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

Speaking on “Good Morning America,” Gray recalled: “When I was 13, and she first told me, I thought nothing of it. I was young, I didn’t really have that interest in pageants yet, but to see it … [Read more...] about ‘Gorgeous inside and out’: Eloquent Catriona called ‘perfect’ in first US TV interview
