Donald Trump lashed out at Howard Kurtz and Karl Rove, two Fox News personalities who have hardly been the president’s fiercest critics.

In fact, Trump’s gripe about Kurtz was that his defense was not vigorous enough.

After apparently watching Kurtz’s Sunday show Media Buzz, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “It is time for Howie Kurtz to retire! Every Woke Anchor in the Business, people that no one watched from CNN, Msdnc, and others, are plastered all over his show, with all really negative and fake statements, and then I am weakly ‘defended’ by Howie and his group (although Ben Domenech has been strong!). The case Howie makes for me is so pathetic that it would be a lot better if he didn’t say anything. Anyway, that’s the way it is!”

Earlier in the day, responding to a post that claimed he was a “hater” of Trump,...

The Argentine Film Academy selected “Kill The Jockey” as the country’s official submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2025 Academy Awards. The dark comedy movie, directed by Luis Ortega, follows a talented but troubled jockey whose dangerous behavior threatens his career and relationship.

“Kill The Jockey” made its debut this year at film festivals in Venice and Toronto. It stars Nahuel Pérez Biscayart as the reckless rider and Úrsula Corberó as his girlfriend Abril. On the day of an important race, the jockey suffers a bad accident and disappears from the hospital. He then roams the streets of Buenos Aires while evading a mobster named Sirena, played by Daniel Gimenez Cacho.

Biscayart and Corberó are internationally known actors. Biscayart appeared in well-reviewed movies like “120 Beats per Minute” and “My New Friends.” Corberó gained fame on the Netflix series “Money Heist” and will star in an upcoming Sky show.

Argentina’s National Academy has selected Kill The Jockey (El Jockey) as the country’s submission in the best international feature film Oscar category.

Exclusive: Ghost Of John McCain, the new, upcoming Off Broadway musical satire that finds the late Senator in a very, very strange heaven, has found its cast for characters that include McCain, Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s brain and the just-added Kamala Harris.

An example: Luke Kolbe Mannikus, a handsomely baby-faced recent college grad with no fewer than three Broadway credits since his fairly recent childhood a decade ago, will play Donald Trump.

Jason Tam, who played the apostle Peter in the hit NBC Live event Jesus Christ Superstar, and starred in Broadway’s Be More Chill, will play John McCain, and Aaron Michael Ray (The Public Theater’s acclaimed The Low Road), will play Donald Trump’s Brain.

And reflecting swift-moving real-world developments, Zonya Love has just been added to the cast as Kamala Harris.

Producers of the upcoming musical comedy Ghost Of John McCain have responded to angry comments made by the late senator’s daughter Meghan McCain, saying that they will again extend an invitation to Meghan and husband Ben Domenech to attend a reading of the musical before it opens Off Broadway this fall.

“We think they will love it, just as audiences have to date,” said producers Jason Rose and Max Fose in a statement responding to tweets made by Meghan McCain earlier this week in which she called the musical – which she apparently has not seen – “trash” and “a gross cash grab by mediocre desperate people.”

As Deadline reported Tuesday, Ghost of John McCain, a musical comedy set inside the brain of Donald Trump, will make its world premiere Off Broadway this fall. The musical, written by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola and produced by a team that includes political...

Turning Point USA — the far-right, Christian nationalist group run by Charlie Kirk — is kicking off its annual AmericaFest in Phoenix on Saturday. Tpusa bills AmericaFest as a bash for “like-minded” conservatives to celebrate “the greatest country in the world, America.”

But in addition to patriotism, many of the gala’s headliners appear to be of like mind about something much darker: a distrust, distaste, or outright hatred of Jewish people. The celebration comes on the heels of Kirk himself having been called out by prominent conservatives for creating “an anti-Semite problem” for the right.

Meghan McCain is getting real about that super awkward 2019 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

She shared her true feelings about Seth Meyers with her guest, Senator Ted Cruz.

“Speaking of late-night stuff, I went on Seth Meyers and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, truly,” Meghan said on her show.

She added, “My husband (Ben Domenech) tweeted that the only reason he had a show was that he gargled [Late Night executive producer] Lorne Michaels‘ b-lls. It was a horrific experience, and he can go to hell forever.”

During Meghan‘s interview on Late Night, she and Seth discussed Congresswoman Ilhan Omar‘s 2019 comments about Israel, and things got tense fast.

Sunny Hostin is reacting to the fiery column former The View co-host Meghan McCain posted airing out her grievances from her time on the daytime talk show.

While promoting her new book Summer on the Bluffs: A Novel on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, a fan asked Hostin for her thoughts on McCain’s column.

“Oh, let me take a drink. Um, what can I say? I have not read the column. I have heard about it, and our show is a wonderful place,” Hostin said. “We’re the No. 1 talk show in the country, I’m happy to say. I’m surprised that she’s writing about the book.”

She continued, “I know her husband [Ben Domenech] likes to mean-tweet about me, which is shocking, but Meghan and I have always been friendly, we remain friends, and I don’t think she’s doing television anymore.”

Meghan McCain is passing on a popular weight loss shot. In a new column for DailyMail.com, the 38-year-old conservative pundit claims she’s being “urged” to take Ozempic just one month after welcoming her second child.

As McCain explains in her column, Ozempic has been prescribed to people with diabetes to help control blood sugar. More recently, it’s made headlines for its weight loss effect.

“I understand some people legitimately struggle with obesity and need Ozempic. But I am not one of those people. Which is why I have been really astonished by how many, from casual friends to industry acquaintances, have brought it up with me,” McCain writes. “I’m told ‘everyone is doing it,’ as if that was ever a compelling case. I hear ‘just take the shot’, as it has become known in shorthand. I was even offered a black-market freebie by someone with ‘extra shots at home.

Madrid — Selected for this year’s Cannes Atelier, Felipe Gálvez’s Chilean Western “The Settlers,” one of the most buzzed-up projects to come out of Chile in recent years, has attracted three of the most successful production partners currently working in Latin America: Argentina’s Rei Cine, Denmark’s Snowglobe and France’s Cine-Sud Promotion.

Sen. John McCain has been hospitalized to treat side effects related to his cancer therapy.

The Arizona senator, 81, is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, for “normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy,” according to a statement released by his office on Wednesday.

Written and directed by Lucrecia Martel, the Argentine auteur behind La Cineaga and The Headless Woman, Zama is the long-awaited adaptation of Antonio Di Benedetto’s classic of Latin American modernism.

Zama transports us to a remote corner of 18th-century South America where Zama, a servant of the Spanish crown, slowly loses his grip on reality. Zama brings a 21st century perspective to bear on the history of colonial catastrophe in the Americas. Marooned in an a colonial outpost, the titular Don Diego De Zama (a soulful yet funny Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Bad Education, Y Tu Mama narrator, Arrancame la vida) waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious post.

Martel, in a perfect coupling of literary source material and cinematic sensibility, renders Zama’s world as both absurd and mysterious as he succumbs more and more to lust, paranoia and a creeping disorientation. A fever dream, the...

The food at Meghan McCain’s wedding was pretty wild, literally.

For her Nov. 21 nuptials to conservative pundit Ben Domenech at the McCain family ranch in Cornville, Arizona, the co-host of The View chose a spread made up of wild game to cater to her father Sen. John McCain‘s tastes.

“The menu was something primarily that Meghan wanted to reflect not only where we are at up here, but really geared it a great deal to her dad so he would enjoy the menu,” Meghan’s mom Cindy McCain tells People in this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday.

She said yes to the dress and nothing was going to change her mind — even one of the biggest scandals of the year.

Meghan McCain, The View co-host and daughter of Sen. John McCain, married conservative pundit Ben Domenech last week wearing her dream Marchesa wedding dress. And even though the brand got wrapped up in the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal a month before the wedding (co-designer Georgina Chapman was married to the disgraced movie mogul for 10 years), McCain maintains that dropping the designer never even crossed her mind.

“The scandal erupted and everybody was like, are you going to keep the dress?...

Senator John McCain says seeing his daughter Meghan McCain marry Ben Domenech on Nov. 21 at the family’s ranch in Cornville, Arizona, was a dream come true.

“The thing in life you want more than anything else is for your kids to be happy,” the Senator tells People exclusively in its new issue, on stands Friday. “And I’m confident that she will be. It was really a wonderful day.”

But the wedding, which the Senator says was “a celebration of life and a chance to revisit and celebrate the past,” came at a tough time for the family.

In July,...
