Hates Trump & It's Mueller Time Trump's Favorite Pastime LGBT Protesters Our longtime MSNBC producer for Rachel Maddow, Andrew Dallos , captured the anger and the solidarity of the people of New York City today. Hundreds of thousands gathered around the nation Saturday, brandishing signs and sporting pink hats, at Women’s Marches in cities across the U.S. in the second such protest since Donald Trump entered the White House. We just love the creativity of Americans. They carried signs like "IM'PEE'ACH" , It's Mueller Time and Thank You Rachel Maddow. #maddow #resist #voterepublicansout18

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER   By: G. H. Harding ****  Alec Baldwin BALDWIN CANNED --- MSNBC yesterday officially canceled Alec Baldwin’s Up Late talk show. It only lasted 5 episodes (including one with Mayor-elect Bill De Blasio that was actually quite provocative), but the rest were kind of plodding. He did one show with actress Debra Winger that went on far too long. I think with this show fading away, Baldwin’s finally accomplished what he kept wishing for; distancing himself from show business. Anger issues aside, he’s a great actor, but is it really worth the hassle of his ego? I heard a story that he allegedly wanted access to a particular make up room, where a guest who had cancer was using. I heard he said he didn't care and wanted the room. Out of respect for Alec, I'm not going to print anymore alleged rumors. Too bad, with a new wife and daughter, he’s going to need the income. He'll be back for sure; he'll do a Barbara Walters...

Rutgers Womans Basketball team forgives ! Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer said Friday the team had accepted radio host Don Imus' apology. She said he deserves a chance to move on but hopes the furor his racist and sexist insult caused will be a catalyst for change."We, the Rutgers University Scarlet Knight basketball team, accept Mr. Imus' apology, and we are in the process of forgiving," Stringer read from a team statement a day after the women met personally with Imus and his wife."We still find his statements to be unacceptable, and this is an experience that we will never forget," she said. The team had just played for the NCAA national championship last week and lost when Imus, on his nationally syndicated radio show, called the players "nappy-headed hos." The statement outraged listeners and set off a national debate about taste and tolerance. It also led to his firing by CBS on Thursday."These comments are indi...

What happened to Forgive and Forget Don Imus ? Times Square Gossip has just learned that MSNBC has decided to pull the plug on The Don Imus show, because of remarks he made about the Rutgers womans basketball team. According to sources, this was the perfect excuse for parent company NBC and GE to drop the show which is very expensive to the network that has been cutting everything from staff at MSNBC to toilet paper for it's New Jersey studios. Said one source, " This has nothing to do with advertisers. They make money off Imus, but they figure they can replace programing with cheaper, taped shows with the hopes that advertisers will stay with them." Just one look at the MSNBC studios a while back when I was there as a guest, showed how hard parent company NBC (GE) is cutting back. A once full newsroom was almost empty with very few people working. Said once insider," This place is like a morgue ! ". The only talent left is Joe Scarbough ( A real talent ) and...

Al Sharpton is always ready for a good hookout ! American radio talk show host John Donald Imus, Jr., aka 'Don' Imus, is to appear on the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show today, Monday, Sharpton and MSNBC announced yesterday.On Wednesday, April 4, he called the Rutgers University women’s basketball team "nappy headed hos" on his "Imus in the Morning." Imus and McGuirk described the black members of the team as "jigaboos and wannabees," making a reference to filmmaker Spike Lee’s movie "School Daze," in which Lee sought to highlight and deconstruct the light skinned-dark skinned tension among black people. Imus was and is constantly offensive to many categories of people. The swift reaction to his comments was also due to the preceding incidents in entertainment which have already irritated the African-American community. Meanwhile, Al Sharpton maintains his position unchanged: He wants Imus fired and intends to write the FCC about the...
