Tenacious D is on the road, and they played Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, which happens to be Kyle Gass’ birthday. So Jack Black brought out a cake and got the audience to sing Happy Birthday to his friend.
When they were done, Black asked Glass to make a wish. His wish was, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Needless to say, that comment on the public stage did not go over well. So today, Black made an announcement, “I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” he wrote. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”
This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. The former takes responsibility for the mistakes.
UPDATE: Kyle Gass released his own statement: “The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I’m incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgement. I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain I’ve caused.”
Airfare is expensive, so we can’t afford to fly to Paris for the Olympics. Because of that, Krispy Kreme is bringing us Parisian treats with three new donuts.

Before Shannen Doherty was far from being a girl scout in Heathers, she was in Night Shift. How cute was the late actress in that 1982 movie when she was just 10 years old?
Back in the late ’90s, Miss Cleo and her commercials for her Psychic Readers Network were all over our televisions. Until, it was exposed that she was a fake. And then, she was no longer on our TVs.
But on August 10th, Lifetime will tell her story in Miss Cleo: Her Rise and Fall.
Known for her work during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s with the Psychic Readers Network, this professional telephone and television psychic Youree Dell Harris (Allen) was launched into the pop culture zeitgeist when the network’s infomercials took off, making her a cult icon as the TV persona Miss Cleo. Fondly remembered for donning a colorful turban in a candlelit room, Miss Cleo dutifully listened to callers detailing the most intimate details of their lives. Miss Cleo ultimately became the face of the Psychic Readers Network, earning the trust and loyalty for those that called her. Years later, Harris’ world was turned upside down with complaints that the Psychic Readers Network was fraudulent and spread false advertising. Facing angry fans, Harris was forced to defend her reputation to clear her name and escape financial devastation.
I don’t know about you, but I forgot about the late Miss Cleo until this biopic. And now I can’t wait to watch it.
