Donald Trump Calls Sacha Baron Cohen a “Creep” After He Pranks Rudy Giuliani
“Creep” would be an appropriate word to describe Rudy Giuliani after witnessing his antics in the new Borat movie. However, when asked about his personal attorney’s actions in the film, Donald Trump said it was Sacha Baron Cohen who was the “creep.” Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump recalled his own appearance on Cohen’s Da Ali G Show in 2003. “Years ago, you know, he tried to scam me,” And I was the only one who said ‘no way.’” “That’s a phony guy. And I don’t find him funny,” Trump continued. “To me, he was a creep.” On Saturday, Cohen responded to Trump directly. “Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either. But yet the whole world laughs at you,” Cohen wrote on Twitter. “I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, ...
10 Takeaways From Kanye West’s Conversation With Joe Rogan
See several excerpts from his three-hour symphony with Rogan below. He’s prioritizing his relationship with God over the music industry: “When I made Sunday Service, I completely stopped rapping, because I don’t know how to rap for God. All my raps always had nasty jokes. When I went to the hospital in 2016, I wrote, ‘Started church in Calabasas.’ As we left from 2018 going into 2019, I said, ;I’m not going to let one Sunday go by without starting this church.; To start a ministry, I’m like the little drummer boy, where I’m saying, ‘This is all I got to bring, my drum.’ I might not be well versed in the Word, but I know how to make music and I know how to put this choir together. And all things can be made good for God. It qu...

Chris Evans Wants To Know: What’s Inspiring You To Vote This Year?
Today (October 24) is Vote Early Day, and MTV’s been celebrating with the Vote For Your Life Stream digital event, encouraging folks to get out there and cast their ballots. It’s a commemoration loaded with music performances and an onslaught of celeb appearances — and no civic duty-themed broadcast would be complete without Captain America himself, Chris Evans, working in partnership with actor Mark Kassen. The actors joined a video chat with students from the civic engagement program A Starting Point (ASP), run through the democracy-engaging organization Close Up, to ask an important question to young people who are getting the vote out for the very first time in 2020: “What’s the issue that inspired you guys to vote this year?” The answers, of course, were ...
Sacha Baron Cohen on Rudy Giuliani’s “Sexy-Time” Borat Scene: “It Is What It Is”
Borat may think Rudy Giuliani’s hotel encounter was just “innocent sexy-time between a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter,” but the man behind the character has a much different take. In a rare appearance out of character, Sacha Baron Cohen spoke about the incident on Good Morning America on Friday morning. “If the president’s lawyer found what he did there to be appropriate behavior, then heaven knows what he’s done with other female journalists in hotel rooms,” Cohen remarked. “I just urge everyone to watch the movie… it is what it is, he did what he did. Make your own mind to us, but it was pretty clear to us.” In the scene, 24-year-old actress Maria Bakalova, playing the role of Borat’s 15-year-old daughter Tutar Sagdiyev, sits down for an interview with Giuliani in a New York ...
Kid Rock Attended the Presidential Debate and Had to Be Told to Wear a Mask
Joe Biden might have the Avengers in his corner, but Trump is fighting back with… Kid Rock. The Detroit rocker has been seen everywhere, from joining Trump on the golf course to playing at his rallies. He was also in attendance at Thursday night’s debate at Nashville’s Belmont University — where he, unsurprisingly, had to be compelled to wear a mask. Rock was seated near eccentric PGA golfer/fellow Trump supporter John Daly, and they both seemed to think they could just plop down without masks. As face covers were required at the indoor event, a member of the Debate Commission eventually confronted the pair and provided them with masks to put on. As shared by Entertainment Weekly, a priceless picture (seen in the tweet below) captures Rock and Daly looking down in bewilderme...
Kristen Welker Achieves The Seemingly Impossible Of Keeping Order At Final Debate
Source: The Washington Post / Getty Black girl magic was in full effect at the 2020 Presidential Debate after moderator Kristen Welker achieved the seemingly impossible task of maintaining order. On Thursday (Oct. 22), the nation tuned in hesitantly and unsure of what to expect of the second and final 2020 Presidential Debate after Donald Trump‘s embarrassing and abysmal performance and the first debate last month. In a high-stakes debut overseeing a presidential debate where Joe Biden and Trump faced off of for the final time before the election — taking charge of a candidate matchup that proved a bucking bronco for the previous moderator, Chris Wallace of Fox News — Ms. Welker, an NBC anchor, and correspondent, managed to restore order to a quadrennial institution that some believed coul...
Borat’s Daughter Infiltrated the White House Thanks to OAN
Borat pranked every corner of Donald Trump’s regime in his new subsequent moviefilm, including capturing Rudy Giuliani red handed during “innocent sexy-time.” Now, he’s shared a new viral video in which his “15-year-old daughter” infiltrates the White House thanks to a vapid OAN reporter. “Trump very careful who he let into his events and house,” Borat tweeted when sharing the video. “No Covid test necessary — High 5!” In the clip, which does not appear in the film, Borat’s “daughter” Tutar (played by 24-year-old Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova) pretends to job-shadow OAN White House correspondent Chanel Rion as she guides her through the White House. The date listed is September 20th, which was mere days before Trump tested positive for COVID-19. At one point, Tutar appears in ...
Lady Gaga, Michelle Williams & More React to Final Presidential Debate
President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden squared off on Thursday night (Oct. 22) for the last time before the Nov. 3 election.

Barack Obama Slams President Trump During Campaign Speech For Joe Biden
Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty The presence of President Barack Obama is sorely missed by many, considering the leadership helming the White House at the moment. President 44 hit the campaign trail for his former vice president Joe Biden and slammed President Donald Trump by pointing to his poor record of handling the coronavirus pandemic and more. Speaking during a drive-in rally in Philadelphia, properly observing social distancing guidelines like many aren’t on the other side, Obama made several direct jabs at Trump which isn’t typically his style. Going on the offensive but using facts to form his missives, the speech received favorable responses considering the format and what’s ultimately at stake. “I’ve sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. ...
