Last night, Kamala Harris held an amazing rally in Clarkston, Georgia. Bruce Springsteen performed, Senator Warnock spoke, Tyler Perry spoke, Barack Obama spoke, and then Obama introduced VP Harris and they stood on stage like America?s first two Black presidents (God willing). It was an amazing event and cable news covered a lot of it. On the other side, apparently JD Vance IS campaigning, but it?s like no one is following him or giving him any coverage? And every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he makes some new authoritarian promise. Yesterday?s promise was that he would fire special prosecutor Jack Smith if he wins the presidency. You better believe Trump will do it too.
Today, VP Harris will be in Houston, Texas. It?s a bold move for the final fortnight of the election cycle, but the Texas trip has multiple purposes. As always, there?s a dream of Blexas (Blue Texas) and the demographics are encouraging. There?s a very competitive senate race and Texas voters might actually fire Ted Cruz. And VP Harris wants to shine a spotlight on Texas?s grotesque anti-choice laws, which are specifically about punishing and abusing women. Yesterday, the Harris campaign confirmed something new about her stop in Texas: Beyonce will be there. Beyonce will PERFORM.
Vice President Kamala Harris might have traveled on Friday to Philadelphia or Milwaukee for the umpteenth time, but motivating tuned-out voters in battleground states required something different.
So her campaign engineered a trip to Houston ? the largest city in Texas, decidedly not a presidential battleground state ? where she would be joined at a rally by Beyonc and the country music legend Willie Nelson, both beloved natives of the state. Their ability to transcend traditional politics, Harris aides hope, will deliver the sort of viral content that cuts through a cluttered media environment.
Ms. Harris?s rally in Houston will focus on the strict abortion ban enacted in Texas after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and is meant to offer a warning about the potential spread of such restrictions to voters in faraway states who will soon decide this year?s presidential election.

We?ve been here before with the Beyonce rumors. I still can?t believe how badly everyone got it wrong at the DNC. We really thought Beyonce would perform!! And in the end, the special guest star was Leon Panetta. So no, I won?t believe that Beyonce is performing at a Harris rally until I actually see her on stage. And Willie Nelson will be there too? Amazing. Y?all think it?s going to be Cowboy Carter songs or will Beyonce do ?Freedom,? which is the anthem of the Harris campaign? What if Bey does ?Spaghetti??? I aint in no gang, but I got shooters and I bang, bang?

| | Matt Healy: A lot of artists 'become very interested in their lore' & write songs about it | | Added 7 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I still remember the dawning realization, via Swiftie Nation, that Taylor Swift?s The Tortured Poets Department was about Matt Healy and not Joe Alwyn. The Swifties really believed TTPD would be the album where Taylor finally explained to them why Joe Alwyn was a villain and why they should rip him to shreds. Instead, TTPD was full of songs about Healy and their brief, chaotic and intense relationship in 2023. If you ask me, Midnights had a lot of stuff about the end of her relationship with Alwyn, which is funny because she released Midnights when she was still technically with Alwyn (but probably fooling around with Healy). In any case, Tay?s relationship with Healy really fked her up and she dealt with it by writing A LOT of music about him. Will Matt Healy do the same? Nope.
When writing music, Matty Healy would rather not touch on his personal life. During an appearance on Joshua Citarella?s Doomscroll podcast on Tuesday, Oct. 22, The 1975 frontman revealed his thoughts on writing songs about previous relationships.
Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons. The only reason that I was interested in is kind of like, what I was doing, Healy, 35, who dated Taylor Swift for a few months in 2023, said.
So I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that, he continued. And fair enough, do you know what I mean?
On The 1975s first record, Healy was more open to writing about heartbreak and all these stories about relationships ? but he doesnt feel the need to do that anymore.
I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don?t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be that I?ve kind of become known for, just because I was famous, he said. I think that that?s an obvious thing to draw from. And I?m just not interested in it. And I think like, the maintenance of the status quo is something that I always fight against. So the idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it?s not interesting.

Why is this so funny to me? ?I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore.? It?s true! It?s crazy that Matt Fking Healy is the one pointing it out too. Taylor LOVES her lore. Taylor is obsessed with adding to her lore and directing the narratives about her lore. As is her right she?s made a lot of money on dissecting and adding to her lore, and her fans love it too. Now, do I believe that Healy will never reference his thing with Taylor lyrically or musically? Eh. I honestly don?t listen to The 1975 so I have no idea if their music is ever confessional or directly ?about? certain relationships. But I bet Healy will write some music about Taylor or about everything around it. I mean, he?s still referencing Taylor and their relationship in interviews, you know? Granted, that?s what people ask him.

| | Trump supporter Mel Gibson on Kamala Harris: 'she's got the IQ of a fence post' | | Added 7 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The last two stories we wrote about Mel Gibson were in 2021 and 2020. In 2020, he went so far as to issue a statement calling Winona Ryder a liar after she told a story about Mel once referring to her as an ?oven dodger.? In 2021, Mel also made news by saluting Donald Trump at a UFC fight. For Mel Gibson, there is a rich tapestry of violent misogyny, antisemitism, racism and white supremacy to mine at any given time. One of those times was this week, when a TMZ cameraman/paparazzo asked Mel about the election.
Kamala Harris has decidedly proven to be the more popular presidential candidate among talent in the entertainment industry this election, with recent campaign rally appearances including Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Julia Roberts and Spike Lee. But Donald Trump can now count a new Hollywood name among his supporters: Mel Gibson. In a new video published by TMZ on Thursday evening, Gibson offered a brief interview to a cameraman while heading toward TSA at an airport.
?I don?t think it?s going to surprise anyone who I vote for,? Gibson said. The cameraman, after some thought, answers with, ?I?m gonna guess Trump. Is that a bad guess??
?I think that?s a pretty good guess,? Gibson responded. ?I know what it?ll be like if we let her in. And that ain?t good. Miserable track record. No policies to speak of. She?s got the IQ of a fence post.?
Gibson, one of the most in-demand marquee actors of the end of the 20th century and an Oscar-winning director for ?Braveheart,? hasn?t been the most vocal political mind in the press in recent years, though he was documented saluting former President Trump near a UFC match in 2021. The actor?s jab at Harris echoes a frequent line of attack against Harris by Trump, who has been wont to call her a ?low IQ? candidate in recent campaign appearances.

?She?s got the IQ of a fence post? as Mel describes his support for a sundowning 78 year old Nazi who literally stopped a town hall to sway to music for 37 minutes. I mean, birds of a feather, like attracts like, Nazi fork found in Nazi kitchen. Of course Mel Gibson loves Donald Trump. They truly have the same views on women, violence, racism, antisemitism, Nazis and more.

I?m not ready to talk about or think about Christmas right now. I don?t get into the Christmas spirit until after Halloween. But the Windsors are different, and their Christmas plans began months ago. King Charles had a big Christmas celebration last year, his second as king, inviting some of his extended family and Camillas family to Sandringham and doing a big show of walking to church on Christmas day. But this year has been hard on Charles, given his cancer diagnosis and his treatment. So it?s time for Prince William and Kate to start throwing their weight around and making Christmas all about them! So says Tom Sykes at the Daily Beast, who wrote a very long-winded piece about how Will and Kate might do a social media video about their very normal, middle-class Christmas at Anmer Hall. Some highlights:
A very Middleton Christmas: Royal Christmas customs beloved of generations of sovereigns are facing the chop due to King Charles? health crisis. Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, will put a heavy stamp on the royal Christmas this year, the Daily Beast has been told. William and Kate are expected to host a ?rival Christmas party? at their home on the Sandringham estate, Anmer Hall, with Kate?s family including her parents, Mike and Carole, in attendance. It will be notable for its studied informality.
A quieter Sandringham Christmas: A friend of Andrew?s told The Daily Beast: ?It will be a quieter Christmas than last year, but the question is, how quiet? Usually everyone would know what bits they are invited to by now. This year, it?s just wait and see.? Some things never change, however, and sources say the bloodthirsty royal tradition of a pheasant and partridge shooting party on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) will go ahead as usual, although Charles is expected to make at best a fleeting appearance, with the honor of leading the shoot falling to William instead. The traditional, full-family Christmas walk to church is planned to proceed as normal.
Christmas is about to get less religious: One source said this means there will be much more messaging this year from William and Kate?s camp of a ?middle class flavor,? emphasizing eating chocolate, movie marathons, and generally sliding off the couch in a tryptophan haze like everyone else. The source, a former courtier who worked with William and Kate, said they had been told the couple (neither of whom are especially religious) would take to social media over the holidays, sharing moments of their family Christmas. ?A little social media of the family eating chocolate and watching TV would be a very effective way of showing how normal Christmas is at Anmer Hall compared to what we hear about at Sandringham,? the source said.
Abandoning the Germanic traditions: Another out-of-touch habit that it is said to be high on Kate?s list of things to change is the royal custom of handing out presents on Christmas Eve, instead of giving gifts on Christmas Day as is usual in England. The Germanic tradition was established by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in deference to his Teutonic roots. Queen Elizabeth, a great admirer of Victoria, approved of the unusual gift-giving schedule, sources have previously told The Daily Beast, as she disliked extravagance and overt expressions of consumerism. She preferred Christmas Day to have a sacred note. William and Kate have long been considered likely to scrap the custom of gift-giving on Christmas Eve, which they are acutely aware paints them as ?weird? to the general public, when they ascend to the throne. The tradition is expected to survive in some form this year, but it will be depleted.
Presents are for Christmas morning: A friend of William and Kate?s told The Daily Beast: ?Kate has always found the presents on Christmas Eve thing weird. It is definitely going to be got rid of when they are officially running things. I imagine it will continue this year at Sandringham in some shape or form but everything is going to be much more relaxed and have a middle-class flavor at Anmer Hall. You can bet your bottom dollar they will be doing proper presents for each other and the kids there on Christmas Day.?
The Waleses will skip Christmas lunch too: The Waleses have often not attended Christmas Day lunch at the ?big house? at Sandringham, preferring the informality of a relaxed lunch at Anmer Hall, and they are unlikely to attend this year, especially if Queen Camilla again invites her son Tom Parker Bowles. William doesn?t much like Camilla, despite having made peace with his father?s choices, and is made nervous by Tom?s somewhat louche lifestyle, sources have previously told the Daily Beast.
A Christmas coup: The friend said that William was ?enthusiastic about embracing Kate?s much more normal conception of Christmas,? adding, ?It?s always been a slightly covert, rival Christmas party at their house, but it?s going to be much more obvious this year. If they post pictures, it?ll be an official coup attempt.?
The ?normal & boring? brand: A communications executive who previously worked with Kate and William told The Daily Beast: ?William and Kate have made an incredibly successful brand out of being normal and boring, but the crazy royal customs at Christmas threaten all that. It?s particularly damaging to their reputation because Christmas is the one time that everybody in the whole country actually pays attention to the royals, and it risks getting overshadowed by stories about these strange, elitist, aristocratic habits. It?s not surprising they want to change the narrative as they prepare to take the throne themselves.?
[From The Daily Beast]
The mention of William?s dislike of Tom Parker Bowles is interesting, because I suspect that at the ?big house? at Sandringham, it will be another huge showing for the Parker Bowles clan. Camilla will once again invite her kids and grandkids and maybe even her ex-husband. Meanwhile, she?s ensuring that there?s a Christmas wedge between Charles and the only son he speaks to regularly. Camilla is fine with the arrangement of Will and Kate going off to Anmer to have their private, middle-class Christmas. Charles is fine with it as well. And if Will and Kate really do post videos from inside Anmer of their Christmas celebration? lmao. I mean, it won?t be a ?coup,? but it will be desperate and funny. But I?m with Kate on ?presents should be opened on Christmas morning.?
