    Jimmy Kimmel Takes On Matt Gaetz Over His Bid for a Pre-emptive Pardon

    Trump aides denied him a blanket pardon for fear it would set a bad precedent, Kimmel said: “At the time, they were only interested in setting terrible precedents.”Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Pardon Me?Before President Donald Trump left office, Representative Matt Gaetz, one of his most vocal allies, unsuccessfully sought a blanket pre-emptive pardon for any crimes he may have committed, The New York Times reported this week. At the time, the Republican congressman from Florida was the subject of a Justice Department investigation over whether he’d had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and violated sex trafficking laws, though it is unclear whether he or the White House knew about the inquiry.“The reason the White House denied the pre-emptive pardon for Matt Gaetz is because they thought it would set a bad precedent,” Jimmy Kimmel said on Wednesday. “At the time, they were only interested in setting terrible precedents.”“You know, his advisers, according to Maggie Haberman of The Times, talked him out of a full-throated defense of Gaetz, which is sad, because Matt Gaetz really was the son Donald Trump never had, even though he had a couple.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Do you know how shady you have to be for Number 45’s lawyers to go, ‘No, that’s a bad look. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I just farted on camera, my head is leaking, and I’m late for my press conference outside the crematorium dildo shop.’” — STEPHEN COLBERTStephen Colbert noted how close Gaetz had been to Trump at one point. The congressman wrote in a book that Trump would call him frequently while in office.“[imitating Gaetz] ‘The president has called me everywhere: while I was lurking in the bushes outside of a high school, while I was making fake IDs, even while I was tutoring my girlfriend for the SATs.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Gaetz says the president called him ‘even in the throes of passion (yes, I answered).’ Thinking about Matt Gaetz having sex, I’m in the throes of up.” — STEPHEN COLBERTThe Punchiest Punchlines (Blanket-Burning Edition)“Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, but sources say that just before the previous president left office, Gaetz asked for a blanket pardon. Oh, I don’t think the blanket wants a pardon; I think it wants to be burned — it’s seen too much.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“You know you haven’t done anything wrong when you check in with the president to ask for a pardon in case you happen to get accused of a sex crime somewhere down the line.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“The pardon request was reportedly seen as a nonstarter at the White House, which is — that’s saying a lot, considering Donald Trump once wanted to nuke a hurricane.” — JIMMY KIMMELThe Bits Worth WatchingThe actress Danielle Brooks talked with Trevor Noah about motherhood, and about playing the legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.The “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson took on Jimmy Fallon in a “Random Instrument Challenge.”What We’re Excited About on Thursday NightPadma Lakshmi will dish on Season 18 of “Top Chef” on Thursday’s “A Little Late With Lilly Singh.”Also, Check This OutA courtroom sketch of Rodney King testifying at a civil trial in 1994.

    'The Masked Singer' Recap: Bulldog's Real Identity Shocks Everyone

    FOX

    The new episode sees performances from Group B finalists including Black Swan, Chameleon, Piglet and Crab with this season’s third Wildcard contestant Bulldog joining him.

    Apr 8, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “The Masked Singer” returned with a new episode on Wednesday, April 7. The night featured performances from Group B finalists including Black Swan, Chameleon, Piglet and Crab. Joining them as this season’s third Wildcard contestant was Bulldog.

    Kicking off the night was Black Swan, who belted out Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know”. She impressed the coaches with her runs, prompting Jenny McCarthy to think that Black Swan was “Hannah Montana” star Emily Osment as her clues included “Hannah Montana”. Ken Jeong guessed Brenda Song, while Robin Thicke named Victoria Justice.

    Following it up was Piglet. Piglet took the stage to sing Lukas Graham’s “7 Years”. As for the clue package, Piglet revealed a meaningful object which was a necklace of two dog tags. Nicole Scherzinger thought Piglet might be Backstreet Boys’ Kevin Richardson, while Jenny thought he was his bandmate AJ McLean. Zayn Malik’s name was also thrown into the mix.

    Crab then performed a gorgeous rendition of Rick James’ “Give It to Me Baby”. His meaningful object was a black bowler hat that he said was inspired by Sammy Davis, Jr. Jenny and Ken believed that Crab was Bobby Brown. Jenny, however, also added that Martin Lawrence might be the one behind the mask.

    Performing next was Chameleon, who opted to sing Dead Prez’s classic hit “Hip Hop”. “I’m always cooking something in the kitchen,” he said after revealing a plate of chicken wings as his meaningful object clue. Nicole guessed Waka Flocka Flame, Robin named Wiz Khalifa, while Jenny guessed Texas-born rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

    It was then Bulldog’s turn to show off his talent. He sang New Edition’s “Candy Girl” which he dedicated to temporary host Niecy Nash.

    Much to everyone’s surprise, Niecy announced that the votes would not count that night. She added that that she would be the one to determine who would be eliminated. She then named Bulldog as the one singer who needed to go home. Before that, he unmasked himself and he was revealed to be longtime “Masked Singer” host Nick Cannon. Nick shared he had finished his COVID-19 quarantine and is preparing his return for the show.

    Rege-Jean Page Admits Reports About Him Losing 'Krypton' Role Due to Skin Color 'Hurt'

    Instagram

    After a representative of former DC Entertainment President and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns offers clarification regarding the story, the ‘Bridgerton’ alum claims it still ‘hurts no less now than it did back then.’

    Apr 8, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Rege-Jean Page has responded to reports about him losing a role on “Krypton” because of his race. One day after he was unveiled to have been rejected from the Syfy series because he is black, the former “Bridgerton” star admitted the news still “hurts” him.

    “Hearing about these conversations hurts no less now than it did back then. The clarifications almost hurt more tbh,” the 31-year-old hunk wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, April 7. “Still just doing my thing. Still we do the work. We still fly.”

    Rege-Jean Page responded to reports about him losing a role on ‘Krypton’ due to his race.

    Page has since received supportive comments from his online devotees. One in particular replied, “They did no Justice even when it was a Superman show. You deserved better. Glad you has a second chance to shine.” Another penned, “This is DC’s loss! Really bad decision. Frankly, they don’t deserve you and ‘Krypton’ will not be on my ‘to see’ list. Bigger and better…bring it on!”

    Page’s post came after The Hollywood Reporter published an article that claimed he was passed over to play Superman’s grandfather on the Syfy series due to his skin color. Former DC Entertainment President and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns allegedly argued that “Superman could not have a Black grandfather.” He also reportedly shut down an idea to make character Adam Strange gay or bisexual on the show.

    Johns’ representative, however, has denied the claims via email. “[Johns] celebrates and supports LGTBQ characters, including ‘Batwoman’, who in 2006 was re-introduced as LGBTQ in a comic-book series co-written by Johns,” the rep first pointed out.

    The representative further noted, “Johns also pitched Warners on developing a television show around the first LGBTQ lead DC superhero television series.” As for why Page did not get the role, the rep explained that “Johns believed that fans wanted the character to look like a young Henry Cavill.”

    Brooke Baldwin Takes Issue With Gender Pay Disparity at CNN Amid Departure

    Instagram

    The 41-year-old journalist, who left her longtime employer after 13 years, reveals in a new interview that ‘the most influential anchors on [her] network [and] the highest-paid, are men.’

    Apr 8, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Brooke Baldwin has unveiled one of the reasons why she left CNN. The journalist, who is departing from the network after 13 years, admitted that she took issue with its gender pay disparity.

    The 41-year-old made the revelation when speaking on Ms. Magazine’s “On The Issues With Michele Goodwin” podcast. “I’ve been anchoring for 10-plus years, the majority of that time two hours in the afternoon. And in that time, you know, the most influential anchors on our network [and] the highest-paid, are men,” she first spilled.

    “My bosses, my executives are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So, I have been surrounded by a lot of men,” she further divulged. “I do think it is changing, I know it is changing just by looking at some of the faces that are popping up more and more on our channel… but oftentimes, especially early on … I was surrounded by a lot of dudes.”

    Brooke, who hosts the afternoon segment of “CNN Newsroom”, also claimed that she does personally “fight for women’s stories.” Despite getting “told no a lot,” she said that she managed to overcome such setbacks.

    “Little by little, by having women in places of power – and I would argue behind-the-scenes, not just in front, but behind-the-scenes – that is how you then have stories that reflect who they are,” she further shared. “It’s getting better but we still have a bit of a ways to go.”

    Brooke announced her departure from CNN in February. “For a decade, I’ve never taken for granted the enormous responsibility and privilege I’ve had to work with some of the most talented producers and photojournalists out there as we covered our era’s most urgent and important stories,” she declared while on-air.

    “Conflicts, terrorism, environmental and natural disasters, the wrath of gun violence, human interest stories and royal weddings, my ‘American Woman’ series, social justice movements that define our culture and a pandemic that changed the world… and politics,” she went on. “Lots of politics.”

    “I am grateful for your loyalty and passion for the world we cover,” Brooke concluded. “The next chapter of life will be focused on what I love the most about my work, amplifying the lives of extraordinary Americans and putting my passion for storytelling to good use.”

    ‘A Sense of Belonging’ for Hispanic Children, With Puppets

    “Club Mundo Kids,” a new TV series debuting on April 10, is the latest result of a push for programming that uses Spanish to reach Latino audiences.Standing outside a home, Romina Puga paints endangered animals, plants a garden, hosts guest experts and talks about the news. She is joined by two friends: Coco, a puppet shaped like a coconut, and Maya, a plush pink puppet.Maybe most important, Ms. Puga is as likely to speak in Spanish as in English.Those are scenes from “Club Mundo Kids,” a TV news show debuting April 10 on Televisa and April 11 on Universo, aimed at young, first- and second-generation Hispanic children in the United States, where the large Hispanic population is growing, diverse and often underrepresented in television and in movies.“There is very little content being created that is speaking to U.S. Hispanic, Latinx children and telling their stories,” said Ms. Puga, the show’s 31-year-old host. “The younger generation doesn’t really have anyone breaking things down and talking directly to them in a way that is digestible.”Latinos make up the largest minority group in the United States, accounting for 18.5 percent of the population, and more than one in four newborns are Latino, according to the Pew Research Center.But only 4.5 percent of all speaking characters across 1,200 top-grossing films from 2007 to 2018 were Latino, according to a 2019 study by the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.Broadcasters have occasionally tried to reach young Hispanic audiences, often with cartoon programming like Nickelodeon’s “Dora the Explorer,” about the adventures of a young animated Latina and her friends. In 2016, the Disney Channel introduced “Elena of Avalor,” an animated series praised for featuring Disney’s first Latina princess. Univision has “Planeta U” a Saturday programming block of animated and educational programs aimed at children ages 2 to 8.And for decades, “Sesame Street” has featured Rosita, a blue bilingual puppet from Mexico.“Club Mundo Kids,” in contrast, puts real people in front of the camera, including a host, children and guest experts, and makes a point of talking to children ages 6 and up about Latino life in a real-world context.“It’s a real opportunity to meet Spanish-speaking kids where they are and to help them build language and reading skills, like ‘Sesame Street’ and ‘Reading Rainbow’ has been doing for decades in English,’’ said Jason Ruiz, an associate professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame.He added that the show, possibly alone among programs for children, “will be symbolically important for giving Spanish-dominant kids a sense of belonging by having a show aimed directly at them.”Hosted by Ms. Puga, a former ABC News correspondent, the series features a mix of live-action and animated segments that explain topics like where food comes from and why there are so many Spanish dialects.Ms. Puga said the show combines elements of the 1990s children’s programs that she watched growing up Chilean-Argentine in Miami, but with current trends, themes and explanatory segments. In an episode about agriculture, for instance, an animated cornstalk named Miguel Maíz explains how some foods act as fuel for our bodies, and Ms. Puga says the different Spanish words for corn (one being “maíz”).And in each episode, children can ask Ms. Puga and guest experts questions that relate to the show’s topic — like, why do our stomachs hurt after eating too many sweets?“Kids will see they can interact, they can be part of the conversation and that it’s also their world,” said Isaac Lee, an executive producer of “Club Mundo Kids.” Mr. Lee said he wanted to create a show where wanted Latinx kids and their friends could get accurate news and information about the country and the world in a way that reflects their realities.The goal, he said, was an “entertaining and engaging” program, said Mr. Lee, a former chief content officer at Univision and now the head of the production company Exile. The pandemic pushed filming into the backyard of a home in the Los Angeles area, but producers are using the setting to encourage children to go outside.Ms. Puga said she hoped the show would “spark curiosity and promote empathy and understanding for other cultures — all while having fun, of course.”Advocates of greater diversity in the entertainment industry praised the trend of media companies trying to reach Hispanic children with educational content that keeps them anchored in their heritage while building cultural bridges through bilingualism.One Latina advocate, Beatriz Acevedo, said the show provided an opportunity for parents who want their children to stay connected to their culture through language.“Hopefully ‘Club Mundo Kids’ will showcase the rich diversity and intersectionality of our Latinidad that the younger generations in our community desperately need to see,” said Ms. Acevedo, who has produced children’s programs and is a founder of LA Collab, a group that promotes the advancement of Latinos in the entertainment industry.

    Kanye West Documentary Series Allegedly Cost Netflix Over $30 Million

    Instagram

    A series chronicling the life and career of the ‘Jesus Is King’ rapper is in the works at Netflix and the streaming giant reportedly spent more than $30 million on the project.

    Apr 8, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    A multi-part documentary series about Kanye West’s life and career is reportedly set to land on Netflix this year.

    According to Billboard, the streaming giant spent “upwards of $30 million (£22 million)” on the series though this has not been confirmed.

    The currently untitled project is being helmed by music video producing pair Clarence ‘Coodie’ Simmons and Chike Ozah, who were behind the hip-hop superstar and Yeezy founder’s 2004 promos for “Jesus Walks (Version 3)” and “Through the Wire”.

    Fans can expect to see never-before-seen footage of the rapper in the doc, which follows his career in music and fashion, his 2020 presidential bid, and will touch on the tragic death of his mother, Donda West.

    The series is said to have been in the works for two decades and, while the “Stronger” hitmaker is not working on the production himself, he has given his seal of approval.

    Coodie and Chike’s Creative Control have joined forces with TIME Studios on the series, who distributed the 2018 Aretha Franklin concert film “Amazing Grace”.

    The documentary news comes amid the 43-year-old star’s divorce from Kim Kardashian West.

    In February (21), the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star filed to end her six-year marriage to the “Famous” hitmaker – with whom she has North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and 22-month-old Psalm – citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind their split.

    Kim began dating the “Heartless” rapper in 2012 and the couple had their first child in 2013 before tying the knot in 2014.

    Watch These 11 Titles Before They Leave Netflix in April

    These movies and TV shows are leaving U.S. Netflix by the end of the month. Stream them while you can.This month, Netflix in the United States bids adieu (temporarily, one hopes) to some of its very best titles, including contemporary classics from Bong Joon Ho, Todd Haynes, Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino. But we also recommend catching a handful of lesser-seen titles before they’re gone, including a ’60s musical drama with an edge and an action extravaganza with a growing cult following. (Dates reflect the final day a title is available.)Eddie Murphy in a scene from “Delirious.”HBO, via Netflix‘Eddie Murphy: Delirious’ (April 14)Murphy was a “Saturday Night Live” sensation, the star of two smash movies (“48 Hours” and “Trading Places”) and all of 22 years old when he shot this raunchy 70-minute stand-up special in 1983. His tender age is in many ways an asset — the show crackles with the electricity of a performer who was, in many ways, less like a comedian than a rock star — though his immature perspective on certain issues may make some sections hard for contemporary audiences to stomach. (Murphy has apologized for the special’s homophobic material.) But those bits are fleeting, and the classics (including his impressions of James Brown and Stevie Wonder, and his childhood memories of cookouts and “shoe-throwing mothers”) are as funny as ever.Stream it here‘Carol’ (April 19)When Todd Haynes was attached to direct this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel “The Price of Salt,” some wondered if the idiosyncratic filmmaker was starting to repeat himself: Hadn’t he already put his stamp on 1950s melodrama with “Far From Heaven”? But Haynes was up to something quite different here, jettisoning the Douglas Sirk homages and richly saturated cinematography for something closer to the beatnik spirit of its Greenwich Village setting. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were both nominated for Academy Awards for their work as two women — one rich and in her 40s, one bohemian and in her 20s — whose mutual attraction underscores their inability to be who they’re “supposed” to be in their social circles.Stream it here‘The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass’: Seasons 1-3 (April 21)The setup for this spinoff of the competitive baking series — which has proved to be quality comfort food during quarantine — is quite simple: The hosts, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, revisit some of the most technically challenging recipes of the series and walk you through their proper preparation themselves. The result is a fairly ingenious spin on the series; while the pressure-cooker competition element is lost, the format allows more time for Mary and Paul to show off their skills, and to playfully jab at each other.Stream it hereJamie Foxx, left, and Leonardo DiCaprio in “Django Unchained.”Andrew Cooper/Weinstein Company‘Django Unchained’ (April 24)Quentin Tarantino picked up an Academy Award for best original screenplay (his second, after “Pulp Fiction”) and directed Christoph Waltz to a trophy for best supporting actor (his second, after “Inglourious Basterds”) for this ultraviolent, wickedly entertaining pastiche of spaghetti western, Southern melodrama and broad, “Blazing Saddles”-style comedy. Jamie Foxx stars as the title character, a riff on the protagonists of countless Italian westerns of the 1960s, here reimagined as a freed slave looking to rescue his wife from a Mississippi plantation. Waltz is the bounty hunter who assists him on his quest, and Leonardo DiCaprio is the plantation owner who proves to be a tricky target.Stream it here‘The Sapphires’ (April 26)Four young Aborigine women become an unlikely but effective R&B quartet in this musical drama from the director Wayne Blair, inspired by a true story. Chris O’Dowd (“Bridesmaids”) co-stars as an Irish music promoter who hears the group singing country songs at a talent competition and becomes convinced that they could make good money touring bases in Vietnam, belting Motown tunes. It sounds like a simple rags-to-riches jukebox musical, but “The Sapphires” has much to say beyond its lyrics, following thoughtful and often heart-rending threads on race, identity, colonialism and war. And beyond that, the songs are divine.Stream it here‘Blackfish’ (April 30)This harrowing documentary from the director Gabriela Cowperthwaite details the practices of the SeaWorld theme parks that keep killer whales in captivity, focusing in particular on the story of Tilikum, an orca who was involved in the deaths of three people while kept at SeaWorld Orlando. In often grisly detail, Cowperthwaite and her team examine attack footage and interview employees and witnesses, investigating the deaths with the precision of a true crime film, albeit one where the question is not who did it, but why.Stream it here‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ (April 30)The John Hughes-style high school learn-a-lesson comedy mostly faded away when Hughes stopped making them, but this 1998 teen treat from the writing and directing duo Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan recaptured some of that particular magic. As was often the case with Hughes’s films (particularly “The Breakfast Club”), “Can’t Hardly Wait” puts a group of specific types — the nerd, the babe, the cynic, the jock, etc. — into a real-time event and bounces them off one another to see what sparks fly. In this case, it’s a wild house party on graduation night. Lauren Ambrose, Seth Green, Ethan Embry and Jennifer Love Hewitt lead the ensemble cast.Stream it hereGerard Butler in a scene from “Den of Thieves.”STX Entertainment‘Den of Thieves’ (April 30)At first glance, this testosterone fueled cops-and-robbers movie from Christian Gudegast looks like a second-rate “Heat” knockoff, from the inciting incident (an armored car job gone awry) to the interlocking narratives to the moody meditations on modern masculinity. To be clear, it is far from Michael Mann territory, intellectually or aesthetically. But Gudegast eventually finds a compelling groove of his own, jettisoning Mann’s existential angst for his own sweaty B-movie scuzziness, and he finds the ideal vessel for that posture in the form of his leading man, Gerald Butler, in top-shelf (and bottom of the barrel) form as a dangerously burned-out lawman.Stream it here‘I Am Legend’ (April 30)Richard Matheson’s durable 1954 novel, previously brought to the screen as “The Last Man on Earth” and “The Omega Man,” gets another go-round in the hands of the director Francis Lawrence (who went on to make three of the four “Hunger Games” films). Will Smith stars as a scientist who seems to be the last man in Manhattan after a virus eliminates most of the human race but leaves behind terrifying mutant creatures that attack at night. The horror and post-apocalyptic sci-fi elements work as well as ever, but the real draw of “Legend” is the skill with which its technicians convincingly empty out New York City — and the eerie prescience of those prepandemic images.Stream it here‘Platoon’ (April 30)By the mid-80s, Oliver Stone was one of the most in-demand screenwriters in Hollywood thanks to his Oscar-winning script for “Midnight Express” and his adaptation of “Scarface,” among others. But his directorial efforts were widely ignored — until 1986, which brought the one-two punch of the political thriller “Salvador” and this haunting reflection on the Vietnam War, inspired by Stone’s own experiences as an infantryman. The script feels personal and powerful in ways that transcend most war narratives, but his thrilling direction is what gives the movie its fire, landing character beats and battle sequences with equal intensity. “Platoon” won Academy Awards for best picture and best director, and Stone’s filmmaking future was finally sealed.Stream it hereTilda Swinton in “Snowpiercer.”Weinstein Company‘Snowpiercer’ (April 30)Before making Oscar history with his simultaneous wins for best picture and best international feature (and for best original screenplay and directing), the South Korean director Bong Joon Ho brought his considerable gifts to American audiences with this 2014 adaptation of the French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige.” Marshaling an impressive international cast that includes Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, Ed Harris and Chris Evans, Bong crafts a thrilling English-language variation on his signature combination of action spectacle and social commentary.Stream it here More

    Piers Morgan Calls Out Sheryl Underwood for Defending George Lopez in 2017

    WENN/Mario Mitsis/FayesVision

    The former TV host also previously slammed Meghan Markle, calling her ‘delusional duchess’ while insisting that she lied about her claims against the British royals in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

    Apr 7, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Piers Morgan is taking aim at “The Talk” co-host Sheryl Underwood. During his appearance on Extra TV, the former “Good Morning Britain” host called for the firing of Sheryl after his pal Sharon Osbourne was fired from “The Talk” for defending him.

    “[Sharon] was attacked on her own show by her co-host who said that that effectively was her supporting someone who said racist things. And when Sharon got annoyed and said, ‘What did he say that was racist,’ they couldn’t say anything because I never have,” Piers ranted. “Now, Sharon’s gone, too. I look at this Cancel Culture, it’s a real thing. This woke mob want to cancel people who do not follow the narrative.”

    He then brought up the time when Sheryl defended George Lopez, a Latino comedian who made offensive jokes about a black woman in the audience in a 2017 performance. “There’s a real hypocrisy at the top as well, involving Sheryl Underwood, because four years ago, it was revealed after Sharon was forced out of her job for defending somebody who hadn’t said racist things, a video emerged of Sheryl Underwood defending George Lopez, the Latino comedian,” Piers noted.

      See also…

    “You would think that Sheryl Underwood, who is so outraged by people saying racist things, that she even imagines them saying when they haven’t, but when she was confronted with clear evidence on video of her good friend George Lopez saying racist things and abusing a young black woman who then had to leave a venue, that Sheryl would be outraged, but she wasn’t,” Piers continued.

    During the interview, Piers also slammed Meghan Markle, calling her “delusional duchess” while insisting that she lied about her claims against the British royals in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. “You’re accusing people in the palace of being unspeakably cruel simply to protect the brand of the Royal family. If that is true, let’s have the names of these people, and let’s go to them and ask them is this true,” he challenged the Duchess of Sussex. “Did you tell a suicidal woman who told you she was suicidal she was not allowed to get help? Because I find that impossible to believe.”

    Still refusing to believe what Meghan and Prince Harry said in the bombshell tell-all, Piers added, “There are so many ridiculous whoppers in this interview that frankly, in the end, saying I would believe her would be like saying I believe Pinocchio. Why would I? It’s not really about Meghan Markle – she’s a delusional duchess who wants to make millions off the royals while trashing family. It’s really about free speech.”
