Trump Expects World Series Winners Dodgers to Come to The White House Again, But Shutdown and ICE May Be a Factor This Time

Donald Trump expects the World Series winning Los Angeles Dodgers to come see him in The White House.

But will they go? Many of them are persons of color and immigrants. Trump has attacked both groups viciously, especially in Los Angeles where ICE has been merciless in kidnappings, arrest, and deportations. He’s also now withholding food stamp payments during the longest government shutdown in history.

Some of the players may accept the invitation, but it would be easy to excuse them. Indeed, actually going might be the best look.

Nevertheless, we’ve seen athletes who’ve supported Trump in the past including former New York Yankee Mariano Rivera.

Will the Dodgers come see the demolished East Wing and eat Big Macs? Will Barron make an appearance to meet the players? Or will he remain a ghost?

Many championship teams skipped the White House visit during Trump’s first term. Last April, however, the Dodgers did show up when they came to play the Washington Nationals. But that was before Trump’s authoritarian regime was in full force.

Trump wrote:

“Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!! A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter. So many stars made it all happen. Also, congratulations to ownership. What a great job they have done. SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

Nicki Minaj, Desperate for Sales, Thanks Donald Trump for Post Attacking Nigerians Who Are “Persecuting” Christians

Rapper Nicki Minaj is desperate.

More than a month ago she started promoting an album that doesn’t come out until March 26th of next year.

Her sales in 2025 are at around 800,000 — mostly from streaming. She’s sold only 20,000 paid downloads or CDs.

That’s not enough for her lifesyle. So now she’s thrown in with Donald Trump. She’s been praising him recently on social media. But now she’s sent him a thank you note for an insane post about persecuted Christians.

She writes:
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other. Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice. Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.

Publicly turning to Trump is a decision she’s made. She’s also been dissing old friends like Jay Z. I guess we’ll see how this plays out next spring when the album drops.

Here’s what Trump wrote:

Trump Attacks Seth Meyers, Calls Him “A Deranged Lunatic” and “Probably Illegal” After Saying He Tuned in for First Time in Years”

Trump Attacks Seth Meyers, Calls Him “A Deranged Lunatic” and “Probably Illegal” After Saying He Tuned in for First Time in Years”

Donald Trump says he watched Seth Meyer’s late night talk show last night “for the first time in years.”

Really?

Anyway, he says Seth is “a deranged lunatic” and so anti-Trump it’s “probably illegal.”

If Trump watched Meyers more often he might learn a lot about how he’s viewed by educated, erudite people who grasp the grave situation he’s created.

Last night, Trump threw a massively expensive over the top party at Mar-a-Lago while taking away SNAP benefits from needy people all over the country. He’s stopped food stamps for families and individuals who need them to pay for groceries but is spending $300 million on a gigantic White House building no one needs or asked for.

Seth Meyers is one of the sharpest political comedians out there. His “A Closer Look” segment deserves awards like crazy. He must have scared Trump to death.

“Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to “perform” live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? – NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

Taylor Swift Saturates Her Market, “Showgirl” Album Still Number 1 But Down Another 28% from Last Week, Only 22K Albums Sold

Taylor Swift Saturates Her Market, “Showgirl” Album Still Number 1 But Down Another 28% from Last Week, Only 22K Albums Sold

“The Life of a Showgirl” is coming at an end.

The Taylor Swift album lived fast and died young.

After selling 4 million copies including streaming in its first week, “Showgirl” has drained its numbers very quickly.

Although it’s still number 1 this week, “Showgirl” sold only 21,751 CDs, LPs, cassettes, and paid downloads.

The rest of the 143,275 came from streaming. But even that little adventure is lightening up now. Swift’s song have been temporarily replaced by Halloween records. “Monster Mash,” from the 1960s, is number 1 today. (“Thriller” is number 1 on iTunes.)

Swift’s marketing team won’t settle for this result but they’ve actually sold all the physical product to the people who wanted it.

As for iTunes: Swift probably doesn’t have a follow up single to “The Fate of Ophelia.” She kept her individual tracks off of iTunes for two weeks, then released only “Ophelia.” Now that they’re all available, they’re not doing business.

Don’t cry for Taylor Swift! It’s estimated her earnings so far from this album are around $135 million. She can throw herself a really nice wedding!

“South Park” Returns After Ratings Stumble with Pam Bondi Brown-Noser, Stephen Miller Ghoul, Vance Conspiring with Thiel to Take Over

Pam Bondi has shit on her nose throughout the new episode of “South Park.”

Stephen Miller is a ghoul working in the White House, which is being demolished to make room for Trump’s dance floor.

JD Vance — in the guise of Tatou from “Fantasy Island” — is conspiring with Peter Thiel to take over the presidency.

Melania is haunting Donald Trump in her famous black dress with the space saucer hat pulled over her eyes.

It’s the Halloween episode of “South Park,” and scarier than ever.

Stan and his family are meantime living in an old age home with Randy’s father. It’s not going well.

Satan is still pregnant with Trump’s devil child, who Trump is trying to kill, and overseeing the East Wing demolition.

This is the first new episode in over two weeks and a vast improvement over the previous installment, which was a little confusing.

What about the “South Park” kids? They break the fourth wall to complain about being usurped by politics. They launch a memecoin called “SouthParkSucksNow.”

Parker and Stone are back on track, giving us the rare send up of the lunacy going on in Washington. Their half hour is satire gold.

Famed Actor Donald Sutherland’s “Depraved” Posthumous Memoir Pulled by Family, Now Publisher Suing to Get Hefty Advance Back

Famed Actor Donald Sutherland’s “Depraved” Posthumous Memoir Pulled by Family, Now Publisher Suing to Get Hefty Advance Back

I told you a year ago about Donald Sutherland’s crazy unpublished memoir.

He wrote it and sold it to a publisher without anyone’s knowledge. No one in his family was aware of what he’d written.

When the family found out, they intervened to stop publication. They said they’d edit the book and turn in a new manuscript. Crown Books had already paid Sutherland $400,000 against a $1.25 million advance. So they wanted something they could sell.

But that’s never going to happen. They never did turn in a revised version.

Well, the book — called “Made Up, But Still True” — has been halted by the Oscar winner’s estate. So Crown sued them today for the $400,000 in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Insiders tell me the book details all of Sutherland’s love life, affairs, and sordid moments described as “Depraved.” Some of it might be true, some not, but you can’t blame the family for not wanting these episodes to represent the great actor’s legacy.

Sutherland made so many great movies, from “Ordinary People” to “MASH,” “Klute,” “Cold Mountain,” “Six Degrees of Separation,” plus top stuff in TV including “The Undoing” with Nicole Kidman. No one wants to remember him from lurid writings.

So the Estate will have to pony up. But if anyone has the original manuscript, that will be the Holy Grail if it ever turns up!

Just a thought. We don’t know what Sutherland’s mental condition was when he wrote and sold the book. The Estate could make a case that he was not in his right mind.

Kim Kardashian Believes Apollo Moon Landings Didn’t Happen: May Be Confusing Them with OJ Simpson Movie “Capricorn One”

Kim Kardashian Believes Apollo Moon Landings Didn’t Happen: May Be Confusing Them with OJ Simpson Movie “Capricorn One”

Kim Kardashian is a dingbat. We know that. It’s a given.

It turns out the avaricious spotlight stealer doesn’t believe the Apollo moon landings never happened, especially not the original one in 1969. She talked to former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who’s totally off his rocker, and now thinks he told her the whole thing was faked.

In the video below she also describes Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, as “the other one.”

What makes Kim’s utter stupidity even more interesting is that her father’s best friend, OJ Simpson, starred in a conspiracy movie about exactly this subject.

Kim’s father, Robert, was so close to OJ that helped covered up his two murders. Mother Kris — who’s now had a bizarre facelift — was best friends with Nicole Brown Simpson, who OJ viciously killed in 1994, along with Ronald Goldman.

Simpson starred in a movie called “Capricorn One” in 1977. The movie was about NASA faking the moon landing in 1969, that it was all filmed on a soundstage. James Brolin and Sam Waterston co-starred in the Peter Hyams movie, along with Elliot Gould, Brenda Vaccaro, and Hal Holbrook.

“Capricorn One” is a great conspiracy movie, and was perfect for the paranoid 1970s after Richard Nixon and co. tortured the public for years. (You can only imagine what movies will be like after Trump.)

It’s possible that Kim, who’s known for a sex video and marrying Nazi sympathizer Kanye West, is relating to the memory of a pre-murdering OJ being held hostage in a TV studio. The fact that she inferred this information from Buzz Aldrin is also hilarious. Anyone who knows him knows he’s nuts. Too much moon dust.

Kim making such a wacky admission is emblematic of what’s going on in the country right now. Like most of MAGA, she has the education of a flea. She might as well be a flat-Earther. These people want to be lied to. They don’t want to know anything that requires complicated reasoning. It’s better to accept something they heard fourth hand than actually investigate facts.

In this video, Sarah Paulson — who’s quite smart — is restraining herself from bursting out in a laugh. We can do it for her.

Beatles Movies Cast the Wives: Saoirse Ronan, Aimee Lou Wood, Anna Sawai, Mia McKenna-Bruce Join Sam Mendes’ Four Films

Sam Mendes has cast the wives of the Beatles for his films.

Saoirse Ronan, Aimee Lou Wood, Anna Sawai, and Mia McKenna-Bruce are joining the four Beatles movies.

They will play respectively Linda McCartney, Patti Boyd Harrison, Yoko Ono, and Maureen Starkey.

The ladies line up with Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.

Ronan, a former Oscar nominee and top star, is a big get for Mendes. Wood is coming off her hit run on “The White Lotus.”

The movies are still far off — coming in April 2028. These roles are pivotal, of course, because as the Fab Four matured through the 60s their mates played big roles in what happened to the group.

Still to be announced: actors playing Jane Asher, Cynthia Lennon, Brian Epstein, Allen Klein, Lee Eastman, Ed Sullivan, and so on. Plenty to come, and very exciting!

Meantime, a Beatles Anthology 4 book is just out. The whole Anthology audio and video comes November 21st, and is already on the amazon top 40 thanks to advanced orders.

Reggae Star Shaggy Lands in Hurricane Ravaged Jamaica with Planeload of Supplies, Help for Locals: It WAS Him!

Reggae Star Shaggy Lands in Hurricane Ravaged Jamaica with Planeload of Supplies, Help for Locals: It WAS Him!

Reggae star Shaggy’s famous song is “It Wasn’t Me.”

But it IS him– aka Orville Burrell — who landed today in Jamaica with a private plane full of supplies for locals.

Shaggy enlisted his friend Dan Newlin, famed injury attorney from Orlando, to organize the plane and fly down to help victims of Hurricane Melissa. Shaggy’s Instagram pages are full of information for local Jamaicans so they benefit from this largesse.

It’s no surprise that Shaggy is so philanthropic. He spends a lot of time with Sting, founder with wife Trudie Styler of the Rainforest Foundation and supporter of many good works around the world.

Superstar Gayle King Out at CBS Mornings As Parent Company Paramount Skydance Accused of Laying off Blacks and Women

Superstar Gayle King Out at CBS Mornings As Parent Company Paramount Skydance Accused of Laying off Blacks and Women

Gayle King is out at “CBS Mornings.”

Inarguably the highest profile African American journalist in the US, King has been told by Paramount Skydance that her contract with the CBS News show won’t be extended after it ends in May.

The news was reported by Variety.

King’s ouster comes on the heels of massive layoff at Paramount and CBS yesterday that removed a large number of Black and female employees. At CBS, the Race and Culture tea was terminated, for example.

Among those cut at Paramount Pictures were Bryan Oh, who is Asian; Andres Alvarez (EVP of Home Entertainment), Christine Benitez (SVP Multicultural Marketing); and Rachel Cadden.

King’s departure from CBS News is another indication that David Ellison, CBS’s new owner and a conservative with ties to Donald Trump, is about to gut the Tiffany network and model it anew after Fox News.

Said to be on the chopping block: Maurice DuBois at CBS Evening News, and Bill Whittaker at 60 Minutes. DuBois’s anchor partner, John Dickerson, has already been ousted this week.

King pulled the long moribund CBS Morning News into a hot commodity, bringing huge amounts of goodwill and publicity to the network. Her scoops were many and varied, and through her CBS had access to her popular and respected friend, Oprah Winfrey, who did freelance work for 60 Minutes and CBS Mornings.

Also out are the co-anchors of “CBS Saturday Mornings,” Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson, and Joelle Martinez, its Los Angeles bureau chief. They’re also shutting down their Johannesburg, South Africa office and firing senior foreign correspondent Deborah Patta.

King could write her own ticket in syndication with a much welcomed daily talk show. She has many options available to her.

King’s unceremonious exit also follows the news that CBS hasn’t renewed popular late night host Stephen Colbert, who is a constant critic of Trump.

Will Ellison — whose father is in business ventures with Trump — destroy the fabled network? Will he restructure Paramount Pictures into something unrecognizable? Stay tuned…
