Two via Ace: first up, Alyssa Milano self-beclowns in most spectacular fashion.
Alyssa Milano responds after critics slam her as ‘out of touch’ for requesting money for son’s baseball trip
‘Charmed’ star Alyssa Milano shares 12-year-old Milo with husband David BugliariActress Alyssa Milano is responding after angering fans on social media by asking if they could donate to her son’s baseball team.
A day after her donation request, Milano took to X, formerly Twitter, to share that she had gotten a lot of “media inquiries about whether [she has] financially contributed to [her] son’s baseball team.”
“I’ve paid for uniforms for the entire team and coaches, thrown bday parties and sponsor any kid who can’t afford monthly dues,” she wrote Friday. “The kids also do fundraising themselves — car washes, movie nights, and many other fun things! Thank you to all who have contributed to the gofundme! You’ve made things easier for these boys and their families.”
Social media users were confused why Milano was asking her followers for money, when she is a multimillionaire. Milano starred on the hit drama “Charmed” for six seasons, and Bugliari is the co-head of motion picture talent at the management firm Creative Artists Agency.
Many were left wondering “why isn’t Alyssa Milano paying for the trip for the whole team herself,” while others were questioning why the actress is “asking for money from people who can barely buy groceries.”
Gotta say, that question occurred to me also. Next up, Kurt Russell provides the antidote, in most refreshing, no-bullshit fashion.
The short version of Kurt Russell on gun control is basically “you’ll take it from my cold, dead hands buddy”.
He was on 🔥 with this woke writer.
Didn’t know he was this cool but it makes sense since Tombstone is the best western film in human history. pic.twitter.com/Z0siGcGg7z

Most hilarious aspect: the “journalist” doing the interview obviously assumed he had himself a natural “gimme” with a big Hollywood name who was just bound to agree with his hoplophobic views such as Russell—OOOOPS!—but ended up getting his butt in the blades and chawed all to hell and gone instead. Y’know, a lot like Billy Bob Thornton’s poor character did in this solid-gold scene.
“You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed? No? I didn’t think so.” Priceless, just priceless. Nice to know that the guy who could utter those lines so brilliantly really does have his heart in the right place, and ain’t exactly what you’d call shy about saying so either.
Update! Via brack in the comments: Clay Travis steps up, problem solved. Just one leeeeetle catch…and it’s hilarious.
Since Alyssa Milano couldn’t afford to pay for her son’s baseball team to travel to Cooperstown, @ClayTravis went ahead and paid off her GoFundMe, but there’s a catch… pic.twitter.com/qEuW9iSUk8

I’m not going to bother looking it up, but IIRC, Russell is married to Goldie Hawn and the pair are both notably conservative.
Im glad KR is solid, so far not too many in hollyweird, only ones for sure
Eastwood, Russell
Clay Travis graciously paid off the GoFundMe for the kids to go to Cooperstown, with one catch… https://x.com/Outkick/status/1752090428533252118?s=20
That schmuck was Hollywood hack blogger Jeffrey Wells, who had a gun control agenda when interviewing Russell in 2015, when Russell was doing his press junket for Hateful Eight.
Wells was an idiot, and listening to Russell spank him soundly with a cluebat is still choice, but it’s a eight- or nine-year-old moment.
