Bill Burr Told A Trump Joke That Kimmel Pointed Out Might Get Earn Him A Knock On The Door From The Secret Service

Last month, Bill Burr ticked off the MAGA crowd thanks to his wife flipping off Donald Trump at a UFC fight, prompting the comedian to mock the right for being overly sensitive snowflakes. On Tuesday night, Burr took aim at both sides of the aisle during a visit on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and some of his remarks may raise an eyebrow or two at the Secret Service.

As the conversation turned to politics, Burr first blasted liberals and Kimmel for making Trump a “martyr.”

“You want to see a great case on narcissism? Liberals are so f*cking stupid the way that they handled Trump.” Burr said. When Kimmel asked him to elaborate, the comedian shot back, “You should shut up! He’s a narcissist!”

Via The Daily Beast:

“I think he was a one-hit wonder, right?” Burr continued. “He wrote ‘The Twist’ and that was it, he was on the casino circuit and you idiot liberals wrote him ‘Twist Again’ when you indicted him and now he’s a martyr. And he’s coming back, Jimmy, it’s going to be great for comedy!”

Burr then made it clear that he’s not a fan of either presumptive nominee for both parties.

“I want somebody in their forties, somebody that’s going to have to live with their decisions,” Burr said. “With any luck, they’ll both die of natural causes before the election and maybe we can get somebody that still has something to live for.”

“Wow, this year you’re not going to get a visit from Santa but you are going to get a visit from the Secret Service,” Kimmel joked.

Who Choreographed Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour?’

Taylor Swift was unveiled today as Time‘s Person Of The Year for 2023. During her cover interview, she touches on everything from the journey of her career, re-recording her albums, and her personal life.

At one point, Swift goes into the preparation she needed ahead of her massive The Eras Tour — where she performs for over three hours at each show. She also revealed how she landed on the tour’s choreographer.

Who Choreographed Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour?

Swift used choreographer Mandy Moore (not the actress) as the leading guide for The Eras Tour. The suggestion came from Swift’s friend, Emma Stone, who has worked with Moore previously on La La Land. “Learning choreography is not my strong suit,” Swift admitted.

“I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought,” she also shared.

Swift did three months of dance training, along with a gym routine that started six months before the tour kicked off. “Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud,” she added. “Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.”

The results paid off, as Swift relies on choreography heavily for the performances of “Vigilante Sh*t,” “Mastermind,” and more.

Ryan Reynolds Is Urging People To Stop Sharing Set Photos From ‘Deadpool 3’

Deadpool
20th Century

Deadpool 3 is one of the most anticipated big-budget movies of 2024, along with Dune: Part Two and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. But unlike those films, the Merc with a Mouth’s first official adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been plagued by people (and the paparazzi, who do not count as people) taking grainy photos of muscular men in tight costumes.

Ryan Reynolds really would like them to stop doing that.

“Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies,” the Deadpool actor wrote in an Instagram Story. “It’s important for us to shoot the new DEADPOOL film in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone.”

Reynolds is hoping “some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready. The film is built for audience joy – and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket.” He added, “I love making this movie.”

It’s simple: if you don’t want every movie to look like it was filmed in an abandoned mall or airplane hangar, please don’t take or share set photos.

Deadpool 3 comes out on July 26, 2024.

Natalie Portman Shares The Weird Question King Charles Asked Her At The ‘Star Wars’ Premiere

LUCASFILM

The best place to gossip about celebrities and various royals is when you are watching TV with your friends, which is why Watch What Happens Live is a perfectly chaotic place to bring random celebrities to the hot seat with Andy Cohen, who does not beat around the bush, even when he should.

Natalie Portman was on the show when she shared that a certain Royal is not up to date with his Star Wars lore. How embarrassing for him! Portman starred in 1999’s Phantom Menace, and she met (now) King Charles III at the London premiere of the film. Charles would have been a 51-year-old man at the time, well within the target demographic for a space adventure. But he was also a Royal, so he likely didn’t know much about the franchise.

“I remember Prince Charles — he was then Prince Charles — asked me if I was in the originals,” Portman said, before reminding him she was barely alive when Return of the Jedi hit theaters in 1983. “I was like, ‘I’m 18,’ ‘ Portman laughed. “But he was very friendly.” He is known for being quite a normal person.

On the bright side? Portman also opened up the possibility of returning as Padme. “No one has asked me,” she said, adding. “But I’m open to it.” Let’s bring the whole gang back together!

Apple TV+’s ‘Masters Of The Air’ Trailer Takes The Bloody Hundredth Into Breathtaking (And Bloody) Battle

Masters Of The Air
Apple TV+

There’s a heck of a (sobering) pickup line around 0:55 in the new trailer for Masters Of The Air: “You might be the last pretty face I ever see.”

Apple TV+ sure lets it rip with this look at their latest WWII series from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. This show, of course, follows 2001’s Band Of Brothers and 2010’s The Pacific. This time, America’s Boys fly straight towards Hitler while the show adapts Donald L. Miller’s book, Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.

As you can see, this trailer soars into both glory and devastation with battle scenes filled with aerial bombardments. We hear Austin Butler halt his Elvis voice to lead the Bloody Hundredth (i.e. the 100th Bomb Group) as Major Gale Clevin, and there’s Barry Keoghan as Lt. Curtis Biddick. (That might be a jarring sight considering Keoghan’s most recent role that freaked out a bunch of theatergoers, but suspend your disbelief, please.) Branden Cook, Ncuti Gatwa, Nate Mann, Anthony Boyle, Rafferty Law, and Josiah Cross co-star, and together, they will experience the most elevated of highs. However, this trailer also dives into the lows experienced by America’s airmen. From the synopsis:

Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

Apple TV+’s Masters Of The Air streams on January 26, 2024.

Why ‘Time’ Chose Taylor Swift As The 2023 Person Of The Year

Time revealed that Taylor Swift is the 2023 recipient of their Person Of The Year, complete with a full cover story where the pop star discusses her decades-long career and her new relationship with football star Travis Kelce. Swift had been in the running alongside Barbie, Hollywood Strikers, King Charles, and more. Here’s what to know about why Time ultimately picked her.

Why Did Time Choose Taylor Swift As The 2023 Person Of The Year?

As the magazine points out, it was practically impossible not to be aware of Swift’s massive impact across the globe — which is why she’s the first solo musician on the cover. After kicking off The Eras Tour in March, she performed at shows worldwide for over three hours at a time. Her concert film also marked a unique deal, cutting out streaming and distributing the movie through AMC Theaters.

Swift had three No. 1 records this year, adding to her total of being the woman with the most. She encouraged fans to register to vote. She also became a billionaire this year. Back in 2017, Swift had previously been featured among “The Silence Breakers” as the Time‘s Person Of The Year pick, where she spoke about harassment and assault.

“For building a world of her own that made a place for so many, for spinning her story into a global legend, for bringing joy to a society desperately in need of it, Taylor Swift is TIME‘s 2023 Person of the Year,” the publication concludes.

Basically, Swift took over the news nearly every day this year, which is what led to her being selected.

When Did Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Start Dating?

Taylor Swift is officially Time‘s Person Of The Year. It was a hell of a year, which saw her embark on her critically acclaimed Eras Tour, re-record and re-release Speak Now and 1989, and begin dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The news of Swift and Kelce seemed to arrive rather suddenly, which led to Swifties sharing theories as to when their romance began.

When did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce start dating?

Swift revealed that she and Kelce began dating around the time Kelce shared on his New Heights podcast that he had attempted to give her a friendship bracelet during one of the stops of her Eras Tour. Kelce, however, was unable to talk to Swift before or after the show, as Swift prefers to save her voice for the 44 songs in her setlist.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said in her new Time cover story. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

The episode aired in late July, just weeks before the NFL season kick-off, and weeks before the two officially went public. It’s safe to say their secrecy worked out all too well.

Football Fan Taylor Swift Doesn’t Seem To Care If She’s ‘Pissing Off A Few Dads, Brads, And Chads’ At Travis Kelce’s NFL Games

As NFL fans have surely noticed, Taylor Swift has popped up at a number of Kansas City Chiefs games this season, to support Travis Kelce. It turns out she’s become a real fan of the game: The newly minted Time 2023 Person Of The Year said in her cover story, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

Of course, though, some football fans just trying to watch the game have been annoyed by broadcasts focusing on the pop star in attendance. That doesn’t seem to bother Swift in the slightest, though.

In her Time interview, Swift spoke about how TV broadcasts of games have been covering her, saying, “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the-camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

She added, “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Swift also talked about the origins of her and Kelce’s relationship and her first NFL game, saying, “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Taylor Swift Declares She And Travis Kelce Are Officially A ‘Couple’ (And Have Been For A While Now, Actually)

Travis Kelce Taylor Swift 2023

Taylor Swift just received one of the biggest honors in all of legacy print media: Today (December 6), Time named her their 2023 “Person Of The Year.” As part of a new cover story, Swift spoke some about her relationship with Travis Kelce, filling in some previously unknown details about their origins.

For one, she and Kelce are officially a “couple,” and they’ve been involved for longer than most people probably think. She explained:

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date. […]

When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care. The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

Swift, by the way, is really into football now: “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

She also spoke about how the media covers her when she turns up to Kelce’s NFL games, saying, “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. […] I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
