  • Bill O’Reilly Brings Donald Trump Back To Fox News After Mogul’s Boycott Of The Network

    One might mistake Bill O’Reilly for someone campaigning for Donald Trump, but he might just really be flattered about being the reason why Trump went back to Fox News.

    Trump reportedly said that Fox News had been unfair in covering his presidential campaign. But last Tuesday, Trump appeared in The O’Reilly Factor, where he was grilled by the host.

    Although Trump said he has always found O’Reilly to be fair, the typically outspoken host proceeded to ask Trump if the questions being asked were fair.

    The day following the interview, O’Reilly talked about Trump and his campaign on the show. O’Reilly also denied that he knew anything about the reason behind Trump’s reconciliation with the Fox News Channel. “He’s a phenomenon, this man,” O’Reilly told Yahoo News’ Katie Couric on Wednesday. “The liberal press doesn’t want a guy saying, ‘Well, we’re gonna build a fence! We’re gonna round up all the illegal aliens and deport them!’” he said. “The liberal press goes wild about that.”

    O’Reilly even defended Trump about his past statement regarding Mexican immigrants.

    “He was talking about the ‘coyotes,’ the people smugglers — not the regular Mexican people,” O’Reilly said. “He didn’t articulate it that way. It was a verbal mistake… I know what he was saying, but he didn’t say it in a way that was clear.”

    “I’ve defended Trump a lot,” O’Reilly said. “I think Trump is good for America because he’s drawing so many people in and they’re paying attention to the debates.”

    “He’s not a phony,” O’Reilly continued. “He’s entertaining, he’s energetic, and he’s knowledgeable. That’s what I look for when I want to hang out with someone.”

    But O’Reilly also called Trump “hypersensitive” when it comes to the ‘small stuff’ — and unable to accept criticism of his policies.

    “If the question is tough, you’ve got to roll with it because you’re running for president,” he said.

  • Kate Winslet Tackles Challenging Role In Steve Jobs Movie

    Kate Winslet is excited to be part of an upcoming film that features the creative side of the notorious workaholic, Apple founder Steve Jobs, and said she has no reservations about doing it.

    In an interview at the Toronto Film Festival, Winslet said: “I have no reservations whatsoever and so excited to be a part of this project.”

    The Oscar-winning actress plays Joanna Hoffman in the movie, who was one of Jobs’ team members during the period when he was preparing to launch the first Apple computer.

    She revealed that when she first learned of the role, she “couldn’t get hold of a script” since she could not find any similarities between herself and Hoffman. Hoffman is an Armenian-American girl who has dark hair and glasses. What she did was she tried on three dark wigs of different lengths and put on some make-up, took a selfie, and sent it to the producer Scott Rudin. Soon after, a script for Steve Jobs was emailed to her by Boyle. Winslet revealed that writer Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle, known for their unique film treatment especially on contemporary subjects, came up with a different approach for the upcoming movie.

    The movie was shot like a play and was told in three acts. According to Winslet, each act covered a different year in Jobs’ life: 1984, 1988 and, 1998, as the founder of Apple.  “We shot each act in chronological order, one act at a time,” said the actress.

    Although the actress enjoyed the filming, she admitted that it was “challenging.”

    “It was very hard for all of us to really come up with what Danny (Boyle) wanted and needed to put this film together,” she said.

    Winslet stars alongside Michael Fassbender who plays Steve Jobs. The movie is slated to hit theaters next month.

  • Donald Trump Mocks Asian Negotiators By Speaking In Broken English

    Business mogul and Republican presidential front-runner, Donald Trump, made another racist remark in a speech he delivered during a campaign rally in Iowa on Tuesday. This time Trump made fun of the negotiating skills of Asian business negotiators in broken English.

    “When these people walk into the room, they don’t say, ‘Oh hello, how’s the weather? It’s so beautiful outside. How are the Yankees doing? They’re doing wonderful, that’s great,” the presidential candidate said. “They say, ‘We want deal!’” which made the audience laugh at Trump’s offending joke. Trump who is known for his remarkable negotiating skills, is consistent on his stand on the economic relationship between China and the U.S. On his Twitter he said the Chinese market and the whole Asian market are “taking the U.S. market down.”

    He  also made insensitive remarks about Mexican immigrants at the beginning of his campaign. Besides Trump, another candidate made insensitive remark about Asians. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Trump’s rival, used “anchor babies” to refer to children of undocumented immigrants. “Frankly, it’s more Asian people,” Bush said. Trump picked on Bush’s failed effort to choose a more politically correct term to refer to Hispanics and linking “anchor babies” to Asians. He called his effort “a mess” on Twitter.

    The Congressional Asia-Pacific American Caucus has already addressed Bush’s comments but has not yet given their comments on Trump’s racial remarks.

    “All that is accomplished through talk of anchor-babies — be they from Latin America, Asia, Europe or Africa — is to use xenophobic fears to further isolate immigrants. It’s time for our country to return to a substantive discussion on immigration,” said U.S. Rep Judy Chu of Pasadena, California, leader of the caucus.

    Chu believes that what the country needs is an actionable plan to “integrate” the illegal immigrants in the country.
