New House Speaker Mike Johnson is eager to send military aid to Israel but is not willing to prioritize aid to Ukraine as it continues to suffer under attack from Vladimir Putin’s army.
“We are going to move a stand-alone Israeli funding bill,” said Johnson during an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. Johnson picked up the speaker’s gavel this week after the ouster of former GOP speaker Kevin McCarthy.

On Monday, President Joe Biden’s administration announced that it will temporarily deploy 1,500 U.S. troops to support operations at the U.S.-Mexico border. Republican lawmakers who have been clamoring for hardline action at the border for months are outraged.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) declared the deployment “ridiculous theater” while speaking to reporters on Wednesday. When asked if he felt it was theater when Trump sent troops to the border, Graham demurred. “When Donald Trump did something, it worked,” Graham said, claiming that Trump’s immigration policy...

The Pentagon announced on Thursday that it is tracking what it believes to be a Chinese surveillance balloon soaring over the western United States. President Biden took the military’s advice to refrain from taking “kinetic action” on the balloon, as officials believe it doesn’t pose any physical or intelligence risks and debris from a strike could harm people on the ground. China has claimed the balloon is a weather research “airship” that blew off course, but the Pentagon isn’t buying the Prc’s explanation, announcing on Friday...

HollywoodNews.com: The Universal family flick “Hop” seems to have hopped away with the biggest opening this weekend. The combination live-action and animation film, starring a Russell Brand-voiced Easter Bunny, is estimated to have earned a three-day gross of $38.1 million.
According to Eonline, ‘Hop’ passed the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller “Source Code,” which did a decent $15.1 million. Against a film budget of $32 million, that may not be as big an opening as Summit Entertainment had hoped. Still, “Source Code” seems to be receiving very good reviews and could do well in the long run.
E! also noted that budget horror film “Insidious” (at a cost of about $1 million to make) brought in almost as much as “Source Code.” And “Sucker Punch,” with its mixed reviews, hasn’t hit $30 million in two weekends. It’s at number seven this week, so might “Sucker Punch” drop completely out of the top ten next weekend?...

HollywoodNews.com: When you think of Lindsay Lohan, Sharon Tate is not the first thing that comes to mind. But if the rumors are true, Lohan is being considered for a role as the late actress in an upcoming biopic about Charles Manson.
TMZ reports that Lohan was offered the role of Tate in the upcoming film “Eyes of a Dreamer,” which will be produced by Brad Wyman. Photographer Tyler Shields would star as Manson and direct.
Lohan watchers will recall that she was tapped to play porn star Linda Lovelace in the upcoming “Inferno,” but was summarily dropped due to her legal troubles and rehab stint. Director Michael Wilder couldn’t hold off filming any longer and Lohan lost the role in November 2010.

HollywoodNews.com: Charlie Sheen took his show on the road, appearing at Detroit’s Fox Theater last night to perform in front of a sold out crowd. But his routine (named “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option”) seemed to sink like a lead balloon according to those in attendance.
The first reports of Sheen being booed came over Twitter during the actual show on Saturday, Apr. 2. Then, E!News reported that around the mid-point of Sheen’s routine, the crowd began hurling insults and a “steady chorus of boos.”
“Violent Torpedo” started with a warm-up act by comedian Kirk Fox followed by Sheen and his two “goddesses” Nat and Bree, but from that point on, the show seemingly devolved into poorly delivered skits and videos. The former “Two and a half Men” star even squeezed in poetry and rap during the 70 minute act.

HollywoodNews.com: E! News reports a source has refuted the story that Lady Gaga had Adam Lambert removed from her birthday bash.
As Hollywood News reported on Mar. 31, gossip columnist Perez Hilton made remarks on the radio show Morning Dish that alleged Lambert was embarassingly drunk at Gaga’s party, leading to his removal from restaurant La Cita.
In an E! News report, a source revealed that while Lambert may have been drinking and even behaving wildly, the glam rocker was apparently not asked to leave the soiree.
Seemingly Hilton was not at the party in question, so one has to wonder where he got his information and what the motivation was to report it in the first place.
Lambert has not commented beyond his tweets about bruising his fist from hitting the La Cita ceiling.
Gaga has not publicly commented about the incident. And without further confirmation…...

HollywoodNews.com: Just when you thought Fox News had started pruning presidential candidates from appearing as contributors, news arrives that Donald Trump may be joining the conservative channel’s lineup.
Trump is slated to start appearing on “Fox & Friends,” according to Gawker. The Donald has landed a weekly segment on the show, allegedly titled “Monday Mornings with Trump.”
A network promo boasts:
“Bold, brash and never bashful, The Donald now makes his voice loud and clear every Monday on Fox!”
Certainly not media-shy, Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” and his possible Gop candidacy get continued press. Now he will have yet another platform for expressing his views to the public.
Trump’s segment comes on the heels of Fox News’ suspension of Newt Gingrich and Rob Santorum at the beginning of March until they could decide about their own presidential bids. Apparently this policy doesn’t apply to Trump.

According to a Fox press release, more than 55 million votes were cast on Mar. 30 after the Top 11 performed Elton John songs, setting a new “Idol” voting record for such an early stage in the competition. During what many are calling the most dramatic results show in the reality show’s history, finalist Casey Abrams was saved from elimination by the judges last Thursday after he received the fewest votes.
With the save no longer in play, two contestants will be sent home during the live Results Show tonight.
The show will feature a performance by “American Idol” season 3 champ and Grammy®-winner Fantasia, featuring her latest single, “Collard Greens and Cornbread.

The Egyptian cobra was discovered missing from an enclosure in the Reptile House last Friday, and Bronx Zoo staff have been searching for the escapee ever since. But this snake is laying low.
And tweeting, apparently.
An intrepid soul created a fake Twitter account and started tweeting as the snake’s persona on Sunday.
“Getting on the ferry to Ellis Island. Let’s hope this goes better than that time on the plane,” reads one tweet sent yesterday morning by @BronxZoosCobra, alluding to the 2006 Samuel L. Jackson spoof ‘Snakes On a Plane’.
The New York Post found that there are folks already looking to make a buck on the snake’s toothsome story, including online sellers of standard fare like mugs and shirts.

Delany stars as Megan Hunt, a bristly former neurosurgeon who became a medical examiner after an accident rendered her surgery skills ineffective.
Here’s the first flaw in the setup: doesn’t an Me still need to have steady hands when performing an autopsy? Or do we not care if evidence is destroyed by shaky incisions if the patient is already dead?
Viewers soon discover that in addition to being a brilliant former surgeon, Dr. Hunt appears to also be a brilliant detective – one that must have cut her teeth watching ‘Law and Order: Criminal Intent.’ Hunt is rarely in the lab, spending most of her time flat-footing it with the Philadelphia homicide...

Can the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress carry a drama in a season that has seen ABC already cancel ‘The Whole Truth’ and ‘My Generation’?
Delany spoke recently to citytv.com and discussed her car accident this summer which eerily parallels that of her ‘Body of Proof’ character Megan Hunt. Hunt is a neurosurgeon who has a life-altering accident, and as a result the character becomes a medical examiner…after she kills a patient on the operating table, that is.
Critics that have previewed the series debut have given ‘Body of Proof’ mixed reviews. Hollywood Chicago’s review is the most scathing calling the show ‘Dead on Arrival.’ AdWeek gives ABC credit for trying to ‘expand its brand’ by ensuring ‘Body’ isn’t another soap opera like ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’
