      James Corden Performs Parody Song to Slam Donald Trump Over Response to Covid-19 Diagnosis

      by

      CBS

      In the latest episode of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, the TV host sings, ‘Maybe I don’t wear a mask ’cause I don’t care about others/ Science I don’t really understand.’
      Oct 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Donald Trump has become the butt of the Internet jokes ever since he revealed his COVID-19 diagnosis, though it soon turned into a criticism because of how he behaved despite the diagnosis. James Corden was among those critics, belting out a parody song of Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed”.
      The TV host delivered his performance in the Tuesday night, October 6 episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”. It began with a voiceover from Trump who said, “And I learned so much about coronavirus…And I know there’s a risk, there’s a danger, but that’s ok. And now I’m better and maybe I’m immune, I don’t know.” The scene then cut to show James sitting behind a piano before he started belting out the tune.
      “Maybe I’m a man/ Maybe I don’t wear a mask ’cause I don’t care about others/ Science I don’t really understand,” he sang, as a viral clip of POTUS seemingly gasping for air during a photo op on Monday night was playing just beside him. “Maybe I’m just high from this experimental cocktail/ Baby I just need some oxygen.”

      Beside poking fun at Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis, James also joked about the upcoming presidential election and how the former entrepreneur is doing at the polls. “Maybe I’m immune to the way the polls are looking now/ Maybe I’m afraid that it’s not fake news/ Maybe I’m immune to all the lies that I have made/ I shouldn’t have downplayed/ Maybe I’m afraid of the way that I might lose this/ Maybe on November 3rd I just might lose this,” he continued rhyming while playing the piano.

      Trump has been receiving criticism for not wearing a mask during a recent photo op at the White House even though he has yet to recover from the coronavirus. Many pointed out that he was putting other people’s lives in danger, though the president seemed to be unfazed by it.

      Leonard Cohen's Estate Slams Trump and His Party for Playing 'Hallelujah' Against Their Wishes

      by

      WENN

      The Republican Party comes under fire for playing Cohen’s classic hit at their National Convention despite his estate’s refusal to grant them permission.
      Aug 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Representatives from the estate of Leonard Cohen are “surprised and dismayed” after they “specifically declined” Republican Party officials’ request to use his song “Hallelujah” at their National Convention.
      Two different cover versions of the late crooner’s famous ballad were played twice during the broadcast on Thursday (27Aug20), during which President Donald Trump accepted the party’s nomination for November’s election, but legal reps for the estate has issued a statement insisting the track was used against their wishes.
      “We are surprised and dismayed that the RNC would proceed knowing that the Cohen Estate had specifically declined the RNC’s use request, and their rather brazen attempt to politicise and exploit in such an egregious manner Hallelujah,” a statement to Reuters read.
      Calling the number “one of the most important songs in the Cohen song catalogue, estate lawyers insist they are “exploring our legal options.”
      Brian J. Monaco, Sony/ATV Music Publishing’s Global Chief Marketing Officer, also confirmed the denial on Friday, adding, “On the eve of the finale of the convention, representatives from the Republican National Committee contacted us regarding obtaining permission for a live performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. We declined their request.”
      He quipped, “Had the RNC requested another song, You Want it Darker, for which Leonard won a posthumous Grammy in 2017, we might have considered approval of that song.”
      Trump has come under fire from a number of artists for playing their music on his campaign trail, with R.E.M., Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Guns N’ Roses, Neil Young, and Tom Petty’s estate all threatened legal action against the U.S. leader.
      Cohen passed away on 7 November 2016 – the day before Trump was first elected as President.

      Marge Simpson Feels 'Disrespected' by Trump Advisor's Insult to Kamala Harris

      by

      FOX/WENN/Instagram

      The animated icon has responded to Jenna Ellis comparing Joe Biden’s presidential running mate’s voice to hers in a short video shared on the popular show’s social media accounts.
      Aug 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marge Simpson of “The Simpsons” recently trended on social media after Jenna Ellis, a senior authorized advisor to President Donald Trump, insulted Senator Kamala Harris by comparing her voice to the animated icon’s. Now, Marge has responded to the statement with a short speech.
      In a video shared on the popular animated show’s social media accounts on Friday, August 14, Marge said, “I usually don’t get into politics, but the president’s senior advisor, Jenna Ellis, just said Kamala Harris sounds like me.” She continued, “Lisa says she doesn’t mean it as a compliment.”
      “If that’s so, as an ordinary, suburban housewife, I’m starting to feel a little disrespected. I teach my children not to name-call, Jenna. I was gonna say I’m pissed off, but I’m afraid they’d bleep it,” she added.

      Fans quickly reacted to the clip as one commented, “To be fair kamala does not sound like you at all Marge you are unique and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.” Praising Marge, another user simply said, “Mic drop.”
      Apparently, Jenna also caught wind of the response as she replied, “Marge is probably going to vote Democrat… by mail.” Reporter Andrew Feinberg then tried to school Jenna that the Simpsons “vote in person” as he attached a link to a video of a “The Simpsons” episode featuring Homer voting in 2012.
      Clapping back, Jenna replied, “Um… None of them are actual people or eligible to vote, but in the Dems’ vote-by-mail scheme, could receive ballots anyway, like the dogs and cat! Apparently my joke was too sophisticated for you. Unless you’re actually advocating for cartoons to stuff ballot boxes?”

      Jenna Ellis responded to Marge Simpson
      Jenna previously mocked Kamala, who was announced on Tuesday as Joe Biden’s running mate, in a tweet. “Kamala sounds like Marge Simpson,” so she wrote.

      Oliver Stone Deems Donald Trump 'Fascinating Dramatic Character' for a Movie

      by

      WENN

      While sharing his thought on him doing a movie about the 45th president, the ‘Platoon’ filmmaker insists that he does not see the novel coronavirus as an existential threat to the world.
      Jul 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Oliver Stone is considering making a movie about U.S. President Donald Trump.
      The “Platoon” filmmaker previously took another much maligned American leader, George W. Bush, to task on screen in 2008’s “W.” – and feels Trump would be an even more fascinating protagonist for a film.
      “There’s nothing that could quite capture this fellow,” he tells British newspaper The Sunday Times. “He’s quite a whirlwind, a fascinating dramatic character. Shakespearean too, in the sense that he’s so emotional – at times he creates a storm, almost purposely every day, to keep the energy going. He creates a storm inside himself. He’s King Lear in a strange way too – which daughter loves me more?”
      Although Trump has faced heavy criticism for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic – with the country one of the worst affected in the world – Stone is unbothered by the virus, saying the real crisis is another issue the President has expressed scepticism about – climate change.
      “The virus seems to me the ongoing business of history. It’s just… there’s so many viruses,” he adds. “I don’t see it as an existential threat to the world. It’s more of a mood thing. No, I think the real issue is global warming.”

      Ben Stiller Refuses to Cut Donald Trump's Cameo Out of 'Zoolander'

      by

      WENN/Paramount Pictures

      During an appearance on ‘The New Abnormal’ podcast, the actor best known for his role as supermodel Derek Zoolander admits there are calls to erase the President from his 2001 movie.
      Jul 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ben Stiller is refusing to cut U.S. leader Donald Trump’s brief cameo appearance in “Zoolander”, amid calls from fans to erase the President from the 2001 movie.
      The “Tropic Thunder” star wrote and directed the comedy, in which he plays self-obsessed male supermodel Derek Zoolander, and when he saw an opportunity to ask property tycoon Trump to be part of it, he didn’t hesitate.
      “We were shooting at the now defunct VH1 Fashion Awards… and as people were coming up the red carpet, we pulled them aside and asked them to talk about Derek Zoolander, and so Trump and (wife) Melania did that,” Ben tells The Daily Beast podcast “The New Abnormal”.
      But as the divisive leader’s popularity drops following his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, some film fans think Stiller should cut him out of the project.
      “I’ve had people reach out to me and say, ‘You should edit Donald Trump out of Zoolander’, but at the end of the day, that was a time when that exists and that happened. There were so many movies (back then) that had a silly cameo from Donald Trump. He represented a certain thing,” he shares.

      Before he entered the political arena, Trump also famously appeared in films including 1992’s “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” and 2002’s “Two Weeks Notice”, starring Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock, and on TV shows like “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, “Spin City”, “Suddenly Susan”, and “Sex and the City”.
      But Stiller is convinced the former businessman will always be especially thrilled to have been part of “Zoolander”.
      “There was a funny story that (U.S. TV host) Chris Matthews told me,” he adds. “He was interviewing Trump during the (2016 Presidential) campaign and there was a commercial break. ‘Zoolander 2’ had come out and… was a big bomb, didn’t do well… And they’d been talking about nuclear arms or something and what his (Trump’s) stance would be with the Russians, and then… Trump brought up ‘Zoolander 2’ and started talking about why he thought the movie didn’t do well.”
      “And he started going into detail (saying), ‘It’s just that in the culture people don’t care about male models any more’. And Chris found it so interesting that he was so fascinated about why ‘Zoolander 2’ didn’t do well as opposed to what to do with the Russians and nuclear arms proliferation.”

      Neil Young Slams Donald Trump for Playing His Songs at Mount Rushmore Event

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Rockin’ in a Free World’ singer says he stands in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples as his songs were used at a Mount Rushmore event without his consent.
      Jul 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Neil Young is “not OK” with Donald Trump using his songs at his Fourth of July weekend Mount Rushmore event.
      During his rally, held at the base of Mount Rushmore on Friday (03Jul20), the U.S. leader played three of the rocker’s songs, to Young’s apparent irritation.
      “This is NOT ok with me,” the 74-year-old tweeted from his official account, alongside a video of his 1989 hit “Rockin’ in a Free World” playing over the sound system at the gathering.
      After another clip of his track “Like a Hurricane” playing before Trump took the stage was shared online, Young added, “I stand in solidarity with the Lakota Sioux & this is NOT ok with me.”
      The comment made reference to the Indigenous peoples in the area, who were historically forced off the sacred land when gold was discovered in the region.
      Young’s song “Cowgirl in the Sand” was also heard at the event, according to Deadline.
      Young previously criticised Trump for playing “Rockin’ in a Free World” during his presidential campaign in 2015, with the star himself actually a supporter of Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
      R.E.M., Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, and the estate of Tom Petty are among those who have also objected to Trump’s use of their music.

      Rolling Stones Plan Lawsuit as Donald Trump Keeps Playing Their Songs at His Campaign

      by

      WENN

      Mick Jagger and his bandmates threaten to launch legal action as the President ignores their cease-and-desist letter to block him from using any of their music.
      Jun 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Rolling Stones are taking “further steps” to prevent Donald Trump from using their music at his Presidential campaign rallies.
      The U.S. leader has ignored the previous cease-and-desist letters from the rockers, over the use of songs by the group, led by Mick Jagger, and their representative has issued a statement, insisting, “This could be the last time Trump uses any Jagger/ Richards songs on his campaigns.”
      In the announcement on Saturday, June 27, 2020, the band stated that their legal team and performing rights organisation BMI sent another warning to Trump’s campaign that, if the president continued to use the band’s music, he could face a lawsuit.
      “The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorised use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement,” the Rolling Stones’ rep added.
      “If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed.”
      Despite previous warnings during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s team still played the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at the president’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 20.
      According to the BMI, “The Trump campaign has a Political Entities License which authorises the public performance of more than 15 million musical works in BMI’s repertoire wherever campaign events occur.”
      However, they told Deadline there’s a provision which, “allows BMI to exclude musical works from the license if a songwriter or publisher objects to its use by a campaign,” which the Rolling Stones plan to exercise.
      R.E.M., Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Neil Young, Guns N’ Roses, and the estate of Tom Petty are among those who have also objected to Trump’s use of their music.

      Tom Petty's Family Blocks Donald Trump From Using His Song in Campaign

      by

      Instagram

      The family members of the late rock legend have sent a cease and desist letter to President Trump after the classic song ‘I Won’t Back Down’ was used in a campaign rally in Tulsa.
      Jun 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Petty’s family members have released a joint statement denouncing U.S. leader Donald Trump’s use of the rock legend’s hit “I Won’t Back Down” at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday, June 20, 2020.
      According to the late star’s family, Tom, who died in 2017, “wrote this song for the underdog, for the common man and for everyone,” adding, “We want to make it clear that we believe everyone is free to vote as they like, think as they like, but the Petty family doesn’t stand for this.”
      Condemning President Trump, they continued, “We believe in America and we believe in democracy. But Donald Trump is not representing the noble ideals of either.”
      “We would hate for fans that are marginalised by this administration to think we were complicit in this usage. Concurrently, we have issued a cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign.”
      The incident is the latest in a string of similar attacks on Trump by artists for using their work at rallies, with R.E.M., Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Neil Young, Guns N’ Roses, and The Rolling Stones just some of the other acts who have also objected to their music’s use at Trump’s events.
