Boohoo, Melissa.
Actress Melissa Barrera has opened up about her brief Hollywood banishment following horrific comments made after October 7th.
“We've never seen anything like this before in our country. So Americans who don't travel and 80 percent don't have passports and are uneducated are extraordinary naive.”
The “Scream” star seemed to be Hollywood's next “it” girl before taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Because of this, she sacrificed her appearance in “Scream 7”, Drive away some studios.
“It was quiet for about 10 months… I still got offers for small jobs here and there, but I’m not going to lie and say nothing happened. [the message] I was like, “Oh, she probably won't have a job. She'll say yes to everything.” ”
what did she say?She called Israel's counterattack against Hamas “genocide and ethnic cleansing” and suggested that Jews control the media.?
She currently has three new projects in the works. There are also outcasts.

Sorry, “Scream” Queen. We leave our condolences for them…
I'm still not disappointed
Ben Stiller acknowledged that comedians today work in cultural handcuffs.
Granted, cancel culture isn't as strong as it has been in recent years, and the woke virus has been giving body blows lately. Christopher Rufo, Robbie Starbuck and Matt Walsh, take a bow.
Still, comedians must tread carefully when trying to make fun of us. Stiller said, looking back at the famous 2008 comedy “Tropic Thunder.” The film's politically incorrect egregiousness is legendary, including Robert Downey Jr. donning blackface to play a vain actor who wants Oscar fame and fortune.
It's obviously difficult to do edgy comedy in an environment like this. … Obviously not at the scale that we've achieved from a business economics perspective. I think I was lucky to be able to make this work even back then. In fact, I think it's all thanks to Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks. He read it and thought, “Okay, let's make this.” When you think about it, it's a very internal movie.
Of course he's right. Stiller also refuses to publicly apologize for making the film, given the cultural pressures he faces. Recall that in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020, the blackface sitcom episode disappeared into the memory hole.
Still, wouldn't it be a better response to give it another go? Make another smart, satirical, to-the-point, uproarious comedy. Stiller has the clout, celebrity Rolodex and wit to do it.
It's not just about lamenting cultural reprimands. Go against them…
stone cold

Now, let's see if she follows through with her threats. leave the country Under the Trump 2.0 administration. We may lose our third “basic instinct” but somehow we will survive…
Diddy's OJ play
It's the only card he has left.
Sean Combs played Race Card™ in the latest legal maneuver to avoid decades-long prison sentences. The superstar singer, actor and producer faces charges of sex trafficking and extortion as part of an elaborate lifestyle that has been hidden for too long.
Suddenly, his infamous “freak-off” parties and lavish lifestyle come under new and withering scrutiny, and his future looks bleak. There, he accused the defense team of accusing the prosecution of racial motivations.
“The government's argument that children are not entitled to ask children to post birthday wishes on Instagram or to publicly express their opinion that this prosecution is racially motivated is, simply put, “This is an unconstitutional attempt to silence him,” the letter to the court said. On behalf of his legal team.
This could be the test of the new millennium, and it's already taken up a page in OJ Simpson's script…
Isn't it interesting?
