Vivek Ramaswamy’s plans for BuzzFeed are becoming a bit clearer, with the entrepreneur turned activist investor releasing a lengthy letter outlining what he believes the company should do to turn itself around.
Ramaswamy disclosed a sizable activist stake in BuzzFeed last week. In his letter Monday, Ramaswamy said that he has since upped his stake to 8.37 percent.
In an emailed response to Ramaswamy also sent Monday, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti offered to meet “to better explain the strategy that we’ve outlined on our recent earnings calls, and why we’re so confident it will create the most value.”
In his letter, Ramaswamy called for three new board seats, and to dramatically cut costs.
“Rather than cutting from the top, the company should start from zero and retain only the resources required to create and monetize BuzzFeed’s highest-value content,” he wrote. “This will almost certainly require large-scale headcount reductions,...

Annemarie Wiley’s firing from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills didn’t come as much of a surprise.
What was shown of her on-screen didn’t win her many fans, but there were plenty of rumors as Rhobh Season 13 was airing that storylines were left on the cutting room floor.
Yes, reality TV is heavily edited. That isn’t new information, but the 41-year-old was shown on-screen to have an unhealthy obsession with Sutton Stracke’s esophagus.
Beyond that, people didn’t get to see who she truly was, and the Daily Mail reports that was intentional because many of the scenes removed from the narrative involved the cast clashing with Wiley due to her political views.

Prominent far-right commentator Candace Owens has officially announced her departure from the conservative news outlet The Daily Wire.
Owens took to social media on Friday to confirm the rumors and expressed her sense of liberation. She hinted at announcements in the weeks ahead.
The split was initially revealed by Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, who stated on a public platform that the relationship between the media outlet and Owens had come to an end. The exact reasons behind the separation remain undisclosed.
Owens, who joined the organization in 2021, was among the most recognizable and influential figures associated with The Daily Wire, known for her appearances on Fox News and Infowars. She is currently engaged in a speaking tour alongside Turning Point USA, a conservative organization that has gained significant influence within the Republican Party.

Conservative firebrand Candace Owens has left the news outlet The Daily Wire after a war of words with the founder of the news brand, fellow far-right figure Ben Shapiro, which began shortly after the outset of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Owens joined the partisan conservative news website, which gained traction during former President Donald Trump’s time in the White House, in 2020 and hosted a weekday commentary show for the brand, known for repackaging other news outlets’ reporting with a right-wing spin. The 34-year-old confirmed the news on Friday on X, the platform where most of the drama between the two conservative media figures played out.
“The rumors are true — I am finally free. If you would like to support my work, you can head to http://CandaceOwens.com where you will be directed to my locals page,” Owens tweeted, then solicited for funds on another personal website.

Candace Owens, the right-wing media figure, is no longer at The Daily Wire, her signature platform for nearly four years.
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing wrote on X/Twitter this morning.
Known for her culture warrior rhetoric, Owens has embraced conspiracy theories since the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7. This week, the Anti-Defamation League called out Owens for “vitriolic antisemitism.” Earlier this week, she “liked” a tweet that advanced an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews were “drunk on Christian blood,” per Mediaite.
“My crime is having stood up for myself against your network of smears,” Owens wrote following the Adl criticism.
To much publicity, it was announced in November, 2020 that Owens would move to Nashville to join the platform’s team.

Del Bigtree leads the conspiratorial, anti-vaccine Informed Consent Action Network, which alleges (against substantial scientific evidence) that childhood vaccines cause autism, and that myriad vaccines — from chicken pox to Covid jabs — “should never have been licensed.” Bigtree is also the producer of a controversial, 2016 vaccine-alarmist “documentary” called Vaxxed.

Turning Point USA — the far-right, Christian nationalist group run by Charlie Kirk — is kicking off its annual AmericaFest in Phoenix on Saturday. Tpusa bills AmericaFest as a bash for “like-minded” conservatives to celebrate “the greatest country in the world, America.”
But in addition to patriotism, many of the gala’s headliners appear to be of like mind about something much darker: a distrust, distaste, or outright hatred of Jewish people. The celebration comes on the heels of Kirk himself having been called out by prominent conservatives for creating “an anti-Semite problem” for the right.

The series follows Carolla’s junior high woodshop teacher popularized on Kroq radio and brought to life in puppet form on Comedy Central’s Crank Yankers.
In this animated update, according to producers, “Mr. Birchum attempts to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of. He’s befuddled by his gaming streamer son, Eddie (Dunnigan), annoyed at his selfie-taking, snowflake students and is constantly at war with the school district’s appointed “J.E.D.I.” Mr. Karponzi (Fischer).”

Conservative media outlet The Daily Wire, known for its right-wing political commentary, had a public dispute between two of its most prominent figures, Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens.
Shapiro, the site’s co-founder, and Owens, a host of one of its podcasts, have exchanged back-and-forth messages on the X platform, formally known as Twitter.
It started when Owens wrote of the Israel-Hamas War: “No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever. There is no justification for a genocide. I can’t believe this even needs to be said or is even considered the least bit controversial to state.”
Over the past couple of weeks, the Israeli government has been bombing the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, many of whom are children after Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel killed 1200.
Although many praised her stance, others criticized her tweet and accused her of being antisemitic.

On Wednesday’s installment of Carlson’s self-produced X show, host injected his views on white genocide into a discussion of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war while interviewing The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens.
Early in the interview, Carlson and Owens had discussed her explosive, public spat with Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro over the war in Gaza, before discussing how it is also fueling tensions on college campuses.

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney won the Woman of the Year award from British magazine Attitude.
“Dylan Mulvaney is our Woman of the Year, supported by @VirginAtlantc,” the magazine wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Mulvaney responded to the post, saying, “Knowing that my community sees me this way and acknowledges my womanhood is all I need to keep going.”
Mulvaney posted her acceptance speech on social media.
“Some people don’t see me as a woman at all, which is why receiving this honor from a queer publication like Attitude means so much more to me,” Mulvaney said. “No matter how hard I try or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards. But as long as I have the queer community that sees me for my truth, I’m gonna be ok.

Convicting a Murderer (Daily Wire+)
Did you fall for the Steven Avery saga with Netflix’s Making a Murderer? Did you demand justice and, in doing so, throw Steven’s unwitting victims under the bus to do it?

It looks like Maren Morris will soon be the latest artist to speak out against Jason Aldean’s controversial song “Try That in a Small Town.” On Thursday, Morris shared a teaser for an upcoming video that appears to reference the track.
In an Instagram post, she shared a brief clip of the video featuring a billboard that reads, “Welcome to Our Perfect Small Town From Sunrise to Sundown.” Morris wrote the following in the caption: “I’m done filling a cup with a hole in the bottom.”
The post also includes a photo of Morris wearing a black shoulder-less top, which looks like the outfit she wore to the 2016 CMA Awards, as Us Weekly notes. She won Artist of the Year at the ceremony, while Aldean complained about being shut out from being nominated. “At this point, I feel like I’ve gone out and done everything I can...

Exclusive: The Daily Wire’s streaming service DailyWire+ is lining up a September start in Europe for what it is calling its biggest-budget production to date, a fantasy series inspired by Arthurian legend.
Daily Wire Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing will take a temporary leave of absence from the right wing media organization to direct the seven-episode series, which has long been a passion project of his.
Boreing will co-direct with Ryan Whitaker (Surprised By Oxford). The “multinational” cast is being finalized with filming due to take place in Italy and Hungary.

On Tuesday, Breitbart revealed that Pedro Gonzalez, a prominent conservative influencer and supporter of Ron DeSantis, sent a slew of nakedly antisemitic messages. Gonzalez responded on Twitter by claiming that the messages, which were sent in 2019 and 2020, were from “a different, dumb season of my life,” while accusing Donald Trump supporters of leaking them as part of a “smear” campaign.

Representatives for actor Jamie Foxx are pushing back claims that his hospital stay stemmed from getting a Covid vaccine, saying such allegations are “completely inaccurate.”
The claim that Jamie Foxx was forced to go to the hospital due to reactions from a Covid shot come from, not surprisingly, those without any actual evidence to back it up. Case in point: A.J. Benza, the gossip columnist who might best be remembered as the guy who swung at “Stuttering” John Melendez and made Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’Abate scream like a mama monkey. At best, it’s one of the great moments of Howard Stern’s E! show; at worst, it gives another glimpse into the sort of person Benza is.
On Drew Pinsky’s Ask Dr. Drew show, Benza said a source “in the room” told him that Jamie Foxx had been admitted after his Covid shot, which left him “partially paralyzed and blind.

Jamie Foxx cannot catch a break.
After he was hospitalized earlier this year due to an unspecified illness, Foxx is now battling a different enemy: online conspiracy theories. A.J. Benza, a podcaster and former New York Daily News contributor who you might also remember from frequent appearances on E! News in the 1990s, was on the online talk show “Ask Dr. Drew,” who claimed that the actor was left “partially paralyzed and blind” after getting a Covid vaccine. Foxx’s representatives told NBC News the claim is “completely inaccurate.”
Benza said that after Foxx got the vaccine while on set and formed a blood clot, which led to a stroke.

“Tech giants like @YouTube, @Facebook, @TikTok_US, and—until @ElonMusk wrote a check—@Twitter, flagging, banning, throttling, shadow banning, and demonetizing us is a constant occurrence,” tweeted Daily Wire co-ceo Jeremy Boreing in a thread last month. The thread revealed what Boreing called a Big Tech “cancel blitz” against the company, including YouTube’s demonetization of Matt Walsh’s channel after the firebrand repeatedly stated that men are men and women are women when referring to people claiming otherwise. The company responded by putting “The Matt Walsh Show” on Twitter. In its first 28 days on Elon Musk’s platform, the show had 7.4M video views, 24M impressions, and its new account grew by 140,000 followers.

Especially because I have a glass shower. It’s frightening to me to get in there,” she explained. “There are just certain things that people take for granted in their lives that I took for granted. Going down the stairs, carrying things—you can’t do that anymore. It f**king sucks.

Speaking to Vanity Fair as part of an interview promoting Dead to Me that and published during the first Emmy-voting window, the actress opened up about the status of the animated Married… With Children project, missing her Netflix series castmates and getting support from fellow actresses like Selma Blair and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
During the sit-down, she also spoke about the adjustments to her daily life following her diagnosis. That now includes in-home caregivers and a “purgatory” pile of items at the top of her home’s stairs, which are brought down by her non-disabled friends since Ms has affected Applegate’s balance.

As the news that both Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon were out at their respective networks hit the front pages this morning, a slew of boldfaced names began to react, chiefly to Carlson’s departure.
Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy used it as an opportunity to plug his own network.
“For a while Fox News has been moving to become establishment media and Tucker Carlson’s removal is a big milestone in that effort,” he said in a statement. “Millions of viewers who liked the old Fox News have made the switch to Newsmax and Tucker’s departure will only fuel that trend.”

Exclusive: Convicting a Murderer, the docuseries response to Netflix’s popular true crime series Making a Murderer, has found a streaming home with DailyWire+, the SVOD platform of right-wing media company The Daily Wire.
The ten-part series, which has been six years in the making, is due to launch in summer 2023 with firebrand commentator Candace Owens narrating and fronting the project.
Directed by Shawn Rech, the series will re-examine the story of Steven Avery, who served 18 years in prison after a wrongful conviction for sexual assault and attempted murder, but was later convicted of the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.
The Emmy-winning Netflix series was a ratings and critical hit but also drew fire from some corners, including prosecutor Ken Kratz who claimed that key evidence from the trial was omitted from the documentary.

Even though Ego Nwodim joined “Saturday Night Live” in 2018, in many ways, this current 2022-23 season is her breakthrough year. In fact, I’d go so far as to say she deserves her first-ever Emmy nomination for Best Comedy Supporting Actress. And it’s all thanks to steak.
The sketch in question, “Lisa from Temecula,” aired February 4 with first-time host Pedro Pascal. Nwodim plays the titular woman who shocks her sister’s friends at dinner with her obsession over “extra, extra well-done” steak. “I’m about to tear this thing up,” Lisa declares when she starts cutting into the blackened piece of meat. Soon the entire table is shaking under the force of her knife and fork, and the cast members all completely break character, “Debbie Downer”-style. Watch the sketch below.

Ulrika Jonsson has said she would not report her rape if it happened today because she feels “deeply uneasy” about the police.
The TV presenter – best known for Gladiators and Shooting Stars – criticised the standards of policing in the UK for having “an indifference about women and their safety”.
In her 2002 memoir, Jonsson, 55, divulged that she had been raped when she was 20 years old and beginning her career as a weather presenter.
Jonsson said that she did not report the assault at the time because she did not think she would be believed since she knew the rapist.
In her recent column for The Sun, she explained that there “was no such crime as date rape” at the time.
“Society had taught me that I – as a woman – was culpable for finding myself alone in a room with a man,” she wrote. “I lived with that guilt and felt it for decades.

The news was met with criticism from Sugar, who called the series a “virtual rip-off” of his own BBC show The Apprentice.
In a new interview with The Sun, Ramsay urged Sugar to stop “b***ing” and talking “absolute bollocks”.
“He has no right to start throwing his toys out the pram,” said the Kitchen Nightmares star. “Do you think Simon Cowell started complaining about The Voice when he was running The X Factor? Of course he didn’t.”
He continued: “There is more than enough room for both shows on the BBC. Come on Alan! Share the f***ing love!”

Christina Applegate has slammed Candace Owens after she questioned why Kim Kardashian included disabled people in her Skims adverts.
Applegate, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, took to Twitter to voice her opinion on the whole thing after Owens spoke about Kardashian’s campaign on her “Daily Wire” podcast.
Owens said, according to People, “I don’t really understand how far we’re going to take this inclusivity thing, I really don’t get it, and if I am wrong educate me,” questioning “why this needs to be done.”
She went on, “Look, I assume that people who’re in wheelchairs also have to buy bras, have to buy underwear, I just assume that is a thing. I didn’t know that we needed to see that in our face.
“I didn’t know that now we’re going to have to look forward to campaigns where women that...

Saturday Night Live post-production workers have signed a contract averting a forthcoming strike.
After unionising in October with the Motion Picture Editors Guild, a group of 12-20 staff members who work on the pre-taped segments and sketches in the weekly comedy series had called for increased pay and maintained healthcare coverage.
The post-production crew said that NBC Universal had “refused” to meet their needs and were calling for a strike on Saturday 1 April.
However, after a deal was tentatively reached earlier this week, a vote was unanimously passed by the staffers on Wednesday (22 March) and their contracts were officially ratified on Thursday (23 March).
Under the new contract, The Hollywood Reporter reports, postproduction workers will be given immediate pay increases ranging from 7.5 to 33.5 per cent increases compared to their previous pay rates. During the three-year contract, workers’ pay raises will eventually increase up to 60 per cent, the union stated.

The BBC has decided not to resume filming Top Gear after presenter Freddie Flintoff was injured in a horrific accident during production.
The cricketer-turned-presenter was airlifted to hospital last December after crashing while filming a car review at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, home of the Top Gear test track.
In a statement, the BBC said: “Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34.
“We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery.
“We understand this [halting the show] will be disappointing for fans, but it is the right thing to do, and we’ll make a judgement about how best to continue later this year.”
The broadcaster added that it would be conducting a health and safety review of the show.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Flintoff was putting his TV career “on hold” at the behest of his family in...
