The post Quote Of The Day! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Donald Trump‘s pick for Vice President in this election cycle is in the news again on Wednesday morning for comments he made back in 2021. They were aimed at Randi Weingarten, the head of the national teacher’s union American Federation of Teachers. And in those old public comments, he slammed Randi for not having kids of her own — but wanting to control what other people did with their kids when it came to school and learning.

Vance’s 2021 words about Weingarten were delivered during a Center for Christian Virtue leadership forum moderated by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, and they were VICIOUS! He slammed Weingarten over the fact that she “doesn’t have a single child” but still works in policy aimed at kids, and added:

“You know, so many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but they’re people without kids, trying to brainwash the minds of our children. … If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone.”

Ummm…?!

It’s giving “childless cat lady” vibes again! JD just can’t keep his yap shut on stuff like this, can he?! He is truly doing an amazing job at tanking Trump’s campaign! Not that we are complaining, of course… (Weingarten, by the way, is in a committed same-sex relationship and is a mother to her partner’s children. So, even though she doesn’t have biological children, she still raises kids!!!)

The remarks first resurfaced after the liberal news site Heartland Signal uncovered them on Tuesday. Quickly, Harris’ campaign accounts re-posted and amplified the video on social media. And immediately, people FLOODED the web with reactions! Over on X (Twitter), users blasted Vance for being relentlessly weird and off-putting with his comments about other people’s kids:

“Ah, a very systematic approach to candidate vetting. Bravo!”

“Its not just weird how he’s obsessed with other people having kids, it’s creepy”

“The hatred and animosity he has for childless people is wild. His wife most definitely has a handmaid outfit in her closet.”

“Weird and obsessive. Like why does it matter? Why does he not trust women unless they’ve given birth? It’s creepy as hell.”

“Is there anyone this guys has not said something offensive about?”

“This guy just can’t help himself. His archaic religion is brainwashing him.”

“This guy really needs to rethink his life choices!!”

“There is a nice heavy rock somewhere that he and the rest of these morons need to crawl back under to. Such idiots!!”

No joke! At least folks are quickly picking up on the fact that this dude is a complete turn-off to normal people!! Thoughts, Perezcious readers?! Share ’em (below)!

The post JD Vance Is At It AGAIN -- Bashing Childless Teachers In Awful Resurfaced Remarks! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Ben Affleck‘s rumored new girlfriend Kick Kennedy has a strange backstory for an environmental activist!

It’s no secret that Kick’s father Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shared some pretty unusual tales amid his failed presidential run, but this one that his own daughter revealed years ago?? It’s maybe the grossest… even potentially incriminating!!

Back in 2012, Kick reflected on her childhood with Town & Country, sharing a story that demonstrated how she inherited her father’s similar “eccentric environmentalism,” as the outlet put it. When she was just 6, she claimed in the profile, a whale washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Her father loved to study animal skulls and skeletons, so he raced down to the beach — to get the whale’s head! Yes, you read that right. He drove down, with the kids, and he CUT OFF THE WHALE’S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW! Yikes!

Remember, Kick was there, just a little girl! So he not only decided to cut off this whale’s head, which sounds ghoulish enough… He brought his kids along! ICK!

RFK then bungee-corded it to the family’s minivan — where it stayed for a five-hour drive to Mount Kisco, New York. OMG! The 36-year-old recalled riding down home with this thing on the roof:

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

Jeez!!

How was that normal?! This is an absurd story in and of itself, but as mentioned, it could be illegal, too!!

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund is up in arms now that this story has resurfaced. The group’s national political director, Brett Hartl, even urged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to investigate. He wrote a letter to government officials on Monday, noting it’s illegal to possess “any part of an animal” protected by the Marine Mammal Protection and Endangered Species acts, which includes several whale species. He noted that “continued possession of any whale skull” would be an ongoing violation of the law.

Also, transporting a skull across state lines would be a “felony violation” of the 1900 Lacey Act, “which prohibits the transportation of any wildlife, dead or alive, that was reduced to possession in violation of any state, federal or international regulation or law.” Per Axios, Brett continued:

“Normally, an unverified anecdote would not provide sufficient evidence as the basis for conducting an investigation.”

But wild animal stories like this aren’t exactly new for this hopeful politician:

“However, Mr. Kennedy has admitted that he has recklessly — and with no regard to legal requirements — taken other species of wildlife for his own personal benefit.”

Earlier this month, before dropping out of the presidential race, Robert revealed he covered up the death of a bear after a woman hit and killed it. He’d planned to “skin” and eat the bear cub, but when he ran out of time to go home and drop the dead animal off before other plans, he decided to leave it in Central Park instead, where he made it look like the creature got hit by a bike. Yeah, he openly admitted to all of this (below), so that’s why this activist group is so concerned!

Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one, @NewYorker… pic.twitter.com/G13taEGzba

This is after that photo of him allegedly eating a roasted dog came out… This is just… wow. Three dead animal stories in just a few months. And we wouldn’t even have heard of this one if Kick hadn’t apparently started dating Ben Affleck! So the question comes to mind…

How many more weird ass RFK stories are out there??

While they’re hoping for a full investigation and any necessary consequences, at the very least, the organization wants RFK Jr. to surrender “any and all illegally obtained wildlife that he continues to possess.” So far, he hasn’t reacted to his renewed controversy. While Ben is denying having any involvement with Kick, this is sure one inneresting look at his potential new in-laws! LOLz!! Reactions?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Ben Affleck's Rumored Love Interest Kick Kennedy Told The Most Horrifying Childhood Story We've Ever Heard! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Almost immediately after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, Ben was — to the great shock of many — suddenly hanging out with someone new! He’s now been linked to Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy — yes, as in that Kennedy fam. She’s the daughter of disturbing former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Per Page Six reports, they’ve been seen hanging out at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and at other hotspots in El Lay lately, causing many to wonder if there’s something romantic between them. After all, he’s a free man now, right?

Related: How Jennifer Garner Feels About Bennifer Divorce

Right now, to be perfectly honest, nobody’s quite sure what to think. A source told People on Monday the duo is absolutely hanging out a lot together — but the motivation hasn’t been confirmed as romantic yet:

“Kick and Ben have been spending time together, but I’m not sure what’s happening.”

But the source does note it’s likely there are feelings on Kick’s part — as she has “always” had a thing for the actor:

“Kick’s celeb crush has always been Ben.”

Wow! Sooo swooping in at the end of his marriage was good timing on her part! LOLz!

It’s unclear when or how the potential new couple first met — or, crucially, when. So could this possible relationship — no matter if it’s romantic or platonic — have affected the marriage?? Maybe! The timing of everything sure doesn’t seem like a coincidence!

Another source claimed Ben and Kick have been “spending time together” since late spring — AKA, right as his marriage was coming to an end! The father of three moved out of his marital home in May following his split from the pop star — remember, she listed April 26 as the date of separation in her divorce filing. Yeah, so, the timing looks pretty sketchy! Hopefully, Ben and Kick’s interactions started after his romance with J.Lo was done, but anything’s possible!

Despite a 16-year age gap, RFK Jr’s 36-year-old daughter seemingly has a lot in common with Ben. She’s an activist and actress, so they can connect about industry things. Somewhat more concerning though, considering Ben’s addiction struggles, she’s described by the first source as a “partier” who “likes to have a good time.” Takes after her dad, we guess? We hope, if they are hanging out, that it doesn’t affect his sobriety!

While some are convinced there are sparks, not everyone’s sold. A third insider denied anything is happening:

“I don’t think they even know each other. There’s definitely nothing going on.”

Hmm… It’s hard to know what to think, but Ben does seem to be pretty happy right now despite his divorce! Maybe that’s ’cause he’s already got a new woman in his life??

What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Could something romantic be going on here?? Send us your predictions in the comments (below)!

The post Is Ben Affleck Really Dating Kick Kennedy After Jennifer Lopez Split?! Sources Say... appeared first on Perez Hilton.

In case you missed it, Mindy Kaling hosted part of the third night of the Democratic National Convention earlier this week, and she could not help but make a comment about the actor’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez while shouting out Massachusetts! She said at one point:

“I love you, Massachusetts! Everyone is always hating on us. But they just don’t get it. Go Sox! … Ben Affleck, hang in there! Dunkin’ Donuts, you’re the best coffee in the world.”

Related: How Jennifer Garner Really Feels About Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez Divorce!

LOLz! Check out her hilarious speech (below):

Many undoubtedly chuckled at her remark. But you know who didn’t? Ben! According to a Dailymail.com source on Friday, the 52-year-old filmmaker was very disappointed Mindy would bring up his breakup with J.Lo at a political event:

“Though it was in the moment, though it was said in jest, when Ben found out that he was brought up at the DNC by Mindy, it was a full-face palm moment. The last place he would have ever expected and wanted to be talked about, especially about his divorce, would be at a political convention.”

While Ben doesn’t plan to publicly bash the comedian, he does hope his peers will refrain from talking about his personal business moving forward:

“He isn’t going to call out Mindy, but this was just a moment where he would love for people to know, especially ones that are meant to be his peers in Hollywood, to just not talk about his personal life.”

Ben apparently cannot take a joke! Yeesh! However, we all know how much the Gone Girl star values his privacy! Heck, it is one of the main reasons we have heard so far about why Ben and Jennnifer called it quits again! He grew sick of compromising on the fame matter! Yet you would think a harmless joke like the one Mindy made wouldn’t have bothered him as much, right? All she said was to “hang in there.” If anything, it was a very kind comment — especially in comparison to what folks on the internet have said about the divorce! But Ben didn’t see it that way it seems. Instead, The Office alum just caused him more of “a headache” with her “frustrating” joke! The Dailymail.com source continued:

“This will go away, and people will forget about it, but it’s just the constant talk about his relationship with JLo that is a main reason it didn’t work out this second time around. Ben values his privacy and to deal with adversity in the public eye is a stress filled situation for him and when people bring it up who are in his community, so to speak, is just frustrating. Even though Mindy wasn’t looking to cause a headache for Ben, she did provide one.”

Damn…

Despite his feelings over the matter, he doesn’t expect Mindy to apologize:

“He doesn’t want an apology, an excuse or anything, what was said is what was said, time to move on. He just wishes that he didn’t have to move on from anything at all. He just wants to be known for his work and being a great father, not from any mistakes or misfortune that happens in his life. Mindy did her thing, and he is refusing to make it a thing, it was a brief inconvenient moment to deal with, time to turn his attention to more important things in life.”

Let this be a warning to comedians: Don’t poke fun at Ben’s divorce drama. It turns out he cannot take the heat! Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Did you think Mindy’s joke was that bad? Sound OFF in the comments!

The post Whoa! Ben Affleck Upset At Mindy Kaling For Her ‘Frustrating’ Joke About Jennifer Lopez Divorce At The DNC! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

This week, it came out that the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes liked a post on Instagram from Donald Trump from August 13 about the “2024 GOP platform.” The list consisted of 10 of the Republican presidential candidate’s plans, which included to “seal the border and stop the migrant invasion” and “keep men out of women’s sports.” Although Brittany has not openly endorsed a candidate — nor follows Trump at this time — this move is very telling and not a good look for her at all! Check it out (below):

When the like surfaced this week, many slammed Brittany on social media. Some even noted they think this will now be the end of her friendship with Taylor Swift, who is reportedly set to endorse Kamala Harris soon and has been very outspoken against Trump in the past! See the reactions (below):

“This season is gonna be awkward in the stadium suites with Brittany and Taylor Swift.”

“the NFL is getting Brittany Mahomes vs Taylor Swift”

“whats absolutely so diabolically evil about the brittany mahomes situation is that she didnt even just like a post of trump shaking hands with someone she liked his manifesto of all the terrible things hes gunna enact if he wins AND she doubled down
not shocked or surprised but girl”

“are people really surprised that brittany mahomes is a trump supporter?”

“Brittany Mahomes….Taylor Swift is never ever getting back together with you”

We’ll see how this impacts her relationship with Tay Tay and even the singer’s boyfriend Travis Kelce! In the meantime, though, Brittany appears to be trying to do some damage control. And yeah… Her response to the backlash was not great, to say the least. At this time, she un-liked the post. The 28-year-old mom then blasted the haters on Instagram Stories Friday, saying:

“I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”

HMM…

What are YOUR thoughts on Brittany’s reaction to the backlash? Do you think this drama could end her friendship with Taylor? Sound OFF in the comments below!

Right after Donald Trump shared those creepy AI pics of the singer endorsing him, a close pal of Mz. Swift told the US Sun on Friday that she plans to shut that down once and for all — by endorsing his opponent!

Related: How Big An Impact Would A Taylor Presidential Endorsement Really Have??

If you remember, back in 2018 she made an extremely rare political statement in a local election — against the extremely anti-LGBT Marsha Blackburn, who was running for Senate in Tennessee. Soon after, in the 2020 election she endorsed Joe Biden during his campaign. It seemed largely to be against Donald Trump and his attempt to take away women’s rights more than a specific attachment to Biden.

In fact, the insider dished that she was “very happy” when Kamala took over his nomination earlier this year. The prospect of a female prez is “exciting” to the musician, so she’s planning on sharing a lot more support this time, the source claims:

“Taylor got enthusiastic when Kamala Harris got named VP in 2020, to see a woman getting at such a high political position and being the vice president of Joe Biden, it was massive, and she was happy about it. She was happy to endorse the Biden-Harris duo four years ago. Now that Harris is running for president, Taylor is even more excited about the possibility of having Kamala Harris being the next president of the United States of America.”

The 34-year-old seems to have nothing but good things to say about the VP:

“Taylor sees Kamala as a strong woman, someone who unites people, who is going to do her best to solve issues that the people have, and who does great running the country.”

Hey, she isn’t the only one after this week, right?

But don’t expect the Fortnight singer to immediately come out and wave her flag for the 59-year-old and her running mate Tim Walz, though. Now that she’s on a break from her Eras Tour, she’s going to let things settle for a few weeks. But this source, who is reportedly close to Tay Tay’s team, is certain an endorsement is imminent:

“She will endorse Kamala Harris, and the announcement should be made soon, probably 6 to 4 weeks before the election day.”

That would put the endorsement around late September, early October. Hmm.

What do U think about Taylor possibly showing support for Kamala, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF (below)!

If you caught Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, you probably saw how big of a splash Oprah Winfrey made. In a fiery speech, she managed to inspire the crowd while even managing to slide in a jab at Donald Trump‘s running mate JD Vance, who infamously has been attacking Kamala Harris by saying the country is run by “miserable” women and “childless cat ladies” during a 2021 interview. Oprah said:

“When a house is on fire, we don’t ask about the homeowner’s race or religion. We don’t wonder who their partner is or how they voted. No, we just try to do the best we can to save them. And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady — well, we try to get that cat out too.”

HA!

But the moment has since become even bigger online, because the director made the inneresting decision to cut to a shot of a female audience member — who has now been dubbed THE “childless cat lady.” See (below):

Oprah Winfrey: "When a house is on fire, we don't ask about the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their partner is or how they voted.

Apparently the camera operator was told to find someone who looked like a childless cat lady to cut to? OOF! Well, that childless cat lady has since spoken out!

OMG! What a good sport! Good for her for taking the opportunity to have some fun and to throw even more support behind Kamala and Tim Walz! But that didn’t stop netizens from clocking the “shady” camera operator:

“Yo, the camera operator did this poor girl dirty after the ‘Childless cat lady’ snark #DNC”

“Shady cameraman!”

“She was like ‘who’s this childless cat lady?’ The camera person is soo wrong for this #DNC2024 #DNC #Oprah”

“I’m screaming at the DNC cutting to this random woman when Oprah made a ‘childless cat lady’ comment. taking a page from Wendy Williams’ cameraman lol”

LOLz!

Teresa later took pride in her position of a “childless cat lady” amongst others like Taylor Swift and Oprah herself — neither of whom have children:

Also- funny enough I recently got appointed to a legislative seat. And I got sworn in to the Maryland House of Delegates last week and I referred to myself as a childless cat lady during my remarks. But I’m in good company, @taylorswift13 @Oprah. ???????????????? #voteblue
