Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet certainly has a way with words — and he did not mince any when he delivered a blistering takedown of the Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion (DEI) standards that now limit him and others who share his profession. Mamet made the comments during an interview with Los Angeles Times deputy entertainment editor Matt Brennan and the outlet’s Festival of Books — hosted by University of Southern California — where he was promoting his memoir‚ “Everywhere an Oink‚ Oink.” “DEI is garbage. It’s fascist totalitarianism‚” Mamet told Brennan. His memoir‚ which was published last fall‚ tells his life story in a series of anecdotes — and follows his political metamorphosis as well. Mamet refers to himself as a “red diaper baby‚” the child of two communists — and details how he made the journey from the far Left to his current position: supporting former President Donald Trump. The award-winning playwright and screenwriter — whose works include “Glengarry Glen Ross‚” “The Untouchables‚” and “Hannibal” — also took issue with the new “inclusion standards” that have been implemented by the Academy of Motion Pictures‚ noting that for films to even be considered for awards‚ they had to check certain boxes according to DEI standards. “I can’t give you a stupid f***ing statue unless you have 7% of this‚ 8% of that‚” Mamet complained. “It’s intrusive.” He did not spare the feelings of those charged with implementing the new standards either‚ referring to them in his memoir as “diversity capos” and “diversity commissars.” Mamet conceded that Hollywood had long been a place where discrimination had thrived — but argued that the executives dictating the new rules were better suited to “selling popcorn” than to creating a less restrictive environment. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The [film industry] has little business improving everybody’s racial understanding as does the fire department‚” he said. Despite his long career in Hollywood‚ Mamet said that he’s been shuffled off the main stage in recent years — but he did not blame the shift in his political views for that. Instead‚ he said that his age was the likely culprit — and younger directors preferred to work with people closer to their own age. “Nobody’s going to pay me a lot of money anymore. Nobody’s going to let me have a lot of fun‚” he said.

Women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark has reportedly landed a historic shoe contract with Nike. Clark is in line to sign an eight-year deal after the shoe company offered the women’s basketball star $28 million and a signature shoe‚ The Wall Street Journal reported. Negotiations between Clark and athletic companies such as Puma‚ Nike‚ Under Armour‚ and Adidas began in February and reportedly got pretty intense‚ according to the outlet. Reps for Clark from Excel Sports Management allegedly made it clear they weren’t taking offers that amounted to less than $3 million a year. Puma reportedly thought that request was too high and walked away from negotiations. The brand already has a deal with Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty‚ which includes her own signature shoe. At the time‚ Clark had yet to announce her plans to enter the WNBA draft and several companies reportedly made their offer based on her remaining at the University of Iowa and playing for the Hawkeyes one more year. “She played herself into a position where it wasn’t even contingent on staying in college‚” someone familiar with the deals told the outlet. “People just wanted her.” The WSJ noted that some shoe executives were surprised by how well-prepared Clark and her reps were during a Zoom call. Adidas offered the basketball star $6 million over four years‚ but with the offer being so far off the mark‚ that left Under Armour‚ who came in with a $16 million offer over four years and her own signature shoe‚ WSJ noted.

Clark recently set a new record when she went number one overall in the 2024 WNBA draft to the Indiana Fever‚ and afterward her new jersey shot to the top of Fanatics — the official online retailer for the league‚ TMZ reported. The sports site said it put up preorders for her No. 22 jersey — which sold out and has become the top-selling draft pick jersey in the company’s history across all sports‚ the outlet noted. Clark previously became the top scorer in NCAA basketball history. Related: Caitlin Clark Breaks Record For Jersey Sales

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said Taylor Swift is “not a positive influence” while he and talk show host Piers Morgan debated the superstar’s dominance in the culture. On Tuesday’s edition of “Piers Morgan Uncensored‚” Morgan and the host of “The Matt Walsh Show” podcast talked about Swift’s “brand of feminism‚” with Morgan praising the singer as an “incredibly gifted singer-songwriter” who’s now more famous than the Beatles. Walsh admitted he’s not “exactly a Taylor Swift scholar‚” and said these days the “Blank Space” hitmaker is “one of the most famous people in the world” and the “most powerful‚ influential pop star by a mile.” “There are many pop stars that are far more objectionable than her‚ and far more vulgar and objectionable‚” the Daily Wire host explained. “I think‚ for the most part‚ what you get from Taylor Swift‚ it’s not good…it’s just kind of vapid and shallow and silly.” “The most relevant criticism of her is that she’s 34‚” he added “She’s a 34-year-old woman still singing about her high school-level relationship problems. So‚ this appears to be a 34-year-old woman who hasn’t grown up much. And hasn’t grown as a person or an artist. Walsh noted how Swift even has a song on her new album The Tortured Poets Department‚ called “So High School‚” where he said she’s “actually comparing her current relationships to being in high school.” “So‚ this is someone kind of in a state of arrested development‚” he added. “And I think that there are a lot of people in the West who struggle with that same condition. So‚ she’s not a positive influence as far as that goes.” “Generally‚ I think there are many pop stars that are far more vulgar and objectionable than her … but she is someone who is in a kind of a state of arrested development.”@MattWalshBlog discussing Taylor Swift with @piersmorgan. pic.twitter.com/tcnsO19Dpl — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) April 23‚ 2024 Morgan disagreed with the Daily Wire host and said that the “best stuff” from “all great singer/songwriters” comes from “the negative stuff in their life.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Walsh clarified that he doesn’t see anything wrong with artists talking about “negative” things in their lives‚ but suggested what Swift was doing was different. “She doesn’t appear to be saying anything interesting or insightful about it [the struggles and sorrows in her life]‚” Walsh said. “If there is a Swift song out there where she offered some real‚ beautiful‚ poetic insight to any of these issues I haven’t heard it.” “I would love to hear what it is‚” he added. “But from what I hear‚ it’s just the same thing over and over again‚ and that’s part of the problem.” Morgan also asked Walsh about his new comedy court drama series “JUDGED by Matt Walsh‚” which is now streaming on DailyWire+. “It’s a very serious legal courtroom show‚” Walsh said. “This is a place where we take on very serious cases‚ and as I’ve christened myself‚ I am now America’s — if not foremost legal authority — at least foremost legal expert.”

Columbia University is under fire yet again after a memo went out late on Monday informing all students and staff that remote or hybrid learning would be the standard until the semester ends. The announcement came as anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests have created an environment — on Columbia’s campus and at other colleges such as Yale — where Jewish students do not feel safe. After protesters chanted slogans calling for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of Israel — and one protester was seen holding a sign calling on Al Qasam (the militant wing of the terrorist group Hamas) to target fellow students who carried Israeli and American flags — classes initially were switched to remote for the day on Monday. But by Monday afternoon‚ as tensions had not cooled‚ the Office of the Provost put out new guidance for the remainder of the term: It’s vital that teaching and learning continue during this time. We recognize conditions vary across our campuses and thus are issuing the following guidelines: Morningside main campus: All courses hybrid – classroom technology permitting – until the end of each school’s Spring 2024 semester with the following carveouts and further details below. Arts/Practice-based programs: in-person with generous accommodations supported by school deans and staff. Medical Center and Manhattanville: in-person operation as usual‚ but granting accommodations based on religious reasons‚ or approved disability accommodations. “If the class does not permit adapting to the remote offering format‚ we encourage faculty to provide other accommodations liberally to students who have requested support for virtual learning this week‚” the memo continued‚ also encouraging support staff to work from home if at all possible. Critics slammed Columbia for moving to remote/hybrid learning‚ saying that the school had chosen to cave to the protesters rather than dealing with them. Imagine having to pay $70k a year for online classes because your school caved to these people.pic.twitter.com/jvA5gxwjxc — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) April 23‚ 2024 “Let’s get this straight-Jewish prof at Columbia is denied access to campus so violent and vile Jew-hating anarchists are allowed to roam around spewing genocidal chants.

A Scottish singer had a chance run-in with Post Malone that led to an unbelievable act of kindness. According to BBC‚ Gregor Hunter Coleman was performing at a bar in Glasgow one night when Post Malone came in for a drink. He was in town for his Twelve Carat tour‚ and he spent some time listening to Gregor’s set. When Gregor finished‚ the Sunflower singer thought he “smashed it‚” so he introduced himself and offered to buy him a drink—which Gregor declined. “He said‚ do you want a drink&;#63; I was like‚ listen‚ I’m saving for a house so I’m not drinking just now. Which was daft‚” Gregor shared. “My mates were‚ like‚ why did you turn down a drink from Post Malone&;#63;” Posty was impressed by his determination and asked Gregor to sing at his concert’s official afterparty instead. Gregor gladly accepted that offer. TikTok “He started saying‚ how much will you charge&;#63; I said nothing‚ it’s Post Malone‚ this is the chance of a lifetime‚” Gregor added. The conversation continued‚ and the two continued to click. Then Post Malone jumped in and offered to cover the down payment that Gregor was saving for. “He got talking to me and he offered to help me out with my house deposit‚” the singer shared. Gregor wouldn’t disclose how much Post Malone gave him‚ but it was enough to officially buy his house. Gregor and his girlfriend recently posted pictures from their moving day. TikTok “There were things going around saying he’d bought me a house‚” he said. “Obviously‚ this has helped towards me now having a deposit.” Not only did Posty write a check for a down payment‚ but he also offered to mentor Gregor and listen to his original work as he strives to become a successful musician. Before parting ways‚ the singers exchanged numbers‚ and they stayed in touch. “There’s a pressure now that I need to get good songs done‚” Gregor admitted. “I need to get something happening with it rather than just being‚ like‚ I met Post Malone and back to the pub.” “Hopefully he’s still interested and he still wants to hear them and he likes them‚” Gregor added. “If not‚ then it’s back to the drawing board.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
