Robert De Niro will no longer be receiving an award at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) annual event following his rant outside the courthouse against former President Donald Trump — just before a New York jury found Trump guilty. The NAB had planned to celebrate the 80-year-old actor on Tuesday with its Service To America Award at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., but instead has pulled the recognition because the group said it is “proudly bi-partisan,” the Hill reported. “While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr. De Niro’s recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize,” a spokesperson for the NAB wrote in a statement. “To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.” Taking a look on the NAB website, De Niro’s name and picture is not listed as one of this year’s winners. ?Report: Robert De Niro will no longer receive the coveted National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) award that he was supposed to receive next week.

Before Trump was convicted in the Hush-Money trial, De Niro railed against the former president and his supporters during a President Joe Biden campaign event outside the New York courthouse as the trial was headed to closing arguments. “Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the Earth. I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted,” De Niro said, “And elections? Forget about them. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave.” “That’s why I’ve joined the Biden-Harris campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity is to vote for Joe Biden for president,” he added. “Really – we don’t have a choice.” Trump campaign officials characterized the event as an act of desperation by the Biden campaign.

Singer Adele had a strong reaction when someone in the crowd allegedly spoke negatively about “Pride.” A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media after it was shared Sunday by Sky News. The clip showed the “Someone Like You” singer addressing the concertgoer from the stage of her Las Vegas residency on June 1, the first day of “Pride Month.” The fan had reportedly yelled out, “Pride sucks,” which is what prompted Adele to respond in anger. However, another fan posted a video of the alleged heckler, claiming he had actually said, “Work sucks.”  “Hate to defend a m*n but the guy was somewhere behind me and he said “work sucks” not “pride sucks,” that X user wrote.  Adele believed he said “pride,” though.  “Did you come to my f***ing show and just say that Pride sucks?” the singer said.  “Are you f***ng stupid?” the 36-year-old recording artist added. “Don’t be so f***ing ridiculous. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut up, all right?”  Adele then brushed her hair off her shoulder dramatically as many concertgoers started cheering and clapping. A second video shows another moment during the event when the Grammy Award-winning star addressed the fan again. “Happy Pride,” she said, pointing in the direction of the person who yelled out. “Not to you, though.” This isn’t the first time the British singer voiced her support for the LGBT community. In 2016, she spoke through tears about the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. “I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando at Pulse nightclub,” Adele told the crowd. “The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m really moved by it.” The singer frequently uses profanity to make her point when addressing the crowd. After several high-profile performers were hit by fans throwing projectiles onto the stage, Adele issued a stern warning to anyone attending her shows. “Have you noticed how people are forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing sh** on stage. Have you seen that?” “I f***ing dare you — I dare you to throw something at me,” she continued while brandishing a t-shirt cannon. “I’ll f***ing kill you.”

“Gossip Girl” actress Taylor Momsen was bitten by a bat while performing on stage in Sevilla, Spain, forcing her to get rabies shots over the course of two weeks. The 30-year-old singer was opening for AC/DC on the European portion of their Power Up tour when the incident happened. Besides working in Hollywood as a TV actress, Momsen is the lead singer of the band The Pretty Reckless. Momsen was performing the song “Witches Burn” when the bat attached itself to the hem of her dress and bit her leg. “So … ROCK AND ROLL MOMENT … in Sevilla Wednesday during “Witches Burn” of all songs… a BAT flew onto me and clung to my leg …” the singer shared in her Instagram post caption.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Taylor Momsen (@taylormomsen) “In the moment I was performing and had no idea until the incredible crowd kept screaming and pointing,” the post continued. “He was cute, but yes he bit me … so rabies shots for the next two weeks thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning … more footage to come … that’s one for the books!!!! @acdc #pwrup #BATGIRL.” “You guys are pointing at something and I don’t know what you’re saying,” Momsen can be heard telling the audience in the video clip. The singer turned around and bent over to see the bat clinging to her dress. “Holy f***!” she yelled before returning to the mic. “There’s a f***ing flying bat on my leg right now,” she added, addressing the stage crew to ask for help. “I must really be a witch,” Momsen said. The singer went on to thank the audience and say, “It’s all right,” after the bat was taken away. “And the bat’s fine,” Momsen said. “He’s gonna be my new friend.” She also shared footage of herself in the hospital receiving shots to prevent rabies.  Per the Mayo Clinic, rabies is a deadly virus spread to people from the saliva of infected animals. It’s usually transmitted through a bite. Once a person begins showing signs of rabies, the disease nearly always causes death. That’s why anyone who may have been exposed to the virus must receive vaccinations immediately. Early symptoms of rabies are similar to those of the flu, while later the symptoms may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, agitation, anxiety, confusion, hyperactivity, difficulty swallowing, excessive salivation, fear of consuming fluid, hallucinations, insomnia, and partial paralysis.

After saying the six-foot social distancing guideline during the COVID-19 pandemic “sort of just appeared,” Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday testified that his statement had been “distorted” and that it “actually” came from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Fauci, a longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and former chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, was grilled during a hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday. He said that the guideline to explain that the guideline “actually came from the CDC. The CDC was responsible for those kinds of guidelines for schools, not me.” A transcript of Fauci’s past testimony about the health recommendations to reduce exposure made waves when they were released last week due to his comment that he was “not aware” of studies that supported the six-foot standard adopted for schools, businesses, and beyond. “It sort of just appeared,” Fauci said. “I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever.” Fauci clarifies statement that 6-foot-distancing guideline "just appeared," says it came from the CDC. pic.twitter.com/f24TecgR5N — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) June 3, 2024 Fauci testified he believed the CDC based its recommendation on “studies years ago” with the suspicion that primary COVID-19 transmission came through droplets. That view was “incorrect” as health officials know today that aerosols “play a role,” he said. WATCH FREE EPISODE NOW: Fauci Unmasked: The Trial Run “It had little to do with me since I didn’t make the recommendation and my saying there was no science behind it means there was no clinical trial that proved that,” Fauci said. “That’s just one of the things that got a little distorted in the response to that.” Later in the hearing, Rep. John Joyce (R-PA) — a dermatologist-turned-lawmaker — pressed Fauci to further answer for the early six-foot guideline for re-opening schools when the science at the time did not support the distancing standard. .@repjohnjoyce: "This six-foot rule crippled businesses…Americans suffered."

It allowed students to stay at home and not learn. Americans suffered, and that suffering continues because the fracture of trust in American scientists continues to this day,” Joyce said. When asked if he did not feel obligated to push back on the CDC, Fauci insisted he “challenged CDC multiple times,” but also stressed “it is not appropriate to be publicly challenging a sister organization.” Fauci dismissed the notion that “disinformation” played a role.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) sounded off over the weekend about “domestic terrorists” who support former President Donald Trump, saying they should be investigated for potentially plotting a “civil war.” During an MSNBC interview on Sunday, Waters called Trump’s rhetoric “dangerous” and said she would ask the criminal justice system to tell her “what’s going on,” Fox News reported. “I’m worried that he’s so divisive and that he’s talking about retribution, and they’re talking about revenge and I think that that’s dangerous. He’s even mentioned civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed,” Waters said.

She’s a hypocrite. pic.twitter.com/iibEQomjRO — Joshua Walker (@RedsRepair95) May 6, 2024 “I am going to spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system asking them, ‘Tell us what’s going on with the domestic terrorists. Are they preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about our safety? What is he doing with this divisive language? It is dangerous, and we are going to have to make sure that we understand that we’re not at risk with this man talking in the way that he’s doing.” Waters went on to slam Trump for being “in love” with foreign leaders and countries. “This is not good for this country, but he does not care about democracy,” Waters said. “He does not care about the Constitution of the United States. He’s in love with Putin and Russia and Kim Jong Un and North Korea and all of that.” “And so it’s not just that he’s a criminal. This is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy, and we have got to find out what they’re doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government on January 6,” she said. Waters suggested Trump supporters might engage in violent attacks and said she was trying to start an “investigation.” “How far is this going to go?” Waters asked. “Are they going to be attacking? Whom are they going to attack? What are we going to do? We’re trying to get an investigation going about that.” Back in 2018, Waters called for Americans to harass Trump’s Cabinet members if they encountered them in public places. “Let’s stay the course,” Waters told a crowd of her supporters at a rally in Los Angeles. “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
