A number of disaffected Hollywood celebs, including Sally Field, Rosie Perez, “Westworld’s” Jeffrey Wright, and “Boardwalk Empire” actor Steve Buscemi, have utilized the former pro-Hillary social media group known as "Humanity for Hillary" to create yet another attack message aimed at President-elect Trump. In this latest message, which refers to Trump as "racist, sexist and xenophobic," the disaffected Hollywood snowflakes call on Congress to "vigorously oppose" and "obstruct" Trump on any policy that "violates our core values as diverse Americans."

Trump is on a roll: having dispatched of Ford's Mexican facility plans, followed shortly by the GOP's proposal to overhaul the independent Ethics office just just a handful of tweets, moments ago the NYT reported that Trump's old Fox News nemesis, Megyn Kelly is leaving Fox to join NBC.

Following the death of Star Wars actress, Carrie Fisher, Disney is expected to received one of the largest personal accident payouts in history. The company which owns Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, are set to receive $50 million (£41 million) following Fisher’s death after they took out an insurance policy with Lloyds of London in case Carrie was unable to fulfil her three-film contract, according to the website Insurance Insider.

An insider has claimed that the establishment did not want George Michael in the ‘limelight’ and that his demise had been planned a few years ago when he had started getting too ‘vocal’ about the establishment and ‘political matters‘. Michael was anti establishment, anti-war, pro- Palestinian and a vigorous opponent of the 2003 Iraq War. In 2002 he released “Shoot the Dog,” a song that lampooned the then British Prime Minister Tony Blair for his close relationship with former US President George W. Bush.

The passing of George Michael this week reminded many of the seemingly short life expectancy of musicians (and performers in general). In fact, as on study found, while blues, jazz, and country singers typically live as long as the average American; rock, techno, punk, metal, rap, and hip hop stars die significantly sooner.

“I hope I die before I get old,” The Who’s Roger Daltrey sang in “My Generation” in 1965. This didn’t happen for Daltrey, who is now a ripe 71, but it did to many other musicians.
