<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani has died at the age of 91.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani,” the company said in a statement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In this company, we have always felt like part of a family. Today, with deep emotion, we feel the void left by the one who founded and nurtured this family with vision, passion, and dedication. But it is precisely in his spirit that we, the employees and the family members who have always worked alongside Mr Armani, commit to protecting what he built and to carrying his company forward in his memory with respect, responsibility, and love.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Armani had missed his last three fashion shows due to being ill, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025/sep/04/giorgio-armani-celebrated-italian-fashion-designer-dies-at-91">per</a> The Guardian, but was slated to attend the company’s 50th anniversary celebration later this month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born in 1934 in Piacenza, Italy, Armani launched his fashion career by dressing window displays before shifting into menswear design in the 1960s.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I got into fashion almost by accident and then it slowly grew in me until it completely absorbed me, stealing my life away,” he said of his career, as the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By 1975, Armani launched his own label, taking the stiffness out of traditional tailoring in favor of more fluid styles that became staples of power dressing in the 1980s. Hollywood celebrities helped make the brand a cultural sensation, with Richard Gere in “American Gigolo” being one famous example.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Armani brand turned into a global empire with everything from suits to fragrances to haute couture garments. It’s still a major player in the fashion industry today. The company earned $2.7 billion in profits last year, which represented a 5% decrease from the previous year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood embraced Armani and now they are mourning him, too. Julia Roberts shared a photo of herself posing with the late designer and added the caption, “A true friend. A Legend,” alongside the broken heart emoji.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/julia-roberts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Roberts</a> got torched on Tuesday when she slammed those looting during the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wildfires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles fires</a> after she has overwhelmingly supported Democratic weak-on-crime policies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday, the 57-year-old actress posted a message on her </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DExvYb-xdRF/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about a SoCal Fire fund set up to “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">assist in providing Immediate and Long Term support for all those impacted” </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">by the multiple wildfires burning in southern California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is so much healing and help needed,” Roberts wrote. “We will get through this. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">#F</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.U.Looters. To donate and have a direct impact, please visit the link in my bio.” Her post follows reports that $10 million dollar homes were being looted after families have been forced to evacuate their mansions due to the fires raging in the area, the </span><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14280151/Julia-Roberts-says-f-looters-10M-homes-continue-robbed-LA-fires.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_mailonline"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Daily Mail</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was the line about “F.U. looters” that seemed to get everyone’s attention, with many on social media pointing out that the movie star has fundraised for Democrats who have supported things like Defund the Police and soft on crime DAs who refused to punish looters of Black Lives Matter riots and more.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most agonizing sights in politics is watching Democrats trying to ape the motions of normal, everyday people. We&#8217;ve talked about this a lot lately. Tim Walz tried to play a football video game and go hunting, only to demonstrate that he doesn&#8217;t know what a &#8220;Pick 6&#8221; is, or how to load his own shotgun. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, White Dudes for Kamala, led by Adam Kinzinger, went to the range for a fun day of shooting, only to violate every single gun safety rule that exists. They even managed to accidentally </span><a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2024-10-23/flyaway-metal-from-missouri-democratic-senate-candidates-rifle-grazes-reporter-at-campaign-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shoot</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a reporter who was covering the event. He was </span><a href="https://www.newsweek.com/reporter-hit-shrapnel-shooting-range-lucas-kunce-1973634" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">hit</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by a bullet fragment off a very predictable ricochet, which is a story that should probably be getting more attention than it is. And then there was Kamala Harris </span><a href="https://x.com/BrutalBrittany2/status/1850362943680164276" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">grabbing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a casual beer with the governor of Michigan the other day, surrounded by dozens of cameras that she pretended not to notice so she could have a fake &#8220;hot mic&#8221; moment. The whole thing looked about as phony as Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s infamous &#8220;beer catastrophe.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Democrats struggle to emulate basic human interactions like this for a lot of reasons. One of them is that Democrats are statists. Maintaining interpersonal relationships, and having normal interactions with one another, isn&#8217;t something that concerns them. Their goal is advancing the broader interests of their party. This is an outlook that makes it extremely difficult for Democrats to relate to everyday Americans who, unlike Democrats, aren&#8217;t transfixed by the idea of obtaining more political power. It shows up everywhere in their messaging. They can&#8217;t help but reveal how clueless and manipulative they are.</span></p>
<h3><strong><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1475-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That brings me to what may be the single most vile political advertisement I&#8217;ve ever seen. This ad just came out the other day on social media. On paper, the idea behind this advertisement is to appeal to liberal women who are married to conservative men. But in just the span of thirty seconds, this advertisement — which was produced by the nonprofit &#8220;Vote Common Good&#8221; — reveals that Democrats don&#8217;t understand anything about marriage, or women, or men. Instead, probably without even realizing it, the people who made this advertisement were very transparent about the goal of the Democrat Party, which is to turn families against one another.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s the full, 30-second advertisement, which is narrated by the actress Julia Roberts. Watch:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Julia Roberts" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7J339jGTOLM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s actually impressive they managed to jam so much insanity into one 30-second advertisement. According to Julia Roberts, the voting booth is &#8220;the one place in America where women still have a right to choose.&#8221; Outside of the voting booth, women can&#8217;t make any decisions for themselves. Women are completely controlled by men, 24/7, in every aspect of life — except in the voting booth on Election Day. That&#8217;s their one, precious moment of freedom. It’s not like they’re free to make choices every moment of every day, all the time. No, they have no freedom to choose anything, except on the ballot. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If that&#8217;s true, it raises the obvious question of how Julia Roberts was able to do the voiceover for this advertisement. What man told her to do that, against her will? Who exactly is holding Julia Roberts hostage and making her embarrass herself like this? Surely, she couldn&#8217;t have made the decision to read these lines on her own. After all, she&#8217;s a woman, and she&#8217;s not in a voting booth. So, by the advertisement&#8217;s own terms, we can only assume that Julia Roberts is tied up in a basement somewhere. Or maybe she&#8217;s being blackmailed. The possibilities are endless. And none of them are good. </span></p>
<h3><strong><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not to mention, if the patriarchy has successfully banned women from making any choices in life at all, then how do women still have the right to vote? That seems like a rather significant oversight by the patriarchy. It’s almost like the patriarchy doesn’t exist. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But aside from that, there are about a million other problems with it. You&#8217;ll notice that, in the ad, the conservative man has the hat with the American flag and the bald eagle. He seems like a patriotic, friendly guy. And his wife&#8217;s hat has an American flag, too. But then we learn that the wife is only pretending to be patriotic because her husband is abusive or whatever. Really, she identifies more with the mysterious woman across from her, who&#8217;s not wearing any hat. The two women exchange a knowing glance. And then the man&#8217;s wife walks away with the mysterious woman, like they&#8217;re going on a date or something.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So far, the two messages this ad is sending is that conservatives are patriotic, and that Democrats think women have no agency whatsoever. They&#8217;re supposedly too cowardly to speak their own minds to their own husbands, or to make their own decisions about anything. And this particular ad is coming from a nonprofit that says it wants to appeal to &#8220;Evangelical and Catholic voters,&#8221; because, apparently, &#8220;evangelical and Catholic&#8221; voters are in the habit of lying to their spouses. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As insulting as this is, again, it would be a mistake to dismiss this ad as merely tone-deaf and patronizing, although it&#8217;s obviously both of those things. The ad is actually saying something important, which is that one of the goals of the Democrat Party is to turn spouses against one another. They want women to keep secrets from their husbands, and to see their husbands as some kind of threat. Democrats are pushing this message because ultimately they want to destroy marriages and families, which are the single greatest threat to their political power.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A couple of days ago, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1463-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I talked about this effort</a> in the context of Democrats&#8217; last-minute pitch to win over male voters. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michelle Obama delivered a 30-minute </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEe4ujgHapk" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">speech</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in which she repeatedly told men that their role is to be subservient to liberal women. The only time she talked about improving the lives of men was when she was telling them to kill their children. If you kill your child and destroy your family, Michelle Obama said, then you can go to college. And then you can be a miserable, screeching activist who&#8217;s loyal to the Democrats, instead of your own children. Watch:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Michelle Obama" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SqQZzV1o2jM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As with everything else we hear from prominent figures in the Democrat Party, nothing exists in isolation. It&#8217;s all part of a broader, collective message. Every single agent of the party has to push the same exact script at all times. Michelle Obama didn&#8217;t come up with her anti-family message, anymore than that nonprofit came up with its anti-family message. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They&#8217;re all working in concert to push the same rhetoric that ultimately leads to the enactment of policies like this one, in California:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="003 California" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XLv_kxmpgtA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So over the past couple of years in California, various school districts were requiring that administrators notify parents if their child starts identifying as transgender. That&#8217;s a policy that makes sense for a lot of reasons. One of them is that children who think they were born in the wrong body are about a million times more likely to suffer from serious mental health conditions. They&#8217;re also almost certainly being influenced by their teachers or their peers — neither of whom care about these children. They care about an ideology. The only people who actually care about the children in this scenario, in basically every single case, are their parents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But in California, the state thinks it knows better than parents. Here&#8217;s just one example of how that plays out. In 2019, mother in California named Abigail Martinez lost her 16-year-old daughter to suicide, after she says her school and the Department of Children and Family Services pressured her daughter to &#8220;transition&#8221; into a boy. Authorities placed Martinez&#8217;s daughter in foster care because she wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;affirm&#8221; her daughter&#8217;s new gender identity. She didn&#8217;t see her daughter again until she deliberately sat down on some railroad tracks and was hit by a train. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s an excerpt of the mother&#8217;s remarks, where she outlines the horror that the state of California put her family through:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Gender Ideology" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/al7wtGCeb8w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This woman&#8217;s daughter probably wouldn&#8217;t be dead today if the state of California hadn&#8217;t taken custody of her child. And by the way, if you watch her full remarks, you&#8217;ll hear that even after her daughter committed suicide, the state still treated this mother like a criminal. These people are ruthless in their efforts to destroy families and ruin the lives of children. That&#8217;s why California just made it a law that prevents schools from mandating these kinds of parental notifications.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But Gavin Newsom sees it differently. Newsom&#8217;s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/16/california-trans-school-law-parents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spokesman said</a>: “This law helps keep children safe while protecting the critical role of parents. It protects the child-parent relationship by preventing politicians and school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters and attempting to control if, when, and how families have deeply personal conversations.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So if you&#8217;re following the doublespeak, the state of California is &#8220;protecting the child-parent relationship&#8221; by making it easier for schools to hide critical information from parents about the mental state of their children. The more secrets there are, the better.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the same message that nonprofit was pushing in that advertisement with Julia Roberts. Democrats want family members to treat each other with suspicion and contempt so that, eventually, families collapse. It&#8217;s the same reason the Soviets encouraged people to report their relatives for wrong-think. When families are gone, the state can move in to fill that power vacuum. This is the plan that Democrats, with the help of former celebrities like Julia Roberts, are now attempting to execute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The problem they&#8217;re having is that they&#8217;re being extremely obvious about it. At a time when trust in the Democrat Party has never been lower, they&#8217;re pitching themselves as your surrogate family. It&#8217;s as heavy-handed and unappealing a pitch as you can imagine, but it&#8217;s clearly what they&#8217;re going with. And in less than a week, we&#8217;ll find out exactly how well that pitch works out for them.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Julia Roberts narrated a new ad for </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kamala Harris</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> targeting the wives of </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> supporters, encouraging them to secretly vote for the Democratic candidate without telling their spouses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The video ad features a husband and wife decked out in red, white, and blue entering a voting center. In the video, the husband says, “Your turn, honey,” as the woman walks into a </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election"><span style="font-weight: 400;">voting booth</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The woman is shown locking eyes with another similarly dressed woman voter across from her and smiling as the camera shows both of them fill in the circle for Harris and Tim Walz.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roberts says in the narration, “In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The campaign ad continues as the two women leave the voting booth. One husband asks, “Did you make the right choice?” to which she responds, “Sure did, honey,” before sharing a knowing look with the other woman who voted for Harris.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ad was made by Vote Common Good, which claims to be working to lead Evangelical and Catholic voters away from the Republican Party. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their mission statement </span><a href="https://www.votecommongood.com/what-and-why/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">says</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “Many Evangelical and Catholic voters have been taught that to be faithful, they must vote for Republican candidates regardless of the candidate’s character or policy positions. In recent years a significant percentage of these voters have watched the Republican party disregard a commitment to the common good as they support political and social movements rooted in white-nationalism, a misguided approach to ‘America First,’ and practices of division.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The statement also mentions January 6, calling it a “treacherous insurrection.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8216;Many Evangelical and Catholic voters are experiencing a reckoning of their faith and feel called to oppose policies and approaches of division, racism, selfishness, cruelty, and exclusion,” it says on their website. “For many of these voters, their primary commitment is not to switch parties; it is to be faithful to their beliefs and convictions and make the common good their voting criteria.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reactions to the cringe ad campaign have been largely negative.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is a terrible message. You hashtag Christianity and evangelicals and tell women to be dishonest with their significant other.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Not to be criticizing others&#8217; choices, but for me to not take off my clothes in a movie or be vulnerable in physical ways is a choice that I guess I make for myself,&#8221; Roberts said. &#8220;But in effect, I&#8217;m choosing not to do something as opposed to choosing to do something.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m watching a lot of documentary things,&#8221; Roberts said. &#8220;I mean, I love documentaries, but I watched this documentary series, &#8216;Quarterback.&#8217; It has changed my life, I think. Because I&#8217;m a big football fan.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The quarterback, you think like, &#8216;Oh, he shows up and throws the ball around.&#8217; I mean, that&#8217;s what I thought. That&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; Roberts continued. &#8220;I felt a kinship because I feel like my homework when I&#8217;m working it never ends. There&#8217;s always some other elements, some other thing to learn, to figure out, to get ready for to, you know, whatever it is, and so I kind of felt like I understand you, Patrick Mahomes.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Look — we&#8217;ve seen quarterbacks mic&#8217;d up for a game. We&#8217;ve certainly seen training camp,&#8221; Hall of Fame quarterback and &#8216;Quarterback&#8217; Executive Producer Peyton Manning told Netflix. &#8220;But we’ve never followed a quarterback throughout the entire season to see what he does Sunday night after a big win, after a brutal loss on a last-second field goal — what they do on Mondays and Tuesdays on their off days.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Are they hanging out? Are they playing golf? Are they in the weight room and watching film and grinding for that next game?&#8221; he added. &#8220;Which is the answer, by the way, not to give it away. There is no golf in the season.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hollywood star Molly Ringwald explained recently why she turned down the lead role of the 1990s hit &#8220;Pretty Woman&#8221; that ultimately went to superstar Julia Roberts and said there was &#8220;something icky about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>During an interview with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/apr/24/i-was-projected-as-the-sweet-american-girl-next-door-it-wasnt-me-molly-ringwald-bites-back">The Guardian</a>, the 55-year-old actress talked about the early days of her career in the 80s — marked by appearances in such coming-of-age movies like &#8220;Sixteen Candles,&#8221; &#8220;Pretty In Pink,&#8221; and &#8220;The Breakfast Club.&#8221; Ringwald said she had wanted to take on &#8220;darker roles&#8221; but found it challenging.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t really feel like darker roles were available to me,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;The ones that I wanted to do, I didn&#8217;t get. I was too young for certain roles. I was at this weird in-between stage.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The &#8220;Pick Up Artist&#8221; star said one such role she turned down was that of Vivian Ward in the movie starring Roberts and Richard Gere.</p>
<p>&#8220;Julia Roberts was wonderful in it, but I didn&#8217;t really like the story,&#8221; Ringwald explained. &#8220;Even then, I felt like there was something icky about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another movie she said she got turned down for was the lead role in Mike Nichols&#8217; &#8220;Working Girl&#8221; which ended up going to Melanie Griffith, who was about ten years older.  The movie is about a young girl trying to get out of the secretary ring and climb the corporate ladder.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;She really needs to be at that moment where you feel the pain,'&#8221; Ringwald recalled the director telling her. &#8216;&#8221;You have your whole life ahead of you – nobody&#8217;s going to believe that of you.'&#8221;</p>
<p>At one point, the actress admitted she was just never really comfortable with the fame she found early in her career and admitted others are better at dealing with living in the spotlight.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to grow up under that,&#8221; Ringwald said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to overdo this – and boohoo, I fully recognize my privilege – but I needed to get out from under all that scrutiny. I just wasn&#8217;t cut out for it in a way that certain other people are. Some people are really good at it. Taylor Swift is amazing! But I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable with that level of stardom.&#8221;</p>

Molly Ringwald Explains Why She Turned Down Lead Role In ‘Pretty Woman’

<p>&#8220;America&#8217;s Sweetheart&#8221; actress <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/hollywood-a-lister-says-mlk-actually-paid-her-moms-hospital-bill-when-she-was-born/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Roberts</a> learned she might not actually be a Roberts during a wild revelation on Ancestry&#8217;s &#8220;Finding Your Roots.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a DNA test and extensive research into <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/julia-roberts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roberts&#8217;</a> family tree, historian Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. explained to Roberts that the man she had always believed to be her great-great-grandfather — Willis Roberts — had actually passed away more than ten years before her great-great-grandmother Rhoda Suttle Roberts gave birth to the son who would become her great grandfather.</p>

<p>&#8220;Digging into Georgia’s County archives, we discovered that sometime in the 1850s, Rhoda married a man named Willis Roberts,&#8221; Gates explained. &#8220;Julia carries Willis’ last name, but Willis passed away in 1864, over a decade before Rhoda gave birth to Julia’s great-grandfather, John, leading to an inescapable conclusion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gates added that while Rhoda kept her married name and gave it to her son — John Pendleton Roberts — Willis Roberts could not have been the father. &#8220;Julia, Willis Roberts could not possibly be your great-great-grandfather, he was dead.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Pretty Woman&#8221; star was visibly taken aback by the revelation, responding, &#8220;But — wait — but am I not a Roberts?&#8221;</p>
<p>Gates went on to say that there were no records anywhere that shed light on who might actually have been John&#8217;s father, leaving them no recourse but DNA to trace her family history further.</p>
<p>A search cross-referencing Roberts&#8217; DNA and the DNA of one of her father&#8217;s first cousins against a publicly available database was what finally gave them a clue: they found &#8220;a cluster of matches&#8221; that ultimately linked Roberts and her father&#8217;s cousin through just one man: Henry McDonald Mitchell Jr.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we&#8217;re Mitchells?&#8221; Roberts asked, laughing.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re Julia Mitchell,&#8221; Gates nodded. &#8220;You are not a Roberts biologically.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I bet nobody knew,&#8221; Roberts replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, everybody near that farm knew,&#8221; Gates pressed, adding, &#8220;Because her husband wasn&#8217;t there and she was still having babies.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow,&#8221; from Roberts. &#8220;Is my head on straight still? Am I facing you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Gates went on to explain why Roberts&#8217; great-great-grandmother might have chosen not to tell anyone who John&#8217;s birth father was, noting that historian records indicated that Mitchell was married — with children of his own — when John was born.</p>
<p>&#8220;Truly my mind is blown,&#8221; Roberts responded. &#8220;It is fascinating and, on the other hand, there’s, you know, part of me that, you know, that when I’m calmer, you know, can still wrap my arms around the idea that my family is my family.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-was-broken-matthew-perry-reveals-the-reason-he-dumped-julia-roberts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roberts</a> sat down with &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/gayle-king/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gayle King</a> in late September, and during the wide-ranging conversation, the &#8220;Erin Brockovich&#8221; actress explained the connection between her parents — who ran a theater school in Atlanta — and MLK and his wife, Coretta Scott King.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Today is Julia Roberts birthday! 55 years ago MLK and Coretta Scott King paid for her parents hospital bill after she was born. Can’t stop thinking about this since I read it.

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s start with the day you were born,&#8221; King said, asking, &#8220;Who paid for the hospital bill?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay, her research is very good,&#8221; Roberts said, flashing a smile and prompting King to interrupt: &#8220;We&#8217;re professionals.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is &#8230; ah, the King family paid for my hospital bill,&#8221; Roberts continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not my family,&#8221; King laughed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not your family —&#8221; Roberts agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Martin Luther King Jr. —&#8221; King prompted.</p>
<p>&#8220;And Coretta,&#8221; Roberts said.</p>
<p>&#8220;How did that come about?&#8221; King asked, turning to the audience and adding, &#8220;Did you guys know that about Julia Roberts? &#8230; That&#8217;s what I said! Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King &#8230; why did they do that?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Obviously because my parents couldn&#8217;t pay for the hospital bill,&#8221; Roberts began, adding, &#8220;My parents had a theater school in Atlanta called The Actors and Writers Workshop.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One day Coretta Scott King called my mother and asked if her kids could be part of the school because they were having a hard time finding a place that would accept her kids,&#8221; Roberts said, noting that at the time, segregation made it difficult for black students to find theater schools that would accept them — especially if there were also white students at the same school.</p>
<p>&#8220;My mom was like, &#8216;Sure, come on over,'&#8221; Roberts continued. &#8220;And so they just all became friends, and they helped us out of a jam.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, because in the 60s you didn&#8217;t have little black children interacting with little white kids in acting school and your parents were like, &#8216;Come on in,'&#8221; King replied. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s extraordinary.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roberts, who just celebrated her 55th birthday on Friday, has recently been out promoting her latest film alongside actor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-clooney/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Clooney</a>: &#8220;Ticket to Paradise.&#8221;</p>

Hollywood A-Lister Says MLK Actually Paid Her Mom’s Hospital Bill When She Was Born

Actress Julia Roberts Says MLK Actually Paid Her Mom's Hospital Bill When She Was Born

Martin Luther King Jr.

<p>Over 20 years after their relationship ended, &#8220;Friends&#8221; star <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/there-is-a-hell-matthew-perry-says-hes-been-there-admits-he-spent-nearly-10-million-to-get-sober/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Perry</a> revealed why he broke it off with &#8220;Pretty Woman&#8221; star <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/julia-roberts-reveals-the-key-to-a-long-happy-marriage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Roberts</a> — after just two months — all those years earlier.</p>
<p>Perry, 53, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/10/24/matthew-perry-reveals-why-he-broke-up-with-julia-roberts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed the topic</a> in his soon-to-be-released memoir titled &#8220;Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing&#8221; — which hits shelves on November 1 — and revealed that his own insecurities had been the driving force that caused him to put an end to the relationship.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Whole Nine Yards&#8221; star said that despite the fact that he was starring in a hugely popular sitcom at the time, he still felt like Roberts was &#8220;slumming&#8221; when she chose to go out with him. &#8220;Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts,&#8221; Perry continued, adding that he couldn&#8217;t &#8220;begin to describe the look of confusion on her face&#8221; when he called it quits.</p>
<p>The actor, who struggled for decades with the substance abuse problems that almost killed him, said that he was always afraid when he was in relationships — he never knew who really valued him and who might only be dating him because of his money and fame.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was me afraid,&#8221; Perry told <a href="https://people.com/tv/matthew-perry-looks-forward-to-being-a-husband-and-father/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE Magazine</a>, explaining that he was almost always the one to end relationships. &#8220;That is what I manifest, something that&#8217;s wrong with them. And then I break up with them &#8230; But there can&#8217;t be something wrong with everyone. I&#8217;m the common denominator. I left first because I thought they were going to annihilate me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Friends&#8221; star, now 18-months sober, said that he has overcome the fear and is looking forward to possibly having a family.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not afraid of love anymore, so the next girl I go out with better watch out,&#8221; adding that he&#8217;s confident he could be a good father. &#8220;I grew up with a lot of little kids around me, and that’s probably why, but I can’t wait.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hollywood star Julia Roberts shared her key to a long, happy marriage to husband cinematographer Daniel Moder for 20 years, and that&#8217;s making out frequently.</p>

News</a>, she talked about her secret to a happy marriage to Moder, with whom she shares three children.</p>
<p>&#8220;I always say that same thing and I&#8217;m sticking with it,&#8221; Roberts shared while promoting the film. &#8220;It&#8217;s making out. Lots of making out.&#8221;</p>

<p>Roberts recently celebrated being a homemaker with the black dress she wore at her first romantic comedy premiere in 20 years in London. The actress hit the premiere of her and Clooney&#8217;s new film wearing a black tuxedo jacket with a floor-length black dress that contained embroidered graffiti messages of &#8220;hope,&#8221; &#8220;love,&#8221; and &#8220;darling&#8221; all over it.</p>
<p>In addition, her dress had the initials of her children&#8217;s names, Hazel, Phinnaeus, and Henry, along with their birth years embroidered throughout.

<p>&#8220;As they get older, and particularly with my daughter, I do have a sense of responsibility for showing my children that I can be creative and that it&#8217;s meaningful to me — so meaningful that for periods of time I will choose to focus on that almost more than my family, which has been hard for me to come to terms with,&#8221; Roberts continued.</p>
