Kathy Bates is admitting she initially threw the script for The Waterboy in the trash because she wasn’t familiar with Adam Sandler yet. During a recent video interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Emmy and Oscar winner recalled the moment she first received the script for the 1998 sports comedy. “I didn’t know who Adam Sandler was and I got a script. It was a football script, and I was like, ‘Oh, let’s give me a football.’ Twelve pages I read and I thought, ‘Oh man, I can’t do this thing. This is ridiculous,’” she recounted. “So, I just tossed…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! CHICAGO — One of the people who helped design the towering Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s South Side told Fox News Digital that boldness was the 44th president’s goal in the construction of what has become a polarizing finished product.”The architects knew with the client that they wanted to do something bold at the top of the tower, and the vision of the speech came to life,” Chris Bird, a Washington, D.C. based structural engineer told Fox News Digital just before the site opened to the public Friday.Specifically, Bird designed the…
President Donald Trump takes decorating very, very seriously. Trump, who has remade both the interior and exterior of the White House with gaudy golden decor, even took matters literally into his own hands, according to a new book. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt one morning found Trump using super glue to personally attach golden embellishments to the Oval Office fireplace mantle, according to the forthcoming book “Regime Change” by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.“As he was known to prefer his own aesthetic handiwork to anyone else’s, the sight of the president squeezing glue onto gilded…
The Trump administration’s decision this week to put Heath Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in charge of special education programs has sparked a sharp backlash from advocates for students with disabilities, who say the move will hurt children and that his views on autism make him unfit for the job.Mr. Kennedy said earlier this year that children with autism would never hold a job, play baseball or go on a date. He quickly walked back the remarks, saying he was only speaking about the most severe cases — only to insist the next day that special education should be moved…

One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics centers on a number known as the cosmological constant. This value describes the energy responsible for the universe’s accelerating expansion. It also sits at the heart of a major conflict between two of science’s most successful theories. According to quantum field theory (QFT), the framework that describes elementary particles and their interactions, empty space should be filled with quantum fluctuations that contribute an enormous amount of energy. In fact, calculations suggest the cosmological constant should be extraordinarily large, effectively approaching infinity. Yet observations show something very different. The actual value of the…
Hunter Biden took to social media Thursday to blast the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the White House South Lawn, framing his criticism as an open letter to podcaster Joe Rogan — and closing it with a challenge to Donald Trump Jr. to settle their differences in a cage match. “Dear Joe, I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House,” Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joseph R. Biden, wrote on X. Mr. Biden…
Donald Trump unveiled the new, temporary Air Force One at a hangar at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Friday, a day after White House officials bid farewell to one of two Boeing 747s used to transport presidents for more than 30 years.The new jet, designated VC-25B and decked out in a punchy red, white, dark blue and gold livery, was gifted to Trump by the Gulf emirate of Qatar, provoking howls of political protest since the $400m jet wildly exceeds the limit on unsolicited gifts of $50 in value in a single calendar year from the same source.Trump dismissed…
