Dreyfus’ character made fun of the vice presidency
Three Vice Presidents – past and present – in one room.
Well, kind of.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus – whose show ‘VEEP’ made fun of the vice presidency – met with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the White House for the President’s annual awards ceremony a few days ago.
The moment was released by the White House.
When presenting the award, Biden said Louis-Dreyfus “embraces life’s absurdity with absolute wit, and handles real life turns with absolute grace. A mom, a cancer survivor, a pioneer for women in comedy, she is an American original.”
The ‘Creed III’ actor also had an advertising campaign involving the U.S. Army pulled
‘Creed III’ star Jonathan Majors has been arrested in New York City on assault and harassment charges.
Majors was part of this ad campaign with the U.S. Army, who have quickly pulled the advertisements from showing in the U.S.
He was arrested on Saturday morning in Manhattan following a domestic dispute.
A 30-year-old woman suffered minor injuries to her head and neck and was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
The U.S. Army says: “While Mr. Majors is innocent until proven guilty, prudence dictates that we pull our ads until the investigation into these allegations is complete”.
Majors rose to fame in the 2019 film ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ and appeared in Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ released this year.
The 32-year-old has been dealing with depression in the past, and felt the feelings resurface last year
Ed Sheeran has opened up during a new interview with Rolling Stone.
The hugely-popular singer-songwriter says he “didn’t want to live any more” after the deaths of his friends SBTV founder Jamal Edwards and cricketer Shane Warne.
Edwards gave Sheeran his first big break and died suddenly from a heart attack in after taking cocaine and drinking alcohol.
Sheeran believes the tragedy convinced him to kick a drug habit he himself had developed in his 20s.
Sheeran says he has been dealing with depression “throughout [his] life” and felt the feelings resurface last year.
A parent to two young girls, Sheeran was worried his thoughts were “selfish” and as a father he “felt really embarrassed about it”.
The 32-year-old credits his wife with encouraging him to seek help.
“The help isn’t a button that is pressed, where you’re automatically OK. It is something that will always be there and just has to be managed.”
