Twelve celebrities are going to Summer school on Fox this July for a competition show that is unlike anything we have seen on US television.
Nation’s Dumbest, a proven format across multiple international territories, channels celebrities’ inner school spirit as they head back to summer school, facing a mix of brain-teasing tasks, fast-paced physical challenges, and long-buried classroom knowledge. Each week, the ‘smartest’ celebrity graduates, narrowing the field until a high-stakes final exam determines who will be left standing with the distinction no one wants – the title of The Nation’s Dumbest.
Enrolled in this season’s all-star class are television personality Hilaria Baldwin, actress and model Carmen Electra, actor Anthony Michael Hall, actor Jon Heder, musician and actor Chase Hudson, rapper and actor Ice-T, singer-songwriter Elle King, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, television personality Dr. Drew Pinsky, stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, singer and performer JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
“I can confidently say we have the absolute dumbest television format in the world – and for once, that’s by design, said Ryan O’Dowd, President of Unscripted, BBC Studios. “Nation’s Dumbest celebrates humor, humility, and the universal experience of not always getting it right. With Jack Whitehall leading the chaos and a cast fully in on the joke, it’s a bold, irreverent series packed with big laughs and real surprises.”
Class is in session on July 15th. Be there, or be square.
This morning on Good Morning America, they revealed who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars. And, like most seasons, I am still trying to figure out who most of the stars are.
So, who are they? They are:
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Jen Affleck with partner Jan Ravnik
Author and wellness influencer Hilaria Baldwin and partner Gleb Savchenko
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with partner Ezra Sosa
NBA All-Star Baron Davis with partner Britt Stewart
Social media personality Alix Earle with partner Val Chmerkovskiy
Social media and reality TV star Dylan Efron and partner Daniella Karagach
Actor and musician Corey Feldman with partner Jenna Johnson
“Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel with partner Pasha Pashkov
Film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix with partner Alan Bersten
From “Pentatonix,” GRAMMY® winner Scott Hoying with partner Rylee Arnold
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with partner Witney Carson
From “Fifth Harmony,” Lauren Jauregui with partner Brandon Armstrong
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Whitney Leavitt with partner Mark Ballas
Comedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater
I think that Jennifer Affleck has a good chance of winning. Not because she is the best dancer, which she might be. She will win because her partner is Jan Ravnik, whose claim to fame is dancing on the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Therefore, the Swifties will be voting for him in mass, and we know how massive their support is.
I also think that Corey Feldman and Hilaria Baldwin will be the first ones out because I don’t think they are not that likable.
Season 34 premieres dances its way onto ABC on September 16th.
I spend every day watching TikTok, so I have seen a lot of videos. However, none as dumb as the one Hilaria and Alec Baldwin posted.
People have been saying that Hilaria controls her husband like a puppet, so they wanted to prove it.
The actor sat in a chair, as his wife stood over him on a chair, holding two spoons as if she was controlling him like a marionette.
The video is stupid, but what makes it one of the dumbest is Alec’s face.
To me, this shows they need to keep to scripted material because they are not funny. I have a feeling Hilaria came up with the idea, she should stick to something she is better at…getting pregnant.
If Rust were any other Western movie, it would’ve gone straight to streaming. However, it is not.
It is known as the movie where Alec Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set as they were prepping for a scene in October 2021.
At that moment, the film should’ve been shelved permanently. Instead, the hubris of the people in charge decided to finish the film and plan on releasing it on May 2nd.
Today, they released the trailer, and it contains numerous troubling moments.
One guy says, “Gd bless the wicked.” I would say it is the wicked who are releasing Rust.
Another one says, “They continue to pay my bills.” I think it is greed which is why.
Then you hear Baldwin say, “Some things in this life you can’t give back, I reckon.” I reckon like, Hutchins’ life.
Finally, there is the description of the movie: In 1880s Kansas, recently orphaned Lucas McCalister (Patrick Scott McDermott) accidentally kills a rancher and is sentenced to hang. In a twist of fate, his estranged grandfather, the notorious outlaw Harland Rust (Academy Award nominee Alec Baldwin), breaks him out of jail and takes him on the run toward Mexico. As they flee across the unforgiving wilderness, the fugitive pair must outrun the determined U.S. Marshal Wood Helm (Josh Hopkins) and a ruthless bounty hunter named “Preacher” (Travis Fimmel).
“Accidentally kills a rancher,” need I say more.
There is so much poor taste going around with actually releasing it, I can’t put in the correct words. So, I will leave it with the last line from the trailer, Baldwin says, “Heaven ain’t waiting on neither one of us.”
Hilaria and Alec Baldwin have seven kids: Carmen Gabriela, 10, Rafael Thomas, 8, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Romeo Alejandro David, 5, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 3, María Lucía Victoria, 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 19 months. In 2025, we are getting another Baldwin baby.
Not one that cries, but the family of nine is working on a reality series for TLC documenting their lives raising seven children under 11 years old.
The Baldwins will be a look into their madness but also their joy!
And hopefully, Alec will be making enough money to support his family. Because why else would he do it?
