Cardi B seems to attract some unusual fans.
The chart-topping artist recently criticized immigration officials during a concert. Honestly, it’s not particularly surprising, right?
you intention Choose a side…and it’s better to be the side we want.
To be fair, she really went for it. Going beyond typical progressive rhetoric, perhaps more than expected. AOC might even approve!
“Damn it! If ICE shows up, I’m ready to jump on them…I’ve got bear mace! They can’t take my fans, damn it!”
When the Department of Homeland Security made light of her comments, she effortlessly countered some common leftist critiques.
“Why isn’t anyone discussing the Epstein file?”
Let’s hope she doesn’t come across any serious criminals that ICE has caught. I mean, really, I doubt Mace will do much against them.

AI A-listers
It’s a showdown between legends in their sixties, Brad Pitt versus Tom Cruise, and it’s all sparked by new AI advancements in Seedance 2.
A viral video showcasing digital versions of these stars made quite the splash online this week. The visuals from the Chinese AI company are striking, though perhaps a bit clumsier compared to other recent digital productions.
While Hollywood titans went head-to-head, it was all done in good fun. However, not everyone appreciated the mock brawl. The film association quickly condemned it, alleging a serious copyright infringement.
The video’s creator, Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson, stated he only needed a couple of lines to create the video. After facing backlash, he responded with rather dark humor.
“Today’s question is: Should I be punished for typing two lines and pressing a button?”
Some in the Hollywood elite might not find that amusing at all…
monkey business
He’s the last living member of the monkey troupe.
Micky Dolenz is gearing up for a tour celebrating the band’s 60th anniversary. Crazy to think that an ad for “four wild boys aged 17 to 21” looking for a Beatles-type sitcom led to a group that remains beloved.
“The Monkees” aired for only two seasons, yet their catchy hits endured. And Dolenz is determined. On a bit of an ego trip, he’s ready to deliver this time. If he’s going to perform, he wants to sing every song—no shortcuts or silly medleys.
He probably should’ve said, “There’s no monkey,” but seriously, after six decades, maybe he’s just tired of that joke…
wit and vigor
you intention Choose a side…and it’s better to be the side we want. Remember when the media pressured Taylor Swift and Jimmy Fallon to take a political stance after years of staying neutral?
That’s part of the Hollywood landscape in 2026. ICE? Nazi! Trump? Hitler 2.0! Voter ID mandates? Jim Crow 2.0!
Then there’s the overarching Israeli-Palestinian situation? That’s just a massacre!
Except Wim Wenders didn’t seem to get the memo. The seasoned director faced praise and criticism at the Berlin Film Festival for discussing this challenging conflict without taking sides, and the festival has yet to issue an official statement.
This well-known director remarked that we don’t play games.
“We are the counterbalance to politics. Our role is different from theirs. Committed political films might lead us into the political arena, but no film has ever really changed a politician’s mind. We’re here to influence how people view their lives instead.”
It makes you wonder how quickly Wenders will become the next “Hitler 3.0” in the eyes of the left and the media.

Kevin James decided against submitting his new romantic comedy “Solo Mio” to the Berlin Film Festival. Still, he seemed to draw inspiration from Wenders.
If you’re curious about his voting choice in the last election, good luck figuring it out.
“When it comes to politics, there are people far more knowledgeable than I,” James states. “I concentrate on what I can do, providing a fun and uplifting escape from this chaotic world. We all have stress to manage, which is kind of a requirement, but we need breaks, too.”
You could say he’s the opposite of Mark Ruffalo. Honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air.
