Jennifer Lopez is currently attached to executive produce the Disney+ limited series. The project is currently under development from Skydance Television, Concord Originals and Nuyorican Productions. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and the Selena actress' manager Benny Medina will executive produce for Nuyorican along with Sophia Dilley and Scott Pascucci for Concord Originals and Bill Bost. The Handmaid's Tale producer and The Baby-Sitters Club creator Rachel Shukert will produce and serve as showrunner. 
_
The original animated Cinderella hit screens in 1950. In 1957, the Rodgers and Hammerstein production starring Julie Andrews made waves on Broadway. Disney previously adapted the composers' version of the tale. In 1997, Whitney Houston and Brandy costarred in the television movie as the fairy godmother and Cinderella, respectively. Famous tunes from the show include "Impossible," "Ten Minutes Ago" and "In My Own Little Corner."
_
Most recently, Camila Cabello, Billy Porter and Idina Menzel starred in a 2021 musical version of Cinderella for Prime Video. However, the updated version was a vast departure from the original Disney film and the Broadway show. The flick incorporated songs by Janet Jackson, Madonna and a track written by the "Senorita" singer: "Million to One."

Brittany Snow Spills on Her New Netflix Series

_
Brittany Snow is opening up about her role on the new Netflix show The Hunting Wives. The actress portrays East Coaster Sophie, who moves to East Texas with her husband but struggles to navigate the cultural differences while integrating into a new social circle.

The Hunting Wives was originally set to air on Starz, but Netflix later secured the rights to the project. "I have to admit, when I found out that it got sold to Netflix, there was a definite feeling of excitement and gratitude, coupled with an insane amount of nausea," Brittany Snow told TheWrap. "I was aware that even more people were going to see this and hopefully love it, but also judge it."
_
The Hunting Wives is based on May Cobb's book of the same name. It follows Sophie and her husband, Graham, as they build a new life in Texas. But the couple is forced to navigate scandal, open marriages and a potential murder mystery that make their transition rockier than expected. "We want it to be noisy. We want it to be disruptive," Brittany Snow said. "We did not shy away from anything, as people will see. And so it's really just up to us to own it and feel proud of it, which I think we all really, really do."
_
Brittany Snow's Sophie hears the wives of her new community criticize immigration, reproductive services and more but manages to hold her own while being the new girl in town. "She definitely has opinions, especially at the beginning of the story, but she's not judgmental, and she's more curious," Snow said of Sophie. "It would be a totally different show if she was completely closed off and judgmental about these women — and about the culture and about the religion and the guns — but she's actually more willing to explore it because she's coming from such a low place in her life."
_
Brittany Snow noted that her intimate shots for the show were a powerful experience as an actress. "The s** scenes are brave for me, because as a woman, I needed to explore my own s***** autonomy and being proud of my body, and I think that Sophie is as well," she said. "I'm really proud that I've gotten to the place in my life where I'm able to do these types of scenes and explore these things."

Trump Goes on Social Media Spree Amid Epstein Fallout

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall
12:43pm PDT, Jul 22, 2025
_
President Donald Trump has once again taken to Truth Social to launch a series of explosive posts targeting everyone from former President Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton and major media outlets. 

Keep reading for more on his latest claims… 

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news

_
President Donald Trump, who has recently faced backlash over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, is drawing renewed attention for his latest posts on social media. In Truth Social message, he labeled Barack Obama a "major threat" to the United States, claiming, "Obama himself manufactured the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX." However, he didn't stop there. Trump went on to name-drop several longtime political rivals, writing, "Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and numerous others participated in this, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY! Irrefutable EVIDENCE. A major threat to our Country!!!"
_
President Donald Trump's renewed focus on the 2016 election comes after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleged that Barack Obama officials engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy." In response, Trump posted 19 times about the accusations, insisting that intelligence was "manufactured" to frame him for Russian interference. Hours after his initial post, Trump shared a clip of Fox News' Laura Ingraham discussing the alleged "Russia hoax" — and later reposted another Ingraham segment focused on his political nominees.
_
However, President Donald Trump's online offensive didn't end with political opponents. He also took aim at the media and revisited his June airstrikes on Iran. Referencing a recent Fox News interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Trump quoted the official acknowledging "severe" damage to Iran's nuclear sites: "Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on the Iran Nuclear Sites: 'Damages are very severe, they are destroyed.' Of course they are, just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary! As interviewed by Bret Baier," Trump wrote. "Fake News CNN should immediately fire their phony 'reporter' and apologize to me and the great pilots who 'OBLITERATED' Iran's nuclear sites. CNN is a major ratings loser, as is MSDNC!"

Trump Terrified of Epstein Files Drama

by Molly Claire Goddard Wonderwall
12:22pm PDT, Jul 22, 2025
_
According to one MSNBC anchor, Donald Trump is shaken over the Jeffrey Epstein fallout. After the president received backlash over his lack of transparency in the investigation into the late predator, journalist Lawrence O'Donnell claimed Trump is terrified over the matter.

Keep reading to learn what the news anchor said about the situation…

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news
_
During a broadcast of MSNBC's The Last Word, Lawrence O'Donnell seemed to think Donald Trump is more spooked by the Jeffrey Epstein drama than he's letting on. "The other way Donald Trump communicates his fear is silence, which is also what he's been doing. And so, judging by his silence, Donald Trump is living in abject terror tonight of the Epstein files. Donald Trump spent the day in silence today about the Epstein files," he said. O'Donnell then highlighted how the Republican leader's "obsessive, relentless social media posts" are a perfect example of how "terrified" Trump really is of the situation. "The man who loves to have the cameras aimed at him while he plays with questions from reporters without ever actually answering them didn't dare allow reporters to get anywhere near him today," the anchor added.
_
Donald Trump went on a few nonsensical rants on social media as the headlines continue to focus on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Instead of addressing the matter, the right-winger went on a tirade about the name of the Washington Commanders football team. "My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way. I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," he wrote. In another tactic to get people's attention off of him and his alleged ties to the late financier, Trump claimed former president Barack Obama committed "treason" and vowed to go after his political adversaries. "After what they did to me — right or wrong — it's time to go after people," the businessman raged during a meeting in the Oval Office.
_
Donald Trump has been on the defense since his Republican base criticized him and the Department of Justice for deciding to close the Jeffrey Epstein case. "My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls***,' hook, line and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will, even after being conned by the lunatic left for 8 long years," he wrote on Truth Social. "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats' work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!"

Epstein Victim Accuses Trump of Lying

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall
11:47am PDT, Jul 22, 2025
_
​​Maria Farmer — an artist who has publicly accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of assault — is now calling out President Donald Trump's administration, accusing them of "lying" about his alleged involvement with the disgraced financier.

Keep reading for more on the alleged encounter… 

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news
_
In a recent interview on CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront, Maria Farmer recounted a 1995 visit to Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan office, where she claims she had an unsettling interaction with Donald Trump. Farmer said she was in the office when she noticed a "tall, imposing" man — someone she immediately recognized as the future president. "He walked up a few feet from me and just stood over me in a very imposing way," she recalled. "And he looked at me like he was in on some secret or something. It was really weird, like smirking. And I felt threatened."
_
Maria Farmer said she responded to Donald Trump's demeanor by making an "ugly" face, which prompted him to "back off." She said Jeffrey Epstein then turned to Trump and told him, "Oh no, she's not here for you, follow me." That comment alone raised red flags for Farmer. As Trump walked away, Farmer claims she heard him mutter under his breath, "Oh, I thought she was 16." At the time, she dismissed it as a rude remark, possibly about her age as a young artist — but now, believes there may have been a darker implication.
_
President Donald Trump has denied any involvement or wrongdoing related to Jeffrey Epstein. In a recent interview with NBC News, he dismissed the allegations outright. "That's called 'old news.' That's been old news. That has been talked about for years. Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it — it's old news." White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also disputed Maria Farmer's account, telling CNN, "The president was never in Epstein's office, and in fact, the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep."
_
Maria Farmer, however, refuses to stay silent. She pushed back against President Donald Trump's denials, claiming the statements are untrue. "They're being disrespectful to the fact I have given up my entire life for this case, just to have it investigated. I'm really sorry for him, that he's caught… but he's lying, I don't appreciate it." She added, "He was absolutely at the offices, it was 9 o'clock at night and I thought it was inappropriate. But also, they were best friends at the time."

Colbert Hits Back at Donald Trump After Firing

by Katherine Tinsley Wonderwall
10:57am PDT, Jul 22, 2025
_
Stephen Colbert slammed Donald Trump in a monologue on The Late Show after CBS decided to cancel the long-running series following their controversial settlement with the president. While the network never mentioned Trump in their announcement, the timing of Colbert's firing is fueling rumors.

Keep reading for the details…

Stephen Colbert publicly criticized CBS' parent company, Paramount, for settling their lawsuit with Donald Trump for $16 million. Days later, the news broke that the network axed his show. "Folks, I'm just going to go ahead and say it: Cancel culture has gone too far," Colbert said in a monologue. He noted that the news was beginning to "sink in." He then joked of CBS, "But they made one mistake. They left me alive!"
_
Stephen Colbert mentioned that Donald Trump celebrated his firing on social media. "On Friday, Donald Trump posted, 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,'" the comedian shared.
_
"How dare you, sir?" Stephen Colbert said in response to Trump's comments. "Would an 'untalented' man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?" The late-night host turned to a camera labeled "Eloquence Cam" before delivering his punchline: "Go f*** yourself," Colbert said to an audience of cheerful viewers.
_
CBS asserted that the cancelation of The Late Show was "purely a financial decision." But Stephen Colbert has pushed back at the assertion. "How could it be purely a financial decision if The Late Show is No. 1 in the ratings?" Colbert asked. "Yeah, it's confusing. A lot of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff's parents and spouses."
_
In his Truth Social post, Donald Trump predicted Jimmy Kimmel would be the next late-night host to receive a cancelation notice. "No, absolutely not, Kimmel," Stephen Colbert joked. "I am the martyr, OK? There's only room for one on this cross, and I gotta tell you, the view is fantastic from up here."

Trump Rages Over Epstein Files

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall
10:34am PDT, Jul 22, 2025
_
President Donald Trump, who has long faced public pressure to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, is now suing The Wall Street Journal after the outlet published a story allegedly linking him to the late predator.

Keep reading for more on his response… 

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news
_
The Journal article centers on a collection of 50th birthday messages allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein by his associates in 2003. The album, reportedly compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, was examined by Justice Department officials, according to the report. "Pages from the leather-bound album — assembled before Epstein was first arrested in 2006 — are among the documents examined by Justice Department officials who investigated Epstein and Maxwell years ago, according to people who have reviewed the pages," the outlet claimed, citing sources familiar with the contents. The article added, "It's unclear if any of the pages are part of the Donald Trump administration's recent review."
_
Among the birthday wishes, the report highlights an alleged letter from President Donald Trump, which features a text accompanied by a provocative illustration of a woman sans clothing. "It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a [woman without clothing], which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker," the Journal noted. "A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's b******, and the future president's signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking p**** hair." The note concludes with a final message, "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."
_
After the article's release, President Donald Trump announced that he plans to sue The Wall Street Journal, its parent company News Corp and Rupert Murdoch directly. "I'm gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else," he said, denying that he wrote the card in question.

Jon Stewart Reacts to Trump's Birthday Card to Epstein

by Molly Claire Goddard Wonderwall

Just like the rest of the public, Jon Stewart wishes he hadn't seen the alleged note from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. During a broadcast of The Daily Show, the comedian slammed the lewd message The Wall Street Journal claims the president penned for the late s** offender for his 50th birthday in 2003.

Keep reading for Stewart's response to the wild report…

When Jon Stewart got behind the news desk, he made it clear he was not amused by the note Donald Trump allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein that featured a woman sans clothing. Quoting the letter, the funnyman began, "'Every day is another wonderful secret.' I f****** threw up in my own mouth on that one." Continued the comedian, "Every line in that card sounds like the password you have to use to get into the [s** party] in Eyes Wide Shut. How much must it have sucked to be the next guy in the office that had to sign that Epstein birthday card — 'You want me to just… You want me to sign it right by the p**** hair, or just by the little t******?'"


_
Following The Wall Street Journal's report, Donald Trump sued the publication for $10 billion, claiming the salacious note was not written by him. "This is not me," the right-wing politician said. "This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words." Trump continued by threatening to take legal action: "Just like I sued everyone else," he said.
_
Donald Trump's name can be found in the ledger along with typewritten text in the latter he claims was not written by him for Jeffrey Epstein. "Inside the outline of the [woman without clothes] was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person," The Wall Street Journal alleged. The message reportedly reads, "Donald: Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is. Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." The passage continues, "Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Jon Stewart Rips Paramount Over Colbert's 'Late Show' Cancelation

_
Jon Stewart slammed CBS' decision to cancel Stephen Colbert's show and The Late Show franchise.

Keep reading for the details…

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news
_
CBS claimed canceling The Late Show was "purely a financial decision," but the announcement came days after host Stephen Colbert criticized Paramount's $16 million settlement with Donald Trump.

"Shows that say something, shows that take a stand, shows that are unafraid — this is not a 'We speak truth to power.' We don't," Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show about the timing. "We speak opinions to television cameras. But we try. We f****** try, every night.

"And if you believe, as corporations or as networks, you can make yourself so innocuous that you can serve a gruel so flavorless that you will never again be on the boy king's radar — a.) why will anyone watch you? And you are f****** wrong," he added.
_
Jon Stewart noted that Stephen Colbert's show is extremely popular, which is why he's confused about the current situation.

"Watching Stephen exceed all expectations in the role and become the No. 1 late-night show on network television has been an undeniable great pleasure for me — as a viewer and as his friend," Stewart said.

_
Jon Stewart later compared ending The Late Show to the old movie rental store Blockbuster.

"We're all basically operating a Blockbuster kiosk inside of a Tower Records," he noted. "When CDs stopped selling, they didn't just go, 'Oh, well, music, it's been a good run.'"

"This is not the moment to give in," Stewart said, as rumors spread that Paramount could cancel The Daily Show. "I'm not giving in. I'm not going anywhere — I think."

In an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert joked that CBS "made one mistake: They left me alive."

The comedian later hinted that he will use the final months of filming to be transparent about his opinions about Donald Trump and the nation.

"And now for the next 10 months, the gloves are off," he told the audience.

America's late-night hosts are railing against Paramount and Donald Trump all while mocking the viral Coldplay moment.

Following the shocking cancelation of Stephen Colbert's The Late Show, many of comedy's finest gathered together to make fun of Trump — who allegedly has to sign off on the company's merger with Skydance — and CBS with a perfectly timed kiss cam skit.

Upon Stephen Colbert's return to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City following the cancelation of his show, Lin-Manuel Miranda and "Weird Al" Yankovic showed up during the broadcast to perform a song that would "cheer up" the audience. The two announced they'd be singing a Coldplay song, in honor of the couple who were allegedly caught cheating on the kiss camera at the band's Massachusetts show.

While Miranda and Yankovic started performing "Viva la Vida," the shot panned to CNN's Anderson Cooper and Watch What Happens Live's Andy Cohen, who jokingly shared a smooch.

The camera then glazed over The Tonight Show star Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers star Seth Meyers, who sipped on beers and cheered on the host.

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and Last Week Tonight's Jon Oliver were also spotted in the audience.

However, in the most poignant and hilarious moment, the shot panned to a cartoon version of Donald Trump canoodling with the Paramount logo.
_
Following the skit, Stephen Colbert sat down and realized a letter had been left on his desk.

"Guys, stop," the comedian said to a confused Lin-Manuel Miranda, "Weird Al" Yankovic and the audience. "I just got this note from corporate. Your song has been canceled."

"It says here this is a 'purely financial decision.' It says here that since you started playing that song, the network has lost — and I don't know how this is possible — $40 to $50 million," Colbert continued, mocking CBS' statement about the cancelation of The Late Show.

"Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on," the Hamilton creator sarcastically asked.

"There's nothing in here that mentions that," the host added before poking fun at what the company said about him despite canceling the program. "It says some very nice things about you guys. 'Performance, quality, stature, irreplaceable. Signed, yours truly, the Paramount family of global entertainment properties and A.I. weapons systems.' What? That's new."


_
Stephen Colbert announced that CBS and their parent company Paramount was canceling The Late Show after 33 years, with the final episode airing in May 2026.

"This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," CBS Studios President David Stapf, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach and CBS President and CEO George Cheeks said in a joint statement. "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

The axing of the series comes as the company needs a sign-off by Donald Trump and the Federal Communications Commission for their merger with Skydance.

The television star recently criticized the network for settling a $16 million lawsuit with the Republican leader, calling it a "big, fat bribe."

While Jon Stewart will host The Daily Show at the start of the week, staff writer and correspondent Josh Johnson will be behind the news desk Tuesday through Thursday.

Following the shocking cancelation of Stephen Colbert's The Late Show after CBS and Paramount settled a $16 million lawsuit with Donald Trump, speculation ran rampant that Jon Stewart could be next on the chopping block.

"The fact that CBS didn't try to save their number one rated late-night franchise that's been on the air for over three decades is part of what's making everybody wonder, was this purely financial or maybe the path of least resistance for your $8 billion merger," Stewart said slamming the company during a broadcast of the Comedy Central series. "If you believe you can make yourselves so innocuous, so flavorless, you are f****** wrong."

"Shows that say something, shows that take a stand, shows that are unafraid — this is not a 'We speak truth to power.' We don't," he continued. "We speak opinions to television cameras. But we try. We f****** try, every night.

In a stunning move by CBS and Paramount, Stephen Colbert announced The Late Show would be coming to an end in May 2026 after being on the air since 1993.

After Donald Trump rejoiced about the decision, the host ripped the businessman to shreds. "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? "Go f*** yourself," Colbert said during a recent broadcast.

Marc Maron Reveals Details on Jon Stewart Feud

4:35pm PDT, Jul 21, 2025
_
Marc Maron revealed in an interview that he has an ongoing feud with comedian Jon Stewart, as the duo previously worked on Comedy Central's Short Attention Span Theater.

_
"I always have a nemesis… like most of that is fueled by resentment, insecurity, jealousy, or whatever," Marc Maron explained on "Wild Card with Rachel Martin," in reference to Jon Stewart, who was his predecessor on Short Attention Span Theater.

"It's habit and it's the never-ending sort of, you know, struggle against acting out of insecurity… or resentment, self-acceptance," Martin continued.
_
Marc Maron replaced Jon Stewart on Short Attention Span Theater, and the show was canceled shortly after. Though Short Attention Span Theater was axed, Jon Stewart became a household name through The Daily Show.

"I always used to think it was just 'cause he committed to a haircut and… a way of presenting. But like, he was just everywhere," Maron said of Stewart. "And he was a standup but… he was everywhere… He was the king of the thing… politics, satire, whatever."
_
Marc Maron said he contacted Jon Stewart, but things didn't go as he hoped.

"I reached out to him, and I remember… he called me back. I was in a hotel room in Portland," Maron shared. "And he goes, 'Hey, you know, it's, it's Jon Stewart.' I'm like, 'Hey man, how you doing?'"

Joe Scarborough Weighs in on 'Late Show' Cancelation 

by Katherine Tinsley Wonderwall

_
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reacted to CBS pulling the plug on The Late Show franchise after Stephen Colbert criticized parent company Paramount for settling their lawsuit with Donald Trump.

_
CBS credited the decision to finances, which Joe Scarborough agreed with.

"The economics of the late night shows just didn't make the kind of sense that it's made for the past 50 years through Jack Paar, the age of [Johnny] Carson, of course [David] Letterman, you go on and on," Scarborough said on Morning Joe.

"So, the economics were making less and less sense, but the timing of this actually is terrible, and it's terrible because you had the settlement with Donald Trump, and then you had [Stephen] Colbert and Jon Stewart criticizing that decision," he continued. "And then a week later they're saying, 'Oh, unfortunately we don't have the money to continue this.'"
_
The timing of the announcement created rumors about why Stephen Colbert's really ended.

"I mean, it's not even like they're trying to hide the main purpose of it," the host continued. "I mean, it's certainly, again, you can make that economic argument, but that economic argument should've been made weeks before this or should've been made a couple months down the road. This just makes it look completely connected with the 60 Minutes settlement."
_
Willie Geist pointed out that the broadcast world is struggling.

"It's true that there's trimming happening all over the place at broadcast networks. There are late-night shows having to give up their bands and things like that," Geist explained. "But Stephen Colbert two nights ago on his show called that settlement on the 60 Minutes interview a bribe. He was very critical on the air of Paramount."

"And then about 48 hours later, you have this decision coming down that his show would be canceled," Geist noted.

_
In his announcement, Stephen Colbert admitted he was disappointed by the news.

"Yeah, I share your feelings," Colbert said, while his studio audience reacted. "It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of The Late Show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away."

Ellen DeGeneres Reveals Why She Moved to the U.K.

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall

Ellen DeGeneres just made her first public appearance since relocating to the U.K. — and she said the move was sparked by one reason: President Donald Trump.

_
After spending the past year out of the spotlight, Ellen DeGeneres opened up about her decision to move abroad. Speaking to Ricard Bacon, the comedian recalled arriving in the U.K. just before the 2024 U.S. election.

"We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in'," she said, according to the BBC. "And we're like, 'We're staying here.'"
_
While Ellen DeGeneres said President Donald Trump's re-election played a role, she also fell in love with the slower pace and life in the U.K.

"It's absolutely beautiful," she said. "We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture — everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life."

Giving more detail, she explained, "It's clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here."
_
The former talk show host also expressed concern over growing threats to LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S., referencing efforts to reverse same-s** marriage protections.

"The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage," Ellen DeGeneres said. "They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it."

She then revealed she and wife Portia de Rossi are exploring their options. "Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here," she added.

Rosie O'Donnell Blasts Trump Over Colbert Cancelation 

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall

_
Rosie O'Donnell is taking aim at President Donald Trump following news that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in 2026.

The outspoken comedian didn't hold back, claiming the president wants to "arrest every artist that disagrees with him."

Rosie O'Donnell has long been vocal about her disdain for President Donald Trump — and now, she's sounding off again in the wake of The Late Show's cancelation.

While CBS reportedly cited "financial reasons" for the decision, O'Donnell believes there's more to the story.

In a 10-minute TikTok video, she accused Trump of being "mentally incapacitated" and suffering from dementia.

"I think Americans should stand up and say, no way. You're not going to silence us," she declared. "You don't have the right to silence us. You never did. And you never will."

"What will take? He's gonna arrest every artist that disagrees with him and pretty much every artist does. Whether or not they're brave enough to say it is another thing," O'Donnell added. 
_
Following the announcement, President Donald Trump, for his part, celebrated the cancelation of The Late Show on Truth Social.

"I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings," he wrote. "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show."

Stephen Colbert later shared his disappointment online, revealing he found out while on vacation.

"As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended, and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company. But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help," he said, referencing Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump.
_
Following Rosie O'Donnell's comments, President Donald Trump fired back at the comedian — who currently resides in Ireland.

"Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" he exclaimed.

Nick Offerman Says He Avoided Fights With MAGA Costar

Nick Offerman, who is a vocal critic of Donald Trump, opened up about what it was like working with MAGA supporter Dennis Quaid on Sovereign.

_
During a Reddit AMA, Nick Offerman shared things were "tricky" between them, but he stressed that he still respects Dennis Quaid.

The Parks and Rec star shared there is "nuance" in their situation, but he leans on a "message of empathy and true patriotism into the work that I do."
_
Nick Offerman declared Dennis Quaid is "a fantastic actor whom I've looked up to my whole life" and is "better in this film than almost anything I've seen him in." 

He later stressed that while at work, Offerman isn't asking Quaid about political controversies.

"Good morning, Dennis," Offerman joked. "How about those Epstein files? Anyway, want to run our lines?"
_
Nick Offerman said he doesn't dislike his costar due to his political beliefs.

"Dealing with Trump supporters in the world is something I try to handle with nuance, because I know many others around the states who are very good people and citizens and would give you the shirt of their back," Offerman explained. "They are on the receiving end of an absolute firehose of misinformation, so it's really cognitively dissonant (impossible) to engage in rational discourse."

_
During the election, Dennis Quaid joined Donald Trump's campaign trail and spoke at a rally in California.

"We were a nation in decline. That's what they told us," Quaid said. "Ronald Reagan came along and said, no, we're not a nation in decline. We're going there. And we followed him. The same with Trump, with President Trump. My favorite president of the 21st century."

GOP Senator Thinks Leftists Are Making Donald Trump Sick 

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall

_
Senator Tommy Tuberville believes President Donald Trump's recent health concerns are tied to mounting stress from his political opponents.

Keep reading for more on his latest hypothesis … 

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more
_
Speaking on New York's WABC 770 AM, Tommy Tuberville blamed President Donald Trump's health issues on the Left.

"The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities […] all over the world, but also fighting the radicals in this country," he said. "Every day, it's almost like a fistfight."
_
Tommy Tuberville's comments come after the White House confirmed that doctors recently diagnosed President Donald Trump with chronic venous insufficiency — a condition that affects blood flow in the legs and is common in people over 70.

The diagnosis helps explain Trump's noticeably swollen ankles, which had sparked concern and speculation online. 
_
President Donald Trump made headlines after viral photos showed his ankle appearing swollen during the Club World Cup soccer final.

In response, the White House medical unit conducted a thorough evaluation "out of an abundance of caution."

President Trump's physician, Sean Barbarella, confirmed there was "no evidence" of blood clots or arterial disease. "All results were within normal limits," the memo stated. "An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart function, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified."

Gabbard Makes Shocking Claims About Obama

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall
1:20pm PDT, Jul 21, 2025
_
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is leveling explosive claims about former President Barack Obama's administration. 

Gabbard alleges that Obama officials conspired to undermine President Donald Trump's 2016 election victory — and she says she has the documents to prove it.

Keep reading for more on her comments… 
MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more
_
During an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Tulsi Gabbard revealed that more information would be made public as early as "next week."

"We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who would be in a position to do something about it," Gabbard said.

Ahead of the interview, she reportedly accused Barack Obama's administration of being part of a "treasonous conspiracy" tied to Russia's alleged involvement in the 2016 U.S. election.
_
Tulsi Gabbard emphasized that her mission is to hold individuals accountable — and potentially seek prosecution.

"Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic," she said. 

In 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and a Senate report determined that Russia did interfere in the election in an effort to help President Donald Trump win the presidency.  

"Accountability, action, prosecution, indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again."
_
Tulsi Gabbard's claims have already sparked backlash from political opponents, who are calling her allegations "utter nonsense."

Connecticut Congressman Jim James voiced skepticism, writing on X, "Odd that then CIA Director Pompeo didn't say any of this. Or that none of the six DNIs in Trump's first term said any of it."

Adding, "Once again, Tulsi Gabbard is trashing her own people in an attempt to regain Trump's favor or to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Probably both."

Jasmine Crockett Calls Donald Trump a 'Wannabe Hitler'

by Isabella Torregiani Wonderwall

_
Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett is making headlines after calling President Donald Trump a "wannabe Hitler," slamming what she describes as blind loyalty from Republican leaders.

Keep reading for more on her comments… 

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more
_
In a recent interview with MSNBC, Jasmine Crockett criticized GOP officials for continuing to follow President Donald Trump's lead despite growing controversies.

"They want to show they're loyal to this, you know, I don't even know what to call him," she said. "I've called him so many things, but wannabe Hitler for sure."
_
Jasmine Crockett also accused President Donald Trump and his allies of trying to suppress information surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"[Republican officials] want to pledge their loyalty to him, and they know that he does not want this released," Crockett said.

Trump has recently faced backlash for not releasing related files, calling them a "hoax."

"I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody," the president stated. "It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring, and I don't understand why it keeps going."
_
President Donald Trump has reportedly entertained conspiracy theories suggesting Jeffrey Epstein's death was a cover-up, not a suicide.

However, the FBI recently released a memo about the convicted s** trafficker's death and claimed he did not maintain a "client list" of co-conspirators.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi seemingly hinted that she had a list of names on her desk, though she later clarified she was referring to the Epstein case directly. 
_
As public backlash over the FBI memo continues, Jasmine Crockett believes that President Donald Trump's allies will continue to fall in line.

"I think they are also concerned about the damage that it may do. If he's trying to hide it, they understand that it is most likely problematic for him as well as the MAGA brand," she said.

"I don't anticipate that they will be on board for doing anything that may harm them or their fearless leader," she added.

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news
_
Donald Trump has been a vocal critic of journalists and comedians who don't approve of his administration, which is why the CNN star isn't surprised at Stephen Colbert's recent firing.

"Obviously, President Trump has made no secret of his hatred of being mocked —specifically, the jokes that people like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel make at his expense," Jake Tapper said on CNN.
_
While CBS didn't mention Donald Trump in the announcement, the timeline continues to fuel speculation.

"Paramount is in a bend-the-knee phase," Jake Tapper shared. "Paramount is attempting to please President Trump as Paramount's Shari Redstone waits for the Trump administration's blessing for a lucrative merger with a company called Skydance."
_
CBS executives have said their decision to end Stephen Colbert's show "is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late-night" broadcasting.

However, Elizabeth Warren and Senator Adam Schiff have asked the network to confirm that their decision wasn't done to please Donald Trump.
_
Donald Trump sued CBS over their 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, but legal experts call his claims "substantively very weak," as Trump accused the network of editing the interview to "tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party" before the election.

"Paramount was determined to settle with the president, and it's that timing that CBS was no doubt attempting to head off in their announcement of the termination of the Colbert show — which was doing very well in ratings, by the way," Jake Tapper stated.

Trump Brags Epstein Hoax Has Boosted His Poll Numbers

by Molly Claire Goddard Wonderwall

_
Donald Trump claims the Jeffrey Epstein drama is working to his advantage.

Despite many Republicans criticizing the president for the lackluster investigation and deciding to close the probe into the late s** offender, Trump took to his Truth Social to claim his poll numbers are going up.

Keep reading to learn exactly what the Republican leader said about his right-wing supporters…

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more
_
Despite what Donald Trump is labeling the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," the politician claimed he's only gaining support from the right.

"My poll numbers within the Republican party and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the radical left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers,'" Trump penned. "They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls and are all Republican party records. The general election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like strong borders and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!"
_
Although many would think Donald Trump was exaggerating with his claim, CNN's Harry Enten showed the data to prove conservatives are still backing him despite the Jeffrey Epstein drama.

"This one surprised me a bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files, you might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans. If anything, they're going up!" the reporter explained during a recent broadcast. "Republicans who approve of Trump — look at our CNN poll. The prior one, 86 percent. The one out this week, 88 percent with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac? The prior poll, 87 percent approval for Republicans. This week out, 90 percent with Republicans. If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex, or close in terms of his popularity with Republican voters."
_
Donald Trump has been extremely defensive over people calling him out for the lack of transparency over the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls***,' hook, line and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will, even after being conned by the lunatic left for 8 long years," the businessman wrote in a Truth Social update. "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats' work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!"

During a meeting with the press in the Oval Office, Trump added, "Some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net and so they try to do the Democrats' work."

Pete Hegseth Loses Another Top Pentagon Aide

Pete Hegseth continues to lose employees at the Pentagon.

One of the Defense Secretary's senior staffers and advisers Justin Fulcher will be exiting his government job after Hegseth dismissed many of his top aides following a probe into numerous leaks that have happened.

Keep reading to learn the alleged circumstances around Fulcher's departure…

_
According to multiple insiders who spoke to CBS News, Justin Fulcher — who was promoted to his role at the Pentagon from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency in April — was allegedly "ousted" from Pete Hegseth's team. However, his public statement claims otherwise.

"As planned, I've completed six months of service in government to my country," Fulcher wrote in an update shared to X. "None of this could have happened without Secretary Hegseth's decisive leadership or President [Donald] Trump's continued confidence in our team. I will continue to champion American warfighters in all future endeavors."

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell also said in a statement, "The Department of Defense is grateful to Justin Fulcher for his work on behalf of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. We wish him well in his future endeavors."
_
After a string of leaked text messages about highly classified issues were made public, Deputy Chief of Staff Darin Selnick, Senior Adviser Dan Caldwell and Chief of Staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, Colin Carroll, were fired in April.

"There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary's leadership," an insider claimed to Politico about Pete Hegseth and his staff.

A source also alleged some are worried the 45-year-old "has surrounded himself with some people who don't have his interests at heart."
_
Per NBC News, Pete Hegseth also removed the Naval Academy's first female superintendent, Yvette Davids, from her job. However, the admiral wasn't demoted or forced to retire from military service. Instead, she was nominated to serve in a different role.

In April 2025, Hegseth raved about terminating the Pentagon's Women, Peace and Security program. "This morning, I proudly ENDED the 'Women, Peace & Security' (WPS) program inside the [Pentagon]. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/[Joe] Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING," he wrote on social media. "WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it. Troops HATE it. DoD will hereby executive [sic] the minimum of WPS required by statute and fight to end the program for our next budget. GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!"

According to The Daily Beast, John Oliver called CBS' decision to pull the plug on Stephen Colbert's program "terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy."

The Late Show — which first premiered in 1993 with David Letterman — built a legacy within the television industry. CBS canceled the series after Colbert publicly criticized their decision to settle their lawsuit with Donald Trump, but the network claimed it was "purely a financial decision."

John Oliver said he's enthusiastic to see what Stephen Colbert pulls off in the final episodes.

"I'm partly excited to see what they're gonna do for the next ten months," Oliver gushed.
_
"I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show," Oliver admitted. "Late-night shows mean a lot to me, not just because I work in them, but because even growing up in England, I would watch [David] Letterman's show, which of course was Stephen's show, and think about what a glamorous world that was."
_
Despite fans' disappointment, John Oliver hinted at Stephen Colbert starting a new project once The Late Show franchise ends.

Donald Trump continues to go head-to-head with The Wall Street Journal.

After the president sued the publication for claiming he once wrote an unsavory birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, Trump went after them again for alleging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attempted to convince him not to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The Wall Street Journal recently claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke with Donald Trump about why he thought it wasn't the right move to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell from his duties.

"Bessent said firing Powell was unnecessary because the economy is doing well and markets have responded positively to the president's policies, according to one of the people familiar with the matter," the publication claimed in their report. "Bessent also reminded Trump that Fed officials have signaled they could cut rates twice before year's end, this person said."

In response, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to dismiss the accusation that Scott Bessent was influencing his decision regarding Jerome Powell.

"The Wall Street Journal ran a typically untruthful story today by saying that Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, explained to me that firing Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, the worst Federal Reserve Chairman in history, would be bad for the market," the Republican leader alleged. "Nobody had to explain that to me. I know better than anybody what's good for the market and what's good for the U.S.A. If it weren't for me, the market wouldn't be at record highs right now, it probably would have CRASHED! So, get your information CORRECT. People don't explain to me. I explain to them!"

Donald Trump took legal action against The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, Rupert Murdoch, as well as other executives, after they ran a story claiming the right-winger went in on a lewd 50th birthday gift — an alleged crass drawing and note left in a collaborative book — for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

"This is not me," The Apprentice star claimed about the publication's report about the alleged message. "This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words."

Trump emphasized how he would be going after the outlet in the courts, stating, "Just like I sued everyone else."
