Pink issued an extensive statement on Friday addressing the backlash she faced for resharing a post calling out Macklemore for his pro-Palestine comments and demanding he be removed from Ed Sheeran’s ongoing tour. In a lengthy post on Instagram Friday, the singer-songwriter said that the post she had shared “said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them,” further stating that “I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.” “I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve…

The 59th season premiere of 60 Minutes will dedicate a segment to Donald Trump’s controversial use of the presidential pardon. The segment is the third and final segment to be revealed from the premiere episode, following Jon Wertheim’s profile of the Los Angeles Rams and coach Sean McVay, and Norah O’Donnell’s exclusive interview with the U.S. pilot who was shot down and rescued in Iran. But it is Lesley Stahl’s segment, “The Pardon Economy,” that may end up raising the most eyebrows. “Presidents have pardoned criminals since the time of George Washington. It’s a constitutional power that has been controversial…

Sebastian Stan spoke out against growing “negativity” while discussing his upcoming film at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday. The actor, who stars as a conservative father and husband in the Cristian Mungiu-directed film Fjord, revealed that the current climate is one of the things that “really pushes my buttons.” “It’s just this negativity that, like, we are unfortunately getting normalized with at the moment,” Stan said at The Hollywood Reporter’s Studio at 1 Hotel during TIFF, presented by sponsor Canada Goose. “The most blatant example is online. It’s just so lazy and it’s so unfortunate because you see…

On Sept. 11, 1967, The Carol Burnett Show premiered during the 10 pm hour on CBS, kicking off a 278-episode run that claimed 25 Emmy wins over a decade-plus. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below: One might say that a new Carol Burnett has arrived on the TV scene, and we don’t mean just her new short haircut. In previous outings, particularly the old “Entertainers” series, Miss Burnett’s antics were confined to slap stick characterizations with her mugging propensity as the chief laugh-getter. Here, she’s matured as a well-rounded comedienne who can pull the stops for subtle approaches to…

There has never been a great film about September 11, 2001. There should be. For 25 years, artists and audiences have been processing the attacks onscreen. But something is still missing. You’re a moral person, I’m sure. So you may think no one should ever make a movie about 9/11. The sorrow of that day is unfathomable. Its consequences still reverberate across our brutal world. It would be respectful to leave it alone. But I love movies too much to think about this logically. Before 9/11, the deadliest attack on American soil was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Thanks to…

Arriving at a time when accountability would appear to be an increasingly scarce commodity, The Housewife, which was handed its world premiere on the opening night of the Toronto International Film Festival, shares a lot with last year’s fest entry, Nuremberg, with its themes of complicity and the thorny pursuit of justice. Set in New York two decades after the end of the Second World War, the first feature by Canadian filmmaker Ben Shirinian with a compelling script by Alyssa Hill, follows a New York Times reporter’s investigation of a war criminal believed to be living a “simple life” in…

“So the FCC won’t let me be/Or let me be me, so let me see/They try to shut me down on ABC/but it feels so empty without me.” — Jimmy Kimmel, sort of. On Thursday night, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show posted its James Talarico interview to YouTube. While there’s nothing unusual about sharing host Jimmy Kimmel’s interviews to YouTube, the strange part about this particular interview is that the guest segment never aired on ABC — the FCC shut that down real fast. Kimmel on Wednesdaytold his audiencethat his show would move the Talarico interview to YouTube. “Out of…
