People Have Fox News Derangement About California!!!
Published
Gavin Newsom gave all those California haters on the right a piece of his mind on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” saying they all have Fox News derangement while also giving a shoutout to TMZ!
The California governor sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday night’s show — and, at one point during their discussion, Jimmy guided the convo to the Golden State.
ABC
Jimmy asked Gavin where people are getting their news about California, implying their getting bad info about the state. Newsom responded, “Well Fox derangement … it’s 24/7 the California derangement syndrome.”
Newsom also slammed Fox and other networks as pure propaganda for always focusing on what’s wrong. Gavin said those networks broadcast negative California stories because the state’s success runs contrary to their world view.
As Gavin rattled off the state’s accomplishments, Jimmy quickly chimed in, adding to the list, “The TMZ Tour.” Gavin agreed, and even repeated Jimmy’s words.
So don’t miss out folks. Get on the TMZ Tour bus. After all, the governor loves it!

David and Victoria Beckham Wish Estranged Son Brooklyn a Happy Birthday
David and Victoria Beckham
Happy Birthday to our Estranged Son Brooklyn!!!
Published
David and Victoria Beckham may not have spoken to their eldest child Brooklyn Beckham in months … but they’re making sure he feels the birthday love as he turns 27!
That’s right — the famous couple took a moment to celebrate Brooklyn’s special day by posting a throwback photo of them in a pool together when he was a child. David posted the smiley snap and called him by his nickname, Bust, in his birthday message and added “Love you x” while also tagging Victoria.
The retired pro soccer player shared a similar message with a separate years-old snap of just him and Brooklyn as well.
Victoria showered him with love, too … posting the same pool pic as David and a throwback of her playing with Brooklyn outside when he was just a tot in a diaper.
As you know, the trio’s relationship has had headlines spinning ever since Brooklyn walked down the aisle with Nicola Peltz in April 2022 … with rumors that Nicola did not get along with Victoria.
We kept you updated on their feud throughout 2025, and Brooklyn broke his silence about the ordeal in January by sharing a scathing message about his parents and their intentions to ruin his marriage.
In the shocking post, he said his parents only care about their family image and even addressed the rumor that Victoria stole his first dance with Nicola, writing … “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
CNBC
David briefly spoke about his son’s words in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” saying … “Children are allowed to make mistakes … you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”

She began by saying, “I said what the f*** I said. You gonna find every clip on Kentrell talking about me or saying what the f*** you say about me. I’m gonna ride for my motherf*** children regardless. I know what I know. Everybody around me know what the f*** they know.”

Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin’s Relationship
Cameron Bure announced her exit from Hallmark Channel after more than a decade of working for the network, following former CEO Bill Abbott to his new venture, Great American Family. Months later, she opened up about her reasoning, ruffling a few feathers in the process.
“I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment,” Cameron Bure told The Wall Street Journal’s WSJ. Magazine in November 2022, adding that the network “will keep traditional marriage at the core” when asked about LGBTQ+ movies.
Her remarks caused controversy with fans and celebs alike, including JoJo Siwa, who publicly feuded with Cameron Bure earlier that year after calling the Full House alum the rudest celebrity she’d ever met.
“I would like to address my comments on Great American Family’s programming as reported in The Wall Street Journal. All of you who know me, know beyond question that I have great love and affection for all people. It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone. It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn’t be surprised. We need Christmas more than ever,” Cameron Bure wrote in a statement amid the backlash. “I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do. If you know me, you know that I am a person who loves fiercely and indiscriminately. My heart yearns to build bridges and bring people one step closer to God, to love others well, and to simply be a reflection of God’s huge love for all of us.”
She continued: “I have long wanted to find a home for more faith-based programming. I am grateful to be an integral part of a young and growing network. I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I encourage and fully support. I’ve never been interested in proselytizing through my storytelling, but in celebrating God’s greatness in our lives through the stories I tell. The God we serve is a wildly creative and loving God. He didn’t just capture a small part of my heart, He has captured all of my heart. He will be reflected in everything I do and say; in my family, my work and my interactions with people from all walks of life, God’s love and God’s compassion is front and center.”
Sweetin, meanwhile, seemingly backed Siwa after she clapped back at Cameron Bure’s “traditional marriage” remarks.
“You know I love you ❤️❤️,” Sweetin commented on Siwa’s Instagram post at the time.

Christian Bale and Michael Mann’s Last Movie Together Shows Why ‘Heat 2’ Makes Sense
The curious case of Heat 2 appears to have found some resolution. After years of speculation surrounding the plot, casting, financing, and filming of Michael Mann‘s adaptation of his sequel novel to his beloved crime epic, cast member Christian Bale confirmed that shooting will begin soon. While the rest of the details remain unknown, Heat 2 looks to be a showdown between Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio, a worthy parallel to the original film’s double-billing of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. One of the finest actors of his generation, Bale previously worked with Mann on one of the director’s less renowned films, Public Enemies. The 2009 ambitious crime drama, also starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard, is carried by a sensational Bale as the taciturn FBI agent Melvin Purvis. His performance captures all the essential Mann hallmarks, proving that he is ready to take on the weight of Heat‘s legacy.
Christian Bale Gives a Brilliantly Subtle Performance in ‘Public Enemies’
When news first broke that Michael Mann would be directing another cops vs. criminals saga about the birth of the FBI and pursuit of John Dillinger (Depp) set in the Great Depression, everyone likely expected Heat 2.0. Rather than a guns-blazing, immaculately crafted, and operatic crime epic, audiences received Mann’s most off-kilter film, one that was slow, internalized, and experimental. At the very least, you could’ve counted on a gorgeous re-creation of the American Midwest in the ’30s, but instead, Mann opted for high-definition digital photography that washed out most of the color and beauty of the period architecture.
In most gangster movies, filmmakers are drawn towards the perverse charm of the outlaws evading and disrupting law enforcement. Going back to Manhunter, Mann has shown equal, if not more, interest in the side of justice, particularly addled men who share more commonalities with the crook than one would like to imagine. Notorious bank robber John Dillinger’s story would be a solid basis for generic crime dramas, but Mann’s account of this vulnerable period in America is a two-hander with Melvin Purvis and the FBI. Depp’s performance is effective, imbuing the prodigious figure with the striking presence of a modern-day legend, but the real star of Public Enemies is Bale, who gave a remarkably unshowy performance in a year in between the releases of The Dark Knight and his Oscar win for The Fighter.
Christian Bale Perfected the Michael Mann Character Archetype in ‘Public Enemies’
Known for his intense screen presence and committed method acting, Christian Bale is perfect for Michael Mann, but not in the way that you might suspect. The most unheralded aspects of Bale’s versatility are embedded in Public Enemies. The disjointed nature of the film is a product of actors seemingly operating in other movies, as is often the case for Depp and Cotillard. Bale, however, understands the heart of the story and Mann’s deconstruction of cops versus crooks narratives. Purvis is devoid of any notion of traditional heroism, as he appears to be driven by an ineffable source beyond his duties as an officer of the law. He is transfixed by shutting down Dillinger’s bootlegging as a means to preserve his worth and masculine excellence, one of Mann’s defining character traits. With the dawn of the FBI emerged a wave of new advanced technology like wire-tapping and fingerprint catalogs, and Purvis deploys these tactics to push his field into the future, similar to Mann’s groundbreaking formalism on the screen.
Despite being on the right side of the law, Purvis resembles the mission of Mann’s notable criminal figures, such as Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) from Heat and Vincent (Tom Cruise) in Collateral. His resolute nature towards a single objective and stripping out all distractions in life clouds his virtuous service to his country as something more sinister. It wouldn’t be a Mann film if the protagonist and antagonist didn’t have a kinship, as Dillinger and Purvis echo the dynamic between Neil and Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) in Heat, who treat their cat-and-mouse chase as an athletic competition. They should loathe each other, but deep down, there is a mutual reverence between Mann’s heroes and villains, with both sides blurring the line between good and evil. Purvis’ use of torture during interrogation and Dillinger’s charm and Robin Hood glorification by the public make you question what exactly defines a hero.
Christian Bale has already outlined the blueprint for the ideal Michael Mann character in Public Enemies, even if the film itself didn’t always support his superb work. No matter what side of the law Bale will occupy in the highly anticipated Heat 2, his body of work proves that his preternatural skills as an austere actor are destined to make the sequel stand on its own.
Public Enemies is available to rent or buy on VOD services.
