An interview featuring actress Ellen Page blaming President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for the “hate” that led to the hoax attack against Empire star Jussie Smollett has amassed over 16 million views. Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month, the actress took particular aim at Pence over his long-held opposition to same-sex marriage.“The vice president of America wishes I didn’t have the love with my wife,” Ellen Page explained. “If you are in a position of power and you hate people, and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering, what do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused and they’re going to kill themselves, and people are going to be beaten on the street.” The 31-year-old, who came out as a lesbian in 2014, also blasted the media for questioning Smollett’s version … [Read more...] about Ellen Page ‘Late Show’ Interview Blaming Trump and Pence for Jussie Smolett Hate Hoax Has 18 Million Views

Why join pageants? Catriona proves wit in Q&A on New York talk show
Catriona Gray has proven her wit and sincerity in the multiple times she’s tackled the crucial Q&A portion as an aspiring queen, and her latest sit-down interview as the reigning Miss Universe was no exception. The Filipina beauty queen on Tuesday continued her week-long media tour, with her first stop being FOX 5’s “Good Day New York.” Clips and photos of the guest appearance were posted on social media by fans of Gray. Gray, 25, shared a light moment with hosts Rosanna Scotto and Lori Strokes on the topic of her apartment as Miss Universe. Noting a FOX 5 colleague happened to live in the same building, the hosts warned Gray, in jest, that she should hold on to her crown as “wild parties” usually happen there. The Mikomoto crown, which happened to be in the studio, also became the subject of a humorous exchange when Gray offered to fit it on Scotto’s head, much to the host’s delight. The interview, while easy-going, had a number of … [Read more...] about Why join pageants? Catriona proves wit in Q&A on New York talk show
BFM 89.9: As news media looks to tank, a talk radio station is on the verge of expansion
The news media isn’t just in secular decline, it’s in ICU. Malaysia is no exception to this global trend. Nearly two weeks ago, the storied Malay language daily (and a resolute supporter of the former ruling party UMNO), Utusan Malaysia – after hemorrhaging some MYR8 million per month – began slashing its 1,500-strong staff by more than 50%. Conversely, a bubbly English-language, Klang Valley-based talk radio station called BFM 89.9 celebrated its tenth anniversary. It marked its milestone with a move to spanking new, light-filled premises: a virtual hipster nirvana located in the heart of upscale Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, the city’s neighbourhood equivalent of Bangkok’s Soi Thonglor, Manila’s Salcedo or Jakarta’s Senopati. Having started a decade ago with only MYR5 million and less than ten staff, the radio station now employs a dedicated team of over sixty. And it is on the cusp of a national expansion program. How … [Read more...] about BFM 89.9: As news media looks to tank, a talk radio station is on the verge of expansion
Two associates of Trump adviser Stone questioned in Russia probe
(Reuters) - Two associates of Roger Stone, a longtime political adviser of U.S. President Donald Trump, were questioned in the past two days in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election campaign, a lawyer and one of the men said on Friday. Jerome Corsi, a right-wing commentator who contributes to conspiracy theorist websites, was questioned by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors on Thursday but had a planned grand jury appearance for Friday put on hold, Corsi's lawyer said. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Corsi had been subpoenaed. The lawyer, David Gray, declined comment on the content of Thursday's questioning, although he said earlier this week that he and Corsi believed it would be about his communications with Stone, who in recent months has been the subject of scrutiny by Mueller's office. Gray has said Corsi and Stone communicated by phone and email between 2016 and 2018. Investigators appear focused on Stone’s contacts with Wikileaks and … [Read more...] about Two associates of Trump adviser Stone questioned in Russia probe
‘May past kayo ni James Reid?’ Nathalie Hart caught off guard by question
“Sin Island” star Nathalie Hart appeared to be caught off guard by a question involving actor James Reid, with whom she was romantically linked in the past and who now has a high-profile relationship with his onscreen partner, Nadine Lustre. The topic was brought up during Hart’s joint interview with her “Abay Babes” co-star Roxanne Barcelo in the Sunday episode of “Gandang Gabi Vice.” A segment of the comedy talk show had the two actresses reacting to photos of male celebrities. The challenge was to say whether they found each of the actors attractive, or not. Among those shown were JC de Vera, Gerald Anderson, and Barcelo’s former boyfriend, Will Devaughn. When Reid’s photo was shown, Barcelo began teasing Hart, saying, “Iyong totoo na lang.” Vice Ganda was more straightforward. He asked: “May past kayo ni James Reid?” Watch more in iWantv or TFC.tv “Wala,” Hart initially responded, but … [Read more...] about ‘May past kayo ni James Reid?’ Nathalie Hart caught off guard by question
