One of the most unexpected legacies generated by The Simpsons is the repeated insistences in which the creative team have some form of clairvoyancy, with so many real-world events appearing to be predicted well ahead of time by Springfield’s most famous family. With that in mind, it was inevitable that an episode removed from the airwaves in the aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks gave rise to a predictive conspiracy theory, even if it was nothing more than a matter of coincidence and a show of respect. The first episode of the ninth season, ‘The City of New York...

An article published Sunday by the Wall Street Journal revealed a photograph of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates with one of child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims. The photograph shows Gates standing next to an unnamed Polish model who was in her early 20s when Epstein flew her to Seattle on a private jet, where they met with the founder, the WSJ detailed. The event apparently occurred in 2014, years after Epstein’s 2008 registration as a sex offender. The model was also snapped alongside director Woody Allen at Epstein’s private home in Manhattan, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud, and...

Even before the New York State Thruway was built, there was the Red Apple Rest on Route 17 in the Hamlet of Southfields in the Town of Tuxedo. People who remember the iconic restaurant in its heyday stopped by the iconic site to watch the symbolic end of an era, as a portion of the old 1930's restaurant was torn down. "Every time we'd be out doing our thing back in the day, this was our stopping hole to eat," says Morgan Grant, from Suffern. The Orange County landmark was once a thriving business that put the hamlet on the...

A vast trove of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendars and emails are being revealed today by DailyMail.com. The hundreds of pages in the files give an unprecedented insight into the late pedophile's extraordinary network of power and influence. Among the revelations is that Epstein appeared to know personal details about the marriage of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda – while magician David Blaine had numerous dinners with the financier.

VIDEOLife really does imitate art!!! One of the funniest SCTV skits ever was "Play It Again, Bob" in which Woody Allen tries to convince Bob Hope to be directed by him. It was funny because it seemed to be highly unlikely. Or at least it seemed to be unlikely until Woody Allen himself confirmed it during his Instagram interview with Alec Baldwin. Oh, and Woody Allen also expressed a desire to have directed Jerry Lewis. If the SCTV writers had pitched the latter scenario, the producers would have probably nixed it since they already went out on the limb with...

VIDEOIt was supposed to be Alec Baldwin shooting questions at Woody Allen but as you can see in this sneak preview of the interview, it turned out that it was Woody Allen who turned the tables on Baldwin and shot a very uncomfortable question at him.

It’s been months now since it was revealed that CNN’s Chris Cuomo was involved in advising his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, regarding the sexual misconduct allegations that he was facing from multiple women.Yet, CNN did nothing about it when it was announced. They also allowed Chris Cuomo to have his brother on multiple shows, propping him up in the middle of the nursing home scandal and painting him as a great hero of the pandemic with cutesy skits. It violated a basic principle of journalism to do that, but CNN didn’t have a problem with it and...

Chris Cuomo, host of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time, used his media sources to dig up info on his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s, sexual harassment accusers, according to texts and interview transcripts recently revealed. Text messages released by New York Attorney General Letitia James show Chris Cuomo had frequent contact with Melissa DeRosa, Andrew Cuomo’s top aide at the time.

Documents released Monday reveal the CNN host was using his media sources to get intel on his brother Andrew’s accusers, and then funneling information to the then-governor’s top aideChris Cuomo is the host of his own CNN show on which he discusses national political issues. He’s also the brother of Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced former governor of New York who resigned in August in the wake of a damning report detailing several allegations of sexual misconduct. It was a pretty big conflict of interest, especially considering Cuomo the younger was advising his brother on how to weather the scandal. Documents...

Newly-released texts from CNN host Chris Cuomo reveal his friend arranged for Alec Baldwin to post a video in support of his brother Andrew and that he used his media connections to find out about accusers. The text exchanges - released by the New York Attorney General's office Monday - contradict Chris Cuomo's claims that he did not closely advise the disgraced former governor about a dozen sexual harassment allegations leveled against him. In one message, Cuomo said 'his friend' asked actor Alec Baldwin to post commentary online, referencing Baldwin's 14-minute Instagram rant earlier this year where he hit out...

While we see media going to all kinds of Orwellian lengths to defend the failures of Joe Biden, the opposite side of the coin is how much media will spin reality to attack Republicans. Now, we’ve seen bias when it comes to media. But the Washington Post’s Jen Rubin exceeds bias and moves right into outright lunacy with this mad rant at Republicans. First, she falsely claims that the Republican Party has been endorsing violence. But then she gets to the meat of what she wants to say — that the media has to have “rules” for how they treat...

In a 14-minute Instagram video, actor Alec Baldwin lashed out against the “cancel culture” and, without naming names, seemed specifically interested in defending director Woody Allen and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY). Sitting at home in the Hamptons, Baldwin also defended himself against those looking to cancel him for defending Allen and Cuomo. “I do have a few people going at me for defending people who have been accused of crimes… Well, I’m not defending someone who is guilty of something. I’m choosing to defend someone who has not been proven guilty of something,” he said. “What I always fall back...

Actor Alec Baldwin claimed that financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was killed by the Russian state, which Baldwin said is now “in charge of everything” as a result of the Trump presidency. Epstein, who was facing charges of child sex trafficking, was found dead in his cell on Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. The timing of his death, as well as the fact that he had been taken off suicide watch, has fanned multiple conspiracies about whether he was murdered in order to prevent him from ever revealing damaging information on powerful people and...

Alec Baldwin impersonated the accent of his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and claimed, "My wife is from Spain," during an appearance on David Letterman's late-night talk show in 2013, according to an old clip that has surfaced online. Hilaria Baldwin's heritage has faced new scrutiny after she recently confirmed she was born in Massachusetts -- and not Spain, as she had previously claimed. In a 2013 interview with Letterman on CBS's "The Late Show," Baldwin told the host his wife was from Spain, then used a fake accent while impersonating her on the phone with a hairdresser or friend. "My wife...

Hilaria Baldwin and her husband, Alec Baldwin, defended her identity on social media after it was revealed she was born in Boston, Mass., not Spain, as she had previously claimed. The 36-year-old yoga/wellness expert reacted to a tweet over the weekend, which said, "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person." The tweet has since been deleted. Hilaria Baldwin has claimed she was born in Mallorca, Spain, and raised in Boston. She explained on a podcast in April 2020, "I moved here [to America] when I was 19 to go...

The social media sleuth behind Hilaria Baldwin’s stunning Spanish-accent scandal says she fears going public — because Alec Baldwin might beat her up. The woman spoke to the New York Times for its story on the saga involving the popular yoga guru — who was forced to admit this week that she’s just a “white girl” from Boston despite long claiming she was born in Mallorca, Spain and speaking with a questionable accent. But the Twitter denizen talked anonymously, telling the Times “she was scared that Mr. Baldwin … would punch her” if her identity was made public. The “30...

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria Baldwin is responding to accusations she faked her Spanish accent and lied about her heritage for years. The Daily Beast reports a Twitter user named @lenibriscoe shared a long thread raising questions about Hilaria, who claimed she was born in Mallorca, Spain, and has given Spanish names to her five children with Baldwin (Carmen, Rafael Thomas, Leonardo Angel Charles, Romeo Alejandro David and Eduardo Pau Lucas). Tweets include footage of Hilaria’s accent fluctuating, including when she said she couldn’t remember the English word for “cucumber” during a “Today” show appearance, and evidence (including her yearbook and...

Well how on earth did I miss this story? Oh wait, I know: I quit watching anything that even vaguely portended to be news programming. I’ll bet that Fox and Friends covered this little gem ad nauseum all Christmas week. It all started December 21 with a now infamous tweet from somebody using the handle @lenibriscoe: Who the heck is Hilaria you ask, and why should I care? Turns out the ex-dancer, yoga instructor, lifestyle influencer (yeah, that’s a real thing) is the wife of pugnacious actor Alec Baldwin – one of our distinctly superior fellow citizens. Could he possibly...

Hilaria Baldwin is married to Alec Baldwin, the mouthy star who does a terrible impression of Donald Trump for Saturday Night Live. Hilaria, or Hillary Hayward Thomas as she was known growing up in Boston, is on the receiving end of internet sleuths who seem to be out to cancel her for faking a Spanish accent and lying about where she was born. Page Six has the story. Hilaria Baldwin has been forced to defend her fluctuating Spanish accent — and admitted that her name is “Hillary.” The wife of Alec Baldwin took to Instagram Sunday morning after a Twitter...

Ah, Hollywood is at it yet again. This time, we've got Alec Baldwin blaming Trump voters for supposedly bringing American "near moral collapse" because, well, they voted for the guy. This makes them accomplices to evil. Or something. On Monday, Baldwin took to Twitter via his foundation's account in order to go after all those who voted for then-candidate Donald Trump back in 2016. "American democracy has always been a struggle between the misaligned protections of specific freedoms and a raging, at times intoxicating, 12 cylinder economy," he wrote. "It demanded vigilant/consistent regulation, compassion for the disenfranchised, and the periodic...
