Upon receiving his award at the Emmys, Colbert was quoted stating, “Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. Ten years later, in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!”
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.

Only at Walt Disney World could something this outrageous happen—a robbery straight out of a Hollywood heist film.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
