A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a> man pleaded guilty to several charges in court after allegedly murdering and cannibalizing a man named <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Bacon</a>.
In a preliminary hearing Thursday, a 52-year-old suspect pleaded guilty to charges of open murder and mutilation of a body after he killed, dismembered, and ate Bacon, a 25-year-old hairdresser from Swartz Creek. The suspect pleaded guilty against the wishes of his attorney, who was planning to use an insanity defense. The suspect still has to face further proceedings.
Video from the court, taken by <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2022/09/watch-mark-latunski-plead-guilty-to-murder-of-kevin-bacon.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLive</a>, shows the suspect&#8217;s attorney asking questions of fact before submitting his plea of guilty. A judge then spoke to the suspect. &#8220;The court agrees with the attorneys,&#8221; the judge said. &#8220;The court does find you guilty of open murder and dismembering a body, and your conviction now is going to be part of the record of this court. We cannot, however, give you a sentencing yet, because we&#8217;re not finished. We have to have a degree hearing. I spoke to [counsel], and we agreed that that degree hearing will be conducted in this courtroom on October 18th and October 19th, 2022.&#8221;
According to the Michigan-based law firm <a href="https://www.monroecountylawyers.com/blog/2020/02/what-is-the-open-murder-statute-in-michigan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kershaw, Vititoe and Jedinak</a>, &#8220;open murder&#8221; is a broad murder charge that includes both first and second-degree murder.
“Michigan law gives the prosecutor significant latitude in what theory of murder that they intend to pursue,&#8221; the firm says on its website. Citing the Michigan criminal code, the firm explains that a prosecutor does not need to file a specific degree of murder in a charge, but can simply charge that the murder happened, which is &#8220;open murder.&#8221; A jury will then decide, after presenting a guilty verdict, which degree of murder the suspect is guilty of. In this case, since the suspect already plead guilty, a degree hearing will determine whether the suspect will be convicted of either first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or simply manslaughter, MLive reported. If convicted on the most severe count, the suspect could face up to a life sentence.
The alleged incident occurred in December ofsuspect was arrested in 2019. According to <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2020/01/this-doesnt-appear-to-be-a-serial-killer-police-say-in-kevin-bacon-murder-case.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news</a> <a href="https://www.wilx.com/content/news/Police-describe-crime-scene-found-at-Latunskis-home--566745641.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> from the time, Bacon met the suspect on the popular homosexual dating app Grindr, and told his roommate he was meeting up with the suspect on the night of Christmas Eve. Bacon&#8217;s family became concerned when he did not show up for family breakfast on Christmas Day, and called the police later that day.
Police found Bacon&#8217;s car in a parking lot near his home, with his wallet, phone, and other belongings inside. On December 28, police showed up at the suspect&#8217;s house to conduct a welfare check. Inside, they found Bacon&#8217;s body hanging naked from the ceiling. The suspect told police that he stabbed Bacon in the back, slit his throat, then cut off his testicles and ate them, before tying his body up and hanging him from the rafters.
The actor Kevin Bacon expressed his condolences to the family of the victim shortly after the news broke. &#8220;For obvious reasons I’m thinking this morning about the friends and Family of this young person Kevin Bacon,&#8221; the actor wrote on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B6s601bHy9Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> at the time. &#8220;His life was taken from him much too soon. His love was hair dressing. I bet he would have done a great job on this mess on my head. RIP KB[.]”

Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5 and outspoken liberal, has become a walking meme overnight.
It all started when a 21-year-old Instagram model posted screenshots of a conversation she claimed happened between herself and the married singer. Sumner Stroh promised she wasn’t a homewrecker, but she still felt it important to come forward with news of Levine’s infidelity before one of her friends sold the story to the tabloids.
Her timing was terrible. Just days before the screenshots of Levine allegedly telling Stroh he wanted to name his unborn child after her, the singer’s wife Behati Prinsloo – who happens to be a supermodel – had announced she was pregnant with their third child.
“Embarrassed I was involved [with] a man with this utter lack of remorse and respect,” Stroh wrote in the TikTok video caption explaining the situation, as The Daily Wire originally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/maroon-5-singer-allegedly-cheated-on-wife-with-instagram-model-asked-to-name-his-baby-after-her">reported</a>. The video has racked up million of views in just a few days.
“I’m just gonna rip the band-aid off,” Stroh wrote. “Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who’s married to a Victoria’s Secret model.”
“At the time, I was young, I was naive, and, I mean, quite frankly, I feel exploited,” the social media influencer continued. “I wasn’t in the scene like I am now. So I was definitely very easily manipulated.”
“Adam and I were seeing each other for about a year, after I stopped talking to him over a period of months, this is how he came back into my life,” she continued, showing off screenshots of the alleged conversation where Levine mentioned naming his child after her.
“You ok with that? DEAD serious,” he allegedly wrote of his shocking request.
Following the social media uproar, the married father of two admitted he had “crossed a line” and sent inappropriate messages, but claimed he wasn’t physically unfaithful.
“I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” the singer said Tuesday, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-levine-addresses-instagram-models-infidelity-claims-i-crossed-the-line">reported</a>. “I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life.”
“In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family. My wife and my family is all I care about in this world,” he continued.
“To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it and we will get through it together.”
Not long after Levine’s public apology, more women came forward with their own stories of flirtatious DMs from Levine. Comedian Maryka shared screenshots of her alleged interactions with the married singer. Levine wrote in their conversation, “Distract yourself by f***ing with me!” She also shared a private video of Levine saying, “I’m stupid” that didn’t include context.
She showed images of Levine allegedly writing, “I’m now obsessed with you.”
A couple screenshots of the Maroon 5 singer supposedly interacting with other women have become meme fodder.
“It is truly unreal how f***ing hot you are. Like it blows my mind,” Levine allegedly wrote in one interaction with a woman. Social media users have been inserting other objects into the conversation, equating the hotness with ”printers in the 1990s,” “Me to my MacBook after using it for 30 minutes,” “me vs the hot pocket i just made” and “Goldilocks trying the first bowl of porridge,” per <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/09/22/twitter-roasts-adam-levine-with-memes-about-cheating-scandal/">Page Six</a>.
As for the exchange where he says, “Holy f***. Holy f***ing f***. That body of yours is absurd,” users are inserting imagery ranging from a photo of a duck to video game <a href="https://twitter.com/JustifyMyLee/status/1572682831012442112">graphics</a> of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.
Even fans of Levine are cringing at his method of flirting via DM. They’re also expressing sympathy for the singer’s wife and family who were publicly humiliated. It’s worth noting that before Levine got married and had kids, he wasn’t on board with monogamy.
“Instinctively, monogamy is not in our genetic makeup,” the Maroon 5 frontman told <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a2786/Adam-Levine-interview/">Cosmopolitan</a> in 2009. “People cheat. I have cheated. And you know what? There is nothing worse than the feeling of doing it.”
In 2012, he told Details that his promiscuous ways were a result of loving women so much that he wants to be with all of them.
“There’s two kinds of men: There are men who are f***ing misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they’re the most amazing people in the world. And that’s me,” Levine <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/adam-levine-cozy-model-girlfriend-behati-prinsloo-romantic-stroll-article-1.1112389">said</a> of himself.
“Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Levine said that he was &#8220;so capable of understanding women&#8221; because after his parents broke up, they moved in with her brother&#8217;s ex-wife who was also single.
&#8220;So I was living in a house with two jilted women, plus my cousin, who&#8217;s more like my sister, and my brother, Michael, who we eventually found out is gay.&#8221;
He said, &#8220;Just the estrogen alone . . . You know when you&#8217;re 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn&#8217;t suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls.&#8221;
Before marrying Prinsloo, Levine had questioned the concept of marriage in general. “If you don’t get married, you can’t get divorced,” he <a href="https://pagesix.com/2013/04/02/adam-levine-taking-no-chances/?_ga=2.230773084.217325002.1663760251-2094951064.1646063333">said</a> in 2013. At the time, he was dating the woman who would later become his wife, but they didn’t actually tie the knot until 2014.
The recording artist put aside his qualms about permanent commitment and wed Prinsloo in a private ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Levine seemed happy with his decision, telling Ryan Seacrest that it made him feel more like a man to become a husband.
“You feel like a man or something, it’s weird,” the singer <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/adam-levine-talks-behati-prinsloo-marriage-and-family-2014298/">explained</a>. “The relationship doesn’t change, but you feel slightly more masculine. I feel like from a man’s perspective… at the end of the day, if you’re with the right person, the guy is supposed to feel like, I think, a little bit more of a man.”
Levine became a father after welcoming Dusty Rose in 2016 and Gio Grace in 2018. He claimed fatherhood was the most important thing in the world to him.
“You’re born to be a parent. That’s what we’re here for, really,” Levine <a href="https://www.etonline.com/media/videos/adam_levine_adorably_calls_fatherhood_the_best_thing_the_world-212962">told</a> ET. “All the other sh** is great, but it’s not what we’re here for.”
Fans seem most concerned about Levine’s wife and kids as the infidelity scandal gets more complicated. 
However, Prinsloo was spotted out and looking happy since the incident went viral. She was photographed holding hands with Levine in an apparent silent message of solidarity as the world wonders if his views on promiscuity haven’t changed much.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Drew Barrymore</a> recently admitted that going without <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sex">sex</a> for extended periods of time is no big deal for her.
The 47-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment">actress</a> made the comments during a Wednesday episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” per <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/drew-barrymore-says-she-can-years-without-sex">Fox News</a>.
&#8220;What’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time?&#8221; she quipped to co-host Ross Mathews. The pair had been discussing Andrew Garfield saying he didn’t have sex for six months in preparation for his role as a priest in the 2016 Scorsese drama “Silence.”
&#8220;I was like, ‘Yeah, so?’&#8221; Barrymore continued.
&#8220;That’s the headline: ‘Drew can go six months, no big deal,'&#8221; Mathews replied. The actress doubled down on her previous statement, saying, &#8220;Oh, years.&#8221;
Barrymore has been married and divorced three times and recently talked about how she’s navigating being a single mom. The “50 First Dates” star has two children with ex Will Kopelman and said she’s hesitant about bringing home men she’s not seeing seriously. 
&#8220;I’m not there yet,&#8221; she explained on her show earlier this year. &#8220;I have two young girls, and I don’t want to bring people home. I think that it would take me a very long time to meet someone and get to know them before I could ever even introduce them to my daughters.&#8221;
Barrymore’s dysfunctional upbringing as a child star with celebrity parents is well-documented. But she said she hopes what she went through ultimately makes her a better mom. 
&#8220;I didn’t have parents, I was the parent to them. It was all totally upside-down,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10225779/Former-Hollywood-wild-child-Drew-Barrymore-46-says-chaotic-childhood-better-mother.html?ito=social-facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR0DG-5pKymKJ71pdDfNJ5Az-eXk3sRAUcec49fhIfa1VXsGoG_llm6iIb8">told</a> The Mail in November 2021. 
&#8220;So I didn’t know what I was doing. When people would talk to me about parenting I felt like an outcast. It took years for me to pluck up the courage to say, &#8216;Can you speak to me as someone who is desperately trying to learn? Can you teach me?'&#8221;
&#8220;I’ve got love and humor but we’re all learning on the job,” Barrymore continued. “I don’t want to be my kids’ friend – I am their parent. I hope my experience growing up in an industry toxically riddled with vanity can help me be better with my kids.&#8221;
Barrymore also described herself as “old-fashioned” when it comes to love.
&#8220;I’m not really aggressively looking, but watching this old-fashioned show was weirdly this keyhole entry point for me to accept the modern world because I am so old-fashioned,&#8221; the actress told James Corden about how she loves watching “Bridgerton.”

A child <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sexual-abuse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sex abuse</a> lawsuit has been dropped against comedians <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiffany-haddish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiffany Haddish</a> and Aries Spears.
The former plaintiff, a young woman known only as Jane Doe, filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice on Tuesday.
“My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,” Jane Doe in a statement. “We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”
The suit claimed Haddish and Spears abused two siblings; a female when she was 14 years old (Jane Doe) and the girl’s brother when he was seven (John Doe). On both occasions, the children were allegedly told they were acting, once in a sketch called “The Mind of a Pedophile.&#8221;
It was alleged that Jane Doe, now 22, was encouraged by Spears and Haddish in 2013 to mimic the motions of oral sex for a comedy skit.
The teen was allegedly made to watch a skit of coeds “moaning and making sexual noises” as they both ate a sub sandwich “in a manner that simulated the act of fellatio.” Spears then allegedly told the girl “to mimic what she had seen on the screen, including the noises precisely like what she heard throughout the video.”
John Doe was allegedly touched inappropriately by Spears a year later, when he was seven years old, according to the now-dismissed suit.
Both Haddish, through legal representation, and Spears have denied the allegations since the suit was filed, likening the legal move to a monetary shakedown.
“Plaintiff’s mother, Trizah Morris, has been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms. Haddish for several years,” Haddish’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, dismissed the accusations in a <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-09-01/tiffany-haddish-aries-spears-child-sexual-abuse-allegations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to the Los Angeles Times. “Every attorney who has initially taken on her case — and there were several — ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down.”
Haddish took to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIKTS2Pdcx/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> herself to address the claims. “I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you,” she wrote.
“Unfortunately because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now,&#8221; the &#8220;Girls Trip&#8221; actress continued. &#8220;But, clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all — and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it. I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can.”
“This is an extortion case,” Spears <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiMoNDHIIom/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=c5905ada-6517-4b65-89b8-87a0bc612783" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> to the suit on the “Spears &amp; Steinberg” podcast. “This is a shakedown. We won’t be shaken down.”

Legendary &#8220;Cheers&#8221; actor Woody Harrelson told Bill Maher the &#8220;last people&#8221; he would trust with his own health is &#8220;Big Pharma and Big Government&#8221; — and he explained why.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flattered-to-be-compared-legendary-cheers-actor-writes-personal-poem-to-his-infant-doppelganger">61-year-old</a> actor&#8217;s appearance on the &#8220;Club Random with Bill Maher&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTvKhMmiqqo">podcast</a> Sunday, the TV actor and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher">host</a> discussed the response to the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two-plus years. The two agreed that trusting the pharmaceutical companies and government rather than a person&#8217;s own doctor is bizarre.  The host asked his guest would it be that crazy that the pharma industry wouldn&#8217;t say advocate for &#8220;more boosters than were necessary&#8221; for profit?
&#8220;Like most Americans would not normally trust the government with helping them,&#8221; Harrelson replied. &#8220;Like what does the government actually do to help you?”
&#8220;They help big corporations, industries, all the people that got&#8230;those people into Congress, or ultimately to become President,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Those people all got to get taken care of.&#8221;
Maher repeated that American&#8217;s &#8220;don&#8217;t trust the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We have the polling on this.&#8221;
&#8220;Okay so here&#8217;s the CDC promoting that we have to do this all these things,&#8221; the actor shared. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like profiteering in war. Think of the billions of dollars that have gone to Big Pharma.&#8221;
&#8220;Back to my original point, the last people I would trust with my health is Big Pharma and Big Government because neither one of those strike me as caring entities,&#8221; the &#8220;Zombieland&#8221; star added. &#8220;They&#8217;re all about profit, they&#8217;re all about profit. It&#8217;s obscene the profit they&#8217;ve made.&#8221;

At one point, the HBO host pointed out the fact that there was never a proposal from the government or CDC to handle the pandemic &#8220;internally.&#8221;
&#8220;There was no even suggestion if we handle this internally by making our immune systems stronger,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unthinkable-bill-maher-blasts-attack-on-dear-friend-salman-rushdie">Maher</a> explained. &#8220;Not just with diet, but some basic things you can do&#8230; instead of locking yourself away.&#8221;
Harrelson agreed and noted things like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were considered &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;
&#8220;There was only one thing that would work and that&#8217;s the vaccine,&#8221; Woody explained. &#8220;And so ultimately because of that, billions of dollars was made.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pat-sajak" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Sajak</a>, the popular host of “Wheel of Fortune,” revealed during an interview this week that the “end is near” for him hosting the show.
The 75-year-old entertainer, who has hosted the show for 41 years, made the remarks during a Thursday interview with Entertainment Tonight.
&#8220;In most television shows by this time, you would have said, &#8216;That’s probably enough,&#8217; but this show will not die,&#8221; Sajak <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/16/pat-sajack-reveals-wheel-of-fortune-retirement-the-end-is-near/">said</a>. &#8220;It appears I may go before the show.&#8221;
&#8220;Years go by fast. We&#8217;re getting near the end. It&#8217;s been a long [time]. We&#8217;re not gonna do this for another 40 years. The end is near,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s an honor to have been in people&#8217;s living rooms for that long. People were out there welcoming us. We&#8217;re happy and proud.&#8221;
Sajak and co-host Vanna White said that they are focused on the upcoming premiere of their third season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Wheel of Fortune first aired back in 1975 with Sajak becoming its host six years later in 1981. White was hired the following year and the two have co-hosted the show ever since.
In an interview last year, Sajak <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/pat-sajak-opens-stop-hosting-wheel-fortune-rcna2261">hinted</a> that his time on the show was starting to wind down even though he and White had just signed new contracts to stay on through the 2023-2024 season.
“We’re certainly closer to the end than the beginning,” Sajak said last year. “I’d like to leave before people tune in and look at me and say, ‘Ooh, what happened to him?’”
“I wouldn’t bet on seeing us in 10 years, I would say,” Sajak said, before asking White, “Is that fair?”
“Probably, yes,” White said.
News of Sajak&#8217;s eventual exit from the show comes after Alex Trebek, the host of the “Jeopardy!” gameshow since 1984, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alex-trebek-dies-of-cancer-at-80">died</a> in 2020 after hosting the show for 36 years.
The TV icon, whose avuncular personality and biting wit made the daily show a must-see for millions of Americans, announced in March 2019 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He went through chemotherapy after the diagnosis but said he had no plans to retire.

“The Woman King” is already earning rave reviews from most <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critics</a>, but even some left-wing outlets are being forced to admit that the writers completely rewrote history by painting the Agojie warrior women as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/slavery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abolitionists</a>.
The historical drama’s description calls it “the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen.”
It goes on to say this story, “inspired by true events,” depicts the General Nanisca (Viola Davis) as she “trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="THE WOMAN KING – Official Trailer (HD)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3RDaPV_rJ1Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The movie, which premiered Friday, currently has a 96% critic rating and 99% audience rating on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_woman_king" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rotten Tomatoes</a>. However, even among the glowing praise of this “true story” of female empowerment, there are some mainstream outlets admitting that parts of the story are not accurate.
It’s true that in the kingdom of Dahomey, women stepped outside their typical social roles to serve as warriors. The film could have solely focused on that truth and remained mostly accurate. However, Nanisca is portrayed as anti-slavery, when in reality, the Agojie warriors had no moral qualms about enslaving neighboring tribes and profiting from the African slave trade. This practice continued until the British Empire ended the slave trade in the region.
To their credit, the <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/sisterhood-and-slavery-in-the-woman-king">reviewer</a> from The New Yorker calls out this historical error. “If the scriptwriters had wanted, ‘The Woman King’ could have been an amoral epic about swordplay and statecraft,” the reviewer writes.
“But ‘The Woman King’ chooses to make resistance to slavery its moral compass, then misrepresents a kingdom that trafficked tens of thousands as a vanguard in the struggle against it.”
The Wall Street Journal also <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-woman-king-review-viola-davis-thuso-mbedu-john-boyega-dana-stevens-maria-bello-gina-prince-bythewood-11663280007">notes</a> the inaccuracy.
“The central problem with the movie—call it the #MeToo ‘Black Panther’—is that in reality Dahomey notoriously built its wealth on capturing local people and selling them into slavery,” the reviewer writes. “Characters in ‘The Woman King’ blame enslavement in Dahomey on the economic meddling of white traders although it was well-established in West Africa before the Europeans got involved.”
“Historical inaccuracy never troubled Hollywood before, so why shouldn’t the ladies help themselves to some of it? Fair question, but there’s a difference between stretching the truth and presenting the opposite of it,” the WSJ review concludes.
Despite these critical assessments, most reviews praise the film for being “powerful” and “ferocious.” Peter Travers from ABC News wrote that it “reminds us how truly inspiring it is to see these brave sisters doing it for themselves.”
“The Woman King” is currently playing in theaters.

Young star Timothée Chalamet said that superstar actor Leonardo DiCaprio once gave him advice on having success in Hollywood.
During the 26-year-old actor&#8217;s interview for the latest issue of <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/timothee-chalamet-british-vogue-interview">British Vogue</a>, the &#8220;Call Me by Your Name&#8221; star shared what <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/leonardo-dicaprio">DiCaprio</a> told him about having a successful career in the movie industry, the outlet reported in a piece published Thursday.
Chalamet said when he met the 47-year-old actor in 2018, &#8220;The Great Gatsby&#8221; star told him, &#8220;No hard drugs and no superhero movies.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Timothée Chalamet reveals that Leonardo DiCapiro was the one to give him the advice — “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Chalamet, who has been in an a handful of films since, appears to have taken the advice to heart.
&#8220;I had a delusional dream in my early teenage years to have, in my late teenage years, an acting career,&#8221; the &#8220;Dune&#8221; star explained to the outlet.
&#8220;I should have been trying to get my adult feet under myself a little bit earlier than I did,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I found myself having to really, you know, be honest with myself that where I&#8217;ve been able to get myself to in life was balls to the wall, like throwing everything at [it] at a young age that, by some miracle, got me to where I am.&#8221;
&#8220;The King&#8221; star ended up working with DiCaprio in 2021&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/2022-oscar-nominees-such-as-woke-propaganda-film-dont-look-up-prove-hollywood-needs-more-perspectives">Don&#8217;t Look Up.</a>&#8221;
The advice &#8220;The Aviator&#8221; star gave the up-and-coming actor was somewhat different to what the &#8220;Titanic&#8221; star previously shared while he was doing publicity for his 2008&#8217;s &#8220;Revolutionary Road,&#8221; per <a href="https://www.dailyactor.com/actor-tips/leonardo-dicaprio-making-the-publicity-rounds/">The Daily Actor</a>.
&#8220;People are always asking me what advice I would give to young actors — which makes me feel incredibly old,&#8221; Leonardo shared.  &#8220;The only thing I&#8217;d say is we all know there will be a new piece of meat.&#8221;
&#8220;The one thing you can count on is that the spotlight of attention will fade away,&#8221; he added.  &#8220;The only thing that&#8217;s gonna make you survive and have a career and not make you go do something else is concentrating on doing the best work you possibly can when you&#8217;re given the opportunity, because that opportunity will go away.&#8221;

Young Actor Shares Advice He Got From Leonardo DiCaprio Early In His Career

Leonardo DiCaprio

Daily Wire host Candace Owens has never shied away from a confrontation, especially when it’s merited. 
The 33-year-old host of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">Candace Owens</a>” makes waves all the time for verbalizing hard truths, but some of the biggest reactions come from her willingness to question the most notorious offenders of all: Hollywood celebrities.
On the second episode of Candace’s new show, the mom of two delved into the weird world of the Kardashians. The host specifically focused on momager Kris Jenner who <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/09/13/kris-jenner-viewed-multiple-versions-of-kims-sex-tape-before-deciding-which-to-release-ray-j-says/">allegedly</a> watched several versions of her daughter Kim’s sex tape in 2007 and picked which one should be leaked to the press because it made Kim look the best.
Kim’s ex-boyfriend and sex tape participant, Ray-J, is the one who originally made the claims public. Candace called Kris’ viewing of her daughter’s sex tape “incestuous” by definition, and she labeled Kim as the “prostitute” and Kris as the “pimp.”
“There are really no words that can adequately describe how positively disgusted I am by the story,” Owens said on the Tuesday episode of her show, per <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-owens-says-kim-kardashian-is-a-prostitute-mother-a-pimp-over-new-ray-j-allegations-about-infamous-sex-tape">The Daily Wire</a>.
“A mother sat down and decided to sell her daughter’s body for fame and money, and she was successful,” Candace continued. “Not only is that disgusting, but then that her plan worked. Kim Kardashian is a billionaire today, and she is, by the way, still selling sex.”
The Daily Wire host made no apologies for her assessment of the situation. “I now hold the opinion that Kim Kardashian is a prostitute,” she said. “And I’m not going to edit this opinion: Kim Kardashian is a prostitute; her mother is a pimp — worse than a prostitute.”
Candace went on to describe how Kim had become like so many other Hollywood celebrities who were willing to do anything to achieve fame, even if it meant sacrificing their integrity for money.
“Kim Kardashian is a corpse; she’s a body without a soul,” the podcast host continued. “She is so emblematic of the society that we live in today, that if you are willing to degrade yourself, if you are willing to denigrate yourself, then our society, our American society will give you more.”
“It is not an exaggeration to say that Hollywood is Satanic, because what could possibly be more Satanic than that?” Candace said. “What could possibly represent a more incestuous, if you will, relationship than a mother viewing her daughter’s body having sex and selling it?”
It’s not the first time the “Blackout” author has questioned the Kardashians and their parenting decision. Candace sided with Kanye West in February when he objected to his and Kim’s eight-year-old daughter, North, being on TikTok.
“There is no 8 year old in the world that needs social media. Go color,” Candace shared to <a href="https://twitter.com/realcandaceo/status/1489696187515080709?lang=en">Twitter</a>, weighing in on Kim allowing her daughter to be on the social media site. West and Kim were in the process of divorcing at the time.
“Kim is wrong on this one,” the podcast host wrote in a <a href="https://twitter.com/realcandaceo/status/1489695491210285057?lang=en">follow-up</a>. “The psychological effects of social media on young girls is real and documented. It’s actually Kanye that is trying to protect his daughter in this regard and Kim is spinning this as ‘obsession’ and ‘control.’ There are other creative outlets for kids.”
West thanked Candace for supporting him, then she <a href="https://twitter.com/realcandaceo/status/1490028638171017225?lang=en">followed up</a> by sharing his words and reiterating his last line, “I dream of a world where dads can still be heroes” along with a string of fire emojis.
The “Candace Owens” host has called out other Hollywood A-listers besides the Kardashians before for their behavior. In January, the host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-owens-goes-off-on-most-annoying-celebrity-demi-lovato-ive-never-seen-someone-who-needs-more-attention-in-my-life">identified</a> Demi Lovato as the “most annoying” celebrity because she’s constantly seeking attention and validation from the public.
“I would say, without question, the most annoying celebrity … is Demi Lovato” Owens said. “I’ve never seen someone who needs more attention in my life.”
“I don’t understand why people come to social media to overshare,” Owens remarked.
Continuing, she said, “I think the answer to it is because all they are looking for is someone in the comments to be like, ‘You’re so great, that’s amazing, you’re so amazing, oh my God, so brave for speaking out on your multiple personality disorder, me too, oh my God, you’re amazing’ … it’s like, actually the disorder that they’re suffering from is a need for attention on social media. And Demi very much has this disorder.”
“She just needs to have social media taken away from her,” Candace concluded.
Lovato had recently been making headlines for coming out as pansexual, shaving her head, and encouraging followers to “be a sl*t” and make porn.” Since then, she’s switched pronouns again and again and come out with a provocative new album featuring imagery that mocks Christianity.
Candace was also not shy about calling out renowned leftist Chrissy Teigen, who got into hot water with her own side when it was discovered that she had harassed a then-16-year-old conservative named <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-owens-explains-why-shes-not-buying-the-chrissy-teigen-apology-still-a-malignant-sociopathic-narcissist">Courtney Stodden</a> and suggested that she kill herself. After a month of waiting, Teigen apologized, but Candace called her out for insincerity.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-owens-explains-why-shes-not-buying-the-chrissy-teigen-apology-still-a-malignant-sociopathic-narcissist">reported</a>, Candace said Teigen wasn’t really sorry, she was just sorry she got caught being herself.
“The problem with #chrissyteigen’s diatribe is that she’s apologizing for who she was ‘a long time ago,&#8217;” Owens shared to Twitter. “Let’s be clear— Chrissy spent the last 6 years online harassing conservative women who DID NOTHING to her.”
“This wasn’t some off-colored period of her life,” Owens continued. “It’s who she is.”
“FYI— someone on Chrissy Teigen’s team is deleting negative comments under her Instagram account to create the illusion that the world is forgiving her,” Candace continued in a follow-up. “This is little more than a carefully crafted Hollywood PR stunt. She’s still a malignant sociopathic narcissist.”
Some fans question why Candace involves herself in the sordid world of Hollywood and why it matters what celebrities do. The truth is that the entertainment industry is an important cultural force and, ultimately, politics are downstream from culture. As vapid and ridiculous as celebrity lives can appear, Candace is right to call out wrongs when she sees them. They’re making an impact on society — whether we like it or not.

Disgraced Hollywood producer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harvey-weinstein">Harvey Weinstein</a> is asking the court for leniency so he can deal with his rotting molars.
The 70-year-old former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment">Hollywood</a> producer pleaded with a judge on Wednesday to let him visit a private dentist to take care of his painful problem rather than having the teeth removed by the dentist at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prison">jail</a>, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/14/harvey-weinstein-begs-judge-to-stop-prison-dentist-from-pulling-his-rotten-teeth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>.
“This situation is an emergency,” Weinstein said in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday. “I will pay for the dentist … it will be one trip and one trip only.”
Weinstein is currently serving 23 years after being found guilty of two charges including criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree in 2020. He was acquitted on three additional charges. The former producer is still facing additional charges of rape and other sex crimes related to accusations from five women in L.A. County and is expected to stand trial again in October. He is currently being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.
The judge noted how the former producer had already been to see the prison dentist, but Weinstein’s lawyer argued that Weinstein was seeking treatment beyond just pulling out the teeth or continuing to let them rot, which is what was offered there.
“I’m in pain every day. I have cavities and I can’t eat because I’m missing teeth,” the former Hollywood executive explained. Weinstein said he wants a bridge or dental implants so he can appear “presentable” in the future, especially during his appeal.
Weinstein’s lawyer Mark Werksman said his client would look “ridiculous” and “like a caricature” if the molars were removed and not replaced. 
Weinstein was just granted an appeal for the prior conviction in New York, which is another reason he’s trying to get his teeth fixed to look presentable in court.
“I am so grateful to my attorneys for working hard and smart on this,” Weinstein said in a statement to ABC News after getting his appeal granted, per <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvey-weinstein-granted-appeal-in-rape-conviction-by-new-york-judge">The Daily Wire</a>. “Their hard work will help me prove my innocence in the end. I look forward to this opportunity to be heard by The New York Court of Appeals.”
In March, Weinstein described himself as a “model inmate” after getting caught with Milk Duds in his jail cell. 
“This was an innocent misunderstanding.” he said of having the contraband candy. “It will not happen again. I have been a model inmate, following the rules and regulations and I am sincerely sorry.”

Celebrities have been political for decades.
Remember when Marlon Brando sent Native American Sacheen Littlefeather to decline his Oscar for “The Godfather?” How about when Michael Moore used his Best Documentary Oscar speech to blast President George W. Bush in 2003?
That was just a taste of the New Normal. Today’s stars are hyper-political, almost always in unison with the progressive playbook. They vent on social media, in magazine profiles, and, of course, from awards show stages.
A few stars go beyond those virtue signals. They seemingly live and breathe political banter, using every opportunity to rage against the GOP. And you can blame some, if not most, of it on a certain real estate mogul.
<h3>Rob Reiner </h3>
The man affectionately known as Meathead from “All in the Family” became one of Hollywood’s best directors after leaving the CBS sitcom.
“This Is Spinal Tap.” “Stand By Me.” “The Princess Bride.” “Misery.” “A Few Good Men.” “When Harry Met Sally.”
Few modern directors can match that resume.
These days, he directs flops (“Shock and Awe;” “And So It Goes”) in between having raging fits against former President Donald Trump on every platform possible. His most embarrassing moment? He used the death of his father, comedy icon Carl Reiner, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rob-reiner-father-hoped-live-205216941.html">to target Trump</a>.
His August appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” found him <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/08/29/maher_media_buried_the_hunter_biden_story_because_they_couldnt_risk_having_trump_win_the_election.html">unable to answer a direct question</a> from the affable host about the media burying the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. He couldn’t abandon his progressive talking points and looked foolish in the process.
His next project could, in theory, put an end to his cinematic cold streak. He’s directing a sequel to the classic mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap.” Will his Trump derangement enter the frame? Would anyone bet against it?
<h3>Chelsea Handler</h3>
The former E! superstar left the channel to join Netflix’s team, but she eventually decided to become a full-time activist. Why? Politics gnawed at her, and she figured she’d be more effective as an activist than a talk show host.
Or, perhaps, her Netflix series drew terrible ratings, and she left before she got canned.
Either way, she’s transformed her shtick from bawdy blasts from her boudoir to lectures about so-called <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chelsea-handler-donald-trump-white-privilege_n_5d8301e8e4b0957256b11476">white privilege</a>. She even said white males are the <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/chelsea-handler-white-men-woke-comedy/">only “approved” target</a> for comedians today.
She did much more than overhaul her act, though. She sauntered in several women’s marches, ignored politicians accused of sexual misconduct if they had a “D” in front of their names, and demanded racially-charged jokes become illegal in the U.S. &#8211; while ignoring <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chelsea-handler-ripped-hypocrite-condemning-jokes-racism-153019877.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall">her own “criminal” past</a> on the matter.
In between political broadsides, Handler discusses the progress <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/chelsea-handler-47-says-therapy-gave-her-the-self-awareness-she-needed-to-fall-in-love-with-jo-koy-145856232.html">she’s made in therapy</a> following the Trump era.
<h3>Ron Perlman</h3>
The character actor landed the role of a lifetime as Clay, the head of the “Sons of Anarchy” motorcycle club. That FX series showcased Perlman’s range and ability to project anger on screen.
Over and again.
We’ve gotten a taste of that off-screen, too, ever since Trump took office. Perlman became obsessed with the 45th president, turning his Twitter feed into a round-the-clock, anti-Trump showcase.
His most embarrassing Tweet? He said he’d <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/ron-perlman-trump-twitter-resistance/">risk death to dethrone Trump.</a>
Perlman never stops working – his IMDB page is chock-full of soon-to-be released titles. His political fires still burn, however, despite a new president inhabiting the White House. Trump Derangement is a permanent part of his psyche, alas, and chances are his TV is permanently set to MSNBC.
<h3>Alyssa Milano</h3>
The 40-something actress landed not one but two beloved shows – “Who’s the Boss” and “Charmed.” These days, she’s more activist than actor. Her podcast, “Sorry, Not Sorry,” lets her weigh in on the latest political headlines, and she’s equally vocal with social media, particularly her 3.6 million strong Twitter account.
Her cause celebre? Women’s rights … except when they overlap with her progressive pals. She became one of Hollywood’s #MeToo warriors, but she initially laid low when former Biden staffer Tara Reade accused the now-president of sexually molesting her in 1993.
Milano finally commented on the ugly charge, saying her “Believe All Women” mantra came with an asterisk.
She similarly softened her hard-charging approach when 11 women charged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually inappropriate behavior as well as when the group Time’s Up, which was established to protect women, couldn’t rally on their behalf.
Fellow “Charmed” alum <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rose-mcgowan-slams-alyssa-milano-joe-biden-times-up-ceo-cuomo-sex-scandal">Rose McGowan called Milano’s blazing hypocrisy</a> out on the matter, &#8220;Milano, TimesUp, fake performatives and profiteers. Alyssa&#8217;s statement at the time was gaslighting in full effect. She said of my truth telling ‘Hurt people hurt people.’ No, Alyssa, it&#8217;s lizard people like you, SDK Knickerbocker, Gov Cuomo, the Pres, Tina Chen who hurt people. Your time is up. Exit stage left.”
<h3>Jennifer Lawrence</h3>
What’s a sure sign you’ve let politics get the best of you? You throw your immediate family under the bus in a fawning magazine profile.
That’s exactly what this “Hunger Games” star did when talking up her next movie at Vogue Magazine. Lawrence said she tried and tried to forgive her right-leaning family for not aligning with her progressive views.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-reads-vogues-jennifer-lawrence-interview-and-it-makes-him-jealous-of-tucker-carlson">She just couldn’t do it.</a>
Even more alarming? She admitted to having nightmares about Tucker Carlson, the Fox News superstar.
<h3>Amy Schumer</h3>
Schumer took a page out of Handler’s woke playbook in transforming her once-blazing career. Now, her movies do little damage at the box office, and she’s relegated to small screen gigs like “Life &amp; Beth,” which barely moved the pop culture needle.
Why? She used her “Inside Amy Schumer” showcase to promote <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-drops-new-anti-gun-sketch-chase-stephens">progressive causes like gun control</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-protesting-nfl-says-she-wont-do-any-emily-zanotti">got herself arrested</a> for protesting Supreme Court justices under the flimsiest of sex abuse allegations, and then boycotted the NFL for not employing failed quarterback Colin Kaepernick. She essentially cut her potential audience in half with her hard-left politics, and she’s no longer the industry’s go-to comedienne.
Her tepid co-hosting gig at the recent Oscars ceremony showed anew her best comic days are behind her. That won’t stop her activism, though.

So, the question of the day is: Why are women crazy?
I can’t be the only person reading the stories in the press right now. I know, according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, this is supposed to be the Year of the Dragon, but it feels like the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-3-how-to-spot-a-crazy-woman-2">Year of The Crazy Woman</a>.&#8221; It seems like women in America were pretending to be sane for a while &#8211; but now, they&#8217;re just going bonkers and it’s all being revealed.
First, there was Meghan Markle. Then, we covered Kim Kardashian who had us believing for two decades she was a victim. And who can forget &#8220;I&#8217;m so scared, I&#8217;m a victim&#8221; Amber Heard?
What do all of these women have in common? There are four main things to look for to spot a crazy woman:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">She&#8217;s a feminist.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">She&#8217;s definitely a feminist.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">She over-utilizes the word &#8220;attack.&#8221;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">She&#8217;s in a lot of problematic relationships.</li>
</ol>
We can underscore the &#8220;Year of the Crazy Woman&#8221; by looking at another recent cultural example.
Take Olivia Wilde. What do you know about Olivia Wilde? Well, the first thing you need to know is that she is a feminist. Of course, like all good feminists, Wilde sometimes gets &#8220;attacked&#8221; by men — and she usually likes to get ‘attacked’ by men when she&#8217;s trying to further her career.
So, it was convenient for her that she was going through a separation with Jason Sudeikis while producing and directing her new movie “Don&#8217;t Worry, Darling.”
While on stage at CinemaCon, a processor served Wilde papers in public — which, by the way, has happened since the beginning of time. Processors know for a fact that celebrities will at one time or another be on a red carpet. But when it happens to Wilde, it is an &#8220;attack.&#8221; An &#8220;attack,&#8221; by the way, that can be used to promote her new movie. 
After receiving the child custody documents, Wilde gave this statement:
<blockquote>“It was my workplace. In any other workplace, it would be seen as an attack. It was really upsetting. It shouldn&#8217;t have been able to happen. There was a huge breach in security, which is really scary. The hurdles that you had to jump through to get into that room with several badges, plus special COVID tests that had to be taken days in advance, which gave you wristbands that were necessary to gain access to the event — this was something that required forethought.”</blockquote>
Yes, she&#8217;s under attack, and she was really scared — because these papers were handed to her in a professional manner. She&#8217;s not a special snowflake, though. This has happened many times to other celebrities in the past. But this time it happened to a woman who is — did I mention — a feminist?
Wilde goes on to say:
<blockquote>“I hated that this nastiness distracted from the work of so many different people and the studio that I was up there representing. To try to sabotage that was really vicious. But I had a job to do. I&#8217;m not easily distracted.”</blockquote>
Oh, wow. She is just so brave. What a brave feminist woman Olivia Wilde is.
Now, weigh this against the statement from Jason Sudeikis’s which sounds totally stable:
<blockquote>“Papers were drawn up to establish jurisdiction relating to the children of Ms. Wilde and Mr. Sudeikis. Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered, as this would solely be up to the process service company involved and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner.”</blockquote>
Sudeikis went on to say the same thing, and it makes him sound like a normal person. Of course he had no idea where she was going to be served. This all created a very good reason for her to go to the press and portray herself as the victim so that people would buy tickets to her movie. (Which, by the way, everyone says kind of sucks.)
But that wasn&#8217;t enough. If you can take down one man to get press, what if you take down two?
At first, Shia LaBeouf was cast as the lead in “Don&#8217;t Worry, Darling” before Harry Styles was given the role. Nobody knew the reason LaBeouf eventually left the movie. But thanks to an interview with <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/olivia-wilde-denies-shia-labeouf-quit-dont-worry-darling-1235364535/">Variety</a>, we all found out.
<blockquote>“I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them.”</blockquote>
Wilde said she didn&#8217;t want LaBeouf to be there because she could never condone the kind of individual he is — because she&#8217;s a feminist. That was the implication.
Shia LaBeouf has publicly struggled with alcoholism and drugs for quite a long time and has even been admitted to treatment centers. Perhaps the most notorious accusations came from his former girlfriend FKA twigs when she filed a lawsuit against him for abuse. This was all public.
Olivia Wilde knew all of this and she saw it as an opportunity.
Since the public didn&#8217;t know exactly why LeBoeuf was no longer in the film, she was free to say whatever she wanted. Her statement to Variety heavily implied that she dropped him because she was a feminist and would never want to condone this sort of person being on her set. She even talked about the &#8216;ethos&#8217; on her set, and how he just didn’t fit the &#8220;ethos.&#8221;
And so, of course, the public believed her story, that is until Shia LaBeouf replied. He wrote a letter in response to her interview in Variety. Apparently, what she said just wasn&#8217;t true at all. LaBeouf shared an email thread and even released a video that she sent to him where she begs him to stay in the film.
Shia LaBeouf has struggled with addiction, but he&#8217;s clean now and proven he is a different man today than he was even three years ago.
