Only at Walt Disney World could something this outrageous happen—a robbery straight out of a Hollywood heist film. In the early hours of Monday morning, a thief in scuba gear allegedly robbed Paddlefish at Disney Springs and then swam away and escaped. Authorities say he made off with between $10,000 and $20,000 before vanishing into the waters surrounding the restaurant.
When it comes to self-importance, Hollywood never disappoints. Sunday night’s Emmy Awards tried something different: host Nate Bargatze set up a clever gimmick where Hollywood celebrity winners could either help raise money for kids in need or — if they couldn’t keep their mouths shut — siphon funds away. And guess what happened? Hollywood Emmy speeches proved exactly why so many people can’t stand award shows anymore.
In the wake of the tragic assassination Charlie last week, outrage has erupted over Bethesda, a major video game studio, being accused of mocking his death online. The post in question has since been deleted, but as of this writing, Bethesda has not issued an apology or statement addressing the backlash.
Elizabeth Banks just had her second major awards-show faceplant at the Emmys, and this one might be even funnier than the last.
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Banks was tapped to present Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Rather than simply introduce the nominees and let the moment speak for itself, she tried to make it into a feminist statement. Banks proudly pointed out that five of the six nominees were women, touting it as a big cultural milestone.
Cue the punchline: the one man nominated — Philip Barantini, for Adolescence — immediately won.
Stephen King made headlines this past week, but not for his writing. The famed horror author found himself at the center of controversy after spreading misinformation about Charlie Kirk in the hours following Kirk’s tragic assassination. Just as the nation was processing the shocking news from Utah, King rushed to social media to falsely accuse Kirk of advocating for the stoning of gay people.
Rosie O’Donnell is no stranger to controversy, especially when it comes to Donald Trump and conservative figures. But her latest social media activity crosses into dangerous territory. Just days after the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Rosie O’Donnell chose to amplify a claim that had already been proven false — a claim so inflammatory that even horror author Stephen King, who first spread it, was forced to walk it back and issue an apology.
A Sonic the Hedgehog artist is gaining infamy online for mocking the Charlie Kirk tragedy.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, remains a raw wound in America’s political and cultural landscape. Across the nation, supporters mourned the loss of a conservative leader who had dedicated his life to speaking out on campuses and defending traditional values. But not everyone responded with respect. In fact, some celebrated.
Among those voices was a figure tied to Sega’s flagship family-friendly brand, Sonic the Hedgehog.
In a stunning turn of events, The Walt Disney Company has once again been found guilty of copyright infringement after a federal appeals court reversed a prior ruling that had cleared the entertainment giant. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the original jury verdict, declaring that Disney bears responsibility for using stolen technology in one of its blockbuster films.
DC Comics has confirmed that its relationship with writer Gretchen Felker-Martin, a biological male who identifies as female, is finished. The Red Hood series was cancelled before it could reach a second issue (or a second day in publication…), and the writer has now responded with fresh comments that leave no doubt: there are no regrets.
Universal Orlando is officially moving forward with long-anticipated changes inside Islands of Adventure, with the resort confirming that construction work will soon begin in the long-dormant Lost Continent area. This ultimately paves the way for what could be the next big themed land inside the park.
MSNBC has shown political analyst Matthew Dowd the door after his divisive comments on the Charlie Kirk tragedy — and now he’s lashing out at those he feels deserve the blame.
The longtime commentator was fired in the wake of his controversial remarks following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah. Dowd insists he’s been wronged, claiming his ouster was less about what he said and more about what he calls the influence of the “right wing media mob.”
On September 12, 2025, guests arriving at Walt Disney World were greeted by a somber sight. The American flags across the resort, including the prominent flagpole at Magic Kingdom’s Main Street USA, were flying at half-staff. This move by Disney World comes in accordance with national and state orders to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder who was tragically gunned down during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University earlier this week.
