Megyn Kelly Is Mad At HBO Max For Temporarily Removing “Gone With The Wind”
I know we’re used to seeing Megyn Kelly trade in bad faith arguments and body-slamming strawmen, but I dare say, she’s finally using her energy to fight for something real. According to CNN, HBO Max has decided to temporarily remove Gone With The Wind from its streaming service. And based on the level of Megyn’s outrage, I must conclude that HBO also plans on rounding up every single copy of the film, from every other service and also from all the world’s libraries, sending jackbooted men into people’s homes to collect their personal copies on DVD, VHS, laser-disc and hard drive, and hypnotizing every memaw and antebellum aesthete (first they came for Blake Lively, and I said nothing) to erase all memory of the film. And frankly, that’s not the America I want to live in. Yes, GWTW is trash, but what HBO is proposing is taking things too far.
Jimmy Fallon’s Blackface Chris Rock Impression From “SNL” Has Surfaced Again
The internet’s most annoying and misleading hashtag convention, #[fillintheblank]isoverparty, strikes again. Every time I see that hashtag I try to ignore it but know that by the end of the day morbid curiosity will eventually lead me to clicking on it only to be disappointed to find out that [fillintheblank] farted on a kitten or something equally banal. Today it was the end of Jimmy Fallon’s career that was being smugly and gleefully celebrated on Twitter after a 20-year old clip of him doing a Chris Rock impression in full blackface on Saturday Night Live resurfaced. According to The New York Post, the clip was posted with the caption “NBC fired Megyn Kelly for mentioning blackface. Jimmy Fallon performed on NBC in blackface,” which is simply exhausting. With everything going on in #thesesupremelyfuckeduptimes, re-litigating blackface is definitely a party I’m not RSVPing to, I don’t care how socially distanced it is. I’m so very tired.
Just What We Needed! Megyn Kelly Has Additional Thoughts On Blackface
As if our current national discourse in #thesetryingtimes wasn’t breathtakingly stupid enough as it is, Megyn Kelly, America’s least qualified practitioner of critical race theory has come out of retirement to complain loudly about being fired for defending blackface. After Robert Downey Jr. said he didn’t regret doing blackface for Tropic Thunder during an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Megyn #tooktotwitter to bemoan the fact that Universal applauded RDJ for sparking a “necessary convo” but fired her for doing the same. Friends, this shit is so dumb, it’s difficult to even know where to start. Like, I almost want to start by reminding you that, per Megyn’s Twitter bio, her children are named Yates, Yardley, and Thatcher. It’s as relevant as anything Megyn had to say, if not more!
Charlize Theron Says Playing Megyn Kelly Was “Harder” Than Playing Serial Killer Aileen Wuornos
While Joaquin Phoenix is really aiming for that Oscar through his movie Joker, Charlize Theron is playing the game too with Bombshell, the movie where she plays Megyn Kelly. Not only does she look much hotter than Joaquin did in his Joker drag, she also she looks eerily similar to actual Megyn Kelly–like exactly. That shit has Oscar spelled all over it. And to seal the deal ,Charlize is using a new progressive technique to win the award. Instead of going the, “Come on guys, Megyn isn’t that bad!”, route, like Joaquin did with The Joker, she’s decided to tell us how playing an uber-conservative was harder than playing a murderer. Nice choice, Charlize.
Thankfully, There’s No Roger Ailes In The Teaser Trailer For “Bombshell”
The teaser trailer for the other Roger Ailes movie dropped today, and this is the one where John Lithgow slips into creep mode to play Roger during the 2016 Fox News sexual assault scandal. So for those that saw the word Bombshell and thought that Julia Houston finally got her Marilyn Monroe musical made, I’m sorry to get your hopes up.
Megyn Kelly And NBC Finally Settled, And She’s Getting All Her Money
CNN reports that awkward glacier Megyn Kelly and her former employer NBC are officially over and out. Megyn is said to be leaving 30 Rockefeller Plaza with the remainder of her contract intact. This means that she’s ice skating away with a sum total of $69 million (it just HAD to be 69, dammit). Yes, the racially tone-deaf news anchoress and morning talk show bombmaker definitely #gotmoneybitch. Seeing as the rest of us only receive a sad pittance of a severance that’s barely enough to fund the after-dismissal drinking and an escort out the door by an uncomfortable-looking security guard when we’re fired, it’s ok to feel salty, friends.
