George Clooney: ‘Everybody worries' about being targeted by Trump
George Clooney, a vocal critic of President Trump, says fears of being targeted by the administration are widespread. 'Everybody worries about it,' Clooney told Anderson Cooper in a Wednesday interview on CNN. 'But if you spend your life worrying about things, then you won't do things,' the 'Good Night, and Good Luck' actor said. 'Like everybody, we have a family and we have a life and we try to live and do the things as the best example for our kids,' the Academy Award winner, who's married to human rights attorney Amal Clooney, told the 'Anderson Cooper 360' host. 'I want to be able to look at my kids in the eye and say where we stood and what we did at certain times in history. And I have no problem with that,' said Clooney, one of Hollywood's most prominent Democratic supporters. Last year, Clooney famously penned a New York Times op-ed calling for then-President Biden to abandon his 2024 reelection campaign, citing the commander in chief's age. Biden withdrew from the race weeks later and Clooney backed then-Vice President Kamala Harris's White House bid. In the interview with Cooper, Clooney expressed skepticism when asked if 'Trumpism lasts beyond this term.' 'I don't think so. I think it'd be very hard to do it,' Clooney, 64, replied. 'Remember this: Donald Trump is a celebrity. That's what he is. I mean, he has a star on Hollywood Boulevard,' he said of the former 'Celebrity Apprentice' host, who's responded to Clooney's criticism in the past by calling him a 'second rate movie star.' 'I don't have a star. I'm not lobbying for one, I'm just saying,' Clooney added with a grin. 'He's a celebrity, and he's the president [of the] United States, and so he has been elected. Duly elected — fair deal. I'm not complaining about that. That's how it works. That's how this democracy works,' Clooney continued. 'But he's also a celebrity, and he is charming. And to the people who like him, they think he's funny — to a great many others, they don't,' he said of Trump. 'So when [Trump] is finished — and he will be finished — they're going to have to go looking for someone who can deliver the message that he delivered with the same kind of charisma, and they don't have that.'

‘Duck Dynasty' star Miss Kay's health declines following husband Phil Robertson's death
Miss Kay Robertson, the beloved matriarch of the "Duck Dynasty" clan, is facing a difficult chapter marked by grief and declining health. "Kay is not in the best of health," her son Willie told USA TODAY Network. "We're trying to help her out as much as we can." The 77-year-old was noticeably absent from the "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" premiere party on June 1, hosted in Monroe, Louisiana. The news of Robertson's declining health comes after she endured the tragic loss of her husband. Phil Robertson died on May 25 after suffering from Alzheimer's. He was 79. "Some of it is, she is just depressed," Willie remarked. "She lost her partner of 60 years." Her son continued to share that Kay made appearances in early episodes of the "Duck Dynasty" reboot. However, her declining health prevented her from filming and being featured in later episodes. Kay's health issues first came to light in April, when her son Jase Robertson shared on the podcast "Unashamed with the Robertson Family" that she had suffered a fall and developed an infection that required hospitalization. Jase said, "We were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it." Reps for the Robertsons did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. "My mom is not doing great physically," Jase said on the family podcast back in April. "She has to have pretty much 24/7 professional healthcare." Phil, at the time, said that their children's presence was helping her. "But my dad [said] it's like, 'You're helping her morale.' She's helping his morale." While their mother spent time in a health facility, Jase explained that family and friends had been visiting, with Kay's visitors dubbed "Kay's Kingdom." Last month, Willie remembered his late father through faith and their final moments together. Willie, who starred in the hit A&E reality series for five years, from 2012 to 2017, took to social media to mourn the loss of his legendary father following his death. "I remember Phil's many prayers on Memorial Day and all the times with my dad. I don't have enough words to tell of all of it, perhaps it will take months or years of remembering," he wrote in part on Instagram. "Most importantly, he taught me the value of sharing my faith with others. He was the Real Deal, the same on Sundays as Fridays. Most of our conversations were not about hunting or business, but about sharing the Gospel." Phil, famous for launching the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in December 2024. His son concluded his heartfelt tribute and wrote, "Phil, I love you and already miss you. Thank you for raising me the right way and teaching me the most important lesson to prepare me for the day you passed on. Not sure how people deal with loss without the Lord. We may be wrong about all this….but I doubt it! Sleep well Dad, can't wait to see you." A&E announced earlier this year that the hit show would be revived eight years after it aired its final episode. "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" focuses on Willie; his wife; their adult children, John Luke, Sadie, Will, Bella and Rebecca; and their grandchildren, according to a synopsis. The original "Duck Dynasty" aired for 11 seasons from 2012-17. Per A&E, the show peaked at 11.8 million viewers.
