In X posts the 27-year-old Thorne shared on Friday, she claimed that “working with Mickey was one of the all-time worst experiences of my life working as an actress.”

“I had to work with this man – in a scene where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied around my back. He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my knee cap and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans. Hitting them over and over again,” Thorne wrote. “I had bruises on my pelvic bone.”

The message was written over a screenshot of an article about former child actor-turned musician JoJo Siwa calling out Rourke’s comments, which she and producers called homophobic, toward Siwa on “Celebrity Big Brother.”

“No, I didn’t go MAGA, and to the president’s credit, there was no pressure to,” Maher said during his opening monologue on the April 11 episode of his Max late-night talk show, “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Maher conceded Trump is “much more self-aware than he lets on in public” but acknowledged, “It doesn’t matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian; it matters who he is on the world stage.” He later added, “Why can’t we get the guy I met to be the public guy?”

Though the March 31 meeting went well, Maher — who had derided the president’s tariff flip-flopping earlier in the monologue — maintained he will continue to hold the Trump administration to account.

The hit HBO zombie sci-fi drama returns for season 2 this weekend, kicking off a seven-episode journey that will surely be filled with petrifying and heartbreaking episodes.

The first season, which debuted in early 2023, depicts a world where the mind-controlling parasitic fungi Cordyceps takes over the human race and reshapes society at large. The story followed smuggler Joel (Pedro Pascal) who safeguards Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across the country to a hospital as she is immune from becoming “infected.”

The series is a live-action adaption of the 2014 video game franchise of the same name. Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin co-created the series that went on to win eight Emmy awards last year and was nominated for outstanding drama series.

“A bird just landed on my head!” Doocy said as he tried to avoid the bird.

The bird made its appearance while Doocy was wrapping up a live report from the White House for Fox’s morning show “Fox and Friends.” As Doocy tried to recompose himself following the bird’s visit, hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence B. Jones and Brian Kilmeade jokingly laughed at their flustered reporter.

“I did not like that at all,” Doocy said. “That’s probably so … dirty.”

Kilmeade did not miss the chance to joke with Doocy, pointing out that his hair had been made a mess by the bird.

“The hair on the back of your head is standing up,” Kilmeade said. “What’s going on?”

The heavily tattooed country star appeared on stage Wednesday at Pat McAfee’s Big Night Aht live show in Pittsburgh, where he shared about his weight loss journey.

McAfee spotlighted the 40-year-old rapper’s physique at the PPG Paints Arena, saying “it looks like you lost a person. Congratulations.” Jelly Roll proceeded to groove and flex on stage, smiling as the crowd applauded.

“I started at 540 pounds I’m 357 pounds this morning, baby,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m going to lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby.”

“Well we are all proud of you,” McAfee said. “We need you to survive, brother. You’re one of the good ones.”

The blockbuster British limited series was released on the streaming service March 13 and has been a fixture in its top 10 list ever since. In fact, it has become Netflix’s fourth-most popular English-language TV show of all time, behind only “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday.” The story of a 13-year-old boy who brutally murdered a female classmate has become a cultural hot topic, particularly in the U.K., where it is being made available to stream in schools and has even been discussed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Plan B Entertainment, the studio headed by Brad Pitt that produced “Adolescence,” is in talks for a sequel series, Deadline reports.

If you feel like this is British-accented déjà vu, you might remember that last year, Richard Gadd’s (allegedly) autobiographical “Baby Reindeer.” a little-known British miniseries, suddenly became a word-of-mouth sensation on Netflix. But “Adolescence” has gone far and above the success of “Reindeer,” not only surpassing it on the Netflix charts but also getting its warnings across about social media and toxic masculinity across with the awkward interference of real-life drama. You can’t browse online without tripping over everyone’s opinions about “Adolescence,” and some debate whether it is realistic or alarmist, and whether it should really be shown to kids.

But what all those differing viewpoints agree upon is that the series is effective, or else we wouldn’t still be talking about it. And here’s why we probably won’t stop discussing “Adolescence” anytime soon.
