In a new interview with People, Bollea reflected on his grief and said Hogan “was just always so positive, and he was so full of life. It’s almost like disbelief that it happened, because he was just always talking about how grateful he was for that day and excited for the next day and to see the sunrise.” He added: “The hardest part is never being able to fully prepare for something like that.” The 35-year-old explained that as well as being business partners, the pair worked out together and shared a nutritional plan. “There were so many different …

California Lawmakers Introduce The “Stop Nick Shirley Act”

California Lawmakers Introduce The “Stop Nick Shirley Act”

Published by Jenni Sidey

It would appear that independent journalist Nick Shirley’s expose on medical subsidies fraud in California, largely perpetrated by immigrants, was more devastating to Democrats than anyone could have guessed.  After making waves in Minneapolis by revealing rampant daycare fraud run by Somali migrants feeding on millions in government subsidies (and likely funneling some of that cash to Democrat politicians), Nick Shirley traveled to the Golden State only to find more fraud, including voting scams and medical care scams.  🚨 California is the breeding ground for voter fraud in America, as millions of people vote with no ID, month-long election processes, inaccurate voter rolls, dead people caught voting, even a dog successfully registered to vote, and voter verification is all based on your… pic.twitter.com/7nOIZe5x9D — Nick shirley (@nickshirleyy) February 16, 2026 The investigation has apparently led to at least 21 arrests associated with medical fraud just after Shirley published his report, though no official sources have confirmed a direct connection. This brand of taxpayer theft is an ever present problem within blue states where Democrats and …

Celebrity Traitors and Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed: ‘SNL UK is the best thing for British comedy since The Office’

But he reckons he landed the gig hosting the Oliviers, the biggest night in theatre, because of a strong performance elsewhere: The Celebrity Traitors. There, he sleuthed his way to the end, almost taking down eventual winner Alan Carr, before falling at the final hurdle. “I’m sure Celebrity Traitors is one of the biggest, if not the single reason I’m getting to host the Oliviers,” the funnyman tells me. “I could have gone out on day one or two, and then I probably wouldn’t be doing it.” Mohammed is an inspired choice, picking up the mantle from Beverley Knight, Billy Porter, and his Ted Lasso co-star Hannah Waddingham, who hosted in 2023 …

10 Questions with Nick Mohammed

Add the Olivier Awards to your watchlist Comedian, actor, writer and Celebrity Traitors contestant Nick Mohammed will host the Olivier Awards in their 50th year of celebrating the best of British theatre. In our kids’ special he also reveals his go-to childhood TV favourites, why he never thought he’d work in the industry, and whether he’ll be returning in series four of Ted Lasso. Nick, you’re in our kids’ TV special – so what TV did you watch growing up? The Paul Daniels Magic Show, then later Paul Daniels’s Secrets was proper Saturday-night viewing when I was growing up. They had millions of viewers and I’d record them on video to rewatch. I did the same with the David Copperfield specials. I was four years old when I fell in love with magic. My older sister had been given a Paul Daniels magic set, which I effectively stole and loved. Magic was a proper obsession and, to a degree, it still is now. I equally loved all of the old sitcoms; Some Mothers Do ’Ave …

Nick Cannon Calls the Democratic Party ‘the Party of the KKK’

Nick Cannon Calls the Democratic Party ‘the Party of the KKK’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Nick Cannon is getting candid about his political views. The comedian-producer was joined by model Amber Rose on a recent episode of his show, Big Drive, where he called the Democratic Party “the party of the KKK.” After Rose claimed that Democrats “don’t care about Black people, don’t care about people of color and the Republicans do,” Cannon replied, “I agree with you 100 percent.” The Masked Singer host continued, “People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves. I mean, both of you and I have some conservative views. You’re just a little bit more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don’t subscribe to either party. I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.” Rose added that she’s “not married to any party” but voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election because “we had two …

How Nick Fuentes Is Charming the Left

How Nick Fuentes Is Charming the Left

Published by José Betancourt

Nick Fuentes, a 27-year-old white-supremacist influencer, is notorious for a political outlook that he summarizes succinctly: “Jews are running society, women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned, for the most part.” For Ericson Contreras, a left-leaning 23-year-old Afro Hispanic man from New York, Fuentes is not a natural ideological guru. So when Contreras was scrolling Instagram at 3 a.m. recently, he was surprised to find himself served a clip of a Fuentes monologue. More surprising still, Contreras was nodding along. “Trump is better than the Democrats for Israel. For the oil and gas industry. For Silicon Valley. For Wall Street. Is he really better for us? I don’t think so,” Fuentes declared while gazing at the camera in one of these fan-uploaded clips. “Biden made it so that medical debt doesn’t go on your credit report—that was good for me. Biden tried to forgive the student loans—that was good for me.” Retouched in a tasteful black and white, the video featured an orchestral soundtrack that crescendoed as the fast-talking, besuited …

Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas Star in John Carney Movie

Published by Daniella Wilson

Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas‘ professional relationship gets off-key in the trailer for the comedy feature Power Ballad. Lionsgate releases writer-director John Carney‘s movie June 5 following its premiere earlier this month at the Dublin International Film Festival. Jack Reynor and Havana Rose Liu round out the cast. Power Ballad centers on wedding singer Rick (Rudd) connecting with former boy band member Danny (Jonas) as they work on music together. When Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into a career-reviving hit, Rick sets out to get his proper recognition. “I could tell within two minutes of meeting you, you’re not just some boy band guy,” Rudd says in the trailer. This leads Jonas to respond, “And you are too good for that wedding band.” Later, things get tense, with both of them getting bloody as their rift turns physical. Jonas asks, “Do you think it is easy to turn a song into a hit?” Carney (Once, Begin Again) helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Peter McDonald. Carney produces alongside Anthony Bregman, Peter …

Nick Clegg Doesn’t Want to Talk About Superintelligence

Published by skeptic

I think its product has a profound democratizing effect. In theory, a kid sitting in a provincial town in rural Brazil should be able to receive the same responsive interaction with the Efekta AI teacher as someone living in Mayfair. Is anything lost by the introduction of AI to the classroom? Will we end up with a generation of students who use chatbots as a crutch—to draft essays, solve problems, and so on? They’ll do that, anyway. Trying to shut out AI from schools is senseless. It’s about how you incorporate AI into education. Bad teachers will use it badly, and good teachers will use it very well—as they did whiteboards and calculators. But we’re talking about a more fundamental change. I’m asking what it might mean for students not to develop foundational skills. If you go back to the time when calculators were invented, [people thought that] kids are never going to be able to do mental arithmetic. But that didn’t turn out to be the case. It will have an effect, of course. …

Nick Robinson Slams Ed Davey Over Past Prince Andrew Praise

Nick Robinson Slams Ed Davey Over Past Prince Andrew Praise

Published by Sam Flores

Nick Robinson skewered Ed Davey over his past praise for the “excellent job” the then Prince Andrew was doing as the UK’s trade envoy. The Lib Dem leader was left embarrassed during an excruciating grilling on Radio 4′s Today programme. Davey is forcing a vote in the House of Commons today which could force the government to publish all documents relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment and performance as trade envoy. He said: “I think we’ve seen too often in the past that people, because of their title or their friends or whatever, have not been properly held to account. “The rules of the House of Commons have prevented, and Speakers have overseen this over the centuries, prevented MPs from criticising members of the Royal Family and sometimes even mentioning them, and that really seems old fashioned and is the wrong thing to do.” But Robinson told him: “It’s what you did when you were a minister though, isn’t it?” Davey then admitted praising the job the then Prince Andrew did as UK trade envoy during …
