Fox Business host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery are taking Hollywood celebrities to task for promoting socialism. In a monologue Thursday, Kennedy said that stars like Sean Penn and Jim Carrey embracing left-wing politics was comparable to drug addiction. “Everyone wants to be liked.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Every morning, Meripet wakes up to her nightmare: The Chinese government has turned four of her children into orphans, even though she and their father are alive. Meripet and her husband left the kids with their grandmother at home in China when they went to nurse Meripet's sick father in Turkey. But after Chinese authorities started locking up thousands of their fellow ethnic Uighurs for alleged subversive crimes such as travel abroad, a visit became exile.

When Captain Marvel crashes down to Earth, she ends up in a Blockbuster Video store — just in case you weren’t aware of which decade the Brie Larson Marvel movie takes place. A “Conan” recut on Thursday really leaned in to the rental options there. In Conan O’Brien’s version, Larson’s superhero considers everything from “Tootsie” and “Weekend at Bernie’s” to “Jane Fonda’s New Workout” and “Dorf on Golf.” But she’s not just poking around the VHS selection.

Political parties are barred from participating in the vote. Amnesty... Читать дальше...

Jack Black is basically a nine-year-old with a (terrible) gray beard, so it’s only natural that the actor join Jimmy Fallon for the latest “Tonight Show” “Kid Theater.” These mini-plays were all themed to Black’s new movie, “The House With a Clock in Its Walls.” Let’s just say they weren’t exactly Shakespeare, and the rap song from the final scene wasn’t quite Eminem.

Here are some memorably quirky highlights of outfielder Hunter Pence’s six-plus years with the Giants: August 2012: Giants fans get a first-hand look at Pence’s distinctive uniform style, after San Francisco acquires him in a July 31 trade from Philadelphia. When most ballplayers pull up their uniform pants to show their socks, they pull them up to below their knees. Pence pulls them up above his knees. It’s a comfort thing. He doesn’t like his pants tugging on him as he runs. His pants are so high, it’s almost as if he’s running in shorts. Читать дальше...

Hunter Pence gets cheered when he steps out of the dugout. When he takes the field. When he’s introduced as a pinch-hitter. When he gets a big hit. Even when he makes an out. Pence is treated like a legend — an overused word, but perhaps fitting in this case — and a two-time champion who was instrumental and inspirational at the height of the Giants’ glory days. Because that’s who he is, even though he’s hitting a career-worst .211. Pence remains a crowd favorite despite his struggles, despite the team’s struggles... Читать дальше...

Daphne Merkin, the author of that much-discussed profile of Soon-Yi Previn, spoke out Thursday accusing critics of her piece of being “sexist” and “racist.” “My intention was to let a silenced woman’s voice be heard. Far from seeing the piece as anti-feminist, I think the attacks on it are sexist (even — or especially — when made by women) and more than a tad racist,” she told the New York Post in an email.
