Trump Posts List of Presidents, Calls Himself “The Greatest,” Lists Obama, Biden, Carter as “Worst,” Omits JFK, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman

0

Donald Trump thinks he’s The Greatest of all 45 presidents.

In an image on Truth Social, he positions 34 presidents as Great, Near Great, Average, Below Average, and Failures.

He completely omits JFK, Lyndon Johnson, and Harry Truman.

His failures include his sworn enemies, Biden and Obama, and Jimmy Carter.

Also missing is Richard Nixon and both Bushes.

His list of “Great” presidents includes FDR, who stood against everything Trump is for. He also likes Lincoln — who would snub him if they were in the same room, as well as Jefferson, Washington, and Woodrow Wilson.

He includes in that group Andrew Jackson, who caused massive suffering with orders to displace Native Americans while he championed slavery. Jackson actually would be second or third from the bottom of an intellectually formed evaluation.

But Trump, who never attended a college class and has never read anything, has no idea what he’s talking about. It’s just mental diarrhea designed to promote himself and attack his enemies.

Of course he hates Kennedy and Johnson, who championed civil rights. You’d think he’d like Truman, who dropped the bomb on Japan. I’m sure he thinks FDR did that, even though Roosevelt was dead and had created massive opportunities for workers.

Oh, and Bill Clinton? He’s just average, even though he balanced the budget and kept us on prosperous path without hurting anyone (except, of course, Monica Lewinsky.)

What an ass.

Trump Continues to Cash in On Dolly Parton, Posts AI Portrait of Them Arm in Arm Walking Together at White House: She Actually Loathed Him

0

Donald Trump continues to cash in on Dolly Parton.

He has some serious mental issues. Everything she stood for he detested, like gay and trans rights, all civil and human rights, literacy, Black Lives Matter.

Twice during his first administration she turned down Presidential medals from him. Dolly was a lady, though, and refused to publicly denounce Trump. Instead, she gave interviews like this one below.

But Trump is playing to the country music audience and less educated voters who will believe this picture actually happened. MAGA is very gullible, and he knows it.

It’s totally AI. Like all his postings of himself as a warrior, a muscled hero, and a pal of Jesus.

He is insane.

As part of this grift, Trump ordered flags flown at half mast on all government buildings — something he wouldn’t do for Jimmy Carter, a former president.

Did You Know There’s a “Call My Agent!” Movie? Netflix is Keeping it Quiet But Cult French TV Series is a Feature Starting September 10th

0

Hey, it’s a shock to me.

There’s a movie coming from the cult French TV series, “Call My Agent!”

Who knew? I sure didn’t, because Netflix sends no information. They’re keeping it quiet.

But the trailer looks hilarious. The film debuts on Netflix September 10th. The series was so good, and had such a following, I’m sure someone will watch the movie. I know I will!

The film stars all the regulars from the cast, but as far as I can tell, they didn’t include any Hollywood stars. Maybe it’s a surprise.

Thanks to the folks at Obscured publicity, I have this description:

Five years after the agency closed its doors, Andréa is finally ready to direct her first feature film. When her lead actor quits and she falls out with her producer, she joins forces with Noémie—now a successful reality TV producer—believing she can easily manipulate her. But as she faces a complete recasting, on-set disasters, and a legal battle threatening the custody of her daughter, everything begins to unravel. One by one, the former ASK colleagues converge on this high-tension film set. Each arrives with their own role, their ego, and a fair share of old grudges—little do they know what this reunion truly has in store for them.

Dolly Parton’s Outspoken Sister, Stella, Says Singer Would Try Experimental Drugs If No Cure for Her to Help Others in the Future

0

Stella Parton is remembering sister Dolly on social media.

Stella is an outspoken liberal whose daily social media posts are very entertaining. She can also really sing — see below. It’s in the genes.

Stella says, Dolly was “One of the most generous, thoughtful, and kind people I’ve ever known.” She adds that Dolly told her she’d try experimental drugs even if there was no hope for her, just to help others in the future.

Dolly Parton is heading for sainthood at this point. God bless.

Dog Days of August: Jacob Elordi’s James Bond Shot Dimming with Ridley Scott’s “Dog Stars” Barking Up the Wrong Tree with Lousy Reviews

0

It’s not good news for Jacob Elordi.

For a while there he was in the lead to play James Bond in the Denis Villeneuve film.

He even made a commercial for Chanel called “The Chase,” with Alfonso Cuaron directing. It was a Bond-like audition.

But back then, Cuaron was in the running to direct Bond 26, until he wasn’t.

Elordi could have used a big movie to convince the Bond producers, Amy Pascal and David Heyman, that he’d be a good choice for 007. Amazon/MGM might have been enthused, too.

But tonight, Elordi stars in Ridley Scott’s “The Dog Stars,” and — no offense to pooches — it’s a dog. Rotten Tomatoes critics have it just 38%.

It’s not Elordi’s fault, and he’s gotten some notices. But the overall film is not cutting it. This is following “Wuthering Heights,” which has already been expunged from our memories, and the final season of “Euphoria,” which is best forgotten.

It’s not like Elordi isn’t trying hard. But he’s also seemingly unaware that his public romance with a Kardashian — Kendall Jenner — isn’t doing him any favors.

The good better right now for James Bond is that Jack Barton, a relative unknown, i in first place right now in the race. Elordi and Callum Turner are still mentioned, but the latter also has a big flop on his hands with “One Night Only” which really played for one night only.

I’m still not convinced that Nicholas Hoult, who’s the right age and height, and a damn good actor, isn’t in the mix. He just dropped out of the HBO Harry Potter series for “scheduling difficulties.” He seems more like Bond than these others. Going for Barton would necessitate a huge marketing plan since no one knows who he is.

As for “The Dog Stars,” look for more cliches and metaphors in headlines this weekend.

Jelly Roll Calls Trump a “Cheeseball,” More Savage Guest Hosting Jimmy Kimmel Than Rosie O’Donnell: Blistering Monologues Have MAGA in An Uproar

0

UPDATE: On tonight’s show, Jelly Roll compared Donald Trump to a cheeseball. He also introduced a drug called “Donjaro.” Jelly Roll was more brutal in his third night than in the preceding outings. (Video below.)

We didn’t see this coming.

Last week, even though she nudged him a bit, Rosie O’Donnell never said Donald Trump’s name in her stint as guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

Now, country pop singer Jelly Roll has savagely attacked Trump by name in his monologues as follow up guest host.

MAGA is incensed. Twitter is aflame with conservative viewers very upset that Jelly Roll, who they thought was on their side, turns out be funny and bright.

Is this the real Jelly Roll, the wonder? Could be. Having dropped 100 pounds and a wife, Jelly Roll actually told his detractors not to download his music if they don’t like what he has to say.

Rosie must be back in Ireland thinking, Wait, I should have gone harder. But no, her monologues were perfect going against expectations. Jelly Roll has done the same thing. Will he lose his audience? Or gain a whole new one? The latter, I suspect.


Sign of the Times: Harry Styles Opens Triumphant 2 Month, 30 Show Run at MSG with Surprise New Opening Number Tribute to Dolly Parton

0

Harry Styles took Madison Square Garden by storm tonight.

It was the first of his 30 show, 2 month run at the Garden. Sold out? Oh, yes. Literally to the rafters.

He opened the show for the first with his song, “Dance No More,” followed by the tour debut of “Carolina.” The whole show set was a complete re-do from his long international tour that included multiple dates in England, Mexico, and elsewhere.

For some reason, Harry omitted the popular song, “Golden,” which had been included in every other set up until now. 

Toward the end of his 21 song set, Harry — foregoing his previous flamboyant costumes for a business chic — did something unusual and touching. He thanked his fans, the band, and “everyone who made the tour possible.” He added “the people who inspired him,” and then Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” boomed out over the Garden.

All 20,000 fans sang along before Styles sang his closer, “Sign of the Times,” a bigger hit now than when it was released NINE years ago. Nine years! Is that possible?

Facebook Frenzy: Powerful Trailer for Sorkin’s “Social Reckoning” Comes on Heels of $17 Billion Settlement, Evil Zuckerberg Center Stage

0

It’s not a good day for Facebook aka Meta, and Mark Zuckerberg.

The company has settled for $17 billion the case brought against them claiming Facebook was causing a social media addiction among kids.

Clever Sony Pictures now drops a new trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s “The Social Reckoning” that is devastating for Zuckerberg, who is depicted as the Devil.

The trailer makes the movie — starring Jeremy White and Jeremy Strong, and Oscar winner Mikey Madison — seem like “Spotlight.” If the film is as good as the trailer, Sony will have a winner.

Strong — in the trailer — looks he’s going to tell White, “You can’t handle the truth” a la Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men.” And you know what? He’d be right.

“The Social Reckoning” is the non-sequel to “The Social Network,” which Sorkin wrote. Now he’s directing and writing. The first movie’s director, David Fincher, has directed the non-sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, called “The Mid-adventures of Cliff Booth.” Stay focused!

Miley Cyrus Remembers Her Friend and Godmother “Aunt Dolly” Parton: “Our most sacred moments were private,” Says She’ll Write a Song for Her

0

Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus had very close connections. Dolly was Miley’s godmother. They performed together, and Miley recorded and performed “Jolene” in the past as a tribute to Dolly.

Now Miley says she’ll write a song about Dolly because that’s what she would have wanted.

Miley’s post is shorter than I thought it would be, but as she says, “Our most sacred moments were private.”


Dolly Parton Tribute Music Sales Skyrocket: Beloved Country Singer Takes Over iTunes with 60 Spots Including Most of the Top 30

0

Dolly Parton is in heaven, but here on Earth the tributes continue.

Dolly’s death yesterday has triggered an avalanche of sales unlike any I’ve ever seen as a memorial.

On iTunes, Dolly has the top 5 singles. But she also no less than SIXTY of the top 100 spots. Her records occupy most of the top 30. The whole chart has shifted because of fans turning out for Dolly.

It’s kind of amazing. Any song with her name on it, any collaboration, and all her solo records are included.

At number 1 is Dolly’s version of her signature song, which she wrote, “I Will Always Love You.” Whitney Houston’s version is at number 14.

And that’s just singles. Dolly also has 8 of the Top 10 spots on the album chart. Then Dolly fans have lodged 17 more spots in the top 40, bringing the total to 25 of 40.

There 14 more albums on the way to 100, including Whitney Houston’s Greatest Hits. So the total is 39 out of 100.

And that’s just on iTunes. Amazon sales are similar. Dolly has 8 of the top 10 CDs or vinyl, and dozens more through the top 100 in physical sales.

Parton’s catalog goes back 60 years and is chock full of other releases. Plus, inevitably, there will a series of unreleased music that will follow. Fans are grabbing up anything with Dolly’s name on it, including things like Kenny Rogers’ greatest hits.
