00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:17.519
Callarogus shark media. Hi am welcome
to Entertainment Plus. I'm your host Francis

2
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.760
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough didn't mince words
when expressing his frustration after his flagship show

3
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.519
of Morning Joe was pulled off air
following the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.

4
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.119
The decision to yank the show sparked
huge backlash and suggestions that NBC didn't trust

5
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.399
the anchors to cover the shocking event. Scarborough and co host Mika Brazinski returned

6
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.240
on air the next day, venting
their frustration at the network executives they claim

7
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.600
blindsided them. Before we start this
hour, Willie, I just want to

8
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.560
briefly talk to our friends and viewers
that watch us every day and talk about

9
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.399
what happened yesterday, Scarborough began.
He went on to explain that they were

10
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.000
told there would be one news feed
across all NBC News channels, but that

11
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.359
didn't happen. Our team was not
given a good answer as to why that

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.399
didn't happen. But it didn't happen. We were also told it was going

13
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.280
to happen throughout the day, he
added. Scarborough then made a bold statement,

14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.239
threatening to walk out if such a
situation occurred again, we were very

15
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.680
surprised. We were very disappointed.
And if we had known that there wasn't

16
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.680
going to be the one news feed
from NBC News across all NBC News channels,

17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.519
really we obviously would have been yesterday
morning. He concluded by saying,

18
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.560
the next time it happens, they
will be in the chairs covering breaking news,

19
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.159
or else the network can get somebody
else. In entertainment, used Jack

20
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.280
Black announced the cancelation of Tenacious D's
tour after his bandmate Kyle Gas made controversial

21
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.040
comments about the Trump assassination attempt.
The incident occurred during the show in Sydney,

22
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.959
Australia, when Black brought a birthday
cake for Gas and asked him to

23
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.200
make a wish. Gas replied don't
miss Trump next time, which was met

24
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.480
with mostly cheers and laughter from the
crowd. Black issued a statement saying I

25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.640
was blindsided by what was said at
the show on Sunday. I would never

26
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.599
condone hate speech or encourage political violence
in any form. He added that after

27
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.560
much he no longer felt it appropriate
to continue the Tenatiousity tour and all future

28
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.439
creative plans were on hold. Guess
also issued an apology, stating the line

29
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.080
I improvised on stage Sunday night in
Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous, and

30
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.879
a terrible mistake. I don't condone
violence of any kind and any form against

31
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.199
anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I'm incredibly sorry for my severe

32
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.759
lack of judgment. I profoundly apologize
to those I've let down and truly regret

33
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.000
any pain of caused. The fitness
world mourned the loss of Richard Simmons,

34
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.199
the hyperactive guru who built a mini
empire urging the overweight to exercise and overhaul

35
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.319
their diets. Despite his success,
insiders claimed Simmons die and believing he was

36
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.000
a failure, and spent months fearing
he would be left humiliated by an upcoming

37
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.759
biopic about his life, and insider
revealed Richard Diane thinking that he had spent

38
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.960
his entire life focused on his career
and that he never truly made it.

39
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.719
He didn't think of himself as the
legendary icon everyone else knew him as in

40
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.039
his heyday. He saw himself as
a failure and for his entire life he

41
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.520
never got the one thing he wanted. A star on the Hollywood Walk of

42
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.840
Fame. This Broke his heart.
Simmons was known for his Emmy winning daytime

43
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.639
show, best selling books, and
The Diet Plan and Deal a Meal.

44
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.159
He was also known to counsel the
severely obeasts, including Rosalie Bradford, who

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.520
held records for being the world's heaviest
woman. At Monday's home run. Derby.

46
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.400
Country singer Ingrid Andress drew widespread criticism
for her rendition of the national anthem,

47
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.080
described by many as the worst national
anthem ever. Andrews's performance of the

48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.479
Star Spangled Banner was characterized as a
shrill, somber death march. At least

49
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.520
one player the Phillies, Alec Boham, cracked a smile during the rendition,

50
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.840
while attendees at Globe Life Field in
Arlington quickly joined in to compete with andrews

51
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.520
sharp crackling voice. Social media erupted
with reactions, with one person writing on

52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.879
x that Ingrid Andress National Anthem might
have been the worst thing to happen in

53
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.919
America in the last forty eight hours. Critics compared her performance to other infamous

54
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.879
renditions by Roseanne bar Carl Lewis,
and Fergie in the world of celebrity products.

55
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.400
Paris Hilton found herself personally apologizing to
a TikTok user after a damning review

56
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.919
of her Walmart kitchen knife collection went
viral. A shopper named Kathleen took to

57
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.319
the video sharing app to complain about
Hilton's sticky and gross knives, which he

58
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.759
claimed were unusable after being washed.
Hilton responded directly to the criticism, commenting,

59
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.919
I'm sorry that happened. I'm going
to ask my team to speak to

60
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.759
the manufacturer as that's clearly not acceptable. Let me know if I can send

61
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.879
you something as an apology. P
Kathleen was quick to forgive the social light,

62
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.959
replying, oh my god, my
new bff, Paris. Speaking to

63
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.079
your manufacturers is all I need.
But if you'd like to design a knife

64
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.720
with heart cutouts with different handles,
I'm in the market to buy. Kim

65
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.519
Kardashian faced backlash for her outfit choices
at Anantambani and Radeka Merchant's wedding in Mumbai.

66
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.560
The reality TV style shared photos of
her hangers on Instagram, but was

67
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.399
met with criticism about wearing red,
a color traditionally reserved for Indian brides.

68
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.040
Social media users called or out for
trying to upstage the bride not once but

69
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:57.000
twice as a wedding guest at the
lavish three day ceremony. One Instagram user

70
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.560
commented not supposed to wear red to
a wedding in India? Saved for the

71
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.160
bride, while another wrote I'm Mexican
and even I know you're not supposed to

72
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.560
wear red to an Indian wedding.
Kardashians wore a total of four outfits during

73
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:12.079
the event, including two red ensembles. More entertainment in just a moment.

74
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.399
At the box office, Universal's animated
sequel Despicable Me four held on to the

75
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.240
top spot for a second week,
earning forty four million dollars. However,

76
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.480
the surprise hit was Indie distributed a
Neon's Long Legs, which debuted with an

77
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.720
astonishing twenty two million dollars in second
place. Long Legs, an original horror

78
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.079
film about a serial killer starring Maker
Monroe and Nicholas Cage, made its impressive

79
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.000
debut from twenty five hundred theaters.
Theon acquired the film for distribution for ten

80
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.160
million dollars back in February at the
European Film Market. The company deployed an

81
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.800
innovative marketing strategy for the film,
including placing cipher messages in local newspapers and

82
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.879
posting a Los Angeles billboard with a
phone number that played an unnerving message.

83
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.160
In its first forty eight hours,
the number received over two hundred and fifty

84
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.759
thousand calls, and they have it. Please follow us on Spotify app or
