Landing the part of Richard Splett on HBO’s “Veep” wasn’t an overnight trip for comedian Sam Richardson. The actor auditioned a few times, for a couple different roles, and by the time the role of Richard rolled around, he was feeling a little “bummed,” by the whole process, Richardson told TheWrap in a recent interview. “Should I even waste my time?” he asked himself. But he auditioned, and it turned out that good things come to those who try, try again. He landed the part, and the over-literal... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Don't cross President Donald Trump. That's the lesson many Republicans are drawing from Rep. Mark Sanford's surprise defeat Tuesday in his primary election in South Carolina. The victor, state Rep. Katie Arrington, repeatedly highlighted Sanford's criticism of the president. The outcome is a cautionary tale for Republicans in Congress who try to work with Trump while also maintaining their independence. One wrong turn — or in Sanford's case, many — and they could face the wrath... Читать дальше...

Stan Lee filed a restraining order on Wednesday against his business manager, Keya Morgan, a media rep for the Los Angeles Superior Court told TheWrap.

Watch your tail, Mickey: Comcast just swooped in with $10.8 billion — or 19 percent — more for 21st Century Fox assets than Disney’s accepted offer. But that’s not all Brian L. Roberts & co. is willing to fork over for Fox to reconsider its sale to Bob Iger’s mass-media corporation. First, there is the same insurance policy that Disney offered Fox. If Fox picks Comcast over Disney and their merger doesn’t go through, the 21st Century company gets $2.5 billion dollars. Also Read: 21st Century... Читать дальше...

___ Fed raises key rate and sees possible acceleration in hikes WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve took note of a resilient U.S. economy Wednesday by raising its benchmark interest rate for the second time this year and signaling that it may step up its pace of rate increases.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Californians will face a choice this November of whether to divide the nation's most populous state into three, an effort that would radically shake up not only the West Coast, but the entire nation. The "Cal 3" initiative is driven by venture capitalist Tim Draper, who has tried and failed in the past to place an effort to break up California on the ballot, including a bid in 2016 to create six separate states. Backers of the measure argue California has become "ungovernable"... Читать дальше...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some of the first officers to respond to the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history directed people to take cover, armed themselves and gathered in groups to try to find and stop the Las Vegas gunman, according to video from police body-worn cameras that was released Wednesday. "It's coming from the Mandalay Bay!" an officer is heard saying on one video. "Stay down!" he tells unseen people during bursts of rapid gunfire, while a dispatcher on his police radio says multiple people have gunshot wounds. Читать дальше...

It looks like Jim Carrey does know Jack about the relationship between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. Following an earlier pictorial reflection on the meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim, “The Mask” actor Carrey served up a second round of his thoughts on their relationship on Tuesday. In his second take on the matter, Carrey did some boozy math, seeming to equate the combination of Trump and Kim with the ill-advised pairing of hooch and driving.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on 2018 midterm primaries (all times EDT): 5:35 p.m. South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford is attributing his Republican primary defeat to voters mainly concerned with whether he was sufficiently loyal to President Donald Trump. Sanford lost a bid for a seventh House term in Tuesday's voting. Trump had tweeted an endorsement of his opponent and said Sanford has been "very unhelpful" and "nothing but trouble." Sanford tells reporters that the race devolved down to whether he... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has repeatedly refused to provide former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe with documents related to his firing, according to a lawsuit filed on his behalf. The complaint filed Tuesday says the Justice Department has publicly defended the firing yet failed to identify for McCabe the policies and procedures it followed before dismissing him. The department has withheld the information, McCabe’s lawyers allege, for fear that the materials could be used against them in any additional lawsuits. Читать дальше...

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — President Donald Trump has tweeted congratulations to Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer for his "huge win" in North Dakota's Senate primary and included a jab at Cramer's fall opponent, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp.

“Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown has apparently left Twitter. When TheWrap tried to access her verified account, @milliebbrown, on Wednesday, a blue Twitter page came up saying the page “doesn’t exist.” The page went missing after multiple images of the actress were turned into anti-gay tweets, culminating in a meme that gained steam on the messaging platform. Brown, who is only 14, became the subject of a series of Photoshopped images depicting her as homophobic, as well as a hashtag #TakeDownMillieBobbyBrown... Читать дальше...
