Trump Says a General Praised Him in 2016

“A general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went on to that stage with Hillary Clinton, after what happened. And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said, locker room talk! It’s locker talk! What the hell?! Locker room talk!”

Not giving the General’s name cause it’s obviously not real.

Mamet Bio Spills The Tea

David Mamet’s new memoir “Everywhere An Oink Oink: An Embittered, Dyspeptic, and Accurate Report of Forty Years in Hollywood” is a takedown of the institutional ugliness of Hollywood. “There is no day-to-day satisfaction in production, for producers, like their kind in Washington, produce nothing,” is one example of his scathing look at Hollywood. He also said “The truth is, if you’re hot you don’t need an agent,” he writes, “and if you’re not, the agent doesn’t need you.”

Wouldn’t it be funny if David Mamet took this time to stand up for Israel instead of all the times it didn’t matter so much?

Ali McGraw Pays Tribute to CoStar Ryan ONeal

“He was a skilled actor, charming and funny too. I know that a huge part of my success was due to his generosity as my co-star. “It has been devastating to know just how ill Ryan has been for many years now, and I was not surprised to learn that he had passed away yesterday morning. Thankfully, he was surrounded by his son Patrick and a small group of lifelong, close friends.

“My heart goes out to all four of his children and to the people who loved him most. Ryan and I worked together again several years ago with the road company for “Love Letters.” It was a wonderful experience, and I shall miss him and the fun we shared … and I pray that he will find peace at last.”

Love means you never have to do a tribute.

Cary Grants Daughter Says He Wasnt Gay

Jennifer Grant says the reason she’s never stood up for her father in the face of homophobic criticism is because he wasn’t gay. “Had he been homosexual, I absolutely would’ve stood up for it. He had gay friends and there’s just absolutely nothing to be ashamed of there. But I had to speak the truth, which was I saw a very straight male who watched women, was married to women, had me,” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress continued. “Did he have affairs earlier in life? Perhaps. I don’t know. I wasn’t there to see it. So, I think it might not be a common misconception, but it’s certainly a rumor out there.”

At least not with her.
