    Van Halen only wanted green M&Ms; Mariah Carey demanded a chewing gum valet; J-Lo demanded a newly painted white dressing room; Justin Timberlake demanded door knob cleaners; and then there's Don Lemon. The deposed CNN show host was trying to make his big comeback ala Tucker Carlson with his own show on the X social media platform. His first big "get" was Elon Musk, an interview that was supposed to air in his debut show next week, but will air on YouTube instead. But then Lemon opened his mouth and removed all doubt. Hubris oozed out. Don asked questions in...

    Elon Musk escalated his war of words with former CNN host Don Lemon, comparing him to a spoiled child. “Don “Veruca Salt” Lemon,” Musk posted Friday on X — likening Lemon to the outrageously indulged character in the Roald Dahl classic “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The jab comes hours after The Post reported Lemon had made extravagant demands on Musk as part of a deal to host a talk show on the platform.

    Don Lemon demanded the sun, the moon and the stars from the SpaceX boss – before being unceremoniously dumped this week, The Post has learned. The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire’s social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content, according to a document reviewed by The Post....

    Fired CNN primetime host Don Lemon will reportedly receive approximately $24.5 million as part of a separation deal with the news network nearly a year after his exit. The settlement equals the amount that Lemon, 57, would have been paid had he been allowed to stay on at CNN through the end of his contract three-and-a-half years from the time of his firing, the Wrap reported. Lemon was axed from CNN in April after his brief and tumultuous run as a morning show co-host by then-CEO Chris Licht, who was later booted himself. Lemon’s ouster came just two months after...

    Former CNN host Don Lemon turned heads after revealing that he now watches conservative news, adding that he “cut the cord” on mainstream media outlets. Nearly nine months after his departure from the left-leaning network, Lemon sat for an interview with Puck News for the outlet’s third annual “Guide to Mirth & Merriment.” Lemon, alongside fellow guests Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Waithe, Mickey Drexler, Risa Heller, and Jeffrey Leeds, provided his recommended content in the form of podcasts and shows. Lemon told Puck, that he has “cut the cord” and in a surprising turn, at least two of his favorite content...

    Don Lemon's axing from CNN last week has caused 'arguments' between him and his fiancé Tim Malone - who warned his partner to tone down his behavior on-air before he was fired from the network after 17 years. Lemon, 57, was sensationally sacked by CNN on Monday amid a furious controversy over his 'sexist' and 'misogynistic' behavior - and now, a source has laid bare the toll that his ousting has had on his relationship. DailyMail.com spoke exclusively to a friend of Tim, 39, who said that the scandal has 'definitely been a bump in the road' for the couple...

The Supreme Court, in the seminal Bruen decision, held: once the clear text of the Second Amendment is implicated, the burden falls on the government to prove there were widespread and accepted statutory restraints in history which are very similar to the restraints the government is defending.The law review article by Kopel and Greenlee is the most comprehensive compilation of the laws on ownership and regulation of arms from medieval England through 1900, especially on weapons bans, yet...

    Despite a record number of states legalizing same-sex marriage, Michael Sam coming out and the very real prospect of a film about a gay mathematician taking home the ‘Best Picture’ prize at the 87th annual Academy Awards, 2014 was filled with reminders that the arc for LGBT civil rights is never a straight line.

    Here today – Don tomorrow. The timing had all the makings of a TV farce. Just as newsrooms around the world were scrambling to make sense of the shock ousting of another titan of cable news – namely Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox – Don Lemon took to Twitter on Monday to announce his equally sudden dismissal from CNN, where he'd worked for nearly 17 years. 'I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned,' the 57-year-old TV anchor raged in a blistering statement.

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    In a CNN This Morning segment on Fox's firing of Carlson, repeated mentions were made of an alleged culture of misogyny and sexism at his show. Fair-'n-balanced journalistic standards would have made it incumbent on CNN to discuss serious allegations of sexism and misogyny against its own fired host, Lemon. But not a peep about Lemon's transgressions out of his former co-hosts, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, or from CNN media reporter Sara Fischer. The focus was exclusively on Carlson's alleged misdeeds. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    CNN anchor Don Lemon abruptly ended a segment with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy after a tense back-and-forth about gun rights and black Americans. What happened? During an interview on "CNN This Morning," co-host Poppy Harlow asked Ramaswamy about his speech last week at the NRA convention. In that speech, Ramaswamy connected gun control laws and the campaign to oppress black Americans after the Civil War. We fought a civil war in this country to give black Americans the equal protection under the law that we failed to secure them in 1776. But then, you want to know what happened?...

    Tennessee Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that she hears racist statements “all the time” in the Tennessee State House. Johnson said racism was the reason her two black colleagues, Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled, and she was spared. Co-host Don Lemon said, “You’ve been very in front after the vote last week that you felt race played a role in Jones and Pearson’s removal. But there are some of your Republican colleagues were saying in their estimation that it wasn’t race. That you argued, your attorney argued to the contrary that you...

He's just expressing himself! And if you don't understand how "we" express ourselves, you're a racist! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday on “CNN This Morning” that Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black lawmakers over a gun violence protest inside the state capitol did so because of “racism.” Lemon said, “Look, it’s. They could have done a censure. Right. I think the right question was, why take the most drastic action afterwards? This is exactly what our country was built on. On protesting. Not everyone — protests aren’t perfect. It’s also unconscious bias. It’s racism. It’s a double standard in our society. Obviously, I don’t have to say. I doubt they would have done this to...
