bitchy | Donald Trump’s ‘presidential walk of fame’ traded a Biden photo for a pic of the autopen

Things that genuinely happened this week: Donald Trump could not pronounce “acetaminophen,” the drug he was making wildly false claims about in a White House press conference; Trump’s teleprompter malfunctioned in the middle of his United Nations speech, so he ranted incoherently and told other countries that they’re all going to hell; Trump lied about ending seven wars and he furiously lied about the Trump recession, which is already here; he threatened to deport highly-skilled immigrants working legally in the US on H-1B visas; he threw a tantrum when the UN escalator was turned off and he had to walk up one flight of stairs; he had a statue of himself and Jeffrey Epstein removed from outside the White House; he threw an unhinged tantrum about Jimmy Kimmel’s lifted suspension and openly threatened Kimmel and Disney. And I’m not even mentioning like twenty other ridiculous, demented and catastrophic things connected to Trump just this week.

Well, most normal people would look at a list like that and say “this man is profoundly unwell, we need to put him in some kind of nursing home where he can rant at the television all day.” Trump’s staffers never feel that way though, they continue to humor this despicable and ancient felon. Speaking of, White House staffer (“Special Assistant to the President”) Margo Martin tweeted this video on Wednesday, of the White House’s newly installed Presidential Walk of Fame. It’s an outdoor (???) photo exhibit of past presidents. Instead of including a photo of Joe Biden, Trump and his people used a photo of the autopen.

Again, Donald Trump panic-filled his diaper because he had to walk up a flight of stairs just 24 hours before this video was posted. He ranted about a broken teleprompter and an escalator which was turned off by someone on his own staff. That’s the guy mocking Joe Biden’s presidential capabilities.

EXCLUSIVE: Traitors’ Fame Sufi Motiwala Comments On People Claiming Reality Shows Are ScriptedEXCLUSIVE: Traitors’ Fame Sufi Motiwala Comments On People Claiming Reality Shows Are Scripted; States, “Koi Aake Yeh Nahi Bolta Gaali Do”

Sufi Motiwala’s journey took a bold step forward with his appearance in the debut show Traitors, where he showcased his dynamic personality and creative flair. Since then, he has continued to build his voice as a critic and creator in the fashion space. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Sufi opened up about why he signed ‘Traitors’ and shared with us something that nobody knows about reality shows.

Talking about why he signed a reality show, Sufi said, “When you sign a reality show, you have to do it with the awareness that the whole point is for people to talk about you. That’s why I find it very duplicitous when people sign projects, go through with them, and then later behave like victims — blaming it on the edit and whatnot. I think that’s just bogus.”

He continued, “The reason I signed a reality show was because I wanted people to watch me, talk about me, follow me, and get in tune with my journey. Otherwise, why the hell would you even sign it? That’s just part of the process, and you have to live it. The key to a reality show is to live it — the friendships you make, the enemies you make, everything. You just have to see it through, and eventually, it all fades away. Honestly, I don’t think people even remember anything in the long run.”

When asked about what is the one thing that people don’t know about reality shows, Sufi replied, “On reality shows, people always keep claiming “scripted, scripted, scripted,” just because the show follows a certain plotline. But here’s the thing, most captivating reality shows cannot be scripted, because they are controlled. There’s a difference between being scripted and being controlled. “

He went on to explain further by saying, “Controlled meaning ki uss ghar mein voh aise situations create karte karte hai, aise haalat create karte hai, aise statements bulwaate hai jisse bhasad mache ya reaction mile ya plot aage badhe. but whatever people are doing, they’re doing out of their own volition, their own thinking, their own zubaan, that’s all them. “

Sufi ends it by saying, “Koi aake yeh nahi bol raha ki isko gaali do, show pe sab jo bhi kar rhe hai khudh hi se kar rhe hai, bas situations production create kar raha hai”

Carmelo Anthony Thanks Son & Daughter In Hall Of Fame Speech

written by jummy84

It was a significant weekend for Carmelo Anthony and his basketball career legacy. The former Nuggets player got inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday (Sept. 6), and brought his children, Kiyan and Genesis Anthony, with him for the moment! As he made his way into the venue, the Associated Press reports that “Melo! Melo!” chants welcomed him. Anthony retired from the NBA in 2023 with a bittersweet video on social media.

Carmelo Anthony Credits His Son & Daughter In Speech

As soon as he touched the stage at the induction, Anthony appeared emotionally overwhelmed. He teared up over the energy in the air and the full-circle moment of reaching the basketball Hall of Fame against all the odds stacked against him growing up in Brooklyn and Baltimore.

“Tonight I just don’t step into the Hall of Fame, I carry the echoes of every voice that ever told me I couldn’t. I walk with the shadows of every alley, every cracked court, every empty plate. I stand for the dreamers, the doubted, the dismissed, for every soul trapped in a place where I broke free from…I had to build a new road. I had to write a new ending,” Anthony reportedly said.

Aside from thanking his parents, his siblings, Syracuse University, the NBA, and others, he also name-dropped his children, Kiyan and Genesis.

“Raising children in this world is revoluntionary. I didn’t just want to be a basketball player. I wanted to be a model of redemption, of accountability, of love. My kids saved me,” he said, pointing to them in the crowd. “They gave me a reason to move past ego, past noise, past criticism. They reminded me that legacy isn’t what you leave behind, it’s what you lift up.”

More Details About Carmelo’s Two Kids

Melo’s fans are familiar with his firstborn, Kiyan Anthony. The former pro-athlete and La La Anthony, whom he later married in 2010 and divorced in 2021, welcomed their son in March 2007. Over the years, the separated parents have come together to celebrate their mini-me. That includes his basketball games and his high school graduation in May. On the court, he’s a four-star shooting guard. He’s following in his father’s footsteps this fall after committing to Syracuse University and its college basketball team. Most recently, the 18-year-old went viral after flexing his relationship with 22-year-old Angel Bradley.

Kiyan is also an older brother to Genesis Anthony, whom Carmelo welcomed with Mia Burks in  August 2017. At the time, he was still married to La La. According to PEOPLE, the married couple separated briefly in April 2017 and reconciled in late 2018 before she filed for divorce in 2021. Burke was public about Carmelo’s paternity, but he held his tongue on their parenting affairs, per PEOPLE. In May 2023, he publicly confirmed being a father of two while announcing his retirement from the NBA. He included a picture of Kiyan and Genesis in the video. His daughter’s sighting at the induction is one of the most recent and rare. Carmelo and Mia celebrated her birthday last month with a Knicks-themed party.

Dwight Howard Also Inducted Into Hall Of Fame

Carmelo Anthony wasn’t the only honoree on Saturday. Dwight Howard also cemented his legacy with a Hall of Fame induction. Despite his playful nature on the court, he’s one of four players with three Defensive Player of the Year awards. In his speech, he lovingly mentioned his mother’s sacrifices.

“My mother lost seven children and he allowed me to bring sunshine into her life,” he said. “I’m just honored to stand in front of you as one of the greatest basketball players ever.”

Even his wife Amy Luciani, who entered the picture following his retirement from the NBA after the 2021-22 season, got a shoutout as she sat in the crowd supporting her man, her man, her man! “I love you, and I’m truly blessed to have you a part of my life,” Dwight said. Their public reconciliation comes after several accusations she made against him in June, all of which he denied the following month.

Additionally, in his Hall of Fame speech, Howard shared a motivational message with the audience: “This is your universe, this is your one song. How do you want your song to sound when people hear it? Will they want to throw it out or run it back? And remember, you only die once, but you live every day.”

Carmelo Anthony Inducted Into Naismith Basketball Hall Of Fame: Photos

written by jummy84

Carmelo Anthony has officially been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, cementing the former Olympian and NBA star as one of the greatest basketball players of the new millennium.

On Saturday (Sept. 6), Carmelo Anthony accepted the honor at the annual Hall of Fame ceremony, which took place at Symphony Hall in Springfield, Massachusetts. Fellow NBA legends Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade welcomed Anthony into the hall, with both players sharing their experiences competing with and playing alongside the Brooklyn native.

During his induction speech, Anthony reflected on his basketball journey, expressing gratitude to those who have inspired him and helped him along the way. At one point, he credited his children, son Kiyan Anthony, and daughter Genesis Anthony as being the driving forces in his life.

“Your father isn’t perfect, but he is proof that struggle doesn’t mean surrender,” Anthony said, speaking directly to them. “Proof that the road can be rough and still lead to glory.”

He continued, emotionally adding, “Raising children in this world is revolutionary. My kids saved me. They gave me a reason to move past ego, past noise, past criticism. They remind me that legacy isn’t what you leave behind, but what you lift up.”

A former high school standout and McDonald’s All-American, Anthony attended the University of Syracuse for one year, leading the program to their first NCAA basketball championship in the school’s history. Leaving Syracuse after his freshman year, the swingman was selected third overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2003 NBA Draft, quickly becoming one of the most electrifying talents in the league. Spending several years with the Nuggets, Carmelo was traded to the New York Knicks in 2011, where he helped lead the downtrodden franchise back to relevance.

Following his time with the Knicks, Anthony spent stints with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trailblazers, and Los Angeles Lakers before retiring in 2023. Considered one of the premier scorers of his era, Anthony’s accolades include three Olympic gold medals, ten NBA All-Star selections, and a league scoring title. He was named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team in 2021, an honor only bestowed upon those regarded among the greatest to have played the game.

Lil Nas X’s Father Blames Fame for Son’s Recent Breakdown and Arrest

by jummy84 September 2, 2025
written by jummy84

Lil Nas X‘s father, Robert Stafford, has spoken out following the arrest of his son last week. Stafford discussed the incident with The Times over the weekend, describing the rapper’s breakdown as the price of fame.

“I understand how the music business is,” Stafford said. “It’s like a high. When you get to that level, you want that drug again, you want to hit that high again.”

Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested and charged with four felonies on Aug. 21. The rapper pleaded not guilty after he was accused of charging at Los Angeles police officers while roaming the streets of Studio City in his underwear and a pair of cowboy boots in a disconcerted state. He was released on a $75,000 bond after spending the weekend in jail, which was conditional on him attending drug treatment.

Stafford told The Times he blamed both the “pressure” of success and being a provider for his family for his son’s breakdown. Hill’s mother has battled addiction for many years. In 2021, she was filmed begging for food on a street corner in Atlanta.

“For a 26-year-old to have to deal with what he’s dealing with — to be a breadwinner for a lot of people, the inability to change his mother’s situation and the pressure he puts on himself…” Stafford said. He added that Hill has tried to help his mother, but she has declined the offers. “That can weigh heavily on your heart,” Stafford said.

Stafford said he flew to Los Angeles in the wake of the arrest to support his son. “I went to visit him in jail and as soon as I walked through that door, I couldn’t do anything but cry,” Stafford said. “To see my baby boy on the other side of that glass. We shed tears with each other for a minute. And I had to tell him that ‘What you’re going through is normal.’ We all have breakdowns every now and then, but the difference is, yours get played out in the public eye. When I went to visit he asked me to say, ‘Tell everybody I’m sorry they saw me like that.’ Even in that moment, he was apologizing to people for something he was going through.”

He added, “Hopefully, this is a turning point in his mental stability. Sometimes God will take you through your worst moment to give you your best moment.”

Last week, Hill shared an explanation with fans in an Instagram Story. “Your girl is gonna be OK, y’all,” he said. “OK? She’s gonna be all right. Shit. That was fucking terrifying. That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is gonna be all right.”

Prior to his arrest, Hill shared a series of bizarre posts on Instagram, which sparked concern, though some predicted he could be amping up controversy ahead of a new music era. He shared unreleased music and mirror selfies, plus artwork and piles of miscellaneous objects in what appeared to be his home. The arrest quelled rumors that he was engaging in a marketing stunt.

Michael Urie was a medical marijuana tester before Ugly Betty fame

Michael Urie was a medical marijuana tester before starring in Ugly Betty.

Ugly Betty star Michael Urie

The 45-year-old star – best known for playing Marc St. James in the hit dramedy series – applied for the role 20 years ago with his friend after spotting the position advertised in the Village Voice magazine.

But while his pal did not get chosen due to health problems, Michael was taken on.

He told Chelsea Handler – who “tried” to get a job as a marijuana tester “so many times” – on a recent episode of her Dear Chelsea podcast: “It was in the Village Voice, and it was a joke.

“We would always joke about it like, you know, they have these ads in the Village Voice, ‘Are they real?’

“And I just answered one. And actually, my good friend, my dearest friend, and I, we were roommates, and we both answered it. And he had this kind of like brain thing.

“It’s not that serious, but at the time, he was like having some seizures and stuff. And so he did not get accepted. And he was so p***** because he had this one little tiny anomaly, and I did get accepted.”

Michael said the experience of testing strains at different strengths was “wild”.

He continued: “And I would go in, it was wild. It was a wild thing. I would go into a hospital, and I would sit in a hospital room, and it was a double blind test.”

The Single All the Way star said he even got “high as f***” and “paranoid” when he did the trials.

Michael added: “So the person administering it to me did not know what they were giving me. And it was always a different level of strength.

“So like one time, I got just high as f***, and I was so stoned, and I was like loopy, like rolling around in the hospital and playing with all the different things.

“This young lady stayed with me, and she made sure … I remember when I would get really high, the days I would get really high, I’d be like, I think it’s double blind, but maybe it’s not. Maybe that’s just what they say.

“And I get paranoid, and then I would take these tests. So they would put me in front of a computer, and I would take these cognitive tests that would be like, a shape would pop up, it’s a triangle or whatever, and fill in the blank.

“Sometimes I was really good at it, and sometimes I wasn’t.

“And then there were days when it was like a placebo.”

And the Shrinking star said marijuana helps him to learn his lines.

He said: “It’s true when you’re stoned that you don’t remember things.

“But I have started, well, I’ve been doing it for a while now, but when I have to learn lines, like a big chunk of text or something, or a scene, I will do it high.

“I will learn it high.

“And then immediately when I’m high, and I try to, if I say, ‘Will you run this with me?’ I won’t be able to do it.

“But then when I go back to it later, sober, it’s there.”

Janelle James on Abbott Elementary, Fame, Emmys

written by jummy84

It’s not easy to make audiences fall in love with a character who behaves terribly, but that has been the bread and butter of the guest on the 600th episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter, which was recorded in front of an audience at Chapman University: stand-up comedian and actress Janelle James, who is best known — and currently Emmy-nominated for the fourth time — for playing Ava Coleman, the narcissistic, incompetent, morally compromised, toxic, but somehow still lovable principal at a Philadelphia K-8 school on Quinta Brunson’s hit ABC comedy series, Abbott Elementary.

Over the course of the conversation, James, 45, reflects on her early years in St. Thomas, coming to New York and then, in Illinois, stumbling into stand-up comedy. She speaks about touring with Chris Rock, Amy Schumer and David Cross and writing for BET’s The Rundown With Robin Thede (2017) and Showtime’s Black Monday (2020-21), the latter of which also led to her acting for the first time. And she dishes about the casting process that led to her winning the part of Ava on Abbott Elementary, which has brought her not only Emmy nominations but also nominations for SAG, Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Spirit awards and, along with her castmates, the best comedy ensemble SAG Award.

She also candidly discusses the pros and cons of sudden celebrity and wealth, and of acting on a network show, as opposed to a cable or streaming program (as is the case for every one of her fellow 2025 best supporting actress in a comedy series Emmy nominees). She lifts the veil on some of the comedic and physical challenges of playing Ava. And she breaks down her assignment on the fourth season of Abbott — during which Ava reconnected with her father, found a love interest and lost her job — and concurs with the host’s assertion that it is the season for which she made her strongest case yet to take home an Emmy.
