Donald Trump has slammed Alec Baldwin, the actor who has famously played the US President on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) since 2016, saying that watching his impersonation acts were an “agony” for audiences, the media reported. “Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch,” Trump tweeted on Friday, at first mis-spelling Baldwin’s name as “Alex” before fixing it.

“Alex, it was also agony for those who were forced to watch. You were terrible. Bring back Darrell Hammond, much funnier and a far greater talent!” Baldwin quickly shot back, CNN reported. “Agony though it may be, I’d like to hang in there for the impeachment hearings, the resignation speech, the farewell helicopter ride to Mar-A-Lago. You know. The Good Stuff. That we’ve all been waiting for,” the actor tweeted. Next, he tweeted: “Looking forward to the Trump Presidential Library. A putting green. Recipes for chocolate cake. A live Twitter feed for visitors to post on. A little black book with the phone numbers of porn stars. You’re in and out in five minutes. Just like…

“And Mr President… please ask your wife to stop calling me for SNL tickets. (Hey, Melania… We’ve got Charles Barkley this Saturday!” Trump’s Friday tweet came after Baldwin, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter said that portraying the President has become an “agony” and that he plans to dedicate himself to opposing him in the upcoming elections, Politico news reported.

“I’ll vote for Mitt Romney. I don’t care. Anybody over this guy. It doesn’t matter. We have to get rid of him. And that’s another project I’m working on,” Baldwin said. Baldwin’s impersonation of Trump portrays the president as meaner and more incompetent than crafty. Trump had hosted the show in November 2015 while he was a Republican primary candidate.

Few days back, Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson announced that he was not considering to be running for president. But, it looks like he has again changed his mind

Few days back, Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson announced that he was not considering to be running for president. But, it looks like he has again changed his mind. According to Contactmusic.com, the 45-year-old actor is actually considering running for President of the United States, but in the year 2024. In an interview with a leading US publication, Johnson said, ‘I couldn’t do both [make movies and run for President]. Realistically, as we go into 2018, when you look at my slate as we’re developing and shooting into 2019 and 2020, the slate goes deep into 2021, so it feels like the realistic consideration would be 2024.’

Dwayne Johnson

Though Johnson had political ambitions on his mind, he never set out to start a viral guessing game of whether or not he will run for president. ‘It all started out of the blue. It was never something that I trumpetted and beat my chest and ever said publicly, ‘This is what I’m going to do,’ but as that story picked up, Americans picked it up and there was this sentiment of, ‘We’re not joking, and we would really love the idea if you would run.’ In that, I knew I had to listen to the people and really, really think about it. That’s where I’m at right now – I’m well aware politics is not the business I’m in, so the best thing I can do is continuing to listen and learn as much as I can,’ noted Johnson.

The star added, ‘I’m continuing to watch our presidency and watch how every new development is handled. I continue to watch our leaders in government, and like all Americans, I continue to be hopeful that our leaders exhibit poise, perspective and the ability to bring our country together during these tough times ‘ which I don’t feel our presidency is currently doing ‘ so that’s where I’m at.’ The ‘Ballers’ star is playing with the idea purely because of his loyalty to the American people, which he has displayed through his genuine relationship to his 175 million followers across social media platforms.

The actor explained, ‘I care deeply about our country, and I care deeply about our people ‘ especially now. Decency matters and being a decent human being matters, and character matters, and leadership matters.’ It should be noted that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who recently got a star on Hollywood’s ‘Walk of Fame’, will be next seen in Brad Peyton’s ‘Rampage’ alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Joe Manganiello. The flick is slated to hit US theatres on April 20, 2018.

'American Horror Story: Cult' Teaser Is A Creepy Montage Of Clowns, Bees, Spiders & Bloody Teeth

Celebrities

Aug 202017

Clowns are cute and funny, but only when they are inside our TV screens or in a circus; not when we stay alone and have a clown, wake us up at 3.30 AM with his creepy smile. Honestly, I have nothing against clowns, but thanks to some brilliant movie directors, I can’t look past the image of them staring at us from one corner of a room. While we are discussing clowns, ‘American Horror Story: Cult’ is all set to premiere in the first week of September and its latest teaser is an overdose of scary clowns and bees. If ‘Annabelle: Creation’ wasn’t enough to frighten and scare the sh*t out of us, ‘American Horror Story: Cult’ is all set to creep our senses out. Watch the trailer here.

Reportedly, the co-creator Ryan Murphy earlier reportedly said that the seventh season will focus on 2016’s election campaign between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. However, we didn’t get a glimpse of any politician in the frame. All we saw was a montage of clowns, bees, rats, huge spiders, blood stained teeth occult puzzles and trippy sounds effects. Although some might argue that this teaser doesn’t stand close to any horror movie and we should compare it to any movie, but when it comes to creepiness, this movie is on point. If you are brave-heart, then watch out the premiere on September 5.

Wondering what’s so great about this cover of Sheeran’s popular song? Man, it features our Prime Minister Narendra Modi singing this song flawlessly. Bet Sheeran had no idea that India’s PM was a lover of his work.

We ain’t joking like literally someone very creatively has managed to pick up bits and pieces from PM Modi’s various speeches to create this video.

By the end of the clip, PM Modi and other world leaders look very pleased with his performance. We got to give it to the maker of this video for doing such a spot on work. Just wondering how many videos he had to go through to curate the content? Phew!

Also, to ensure that you are not missing out on the mashups of other world leaders who have sung Shape of You, here are the videos featuring Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau singing Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You.

The video featuring PM Modi has been uploaded by Tony Tarz and is getting circulated around. Tarz is a music producer and captioned the video saying, “Hey guys!! I got the idea to make this video ( Respected Modi Ji’s) after watching Donald Trump and Obama singing shape of you. Definitely inspired me a lot from youtube Maestro zikos.”
