<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Denise Richards</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> says she had a very good reason for ending her “toxic” </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage"><span style="font-weight: 400;">marriage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to Charlie Sheen even though she was six months pregnant at the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Wild Things” </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">star</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> discussed her deeper motivations during a recent conversation with Caroline Stanbury, the host of the “Divorced Not Dead” </span><a href="https://divorcednotdead.libsyn.com/denise-richards-on-raising-daughters-divorce-other-drama"><span style="font-weight: 400;">podcast</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there,&#8221; she said of their tumultuous relationship. &#8220;It was really bad.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Richards claimed she made the decision to leave after asking herself one important question. She told Stanbury she wondered, “Would I want my daughters to be married to this man?&#8221; Since the answer was a definitive no, the mother of three made the choice to leave him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;No offense to him, but I think he would take that and understand what I&#8217;m saying,&#8221; Richards continued. &#8220;It was very toxic.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sheen and Richards were married from 2002 until 2006 and had two children together. The actress later adopted a daughter after their divorce.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I never wanted the girls to — and I don&#8217;t know, maybe I did them a disservice. There&#8217;s no handbook for this, especially when you&#8217;re in the public too, and you have to deal with all this crap — but I never wanted them to sense any discord between us because I didn&#8217;t want them to feel unsettled,&#8221; Richards said of parenting amid the drama.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I did shelter them a lot, and then they started to get to an age where &#8216;so and so said this,&#8217; and I lied my ass off and covered for him,&#8221; she </span><a href="https://people.com/parents/denise-richards-covering-for-charlie-sheen-with-daughters/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">continued</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Later in the conversation she said, &#8220;Now as they&#8217;re starting to get older, they&#8217;re more aware of more things. That&#8217;s why I say I don&#8217;t know if I did them a disservice when they were younger.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Richards is now remarried and has moved on, there are still disagreements between her and Sheen. Most recently, their now 18-year-old daughter Sami made headlines for creating an OnlyFans account. Sheen insists he never would have approved that type of behavior.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She is 18 years [old] now and living with her mother,” the actor said, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denise-richards-defends-teen-daughter-sami-sheen-selling-body-on-onlyfans-perhaps-i-should-open-my-own-account"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “This did not occur under my roof.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, Richards seemed supportive of her daughter’s decision to join the X-rated platform. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Lots of negative comments on my social this past week,” she posted to social media. “I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18-year-old daughter has. And I also can’t be judgmental of her choices. I did ‘Wild Things’ &amp; Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn’t be either.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Lisa Kudrow says it’s actually a good thing that “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/friends"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Friends</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” didn’t have many black people as part of the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cast</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 59-year-old </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">actress</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> made these statements during a recent </span><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/lisa-kudrow-is-ready-for-another-comeback"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with The Daily Beast. “Well, I feel like it was a show created by two people who went to Brandeis and wrote about their lives after college,” Kudrow said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And for shows especially, when it’s going to be a comedy that’s character-driven, you write what you know. They have no business writing stories about the experiences of being a person of color,” she continued. “I think at that time, the big problem that I was seeing was, ‘Where’s the apprenticeship?’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Emmy Award-winning sitcom, which aired from 1994 to 2004, has come under fire lately for its lack of diversity in casting. Series co-creator Marta Kauffman feels so terrible about relegating black actors to bit parts that she pledged $4 million to Brandeis University to create a scholarship that would benefit black students specifically. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve learned a lot in the last 20 years,” Kauffman told the Los Angeles Times. “Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know better 25 years ago.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism,” she told the university, as The Daily Wire originally </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/friends-creator-pledges-4-million-to-atone-for-lack-of-black-leads-on-the-series"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “I’ve been working really hard to become an ally, an anti-racist. And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white woman’s perspective.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kauffman said she really started thinking about diversity after the death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-floyd">George Floyd</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was after what happened to George Floyd that I began to wrestle with my having bought into systemic racism in ways I was never aware of,” Kauffman told the LA Times. “That was really the moment that I began to examine the ways I had participated. I knew then I needed to course-correct.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kauffman also </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/next-on-the-friends-apology-tour-co-creator-regrets-misgendering-chandlers-dad"><span style="font-weight: 400;">apologized</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the treatment of Chandler’s father, who was transgender. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We kept referring to [Helena] as ‘Chandler’s father,’ even though Chandler’s father was trans,” Kauffman said. “Pronouns were not yet something that I understood, so we didn’t refer to that character as ‘she.’ That was a mistake.&#8221;</p>

<p>“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/reality-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> Kathy Hilton is facing serious backlash for not recognizing the difference between pop star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lizzo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lizzo</a> and actress Gabourey Sidibe, who’s best known for starring in the movie &#8220;Precious.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hilton’s gaffe happened during a recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of “Watch What Happens Live” with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andy-cohen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Cohen</a>. The reality star was playing the game &#8220;Will! Kathy! Know Them?&#8221; which involved Hilton’s “RHOBH” co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff being asked if she thinks Hilton will recognize specific famous people. If Minkoff says yes, then Hilton is asked to identify them.</p>
<p>Upon encountering a photo of Lizzo, Hilton responded, &#8220;I feel like I do? Precious?&#8221;</p>
<p>Everyone erupted into laughter as Cohen replied with an emphatic “No” to her guess. Minkoff put her hand on her head in embarrassment then tried to deflect the situation by saying, &#8220;She is precious though, Lizzo is precious.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hilton also tried to recover. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I call her! Her nickname&#8217;s ‘Precious’ to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the silliness of the situation, social media fans didn’t go so easy on Hilton and even accused her of being racist for mistaking Lizzo for a different plus-sized black woman.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, some people came to the reality star’s defense, pointing out how she guesses incorrectly on that segment all the time. During the same game, Hilton also failed to recognize images of Dwayne Johnson and Justin Timberlake, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/humiliating-moment-kathy-hilton-mistakes-lizzo-precious-watch-what-happens-live-fans-disgusted">reported</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">She does mistake people a lot, but saying Precious is something very insidious.

<p>“She does mistake people a lot, but saying Precious is something very insidious,” one person shared to <a href="https://twitter.com/justxhenry/status/1557769733398827008">Twitter</a>. “It’s not just linking Lizzo to a fat black person solely on her weight, but erasing Gabourey’s identity.

<p>“That Kathy Hilton clip is messed up and y’all know it is. Lizzo minds her own business but all people do is make her a joke and this time it wasn’t even intentional. This time she caught a stray and I wish someone would’ve stepped up and said something,” media personality Kalen Allen <a href="https://twitter.com/TheKalenAllen/status/1557565474711523328">shared</a>.</p>
<p>“When Precious came out, a lot of people used the character’s name as a derogatory label to fuel their fatphobia and to bully. So no, I don’t think that it’s funny that Lizzo, home minding her own business, had to watch herself be called Precious in front of millions on live tv,” he continued in a follow-up.</p>
<p>“Precious isn&#8217;t even a real person and Lizzo looks nothing like her &#8230; I don&#8217;t know what the f** is funny. I expect the heehaw from the 3 glue sticks but the two black men laughing is pissing me off. I&#8217;m tired of the misogynoir [sic] &amp; anti-blackness on this f***ing network,” another person replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a pretty racist comment but because the fans like Kathy, they’re laughing it off,&#8221; another agreed.</p>

<p>Kirk Cameron opened up about how his new film &#8220;Lifemark&#8221; came to be, saying it’s a story about &#8220;life&#8221; and the message that adoption can be a &#8220;compassionate, beautiful, solution to a very difficult problem in our culture today.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-doing-more-grooming-for-leftist-politics-than-it-is-education-kirk-cameron-on-why-its-time-for-the-homeschool-awakening">51-year-old</a> actor spoke to The Daily Wire Thursday about his new film that touches on pro-life and pro-choice issues, and said it provides proof that &#8220;the power of one choice impacts more than just one life.&#8221;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://lifemarkmovie.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description</a> of the movie reads: “David&#8217;s comfortable world is turned upside down when his birth mother unexpectedly reaches out to him, longing to meet the 18-year-old son she&#8217;s only held once. With the encouragement of his adoptive parents, David embarks on a journey of discovery that leads to a staggering truth from his past.”</p>
<p>It stars Cameron, Rebecca Rogers Nelson, Raphael Ruggero, Dawn Long, Justin Sterner, Marisa Hampton and Alex Kendrick. Both Cameron and Kendrick act in the movie and are executive producers on the film. It comes just months after the U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned <i>Roe v. Wade </i>as a result of the decision in <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization</em>. The ruling recognizes that there is no constitutional right to an abortion and returns the issue to the states, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/victory-pro-life-leaders-react-to-overturn-of-roe-v-wade">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Fireproof&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kirk-cameron-says-its-time-for-a-homeschool-awakening-in-trailer-for-upcoming-documentary">star</a> told us that one thing a lot of people might not know is they started making the movie &#8220;two and a half years ago,&#8221; but the pandemic delayed things.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had no idea that the timing of the release of this film, which was delayed by COVID, would be so unbelievable with the overturning of <em>Roe V. Wade,</em>&#8221; Kirk explained. &#8220;People talk about pro-life, pro-choice, but they forget about the adoption option.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems that we&#8217;re divided almost by design over everything imaginable,&#8221; he added. &#8220;From politics to race to gender to vaccination status, and most recently over this issue of life and abortion.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We need a way to look at this issue through the lens of love — love for the birth mom, love for the unborn baby, love for the adoptive parents who are longing to have a baby,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;And ‘Lifemark’ shows a compassionate, beautiful solution to a very difficult problem in our culture today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron explained that the movie came to be after he watched a link sent to him of &#8220;a little documentary&#8221; detailing the real-life story of David Scotton, which was &#8220;the basis&#8221; for the film. It&#8217;s called &#8220;<a href="https://www.ilivedonparkerave.com">I Lived on Parker Avenue</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said it touched him personally because it was about adoption, something he and his wife, Chelsea Noble, are very familiar with after they adopted the first four of their six kids — not because they couldn&#8217;t have children, he explained. But because they wanted to and thought it was a &#8220;beautiful way to have a family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron said his wife and four children &#8220;were one doctor appointment away from not being here.&#8221; Kirk added that if his wife hadn&#8217;t been born, then neither would their two natural born kids.</p>
<p>&#8220;And you saw the movie, you saw the power of one choice,&#8221; the &#8220;Growing Pains&#8221; star shared. &#8220;And when a woman chooses adoption she has no idea what&#8217;s going to happen. But what can happen is the answers to the prayers of that couple who couldn&#8217;t have kids. And this amazing life of this young man.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kirk talked about how this film is pro-family, pro-reconciliation, pro-forgiveness, and so much more. He said he hopes the movie &#8220;not only provides the adoption option as a solution to the difficult culture problem that we&#8217;re continuing to fight about. But that more families will be formed when people get comfortable and excited about the beauty of adoption.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s love, that&#8217;s grace,&#8221; the actor explained. &#8220;And God makes families in incredible ways.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron said he hopes another thing people came way with from the film is that abortion, even though it&#8217;s often &#8220;framed as woman&#8217;s issue&#8221; and that &#8220;men need to stay out of&#8221; it, that &#8220;couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth,&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted a statistic that shows women who have abortions say the &#8220;number one&#8221; influential person in their life to help her make the decision is &#8220;the father of the child.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s men who are carrying around all of these thoughts and emotions, guilt and shame and pain and all this because they know that there are long lasting, emotional effects to abortion,&#8221; Cameron told us. &#8220;And I&#8217;m hoping that people will watch this movie, regardless of whether they are pro-life or pro-choice and it leaves them with this message of life is precious. Forgiveness is available. Reconciliation and new beginnings are possible. And we don&#8217;t need to fight over a difficult unplanned pregnancy. We just need to come together.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later, he reiterated that what he hopes people come away with after watching this film is that &#8220;one choice effects so many more people than one or two people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I want people to come away saying &#8216;you know what, life is a gift from God. It&#8217;s precious,'&#8221; Cameron explained. &#8220;&#8216;And it should be protected and celebrated. And defended at all costs.&#8217; And the adoption option is a beautiful third choice in the midst of the pro-life, pro-choice debate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That one life given a chance to live impacts countless people,&#8221; he added. &#8221; Your parents, your siblings, the biological mom and dad. The grandparents. And the best friend. And who knows that person could grow up and cure cancer, could be the next President of the United States &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Lifemark&#8221; hits theaters September 9. It will run in movie theaters for at least a week and will go longer as audience demand grows — a move Kirk said that Fathom has never tried. For tickets and more information go to <a href="https://lifemarkmovie.com/">Lifemarkmovie.com</a>.</p>

<p>Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kirk-cameron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kirk Cameron</a> blasted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> studios that passed on distributing his new movie &#8220;Lifemark&#8221; with its message about &#8220;life and adoption,&#8221; calling it pure &#8220;cowardice.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-doing-more-grooming-for-leftist-politics-than-it-is-education-kirk-cameron-on-why-its-time-for-the-homeschool-awakening">51-year-old</a> actor spoke with The Daily Wire Thursday regarding his new film about adoption and said he was amazed at the reaction from Hollywood studios, even its &#8220;so-called faith divisions&#8221; who he said rejected this film. The movie is <a href="https://lifemarkmovie.com/about/">about</a>, &#8220;David&#8217;s comfortable world is turned upside down when his birth mother unexpectedly reaches out to him, longing to meet the 18-year-old son she&#8217;s only held once. With the encouragement of his adoptive parents, David embarks on a journey of discovery that leads to a staggering truth from his past.&#8221;</p>
<p>It stars Cameron, Rebecca Rogers Nelson, Raphael Ruggero, Dawn Long, Justin Sterner, Marisa Hampton, and Alex Kendrick — with Cameron and Kendrick also serving as executive producers. It comes just months after the U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned <em>Roe v. Wade </em>as a result of the decision in <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization</em>. The ruling recognizes that there is no constitutional right to an abortion and returns the issue to the states, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/victory-pro-life-leaders-react-to-overturn-of-roe-v-wade">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought it was amazing,&#8221; Cameron shared. &#8220;You know, that&#8217;s just good old-fashion cowardice. You know, even the so-called faith divisions of studios would rather pass from tens of millions of dollars and support horror, violence, and drag queen movies than risk doing anything that celebrates life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron asked what the studios were afraid of, noting how his new film has &#8220;a hint of the subject of abortion&#8221; near the very end of the movie — but explained that &#8220;this is a movie about life and adoption and love and reconciliation and all that. It isn&#8217;t about abortion.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But they [Hollywood] won&#8217;t risk anything that even smells like it,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And they&#8217;ll pass up tens of millions of dollars. I just think that that shows there&#8217;s not a lot of backbone there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Fireproof&#8221; star&#8217;s comments echoed those of director Alex Kendrick, who said that studios that he&#8217;s worked with many times in the past wanted nothing to do with this film.</p>
<p>&#8220;They said, &#8216;We&#8217;re not releasing this one because we&#8217;re scared of the response,’” Kendrick told <a href="https://www.crosswalk.com/headlines/michael-foust/hollywood-studios-rejected-lifemark-due-to-pro-life-message-alex-kendrick-says-they-all-turned-down-this-film.html">Christian Headlines</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was interesting when we shot this film, several of the studios that have courted us in the past, and [have] wanted us to go with them as distributors, they all turned down this film,&#8221; he added. &#8220;&#8230; And so we said — it&#8217;s okay, so we would go to a second and a third studio, and they all said, &#8216;We want anything you got but this one.&#8217; Because they&#8217;re saying this is such a touchy subject and a battleground.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And we said, &#8216;Well, we cannot be ashamed or afraid to share the truth regarding this subject, to share a true story,’” Kendrick continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to argue with a true story. And so we said, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to do this with grace, we&#8217;re going to do this with love, but with truth.’”</p>

<p>Jane Seymour opened about her dear friend Olivia Newton-John&#8217;s &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; spirit after the actress&#8217; death Monday at 73 following a lengthy battle with cancer. Seymour said that the &#8220;Grease&#8221; star &#8220;wasn&#8217;t afraid&#8221; of leaving this earth.</p>
<p>The 71-year-old actress spoke kindly about her friend and shared intimate details about their friendship of 50 years that started long before the &#8220;Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman&#8221; star had her first child, Katie, in 1982, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/olivia-newton-john-defied-all-odds-before-death-says-best-friend-jane-seymour-she-wasnt-afraid?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-28851907&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty extraordinary and really sad because she was always the one that I would call when there were life changes happening and vice versa,&#8221; Seymour explained. &#8220;We could have really deep and wonderful conversations.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She was really, very full on busy and always lovely, but I remember one day when I had my first child Katie, which would&#8217;ve been, almost 41 years ago,&#8221; she added. &#8220;She was living in Malibu at the time, and she asked us to come out and visit. I gave her my baby to hold, and she just held Katie in her arms and looked at me and said, &#8216;How do you do it all? How do you do this?’”</p>

<p>Her response to Olivia, who she called Libby, was, &#8220;I don&#8217;t really know, Libby, but you know, I&#8217;m doing it. And I&#8217;m so glad. This is the greatest moment of my life, and I&#8217;m just in love with this little creature.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not long after, the &#8220;Two Of A Kind&#8221; star and her ex-husband Matt Lattanzi would welcome a daughter named Chloe in 1986. Olivia later married John Easterling in 2008.</p>
<p>&#8220;We trusted one another implicitly, and we were very similar kind of people,&#8221; Jane explained. &#8220;We both liked to work hard, but we also knew family was everything. We had a lot in common.&#8221;</p>
<p>At one point, Seymour said she knew her friend&#8217;s days were coming to an end, but she was amazed at how the &#8220;Xanadu&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-olivia-newton-john-grease-star-and-grammy-winner-dead-at-73">star</a> never stopped living.</p>
<p>&#8220;I realized that she was a unique friend. I have friends, but not like her in my life,&#8221; Seymour shared. &#8220;I just remember so clearly our conversations and the smile on her face. And then the fact that she wasn&#8217;t afraid, I don&#8217;t think, to pass. She just didn&#8217;t want to miss out on life.&#8221;</p>
<p>In February, Seymour talked about getting to see the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/olivia-newton-john-previously-said-she-was-sort-of-looking-forward-to-her-death">late star</a> and thinking &#8220;this could easily be the last time I see her.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But I felt that before … several years before when she was incredibly frail and on a lot of pain meds and I just thought, oh my gosh, she, she was barely eating,&#8221; the actress shared. &#8220;She looked so frail. We were all surprised. She pulled it all back together again and had a quality of life again. It was amazing. She defied all the odds, really.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 36-year-old celeb admitted to these feelings during an </span><a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/porter/article-d9e2707ded45d21f?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-TnL5HPStwNw-_-Custom-_-LinkBuilder&amp;utm_source=rakuten&amp;utm_medium=affiliation&amp;utm_campaign=US_2116208&amp;utm_content=US_Skimlinks.com&amp;utm_term=TnL5HPStwNw-yaMachOJ8jze9gn8WGP15A&amp;ranMID=24449&amp;ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&amp;ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-yaMachOJ8jze9gn8WGP15A&amp;siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-yaMachOJ8jze9gn8WGP15A&amp;linkshare_siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-yaMachOJ8jze9gn8WGP15A&amp;linkshare_affiliate_mid=24449"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with Net-a-Porter. &#8220;Being 19, walking around without my underwear on, like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?&#8221; Seyfried said. &#8220;Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn&#8217;t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That&#8217;s why.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Pennsylvania native broke into acting and modeling at 15 after being cast on popular soap operas “As the World Turns” and “All My Children.” However, her big break didn’t come until being cast in the cult classic comedy “Mean Girls” alongside Lindsay Lohan in 2004.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In “Mean Girls,” Seyfried plays a ditzy blonde popular girl in high school. During one iconic scene, she predicts rainy weather by touching her breasts and noticing her shirt is getting wet. This led to some uncomfortable fan interactions after the movie exploded in popularity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress recalled that fans would ask her if it was raining all the time after that, making her uncomfortable, especially when those fans were men.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &#8220;I always felt really grossed out by that. I was like 18 years old. It was just gross,&#8221; she told Marie Claire during a May </span><a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/amanda-seyfried-interview-2022/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seyfried said getting older has given her perspective and confidence. She lives with her husband and two children on a farm in upstate New York and says her career is important, but she’s not so affected by life’s disappointments anymore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When I meet somebody who’s younger, like in their twenties, and they get rejected… by a job or something like that, it crushes them completely for a minute,” she told Net-a-Porter. “Nothing can crush me completely, when it comes to work. I’m uncrushable! Not one thing can crush my life, unless it has to do with my family.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, talking about being “devastated&#8221; by missing out on the role of Glinda in the upcoming “Wicked” adaptation. But the Emmy-nominated actress insists that the loss didn’t badly damage her spirits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Obviously, being a parent changes your perspective on things, but it’s not just that,” Seyfried explained. “It’s finally coming to the point of, it’s OK to be proud of your work. It’s OK to be proud, it’s OK to have confidence – it’s actually really important,” she said.</span></p>

<p>Packers QB Aaron Rodgers recently shared that during the 2020 offseason, he tried the hallucinogenic drink ayahuasca, and the NFL has since weighed in on whether the star violated the league&#8217;s drug policy.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/aaron-rodgers">Green Bay star</a> made the comments during his appearance on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px3_lDaXHJM">The Aubrey Marcus Podcast</a>&#8221; last week, saying that he went on an ayahuasca retreat to Peru in 2020, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34371733/nfl-says-green-bay-packers-qb-aaron-rodgers-use-ayahuasca-violate-drug-policy">ESPN</a> reported. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=Ayahuasca&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8">Ayahuasca</a> is defined as a &#8220;psychoactive brew used both socially and as a ceremonial spiritual medicine&#8221; in South America.</p>
<p>In a statement from the NFL, the league&#8217;s spokesperson Brian McCarthy shared that the drink &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t have triggered a positive test result on either the substance abuse or performance-enhancing substance policies collectively bargained by the NFL and its players&#8217; association,&#8221; ESPN noted.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>When pressed by the media earlier Monday about Rodgers&#8217; comments about the hallucinogenic tea, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur admitted that he hadn&#8217;t “much thought” about the league&#8217;s possible disciplinary actions against his QB.</p>
<p>During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px3_lDaXHJM">podcast</a>, Rodgers talked about how the retreat gave him &#8220;a deep and meaningful appreciation for life,&#8221; and added, &#8220;I came back and knew I was never going to be the same.”</p>
<p>&#8220;I really feel like that set me on my course to [be] able to go back into my job and have a different perspective on things and to be way more free,&#8221; the professional football player <a href="https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/aaron-rodgers-attributes-success-to-hallucinogenic-tea-green-bay-packers-aubrey-marcus-podcast-nfl-banned-substances">added</a>. &#8220;At work, as a leader, as a teammate, as a friend. I really feel like that experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career.&#8221;</p>
<p>In February, reports surfaced that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-aaron-rodgers-and-superstar-actress-call-it-quits-again">Rodgers</a> and actress Shailene Woodley had reportedly called off their one-year engagement, but were spotted together at a wedding the following month — but that reunion apparently didn&#8217;t last long.</p>
<p>A source close to the actress told <a href="https://people.com/movies/shailene-woodley-and-aaron-rodgers-break-up-again-source-exclusive/?did=771871-20220426&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_source=people.com&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=042622&amp;cid=771871&amp;mid=85757978241">People</a> magazine that the two reportedly broke up after the &#8220;Divergent&#8221; star said their rumored rekindled relationship &#8220;wasn&#8217;t making her happy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before his romance with Woodley, Rodgers was with racing star Danica Patrick for two years before the couple called it <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/04/aaron-rodgers-recalls-psychedelic-journey-to-peru-with-danica-patrick/">quits in July 2020</a>.</p>

<p>Actor Johnny Depp&#8217;s comeback appears to be in full swing after he reportedly landed a multi-year, seven-figure deal to continue as the celebrity face of Dior&#8217;s bestselling Sauvage cologne.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/johnny-depp">59-year-old</a> actor reportedly signed a new contract with the fashion house after first agreeing to promote the brand in 2015, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/09/johnny-depp-signs-new-deal-dior-sauvage-fragrance-cologne/">TMZ</a> reported. Sources told the outlet Depp did a photo shoot with fashion photographer Greg Williams before performing in a rock concert with Jeff Beck in Paris that would be used in a new Dior advertising campaign.</p>
<p>It comes after the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; star appeared in a series of black-and-white photos posted on Dior Beauty&#8217;s Instagram account on Monday that were captured backstage before a Paris performance.</p>

<p>The &#8220;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory&#8221; star has been working on turning his career around after winning a $10 million judgment against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, in a highly-publicized defamation trial.</p>
<p>In June, a jury found the &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; star had defamed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-jury-gave-me-my-life-back-johnny-depp-releases-statement-after-winning-big-in-defamation-case-against-ex-wife-amber-heard">Depp</a> in an op-ed the actress penned in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ive-seen-how-institutions-protect-men-accused-of-abuse-heres-what-we-can-do/2018/12/18/71fd876a-02ed-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html">The Washington Post</a> in 2018 about domestic violence.</p>
<p>Following the verdict, Johnny released a lengthy <a href="https://twitter.com/Angenette5/status/1532086934016864256?s=20&amp;t=aZxN2MzUpTGToW4BVRpRFA">statement</a> thanking the jury for giving him his &#8220;life back.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me,&#8221; Depp&#8217;s statement read, in part.</p>
<p>&#8220;It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career,&#8221; Depp added, as he explained that he pursued the case in the first place to &#8220;reveal the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And six years later, the jury gave me my life back,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;I am truly humbled.&#8221;</p>

Johnny Depp Comeback In Full Swing After Landing Multi-Year, Seven-Figure Deal: Report

Amber Heard

Johnny Depp

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">Megyn Kelly</a> had two words to describe what happened with the raid on former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump’s</a> private residence by the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a>, calling it &#8220;bulls***,&#8221; and more.</p>
<p>During Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; podcast <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7j7bvRCmYvzWRcIfiOIW2g?si=0868b71e7dc9404c">Tuesday</a>, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">host</a> opened her show with a rant against Attorney General Merrick Garland and the reported claim that the FBI raid was to find &#8220;classified documents&#8221; that Trump allegedly took from the White House. She said this is about January 6, and if you believe it&#8217;s not, then &#8220;your head is in the sky.&#8221; It can be heard from the top of the show <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7j7bvRCmYvzWRcIfiOIW2g?si=0868b71e7dc9404c">here</a> where it also airs on Spotify.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some 30 plus agents descending on Mar-a-Lago before sunrise reportedly seeking classified documents that he [Trump] allegedly took from the White House when he left office back in 2021,&#8221; Kelly explained in her opening segment. &#8220;And in a word, my response to that is: bulls***. Bulls***. There is no way that&#8217;s what they were searching for. There&#8217;s no way. I watched all the coverage last night … this is about January 6th.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is about January 6 and the never-ending desire to get Donald Trump on something,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They don&#8217;t want him to run for election again. They want him behind bars. They want him disqualified under the Presidential Records Act or whatever they can possibly find. They don&#8217;t care.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re mad he did not get convicted on the first or the second impeachment,&#8221; the former Fox News host continued. &#8220;They&#8217;re mad that he did not get pursued criminally by the New York [District Attorney]. They are mad that Russia-Gate fell apart. And they are mad that he&#8217;s leading in the polls. He&#8217;s crushing [FL. Gov. Ron] DeSantis. His candidates of choice all made it into office, virtually all of them last week.&#8221;</p>
<p>The host said the &#8220;Democrats play dirty&#8221; and slammed Merrick Garland, who she said &#8220;is very clearly willing to go along with that. He’s been moving in the concentric circles toward Donald Trump over the past several weeks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kelly then listed all the people in Trump&#8217;s circle who have been subpoenaed, and noted &#8220;we&#8217;ve seen close Trump advisors in handcuffs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is really getting alarming,&#8221; the podcast host admitted. &#8220;And the American public deserves answers. Did Attorney General Merrick Garland personally sign off on this? Hello, yes, he did. There is zero chance that he didn’t.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megyn-kelly-issues-warning-to-democrats-after-biden-backs-move-to-nationalize-abortion-law">Kelly</a> admitted we don&#8217;t &#8220;know for sure,&#8221; but repeated the line that there&#8217;s &#8220;zero chance he didn&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also blasted the White House&#8217;s initial reponse that they learned about the raid from Twitter: “Sure they did.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sure, okay,&#8221; Kelly stated. &#8220;Just like they had no idea that that letter from the school boards was coming out asking the DOJ to label parents domestic terrorists. The White House had no idea. Oh, really? They orchestrated the whole thing. We found that out later thanks to some records requests by some well-meaning citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/give-me-a-fing-break-megyn-kelly-calls-aoc-a-congressional-kardashian-after-congresswoman-heckled-as-big-booty-latina">former NBC News host</a> then called for the proof of “FBI&#8217;s justification for this raid,” noting that &#8220;it’s 90 days before a mid-term election; show the American public what did the former president allegedly do.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also questioned how it is that Trump gets raided, but &#8220;Hunter Biden doesn&#8217;t get raided, and Jim Biden doesn&#8217;t get raided, and Hillary Clinton never get raided.&#8221;</p>
<p>She closed out her opening segment by slamming the &#8220;politicization of our law enforcement agencies,&#8221; calling it &#8220;deeply disturbing&#8221; regardless of whether you hate Trump or not.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fred Savage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has issued a statement in response to multiple claims of verbal abuse on the set of “The Wonder Years”</span> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reboot</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which led to the director being let go from the project earlier this year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to The Hollywood Reporter, six women banded together and took their </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/metoo"><span style="font-weight: 400;">concerns</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to a Disney HR executive, claiming Savage engaged in inappropriate behavior, ranging from verbally harassing his colleagues to at least one incident of assault.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The women, who requested anonymity to protect their careers, allege that the 46-year-old father of three had two sides to him and would often lash out in anger when he was in a bad mood. “His eyes would go dead,” one of the accusers said, per THR.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Savage just released a statement addressing the allegations. Per <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/fred-savage-misconduct-the-wonder-years-1235194998/">THR</a>, the “Wonder Years” alum said, “Since I was 6 years old, I have worked on hundreds of sets with thousands of people, and have always strived to contribute to an inclusive, safe and supportive work environment. It is devastating to learn that there are co-workers who feel I have fallen short of these goals.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He continued, “While there are some incidents being reported that absolutely did not and could not have happened, any one person who feels hurt or offended by my actions is one person too many. I will work to address and change any behavior that has negatively affected anyone, as nothing in this world is more important to me than being a supportive co-worker, friend, husband, father and person.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor allegedly moved in with a younger woman in Atlanta while he was living there temporarily during filming. She did not agree to speak with THR, but an unnamed source described his interactions with the young woman as “manipulative and erratic.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The anonymous group of accusers said they came forward mostly out of concern for this unnamed woman, who they allege was the target of Savage’s worst abuse.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fred-savage-fired-from-wonder-years-reboot-for-inappropriate-conduct">reported</a> in May that the director had been let go from the reboot of “The Wonder Years.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” a spokesman for 20th Television said in a statement, according to Deadline. “Upon its completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of ‘The Wonder Years.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many of Savage’s former co-workers came to his defense, calling the claims baseless. There were several other misconduct allegations against him over the years, but so far no convictions.</span></p>

<p>Pemmaraju was a founding anchor on the Fox News network when the channel launched on Oct. 7, 1996. At that time, Pemmaraju was one of the only Indian-American anchors to reach national prominence, Fox News noted. She anchored original shows on the network like &#8220;Fox News Now&#8221; and &#8220;Fox On Trends.&#8221;</p>
<p>She would appear on the network for the next two decades in a variety of roles, including hosting specials like &#8220;A Special for Young People.&#8221; In 2003, she left the network briefly before coming back as an anchor and substitute host across the network on programs such shows as Sunday edition of &#8220;FOX News Live&#8221; and &#8220;The Fox Report.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before she found her way to New York and Fox News, she was an anchor in Dallas, Baltimore and WBZ-TV in Boston. Pemmaraju&#8217;s family told WBZ-TV that she was a &#8220;noble soul and pioneer.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Another sad passing for WBZ,&#8221; WBZ-TV anchor David Wade <a href="https://twitter.com/davidwade/status/1556781516583325696?s=20&amp;t=iuBT1HyeHe7zOu0lpI7_og">tweeted</a>. &#8220;Former Channel 4 anchor and reporter Uma Pemmaraju has passed away. After leaving WBZ, she went on to be a national news anchor.</p>
<p>&#8220;Her family tells me she was a &#8216;noble soul and pioneer&#8217; as an Indian Asian American news woman of prominence. #WBZ,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Former Governor of Arkansas and Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee (R) reacted to news of the legendary anchor&#8217;s death in a touching post on Twitter.</p>
