🔥🚨HARD NEWS: Here is lost footage of Donald Trump’s 2004 SNl Sketch titled “Donald Trump’s House of Wings.” This sketch is still missing from all SNL DVDs and streams.
In Rain Man (1988), Dustin Hoffman accidentally farted during the phone booth scene. The moment was unscripted, and both Hoffman's and Tom Cruise's reactions were improvised.
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
and to think we only got this beautiful scene because rob reiner met his future wife during when harry met sally’s production and fell so in love that he changed the ending so harry and sally could end up together too. rip rob reiner and his wife michele :
On this first night of Hanukkah, Michelle and I are praying for the families mourning a loved one after the horrific terrorist attack against Jewish people in Australia. For everyone lighting a candle tonight, may the glow of the menorah brighten your darkest moments. Chag Sameach from our family to yours.
THE TRUE STORY OF BOB GELDOF BULLYING BONO TO SING THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL LYRIC IN CHARITY ROCK HISTORY
November 25, 1984. Sarm West Studios, London. Midge Ure & Bob Geldof have written “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” in a single night. The original lyric in the big finale was the gentle, saccharine: “Tonight we’re reaching out and touching you.”
Geldof decides it’s too soft. At the absolute last minute — while artists are already arriving — he scribbles a new line: “Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you.”
Bono (24 years old) walks into the vocal booth, sees the lyric sheet, and immediately refuses. According to everyone in the room (Midge Ure, Paula Yates, the engineers, Bono himself in later interviews), he said something like: “I’m not singing that. It’s crass, it’s smug, it’s revolting. It sounds like the rich West saying ‘thank God the starving people are African and not us.’”
Geldof storms into the booth and unleashes one of his legendary tirades (compiled from multiple witnesses + Bono’s own retellings): “It’s not supposed to make you feel warm and fuzzy, you little Irish prick! It’s supposed to be a slap in the f*cking face! It’s supposed to make the listener in their nice warm house feel uncomfortable — that’s the entire bloody point! Now stop being a precious little art-school wanker, get back in that booth and sing the f*cking line like you mean it!”
After several minutes of shouting, Bono finally relents — but only if he can deliver it with total disgust and venom, turning the line into an accusation instead of a celebration.
He does exactly that. You can hear the disgust in his voice — it’s the moment that made the song unforgettable.
For decades Bono still hated the line. He called it “the most cringe thing I’ve ever sung.”
When the song was re-recorded in 2014, Bono insisted they change it back to the original soft version: “Tonight we’re reaching out and touching you.”
