Controversy as Tennessee Republican Caucus Chair objects to honouring Allison Russell – but not Paramore
Grammy Award-winning musicians, the state of Tennessee has shared that it is fine praising Paramore, but not Allison Russell.Both artists took home awards at the 2024 ceremony for the Grammys earlier this month – with Paramore winning in Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance categories, and Russell taking home the Best American Roots Performance with her song ‘Eve Was Black’.However, despite both Russell and Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams openly speaking out against anti-LGBTQIA+ legislatures in Tennessee in the past, a Republican leader has blocked a resolution to honour the former.The decision to celebrate the artists following their wins was put forward by Democrat Justin Jones, however, but it was House Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison who objected to the second and had the decision killed.According to The Tennessean, Faison took no issue with Paramore being honoured, but made a “procedural move that kicked Jones’ resolution off the night’s consent calendar and back to committee, where objected consent items often die.” The reasons behind the block have yet to be explained.Discussing the decision during an announcements portion of the House floor session on Monday evening (February 12), Jones said: “There are people in our midst who are making Black history, and I want to honour them during this Black History Month.”He continued: “I would like to announce that it’s concerning that this body chooses to denigrate, or to—” House Speaker Cameron Sexton then cut off his mic (via Stereogum).He also took to social media to write: “Tonight my Republican colleagues blocked a resolution honouring Black American Roots artist Allison Russell for her first Grammy win… (Russell) has worked tirelessly to

The Gay Education of Matt Bomer
Fellow Travelers, in which Bomer and Jonathan Bailey star as secret lovers who meet in McCarthy-era Washington.While a rapt audience inside the screening room enjoyed the series’ racy, ’70s-era Fire Island episode, Bomer, prompted by our discussion of whether actors are destined for certain roles, mused on his uncertain path to his SAG Award-nominated role as closeted WWII vet turned State Department official Hawkins Fuller.“It’s so interesting, because this came to me early on and I was so pessimistic about it,” he says. “I started out in this industry — I’ve been doing this almost 30 years — at a time when something like this just wouldn’t get made, period.”Still, throughout his career, the erstwhile White Collar lead has represented the LGBTQ community admirably offscreen, and in stage and screen revivals of The Boys in the Band, and his Golden Globe-winning portrayal of a writer with AIDS in HBO’s The Normal Heart.“We have seen this slow ebb of progress happening in Hollywood in our storytelling,” he says, citing Fellow Travelers creator Ron Nyswaner’s “beautiful scripts,” and the support of Showtime and Paramount for the show as prime examples of that progress.

Tim Allen refuses to watch ‘ugly Santa movies’ with ‘knives and stabbing’
viewing of “Violent Night.”The “Home Improvement” alum, who is known for his portrayal of Saint Nick in his “The Santa Claus” film franchise, prefers watching more wholesome, family holiday movies — like his own.“I can’t watch another Santa Claus movie. Especially when they’re bad Santas,” Allen, 70, told The Post in a joint interview with his daughter, Elizabeth Allen-Dick, while promoting “The Santa Clauses.”“I know there are people that like the ugly Santa movies but sometimes I’m like, ‘Eh, I don’t know if I like bad Santas.’ You know, dressed up with knives and stabbing,” he added. “I don’t like that.”The comedian stepped into Santa’s shoes as Scott Calvin in 1994’s “The Santa Clause,” going on to make two more films and his Disney+ series, which is now in its second season.While other actors (Ed Asner in “Elf,” Richard Attenborough in “Miracle on 34th Street” and Kurt Russell in “The Christmas Chronicles”) have played a light-hearted Kriss Kringle, David Harbour and Billy Bob Thornton have taken on darker versions in 2022’s “Violent Night” and 2003’s “Bad Santa,” respectively.“I’m not judging other shows,” Allen insisted.
