Trevor Noah Has Defended Himself After Receiving Backlash Over Comments About Rishi Sunak Becoming The New Britain Prime Minister

-
Trevor Noah is under heat again after making comments about the backlash that Rishi Sunak received after becoming the new Britain Prime Minister. The news of Rishi Sunak becoming the new prime minister has been received well by most people however it seems that Trevor Noah believes people have been racist towards him. In the famous show, The Daily Show, Trevor Noah spoke up about how Rishi has faced backlash with people saying things like “Now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain.” Many people refuted this claim which included Piers Morgan who said that there had been no backlash against Sunak and that the media was falsely portraying Britain as a racist country. In the monologue where he made the comments, Trevor said, “Watching the story of Rishi Sunak becoming England's first prime minister of color, of Indian descent, of all these things and then seeing the backlash is one of the more telling things about how people view the role that they or their people have played in history. And what I mean by that is this, you hear a lot of the people saying 'Oh, they're taking over, now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain, and what's next?” Trevor also said, “Why are you so afraid? And I think it's because the quiet part a lot of people don't realize they are saying is 'We don't want these people who were previously oppressed to get into power because then they may do to us what we did to them.” However, after the backlash for his comments, Trevor said, “I wasn't saying 'The entire UK is racist, I was responding to the racists who don't want Rishi as PM because of his race. That's why I said. 'Some people.” His remarks have also been addressed by former chancellor Sajid Javed who said, “Simply wrong. A narrative catered to his audience, at a cost of being completely detached from reality. Britain is the most successful multiracial democracy on earth and proud of this historic achievement.” Those on social media have also spoken up about his remarks.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Exorcism review – Russell Crowe v the Devil in cursed horror about a cursed horror

-
The actor plays an actor struggling with a demonically bad film shoot in a well-made yet increasingly messy chiller Like many other dethroned A-listers of his generation, Oscar winner Russell Crowe has found himself a steady career hustling far further down the food chain, headlining B-movies he once would have balked at. The last few years have seen the famed actor crop up in gonzo road rage thriller Unhinged , shepherd the other Hemsworths in war drama Land of Bad , lead the barely released crime thriller Sleeping Dogs earlier this year and become the pope’s exorcist in The Pope’s Exorcist . The latter became something of a surprise hit, first theatrically and then on Netflix, albeit in a rather jokey way, the film most easily remembered for the many memes of Crowe on a scooter. Its success was such that it not only guaranteed a sequel (The Pope’s Exorcist 2 is coming), but it also led to another of his exorcism movies getting saved from streaming hell and being delivered to th...
