Harrison Ford Has Some Blunt Words About John Boyega Taking Over For Him In Star Wars Part of the job of the new trilogy of Star Wars films has been to act as a passing of the torch from the original trilogy to the new Disney-led universe.

In typical Harrison Ford fashion, the actor couldn't care less. According to Ford... ...  I don't know that I thought of it that way at all, I was there to die. And I didn't really give a rat's ass who got my sword. Harrison Ford is somewhat famous for the fact that he's clearly never loved the Star Wars franchise as much as the fans. He famously wanted to see Han Solo die at the end of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi , and was likely e...

Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore pleads for $250,000 from supporters to pay legal fees Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is long past the need for campaign contributions, but that didn't stop him from pleading with supporters to help pay his hefty legal fees incurred trying to fight sexual misconduct allegations.

It was a similar situation on   online, where Fox's homepage contained zero mentions of Kushner as of Wednesday morning when this story was published.

Those three are the major ratings-drivers for Fox, reaching a larger audience than its daytime counterparts. They are also among Trump's biggest boosters and defenders in the...
