“Perverted and Contorted”: U.S. Secretary Sean Duffy Denounces Harvard in New Reality Show, Wife Says Revered School “Hates Us”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, whose education was a reality show called “The Real World,” is a dim bulb.

In his new reality show, called “The Great American Road Trip,” Duffy says he doesn’t want his second daughter, Paloma, to go to Harvard. Why? Conservative children from conservative homes, he tells Paloma, “become perverted and contorted.

The family — nine children, plus wife Rachel Campos Duffy, who he met on “The Real World” — travel to Boston and Cambridge to visit schools Paloma wants to attend. Paloma seems very clear headed and determined not to follow her parents’ narrow minded path.

Before the trip, Campos-Duffy, who works for Fox News, says that Harvard — one of the finest academic institutions in the world — “hates us.” She really believes it.

The mother incredibly says: “Why are we giving our money to people who hate us, hate our values?”

Duffy tells his daughter, “I think what happens is they have professionalized figuring out how they can take good young girls like you and I think corrupt their minds.

But when they get to Harvard, Duffy and Campos are only interested in visiting the Catholic church on campus. The resident clergy, Father Nathaniel Saunders, patiently explains to them that Harvard won’t destroy their daughter, and that the campus Catholic population is thriving. The expression of controlled horror on his face is hilarious.

Nevertheless, the Duffy come across as closed minded and uninterested in Harvard’s educational opportunities. It’s an eye opener because the Duffys represent a segment of the American population unimaginable to a lot of people. But they exist, sadly. Paloma seems like she knows exactly what’s going on. So does her older sister, already a college graduate. I feel sorry for these 9 children.

There are more episodes of “The Great American Road Trip,” but I don’t think I can take much more. (I will watch them, however.)

Pray for Paloma Duffy.
Full episode below. The Harvard discussion starts around 5 minutes.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Off the Record Dinner for Open AI Chief Sam Altman is the Talk of the Hamptons: Who’s on the Menu More Important than the Food

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Off the Record Dinner for Open AI Chief Sam Altman is the Talk of the Hamptons: Who’s on the Menu More Important than the Food

It’s the talk of the Hamptons.

Gwyneth Paltrow is having an off the record dinner for Open AI/Chat GPT chief Sam Altman.

You are not invited.

Why would an Oscar winning actress and purveyor of vaginal eggs be doing this?

Paltrow was an early investor in Open AI. Also, the founder of “Goop” loves powerful people. Altman is the guy of the moment, even if people hate him and revile AI. Paltrow wants to be in on the action.

Who’s on the menu? All the Hamptons regulars, I’m sure. The Seinfelds, the Fallons, whoever’s around. Would Paul McCartney go if he’s in town? Why not? Julianne Moore? The Spielbergs? It’s possible GP will use an Open AI algorithm to determine the guest list.

(Gone are the days in the Hamptons of Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, and James Jones. The ship has sailed on the literati as tastemakers.)

The curiosity about Altman should be intense as AI takes over our lives. Paltrow doesn’t need to throw a dinner if she wants to go into business with him. But this puts the spotlight on her as the hostess of the Hamptons’ most exclusive event of the season.

The dinner is set for August 29th, and it’s al fresco — meaning it’s outside, you’re not coming into Gwyneth’s house. (Everyone’s joking that it’s “AI fresco.”) It should be the usual tent and high end porta potties. Maybe everyone will get a candle that smells like fear.

Stay tuned…

Rosie O’Donnell Second Night of Kimmel: Calls Trump “President Oompa J Loompa,” Thanks Him for Bringing Her Back “Like Fascism and the Measles”

Rosie O’Donnell Second Night of Kimmel: Calls Trump “President Oompa J Loompa,” Thanks Him for Bringing Her Back “Like Fascism and the Measles”

Rosie O’Donnell’s second night guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel was a winner again.

Of course, she got a few zings at Donald Trump out of the way at the start of her monologue.

She said, “All of a sudden I’m re-famous, back in the spotlight all thanks to President Oompa J Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart. I couldn’t have done it without you, sweetie, it brought me back just like you did with fascism and then the measles.”

That bit got huge laughs from the rap studio audience.

Rosie’s main guest was Jean Smart, on her Emmy tour for “Hacks.” Smart, who’s been out campaigning day and night during this Emmy voting week, seemed a little tired but was endearing as ever. They discussed Smart’s five years playing fictional comic Deborah Vance. Smart said she’d been a big fan of Joan Rivers, but really loved Phyllis Diller.

A part of their multi-segment conversation was surprising, however. O’Donnell and Smart really put down the Met Gala, ensuring that both of them will be on Anna Wintour’s blacklist forever. Rosie said, during a discussion of dressing up for events, “I think what they should do for prisoners is send them to the Met Ball.” Smart concurred that she’d heard it was “torture.” It was very funny for the audience but it won’t be for Wintour if someone tells her about it.

O’Donnell, in her monologue, used some more of the material from her winning off Broadway show, “Common Knowledge,” talking about her 13 year old autistic child, Clay. And Rosie also featured a three year old girl named Leona she found on YouTube, who was shockingly beguiling singing “Let it Go” from “Frozen,” and showing off what may be perfect pitch.

What came across for the second night was that O’Donnell is a total star and professional. Even if she’s returning to Ireland for now, it’s pretty clear that Rosie could start a daytime talk show if she wants one once Trump is safely out of office. This Kimmel run is the best audition idea I’ve ever seen.

Madonna Gets Most MTV Video Music Award Noms — 11 — More than Sabrina, Taylor, or Ella Langley, Who’s Snubbed Except in Country

Madonna Gets Most MTV Video Music Award Noms — 11 — More than Sabrina, Taylor, or Ella Langley, Who’s Snubbed Except in Country

Madonna, 68 years young, has gotten 11 MTV VMA nominations today.

That’s the most of any artist this year. They’re all for her “Confessions II” album videos.

She shares a couple of the noms with Sabrina Carpenter, who made Madonna more relevant in 2026.

Madonna received more than Sabrina, Taylor Swift, or Ella Langley. Ella was totally snubbed except in the country category. Her song, “Choosin’ Texas,” has broken records at number 1 this summer. To me it sounds just like Albert Hammond’s 1972 hit, “It Never Rains in Southern California.”

Is there still an MTV? Do they show music videos? I don’t know. But congrats to the nominees!

PS If Madonna wins — and she will — let’s see if she mentions William Orbit, her famed collaborator who just died.

Summer Madness: “Spider Man” Hits $800 Million US Box Office Today, Tom Holland Said to Be Getting $100 Million of It for Himself

Summer Madness: “Spider Man” Hits $800 Million US Box Office Today, Tom Holland Said to Be Getting $100 Million of It for Himself

And it just keeps rolling.

“Spider Man: Brand New Day” arrives at the $800 million mark in the US today. It’s Tuesday. By next Tuesday, $900 million?

Probably.

There are reports that Tom Holland will make $100 million total as the movie is well over $2 billion worldwide.

That’s a lot of dough. What will Holland do with it? It will be interesting to see if he gets into philanthropy or buys more companies. He’s already got a beer brand. Really, with the right advice, the sky’s the limit!

Let’s not forget, he’s now married to Zendaya. I don’t want to jinx them. A great future for them, we wish them well!

Meantime, Sony may try and get Spider Man or Peter Parker into those four Beatles movies. Beatles fans on social media are not liking what they see from set photos and videos. The costumes and make up are not giving much confidence. The only actor who seems right is Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, but she always is spot on.

Stay tuned…

TOLDYA: Vanity Fair Couldn’t Get a Celebrity for September Cover, Went with Fashion Designer Marc Jacobs After Miley Cyrus Said No

TOLDYA: Vanity Fair Couldn’t Get a Celebrity for September Cover, Went with Fashion Designer Marc Jacobs After Miley Cyrus Said No

I told you!

Vanity Fair could not get a celebrity for its September issue. They were forced to go with fashion designer Marc Jacobs instead.

Vanity Fair is NOT a fashion magazine. That’s what Vogue is for at Conde Nast. Marc Jacobs means nothing to the magazine’s readers. He’s very talented, but not a draw.

This happened because singer Miley Cyrus backed out at the last minute, according to my sources.

This is a real blow for the magazine’s new staff including editor Mark Guiducci.

As Dick Stolley and Pat Ryan used to say at the original People magazine, when in trouble go with television. Vanity Fair could have embraced the Emmy Awards for September with lots of shows and actors to choose from.

Did they all say NO????

This is an abomination for a celebrity magazine. Advertorial on the cover, and the September one at that. (See cover, scroll below. This happened so late they had to use an artist rendering instead of a commissioned photo! Holy moly!)

I think I told you, years ago when I edited Fame magazine I once had a nightmare that the magazine came out and the cover was just trees! No person! No star for the newsstand. I awoke in a sweat, and immediately got Bruce Willis’s publicist, Paul Bloch, to say yes. The Marc Jacobs cover must have everyone at Conde Nast dopey from no sleep. 

What happened here? When Radhika Jones left as editor, and Anna Wintour replaced her with Guiducci, Anna’s daughter’s friend, the magazine fired all of its Hollywood staff. Most of them came from Entertainment Weekly and had the connections to bring in covers. A lot of the time, Jones didn’t want those choices, it was her fault they didn’t happen. But now the Hollywood staff is gone. This is the result.

Rosie O’Donnell Scores Big Time On Her First Night Guest Hosting Kimmel, Gives Audience Copies of Madonna’s Album, Calls Trump “Mango Mussolini”

Rosie O’Donnell is back big time.

Her first night guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live was a grand slam homerun.

Rosie is a natural at stand up and live performance and she knows how to keep a talk show moving and entertaining.

That’s what came through tonight as she arrived on stage in a festooned pink jacket with her gray locks shining. She made only a slight acknowledgment of Donald Trump at the top of the show before launching into material from her hit off Broadway show, “Common Knowledge.” She did call him “the Mango Mussolini,” drawing big laughs. At one point she taunted him not using his name. She said to the camera, “I know you’re watching!”

CARLY SIMON’S NEW ALBUM DEBUTS TOP 10

The audience ate up her stories of moving to Ireland with her autistic child and getting away from Trump and the looming threat of things like Project 25.

If nothing else, Rosie’s move to Ireland was a big step in her renaissance. She’s returned to the US fresh as a daisy, totally revived, and funnier than ever. The live Kimmel audience could not have been more delighted. Plus, they went home with copies of Madonna’s new album, “Confessions II,” a nice touch since the two women have been best friends for decades.

Rosie’s interviews with Hannah Waddingham and Ana Gasteyer were just the right speed — upbeat and well researched. Rosie knows how to lay back and let a guest tell their stories but still maintain obvious interest in the conversation. She knows how to steer them to a point.

VANITY FAIR’S LAST MINUTE COVER SPELLS TROUBLE FOR MAGAZINE

A nice touch: a separate taped moment remembering Hayden Panettiere, who died overnight. Hayden, Rosie recalled, had been a charming child on her original talk show.

So the week has begun, with Rosie, again, heckling Trump a little but not enough to make the hour about him. That shows a lot of restraint. We’ll see how long she can keep that up. But really, it’s a great relief to have Rosie back on TV.

UPDATE The Original Carnegie Deli Permanent Return Confirmed — Made Famous in Woody Allen’s “Broadway Danny Rose,” Closed in 2016

UPDATE TUES 8/18 1:30PM I’ve confirmed that the Carnegie is coming back. An opening date hasn’t been set yet, but it seems like September or October at the latest. The original family is behind it, spearheaded by third generation granddaughter Sarri Harper.

More details are coming. The Carnegie is also sponsoring a pop up at the US Open starting this week in Forest Hills. The smell of pickles is in the air! Also, yes, the signage is up on Seventh Avenue and 52nd St where the Roxy Deli aka Stage Deli used to be.

Now, we need is the 21 Club, Toots Shor’s, Lundy’s, and Luchow’s, and all will be right with the world!

MONDAY NIGHT: What’s going on here?

The Carnegie Deli — the real one — closed at the end of 2016.

The famed salon of salted meats was made memorable in Woody Allen’s “Broadway Danny Rose.”

But well before that, the Carnegie was known for its lean pastrami and corned beef, and gigantic sandwiches.

Family disagreements closed it down, and life has never been the same.

But now the Carnegie Deli is dropping hints on social media at an imminent return. To the old space on Seventh Avenue and 54th St? Unclear. But the video looks like they’re moving into the old Stage Deli space two blocks down on Seventh in what has been recently the Roxy Deli.

If the Carnegie is coming back even for a week, there will be lines around the block 24/7. I can smell the pastrami now. Oy vey! Call my cardiologist!

Stay tuned…

Emmy Voting Starts Today: Over the Weekend, “Hacks,” the JFK Jr-Carolyn Bessette Series Were Among Those Entertaining Voters

Emmy Voting Starts Today: Over the Weekend, “Hacks,” the JFK Jr-Carolyn Bessette Series Were Among Those Entertaining Voters

Final voting for the Emmy Awards starts today and runs all week.

Over the weekend the big guns came out for last minute campaigning. These shows want votes more than Trump in Georgia in 2020.

HBO’s “Hacks” put on a live show Friday night at the Fonda Theater. Jean Smart, looking for a fifth Emmy, performed as her character, Deborah Vance. All the other actors from the show did the same.

At Chateau Marmont, there was a tastemaker dinner for the cast of “Love Story,” the FX miniseries about John Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette.

Netflix had a Q&A with two time Oscar winner Sally Field, followed by a reception at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel for their movie, “Remarkably Bright Creatures.” Sally’s co-star, an octopus, did not participate. (It was being served at Koi.)

HBO Max had an Emmy nominee event at NYA WEST in Hollywood with Lisa Kudrow (who should win Best Actress in a Comedy for “The Comeback”) and all the folks from “The Pitt” — which will win Best Drama, Actor, Actress, and everything else.

Apple has had a flurry of events for “Widow’s Bay,” the comedy they hope will surprise everyone and beat “Hacks.”

There was also a two day TV Academy festival called “Televerse” with panels featuring various nominated shows from “Abbott Elementary” to “Top Chef.” Fans could buy a $400 all-in pass and go to everything, maybe meet stars and get their pictures taken. TV Academy members only had to pay $225 for the all access pass.

So far, no word on whether “The Bear” had its own gourmet dinner. Maybe that would be too on the nose.

Mariska Hargitay is hosting the Emmys on NBC this year, on Monday September 14th — during the 10 Days of Atonement between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. By the time the latter comes, expect synagogues crowded with Emmy participants!

Here’s a post from Linda Cardellini, one of my favorite TV actresses. I’m not even sure what show she’s in but vote for her please.

RIP: “Heroes,” “Nashville,” “Guiding Light” Actress Hayden Panettiere, 36, Dead from Cardiac Arrest According to Medical Examiner

RIP: “Heroes,” “Nashville,” “Guiding Light” Actress Hayden Panettiere, 36, Dead from Cardiac Arrest According to Medical Examiner

Really tragic.

Hayden Panettiere, 36, died of cardiac arrest according to medical examiner in South Carolina.

Penettiere starred as an adult in TV hits like “Heroes” and “Nashville.”

The talented actress, who started working as a child in soap operas like “Guiding Light,” lived her life like she was in a melodrama. For some reason, she embraced being tabloid fodder as she suffered and survived alcohol and substance abuse, and domestic abuse from her boyfriend.

It appears she did not commit suicide or was killed, according to first responders reports.

Tributes are pouring in from friends and acquaintances.

Actor Tim Allen wrote on Twitter: “I am shocked and so sad as the passing of Hayden Panettiere. She played my daughter in the movie Joe Somebody. The fondest memories of that movie were moments around her. She is a wonder and my prayers are with her family.”

Hayden’s “Guiding Light” mother actress Beth Chamberlin wrote on Instagram: “She She was the most brilliant child actor I’ve ever seen.” (See her post below.)

Condolences.
