Longtime Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway has facetiously thanked The View hosts for inviting Kamala Harris on the talk show last month, suggesting that her appearance benefited Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.

Speaking on Fox News on Election Night, the former Trump advisor criticized Kamala Harris’s campaign, saying: “When the Democrats take a look at this candidacy, it’s not going to be that she had too much time, not enough time, she’s just a flawed candidate. She doesn’t speak well; she doesn’t work hard.

“I’m not being mean or partisan. I don’t know why the country would’ve rewarded this candidate with a big job when she couldn’t make the case for what she does as Vice President that affects our lives in a positive way. She was given the opportunity,” Conway, 57, said.

“I personally would like to thank the women of The View tonight for asking those questions, for having her on,” she said, adding: “Oprah, we see you,” referring to her previous sit-down interview with Harris.

“People thought they were doing her a favor because they made her something she’s not. It’s the opposite for Trump. They make him something he’s not – take that one word, take that one line, cherry-pick this,” she said.

Last month, Harris, 60, appeared on the ABC daytime talk show to answer questions from hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro about her campaign.

During the episode, she detailed how her presidency would differ from Joe Biden’s current presidency, and also reacted to Maya Rudolph’s spot-on impression of her on Saturday Night Live.

“She is so good,” Harris said of the actor. “She had the whole thing – the suit, the jewelry, everything!”

Harris’s time on The View came amid an influx in media appearances during the final month leading up to the election. She also sat down for interviews on 60 Minutes and the popular Call Her Daddy podcast.

Despite her attempt to sway voters into electing her as the first female president of the US, former president Donald Trump triumphed to become the first convicted felon to take office.

“I will fight for you, for your family and your future. Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve, and that you deserve,” Trump said after the race was called.

Pledging that his second term would “truly be the golden age of America,” he thanked the American people for the “extraordinary honor.”

In four short months, the president-elect will once again take the oath of office.

MAFS viewers have said they’re starting a petition to a ban a clothing item worn by bride Polly.

On Wednesday night’s episode of the show, Polly, 28, and Adam, 33, headed out on their final date together, and as they strolled outdoors, Polly could be seen wearing a pair of jeans with slits down each side.

The side slits revealed the bride’s legs, and it’s not the first time that Polly has been in this look.

But fans on social media were quick to share their thoughts on the jean design, with many fans saying they weren’t a fan.

One person penned: “I am fully aware that I have been wearing the same jeans for about 75 years, but I hope Polly has binned those awful jeans with the huge split seams.”

A second person added: “Those are some awful jeans – I don’t understand them?”

A third responded: “I think we need to start a petition to ban the flappy open jeans.”

Another MAFS fan wrote: “Polly please bin those jeans,” and someone else penned: “Polly can’t have actually wanted to pay money for those jeans.”

After the episode, another bride shared their support for the jeans and wore some for a photo shared to their social media.

Bride Lacey whacked on a pair of the open slit jeans and wrote to fans: “Girlys I got you!!! Had a few messages regarding my jeans!

“They have a split in them, they are so comfortable and I got so many compliments, link below!!”

Fashion to one side, Polly and Adam’s date didn’t go as planned as the pair ended up having a blazing row in the episode.

After the couple cheered to “us and to the future“, things quickly went south when the careers advisor told her ‘husband’ how she was really feeling.

She fumed: “I feel like you’re not giving me what I want..”

He shot back: “Rather than sit there and go, ‘I care about you…’ before she interjected, ‘That’s what you do.’

But the barber wasn’t having it, raging in tonight’s finale, ‘That’s not what I do!’”

He added in a piece to camera: “The old Polly is slowly creeping back.”

As the ending of the hit dating show nears, there are just four couples left in the experiment – Nathan and Lacey, Adam and Polly, Amy and Luke, and Sacha and Ross.

In Married At First Sight tradition, the couples will each face the final vows where they’ll decided whether or not to stay together.

And The Sun can exclusively reveal that during final vows next week, two couples will decide to stay together while two will split.

The Sun will keep the identities of which two couples break up a secret, so as to not to spoil the surprise for viewers.

Bethenny Frankel has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for spending too much time “hobnobbing with celebrities” during her failed presidential campaign against Donald Trump.

The former Real Housewives of New York City star, 54, said she felt the tactic was not successful with the American public.

In a video posted on her Instagram the day after the election (November 6), Frankel said: “This was the most divisive election that I can recall in my lifetime, the stakes felt so high on both sides, people couldn’t have an opinion.”

She continued: “It’s been like that for a while, but it felt more crystallized here. You couldn’t have an opinion, regardless of who you were voting for. You couldn’t say either candidate didn’t do something you didn’t like… something that wasn’t a good business practice.

“Or something that was in poor taste, you just couldn’t do it,” the Skinnygirl founder said.

“I genuinely did not think that aligning with celebrities is and was a good idea. I don’t think the American public by and large care about who is hobnobbing with celebrities, it’s the forbidden fruit, it’s tempting, it’s right there, it’s the shiny object.”

The reality star, who also appeared on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, continued: “I don’t think its a working model, I’m allowed to have that opinion.

“I thought there were mistakes on both sides but when I expressed an opinion, regardless of who I was voting for, I was attacked on both sides and attacking each other and fighting in the comments.

“We live in a democracy and the people have spoken, the decision has been made,” she concluded. “The country has to come together.”

Throughout the 2024 election campaign, Harris received broad support from celebrities, including Leonardo Di Caprio, Jennifer Aniston, and Beyoncé. While Trump had fewer celebrity endorsements, he did receive the backing of billionaire Elon Musk and the influential podcast host Joe Rogan.

In the wake of Trump’s victory yesterday, many celebrities have taken to social media to respond to his reelection.

Days after calling out Musk for his Trump support, horror author Stephen King shared his views in what he deemed his last post on X/Twitter. “There’s a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT’S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy.”

Ariana Grande, who’s set to star in the film adaptation of Wicked later this month, also wrote: “Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today.”

SHOCKED Shetland viewers have branded the show “mad” after it returned to the BBC with a very dramatic first scene.

Crime fans were left on the edge of their seats within the first two minutes of series nine kicking off.

The first episode began with DI Ruth Calder, played by Ashley Jensen, sitting in a kitchen while wearing a coat and scarf.

Seconds later, it was revealed she was looking down the barrel of a gun, held by a mad man called Malcolm Kidd.

DI Calder asks him: “Do you not think we should cover him up, eh?

“Let’s give your brother a bit of dignity.”

With the BBC drama already reaching fever pitch, the camera suddenly revealed a dead man lying face down in a pool of blood.

Fans couldn’t believe their eyes, with many flocking to social media to share their shock.

One viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Well that’s some opening, right into a mad scene.”

Another added: “Not bothering with the slow build up then?”

And a third chimed in: “An interesting opening for Shetland tonight!”

As the episode unfolded, viewers learned that the dead man was Malcolm’s brother Andrew Kidd.

Malcolm shot him in the head with a gun, with it emerging that Andrew had been sleeping with his fiancée.

Shetland is now in its 9th series, having first hit the small screen in March 2013.

Ashley took over the lead role from Douglas Henshall in series 8, after he bowed out of playing DI Jimmy Perez since the first episode.

Last week, Ashley told The Sun’s TV Mag that a 10th series of the crime drama has also been commissioned.

The actress said: “I thought, I can’t afford to think, is this going to run for another series or another series or whatever?

“I just thought six episodes of a self-contained show and that’s great.

“So to be commissioned for two series on the back of that with seven point something million viewers was great.

“It was huge. It was a real positive.”

Shetland series guide

By Conor O’Brien

Crime drama Shetland debuted on BBC One back in 2013. With over a decade under its belt, here is a look at the show’s journey so far.

Douglas Henshall led the cast in the first seven series, playing DI Jimmy Perez. However, the actor’s departure from Shetland was announced in 2022.

In his place, Ugly Betty alum Ashley Jensen took over, playing newcomer DI Ruth Calder.

• Series One: Ederly Shetlander, Mima Wilson is found murdered. DI Pérez and the team suspect the murder is linked to the Haldane family (to whom Mima was related) and the Shetland bus.
• Series Two: DI Pérez and the team investigate the murder of teenager Catherine Ross. Along the way, they find links to local recluse Magnus Bain – and a seven-year-old’s unsolved disappearance two decades earlier.
• Series Three: A young man disappears on a ferry crossing and a small boy ends up in intensive care after overdosing on Ecstasy. DI Pérez and the team become convinced the two events are linked.
• Series Four: Convicted murderer Thomas Malone returns to Shetland, prompting DI Pérez and the team to reopen a 23-year cold case. That case concerns Lizzie Kilmuir, who had been found strangled to death in a lime kiln. However, things take a turn when a local journalist is killed, in apparently a copy of Lizzie’s murder.
• Series Five: After severed parts are discovered on a Shetland beach, the victim is determined to be a Nigerian man who’d been looking for his sister. However, the investigation leads Pérez to suspect the murder has ties to a human trafficking ring.
• Series Six: A local lawyer is shot dead on the day of Pérez’s mother’s funeral. The team focus on two of the lawyer’s case – but are impeded by a teenager running a crime blog.
• Series Seven: In Pérez’s final series on Shetland, the run starts as he is cleared of wrongdoing by the police tribunal. In his final act, Pérez lets an innocent man – who had been due to be executed for allegedly killing an American citzen – go free while he resigned from the police.
• Series Eight: DI Ruth Calder, who grew up in Shetland, takes over Pérez’s old role. In one of Calder’s first cases, a young woman flees to Shetland after witnessing a police informant being murdered by hitmen in London.

The Ugly Betty and Extras star added that she was “very much thrilled” to be continuing in the show.

Meanwhile, returning regulars include Steven Robertson as Detective Sandy Wilson and Lewis Howden as Sergeant Billy McBride.

Harry Potter actor Ian Hart has taken on the role of Euan Rossi in Shetland’s new series.

Shetland airs on BBC1 and is available on iPlayer.

MARRIED At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau dropped a massive hint about his relationship with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu two months ago.

Georges, who starred in last year’s series of MAFS UK, revealed he was enjoying a “dream” romance with someone new in September.

It came after he also asked Ekin-Su to ‘call him’ during a podcast chat.

The Sun has now exclusively revealed that Georges, 31, is dating the 30-year-old Turkish actress, who found fame on Love Island.

Fresh from her bitter break-up with Davide Sanclimenti at the beginning of the year, it is the first time Ekin-Su has been linked to a new man.

Georges let slip his relationship during an interview about his life following his split with wife Peggy seven months previously.

He said he had left overwhelmed by the sheer number of messages from women wanting to date him, but used his “intuition” to find his new girlfriend.

Georges told The Sun two months ago: “For however long I was single, I basically had the biggest conveyor belt ever. It was frightening. It was like, ‘Oh, my God! This is ridiculous’.”

Speaking about his new lady, who we now know to be Ekin-Su, he continued: “I just listened to my heart.

“I met the individual. I’m not going to go into too much detail, but you know, it’s just been everything that I’ve dreamed of.”

The Sun revealed on Wednesday how Georges and Ekin-Su are dating each other.

Ekin-Su was spotted heading to the gym with the sports rehabilitation practitioner and content creator, although they tried to avoid being spotted together.

The new couple arrived in Georges car but they headed to work out in the gym separately.

This is the first time Ekin-Su has been spotted with a new man since she parted ways with Davide in January.

The couple had won the 2022 series of Love Island but they had a tricky time after leaving the villa.

The on-off couple then finally called it quits a month before Ekin’s disastrous stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

She later told how Davide’s “endless deceit” led to the breakdown of their 18-month relationship.

Georges, meanwhile, got married to Peggy Rose on last year’s series of Married At First Sight UK.

However, Peggy announced their marriage was over on Valentine’s Day and she accused him of cheating on her. Georges vehemently denied her accusations.

Following their break-up, Georges admitted that he had his eye on Ekin-Su during a podcast interview.

Speaking on Wedding Mayhem, he looked at the camera and said: “Ekin-Su, give me a call.

“My number is…” Georges mobile number was then bleeped out.

Yellowstone director Christina Voros has shed light on how the show plans to come to an end, despite its star Kevin Costner’s unexpected, premature exit earlier this year.

Ahead of the hit Western’s long-awaited return this month, Voros addressed how Costner’s character, John Dutton, remains an “essential component” to the show’s final episodes.

“John Dutton is still central,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “His presence is integral. I think to say any more than that would potentially compromise all the work that went into redacting the scripts!

“But I think the reason people are wondering, ‘Is he, isn’t he? Where is he, where is he not?’ is because he is the patriarch and his presence is an essential component to the story.”

Costner, who led Yellowstone as the Montana landowner and Dutton family patriarch for four seasons, announced he was departing the hit series in June.

“I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5b or into the future,” he said in an Instagram video. “It was something that really changed me. I loved it, and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning.”

Early reports suggested that his exit was due to a falling out with the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, over scheduling conflicts allegedly caused by the actor’s desire to shoot his Western passion project, Horizon – An American Saga.

However, Costner later disputed these claims, saying that had been prepared and ready to shoot whenever he was required, but the production kept getting pushed back.

“I did it for five years, and I wanted to work more than once a year,” he said on a June episode of the Today Show. “We lost an entire year at one point, and I thought, that can’t happen again.”

He added that he “would love to go back” to Yellowstone, albeit “under the right circumstances.”

Yellowstone returns with the second part of its fifth and final season on November 10 on Paramount+ at 8pm ET/PT.

While the series is coming to an end, Sheridan isn’t done expanding the world of Yellowstone. In fact, he recently announced that Michelle Pfeiffer is set to lead the forthcoming Yellowstone sequel series The Madison.

The new series will follow a family of New Yorkers who relocate to the Madison River valley in central Montana. It is set to deal with themes of grief and human connection.
