'Harry Potter' actor stands by JK Rowling at Tony Awards amid criticism of her transgender views
"Harry Potter" actor Tom Felton defended JK Rowling at Sunday night's Tony Awards after being asked about the fierce liberal backlash she's received for her views on gender and biology. The British actor was on the red carpet at the awards show Sunday, where he was interviewed by Variety about reprising his film role as Draco Malfoy in the Broadway play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The play, based off an original story co-authored by Rowling, takes place 19 years after the final "Harry Potter" novel. Felton was asked if the controversy surrounding Rowling's transgender views had affected his work at all, which he denied. Rowling has been a strong advocate for single-sex spaces for women and has repeatedly been labeled as transphobic by far-left activists. John Lithgow Shocked By Backlash He Got From Pro-trans Activists Over Joining New 'Harry Potter' Series "No, I can't say that it does. I'm not really that attuned to it," Felton said before praising the series' author. Read On The Fox News App "The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world — here I am in New York — and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than 'Potter,'" Felton explained to Variety. "And she's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful." Felton previously expressed his admiration for the author in a 2022 interview as she faced criticism from transgender activists for her views. "I am quick to remind myself and others that 'Potter,' for some reason, has brought more people together across the world and more generations than probably anything else has in the past 20 years, and I'm quick to celebrate that," he told The Times of London in a 2022 interview. "It came from one person, and that's her, so I'm very grateful." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Rowling's hugely popular book series, which launched the hit film franchise which Felton starred in, has not lost its appeal with fans. Beyond the Broadway play, the series is also being adapted into an upcoming HBO television series. Felton shared his excitement at reprising his Potter role all these years later with his Broadway debut. "I think we all thought that the fandom flame might be doused over the years, but clearly it's not," he said Sunday. "The most exciting part is to do it live. It took nine months, more or less, to shoot a film, and this is all compact. This is all reimagined into a very loving, new type of story. And I get to be a dad, which is really fun."Original article source: 'Harry Potter' actor stands by JK Rowling at Tony Awards amid criticism of her transgender views

Lea Michele's Tonys Look Paid Homage to Her Upcoming Role in 'Chess'
Lea Michele is making a triumphant return to Broadway this fall in the revival of Chess, and what better place to celebrate than at the Tony Awards? Last night, the actress appeared at Radio City Music Hall, where she joined co-star Aaron Tveit to present the trophy for Best Revival of a Musical. Together, they announced the winner: the Nicole Scherzinger-led Sunset Boulevard. For the big event, Michele wore a custom Michael Kors Collection look: a black halter tuxedo jacket with a plunging lapel neckline, paired with a pleated chiffon skirt featuring a thigh-high slit. She accessorized with classic black pumps and shimmering silver jewelry—including earrings, a bracelet, a bangle, and a ring—all by EFFY Jewelry. Consider it a seductive spin on the classic tailored suit. For the uninitiated, Chess is a musical set against the backdrop of the Cold War, revolving around an intense chess championship—and a complicated love triangle—between an American and a Russian. Joining Michele and Tveit is Nicholas Christopher (known for Miss Saigon and Hamilton), rounding out the trio. The production features a score by ABBA's Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with lyrics by Tim Rice. The book for this iteration is penned by Danny Strong (Dopesick) and Michael Mayer will direct. (He previously collaborated with Michele on Spring Awakening and Funny Girl, according to The Hollywood Reporter.) The cast already had a 29-hour reading earlier this month. 'I am beyond excited to be returning to Broadway this fall with my amazing new co-stars in Chess,' Michele tells ELLE. 'I made my Broadway debut when I was 8 years old, and I've had the pleasure of being a part of this community for 30 years now. I cannot wait to get back onto the stage.' Before Chess opens at the Shubert Theatre, Michele will be gracing stages elsewhere—she's currently in the midst of a solo concert tour across the U.S. and Canada. 'I'm having so much fun on tour singing songs that are so special to me,' she says of the shows. 'It's a mix of songs from Broadway shows that I have been in, some songs from my studio albums, as well as songs from Glee! We also included a fun new section that we think Rachel Berry would sing currently, and I think fans have really enjoyed that part of the show. I also tell a lot of stories and have fun interactions with the audience.' Michele wasn't the only former Glee star at the Tonys last night—Darren Criss (who won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical) and Jonathan Groff (who was nominated in the same category and performed in the Hamilton reunion) were also in attendance. Famous guest stars including Kristin Chenoweth, Lea Salonga, and Adam Lambert rounded out the crowd. Below, see how Michele got ready for Broadway's biggest night.

Tyler, the Creator, Finneas, Kehlani & More React to Los Angeles Protests Against ICE
Artists are speaking out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and offering support to protestors in Los Angeles after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to the city over the weekend. Among those taking to social media on Sunday (June 8) voicing their frustrations were Tyler, The Creator, Finneas, The Game, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Kehlani, Tom Morello, Reneé Rapp and Rebecca Black. More from Billboard Kylie Minogue Joins Prestigious '21 Club' at London's O2 Arena Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set 'Maybe Happy Ending,' 'Sunset Blvd.' Win Key 2025 Tony Awards: Full Winners List 'F–K ICE,' Tyler wrote to his Instagram Story accompanied by a scene from 2002's Paid in Full in which the phrase is repeated multiple times. Billie Joe Armstrong posted a scene from one of the L.A. protests to his Instagram over the weekend, which he captioned with a middle finger emoji and an ice cube emoji. He used 'F— Off' from Green Day's latest album Saviors (Édition de Luxe) to soundtrack the clip. Kehlani, who has never been shy to speak out about various political issues, wrote, 'And long live the resistance. Every single one of them.' The singer's IG Story message was attached to another social media post that read, 'Stop calling what's happening as L.A. RIOTS. It's RESISTANCE.' Rapp added a post to her IG Story condemning ICE's actions following an uptick in deportation raids. 'F—k ICE f—k this administration f—k all of yall who are complicit in ensuring that this happened this is a f—ing disgrace,' she wrote. Black chimed in with an Instagram Story repost backing the protestors and blasting ICE's actions. 'I [heart] LA F—K ICE. F—K ALL OF YOU GI JOE LOSERS IF YOU ARE INTO THIS FASCIST S—T YOU ARE SMALL AND WEAK AND WILL LOSE,' the message reads. Finneas attended the 'very peaceful protests' himself and claimed to have been teargassed by authorities. 'Tear-gassed almost immediately at the very peaceful protest downtown. They're inciting this,' he wrote to his IG Story. Finneas also reposted a clip that appeared to show 9News reporter Lauren Tomasi being shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by law enforcement while she was reporting from the scene. West Coast rap veteran The Game stood in solidarity with the protestors in his post on Instagram. 'Ever since I could remember … it's been black & brown in this city,' the Compton rapper wrote. 'From the early days of my childhood til now, we've been side by side through it all. All of us. All the time. Not always seeing eye to eye but we've shared Los Angeles for a very long time. I stand with y'all like I know you'd stand with us.' Former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello also hit the streets to stand with those in L.A. against ICE over the weekend. 'Made some friends in Boyle Heights and DTLA yesterday. #DefendLA #WhatBetterPlaceThanHereWhatBetterTimeThanNow,' Morello wrote to IG with a photo of him holding a 'Defend LA' sign while wearing a 'Destroy American Fascism' shirt. Plenty of other celebrities posted messages supporting the protestors and blasting the National Guard's deployment, including actresses Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria. Per CNN, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom are planning to sue the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard to L.A. without their consent, an action the governor described as 'illegal, immoral and unconstitutional.' According to the Associated Press, police declared the protest to be an 'unlawful assembly,' and most of the crowd was dispersed by the evening.
