President Donald Trump Reacts to Barack Obama Saying Aliens Exist
President Donald Trump has reacted to Barack Obama’s comments that aliens are real.
Claiming his presidential predecessor overstepped national security rules, Trump, 79, told Fox News on Thursday, February 19 that Obama “gave classified information.”
“He’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump added. “I don’t know if they’re real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.”
Trump said he didn’t “have an opinion” on whether extraterrestrial life exists, noting, “I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it.”
Speaking to reporters, Trump then hinted that he planned to release any government files related to extraterrestrial life.
“I may get [Obama] out of trouble by declassifying,” Trump told Fox News.
Later taking to social media, Trump again claimed he intended to declassify information surrounding the potential existence of aliens.
“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters,” Trump said in the social media post.
Referencing aliens while speaking to political podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen on February 13, Obama, who served as the 44th President of the U.S. from 2009 to 2017, claimed, “They’re real.”
Obama stated that although he believes extraterrestrial life exists, he has not personally encountered any evidence that confirms it.
“But I haven’t seen them,” he continued. “They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.”

Two days later, Obama clarified his remarks via an Instagram post after the comments were widely reported on.
“I was trying to stick with the spirit of [Cohen’s] speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify,” he wrote. “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low.”
Obama concluded, “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”
President Donald Trump has plenty to say about George Clooney‘s new life as a French citizen. “Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of […]
In September 2025, Congress held a hearing in which House members questioned five witnesses — including former military members — about their alleged encounters with “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” or UAPs.
“I’m here to provide a first-hand account of what I saw,” Alexandro Wiggins, a member of the U.S. Navy, testified at the time, alleging he saw a UAP on February 15, 2023, while aboard the USS Jackson off the southern California coast.
Wiggins insisted that what he witnessed flying overhead was “not consistent with conventional aircraft or drones.”
Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2021, Obama said he wanted to know about aliens when he became president of the United States.
“The truth is, that when I came into office, I asked, ‘Is there a lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceship?’” he said on the talk show.

With human experiences being so subjective, it’s easy to overhype a movie. Whatever things happened to you in the lead-up to seeing that movie could influence how you feel about it, and if someone tells you that something is the best thing ever, it could set your expectations too high and leave you disappointed. That being said, I still think Rutger Hauer’s climactic speech in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is one of the best things ever depicted in a movie.
Blade Runner is generally regarded as a sci-fi masterpiece, even separated from Hauer’s speech, and it has an 89 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes (which is too low). It also says a lot that Harrison Ford’s starring role as futuristic cop Rick Deckard is just one step or so below Han Solo and Indiana Jones in terms of iconic movie characters. In addition to him and Hauer, the movie stars Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, and Daryl Hannah.
What Is the Great ‘Blade Runner’ Quote?
The plot of Blade Runner concerns Rick Deckard’s mission to “retire” (meaning kill) a group of rogue replicants — essentially advanced robots that are practically indistinguishable from humans but often have superior strength and intelligence. Replicants have predetermined lifespans, and the rogue ones in the movie are mostly just trying to find a way to prolong their brief lives. Eventually, Deckard tracks them all down and kills them except for one, Hauer’s Roy Batty, who was designed for military combat.
Batty and Deckard fight, with Batty easily winning just as his lifespan is about to end. Given a chance to let Deckard die, Batty saves his life instead and laments the fact that his own life is over:
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
And then he dies, releasing a dove that he had grabbed and letting it fly up into the sky.
Why Is the ‘Blade Runner’ Speech So Incredible?
There are a lot of reasons why this is so good: First, Hauer’s delivery is both chilling and heartbreaking, and every word seems carefully considered — the way he says “people,” as if he’s spitting out venom, is particularly brilliant. There’s also the fact, which may not be clear to people who aren’t big Blade Runner fans, that he’s not referring to things that are ever acknowledged in the movie. We don’t know what it means for C-beams to glitter near the Tannhäuser Gate, because we don’t know what any of those things are. It underlines the fact that Batty has had life experiences beyond what anyone else can comprehend, and, when he dies, they’ll just be gone.
Even better: Hauer largely came up with the speech himself, with the “tears in rain” bit being his own improvisation. Different versions of the speech had been written in the script, but Hauer thought they were all a little much and cut out most of it without telling anyone because he wanted to preserve what he thought Batty’s thought process would be at the moment of his death. Ridley Scott evidently approved, because it’s in the movie, and it has helped make Blade Runner an unforgettable sci-fi classic.

NBA YoungBoy Shares Message Amid Yaya Mayweather & Mellow Rackz’ Back-And-Forth
On Thursday, February 19, while Yaya Mayweather and Mellow Rackz were lighting the internet up with their heated exchange, NBA YoungBoy took to X, formerly known as Twitter. This, to share a brief statement, seemingly signaling that he was unaware of their back-and-forth, or perhaps unbothered.
“Capitalize, f**k all that waiting,” he tweeted.

More On Yaya Mayweather & Mellow Rackz’ Back-And-Forth
As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, a new blog was shared on Jazlyn Mychelle’s YouTube channel, and a clip showed her giving a pregnancy update. However, fans couldn’t help but notice a huge rock on Mychelle’s finger. Subsequently, Pristin Jewelers confirmed that NBA YoungBoy upgraded her ring.
Subsequently, Yaya Mayweather shared footage of her dream engagement ring. This, while seemingly throwing shade at Mychelle’s new rock, calling it a lab diamond.
Subsequently, Mellow shaded Mayweather, saying the ring was certified and she should “cry about it.” In turn, Mayweather accused Mellow of being friendly to someone with whom she’s sleeping with their husband. From there, their beef was ignited, and they went back and forth about luxury items, alleged Ls.
At some point, a separate woman called out Mellow for flossing pictures from an apparent photoshoot in her closet. Mayweather jumped in there, too.
Ultimately, things between Mellow and Mayweather subsided, with Mayweather returning to X to share that she’s thinking about streaming.

The Year’s Most Baffling Oscar Nomination Is This Underseen Documentary Now on Streaming
This year’s Academy Awards nominations had no shortage of surprises, including Kate Hudson’s nomination for Best Actress, Jurassic World Rebirth’s recognition for Best Visual Effects, and the complete absence of Wicked: For Good. However, the biggest head-scratcher of the Oscar nominations was the nomination for the documentary Viva Verdi! in the Best Original Song category for the single “Sweet Dreams of Joy.” Viva Verdi!’s nomination seemingly came at the expense of “Dream as One” from Avatar: Fire and Ash, “Highest 2 Lowest” from Highest 2 Lowest, “Drive” from F1, and both songs from Wicked: For Good, but what was most surprising is that most awards prognosticators didn’t seem to even have the film on their radar. Viva Verdi! had only debuted in select theaters to qualify, and wasn’t selected for the shortlist for Best Documentary, or any other categories for that matter.
Even if the Best Original Song category has been subjected to criticism (specifically due to its unyielding support for Diane Warren), the nomination for Viva Verdi! sheds a spotlight on a film that wouldn’t have received the recognition otherwise. The 80-minute documentary explores the lives of retired opera singers and other musicians who have taken up residence in Casa Verdi, a retirement community in Milan that was named for its founder, Giuseppe Verdi. The Italian composer was a famed opera composer, and the community built on his name serves as a place in which former masters of the craft can continue to cultivate their skills and connect with a younger generation of aspiring artists. Although its recognition may have been met with annoyance by those who depend on the Oscars to be predictable, Viva Verdi! is the type of kind-hearted, earnest work of independent filmmaking that is nice to see every awards season.
‘Viva Verdi!’ Is a Charming, Small-Scale Documentary
This year’s nominees in the Best Documentary category include important titles with strong political intentions, but Viva Verdi! is an observational film that was crafted through strong interviews and footage of Casa Verdi’s residents in action. Although early segments of the film spend time recounting Verdi’s achievements as a musician, which explain why he had the reputation to build such an ambitious establishment, it’s primarily composed of interviews with the current residents who speak to their experiences getting back to their roots. The lack of a clear focus, as the documentary does not have a single figure that it focuses on, is a benefit that makes its goals feel more unencumbered. Even for those with little interest in opera, Viva Verdi! has an empowering message about the ability to keep following a passion later in life; the film refers to this as the “third act” for these artists.
It would be hard for a film like Viva Verdi! to be considered for any substantial prizes, as its production values and footage quality are far outmatched by its competitors; as charming as it is, Viva Verdi! doesn’t need to be compared to documentaries like The Alabama Solution or Mr. Nobody Against Putin, both of which involved their subjects risking their lives. However, “Sweet Dreams of Joy” is a worthwhile entry in the Best Original Song race because it marks an appearance by a classical form of music that isn’t always recognized in the category. It’s also nice to see a Best Original Song nominee that is actually incorporated into the structure of the film itself, as many past winners and nominees in the category are only included within the ending credits scene.
‘Viva Verdi!’ Shows That the Oscars Can Still Be Surprising
While nominations for films like One Battle After Another and F1 help to confirm the success that they already have, Viva Verdi!’s recognition at the Oscars might actually grant it a larger audience. The film debuted at the Woodstock Film Festival and later screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival before having a limited run at Laemmle’s Theaters’ Monica Film Center in order to satisfy awards qualifications. Although there has yet to be a confirmation of where it may play next, or if a digital release is in the cards, it’s hard to imagine that a film nominated for an Academy Award will remain obscure for too long. Beyond the fact that director Yvonne Russo and the song’s composer, Nicholas Pike, are bound to receive more opportunities as a result, Viva Verdi! might actually inspire studios to take a closer look at documentaries that make their way around the festival circuit. If nothing else, Viva Verdi! would seem to suggest that award-worthy titles can come in the most unexpected places.
It is within the best interest of the Oscars to nominate a variety of films within the below-the-line categories, rather than giving a majority of the recognition to a handful of titles. Many of the most exciting nominations were from films that weren’t considered heavy contenders and didn’t receive attention anywhere else, such as The Ugly Stepsister in Best Makeup & Hairstyling, The Smashing Machine in the same category, The Lost Bus in Best Visual Effects, or Cutting Through Rocks in Best Documentary. Award season often becomes a bitter time of year in which pundits and critics grow vindictive when criticizing competitors; Viva Verdi!’s nomination isn’t just a nice accolade for a beautiful song, but a reminder that this period of the calendar year should be about celebrating cinema.
Viva Verdi! is available to stream on Jolt in the U.S.

Where is Sarah Pender now? Inside the “Girl on the Run” subject’s infamous prison escape (and its brutal aftermath)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/sara-jo-pender-89-02182026-396a66df86ee460f9922ffe65471ce64.jpg)
Pender, who eluded authorities for several months across multiple states, is the subject of a new ABC News docuseries.
Mads Mikkelsen may not be one of the first names to come to mind when someone asks for a list of the biggest movie stars, but he consistently turns in the strongest performances of any actor working today, year after year. Mikkelsen first blossomed into a star 20 years ago with his work opposite Daniel Craig and his first James Bond movie, Casino Royale, and he has since taken on other villainous roles in major franchises like Indiana Jones. He started opposite Harrison Ford in his final performance as the globetrotting adventurer in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Mikkelsen is also famous for playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the TV show that ran from 2013 to 2015, and around the same time, he briefly joined the MCU, where he starred opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange.
Just a few years ago, Mikkelsen starred as Gellert Grindelwald in the 2022 fantasy epic Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The Harry Potter prequel story also stars Jude Law as a young Albus Dumbledore, and Eddie Redman is Newt Scamander. David Yates directed the film with a script from Steve Kloves, and it’s inspired by the works of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is streaming on HBO Max in America and around the world, where the film is in the top 10 in several countries. It’s also one of the most popular rentals and purchases on Apple TV in a few territories. Warner Bros. spent around $200 million on making Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, but the film just managed to scrape past its break-even point, grossing $407 million at the global box office.
What Else Is Streaming on HBO Max Right Now?
HBO Max has plenty of big movies floating in and out of its top 10 every day, but the platform is firing on all cylinders when it comes to TV shows right now. The most popular show on HBO Max at the time of writing is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the Game of Thrones spin-off inspired by George R.R. Martin’s series of Dunk and Egg novels. The Pitt, the critically acclaimed medical drama starring ER veteran Noah Wyle, is also one of the most popular shows on HBO Max right now. When the new Harry Potter TV series arrives on HBO Max next year, it’s expected to be one of the biggest streaming premieres in history.
Be sure to watch Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore on HBO Max in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Hilary Duff has released her highly anticipated sixth studio album, luck…or something. Last weekend, she celebrated her release with sold out, limited engagement performances at the Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. During her February 13 show, Hilary invited two fans onstage to perform the “With Love” dance who then surprised the crowd with a romantic onstage proposal. Hilary will also start the lucky me tour on June 22 and added second shows in four cities due to incredible fan demand.
Jennifer Lopez and David Guetta announced their new single “Save Me Tonight” will be out March 6. This is the first time they have worked in the studio together.

Marc Anthony launched his debut at Fontainebleau Las Vegas last weekend for his VEGAS… MY WAY residency inside the BleauLive Theater. Marc and his 14-piece band performed a mix of his English and Spanish language hits such as “Valió la Pena” and “I Need To Know,” and closed the show with a first-ever performance of “My Way” in both Spanish and English, ending the night with the celebratory anthem “Vivir Mi Vida.” Marc will continue his show this week and will be back for more shows in July.
Last week, Cardi B kicked off her Little Miss Drama Tour, her first tour in six years.

Russell Westbrook’s Wife
Fan Sends Death Wish Email
After Husband’s 5-pt Game
Published

Updated
Russell Westbrook‘s wife, Nina, received a shocking email from an irate “fan” furious over her husband’s performance on the court, calling her a “dumb b*tch” and writing that they wish they “both die in a car crash.”
Nina — who married Westbrook in 2015 — shared the disturbing message on her Instagram story on Thursday night. The note appears to have been sent following Russ’ 5-point outing in the Kings-Magic game.
The email titled “F*** You” reads: “Your piece of f***in sh*t husband sucks to f***n bad can’t even get 1o points is pathetic.”
“I hope you both die in a car crash dumb b*tch.”
Nina — a former college basketball player and licensed marriage and family therapist — responded in her IG story, blaming sports gambling as the root of the cause.
“The negative effects of sports betting,” Westbrook said, “Brings out the worst in ppl smh.”
Westbrook — who signed with the Kings in October 2025 — is unfortunately no stranger to unruly fan behavior. The former NBA MVP has been in multiple verbal altercations with fans at games, including an up-close video of him confronting a Suns supporter.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Gets the Best Popcorn Bucket We’ve Ever Seen at Alamo Drafthouse [Exclusive]
Houston, we have liftoff on the sale of tickets for Project Hail Mary. After one final, breathtaking trailer released during the Super Bowl, only one month remains until the launch of the Ryan Gosling-led adaptation of Andy Weir‘s acclaimed sci-fi novel. As one of the most anticipated films of the year that’s been over half a decade in the making, it’s deserving of a special theatrical experience for viewers to immerse themselves in the space-faring adventure of school-teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace. As such, Alamo Drafthouse has prepared an entire collection in support of the film, and Collider is excited to once again partner with the dine and drink theater chain to showcase everything they have in store.
In addition to standard screenings, tickets are available now for Alamo’s Early Access 70 mm screenings and their Book Club screenings. The former offers viewers the chance to strap in for Grace’s seemingly impossible mission a full week early and experience it with the brightest colors and sharpest picture possible, though tickets are very limited. The latter, meanwhile, is made for readers who fell in love with Weir’s original novel and are curious to see how it translates to the big screen. Anyone attending a Book Club screening will also receive a special bookmark passport with a Project Hail Mary sticker proving that they came to Alamo to see the film. Attending other Book Club screenings of literature adaptations will come with more stickers to add to the collection, or, if you came on board with a previous film, like the recent Wuthering Heights, you can tack on Hail Mary to your existing assemblage. After the film, certain Alamo locations will also offer a pop-up Book Fair in the bar in collaboration with local booksellers, including draft beers and cocktails to sip on while browsing the titles on offer.
Like with past films, Alamo has also prepared a themed menu for partaking in during viewings of Project Hail Mary. Leading the charge is A Drink With Grace, a special cocktail named for Gosling’s spacefarer, as well as the sweet Astrophage Shake. In terms of meals, the menu leans into Grace’s time as a science teacher with Ryland’s School Lunch, alongside Tau Ceti Solar Flare Pizza. Completing the collection are two limited edition keepsakes to take on the return trip from the theater. Alamo will be selling 130-ounce popcorn buckets shaped like Grace’s red space helmet, complete with a top that flips open for easy consumption, as well as 16-ounce pint glasses complete with exclusive art of Grace floating through space from Chris Bilheimer. The glass can be added to the cost of a ticket, while the bucket can either be bought on location or at the online Alamo Mart, though both will only be available while supplies last.
What Is ‘Project Hail Mary’ About?
Published in 2021, Project Hail Mary was the fourth original novel penned by Weir, following 2017’s Artemis and 2011’s The Martian, which inspired the Oscar-nominated Ridley Scott hit starring Matt Damon. The film will hew close to the original story, following Grace as he awakens from a coma alone on a space station with little recollection of who he is or how or why he got there. With bursts of memory flooding back to him, he slowly remembers his mission, a last-ditch “Hail Mary” operation to save all of Earth from a mysterious parasite killing the sun. As the sole survivor on the station, sent to the Tau Ceti solar system light-years away from his home, he’s left to piece together the details of his mission and use his scientific ingenuity to save humanity from the early stages of an Ice Age. Fortunately, he finds out that he may not be as alone in this endeavor as he feared.
Gosling anchors the film, but it also features the talents of The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall star Sandra Hüller, alongside Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub. It’s directed by Spider-Verse duo Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard.
Tickets are on sale now for Project Hail Mary, which premieres in theaters on March 20. Check out a preview of the new Alamo Drafthouse pint glasses and popcorn bucket in the gallery above, and visit the theater chain’s official website for more information on how to snag tickets for the Early Access and Book Club screenings.

Patrick Dempsey
My Heartbreaking Final Chat With Eric Dane
Published
Patrick Dempsey is heartbroken over Eric Dane’s death … revealing he’d spoken to his “Grey’s Anatomy” costar just a week before he passed — and the decline was devastating.
Speaking Friday on “The Chris Evans Breakfast Show,” Patrick said Eric’s condition had worsened dramatically … he was bedridden, struggling to swallow, and losing his ability to speak when friends visited.
Patrick said his heart especially aches for Eric’s kids … while remembering Eric as the funniest guy on the “Grey’s” set, the one who brought the fun no matter what was going on.
And while fans were obsessed with the McDreamy vs. McSteamy rivalry, Patrick made it clear there was zero competition off-screen … just real friendship and mutual respect from day one.
TMZ.com
He also praised Eric for bravely shining a light on ALS — the cruel nervous system disease he was diagnosed with last April and never hid from.
Eric died at age 53 Thursday after a grueling battle he documented himself … revealing in recent months he’d lost almost all strength, down to just one functioning arm as the disease took over.
LaMelo Ball
Coy After Crash
… ‘Just Alive And Blessed’
Published
Charlotte Hornets
LaMelo Ball addressed the media for the first time since his Wednesday accident in Uptown Charlotte — which left his Hummer missing a wheel and a person with minor injuries — though the hooper wasn’t in the mood to open up about the ordeal.
The 24-year-old sat down in front of microphones following the Hornets’ 105-101 loss to the Houston Rockets Thursday night, and it was clear he was trying to keep things all about basketball.
When asked about the crash, Ball said it was “unfortunate, [but] everybody cool.”
“So just blessings. God is great.”
Just before getting up to leave … a reporter asked why it appeared he left the scene not long after the accident, with Ball telling him, “You gotta check in on that.”
In a video TMZ Sports obtained, Ball was picked up from the scene as he sat in his disabled 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, hopping into a Lamborghini, before someone drove him away. An eyewitness told us it was about 10 minutes after the crash. No one has suggested LaMelo left the scene before he was permitted.
TMZSports.com
Back to the hardwood — when asked how the last 24 hours have been going from the wreck to playing basketball, he once again opted to dance around the question.
“Just alive and blessed for real,” Ball said. “God is great, like I said.”
Aside from playing the day after the crash, yesterday’s game won’t be a memorable one for Melo. The former No. 3 overall pick put up 11 points in 31 minutes of play, while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out seven assists in a loss.
Ball and the rest of the Hornets will look to bounce back later today when they welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers into town.
