Bill Maher Skewers Hasan Minhaj for Lying ... Truth is Not Relative
Bill Maher did not hold back Friday night, calling comedian Hasan Minhaj a shady liar.
The 'Real Time' host ended his show worrying that the concept of truth has become relative, and Exhibit A is Donald Trump, making wild claims and then simply declaring them to be true.
He then broadens out and says both sides -- the left and right -- are guilty as charged. As Maher puts it, the right pushes conspiracy theories and the left embraces "emotional truth."
BM then takes aim at Minhaj, and there's more beef here than in any happy meal. Minhaj accused Maher of saying Muslims should be rounded up and incarcerated -- something Bill has never said.
Maher then references a New Yorker story, which calls Minhaj out for making up stories for his act. Specifically, Minhaj says he asked a girl to the prom and at the last minute her parents said she couldn't go because he was a person of color. False, says the New Yorker.
And then there's the story of the FBI hunting Minhaj down and throwing him against a car because they thought he was a terrorist. Again, false, says the mag.
Minhaj told the New Yorker, emotional truth is first -- factual truth is secondary. Not so, says Maher ... not at all.

Insane Tornado Video Storm Chasers Trapped In Storm Pray to Jesus for Help
Tornados are something to AVOID at all costs ... as proven by this intense clip of storm chasers screaming for their lives while stuck in the middle of a terrifying storm.
The destructive winds touched Lewistown, Illinois back in April, but storm chaser and YouTuber Tanner Charles shared the shocking footage this week.
Tanner and his friends had no choice but to park right in the middle of the tornado's path after powerline poles came down, blocking the road in front of and behind them.
It's pretty horrifying, with the group panicking as the EF-3 tornado got closer to their car -- begging God to keep them stay alive as the windows in their ride got smashed, with loads of debris ripping over them.
Keep in mind, this tornado reached top speeds of 160 mph, so they definitely were feeling the power while right in its crosshairs. The gang somehow survived the brutal storm, and rightfully were extremely grateful to be alive while looking at the aftermath.
4 people were reported injured as a result of the tornado, which traveled nearly 19 miles ... but by some miracle, there were no deaths.

Demencial video Cazadores de tormenta quedan atrapados en un tornado Rezan por su vida...
Los tornados son algo que hay que EVITAR a toda costa, como bien lo demuestra este intenso video de dos cazadores de tormentas que terminan gritando por sus vidas mientras están atrapados en medio de una aterradora tormenta.
Los vientos azotaron Lewistown, Illinois, en abril, pero el aficionado a estos eventos y YouTuber, Tanner Charles, compartió las impactantes imágenes recién esta semana.
Tanner y sus amigos no tuvieron más remedio que aparcar justo en medio de la trayectoria del tornado. Esto, después de que se cayeran los postes del tendido eléctrico, bloqueando la carretera delante y detrás de ellos.
Es bastante horrible de ver cómo el grupo entra en pánico a medida que el tornado EF-3 se acerca a su coche. En el inter tanto, ellos ruegan a Dios para que los mantenga a salvo, mientras las ventanas de su carro quedan empañadas con un montón de escombros.
Hay que tener en cuenta que este tornado alcanzó velocidades máximas de 160 mph, por lo que definitivamente estaban sintiendo el poder de la naturaleza cuando estaban en medio de todo. La pandilla de alguna manera sobrevivió a la brutal tormenta y por supuesto estaba muy agradecida de estar viva al ver las secuelas.
Cuatro personas resultaron heridas como consecuencia del tornado, que viajó a casi 19 millas, pero por algún milagro, no hubo muertes.
'Love Is Blind' Producers Sued Over Alleged Sexual Assault
"Love Is Blind" producers are being taken to court ... after one of the contestants claims she was sexually assaulted -- and says the incident might've been caught on camera.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tran Dang -- a contestant on season 5 who was never featured in the final product -- is coming after production companies Delirium TV and Kinetic Content for the alleged incident, which she says went down in 2022.
Dang says she got engaged to fellow contestant Thomas Smith while spending time in the pods ... but claims he sexually assaulted her while filming in Mexico.
She claims Smith "incessantly groped" her, exposed her to his naked body, and "forcibly and repeatedly made sexual contact" with her -- without her consent. Dang says she brought her concerns to producers but alleges they were "swept aside."
She's also suing producers for false imprisonment, claiming she was required to remain on-call in her hotel room and subjected to around-the-clock surveillance that left her "unable to exercise her will in going anywhere she was lawfully allowed to go."
She thinks the 24-hour surveillance means most of the alleged incidents ended up on film.
Dang is seeking more than $1 million in damages, claiming she's suffered extreme emotional distress, pain, mental anguish, and suffering as a result of the ordeal.
"LIB" creator Chris Coelen spoke to People, which was first to report the lawsuit ... saying he supports anyone who comes forward with sexual assault claims, but adds he was "never told that she felt unsafe or experienced any of the allegations that she made."
Delirium and Kinetic Content say Dang's claims are meritless, too.
Fans of the show know Dang and Smith weren't contestants on season 5 ... it appears all traces of them were scrubbed from the final product. She first filed in August 2022, and it's been in mediation since February.

Britney Spears Great Escape to Private Island After Knife Dance Drama
Britney Spears needed some serious rest and relaxation after becoming the target of social media criticism for dancing with knives ... and decided the best place to escape was a private island.
Sources close to the pop star tell TMZ, she and a group of friends took off to the famous Brando hotel in French Polynesia this past weekend.
Britney shared a quick video of herself and some pals in a private plane as they flew over the crystal blue water near the resort.
Fans speculated one of the men onboard the plane, and sitting closest to Britney, could be a new love interest, but our sources say that's not the case ... they're simply acquaintances.
9/25/23
Of course, it's no surprise why Britney might have wanted to escape.
She took a ton of heat for posting multiple videos dancing with knives, a stunt that even prompted a police response for a welfare check. Britney has maintained the knives were fake, but some disagree.
Britney Spears Launches on Cops Who Did Welfare Check After Dancing with Knives
If the Brando sounds familiar ... it's the same spot Beyoncé recently rented out for her birthday during a small break from her "Renaissance" tour. Kim Kardashian also took a group of her closest friends and family members there for her 40th birthday.
The resort features a bunch of private villas, offering anywhere from one to four-bedroom accommodations.
Beyoncé rented out the cream of the crop for her bday bash ... a villa with a private pool which usually goes for about $20,000 per night.
Unclear how much Britney plunked down, but it certainly ain't cheap.

YNW Melly Used 'Rihanna' Code Name ... To Tamper with Witnesses, Officials Claim
-
Exclusive
- 171 shares
YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen are both facing witness tampering charges now, and officials say some of the tampering involved them invoking Rihanna's name as part of their system of codes.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Melly and Bortlen both actively worked behind the scenes to keep key witnesses from cooperating with authorities and testifying in their double-murder trial.
Officials claim Melly is said to have used the phone privileges of another inmate to pass word to the outside ... sometimes in calls to Bortlen, who was out on bond at the time.
According to the docs, Melly had apparently lost phone privileges due to disciplinary violations while in custody.
The docs say during some of the calls, there were references made to "Rihanna" and "A$AP Rocky's baby mama" staying behind in a "Maybach" -- which prosecutors believe was code for instructing a particular female witness not to appear at the trial. The docs note that the woman, in fact, did not show up at the trial.
Officials also say Melly developed a sophisticated system for communication -- which they say is caught on surveillance video -- where he would coordinate the delivery of hand-written messages to various cell blocks through nonspeaking cues.
Melly's lawyer told TMZ Hip Hop the claims are a "desperate attempt" on the part of prosecutors after they failed to get a conviction during the first go-around.
It'll be interesting to see how it all plays with the jury when the retrial starts next week.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la intención de Caitlyn era salir en cámara para defender a la familia y hablar bien de ellos.
Caitlyn ha sido excluida del reality show de las Kardashians en Hulu, por lo que podría sentirse libre de tomar sus propias decisiones acerca de los proyectos en los que quiere participar, sin una "orden de mordaza" en contra de ella.

Kanye West Abandona abruptamente la pedicura Mis pies, mi decisión!!!
Kanye West no quiso aguantar el dolor durante una sesión de pedicura, y en su lugar prefirió cortar a la profesional rápidamente y volver a lo suyo.
Ty Dolla $ign, amigo y compañero musical de Kanye, subió a las redes el jueves unas divertidas imágenes en las que se ve la interacción de Kanye con la desconcertada pedicura. Allí se ve al rapero sacudirse de dolor antes de decidir que quería parar el tratamiento.
La pedicurista intenta convencerlo de que la deje terminar, pero él no se mueve y le dice: "Son mis pies". Echa un vistazo a la cara de Ty, quien está estupefacto con toda la charla.
Kanye ha estado caminando descalzo por Europa durante todo el verano, por lo que hay que imaginar que la profesional tenía trabajo que hacer, pero Ye no quería correr el riesgo.
Curiosamente, después de decirle que pararan, no perdió ni un segundo y volvió a los negocios.

Como informamos la semana pasada, Kanye está trabajando en un proyecto en solitario. Él y Ty$ también han estado trabajando duro en un álbum conjunto. Al parecer nada, ni siquiera sus callos, le impedirán terminarlos.
Kanye West Abruptly Quits Pedicure My Toes, My Choice!!!
Kanye West didn't wanna tough it through a painful pedicure, cutting the technician off before the whole thing wrapped, and then getting back to his business.
Kanye's pal, and music partner Ty Dolla $ign uploaded the funny footage Thursday showing Kanye's interaction with the puzzled pedicurist. You see Kanye react with a quick jolt of pain before deciding the whole treatment was over ... standing up and saying he wanted to stop.
The woman performing the pedicure tries to convince Kanye to let her finish, but he ain't budging, saying "It's my toes." Check out the look on Ty's face, he's stunned by the whole interaction.
Kanye's essentially been trekking barefoot in Europe throughout the summer -- so you gotta imagine the nail tech had her work cut out for her -- but Ye didn't wanna take a chance.
Funny enough, after he told her the whole thing was over, Kanye didn't miss a beat ... getting back to business.

Mujer es despedida de su trabajo Por proferir insultos racistas contra inmigrantes
Una mujer fue despedida de su trabajo después de que lanzara un xenófobo discurso a unos turistas alemanes, a quienes llamó malditos inmigrantes y exigió que se fueran del país.
Brianna Pinnix estaba a cargo de la incorporación de talento en Capital Rx hasta que fue grabada dando su reprimenda a dos hombres a bordo de un tren con destino a Nueva York. Y el video fue publicado en Reddit para que todos lo vieran, según el New York Post.
Un portavoz de Capital Rx dijo al medio el miércoles por la noche: "Nuestra empresa tiene una política de tolerancia cero en torno a la conducta prejuiciosa o discriminatoria. Tras revisar las circunstancias, actuamos de inmediato y despedimos al empleado en cuestión".
El representante añadió: "Las acciones y palabras del ex empleado no son representativas de Capital Rx y ofrecemos nuestras más sinceras disculpas a aquellos que fueron heridos".
A primera hora del día apareció un video en Reddit en donde se ve a Pinnix arremetiendo contra los hombres, mientras su compañera intentaba detenerla.
En el clip, Pinnix le grita a uno de los tipos: "¡¿Qué fue lo que dijiste? Dime qué acabas de decir". Su acompañante le ruega que pare y le advierte que la podrían arrestar.
Pero Pinnix no escucha y continúa con su arrebato. En un momento dado, el hombre se levanta y le dice algo, pero se vuelve a sentar y agacha su cabeza como negando todo.
Tras volver a su asiento, Pinnix empieza a hablar de los "putos inmigrantes". Finalmente, le dice a los turistas: "¿Qué tal si se largan de nuestro pu** país?".
Los otros pasajeros también se molestan con la actitud de la pasajera y se lo hacen saber. Una mujer dice: "Esto no está bien".
Algunos usuarios de Reddit comentaron que Pinnix parecía estar borracha. Puede ser... pero eso no es excusa para su comportamiento y ahora está sin trabajo por ello.
Philly Biker Arrested After Stomping Through Car Window ... Bail Set at $2.5 Million!!!
10/3/23
Severe road rage has a Philly biker behind bars this morning ... after he was caught on camera smashing the rear window of a woman's car as her 2 young kids were in the backseat.
Cops busted 26-year-old Cody Heron Wednesday night for a heinous attack on a driver Sunday night. Heron was part of a group of bikers riding through the city when they rolled up on Nikki Bullock's sedan.
Video of the incident shows Heron hop off his motorcycle, and stomp twice on the rear window of her car before he smashes right through it.
You can also see Heron was armed with a handgun, because it falls out of his waistband as he jumps off the car to get back on his bike. After a brief physical confrontation -- during which Heron headbutts Nikki with his helmet -- he and the other bikers flee the scene.
Cops finally tracked down Heron Wednesday night at a home where they also found his motorcycle, helmet and a 9mm handgun.
He was booked for possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, and multiple counts of aggravated assault.
Nikki says the whole thing started because Heron sideswiped her car while she was delivering for Uber Eats. She was arguing with him and other bikers, and says that's when Heron jumped off his bike and pounced on the window ... with her 5-year-old and 2-year-old kids just inches away.
Prosecutors are showing they mean business, requesting Heron's bail be set at $5 million, but the judge brought it down to $2.5 mil during arraignment. He can be released by posting 10 percent of that amount, though.

Racist Rant Woman Axed From Her Job ... Following Anti-'Immigrant' Diatribe
A woman was fired from her job after she went on a xenophobic rant calling German tourists "f**king immigrants" and demanding they leave "our country," TMZ has confirmed.
Brianna Pinnix was a talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx until she was filmed giving her tongue-lashing to a group of men aboard a train bound for NYC -- and the video was posted on Reddit for everyone to see Tuesday morning.
On Thursday, a spokesperson for Capital Rx told TMZ, "Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question."
The rep added, "The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt. We are proud of our company’s diversity and will continue to foster policies for inclusion and invest in our DEI programs."
The New York Post was first to report about Pinnix's firing.
In the Reddit video, Pinnix approaches the men in their seats and starts going off on them as her companion tries to put a stop to it aboard the train.
At one point, Pinnix gets up in the grill of one of the guys and screams, 'What did you say?! Tell me what you said!" Her companion begs her to "not do this," warning that she might get arrested.
But Pinnix doesn't listen and continues to yell at the same guy, prompting him to jump up and raise his voice to her. He then sits back down, shaking his head.
After returning to her own seat, Pinnix starts sounding off about "f**king immigrants." She eventually tells the tourists, "How about you get the f**k out of our country."
The other passengers are not down with her vitriol, and they let her know it, with one woman saying, "That's messed up."
Some Reddit users commented that Pinnix appeared to be drunk. Maybe, but that doesn't excuse her behavior and she's now unemployed because of it.

Environmental activists stormed a theater where Les Misérables was being performed and took over the stage ... halting the production and leading to several arrests.
The chaotic scene happened during a Tuesday performance of the famous play in London's West End, where folks protesting against oil, gas and coal rushed the stage before the play was over.
Video shows demonstrators from "Just Stop Oil" storming the stage in the middle of a musical number ... with protestors shouting at the audience to "join the rebellion."
Police officers were called and five activists were arrested.
💬 Hanan, a student, took action because the UK Government, by approving new oil and gas has shown total disregard for their wellbeing.

💬 Noah, a theatre lover, took action because he knows there's no future for the arts if society fails under the pressures of climate collapse. pic.twitter.com/M6uv4Du0oy
Demonstrators rushed the stage from either end as the Les Mis cast was performing the show's famous song, "One Day More." The show tried to go on but the cast was then escorted off stage, and the theater was evacuated and the show did not finish.
The audience booed the protestors as they held up orange banners with the Just Stop Oil logo ... with some in the crowd shouting at the activists to get the hell outta there.
Just Stop Oil says its goal is to demand governments stop licensing new oil, gas and coal projects ... and they've protested other big events like Wimbledon and vandalized famous Vincent Van Gogh artwork.
Ticket prices for Les Miserables range from $49 to $183 ... so no wonder the paying customers were pissed, though they are getting refunds.

Activistas ecologistas irrumpieron en un teatro en donde se presentaba Los Miserables. Se tomaron el escenario, detuvieron la producción y varios de ellos fueron detenidos.
La caótica escena tuvo lugar durante una representación el martes de la famosa obra en el West End de Londres, donde personas que protestaban contra el uso del petróleo, el gas y el carbón se abalanzaron sobre el escenario antes de que terminara la obra.
El video muestra a los manifestantes de "Just Stop Oil" irrumpiendo en el escenario en medio de un número musical y alentando al público a que "se unan a la rebelión".

Los manifestantes se abalanzaron sobre el escenario desde ambos extremos, mientras el reparto de Les Mis interpretaba la famosa canción del espectáculo, "One Day More." La producción intentó continuar, pero el elenco fue escoltado fuera del escenario, el teatro evacuado y el espectáculo quedó inconcluso.
El público abucheó a los manifestantes mientras sostenían pancartas de color naranja con el logotipo de Just Stop Oil. Algunos en la multitud les gritaban que salieran de allí.
Just Stop Oil dice que su objetivo es exigir a los gobiernos que dejen de conceder licencias para nuevos proyectos de petróleo, gas y carbón. La agrupación ya ha protestado en otros grandes eventos como Wimbledon y ha destrozado famosas obras de Vincent Van Gogh.
Los precios para Los Miserables oscilan entre los 49 y 183 dólares, así que no es de extrañar que los clientes estuvieran cabreados, aunque ya están recibiendo reembolsos.
