Sharon Osbourne isn’t welcome in America anymore. Here’s what she has to say about it. Sharon Osbourne Reveals Her US Opportunities Are Dried Up Following Her Exit From The Talk
Sharon Osbourne may have been voted out of “Celebrity Big Brother” as fast as Princess Kate’s uncle had been, but not before she shared tidbits about what her career is like overseas, which strictly speaking, was where she thrived at in recent years.
Sharon Osbourne Feels She Is Banned From The USA
“I got banned in America,” she said during a conversation with fellow housemates Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh. “I can legally, but nobody will employ me because they say I’m racist.”
Her mates from the house supported her and insisted there was no way she was racist, especially since she was from a minority group herself.

William Shatner took a moment on Real Time Friday to reflect on living boldly throughout his acting career.
The Star Trek star, who has hundreds of credits to his name, was asked by host Bill Maher if his outgoing personality was shaped by his character Captain James T. Kirk or if the show thought he was already a “boldly going guy” when he auditioned for the legendary role.
“As an actor, taking a job … maybe it’ll be successful, I’ll do the best I can,” Shatner explained. “And then invariably the numbers are mostly fails and then every so often something is successful.”
He continued, “The fact that Star Trek became a showbiz phenomenon that lasted, what, 60 years? And there’s all these other shows and all these other actors. Who knew? Nobody knew.”
In 1966, Capt. Kirk was Shatner’s breakout role in Hollywood, although the series was canceled after just three seasons.

When Donald Trump left his seat in the boardroom as the star of his long-running NBC reality series “The Apprentice” in 2015, in order to run for president of the United States, he had a clear successor in mind.
“I said, ‘The best person to hire would be Ivanka Trump,’” Donald Trump says. “I didn’t press it. But I felt Ivanka would have been by far the best person you could hire.”
Trump shares this revelation in a new book about his years as a reality star, “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” written by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh. The book peels back the curtain on how Trump’s decade playing an all-knowing mogul on TV shaped his image as a politician, ultimately catapulting him to the White House.

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.

They just can’t let it go, now can they? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again being called out for trying to be very private people, but at the same time, acting in a very public matter.
This time around it has to do with Kate Middleton and her cancer diagnosis. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Slammed For Using The Press To Reach Kate Middleton
A new report by People magazine suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle privately reached out to Kate Middleton and Prince William and her cancer announcement.
But British television personality Piers Morgan was quick to point out that if it was done privately, then how would a major publication like People know about it so quickly?
Clearly, someone is leaking information to the press to make themselves look good – and Piers probably already knows who it is.

Amidst all the things that are happening across the globe at the moment, the latest hard-hitting news that has emerged is the news about how Princess Kate is suffering from an early stage of cancer. But before this, the internet was met with Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel, all trying their own methods of relaying this information.

Hollywood has a problem. A problem with names. If you are not American, or English (and even that is a problem sometimes), then chances are people have been butchering your name since forever. Irish, Afrikans, Indian, Eastern European, or really, anywhere that is not American, it won’t be a surprise for people to learn that even after decades, some celebrities have been called by names that is not really theirs.

A trio of royal commentators are united in their beliefs that Kate Middleton appears to be “taking the fall” for a “cataclysmic error” within the royal family. Their commentary is in regards to a photo the House of Windsor released of Kate with her three children two months after her surgery. The Associated Press, Afp, and Reuters subsequently issued kill notifications for the image because it was edited.
However, is the palace using the Princess of Wales to take the heat regarding the error in judgment? Kate quickly issued an apology, but was the scandal her fault?

NewsCorp will stop broadcasting its Talk TV television channel in the United Kingdom and transition the network to an online-only operation, the company affirmed on Tuesday.
The move was announced about a month after the network’s biggest prime-time host Piers Morgan quit Talk TV in favor of producing his own YouTube videos.
Scott Taunton, the president of Talk TV, said the move was necessitated by shifting consumer trends in the United Kingdom, which have seen more TV viewers move away from broadcast and cable channels in favor of streaming services.
“Two years ago, we would not have been brave enough to launch a channel without a linear presence, but audiences of all ages have moved fast and smartphones are now the primary device where news is consumed,” Taunton said...

We are therefore intending that Talk comes off linear television from early summer and our focus will be on streaming.”
Linear TV has been “a good marketing and awareness window” for TalkTV but investment needs to be focused “where the eyeballs are,” added Taunton.

Often hailed as one of the most innovative filmmakers of all time, Werner Herzog, known for Grizzly Man and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, recently shared his viewpoint on Margot Robbie’s Barbie. Last summer, Barbenheimer broke the internet, as both Oppenheimer and Barbie went on to become commercial and critical successes, with the latter becoming the biggest film of the year.
However, the acclaimed filmmaker revealed that he had yet to watch Oppenheimer, but he did watch the opening 30 minutes of Barbie, and Herzog didn’t seem too keen about his experience.

Filmmaker Werner Herzog was on Piers Morgan Uncensored recently, for some reason, to discuss his life and career, but also because it’s Morgan, “woke culture” in Hollywood, Putin, Israel, Hamas, and because it’s hard-hitting journalism, hypnotizing chickens.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is, perhaps, one of the most misunderstood films of all time. A vast majority of the audience adored its message, while simultaneously reveling in the breathless beauty of Barbie Land.
Unfortunately, some did not understand what the film was trying to put forth or did not like the ‘feminist’ undertones that it had. Regardless of why they dislike the film, it has prompted them to criticize the entire movie, being angry at every little detail of it.

The most recent high-profile celebrity to voice their disdain about the Margot Robbie film was the German Auteur Werner Herzog.

A pioneer of movies and documentaries, Herzog’s weird reputation and often unusual tales precede his reputation but he is nonetheless an individual who has contributed massively to cinema, with many accolades to his name.

Few directors are as admired and esteemed in the entertainment industry as Werner Herzog and Martin Scorsese. These two titans of the industry have become household names thanks to their distinct styles and uncompromising visions. However, it appears that Herzog is not afraid to challenge even his fellow cinematic legends on the subject of comic book movies.
In a recent interview, Herzog—the pioneer of New German Cinema—made waves by saying that he completely agrees with Scorsese’s dismay at the dominance of superhero flicks. However, the director-author, 81, also maintained that these movies aren’t simply entertainment. They are a reflection of our society and culture, and should not be so easily dismissed by those who believe themselves to be above such populist fare.

Werner Herzog may have not gotten through all of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, but the legendary filmmaker didn’t seem too keen on the part he did watch.
During a recent appearance on the show Piers Morgan: Uncensored, the host asked Herzog if he was Team Barbie or Team Oppenheimer — the two films that led the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon last summer.
“I have not seen Oppenheimer yet, but I will do it,” the director admitted. “Barbie, I managed to see the first half hour, and I was curious. I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of Barbie is sheer hell?”
He added, “For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”

When asked by Piers Morgan if he was more of an Oppenheimer fan or a Barbie fan, Werner Herzog said he had only watched the first thirty minutes of Barbie, but had a rather unique assessment. “I have not seen Oppenheimer yet, but with Barbie, I managed to see the first half hour.

Legendary director Werner Herzog was asked by Piers Morgan on the latter’s “Uncensored” talk show to weigh in on the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon, but Herzog was no expert on the matter. The “Grizzly Man” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” filmmaker never got around to seeing Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic, and he seemed to be chilled to the bone after watching only 30 minutes of Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel comedy.
“I have not seen ‘Oppenheimer’ yet, but I will do it. ‘Barbie,’ I managed to see the first half-hour,” Herzog said. “I was curious and I wanted to watch it because I was curious.

Werner Herzog didn’t make it through all of “Barbie,” though it doesn’t sound like he loved the bits he did see.
On the “Piers Morgan: Uncensored” TV show, Morgan asked the legendary filmmaker if he’s on Team Barbie or Team Oppenheimer. The answer was neither, though each was out for very different reasons.
“I have not seen ‘Oppenheimer’ yet, but I will do it,” Herzog said. “‘Barbie,’ I managed to see the first half hour, and I was curious. I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of ‘Barbie’ is sheer hell?”
Herzog continued, “For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”
Boy did that delight Morgan, who was a kid in a candy store over the apparent diss.

The Rutz is like any great pub in Belfast, or anywhere in Ireland for that matter: kind of dingy, people stumbling out of the bathrooms, wiping powder off their faces, traditional Irish music playing loud on the speakers.
“It’s one of those places where you never go for one pint — you’re always stuck there for longer,” says Móglaí Bap, one-third of the Belfast rap trio Kneecap.
“The pubs here are like lobster pots,” adds Mo Chara. “You can get in them, but you can’t get out.”

Both Bassem Youssef and James Gunn have clarified their stances on the recent fiasco surrounding Youssef’s alleged firing from Superman: Legacy. At the end of the controversy, it is clear that Youssef won’t be appearing as dictator Rumaan Harjavti in Gunn’s upcoming film. But fans have suggested a role for him in The Brave and the Bold and it has gained significant traction among fans. Fans believe that Bassem Youssef is tailor-made for Batman villain Ra’s al Ghul.

Well, it seems that the Dcu is indeed playing some kind of game that the people do not like at all. With Superman and Lois being two integral characters of cinematic storytelling, it comes naturally that the two characters will indeed be seen in James Gunn’s upcoming film Superman: Legacy.
But to cancel a pre-existing CW series by the name of Superman and Lois so that there’s no confusion for the people… is quite a dumb move. Well, that’s exactly what Warner Bros. did before the release of Superman: Legacy!

This week, social media was abuzz with the claims made by comedian, TV host, and surgeon Bassem Youssef that his vocal support for Palestine was the reason he was fired from James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy. The comedian, who was in talks for the DC Studios movie, revealed to Salon that he was notified that his role was canceled following changes to the script.
Youssef also claimed he was informed of the script changes after his October interview with Piers Morgan went viral. Gunn, however, has now stated that Youssef’s taped scene was cut from the original script and had nothing to do with the comedian’s pro-Palestinian comments.

There’s some confusion flying circles around James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, with Egyptian-born entertainer Bassem Youseff saying he was fired from the project after showing support for Palestine during a Piers Morgan interview. According to Youseff, DC Studios offered him a role as a villain in the upcoming superhero spectacle. The official reason given for Youseff getting pulled from the cast list is a script change, but “the Jon Stewart of the Middle East” says the missed opportunity aligns with him showing support for Palestine in an interview.
However, a source close to the production says Youseff’s timeline of events needs to be corrected. The source says the decision to pass on Youseff’s involvement happened before the Piers Morgan interview.
“You’ve been very outspoken on behalf of Palestinian humanity and you lost a role in the new Superman movie and some other projects,” Dean Obeidallah of...

The Egyptian-born comedian told Salon this week that he had been in talks for a role but was later told that the part was no longer in the DC Studios movie following script changes. Youssef said he learned of the script changes after his October interview with Piers Morgan went viral in which the comic made comments critical of Israel amid its ongoing war with Hamas.

Updated with James Gunn comment: Egyptian-born comedian Bassem Youssef claims he lost a role in James Gunn’s Superman Legacy movie due to his public support of Palestine during a Piers Morgan: Uncensored October interview, however, a source close to production tells Deadline, that’s not the case: Youssef was never formerly offered the role.
We hear that Youssef taped an audition pre-actors strike for the role of Rumaan Harjadi. However, by the time Gunn turned in his final shooting strike post writers’ strike ending in late September, that role was cut. This was all before the tragic events of Oct. 7, 2023. Hence per the Superman Legacy production source — no official ask was made to Youssef. Given that the actors strike was still ongoing in late September, and didn’t end until early November, no communication about Youssef obtaining or not obtaining the role would have been communicated to him.

Bassem Youssef caused a stir on social media this week when he claimed he lost a role in James Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy” due to his vocal support of Palestine.
Youssef went viral last year following his October appearance on “Piers Morgan: Uncensored,” during which he used his signature dark humor as he criticized Israel. “They said Israel is the only military force in the world that warns civilians before bombing them,” he said. “How fucking cute! That is so nice of them because with this logic, if Russian troops started warning Ukrainians before bombing their houses, we’re cool with Putin, right?”
In a new interview with Salon this week, Youssef addressed his comments and asserted his belief that his role in ‘Superman: Legacy’ was written out because of the Morgan interview. “I was a little bit bitter about losing the role, and I was kind of very sad,...

The bad blood between Prince Harry and Piers Morgan shows no sign of evaporating, with the broadcaster responding sharply to news of Harry’s courtroom victory over Morgan’s former employer this week.
Following Harry’s win against Mirror Group Newspapers in London’s High Court on Friday, when he received £400,000 compensation in settlement of his claim against the publisher for damages incurred with having his phone hacked during the early 2000s, Morgan said to reporters outside his house:
“Invading the privacy of the Royal Family is utterly reprehensible and on that I share Prince Harry’s opinion…I just wish he’d stop doing it.”
On the same day, Morgan wrote in the New York Post that, during Harry’s whistlestop visit to London this week to see his father King Charles following the latter’s cancer diagnosis, he understood why Harry had not been seen by his brother:...

Prince Harry and the U.K. publisher of the Mirror tabloid have settled all remaining parts of a phone-hacking court case, with the British royal set to receive “substantial” additional damages.
The Duke of Sussex will get an initial down payment of 400,000 sterling ($504,000) after the Mirror Group Newspapers — now called Reach Plc — agreed to pay him “substantial” damages, the prince’s lawyer told the BBC on Friday.
In Dec. 2023, Prince Harry was awarded £140,600 ($178,255) by Justice Fancourt in the British High Court, who added there was “extensive” phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers from 2006 to 2011. On Friday, the remaining parts of Prince Harry’s case against Mgn were settled in a U.K. courtroom to bring the legal proceedings to a close.
In response, an Mgn spokesperson, in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, said: “We welcomed December’s judgment that gave the business the necessary clarity to move forward...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties back in March 2020 after announcing in January of that year that they were looking for a different path. The two have since been raising their two children in California, but Harry has started to have more conversations with King Charles and appears to be somewhat working things out with his father.
Still, Piers Morgan, British commentator and one of the Sussexes’ biggest critics, claims that Harry is a “traitor” and that there is no way for him to re-enter the royal family — especially if he has to do it through Prince William.

Prince Harry has agreed to a £400,000 (about $505,000) settlement with a British tabloid publisher found guilty last year of improper snooping into his personal life, the BBC reports.
The sum covers legal costs, as well as the initial £140,600 in damages Harry was awarded when the ruling against Mirror Group Newspapers was handed down last December. In the ruling, a judge found that Mirror Group’s papers — including The Mirror, The Sunday Mirror, and The Sunday People — had engaged in “unlawful information gathering” tactics, like hacking Harry’s phone or intercepting his voicemails.

Piers Morgan has announced his “Uncensored” show is moving from TalkTV to YouTube, citing the “unnecessary straitjacket” of TV schedules.
In an interview with The Times, Morgan said he will now focus on growing the “Uncensored” YouTube channel, which has over 2.3 million subscribers. “Uncensored” has aired in the 8 p.m. slot on TalkTV for the past two years.
“It’s clear there’s a huge global demand for the content we’re making, but the commitment to a daily show at a fixed schedule, with all the editing and time sensitivities that involves, has been an increasingly unnecessary straitjacket,” Morgan told The Times.
He cited controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, who posts his full interviews to YouTube, as an inspiration for making the move.
