Jimmy Kimmel Wonders When Kanye West Will ‘Just Change His Name to Ye-dolph’ | Video

Even by his standards Kanye West has had quite an unhinged few days bookended by varying types of pro-Nazi posturing. It’s so bad that on Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel wondered when the rapper will “just change his name to Ye-dolph and be done with it.” Before getting into Kimmel’s monologue, some quick backstory first. On Friday, West erupted into a multi-post rant on X (formerly Twitter), declaring “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi,” among other things. Then on Sunday, he paid to run an ad for his clothing website Yeezy in several local markets during the Super Bowl —…

Pro-Palestinian Protester Rushes Field, Gets Tackled by Super Bowl Security During Kendrick Lamar Show | Video

A pro-Palestinian protester rushed the field during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday night before being tackled by stadium security. The person in question was dressed in the same clothing as the onstage dancers and appeared to have been cast as part of the performance before breaking away and raising a dual Palestinian and Sudanese flag over their head. The flag read “Sudan” and “Gaza” in correlation with their respective red, green and white flags. After jumping offstage, the demonstrator made their way through the dancers on the field for several seconds before being overtaken by three security officers…

Pentagon Adds CNN, WaPo to Outlets Kicked Out to Make Way for Pro-Trump Media

The Washington Post and CNN have spent the last few months making very public, very ostentatious displays of fealty to Donald Trump, but nevertheless they’ve been added to the ranks of unfriendly media that are being kicked out of the Pentagon to make way for mostly right wing, pro-Trump outlets. CNN and Oliver Darcy reported that on Friday, the Pentagon informed WaPo, CNN, The Hill and The War Zone that they will lose office space at the facility this year as part of the so-called “media rotation program” announced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth a week ago. Other outlets…

‘Heart Eyes’ Review: Josh Ruben’s Rom-Com Slasher Is the Best Emoji Movie Ever

Well, shut my mouth. Just a few hours — I repeat, hours — after writing that Hollywood never releases a classic romantic movie on Valentine’s Day, I see a film that proves me wrong. It just happens to also be an ultraviolent slasher. Touché, Hollywood. You win this round. Then again with a film as good as Josh Ruben’s “Heart Eyes,” everyone’s a winner. Ruben is the director of the brilliant 2021 horror comedy Werewolves Within, hands down the best movie ever adapted from a video game. It comes as no surprise that his follow-up would do the same thing…

Jimmy Kimmel Compares Trump to ‘The Maniac From Saw’ After Gaza Comments | Video

Jimmy Kimmel was understandably rattled by Donald Trump’s shocking — and for now anyway, walked back — assertion that Palestinians should be forcibly removed from Gaza and the U.S. should illegally annex the land. “We have a very, very, we have a very crazy person running our country right now,” Kimmel declared during his monologue on Wednesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” “Like, like standing in the intersection loudly talking to himself crazy. Yesterday, Trump held a doozy of a press conference with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he surprised everyone, including the people who work for him,…

Jimmy Kimmel Says Republicans Sang ‘For He’s a Jolly Rubella’ After Advancing RFK Jr. Nomination | Video

Jimmy Kimmel isn’t a fan of prominent anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a man who frequently denies his anti-vaccines views despite clear documentation going back decades — And on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” he had some harsh words for Republicans who voted to advance Kennedy’s nomination to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. “It was stupor Tuesday in Washington today,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “Senators voted along party lines to advance the nominations of Trump’s pick for National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard, a woman who appears to have been styled by Cruella DeVille. And RFK Jr., who…

‘Late Night’ Audience Boos Rain Down as Stephen Colbert Lists Trump’s Barrage of Executive Orders | Video

Stephen Colbert’s live “Late Night” audience – not a fan of Donald Trump’s tireless weekend of executive orders, it turns out. “It’s hard to know where to start,” Colbert began in his Monday dialogue. “Each and every one of Trump’s disastrous moves deserves top billing.” Colbert got into the list, with each reference bringing down a torrent of boos from the New York City studio audience. “Over the weekend, Trump and his people gave Elon Musk access to the Treasury’s payment system [mild boos], prepared to shut down U.S. aid [boooos], threatened to take back the Panama Canal [boo], fired…
