American livestreamer Johnny Somali, whose legal name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, has been sentenced by a South Korean court to six months in prison. The ruling followed a series of incidents that authorities said disrupted public order. The decision was issued by the...
A disturbing rumor spread across social media this week claimed that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling had been diagnosed with cancer. While Rowling’s representatives quickly clarified that the story was false, the damage was already done. The so-called “joke” triggered a wave of glee from hostile corners of the internet — the same sort of vile celebratory rhetoric seen daily since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In the days following the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Hollywood figures and entertainment insiders continue to reveal where they stand on one of the most disturbing political killings in modern American history. The latest voice to emerge and attack Charlie Kirk is Lilly Wachowski, the co-creator of The Matrix and a biological male who identifies as female.
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.
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.
It is one of the strangest stories we’ve covered, perhaps ever, on That Park Place. Billy Dee Williams, known for his role in the original Star Wars trilogy as Lando, came out with amazing responses to the Charlie Kirk tragedy via his Facebook page. They were pro-human, pro-living, and fully empathetic. Yet days later, Williams has released a statement claiming his page was “hacked” and none of those views are his own.
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.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time turning the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk into a political weapon against President Trump.
Instead of using his ABC platform to reflect respectfully on this horrible event, Kimmel chose to attack President Trump..Again. This time over what he perceives as the president’s failure in calling for unity in the wake of tragedy. The problem? Kimmel has never been a voice for unity himself. In fact, his career has been built on stoking rage and mocking conservatives, making his lecture to Trump ring hollow.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, emotions are running high across the country. But while family, friends, and supporters are mourning, some high-profile voices have shown the dangers of rushing to judgment without checking the facts. One of the most prominent cases came from bestselling author Stephen King, who posted a claim on social media about Charlie Kirk that has since been proven false.
Back in December 2021, actor Michael B. Jordan sat down with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks for an interview about his role in Marvel’s Black Panther. The conversation turned to Killmonger, the antagonist Jordan brought to life on the big screen. When asked point-blank whether Killmonger should be considered a villain, Jordan gave an answer that raised eyebrows then—and is now reigniting fierce debate today.
In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the social media platform BlueSky has become a disturbing showcase of deranged political rhetoric. Instead of mourning or condemning the violence, many users are celebrating Kirk’s death—and going further by demanding that other figures within the conservative spectrum be targeted next. The combination of BlueSky and Charlie Kirk has revealed a horrifying trend: online mobs openly fantasizing about assassinations with no accountability.
The tragic death of Charlie Kirk has shaken political and media circles alike. Yet the fallout has already exposed sharp divisions about how to react, and who gets to claim the moral high ground. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, long known for his scathing barbs aimed at conservatives like Charlie Kirk, is now urging Americans to stop “angry finger-pointing.”
The founder of Kotaku openly mocked the death of Charlie Kirk just hours after a tragic shooting took the conservative commentator’s life.
