Trump Says: “You can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread, you get shot, you get mugged, you get raped”

What world is Donald Trump living in?

Today he said, “You can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread, you get shot, you get mugged, you get raped.”

It’s not just the crime statistics, which are way down. But Trump hates the idea of cities, populated by diverse people, and only knows to instigate fear. None of this is true. American cities are thriving.

Popular? Democrats Trump Republicans in First Night of Convention TV Ratings

Nielsen ratings is reporting that last night was huge for the Democrats.

Their convention scored 20 million viewers over all networks including CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and all the broadcast channels.

That’s higher than any of the first three nights of the Republican convention. The fourth night of the RNC scored 25 million. That could be eclipsed this Thursday.

Last night’s DNC was a lovefest, with one great speaker after another. Highlights included Hillary Clinton, Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Jill Biden, and of course the powerful and emotional speech from Joe Biden.

The show ran from 10pm to 12:30am on the East Coast.

The Democrats didn’t stop in their accurate attacks on Trump and the GOP. But they did something the Republicans didn’t: they offered hope, a path forward, and used the word “joy” as much as possible.

Unlike the GOP, the Dems do not think we live in a ruined third world country where everything has gone to hell. They believe in the future. It was a reassuring night of TV about America.

Tonight comes Barack Obama, who should send the ratings soar.

RIP Bennifer 2.0 as JLo Files For Divorce from Ben Affleck, Says It Ended Back in April

TMZ reports that JLo has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

Lopez says in the filing that the marriage ended back in April. This was their second time around, but first marriage.

According to the site, there was no prenup and there’s still no settlement. They each have untold millions so there won’t be too much trouble extricating them from this thing.

During the marriage, Affleck has produced several hits. But Lopez lost $20 million of her own money gambling on an album and longform video that fizzled.

The album and the documentary, all about their love story as told by Lopez, seems to have preceded the end of the marriage by 10 weeks. The album was called “This is Me…Then.” The film was called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

Their only collaboration was a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Lopez has spent the summer shedding the whole ordeal, traveling to Europe and then to Hamptons. I was told that someone in the Hamptons is driving the highest-end Porsche with license plated “Ben Jen.”

They bought a $60 million mansion. Did they ever hear the doors creak? Swat a mosquito? Clean up the kitchen? Check the sprinklers?

And so it goes.

Sign o’ the Times: Hot Movie Star Glen Powell Already Going for TV Series, on Hulu

Sign o’ the Times: Hot Movie Star Glen Powell Already Going for TV Series, on Hulu

Glen Powell has been the hot movie star of 2024. He’s had huge hits with “Anyone But You” and “Twisters.” His own “Hit Man” was a Netflix hit and could have done very well at the box office.

But Powell is part of a new generation. In the old days, movie stars only took TV series when their careers on the big screen were waning. It’s all different now. Movies are a big gamble. So Powell is headed to the small screen.

Powell will play a big college football star who loses his luster in some kind of scandal, changes his name and moves to a small town, where he’ll play for a local team. Call it “Ted Lasso,” because you know he will save the team.

Or call it “Coach,” with a twist.

Powell is 35, so it’s unclear how long his title character, “Chad Powers,” has been out of work. Steve Zahn co-stars in this comedy co-created and executive produced by Powell and Michael Waldron.

“Chad Powers” will be on Hulu, which has quickly become the hot streaming platform.

James Taylor Speaks Out After Getting Bumped from the DNC Show Last Night (Watch Here)

James Taylor got bumped from last night’s DNC show when it ran late.

He can blame Joe Biden, who got a five minute ovation prior to his speech and four minutes more after.

Taylor was supposed to sing Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend.” But on the East Coast it was so late, convention organizers pulled the plug. Maybe Taylor will get a rain check for the inauguration. Thanks to Susan Page for taking some video of the rehearsal and posting it to Twitter.

SOS Anna Wintour Forced With a Gun or Stiletto Her Head to Invite Strangers Into Her Office for $5,000 a Pop

SOS!

Vogue editor Anna Wintour has been forced by Conde Nast to invite strangers into her office.

Anna has sent a message — wearing sunglasses, possibly with a gun or stiletto to her head — on Instagram. She looks angry. She might be sending a message with her eyes but we can’t seem them. Still, her demeanor suggests that this is against her will.

Has she been taken hostage by Roger Lynch? (He’s the guy that runs Conde Nast, or what’s left of it.)

For $2,000 to $5,000 you can spend the day at Vogue this October trying on very small clothes or being reprimanded or maybe getting fired from a job you don’t have. From the tone of the message, it’s all very serious and troubling and disturbing.

Anna will only give opening remarks, then quickly decamp before anyone can ask her for a ticket to the Met Ball or even god forbid shake hands.

Count me in!

Trump Aims Lies at Biden on His Social Media Platform as Stock Drops to New Low Following DNC Celebration

Trump Aims Lies at Biden on His Social Media Platform as Stock Drops to New Low Following DNC Celebration

Investors in Donald Trump’s Trump Media obviously got spooked last night.

With a rousing celebration of Joe Biden on the DNC’s first night, Trump Media stock has dropped to a new all time low.

As of 2:20pm, Trump stock for his Truth Social is at $21.70. That’s a dollar lower than yesterday, and 50 points lower than its beginnings earlier this year.

One reason for the drop is that Trump took to Truth Social today to attack Biden. This is called ‘not reading the room.’ It’s bizarre but no more bizarre than anything else Trump has done.

Every single word of Trump’s is a lie. Who would invest in this company?

Wacky Jack Schlossberg, JFK Grandson, Will Introduce Barack Obama Tonight at the DNC

Jack Schlossberg is taking time from paddleboarding to address the Democratic National Convention tonight.

Wacky Jack, 31, is famous for his nutty social media posts in which he sings, dances, and tries out various accents.

Schlossberg has no actual job, but serves as Kennedy grandson with aplomb.

He says on Instagram tonight he’ll precede former President Barack Obama on stage at the convention.

Will he sing? Will he dance? Will he try out accents? I sure hope so. Maybe he’ll rail against his eve nuttier cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr.

BOX OFFICE: “It Ends with Us” Hits $100 Million as Negative Publicity Starts to Pull it Down

BOX OFFICE: “It Ends with Us” Hits $100 Million as Negative Publicity Starts to Pull it Down

It’s a remarkable achievement: Justin Baldoni’s “It Ends with Us” hit the $100 million mark last night.

Costing $55 million, the Blake Lively domestic drama has essentially broken even. International box office is another $82 million. So that’s all gravy.

But Monday’s receipts were down 55% from last Monday, so the novelty is wearing off. Still, “Ends” could end around $150 million.

Not bad considering all the negative publicity around the film. The director Baldoni is in a public conflict with Lively, although no one knows why exactly. The scuttlebutt is that Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds usurped power during the shoot. Now Baldoni and Lively can’t be seen in public together, don’t talk, and yadda yadda yadda.

Did the scandal turn audiences off? No, it seems to have fueled them. It makes you think they did this on purpose, and the controversy is contrived. But they’d all have to get Oscars if that’s the case.

New Official Poster for Coppola’s “Megalopolis” A Riff on or Rip Off of “Star Wars” Light Saber?

New Official Poster for Coppola’s “Megalopolis” A Riff on or Rip Off of “Star Wars” Light Saber?

Talk about weird.

The new poster for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” is either riffing on or ripping off a famous movie.

The only image is of Adam Driver holding an architect’s T square vertically.

But part of is lit up like a “Star Wars” light saber. May the farce be with you.

Driver, of course, starred as the villain Kylo Ren in the final three “Star Wars” movies. He’s best known for killing his father, the hero Han Solo, something most fans prefer not to think about.

It’s unclear how many people actually know what a T square is at this point. But they know a light saber.

Is it an inside joke — Coppola and “Star Wars” director George Lucas are old friends — or is it an actual rip off?

Of course, there’s another option — that the object is a lamp, lit up, but with a long base.

“Megalopolis” opens September 27th. It might play at the Telluride Film Festival. Advance reviews are mixed to negative. Coppola couldn’t get a distributor, so Lions Gate is doing the work although it’s like Coppola didn’t get any money from them.
