You Might Want to Rethink

Bill Maher can't understand how people can criticize folks like MrBeast who are helping cure blindness, provide clean drinking water to villages that don't have it, and on and on ... well, actually he does understand -- he says the critics are f**king idiots.

The 'Real Time' host used MrBeast -- an insanely popular YouTuber with 38 billion views -- as an example of how we have lost all common sense and how lazy critics condemn acts of kindness and helpfulness that are objectively good.

Example -- MrBeast gave a pile of loot to doctors to perform cataract surgeries to restore sight. Buzzfeed, among others, condemned it, saying "MrBeast seemed to regard disabilities as something that needs to be solved." Seriously.

MrBeast has done so much more. Example -- He funded 100 wells in Africa to provide clean drinking water to 500,000 people. He was condemned by a charity as a white male figure with a huge platform who was grabbing all the attention. As BM said, "You know what else is frustrating? Dying of thirst."

And another example -- MrBeast paid to rebuild an orphanage in Africa, and was trashed as being the classic "white savior."

And this craziness even seeps into our government ... the NIH proposed an amendment to axe the word "disability," because it implies disabled people are flawed and need to be fixed. Bill says if he ever loses his sight or hearing, don't praise him, fix him.

Presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn are on the hot seat after telling Congress they have reservations about banning calls for Jewish genocide, and the Executive Director of the MIT Free Speech Alliance seems to agree with them.

Peter Bonilla appeared on "TMZ Live" Friday, and he said Liz Magill, the President of Penn, was wrong to walk back her position and suggest censorship was appropriate when it came to calling for Jewish genocide.

Bonilla says it opens the door to all sorts of censorship. Harvey then posed a hypothetical question ... what if students who were members of the KKK protested with burning crosses and called for the genocide of Black people?  Bonilla said that's a different situation, and they should be banned and/or disciplined.

The question ... what's the difference? Bonilla talks about the fact there's dangerous history with the KKK, but Harvey notes there's also history with Jews.

Nick Cannon and Zeus Network are getting put on blast for a competition that pitted "dark skin" and "light skin" women against each other.

Here's the deal, Zeus and Nick collaborated on a live show Thursday night called "Bad vs. Wild Las Vegas" -- pinning "Wild 'N Out" stars from Nick's side against "Baddies" from Zeus' side.

Promo posts online said it would feature several competitions with different themes -- one being a separation by skin tone.

The post was met with a lot of hate because of its colorist implications -- Zeus took it down and uploaded an edited version, which read, "Chocolate Goddesses VS Caramel Goddesses."

That didn't sit well with folks, either ... with many pointing out the name change doesn't alter the intent of the competition.

Zeus' new post also added, "Remember, we’re here to break down stereotypes, not to uphold them."

Still, folks chimed in on the game ... getting comments like "This is still colorist y'all are sad" and "This whole idea should've just been scrapped." One added, "This is just as bad as lightskin vs darkskin....yall didnt do anything but try to put a positive spin on colorism."

Zeus and Nick also had a "BBWs vs. Slim Girls" competition go down on the same night ... which was met with the same disdain.

Size does matter, allegedly, to an Oklahoma cop who's been arrested for assaulting a sex shop clerk who defended the cop's wife ... in an argument about the size of her sex toys. Seriously.

This all went down at Christie's Toy Box in Oklahoma City ... where Pottawatomie Sheriff's commander David DeWitt took his wife shopping for a new sex toy. According to the arrest report, obtained by FOX25, DeWitt grew enraged Monday night when the missus picked up a few items that were, umm ... "bigger than him."

The clerk says DeWitt told his wife she didn't need fake penises that put him to shame, and allegedly raised his hand as if to backhand her. The clerk says he stepped in between them at the point and asked DeWitt to leave the store, but he allegedly barked back, "F*** you, I'm a cop!"

The violence allegedly broke out when DeWitt and his wife were checking out, and that same clerk asked if they wanted to buy any batteries for their new device. That's when DeWitt allegedly yelled, "What the f*** you say to me, fat boy?"

The clerk says he told DeWitt to get out of his face, and that's when DeWitt jumped behind the counter and repeatedly punched him in the face and ribs, tossed a bunch of merchandise around the store ... and then left in a convertible Bentley.

Shortly thereafter, DeWitt was pulled over, but not for the sex shop incident -- a state trooper nailed him for speeding. The trooper was going to let DeWitt go with a warning, but then heard the call about the alleged fight over a phallus ... and notified OKC cops he had DeWitt pulled over.

DeWitt was booked for misdemeanor assault, and he's been suspended without pay pending an investigation.

Selena Gomez está persiguiendo a aquellos que piensan que su relación con Benny Blanco no es la mejor jugada, defendiendo a su hombre y su relación.

La cantante y actriz ha estado respondiendo a la gente en línea acerca de su relación con el productor musical, declarando: "Él es absolutamente todo en mi corazón".

Pero no se detuvo allí. Selena se tomó el tiempo para responder a los comentarios menos positivos de la gente sobre su noviazgo, diciéndoles que él es "lo mejor que le ha pasado", y que es "mejor que nadie con quien haya estado. Hechos"

También le respondió a otro hater: "Nunca permitiré que tus palabras guíen mi vida. Si no puedes aceptarme cuando estoy más feliz entonces no estés en [mi] vida en absoluto".

Aunque la mayor parte de la controversia ha sido borrada desde entonces, la gente le estaba reclamando que Benny era un downgrade o retroceso en términos de pretendientes para Selena. Usted recordarán, que la cantante y actriz ha sido vinculada a chicos como Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner y Nick Jonas.

En cuanto a sus relaciones anteriores, Selena simplemente le dijo a un comentarista: "No voy a estar con un chico de mie*** nunca más".

No, no especificó a quién se refería con ese comentario.

Selena Gomez is comin' after those who think her relationship with Benny Blanco isn't the right move ... by defending her man and their status.

The singer/actress has been responding to folks online about her relationship with the music producer ... and declaring, "He is my absolute everything in my heart."

She didn't stop there ... Selena took time to reply to people's less-than-positive comments about her dating choice -- saying he's "the best thing that's ever happened to me," and adds he's "better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts."

Selena clapped back at another hater with, "I will never allow your words to guide my life ... If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in [my] life at all."

While most of the back and forth has since been deleted, people were claiming Benny was a downgrade in terms of BF material for Selena. You'll recall, she's been linked to guys like Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas.

In terms of her previous relationships, Selena simply told one commenter, "I'm not going to be with a f***boy ever again."

No, she was not specific as to whom she was referring with that remark.

Hunter Biden has been charged with 9 crimes in connection with the DOJ's investigation into his alleged tax evasion.

President Joe Biden's son was charged with failure to pay taxes, evasion of assessment, filing false or fraudulent tax returns, among other charges.

The new case from special counsel David Weiss stems from Hunter's business dealings overseas. Prosecutors claim Hunter at one point owed $2 million to the IRS, which he apparently paid back in 2021 ... with a loan from a friend.

As we reported, Hunter was also indicted on gun charges back in September -- charged with one count of making false statements in connection with the purchase of a firearm, one count of making false statements to a federal firearms licensed dealer, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott just issued a mea culpa ... telling media members Thursday he's truly sorry for bringing up the 9/11 attacks in a motivational speech a couple years ago.

According to GoLongTD.com's Tyler Dunne ... McDermott's tone-deaf talk to his players happened during the Bills' 2019 training camp -- when he was trying to emphasize to his squad how it needed to communicate to come together.

"Sources on-hand say, he used a strange model: the terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001," Dunne wrote in a lengthy three-part piece about the coach that was published on Thursday morning.

"He cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection."

When McDermott addressed the issue with reporters Thursday afternoon ... he didn't deny making the making comments.

"I regretted mentioning 9/11 in my message that day," he said, "and I immediately apologized to the team." He added that his goal was to get his guys to understand the importance of "being on the same page."

ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reported the coach also said he has plans to apologize to his current roster over the comments later Thursday.

"Not only was 9/11 a horrific event in our country's history," McDermott said, "but a day that I lost a good family friend."

He continued, "I'm not here to discuss the article that's out there and the things that are mentioned other than this right here, because this right here is very, very important to me and something I take very seriously."

Una presentadora de noticias de la BBC fue sorprendida mostrando el dedo del medio mientras estaba al aire el miércoles, pero ella afirma que todo fue una "tonta broma".

Maryam Moshiri -una de las "presentadoras jefes" de la BBC- estaba sentada detrás de la mesa de noticias, protegida de la vista del público por el clip de bienvenida a su programa de mediodía que muestra una cuenta regresiva mezclada con otras imágenes.

Al final de la introducción, Moshiri apareció en pantalla haciendo una mueca graciosa con la cabeza inclinada hacia un lado, mientras miraba al público.

De repente se dio cuenta de que estaba en directo y abandonó rápidamente su bobo comportamiento para sumergirse nuevamente en una historia sobre el ex primer ministro británico Boris Johnson, en que pide disculpas al Reino Unido por el dolor causado por la pandemia del Coronavirus.

Moshiri emitió sus propias disculpas después de que su embarazosa metedura de pata se hiciera viral en las redes sociales.

En un comunicado publicado en X, Moshiri dijo que estaba compartiendo una broma privada con el equipo y siente mucho que saliera al aire.

Continuó: "No era mi intención que esto sucediera y lo siento si ofendí o molesté a alguien".

También insistió en que no estaba "tomándole el pelo" a sus espectadores o alguien en particular y que todo era una "broma tonta" dirigida a un pequeño número de colegas.

A BBC news anchor got caught flipping off the camera while live on the air Wednesday -- but she claims it was all a "silly joke."

Maryam Moshiri -- one of the BBC's "chief presenters" -- was sitting behind the news desk shielded from the audience's view by the intro to her noon show -- a digital countdown mixed with other graphics.

At the end of the intro, Moshiri flashed on screen making a funny face with her head tilted to one side -- while flipping the bird.

She suddenly realized she was live on air and quickly abandoned her goofy behavior, turning serious as she dived into a story about former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologizing to the UK for the pain caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Moshiri issued her own apology after her embarrassing gaffe went viral on social media.

In a statement posted on X, Moshiri said she was sharing a "private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air!"

She continued, "It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone."

She also insisted she was not "flipping the bird" to her viewers or anyone else -- and it was all a "silly joke" meant for a small number of colleagues.

Un YouTuber fue condenado a 6 meses de prisión federal el lunes por obstrucción a la justicia después de estrellar deliberadamente su avión para avivar sus redes sociales.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, de 30 años y ex snowboarder olímpico, se enfrentaba a una pena máxima de 20 años y fue condenado a solo 6 meses por John F. Walter, juez del distrito de Estados Unidos, después de declararse culpable por el cargo de "destrucción y ocultación con la intención de obstruir una investigación federal" el 30 de junio.

En un reciente comunicado de prensa, los fiscales federales dicen que Jacob confesó haber orquestado el accidente del 24 de noviembre de 2021 y haberlo publicado un mes después en YouTube, el 23 de diciembre, con el título: "Me estrellé con mi avión".

En el video se ve a Jacob volando un avión monomotor desde el aeropuerto de Lompoc a Mammoth Lakes, antes de afirmar que el motor estaba fallando a los 30 minutos.

Las imágenes capturan a Jacob abriendo la puerta lateral y saltando desde un paracaídas justo cuando el avión se precipitaba hacia abajo para estrellarse.

Los fiscales dicen que Jacbo esperó dos días a propósito para informar del accidente a la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte, quien le aconsejó que preservara los restos. La investigación se estancó cuando les dijo que no sabía donde se había estrellado el avión.

En su lugar, utilizó un helicóptero para levantar los restos del bosque nacional de Los Padres el 10 de diciembre de 2021, antes de desmantelarlo y deshacerse de él.

Durante su sentencia del lunes, el juez Walter le ordenó que se entregara a las autoridades antes del 29 de enero. En una declaración transmitida por su abogado, Jacobs dijo: "Esta experiencia ha sido tan humillante".

A YouTuber was sentenced Monday to 6 months in federal prison for obstruction of justice after deliberately crashing his single-propeller plane ... to bolster his social media.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, 30, of Lompoc -- a former Olympic snowboarder who was facing a max sentence of 20 years -- was sentenced to just 6 months by United States District Judge John F. Walter ... after pleading guilty to one count of "destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation" on June 30.

Federal prosecutors say in a recent news release that Jacob confessed to orchestrating the crash on November 24, 2021 ... posting the pre-planned event to YouTube nearly a month later on December 23, titling it, "I Crashed My Airplane."

The video sees Jacob flying a single-engine plane from Lompoc City Airport to Mammoth Lakes ... before claiming the plane's engine had failed 30 minutes in.

The footage captures Jacob opening the side door and leaping out to deploy a parachute just as the plane hurtles downward into a crash below.

Prosecutors say he purposely waited two days to report the pre-planned crash to the National Transportation Safety Board, who advised him to preserve the wreckage --- though he stalled the investigation, telling them he didn't know where the plane went down.

Instead, he used a helicopter to lift the wreckage out of the Los Padres National Forest on December 10, 2021 ... before dismantling and disposing of it.

During his sentencing Monday, Judge Walter ordered him to surrender to the authorities by Jan. 29 ... with Jacobs saying in a statement conveyed by his lawyer: "This experience has been so humbling."

More stars getting crap thrown at them while they're on stage ... this time it was Florence Pugh, and it happened all the way down in Brazil.

The actress appeared alongside her 'Dune 2' costars Sunday in Sao Paolo for an event called CCXP 2023 -- basically just a Comic Con thing, where they all showed up alongside director Denis Villeneuve and talked about the forthcoming sequel in front of fans.

As their segment was coming to a close ... the entire cast -- including Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler -- gathered toward the front of the stage to pose together.

Out of nowhere, this thing comes flying in from the audience and smacks Pugh in the mug -- which definitely caught her by surprise ... not to mention everyone else too. All her cast members checked on her to make sure she was okay ... and their time ended awkwardly.

No telling what exactly it was ... but at first glance, one might say it resembles a shrimp.

Unclear if anybody was held to account over this -- if you watch the video, it doesn't look like security is running over to the culprit ... or if much of anything else was done at all. Of course, it goes without saying ... this troubling trend of hurling objects continues even now.

We've seen a lot of performers -- especially musicians -- have to deal with overzealous fans like this here in the States ... but it appears people all over the world are doing it as well.

El patio trasero de de Barbra Streisand en Malibú se convirtió en el lugar de desembarco de un barco de inmigrantes que llegó a la orilla a principios de la semana pasada y todo está en video.

FOX News Bill Melugin obtuvo imágenes impactantes que parecen mostrar un barco llegando a tierra el martes por la tarde frente a la costa de Malibú con lo que él describe como presuntos inmigrantes ilegales, al menos un par de docenas o por lo que parece

De acuerdo con el video de vigilancia, alrededor de la 1 PM o algo así, se puede ver a estas personas saltar y correr a lo largo de la playa tan pronto como llegan a tierra firme.

No se sabe si algunos de ellos han sido capturados o detenidos por el momento, pero solo un día después, los informes de otro barco surgió frente a la costa de Malibú. Solo que este se hundió y nadie fue encontrado... nada más que escombros y chalecos salvavidas, según dijeron los medios de comunicación de Los Ángeles.

Ahora, en cuanto a lo que Barbra tiene que ver en esto... la verdad no mucho. El New York Post insiste en que este barco se detuvo justo abajo de la casa de la actriz, pero no está claro de donde están recibiendo esa información, ya que no citan ninguna fuente oficial.

Barbra posee tres propiedades adyacentes en la zona y todas bordean un acantilado con vista al océano. Si es cierto que su casa se encuentra justo encima de donde este barco aterrizó, sería un escenario bastante aterrador, especialmente si los migrantes siguen sueltos.

Por supuesto, hay varias otras estrellas que viven en Malibú a las que esto posiblemente podría afectar también, incluyendo vecinos de Barbra como Lady Gaga, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Leo DiCaprio y un sinnúmero de otras celebridades que tienen propiedades en la zona.

Lo que es interesante acerca de la ubicación... Malibú es una ciudad santuario y algunos especulan que puede ser parte de la razón por la que el barco llegó allí, a diferencia de Los Ángeles, que aún no es oficialmente una ciudad santuario, a pesar de que aprobó una resolución este año para iniciar el proceso.

En cualquier caso, es solo una prueba de que la situación en la frontera sur no se detiene ahí, parece que la gente está encontrando maneras de entrar en el país a través de otras vías y la élite de Hollywood podría tener que lidiar con ello.

The beachy backyard of Barbra Streisand's Malibu home reportedly became the landing spot for a migrant boat that drifted ashore earlier this past week ... and it's all on video.

FOX News' Bill Melugin obtained shocking footage that appears to show a panga boat washing ashore on Tuesday afternoon off the coast of Malibu with what he describes as suspected illegal migrants ... at least a couple dozen or so from the looks of it.

According to the surveillance video, this was captured in broad daylight ... around 1 PM or so, and you can see these folks hop out and scurry along the beach as soon as they land.

No word if any of them have been captured and detained just yet ... but just a day later, reports of yet another panga boat surfaced off the coast of Malibu as well -- only that one sunk, and nobody was found ... only debris and life jackets, per local Los Angeles media.

Now, as far as what Barb has to do with any of this ... the New York Post insists this boat that drifted in from sea actually did so just below her Malibu compound -- although it's unclear where they're getting that info from ... as they don't cite any official sourcing.

Barbra owns three adjacent properties in the area, and yes -- they do all border a cliff that overlooks the ocean below. If it's true her crib was located just above where this boat landed ... it's a pretty frightening scenario, especially if the migrants are still on the loose.

Of course, there are several other stars who live in Malibu that this could possibly affect as well -- including neighbors of Barbra's like Lady Gaga, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Leo DiCaprio and countless other celebs who have properties in the area.

What's interesting about the location ... Malibu is a sanctuary city, and some speculate that may be part of the reason the boat arrived there ... as opposed to L.A., which is not yet officially a sanctuary city -- although it did pass a resolution this year to start the process.

In any case, it's just evidence that the situation at the Southern border doesn't just stop there ... looks like people are finding ways into the country through other avenues, and Hollywood's elite might just have to deal with it.

Johnny Depp no ha sido ampliamente abrazado por muchas estrellas de Hollywood desde su juicio con Amber Heard, pero una estrella le está dando la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos... Will Smith.

Los dos actores estaban en el Festival de Cine del Mar Rojo en Arabia Saudita la semana pasada y cada uno caminó por la alfombra por separado, al igual que otras grandes celebridades. Pero una vez que entraron, se encontraron y se mostraron realmente amistosos el uno con el otro.

Curiosamente, el propio Will publicó un par de clips que lo muestran a él y a Johnny abrazandos y charlando. Aunque el momento es fugaz como parte de su compilación más grande, queda claro que asistió al evento y se encontró con Depp.

Sin embargo, Will no mencionó explícitamente a Johnny ni habló de su encuentro en el pie de foto. Simplemente escribió: "¡Gracias, Festival de Cine del Mar Rojo! Habéis creado auténtica magia: ¡un oasis de arte y creatividad! ¿Qué será lo próximo? Me apunto".

En realidad tienes que ver el post en su totalidad para captar el hecho de que pasaron el rato, pero está ahí, y definitivamente es interesante, ya que parece que es la primera gran estrella en relacionarse de esta manera con Johnny, especialmente después del juicio.

El "regreso" de Johnny ha sido menos que tibio y ha aparecido en algunas campañas de alto perfil aquí y allá, pero no lo hemos visto participar realmente de nuevo en la escena de Hollywood de una manera importante. Lo mismo ocurre con su exesposa.

Como hemos dicho, Will parece ser el primer verdadero "superfamoso" que ha aceptado a Johnny de nuevo y por extraño que parezca, no parecen tener ninguna historia real. No hay películas juntos y no eran viejos amigos.

A pesar de todo, aquí está Will apretando fuerte a Johnny sin reservas. Teniendo en cuenta que el propio Will se ha convertido en el centro de la polémica últimamente, es bueno verlo relajado.

Will acaba de decir el otro día que está en un viaje de curación y tratando de ajustar su visión de la vida y parece que comienza con no juzgar a los demás que han sido etiquetados de cierta manera. Por cierto, la reputación de Johnny sigue siendo increíblemente divisiva, incluso después de su victoria en los tribunales.
