Incendiary “South Park” Is Back Tomorrow Night, with More on Trump-Satan Romance, ICE Raids, and Abortion (Teaser)

“South Park” is back tomorrow night with a new, incendiary episode.

After the first episode of this new season 27, almost 7 million people were counted as viewers.

Donald Trump himself has remained silent after episode 1 showed off his teeny penis, portrayed him as a fat slob expiring in desert, and having a fling with Satan.

Trump and Satan are now a couple in the new teaser, and ICE raids are on the menu in the episode called “Got a Nut,” in which Mr. Mackay loses his job and desperately tries to find a new way to make a living.

The teaser is just the tip of the iceberg for the Comedy Central-Paramount Plus. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are pushing the envelope with their new $1.5 billion contract.

Viva “South Park”!

Marge Simpson aka the Great Julie Kavner Narrates James L. Brooks’s First Feature Film in 15 Years

Marge Simpson aka the Great Julie Kavner Narrates James L. Brooks’s First Feature Film in 15 Years

James L. Brooks is back.

No one has a resume like Brooks, creator of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Taxi,” director of “Broadcast News,” “Terms of Endearment,” “As Good As it Gets,” “Spanglish.”

Brooks also created The “Tracey Ullman Show,” from which “The Simpsons” sprang.

Now he’s got “Ella McCay,” featuring an all-star cast including the similarly named Emma Mackey, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Spike Fearn, Rebecca Hall, Becky Ann Baker, Joey Brooks with Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson.

The great Julie Kavner appears on screen and is the film’s narrator. She has been the voice of Marge Simpson for 36 years, but the comedy legend is beloved from the “Mary Tyler Moore” spin off, “Rhoda,” as the main character’s sister, Brenda.

Kavner was part of Woody Allen’s repertory company for a while, appearing in “Radio Days,” “Hannah and Her Sisters,” “Alice,” “Shadows and Fog,” “New York Stories,” “Deconstructing Harry,” and the TV production of “Don’t Drink the Water.”

She also starred in Nora Ephron’s lost gem, “This is My Life,” a kind of early “Mrs. Maisel” story written by Meg Wolitzer, and worth a look on streaming.

It’s so good to see Kavner back on screen, and Brooks — who’s 85! — back in the director’s chair. Maybe everything will be okay, after all.

Law & Disorder: “SVU” and “Organized Crime” are Now a Metaverse That Will Reunite Benson and Stabler Again

Law & Disorder: “SVU” and “Organized Crime” are Now a Metaverse That Will Reunite Benson and Stabler Again

Hold on, because there are a lot of changes coming to “SVU” and “Organized Crime” in September.

Call it “Law & Disorder.”

First: “Organized Crime,” the Chris Meloni drama that never found its footing on NBC, was sent to Peacock last spring.

Now, NBC is going to show all those episodes on NBC not in the summer but right after “SVU” at 10pm as if they were new. So if you don’t have Peacock, or thought “OC” was cancelled, it’s back.

As they used to say on NBC, if you never saw it, it’s new to you!

With the return of “OC” (because a promised show never materialized), Chris Meloni is coming back to “SVU” as Elliot Stabler in the continuing platonic romance with Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson. These people are 60 years old and for 30 years have never consummated their relationship. Not even a real kiss. They will be doing this an old age home one day!

Two actors from “SVU’s” almost 30 year old history are coming back, too. Dean Winters — who’s made a fortune doing insurance commercials — and BD Wong, who was once a Broadway star, are returning to their old roles.

Also, Kelli Giddish — who was knocked to recurring status after 12 seasons — is coming back as a regular as Rollins. Octavio Pisano, whose character was sent off to greener pastures at the end of last season, is back nevertheless in the season premiere.

Where have these characters been? Frozen in time, apparently. Benson will thaw them out. Listen, the reruns are so ubiquitous that time has no meaning on “SVU.” It’s all become a metaverse!

It also looks like maybe Dann Florek will make a cameo as Captain Cragen.

So NBC has returned producer Dick Wolf to his Thursday kingdom. He’ll kic off the season with a three way “Law & Order” crossover on September 25th.

What will happen to “Organized Crime” after last spring’s episodes run out? Hard to say. Meloni just signed to star in an HBO series, so it may be a while before “Organized Crime” returns again. Or if ever. Or maybe this is Wolf’s way of just reintegrating him onto “SVU.”

Rupert Murdoch Expanding NY Post to West Coast with Print, Online Edition Full of Right Wing News

Rupert Murdoch Expanding NY Post to West Coast with Print, Online Edition Full of Right Wing News

Rupert Murdoch is still out there, kicking.

He’s expanding the NY Post to the west coast with something called The California Post.

There will be print and online editions pushing the NY Post’s right wing politics, hysterical rants, and often fictionalized stories.

Stories we only find in the NY Post on the east coast will now be scattered like cancer in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

This includes all the nutty stuff from the columnists who without facts rail against Democrats, including Biden, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and so on.

The Post also promotes Donald Trump like NFL cheerleaders, promoting his brand of lunacy on a daily basis.

Will California respond to this craziness? With the Los Angeles Times in so much turmoil, and local papers disappearing, this is probably a savvy move.

You have to wonder what Trump has to do with this behind the scenes, by the way. He’s desperate to destroy Gavin Newsom, and Murdoch is no doubt happy to join him.

Read the Post’s announcement here.

Donald Trump Calls Sydney Sweeney Commercial for Good Jeans “HOTTEST” After Learning She’s a Republican

Since Donald Trump spells blonde bombshell Sudney Sweeney’s name “Sidney”in a new tweet, he probably thought she was a man up til this weekend.

Then her controversial ad campaign for Good Jeans was pointed out to him, and the fact that she’s a Republican.

Now, misspelling her first name, he says her commercials is all caps the HOTTEST. He’s nothing if not consistent.

Justin Bieber, Who Wrestles with Mental Illness and Depression, Posts Pictures Shooting M9 Assault Rifle Banned in Canada

Justin Bieber, heavily tattooed and almost always shirtless, is the epitome of the white trash pop star.

Now the 31 year old father of a toddler is revealing himself even more with shocking pictures and videos. For the first time, we see — thanks to his own social media posts –Bieber shooting an M9 Assault Rifle, banned in Canada.

For years, Bieber has pleaded mental health issues, so owning and/or shooting an assault rifle might be considered a problem. In the pictures he’s also shooting a Beretta M9 pistol.

This is your American Idol (see first picture below). He’s arbitrarily cancelled tours, backed himself into financial peril, spat on unwitting pedestrians. He made a scene in Amsterdam years ago when he wrote in the guest book at the Anne Frank house that he was sure the famed victim of the Holocaust “would have been a Belieber.”

He also frequently posts about his devotion to Jesus.

Bieber’s new album, “Swag,” is dead in the water with fewer than 300,000 copies sold.

How does wife Hailey Baldwin feel about all this? Bieber posted a selfie with the comment” “Broke another olive branch.”

PS Many commenters on Instagram have pointed out that Bieber commands his machine gun in pastel colored slippers, which may be the most egregious part of this story.

Trump Rants About Top Radio Personality Charlamagne the God as “Low IQ Individual” Who Doesn’t Know Trump “Ended Five Wars”

Trump Rants About Top Radio Personality Charlamagne the God as “Low IQ Individual” Who Doesn’t Know Trump “Ended Five Wars”

Donald Trump’s new lie to his illiterate base is that he “ended five wars.”

None of this is true, and he’s caused more war and violence than anyone in the world recently.

No matter. Trump posted an insane rant today against radio personality Charlamagne the God. He tried to promote daughter -in-law Lara Trump, but if you read the post, the first sentence doesn’t end anywhere. Where did Lara put the “racist sleazebag”? In her shed? Now we don’t know where Charl the God is!

Trump’s jobs numbers are absymal. the stock market is tanking, gas and grocery prices are going up, there are wars in Gaza and Ukraine that he swore he’d end on his first day in office — which was six months ago.

But this post is important to him. Also, spending $200 million of anyone’s money on an ugly, unneeded and maybe illegal addition to the White House. Imagine if he told those donors, ‘let’s spend $200 million on an aid drop to Gaza.’ LOL.

But this is all a distraction from Epstein’s files, which Trump is in, and his co-opting convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who he will likely pardon, along with Sean Diddy Combs.

Box Office: “Fantastic Four” Crossing $200 Mil Today After Rain Drenched Friday Slowed it Down

Box Office: “Fantastic Four” Crossing $200 Mil Today After Rain Drenched Friday Slowed it Down

“The Fantastic Four” would have made $200 million last night had it not been for the weather.

Rain was drenching and winds were wild Friday. Here in New York we had water gushing in torrents down the steps of subway stations. It was not a night to go to the movies.

Still, “FF4” is hitting $200 million today. As a new, standalone movie it’s been a big hit. It’s also one of the best reviewed movies of its kind, from both critics and audiences.

Along with “Superman,” “Sinners,” “F1,” “Jurassic World,” and so on, summer 2025 has been pretty, pretty good.

This weekend, “Naked Gun” jumped into the mix with $17 million. Again, not bad for a comedy, a reinvention of a film that first appeared in 1988. Man’s laughter turned out to be infectious. (See the movie for the reference.)

Plus, “Bad Guys 2” joined the list of animated feature hits this summer with $22 million.

After this big run of studio blockbusters, the box office will go into a slide through Labor Day. It’s inevitable. But all of those top hits will keep drawing audiences.

Onward and upward! Just think: on the 15th, we’ll get new film called “Americana” starring Sydney Sweeney, now the center of massive negative attention. She’s a registered Republican in ad many are calling racist. Her red carpet should be so much fun!

Box Office: “Naked Gun” Opens to $6.3 Mil, “Fantastic Four” Still Number 1, “Bad Guys 2” Brings $9.1 Mil

Box Office: “Naked Gun” Opens to $6.3 Mil, “Fantastic Four” Still Number 1, “Bad Guys 2” Brings $9.1 Mil

Surely, you jest.

“Don’t call me Shirley.”

Alas, in the new “Naked Gun,” there is no riff on the famous line from the Zucker-Abrams-Zucker playbook.

Still, the new “Naked Gun” brought in $6.3 million including Thursday previews and Friday shows.

That’s not bad considering the last minute onslaught of publicity that included a faux celebrity romance between stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, and then speculation about Neeson’s private areas from insane former model Janice Dickinson.

“Naked Gun” will probably not clear $20 million for the weekend, but the budget is low and hopes are high to get close to that number.

The other new movie is “Bad Guys 2.” It’s animated, with actors like Sam Rockwell, Anthony Ramos, Zazie Beetz, etc. “Bad Guys 2” is another hit from Universal, kicking off the weekend with $9.1 million.

That leaves “Fantastic Four,” heading toward $200 million, and “Superman” going for $300 million.

“Eddington” and a couple of other A24 movies aren’t doing much business. But the mini studio is about to launch Spike Lee’s highly anticipated “Highest and Lowest,” which should be a big launch.

Kamala’s Book Is Number 1 on Amazon After Colbert Show: 2 Months Before Pub Date and Not Yet Discounted

Kamala’s Book Is Number 1 on Amazon After Colbert Show: 2 Months Before Pub Date and Not Yet Discounted

Just in case you were wondering:

former VP Kamala Harris’s book is a runaway best seller.

Even though today is August 2nd and the book isn’t published until September 26th.

“10 Days” is number 1 on amazon. At its publisher price of 30 bucks, not discounted.

This comes from Harris’s appearance on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on Thursday night.

The book was a surprise, as was the booking.

Harris handled herself with grace and aplomb. Colbert was the perfect interviewer.

I’m laughing because the NY Post has tried to make it seem like the whole thing was a failure.

The interview was a total success, however, and the book is the number 1 bestseller.

Harris is going to tell story of how she learned Joe Biden was not going to run, how she was his replacement, and how the shortest presidential campaign in history — one without primaries — was hastily assembled. She’s already made it clear she’s not throwing Biden under the bus. She has too much respect for him and for herself.

Who gets the last laugh now.

PS Do I think she could win now? No. It’s not for lack of qualifications. America will never elect a woman, and especially a Black one. These are sad facts. To bring in Republicans, the Democrats need strong white guys.

Here are clips from the show from my first story.
