t about being Jewish is about sex. I find her treatment of both topics distinctly unfunny. She is critical of Israel in an offhand, careless sort of way; she repeats what she’s heard elsewhere, without looking into the matter herself. Lots of people she knows “support BDS” (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) so, in her ditzy way, she does, too. She does not understand the real intent of that sinister movement.
Her heinous crime was to be married to the man who exposed the fathomless depths of leftist hate and hypocrisy.
Remember those halcyon days of yesteryear when American comedians managed to poke fun at politicians on both sides of the aisle and make all Americans laugh together, instead of dividing us by mocking grotesque stereotypes of Americans in flyover country? Remember when late-night television was dominated by Johnny Carson, who managed to make clever quips about current events without descending into vicious snark aimed at half the country?
Lena Dunham Fantasizes About Spending Holidays at White House When ‘I Am Hunter Biden’s Beautiful Wife‘
Yeah, this isn’t creepy or dystopian at all. It’s just certified weirdo Tom Cruise purchasing robots to patrol his movie sets checking for Covid violations.
Mere days after the New York Times published an article supporting the cancellation of a teen girl by a classmate over a racial slur, the publication ran a story defending Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin’s wife, after it was revealed that she faked being a Spaniard for years.
While the Times has preached against forms of cultural borrowing before, having recently published an article critiquing tiki bars as “racial inequity and cultural appropriation,” it graciously granted the yoga instructor a platform to express her belief that she did nothing wrong.
How you say . . . scam artist?
Hilaria Baldwin, the epically thirsty, self-identified Spanish wife of actor Alec, has been outed as a basic white woman from Massachusetts, real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas.
Escandalo!
The cringiest piece of evidence is a clip from the “Today” show, in which Hilaria, speaking in a Spanish accent while cosplaying as some kind of culinary expert, says, “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in Eng — cucumbers.”
The fading celebrity trophy life ranks as one of the easiest jobs of modern life.
Refresh your fillers enough that the Daily Mail can never describe you as “tired-looking” in a supposedly candid shot staged outside, pop out just enough children that your trainer and your plastic surgeon can nip you back into a size two, and develop just enough of a rapport with your mindless friends that they’ll buy whatever FitTea or slave-labor made swimsuit you’re paid to tag in your inexplicably popular Instagram posts.
Oh, and perhaps don’t pretend to be a borderline-racist caricature of a barely literate Latina woman when you’re actually whiter than Wonder Bread.
…COVID-19 has made it clear there is a deep divide between regular people and the celebrity class. Celebs complained about living in their coastal mansions during the pandemic or lectured us with “we’re all in this together” videos while breaking lock down orders. And let’s not forget they tortured us with yet another rendition of the annoying John Lennon song “Imagine,” because they actually believe it somehow makes us feel better to hear Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Fallon sing “Imagine there’s no heaven,” while an overreaching government shutters our business and separates us from loved ones.
In pursuit of a proper left-wing position, sometimes you just can’t catch a break.
Actress Debra Messing’s learned that the hard way.
In a tweet last week, the star took a stab at an attack on the President of the United States.
She told the world she hopes Donald Trump goes to jail, and that — she clearly insinuated — he’s raped by lots of inmates.
