Megyn Kelly fires back at George Clooney over journalism jab: ‘That's not journalism, George…'
Megyn Kelly isn't holding back after George Clooney appeared to take a swipe at her journalistic credentials during a conversation with Broadway legend Patti LuPone for Variety's Actors on Actors.
On the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, the former Fox News and NBC anchor responded to Clooney's comments. 'He's starring in a play about Edward R. Murrow because Clooney fancies himself a journalist, you see, and has lots of thoughts on how journalists need to do journalism,' Kelly said.

Clooney's much-discussed New York Times op-ed in which he called for President Joe Biden to step down from the 2024 race, alluding that Kelly argued, 'He does it mainly by stumbling upon the biggest story of the decade, that a sitting president is mentally infirm and ought to be 25th Amendment'ed right out of office, and then burying it, saying absolutely nothing for weeks on end.'
'And then only after that president humiliates himself on the national stage at a Presidential debate, and then refuses to step down as the entire Democrat Party watches its electoral chances up and down the ticket go swirling down the toilet.'
'Finally, he decides to write an op-ed in the New York Times saying Joe Biden is not up for the job,' she continued. 'That's not journalism, George — it's cowardice and naked partisanship. You're not fooling anyone.'
Kelly also threw shade at Clooney's new Broadway project, Good Night, and Good Luck, 'So now he's starring in his Broadway show … by the way, what's the matter, George? Are the Hollywood roles getting a little hard to come by as you age and get decidedly more smug and self-congratulatory? I'm just asking!'

'I don't care much in terms of what they say,' he told LuPone. 'We don't tell people what to think when we show that montage at the end, for instance. You see Megyn Kelly, who's come out and said I'm not a journalist. I didn't say I was a journalist.'

'You can always see it coming': Bryce Dallas Howard on her box office failures with Argylle, The Lady in the Water
Washington DC [US], June 12 (ANI): Bryce Dallas Howard has been one of the most successful actors and directors of Hollywood, who is known for his work in the Jurassic World franchise and Star Wars series like 'The Mandalorian'. The filmmaker opened up about her painstaking box office failures like 'Argylle' and 'The Lady in the Water' and said that she was not shocked by its poor business as she "saw it coming", reported Variety. In an interview with 'The Independent', as quoted by Variety, the actress said, "You can always see it coming while you're making it. I've never been shocked when something doesn't work. But I'm just an actor - you're there to serve a director's vision. If a movie doesn't turn out the way that you envisioned, you can barely feel disappointed because it's not yours. You're not the person who's building the thing." Howard said she has seen her father, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard, break down emotionally when one of his films doesn't do well, adding: "It blows him away that I don't do that," as quoted by Variety. As per the outlet, when Ron's 1992 romance "Far and Away" with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman bombed at the box office, for instance, Howard remembered her father turning to Clint Eastwood for advice on how to cope with movie failures. "He said, 'Ronnie - a career is like a season of television. You've got 24 episodes, some of the episodes are going to be bad, some are going to be serviceable, maybe a little forgettable, and maybe five of those episodes are going to be really strong and last," added Howard. As per Variety, Bryce Dallas Howard suffered one of her biggest flops last year with 'Argylle,' the 200 million USD star-studded spy comedy from 'Kingsman' filmmaker Matthew Vaughn. Howard headlined the tentpole as a spy novelist who gets pulled into a real-life espionage mission. Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena and more co-starred. Despite the talent, 'Argylle' tapped out at the box office with just 96 million USD worldwide. (ANI)
