&#8220;Pawn Stars&#8221; legend Rick Harrison said that more young people have been coming into his Las Vegas pawn shop selling their belongings than ever before and slammed the economy under President Joe Biden.
The reality TV star — who is the owner of the Gold &amp; Silver Pawn Shop famously seen on the popular History Channel TV show — talked about how &#8220;inflation has gone nuts&#8221; as he laid the blame for the rising prices in everything from gas to groceries on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-inflation-reduction-act-would-allow-irs-to-hire-up-to-87000-new-employees-raise-taxes-report">Biden</a> administration, during his appearance Monday on &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/inflation-people-desperate-cash-turning-pawn-shops">Fox and Friends</a>&#8220;.
&#8220;We just have a government dead set on creating more inflation and less jobs,&#8221; Harrison explained. &#8220;I mean, that&#8217;s the only way I can think to say it.&#8221;
The pawn shop owner talked about how people don&#8217;t realize that &#8220;20 percent of the adult population do not have a bank account, they don&#8217;t have normal banking. If they need a little money, this is what they have to do.&#8221;
&#8220;Gas prices are killing people, the price of food has gone … inflation has gone nuts,&#8221; he added of the cost of living in Las Vegas. &#8220;And I really believe lower-income people it affects much worse than it affects upper-income people.&#8221;

&#8220;Rents in Vegas alone are up 24 percent in one year,&#8221; Harrison continued. &#8220;You know, you take the gas prices, the food prices and everything like that: it&#8217;s much harder to make a living.&#8221;
When pressed by the host on who the reality TV star is seeing more of these days in his shop than before, he said younger people. He shared how it&#8217;s &#8220;young people&#8221; who are selling belongings they never thought they would have to.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people, especially young people who work in the gig economy and things like that,&#8221; Harrison told the host. &#8220;I live in the poorest county in Oregon like four months a year. I help out a lot down there. And when you&#8217;re talking rural places, it&#8217;s even worse because these people have to drive so much more.&#8221;

Renée Zellweger responded to criticism about the actress donning a fatsuit and prosthetics for her latest role instead of the part going to a plus-sized alternative.
During the 53-year-old&#8217;s recent interview with <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/renee-zellweger-interview-youve-got-to-survive-a-lot-to-get-to-my-age-t5mhkdrd6">The Sunday Times</a>, the &#8220;Chicago&#8221; star discussed her portrayal of real-life killer Pam Hupp in the upcoming NBC true crime series, &#8220;The Thing About Pam,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11091761/Renee-Zellweger-responds-criticism-wearing-controversial-fat-suit-play-Pam-Hupp.html">Daily Mail</a> reported.
&#8220;Look, you want to be respectful and responsible,&#8221; Zellweger explained. &#8220;There&#8217;s always a limit to how much you can establish an authentic approximation without being distracting.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The outlet noted that the actress previously gained weight for her memorable role as Bridget Jones in &#8220;Bridget Jones&#8217;s Diary&#8221; films. However, this time Zellweger opted for the fatsuit and prosthetics to transform into Hupp, who is currently serving a life sentence for the 2016 murder of Louis Gumpenberger.
Plus-size writer Sarah Alexander told <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/07/renee-zellweger-slammed-for-wearing-damaging-fat-suit-in-new-role-15384408/">Metro UK</a> that there were plenty of &#8220;talented plus-size actresses that could have been hired&#8221; instead and asked why they were &#8220;overlooked and a fat suit considered a viable option?&#8221;
Alexander said that for Zellweger to &#8220;masquerade as a plus-size person&#8221; is &#8220;damaging, fatphobic and potentially triggering to other plus-size people.&#8221;
&#8220;It seems like she has not considered the effects this will have on fat people, and is unaware and/or naive that she is adding to the stigma fat people already face on a daily basis,&#8221; the writer added.
Actor Brendan Fraser recently talked about his return to Hollywood in Darren Aronofsky&#8217;s drama &#8220;The Whale.&#8221; For the movie, Fraser wore a fatsuit to transform into the role of Charlie, a 600-pound man struggling to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brendan-fraser-dons-a-fatsuit-in-the-whale-for-his-big-hollywood-comeback">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

Filmmaker Kevin Smith is unhappy that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/warner-bros">Warner Bros. Studios</a> decided to cancel “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">Batgirl</a>” before it was ever released.
“It’s an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina ‘Batgirl’ <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">movie</a>,” Smith said during an interview with Hollywood Babble-On, a show on <a href="https://youtu.be/yt3YCd2XY7k">YouTube</a>. 
“I don’t give a s*** if the movie was absolute f***ing dog s*** — I guarantee you that it wasn’t. The two directors [Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi] who directed that movie did a couple of episodes of ‘Ms. Marvel,’ and it was a wonderful f***ing show and they had more money to do ‘Batgirl’ than they had to do an episode of ‘Ms. Marvel’ and stuff.”
The studio announced on August 2 that it would not be releasing the film despite it costing $90 million to produce. “The decision to not release ‘Batgirl’ reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max,” a Warner spokesperson stated at the time. 
“Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance.”
The statement noted how grateful Warner Bros. was to the film’s directors and cast, and said “we hope to collaborate with everyone again in the near future.”
“I love all the CW shows, but the CW shows show their budgetary constraints,” Smith said during the interview. “They said ‘Batgirl’ looked too cheap because it was a $90 million movie. How do you make a cheap-looking $90 million movie? If it looked slightly better than an episode of ‘Arrow’ then why couldn’t we see that?”
“That is the baffling thing,” the “Clerks” director said during the interview. 
“I don’t give a s*** how bad the ‘Batgirl’ movie is, nobody in that movie is complicated or has anything in their real life you have to market around. In ‘The Flash’ movie, we all know there’s a big problem! Flash is the Reverse-Flash in real life.”
&#8216;Batgirl&#8217; made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ivory-aquino-joins-batgirl-cast-as-first-trans-actor-playing-a-trans-character-in-dc-movie">headlines</a> in January for adding a transgender woman, Ivory Aquino, to the cast as the best friend of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (Grace). Rumor has it the movie is “irredeemable” and scored horribly during the testing phase, which caused executives to cancel the release altogether. Doing this allows studios to recoup some costs by filing an insurance claim. 
According to reports, the “Batgirl” cancellation is one of the most expensive in Hollywood history.

Country star Vince Gill gave fans an update on his wife, Amy Grant, following a bike accident that sent her to the hospital with a concussion.
During the 65-year-old singer&#8217;s recent show at Nashville&#8217;s Ryman Auditorium, Gill spoke about &#8220;everything she&#8217;s been going through&#8221; since falling off her bicycle on July 27, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/amy-grant-bike-accident-recovery-update-1235123597/">Billboard</a> magazine recently reported. Gill then introduced the couple&#8217;s daughter, Corinna, to the stage to sing a song he wrote about Amy.
Their daughter changed the lyrics of Gill&#8217;s song for his wife, &#8220;When My Amy Prays,&#8221; to &#8220;When My Mama Prays.&#8221;
&#8220;We’re gonna do this song that I wrote for my wife, Amy,&#8221; Gill told the crowd. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t been doing it much, but because of her accident and everything she’s been going through we&#8217;ve been thinkin&#8217; a lot about her. I thought how sweet it would be for her youngest to sing the song I wrote for her.&#8221;
The performance can be seen <a href="https://fb.watch/eN3QUynH0A/">here</a>.
According to Grant&#8217;s representative, the singer&#8217;s recovery is ongoing and she is doing well.
&#8220;She [Amy] is making progress every day,&#8221; the rep told Billboard magazine. &#8220;As Vince has announced during his concerts at the Ryman, she has a concussion and has needed a lot of downtime and peace and quiet to recover.&#8221;
&#8220;When she hit the pothole she was thrown from her bike and hit her head hard and was knocked out for about 10 [minutes] before being transported to the hospital by ambulance,&#8221; the rep added. &#8220;Every day she gets stronger and more alert/energetic.&#8221;
The news comes after Amy&#8217;s team shared an update about the singer&#8217;s condition in a post emphasizing the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a bike, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/singer-amy-grant-hospitalized-following-accident">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
In the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkinQdPfhP/">Instagram</a> post, Grant&#8217;s representatives wrote, &#8220;Thank you to all those offering prayers and well wishes for Amy after her bike crash yesterday. She is in the hospital receiving treatment but in stable condition.&#8221;
&#8220;She is expected to go home later this week where she will continue to heal,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;Your kind thoughts and heartfelt prayers are felt and received. Amy was wearing her helmet and we would remind you all to do the same.&#8221;

Actor Ashton Kutcher revealed that he previously suffered from a rare autoimmune disorder that left him unable to see, hear or walk.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ashton-kutcher">44-year-old</a> actor opened up about his recent health challenges in an upcoming episode of National Geographic&#8217;s &#8220;Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge,&#8221; according to &#8220;<a href="https://www.accessonline.com/articles/ashton-kutcher-reveals-autoimmune-disorder-left-him-unable-to-see-hear-or-walk-lucky-to-be-alive-exclusive">Access Hollywood</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;Like two years ago, I had this weird, super rare form of vasculitis, that like, knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out, like, all my equilibrium,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-are-overwhelmed-mila-kunis-and-ashton-kutcher-raise-more-than-30-million-for-ukraine">Kutcher</a> explained. &#8220;It took me like a year to build it all back up.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t really appreciate it, until it&#8217;s gone,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Until you go, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m ever going to be able to see again, I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m ever going to be able to hear again, I don&#8217;t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again.'&#8221;
&#8220;Lucky to be alive,&#8221; Kutcher continued.
&#8220;The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right?&#8221; he added. &#8220;You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them.&#8221;
&#8220;What do they say in survival?&#8221; host Bear Grylls replied. &#8220;Storms make you stronger. And I think he&#8217;s living proof of that.&#8221;
Vasculitis is described as a disorder that &#8220;involves inflammation of the blood vessels&#8230;which reduces the width of the passageway through the vessel&#8221; and &#8220;can result in organ and tissue damage,&#8221; according to the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasculitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20363435">Mayo Clinic</a>.
Kutcher is married to his former co-star from &#8220;That &#8217;70s Show,&#8221; Mila Kunis, and the two share two children.
The full episode featuring &#8220;The Ranch&#8221; star airs Monday on National Geographic at 9 p.m. ET.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> is not keeping quiet about his ex-wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">Kim Kardashian&#8217;s</a> breakup with &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-davidson">Pete Davidson</a>.
The 45-year-old recording artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_0KfkreCq/">shared</a> a fake photo of a New York Times headline declaring, “Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.&#8221; West had repeatedly called Davidson by the nickname “Skete” during their public feud that played out over several months earlier this year.
The image includes a smaller caption that says, “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”
For now, this trolling image is the only one on West’s Instagram account, which he has deleted and reinstated several times as the drama between him and Kardashian continues. It appears the “Flashing Lights” composer decided to start up his social media account again as news of Kardashian and Davidson’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-call-it-quits-report">breakup went public</a> on Friday. The pair had been dating for nine months.
Fan reactions to West’s Instagram photo were mixed. 
“You win the internet today bro,” one fan shared. 
“God steppin in,” another person observed.
“Chillllllll,” someone else advised.
West was never thrilled that Davidson was dating Kardashian and went public with his concerns via social media. In March, the rapper released a music video for the song “Eazy” showing a claymation depiction of Davidson’s likeness getting buried alive. 
That same month, screenshots of a text exchange between the two men went viral as Davidson shared a photo of himself shirtless in bed with Kardashian, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-bed-with-your-wife-pete-davidson-taunts-kanye-west">responding</a> to West’s question of where he was by saying, “In bed with your wife.”
Meanwhile, Kid Cudi was a mutual friend who got caught up in the drama. West shared in February, “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” referencing his connection to the comedian.
Cudi shot back saying, “Too bad I don’t want to be on your album you f***in’ dinosaur hahaha everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about your albums since I met you.”
This explains why West targeted Cudi on the faux New York Times headline, referencing a recent incident when the rap artist left the stage after fans wouldn’t stop throwing water bottles at him. The crowd was annoyed that Cudi had replaced West as the headliner at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kid-cudi-storms-off-stage-when-fans-wont-stop-throwing-water-bottles">reported</a>.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">Chris Pratt</a> has a message for woke reviewers of his new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/amazon-prime">Amazon Prime Video</a> project “The Terminal List,” which has received negative critic reviews despite audiences being overwhelmingly receptive to the Navy SEAL-focused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment">thriller</a>.
Pratt shared the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11087249/Chris-Pratts-new-thriller-Terminal-List-smashes-ratings-despite-woke-critics-scathing-reviews.html">link</a> to a Daily Mail report comparing “The Terminal List” to “Yellowstone,” which is another critically panned drama that audiences love to watch. The title of the article reads, “The new Yellowstone: Chris Pratt&#8217;s new Navy thriller The Terminal List defies woke critics&#8217; scathing reviews to shoot up ratings chart with 1.6 BILLION minutes of streams.” 
The actor posted the article to his Instagram stories over the weekend, followed by a photo of Dr. Evil from the “Austin Powers” franchise with the caption, “One point six BILLLLLLLLLION minutes,” reiterating just how popular the project is with fans.
“The Terminal List” follows Pratt depicting Navy SEAL commander James Reece as he embarks on a mission to find out who killed his platoon and get revenge on them. Rotten Tomatoes reports an average rating of 40/100 from critics but 94/100 from viewers.
Daniel Fienberg from <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-reviews/the-terminal-list-review-1235173286/">The Hollywood Reporter</a> described it as “the entertainment equivalent of a charred hockey puck, with the same limited range of flavor and aesthetics.”
But the audiences just don’t agree. 
“As a veteran I appreciate their efforts to make this as realistic as possible,” one Rotten Tomatoes reviewer <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_terminal_list/s01/reviews?type=user">wrote</a>. Several other reviewers said the show depicted the military as it really was rather than the typical Hollywood version.
“An awesome show, Chris Pratt is fantastic, as a non-right winger this show is for everyone,” another agreed.
“It&#8217;s a universal truth of Rotten Tomatoes, if the &#8216;critics&#8217; hate it&#8230; and the audience loves it (over 95% positive) then it is a GUARANTEED hit. That&#8217;s the case here&#8230; this show was excellent! One of the few new shows that I had to binge because you wanted to know what happened next!” someone else shared.
“Great tv series! Awesome to see a modern production showing real men and some traditional values &#8211; loyalty, courage, duty, family, overcoming hardship. Hope studios take note of what the public really want, in total opposition to the critics, who are mainly elitist ideologues,” one reviewer shared.
The official Instagram page for the show shared last month that &#8220;The Terminal List&#8221; was the number one show on Prime Video.

Boxing legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-tyson">Mike Tyson</a> is lashing out against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hulu">Hulu</a> biopic “Mike” once again, saying the streaming giant stole the story of his life without permission.
“Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life,” the 56-year-old former world heavyweight champion posted to his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7JRAeLY9B/">Instagram</a> account. “It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives I’m just a n****r they can sell on the auction block.”
In the caption, Tyson wrote, “Hulu is the streaming version of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism">slave master</a>. They stole my story and didn’t pay me.”
The day before, Tyson praised UFC president Dana White for refusing to promote the documentary. 
“Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life,” Tyson <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg5xQwPrx4V/">said</a>. “He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”
“Mike” stars Trevante Rhodes as Tyson and promises to “explore the wild, tragic and controversial life and career of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson &#8211; one of the most polarizing figures in sports culture,” per the <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14181914/">IMDb</a> description. The miniseries is scheduled to debut on August 25.
Tyson has been railing against “Mike” for months. In a now-deleted Instagram post from February, he wrote, “Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorized mini-series of the Tyson story without compensation, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising,” the celeb wrote at the time, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/08/mike-tyson-takes-jab-hulu-mike-series-premiere-they-stole-my-life-story-1235086753/">Deadline</a>.
“This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of the Tyson life story. To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for black story rights. Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020.”
Showrunner Karen Gist defended the existence of “Mike.” 
“We just wanted to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what they think or feel,” Gist said at Hulu’s Television Critics Tour panel last week. 
“Challenging what people think they know about Mike and hoping that they come away from the series with something else to think about. Whether you like him or hate him, does the story make you question how complicit society has been? That was the intention, that was the North Star for the writers’ room as we were crafting stories.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/britney-spears">Britney Spears</a>’ new husband Sam Asghari has inserted himself into the raging drama, claiming that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">pop star’s</a> ex-husband Kevin Federline is only lashing out because he won’t be getting child support payments soon.
The saga began when Federline granted a rare interview with ITV News. During the conversation, the father and guardian of Spears’ two sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, alleged that the teens chose not to see their mother due in part to racy photos she shares on Instagram.
&#8220;My wife has never posted a nude selfie except of her butt [which] is quite modest these days,&#8221; Sam posted to his Instagram Story over the weekend, per <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1341114/sam-asghari-defends-britney-spears-after-kevin-federline-claims-sons-dont-want-to-see-her">E! News</a>. &#8220;All other posts were implied nudity [which] can be seen in any ad for lotion or soap.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no validity to his statement regarding the kids distancing themselves and it is irresponsible to make that statement publicly,” he continued. 
Next, Asghari, who tied the knot with Spears in June, implied that Federline was making the statements because he would soon be getting cut off from child support payments.
&#8220;The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the &#8216;tough&#8217; part was having a father who hasn&#8217;t worked much in over 15 years,&#8221; Asghari wrote. &#8220;Kevin&#8217;s gravy train will end soon [which] probably explains the timing of these hurtful statements.&#8221;
The 44-year-old former backup dancer has had 70% custody of the two boys since 2018, per E! News. 
Asghari was responding to Federline&#8217;s harsh words for his ex-wife during the interview.
“This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else,” Federline said, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-responds-to-ex-husband-kevin-federlines-interview-about-their-children">reported</a>. “It’s been tough. It’s the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”
Spears shot back against her ex on social media.  
“It saddens me to hear that my ex husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children … As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone,” the 40-year-old performer shared to Instagram. “It concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram … it was LONG before Instagram.”
“I gave them everything,” she continued. “Only one word: HURTFUL … I’ll say it … My mother told me ‘You should GIVE them to their dad’ … I’m sharing this because I can … Have a good day folks!!!”

A writer late last week accused comedian Dane Cook, 50, of hosting &#8220;game night&#8221; parties at his home with girls as young as 14.
The allegations from Tracie Egan Morrissey come after Cook faced backlash last week after news broke that he had proposed to “longtime” girlfriend Kelsi Taylor, 23, who is 27 years younger than he is.
Three years ago, Cook <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/when-did-dane-cook-kelsi-taylor-meet-engagement-internet-slams-age-gap-1730326">revealed</a> that the couple met one night “at a game night I host at my place,” and that they started as friends and that it escalated from there.
“I was so ready to ask her. I was completely zen about it,” Cook said in an interview this week. “The evening of the proposal was incredibly beautiful, the weather was perfect, sunset was spectacular, and I was just quite simply very happy.”
Newsweek highlighted Morrissey&#8217;s claims in a report about Cook&#8217;s &#8220;game nights,&#8221; which noted that most attendees appeared to be older males.
&#8220;Morrissey found that actress Emily Alyn Lind attended when she was 14,&#8221; Newsweek <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/dane-cook-accused-hosting-game-night-parties-teenage-girls-1731178">reported</a>, noting that she appeared in a 2017 photo posted on Cook&#8217;s Instagram account. &#8220;Saxon Paige Sharbino, is seen in group shots at 16 years old, and in individual snaps with Cook when she was 15 years old.&#8221;
The report added that there were other instances where teenage girls were at the party, but they appeared to be over 18 years old.
Regarding Cook&#8217;s relationship with Taylor, Morrissey claimed, &#8220;She was 100% under age when they first began hanging out.&#8221;
Taylor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comedian-dane-cook-50-faces-backlash-after-engagement-to-longtime-girlfriend-kelsi-talyor-23">said</a> in a recent interview that when Cook proposed to her a few weeks ago during a trip to York Beach, Maine, her “stomach flipped.”
“I couldn’t have asked for the moment to have been more perfect. All that was going through my brain was, ‘Wait, is this actually happening right now? Is he proposing?’” she said. “I was also just really focused on what he was saying to me because I was trying desperately to etch the words into my brain. They were so beautiful, I really wanted to soak it in.”
News of the couple&#8217;s engagement quickly creeped out many on social media, who alleged Taylor had a &#8220;close&#8221; relationship with Cook when she was underage.
“Just trying to imagine if even one of my friends now, in our 30s, said they had a ‘close friend’ who was 17. At 45?? Dane Cook I guess waited until her 18th birthday but PSA: if you’re waiting until something is ‘technically not a crime’ … buddy, you have already f***ed up,” writer Olivia Messer tweeted. “This was, admittedly, very hard to grasp as a teenager, which is exactly how it happens. And I’m truly sad for what today must feel like to her. But the other adults??? When Dane Cook brought this girl to parties and dinners, or mentioned it to his friends? SOMEBODY, ANYBODY??”
“I hope the graphics person who had to slap the ‘People Exclusive’ label on a photo of Dane Cook in 2022 at least had a moment where they asked themselves what decisions brought them here,” writer Chase Mitchell tweeted.

American actor and director Roger E. Mosley, best known for his role as the helicopter pilot Theodore &#8220;T.C.&#8221; Calvin on the 1980s hit show &#8220;Magnum, P.I.,&#8221; died at 83 years old on Sunday, his daughter announced. 
Mosley reportedly died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, following a major car accident on August 4 that left him paralyzed from the shoulder down.
&#8220;He was surrounded by family as he transcended peacefully,&#8221; Ch-a Mosley said in a Facebook <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/100041744273339/posts/pfbid02GbMx8AytmW9qUjP5yCt9dQnZf7nhxfwcbJMbWQ6nyUjsYAJwSyWEJH7eFDXJHLJil/?d=n" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>. &#8220;We could never mourn such an amazing man.&#8221; 
Ch-a Mosley said her father fought for his life in critical condition after the accident. The actor&#8217;s daughter <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cha.mosley.5/posts/pfbid02Ha9jBZShXB6Xoeia1wPeTaudwLTaMefEnowGY9t8rmw46FJ5S4G7Kq2aGxnAhLFLl">said</a> hospital staff made &#8220;every effort&#8221; to care for her father while his family and friends accompanied him. 
&#8220;This is a VERY hard time for us as we all know Roger to be a lion, the king of everywhere he brought himself. He is a legend, a trailblazer, a roll [sic] model, a friend to his communities,&#8221; Ch-a said. &#8220;He is my &#8216;Mr. Man.'&#8221; 
Mosley was born in Los Angeles on December 18, 1938. The actor grew up in Watts in the Imperial Courts housing projects and attended Jordan High School.
His acting career began in the early 1970s and continued until retiring in 2010. 
From 1980 to 1988, Mosley starred with Tom Selleck in more than 150 episodes of &#8220;Magnum, P.I.,&#8221; which aired for eight seasons. In 2019, he stepped out of retirement to appear in two episodes of a reboot of the classic 80s crime-adventure series as another character, John Booky.
Mosley&#8217;s character, Theodore &#8220;T.C.&#8221; Calvin, was a former Marine veteran and helicopter pilot who would later fly helicopter tours in Hawaii and serve as a member of Magnum&#8217;s team.
Mosley became a certified helicopter pilot, although he did not perform his own stunts during the filming of the show.
Mosley also appeared on &#8220;Sanford and Son,&#8221; &#8220;Love Boat,&#8221; &#8220;Starsky and Hutch,&#8221; and dozens of other TV series. 
In 1976, Mosley starred in the film &#8220;Leadbelly,&#8221; which focused on the life of folk singer Huddie Ledbetter. In a 1982 interview with Ebony magazine, Mosley said playing the part of Ledbetter was his favorite role.  
Mosley also founded the Watts Repertory Company in 1974.
His daughter said Mosley would &#8220;HATE any crying done in his name.&#8221;
She said her father would show random acts of kindness to strangers doing good deeds.
&#8220;He has a little bag filled with Starbucks gift cards that he gives to people who&#8217;ve done good,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cha.mosley.5/posts/pfbid02noxyNay7FAc51ypeCVASBGRn11oiQD36z4B1wbKpUX51rqTBXcfsGBDsmjf9oWQBl">wrote</a>.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Antoinette &#8220;Toni,&#8221; and three children.
&#8220;It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all,&#8221; Ch-a wrote. &#8220;I love you daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy but I am strong. I will care for mommy, your love of almost 60 years.&#8221;
&#8220;You raised me well and she is in good hands,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Rest easy.&#8221;

Britney Spears responded on Saturday to remarks made by her ex-husband Kevin Federline in a series of interviews set to air next week.
Federline <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-ex-husband-kevin-federline-breaks-silence-about-childrens-relationship-with-her-report">said</a> that the children he shares with the 40-year-old singer &#8211; Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15 &#8211; have decided not to see their mother for the time being and that they hadn&#8217;t seen her since before she married Sam Asghari over the summer.
“This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else,” Federline said of some of Spears&#8217; public struggles. “It’s been tough. It’s the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”
Spears responded to those remarks and others from Federline in a series of posts on Instagram.
&#8220;It saddens me to hear that my ex husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children &#8230; As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone &#8230; It concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram &#8230; it was LONG before Instagram,&#8221; Spears wrote. &#8220;I gave them everything &#8230; Only one word: HURTFUL &#8230; I&#8217;ll say it &#8230; My mother told me &#8216;You should GIVE them to their dad&#8217; &#8230; I&#8217;m sharing this because I can &#8230; Have a good day folks!!!&#8221;
Spears later <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8lvfTOeYU/?hl=en">continued</a>, &#8220;In addition to what I said on my story &#8230; As their step mom says &#8216;whatever is happening outside this home has nothing to do with this home&#8217; &#8230; I would like to share the DOOR to outside is a token to the WHITE GATES I&#8217;ve been kept from for 15 years &#8230; the conservatorship has only been over for 8 months !!!!&#8221;
&#8220;Being able to have cash FROM THE OUTSIDE world for the first time is EXTREMELY ENLIGHTENING &#8230; are we equal now??? As in even equality ???&#8221; Spears continued. &#8220;Reminder that the trauma and insults that come with fame and this business not only affect me but my children as well !!!! I&#8217;m only human and I&#8217;ve done my best &#8230; I honestly would like to share my TWO CENTS !!!!&#8221;
&#8220;I daringly would like for the Federline&#8217;s to watch the BIG BOOTY VIDEO !!! Other artists have made much worse when their children were extremely young !!!! During my conservatorship I was controlled and monitored for nearly 15 years &#8230; I needed permission just to take Tylenol !!!&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;I should embark on doing WAAAY more than going topless on the beach like a baby!!!! I&#8217;m not surprised that just as my family did their share of interviews, they will too. I&#8217;m not surprised at all with their behavior and their approach to what I&#8217;ve had to deal with !!!&#8221;
