    A petition to remove Donald Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame has received thousands of signatures, but the decision on whether to remove the star is just as controversial as the man whose name is on it. Trump’s star, which he received in 2007, has been destroyed and replaced several times, but no star has ever been permanently removed from the Walk of Fame despite several celebrities’ fall from grace. The man who started the petition to get rid of Trump’s star for good, Andrew Rudick, says that while he has garnered more than 3,800 signatures for his...

    In common speech we tend to use the words glory, honor, famous and fame as interchangeable terms. They share the common ingredient of praise and of an independent audience that judges behavior. Where they differ is as to what that audience is and when the praise is awarded. In the simplest of definitions, glory is associated with God. Honor involves respect from a small group, such as one’s family or fellow professionals in law, sports, writing, broadcasting, etc. Famous people are typically celebrities who enjoy shallow admiration from a wide group. That leaves the quality of fame. In contrast to...

    **SNIP** Even in her hometown of New York City, a candidate she backed for mayor was defeated by the more moderate Eric Adams. The two have developed a fraught relationship, sparring over everything from the city budget and policing to his choice of words when describing some workers as 'low skill.' And the woke congresswoman has also come under fire in the past for wearing a dress to the celebrity-packed Met Gala with the words 'Tax the Rich' scrawled across the back, with some saying it was hypocritical to wear the dress while attending the ultra-exclusive event full of the...

    “I hope they both move on. At their best, they are each incredible,” Musk, who once dated Heard, tweeted Saturday. Musk’s tweet was in response to MIT research scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman who tweeted Friday: “My takeaways from Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial: 1. Fame is one hell of a drug (for some). 2. Psychiatrists & lawyers come in drastically varying levels of skill. 3. Lying to millions of people is something humans are capable of. 4. Love can be messy. 5. Mega pint of wine.”

  • Actors – The Lowest Social Class In Ancient Rome

    ancient-romans ^ | April 7, 2020 | styrman
    Unlike in the progressive modern world where one can become a part of the high-society and idolized by mindless plebs simply by the merit of being a (famous) actor, the ancient Romans had the exact opposite stance. Actors in the Roman world were considered the lowest of the low, being on roughly the same social status as slaves. That the Romans had a low opinion on actors should not come as a surprise, as actors by definition, act. In a society where honesty, merit, personal accomplishments and pursuit of civic virtue were in high regard, it is thus understandable that...

    Larry Birkhead and his 13-year-old daughter Dannielynn Birkhead live a quiet country life out of the Hollywood spotlight. The 46-year-old father has maintained a low-profile for the sake of his only daughter in the 12 years since her mother Anna Nicole Smith's tragic passing from an accidental drug overdose in 2007. In a rare interview with DailyMailTV's Jesse Palmer at their Kentucky home, the Birkheads spoke exclusively about staying out the public eye and how they work to keep Anna Nicole's memory alive.

    A Kentucky man went viral this week after going online to lament the fact that his name is similar to that of Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee who was confirmed after a weeks-long controversy involving multiple allegations of sexual assault. Kentucky's Brett Kavanagh, who spells his name without a "u," told local outlet Louisville Courier Journal that it became increasingly "crazy" having the same name as a man who was at the center of a dramatic nationwide controversy. Kavanagh went viral with a tweet saying "This is a terrible time to be named Brett Kavanagh," which has been "liked"...

    (Below are some excerpts from the article.) THE Jackass crew mesmerised and shocked the world with their hilarious and, at times, truly dangerous stunts. The likes of Johnny Knoxville, born Philip John Clapp Jr, became superstars in the process but it led many of them down a path of alcoholism, drug dependency and even suicidal thoughts. The series showcased wild stunts in a world before iPhones, social media and YouTube, airing for two years and eventually morphing into nine films and four spin-offs. But once the cameras stopped rolling, several of the show’s stars were left severely injured and...

    On Oct. 1, a 64-year-old Nevada man opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers from a high-rise hotel in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds. If you don't know his name, you can easily find it online, in print or on TV. But you won't learn it from this column. Notoriety may have been what he was after in methodically plotting the slaughter. He may have intended to outdo other mass shooters. He may have hoped his name would gain a sinister immortality. University of Alabama criminologist Adam Lankford has explained the repetition of such incidents as a...

    Remember the “Hero Mom of Baltimore” who smacked down her son on the evening news and dragged him out of the Baltimore Riots? (Ed had the video of the interview with her and some early observations on how this wasn’t going to be a panacea for all of society.) It’s been six months since all of that madness unfolded and the Washington Post got to wondering what ever happened to the lady. She seemed to be all over the cable dial for a short while after her fifteen seconds of fame, but then… nothing. She was supposed to be...
