Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The 2024 DNC roll call was earnest, sincere, strange, and above all else, musical. Although the roll call was purely ceremonial, as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are already formally the presidential and vice presidential nominees for the Democratic Party, it was nonetheless a celebratory moment for each of the states as they pledged their delegates to that ticket. The vibes were good, and that was thanks in large part to DJ Cassidy, who was tasked with overseeing the roll call and providing music that was appropriate to each state. After his starring role at the convention, many wanted to...

Last night, Lana Del Rey served as the opening-night headline act at the Rock en Seine music festival in Paris. The singer hit the stage and performed her hits such as “Doin’ Time,” “Summertime Sadness,” and “Ride,” marking her second time playing the French festival, having first graced its stage back in 2014. “To play anywhere in Paris is more than a childhood dream,” Del Rey tells Vogue of the new setlist. “There is a fantastical element to playing in a park outside of Paris. I played over 10 years ago, and it’s always nice to have a full circle moment like this.”

Joe Biden’s farewell speech was as angry, divisive, and WAY past his bedtime!  I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.  The DNC officially put Joe out to pasture and to add insult to injury, they timed it way past his bedtime.  Monday night marked Joe’s swan song. His last dance, if you will, before his “friends” in the Democrat Party officially sent him to the glue factory.  And they didn’t even have the decency to do it during Joe’s typical waking hour of 10-4. No, they made him give it at 11:25pmET, way past his beddy-bye time! For that reason, I ALMOST...
