You Might Want to Rethink

Jim Gaffigan took the oxygen out of the room during while presenting an award at the Golden Globes -- and it's because he somewhat referenced Jeffrey Epstein-esque material.

The longtime standup was on hand Sunday to hand out the award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television -- a whole new category that the GG are starting to include ... and while acknowledging how wild that development was, JG made a jaw-dropping joke.

He was talking about how crazy it is he's even in showbiz, saying ... "I'm from a small town in Indiana, I'm not a pedophile." A handful of people laughed, but it was mostly dead silent.

Jim went on to rhetorically ask if "pedophile" was a new category there, but noted he was happy to be presenting an award for comics with big specials ... arguing it was overdue.

Eventually, he announced the winner as Ricky Gervais for his new Netflix show -- but the guy didn't show up, so Jim accepted on his behalf. The whole bit was very dry and sarcastic, in typical Jim fashion, but his crack felt like a little too soon for the ritzy crowd.

That said, some people did appear to laugh ... including Taylor Swift, who apparently found some of what Jim had to say funny, specifically toward the end his very brief set.

Jo Koy's opening monologue at the Golden Globes this year was a little ... well, up and down -- and the audience seemed to let him know early and often.

The comedian kinda came out with kid gloves at first during Sunday's broadcast, praising everyone and talking about how big of a moment it was for all the nominees ... and for himself. Eventually, he launched into some attempted ribbing at some of the movies.

For starters, his jokes about 'Barbie' didn't land with the audience all that well -- probably because he was a little crude in characterizing what it was about ... a doll with "big boobs."

There were some groans in the crowd ... and Jo noted he only had about a week and a half or so prepare this monologue -- acknowledging not everything he wrote (or had written for him) was going to kill. And yet, he continued on with some other zingers that fizzled out.

JK made light of Barry Keoghan's penis in 'Saltburn' ... suggesting it had made its way to Bradley Cooper's face in 'Maestro' -- obviously referring to prosthetic nose he rocked.

There was a lot more -- and it was vey uneven ... lasting about 10 minutes. While he was able to get through it in the end, Twitter/X was letting Jo have it online ... with bad reviews.

Donald Trump está alentando a sus seguidores a estar atentos el día de votación.

El ex presidente estaba haciendo campaña en Iowa el viernes -lugar que está a punto de iniciar su votación el 15 de enero- y dijo que quiere que sus leales de MAGA le pongan fin a tanta "mierda".

Échale un vistazo al clip, Trump le dice ominosamente a la multitud que deambulen por los centros electorales y estén atentos a las "bolsas de mierda" que podrían tratar de infiltrarse.

Si los votantes de MAGA ven algo de eso, él les anima a ponerle fin a la misma allí en las cabinas, casi como incitando a algunos enfrentamientos físicos.

Bromas escatológicas aparte, esto es bastante serio y es como una advertencia de los conflictos por venir a medida que nos acercamos al día de la votación. Trump está avivando hablando sobre la manipulación de las elecciones e irritando a su base de seguidores en este momento.

Por supuesto, hemos visto esa historia antes... el 6 de enero de 2021.

Es, tal vez, no es coincidencia entonces que Trump estaba hablando de esta manera en la víspera del aniversario de 3 años de eso. Y sí, sigue insistiendo en que las elecciones de 2020 fueron "robadas".

Donald Trump's encouraging his supporters to stop people on Election Day that they suspect might be up to no good ... and he's using fecal descriptions to send his message.

The ex-Prez was out campaigning in Iowa Friday -- which is about to kick off its caucus voting on Jan. 15 -- and he made no bones about what he wants MAGA loyalists to do during this presidential election in November ... put a halt to the BS, emphasis on s***.

Check out the clip ... DT ominously tells the crowd that he expects them to roam around election centers and keep an eye out for "bags of crap" that might try to infiltrate.

If the MAGA voters see any of that ... he encourages them to put a stop to it right there at the booths. On its face, it almost sounds like he's cosigning some physical confrontations.

Poop jokes aside, this is pretty serious ... and it comes across as a warning of conflicts to come as we get closer to voting day itself. Already, it's sounding like Trump is stoking the flames of election interference/tampering -- and he's riling up his base right now in January.

Of course, we've seen that story before and how it played out ... namely, Jan. 6, 2021.

It's, perhaps, no coincidence then that Trump was talking this way on the eve of the 3-year anniversary of that. And yes, he continues to insist the 2020 election was "stolen."

Jodie Foster's crapping on Gen Z, but more specifically how they operate on the job -- which begs the obvious question of ... who the hell is she talking about exactly??? 👀

The 2-time Oscar-winning actress did an interview with The Guardian where she candidly shared her thoughts on these young'ns out here ... and she took aim at the early-20-somethings and teens that she appears to have crossed paths with on movie/TV sets.

JF started on this train of thought by first praising 20-year-old actress Bella Ramsey -- saying she asked her to intro her at an event, noting how she embodies a modern type of womanhood in her appearance/fashion choices, etc. Bella identifies as nonbinary, BTW.

In the same breath, though, Jodie went on to slam other Gen Z'ers at large -- including, apparently, old coworkers of hers, with JF griping ... "They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’"

She continues, "Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’"

The irony, of course, is that she started out in showbiz at a very young age too. In fact, she was just 12 years old while acting in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." Perhaps she's using that experience and how she handled herself in ripping on this new, hip generation!

Now, Jodie could just be speaking about Gen Z office/work culture generally or anecdotally -- but it does kinda sound like she might be referring to Gen Z'ers she's crossed with professionally herself ... and if that's the case, there's only a select handful that fit the bill.

Taylor Swift became the subject of an entire article trying to figure out if she was part of the LGBTQ+ community ... and apparently, people in her world are pretty pissed about it.

The NYT recently published an op-ed by writer Anna Marks -- who identifies as queer -- and it's titled, "Look What We Made Taylor Swift Do." The entire premise of the piece is a deep dive into speculation that TS might, perhaps, be something other than straight.

Marks refers to moments she perceives as Taylor "dropping hairpins" (aka, dropping clues about being LGBTQ+) throughout her career ... writing, "In isolation, a single dropped hairpin is perhaps meaningless or accidental, but considered together, they’re the unfurling of a ballerina bun after a long performance."

She adds, "Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America. They suggest to queer people that she is one of us." If it sounds like a reach, Taylor's camp seems to feel the same way.

While Taylor has certainly proven herself to be ally to the LGBTQ+ community, she's never explicitly indicated she's into anything but dudes -- in fact, her dating record proves that.

That point was hit home by someone close to Taylor, who told CNN ... "Because of her massive success, in this moment there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people’s ethics. This article wouldn’t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans."

This person adds, "There seems to be no boundary some journalists won’t cross when writing about Taylor, regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is -- all under the protective veil of an ‘opinion piece.'"

There have, in fact, been think pieces written about male pop stars and their sexuality ... namely, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, etc. But this point is well taken -- just leave it be, people.

Taraji P. Henson ahora está disparando contra su nueva película "El color púrpura", alegando que fue relegada a un trato de segunda clase durante la producción ... hasta que ella se defendió.

La actriz hizo una crítica mordaz sobre cómo, según ella, fue tratada (al principio) en el set de "El color púrpura", una película de Warner Bros, y cómo tuvo que exigir mejores condiciones de trabajo, incluyendo conseguir alguien que la llevara hasta el propio set.

En una nueva entrevista con el NYT, Taraji revela que tuvo que abogar no solo por sí misma, sino también por sus compañeros de reparto, diciendo: "Nos dieron carros de alquiler y yo estaba como, 'No puedo conducir hasta el set en Atlanta'. Esto es responsabilidad del seguro, es peligroso. Ahora le roban a la gente. ¿Qué aspecto tengo yo, yendo sola al trabajo en un carro de alquiler?".

La actriz añade: "Así que les dije: '¿Pueden llevarme a un chófer o alguien de seguridad? Me decían: 'Bueno, si lo hacemos por ti, tenemos que hacerlo por todos'. ¡Pues háganlo por todos! Son cosas así, cosas por las que no debería tener que luchar. Estaba en el plató de "Empire" luchando por remolques que no estuvieran infestados de bichos".

Taraji tenía más quejas que airear sobre la película, como por ejemplo, la afirmación de que el estudio, al parecer, no estaba interesado en llevar al elenco a una gira de prensa internacional, así como quejas porque tuvo que hacer una audición y romperse el culo por su papel en la película.

Ella explica: "¿Qué más tengo que hacer para demostrar mi valía? Ahora que estoy cantando y bailando para ti, y me subí a la mesa 88 veces con mis rodillas nudosas y tuve que ponerme hielo en las rodillas entre toma y toma, ¿qué más tengo que hacer?".

Todo esto sigue a varias semanas de Taraji y otras estrellas de la película discutiendo su bajo salario en Hollywood, y ha sido revelador, especialmente con nombres tan grandes unidos a esta película, incluyendo el de Oprah, que es productora y ha sido una parte clave de la promoción.

Taraji dice que Oprah tuvo que intervenir en su nombre un puñado de veces debido a sus quejas y, finalmente, todo se solucionó, pero parece haber sido una batalla cuesta arriba durante un tiempo. Una vez más, Taraji es una ganadora del Globo de Oro y actriz nominada al Oscar.

Taraji P. Henson is now taking shots at her own new film "The Color Purple," claiming she was relegated to second-class treatment while in production ... that is, until she fought back.

The actress gave a scathing critique over how she says she was dealt with as talent (at first) on the set of 'TCP' -- a WB film -- and how she had to demand better working conditions ... including getting a lift to and from the set itself.

In a new NYT interview, Taraji reveals she had to advocate not just for herself, but for her castmates as well ... saying, "They gave us rental cars, and I was like, 'I can’t drive myself to set in Atlanta.' This is insurance liability, it’s dangerous. Now they robbing people. What do I look like, taking myself to work by myself in a rental car?"

TPH adds, "So I was like, 'Can I get a driver or security to take me?' I’m not asking for the moon. They’re like, 'Well, if we do it for you, we got to do it for everybody.' Well, do it for everybody! It’s stuff like that, stuff I shouldn’t have to fight for. I was on the set of "Empire" fighting for trailers that wasn’t infested with bugs."

Taraji had more grievances to air about 'TCP' ... including the claim that the studio, apparently, wasn't interested in bringing the cast out internationally for a press run -- as well as complaints about the fact she had to audition and bust her ass for her role in the flick.

She explains ... "What else do I need to do to prove my worth? Now that I’m singing and dancing for you, and I climbed up on the table 88 times with my knobby knees and had to ice my knees in between takes, what else do I need to do?"

All this follows several weeks of Taraji and other stars of the film discussing their low pay in Hollywood ... and it's been eye-opening to watch -- especially with such big names attached to this film, including Oprah ... who's a producer and has been a key part of promotion.

Taraji says Oprah actually had to step in on her behalf a handful of times over these complaints of hers -- and eventually, everything got sorted out ... but it seems to have been an uphill battle for a while. Again, Taraji is a Golden Globe winner/Oscar-nominated actress.

Un vuelo de Alaska Airlines se vio obligado a realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia en Portland después de que una de las ventanas de la cabina explotara, creando un enorme agujero y succionando las pertenencias de los asustados pasajeros.

El avión comercial lleno de pasajeros despegó del Aeropuerto Internacional de Portland alrededor de las 5 PM del viernes, con destino a Ontario, California, pero tuvo que dar la vuelta rápidamente después de que la ventana estallara.

Mientras el avión regresaba al aeropuerto de Portland, se desató el caos cuando las máscaras de oxígeno cayeron sobre los 171 pasajeros y vientos parecidos a los de un tornado azotaron la cabina, causando un "problema de presurización", según la Administración Federal de Aviación.

Durante los 15 minutos siguientes, los pasajeros grabaron videos de la angustiosa experiencia y los compartieron en sus redes, donde se ve el gran agujero en el lateral del avión, por donde fueron succionados varios objetos, entre ellos teléfonos móviles.

Afortunadamente, el Boeing 737-9 aterrizó sin problemas y nadie resultó herido de gravedad. Una azafata sufrió heridas leves.

Una pasajera, Vi Nguyen, le dijo al New York Times que se despertó sobresaltada por un fuerte golpe durante el vuelo y se volvió hacia su izquierda, cuando vio que "la pared lateral del avión había desaparecido". Y añadió: "Lo primero que pensé fue: 'Voy a morir'".

Su compañera, Elizabeth Le, también habló con el NYT, diciendo que un adolescente había perdido su camisa y su piel estaba roja e irritada mientras estaba sentado con su madre en sus asientos.

Los auxiliares de vuelo intentaron ayudarlos a que se trasladaran a otra sección del avión, dijo Le y recordó: "Fue sinceramente horrible. Estuve a punto de derrumbarme, pero me di cuenta que tenía que mantener la calma".

El CEO de Alaska Airlines, Ben Minicucci, emitió un comunicado el viernes por la noche, diciendo que la compañía está dejando temporalmente en tierra su flota de 65 aviones Boeing 737-9 para una inspección y mantenimiento completo como medida de precaución.

An Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland after one of the cabin windows exploded, creating a gaping hole and sucking out belongings from frightened passengers.

The packed commercial airliner took off from Portland International Airport around 5 PM Friday, heading for Ontario, California, but it had to quickly turn around after the window blew out.

As the plane flew back to Portland airport, sheer chaos ensued as oxygen masks rained down on the 171 passengers and tornado-like winds gusted through the cabin, causing a "pressurization issue," according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

During the next 15 minutes, scared passengers recorded videos of the harrowing experience and posted them on social media, showing the large hole in the side of the plane, where several items, including cell phones, were suctioned out.

Luckily, the Boeing 737-9 aircraft touched down safely and no one was seriously hurt, but a flight attendant sustained minor injuries.

One passenger, Vi Nguyen, told the New York Times ... she was jolted awake by a loud bang during the flight and turned to her left, seeing "the wall on the side of the plane is gone.” She added, “The first thing I thought was, ‘I’m going to die.'"

Her pal, Elizabeth Le, also spoke to the NYT, saying a teenage boy had lost his shirt and his skin was red and irritated as he sat with his mom in their seats.

Flight attendants were trying to help them move to another section of the plane, Le said, recalling, “It was honestly horrifying. I almost broke down, but I realized I needed to remain calm.”

Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci issued a statement Friday night, saying the company is temporarily grounding its fleet of 65 Boeing 737-9 aircraft for full inspection and maintenance as a precautionary measure.

Ice Cube has entered the Katt Williams chat days after the comedian shook up showbiz with his "Club Shay Shay" interview ... and, he's looking to clarify the allegation he tried to make light of a rape scene.

Katt accused Rickey Smiley of lying about being the OG pick for his "Money Mike" role in "Friday After Next" -- and also claimed he saved the character from a bathroom rape scene involving Terry Crews' ex-con character, "Damon."

Cube agreed that Rickey lost the part after Katt embodied the pimp schtick to make "Money Mike" an unforgettable character, but denies he ever wrote a rape scene for the film -- he says that's just not his style.

Cube says the main goal of the scene was to cancel out Katt and Terry's characters, as the film had 3 main villains, including the "Santa Claus" role Rickey ended up filling.

The hip hop legend also took some time out to address the ingrates who've groused over the years about their salaries in the 'Friday' franchise.

Cube explained actors aren't the only ones who need to get paid for movies -- producers, stagehands, even the coffee runners have to get paid every day, while most of the actors he employed were done with their scenes after a couple of days.

ESPN is distancing itself from Aaron Rodgers' recent comments about Jimmy Kimmel ... chalking his controversial appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" up to a bad attempt at comedy.

The New York Jets quarterback sparked an intense feud with the ABC late-night host earlier this week ... when he suggested Kimmel could be among the famous names on Jeffrey Epstein's client list.

Kimmel was furious with Rodgers ... firing back by claiming the comments could put his family in danger -- and threatening to take legal action if he continued to bark up that tree.

Mike Foss -- ESPN's senior vice president of digital and studio production -- addressed the whole issue in an interview with Front Office Sports on Friday ... and he said the comments never should have came out of Rodgers' mouth.

"Pat announced today that he’s planning on Aaron joining the show Tuesday," Foss told the outlet. "Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel."

"The show will continue to evolve. It wouldn’t surprise me if Aaron’s role evolves with it."

Based on the latter part of that statement, it certainly sounds like the network won't step in and prevent Rodgers from going back on the show ... but on Friday's show, Pat accused ESPN exec Norby Williamson of sabotaging his program amid the drama.

Of course, the beef between Rodgers and Kimmel is complicated -- McAfee and the TV personality are both in the Disney family and wildly popular in their respective fields.

Talk about fishing for attention -- some guy is in serious trouble after stripping naked and jumping into a Bass Pro Shop pond -- and footage from horrified bystanders has captured everything.

You gotta see it to believe it -- the man executes a cannonball from the top floor of the store in Leeds, Alabama Thursday ... cops say the guy, 42-year-old George Owens, performed the stunt just before closing time.

The videos show Owens yelling something to officers as he shamelessly hangs on the edge ... legs spread wide apart and all -- before dramatically hurling himself over the side and onto the wet cement floor, smacking his head and ass in the process.

Cops get Owens into cuffs though he continues to put up a fight. However, he eventually calms down.

At one point, another man covers him with a blanket to spare bystanders the naked sight ... and police slide him away on his belly.

As for what led up to the erratic fish tank display, Police Chief Paul Irwin tells TMZ, Owens was driving in a car with 2 family members around 9 PM when he hit a pole in the store's parking lot.

From there, he decided to get out, strip naked and walk inside the wilderness-themed store.

Chief Irwin tells us that once he was under arrest, Owens kicked one officer in the groin ... and he later kicked in and damaged the back door of their police vehicle.

Hablando de llamar la atención, un hombre está en serios problemas después de desnudarse y saltar a un estanque de Bass Pro Shop, y las imágenes de los horrorizados transeúntes muestran todo el incidente.

Tienes que verlo para creerlo, el hombre ejecutó un salto tipo bala de cañón desde el piso superior de la tienda en Leeds, Alabama este jueves, y la policía dice que el hombre, de 42 años, George Owens, realizó el truco justo antes de la hora de cierre.

Los videos muestran a Owens gritándole algo a los oficiales mientras descaradamente se cuelga del borde, con sus piernas abiertas y todo, y se prepara para su lanzamiento.

A continuación, los policías esposan a Owens, aunque este sigue oponiendo resistencia. Sin embargo, finalmente se calma.

En un momento dado, otro hombre lo cubre con una manta para evitar que los transeúntes lo vean desnudo y la policía se lo lleva boca abajo.

En cuanto a lo que lo motivó a exhibirse de esta forma, el Jefe de Policía, Paul Irwin dice a TMZ, que Owens estaba conduciendo en un carro con 2 miembros de su familia alrededor de las 9 PM cuando chocó contra un poste en el estacionamiento de la tienda.

A partir de ahí, decidió salir, desnudarse y caminar dentro de la tienda de temática salvaje.

El jefe Irwin nos dice que una vez que estuvo bajo arresto, Owens pateó a un oficial en la ingle y más tarde pateó y dañó la puerta trasera de su vehículo policial.

Katt Williams can count on at least one comedic ally after his royal roast of Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer -- "Wild 'N Out" vet Bobb'e J. Thompson cosigns everything Katt's saying!!!

We linked with Bobb'e in Hollywood to discuss Katt's super-viral sit-down on Shannon Sharpe's podcast as the numbers for the nearly 3-hour chitchat breached 15 million views in just a couple of days.

Many comedians and even rappers such as Ludacris and Trick Daddy, took Katt's unfiltered thoughts as fightin' words.

TD suggested he's ready to get physical, as he reminded Katt he's from the streets.

But, Bobb'e tells us there's never any reason to rumble over a joke ... unless you can fight, and he says Katt has no issues in the fisticuffs department. He also doesn't feel like Katt spoke out a turn, especially in the pursuit of being credited for his work.

Katt accused guys like Steve and Ced of stealing his material over the years, and even had damning allegations for Michael Blackson ... claiming the Nigerian accent is faker than everything sold on Canal Street.

Bobb'e worked with both Katt and Michael on "Wild 'N Out" and can't confirm or deny Mike's 24/7 speaking patterns ... but does say tensions will arise if a joke gets stolen on the 'WNO' set.

Una pasajera de Delta se fue en una diatriba de improperios, que incluyó comentarios sobre su período, causando no solo una escena, sino que el vuelo se retrasara en una hora.

Mira a la mujer perdiendo completamente el control en estas imágenes capturadas el lunes en el Aeropuerto Internacional Hartsfield-Jackson en Atlanta. En ellas se ve cómo irrespetuosamente apoda a uno de los miembros del personal como 'estúpida put****' después de que supuestamente fuera expulsada del vuelo con dirección a Rochester, NYC.

La mujer estaba visiblemente enfadada, golpeando repetidamente su bolsa contra el mostrador y exigiendo hablar con el gerente y ordenando que llamasen a la policía.

Después de seguir lanzando groserías descaradamente, la mujer se da la vuelta y le declara a todos que está "en pañales y sangrando" porque es su momento del mes.

Un hombre detrás de ella, entonces, llama su atención y ella da marcha atrás y le ladra: "¡Estoy con la regla! ¿Sabes lo que es un útero? Estúpido idiota, comadreja".

Continúa haciéndole preguntas sobre lo que significa tener un útero hasta que finalmente es llevada afuera por la policía, lo que provocó vítores de otros pasajeros.
