Late-Night Hosts Collude to Scoff at Donald Trump
NO COLLUSION, huh, Donald Trump?
WITCH HUNT, really, Donald Trump?
Conan O"Brien, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have teamed up to prove the President of the United States wrong.
In a very unusual move, these three late-night talk show hosts came together on Tuesday night to record a shared video that opened each of their programs.
After Trump singled out these comedians during a rally in South Carolina, O"Brien, Colbert and Fallon united to make fun of the Commander-in-Chief.
In the footage above, Colbert FaceTimes at first with Fallon over the computer, referring to his television competitor as a "lost soul," to which Fallon slams Colbert as a "low life."
These are the insults, of course, used by Trump in regard to these stars at his aforementioned rally.
"[I] heard he said some pretty bad stuff about us," Fallon says to Colbert at one point in this clip, prior to the hosts adding O"Brien to their call.
But Conan is shaving and acts shocked that Trump is actually the President. (Join the club, man,. Join the club.)
This unprecedented move by these hosts followed a mini Twitter feud Fallon found himself engaged in with Trump.
After the President learned that Fallon regretted tussling then-candidate Trump"s hair during a Tonight Show appearance in September of 2016, The Donald told Jimmy to "be a man" and quit "whimpering," adding that Fallon called him after this appearance and the two talked about that show"s huge ratings.
In response, Fallon first donated to an organization in Texas that seems to reunite immigrant parents with their stolen kids.
He then said Trump never called him, is therefore a giant liar, and expressed shock that he was in such a feud to begin with.
(Seriously, Jimmy Fallon spends every episode trying NOT to get into any feuds with anyone. He entire professional goal each and everyday is to be as innocent and harmless and jovial as one can be.)
So this is where we now are, folks.
Donald Trump claimed he would bring people together as President and he has managed to actually keep this promise.
We just didn"t realize he meant those people would be quasi rivals Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O"Brien.
Check out their mutual and hilarious cold open above.

14 Talk Show Hosts Who Should Never Talk Again
Some talk show hosts out there are funny (see Colbert, Stephen).
Other talk show hosts out there are viral sensations, with sharp political opinions (see Kimmel, Jimmy).
And then some other talk show hosts out there are simply obnoxious and annoying and we wish they"d shut up already.
This is a rundown of those in the latter category…
1. Wendy Williams
The worst of the worst. She will say anything to make a headline, offering up baseless opinions and saying them in some sassy manner just to stir up controversy and make herself seem relevant. Wendy Williams is despicable.
2. Nancy Grace
She has never met a tragic story that she did not exploit for ratings and attention.
3. Dr. Phil
Dr. Phil doesn’t care if your cheating husband left you for your best friend while you were dying of cancer. It’s ALL YOUR FAULT!
4. Matt Lauer
Have you read those reports about how all Today show staffers hate him? It just sounds like he’s really mean. (UPDATE: Lauer has been fired for sexual misconduct.)
5. Joy Behar
It’s just… shouldn’t the funny panelist on The View actually be funny?!?
6. Ed Schultz
STOP YELLING AT US!!!! It’s sometimes helpful to talk in an even tone when you want to get a point across.

Jemele Hill: SportsCenter Host"s Suspension Creates Uproar for ESPN!
Just after 3pm today, ESPN released a statement on the two-week suspension of SportsCenter host Jemele Hill.
It is not going over well.
To understand why she was suspended and also why the outcry over it is so powerful, you need to see the tweet that started it all.
ESPN tweeted out their statement on Jemele’s suspension:
“Jemele Hill has been suspended for two weeks for a second violation of our social media guidelines.”
A second, you say?
The statement continues with the formal version of “we warned her about this.”
“She previously acknowledged letting her colleagues and company down with an impulsive tweet. In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such actions would have consequences. Hence this action.”
First of all, we wish that the US Federal Government worked like this, in that politicians could get suspended (or potentially fired) for outrageously inflammatory tweets.
But second of all … this message doesn’t make any sense once you see what Jemele actually tweeted.
Obviously, everyone’s first question was: “What did she tweet?”
ESPN spokesperson Josh Krulewitz answered.
As it turns out, Jemele engaged a couple of times in threads on Twitter about a potential boycott of companies that advertise with the Dallas Cowboys.
These were threads in which people were asking what they could do, aside from simply stopping watching Cowboys games, to express their ire and frustration over Jerry Jones’ recent statements (which we’ll get to in a moment).
Quoting one tweet from such a thread, Jemele tweeted:
“This play always works. Change happens when advertisers are impacted. If you feel strongly about JJ’s statement, boycott his advertisers.”
She also tweeted, quoting a Twitter user who was concerned that not enough people in Dallas would be willing to boycott Cowboy games:
“Or, how about not patronizing the advertisers who support the Cowboys? You can watch and do that, right?”
Note that she wasn’t encouraging a boycott of ESPN or even encouraging a boycott of the games, which she clarified in another tweet.
“Just so we’re clear: I’m not advocating a NFL boycott. But an unfair burden has been put on players in Dallas & Miami w/ anthem directives.”
She was literally just advising people on what is and is not effective in terms of making their voices heard against Jerry Jones.
Jerry Jones is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, which is a football team.
Jerry has promised to bench any player who “disrespects the flag.”
While in real life that might mean burning a flag or stomping on it or wearing one of those redneck flag shirts, in Jerry Jones’ mind, it means kneeling silently during the National Anthem in protest against the killings of unarmed black Americans by police.
Obviously, Jerry Jones’ statement is deeply controversial. To many, it puts players in an impossible position — do they get fired for their beliefs, or do they sell out?
At a time when Vice President Mike Pence pulled a ridiculous stunt by flying out to a game, waiting until players knelt during the Anthem, and then leaving in a planned huff because they’d knelt.
Not only was this the goal from the beginning, but it cost taxpapers more than $ 200,000. All wasted for a gimmick.
Oh, and by leaving, Mike Pence was protesting … which is literally exactly what he apparently can’t stand about the football players.
Political polarization and the omnipresence of social media combine to make a lot of employees and employers nervous about tweets.
But while there are absolutely some warnings and suspensions that sound warranted, this one in particular has fans in shock.
It appears that ESPN’s role as a sports news broadcaster is in conflict with its role as a sports broadcasting partner.
The latter could lose out if there’s a boycott of any kind. The former, on the other hand, has an obligation to talk about all aspects of sports.
ESPN needs to figure out its priorities, but more urgently, they need to reinstate Jemele Hill.
Jemele, in the mean time, is getting her social media accounts bombarded by various MAGA trolls who accuse her of being a “black supremacist,” among other things that we couldn’t possibly repeat.
That’s quite a way to add insult to injury.

Fixer Upper Hosts Align with Target, Earn Ire of Christians
By their own account, Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines are not breaking up.
The beloved husband and wife, who are about to embark on their fifth season as co-hosts of HGTV’s Fixer Upper, shot down divorce rumors this week.
However, simply because all is well between Chip and Joanna, this doesn’t mean all is well between Chip, Joanna… and a handful of their fans.
Earlier this week, the reality stars announced that they’ve developed a home decor collection called “Hearth and Hand with Magonia” that will go on sale in Target stores across the country, beginning on November 5.
Wrote Chip as a caption to the above photo:
“Jo has poured her heart and soul into this new line, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia available at Target November 5th.
“We’re here with Bullseye at Target HQ today announcing it to all of their team members!”
Pretty exciting, right? A pretty cool next step for the home renovator and designer, right?
WRONG, according to many critics.
Because Chip and Joanna are known as evangelical Christians, and because Target allows transgender employees and customers to use restrooms and fitting rooms that best align with their gender identity, some Internet users think the couple ought to rethink this partnerships.
They’re total hypocrites, if not, argue these viewers.
“Why are u using Target?I thought youll were Christians.My friends & thousands of others r boycotting them because of their bathroom policies,” wrote one Twitter person, while others have added takes such as the following:
And here is what a couple Facebook followers wrote on the couple’s official page:
– As much as I love Chip and Joanna, not even their product will get me to shop at Target again. Sorry, I’ll look for another place to buy your product.
– Why would you sell at Target when so many wonderful shops would love to have your merchandise?
Sorry I won’t be able to buy it, haven’t set foot in there since they announced either gender can use dressing rooms and bathrooms.
The topic of Chip and Joanna’s religion has come up in the past.
They got into hot water last year after it was revealed that their pastor did not believe in gay marriage.
Neither Chip nor Joanna ever spoke on this subject themselves, not directly, but Chip did Tweet the following in response to the uproar:
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. DO EVERYTHING IN LOVE.
“U know.. even as all hell ‘appears’ to be breaking loose. All I have to do is look at my 4 precious babies sleeping, or kiss Jo good morning and at least at that moment, at my house, all is right with the world.”
In this case, the stars have once again avoided the topic of religion or faith when discussing their Target deal.
“Despite our initial insecurities about partnering with a large retailer, Target has exceeded our expectations every step of the way,” Chip said on Tuesday, concluding:
“With our friends, our family and with the people we do business with, we are serious about continually finding common ground. We are thankful to get to work side by side with the people at Target.
“We believe we are going to build something really beautiful together and that our positive impact will be far greater now than it would ever be apart.”

Anita and Ken Corsini: Meet the Hosts of Flip or Flop Atlanta!
As previously reported, HGTV isn’t just doubling down on Flip or Flop.
It is quintupling down on the real estate-themed series, having ordered five spinoffs of the franchise this past March.
The show has already been a ratings winner for the cable network, but the divorce of original hosts Tarek and Christina El Moussa has actually caused it to surge in popularity over the past few months.
As a result, HGTV wasn’t content with merely giving Tarek and Christina more episodes.
Executives also announced that versions of the series – which features a couple that purchases dilapidated homes, fixes them up and then tries to sell them for a profit – would air down the line in Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Fort Worth and Las Vegas.
And Flip or Flop: Atlanta is set to premiere on Thursday, July 20 at 9/8c.
The spinoff will star Anita and Ken Corsini, a husband and wife who are and co-founders of the company Red Barn Homes.
“It’s a huge honor to be part of an established franchise,” Ken tells Entertainment Tonight. “It seemed like such a long shot. I don’t think either of us really thought this would happen.”
Flip or Flop debuted in 2013.
It now ranks as HGTV’s second-highest rated series.
But while the premise is easy to digest and oddly fascinating to watch play out, the success of these spinoffs will mostly be due to the personalities and stories of their hosts.
Fixer Upper, for example, is everyone’s favorite HGTV program because Chip and Joanna Gaines have natural and hilarious chemistry as the parents of four kids.
This is why producers have high hopes for Flip or Flop: Atlanta.
Anita worked as a high school math teacher before starting a family with Ken.
She’s the type of host to whom viewers will likely gravitate.
“We were expecting our first child, and Ken had been working in real estate for that year, so before I had that baby, he asked me, ‘Why don’t you get your real estate license and join me?"” she explains to ET.
“We just decided to take the plunge together and make it a family business, and that way we were home and around our baby and it kind of bettered our schedules.”
The couple says it has never met Tarek or Christina (below).
But they are obviously aware that their relationship has fallen apart.
Is this a cause for worry?
Are the Corsinis afraid that the glare of the spotlight will ruin their bond?
“To be honest, it’s never been a concern. We take our marriage very seriously,” Ken said of their 17-year union, adding:
“We’re very intentional about keeping a healthy marriage and staying close to each other and having a really tight-knit family. I don’t believe that the show is going to change that.”
Anita agrees.
“We genuinely love each other and have fun together, so it was really a fun opportunity for us as a couple to be able to embark on this,” she says.

Beyonce Hosts Festive Push Party: See the Photos!
According to a semi-reliable source, Beyonce is due to give birth in the near future.
And, as any new parent will tell you, this means the singer and her famous husband won’t exactly be out and about any time soon after their twins enter the world.
They’ll be busy changing diapers, fixing bottles and trying to get in some sleep whenever possible.
Therefore, prior to welcoming a pair of siblings for daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce and Jay Z hosted the “Carter Push Party” on Sunday night, which explains their absence from the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.
And while various details remain scarce, the singer did provide fans with three photographic updates from the festivities.
The first we’ve shared above.
The second features Bey and Jay in some festive attire, a Henna tattoo etched across Beyonce’s very impressive baby bump.
The third photo is similar to the second; it gives fans a fun look at arguably the most powerful couple in all of Hollywood.
Beyonce doesn’t look all that angry about Amber Rose insinuating that she slept with Jay Z, does she?
In typical Queen Bey fashion, the artist did not include any captions with these images.
We can tell she’s happy, but we don’t know exactly what she’s thinking while dancing and just hanging out, waiting to become a mother once again.
We don’t even know who else was in attendance at the event… which is why we’re grateful to Tina Knowles!
Beyonce’s mother was on hand to document the gathering, posing at one point with LaLa Anthony, for example.
“This woman gets more beautiful every time i see her!! Hotttness personified!!” Tina wrote as a caption to the following snapshot.
Former Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were also in attendance, as was a glowing and pregnant Serena Williams.
Beyonce, of course, announced she was pregnant back on February 1.
She hasn’t said much else in public since then, remaining mum on such topics as the twins’ gender, her due date and basically everything else related to the miraculous development.
But the superstar has at least kept fans satisfied by often sharing pictures of her growing baby bump, giving followers at least some glimpse into her life these days.
To wit:
In making their major announcement, Beyonce and Jay Z wrote a few months ago:
“We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters.”
An anxious world now awaits confirmation of the babies’ arrival
Until then, we’ll continue to speculate on what the kids may be named…

Melissa McCarthy Hosts Saturday Night Live: Watch Sean Spicer Make Out with Donald Trump!
Melissa McCarthy is just the best. Really, just an amazingly funny, top-notch human being.
We"ve seen it in interviews, we"ve seen it in her movies, and most recently we"ve been seeing it in her appearances on Saturday Night Live.
For the past few months now, Melissa has been making guest appearances on Satuday Night Live to do her incredible impersonation of Sean Spicer, White House press secretary.
But last night, she hosted the show. And that means that her Spicer skit was out of this world.
At the beginning of the skit, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is filling in for Spicer while he — wait for it — hides in the bushes outside.
It"s already beautiful.
He"s asked questions about the Comey firing and the Russia investigation, which, as you can imagine, he doesn"t handle with much patience.
"Let me just put this whole Russian thing to bed, once and for all," he finally yells. "Trump is innocent. How do we know? Because he told us so. Period."
It"s easy to forget that this is satire, isn"t it?
Finally, reporters ask Spicer about rumors that Trump plans on firing him and hiring Sarah in his place. And poor Spicey … he doesn"t handle it well.
And that"s how we came to have footage of Melissa McCarthy dressed as Sean Spicer, roaming the streets of New York City on the White House podium, looking for Trump.
When the president is finally found at a golf course in New Jersey, the conversation gets heated fast.
Spicer says that he doesn"t think he can do the job anymore, and Trump tries to convince him to stay, finally asking him to kiss him.
"I can"t," Spicer objects, "I have a wife, I took vows."
But Trump — good ol" Trump — tells him "I"m famous, it"s OK."
And so Melissa as Spicer and Alec Baldwin as Trump make out. Hard.
Watch it all go down in the clip below:
