'The Boys' creator admits 'sinking feeling' as reality 'out-crazies' his political final season
Amazon Prime Video’s series "The Boys" returned for its fifth and final season, and showrunner Eric Kripke noted in an interview the superhero show is heavily inspired by real life.
He said it’s a "sinking feeling" to watch real-world events that go beyond his show’s satire.
"It’s not a great feeling. It’s a sinking feeling. It’s never great when the world out-crazies your superhero show with exploding penises," Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter in an April 7 article, citing "internment camps" and the use of federal troops in cities.
He also criticized leadership, referring to the "clown in charge of the military" in comments about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
JIMMY KIMMEL SAYS TYRANNY RISING UNDER TRUMP, TAUNTS PRESIDENT OVER SHOW'S RETURN
"The Boys" follows a group of vigilantes who take on corrupt superheroes who abuse their power and stardom. Kripke previously compared the show’s main villain, Homelander, to President Donald Trump.

Despite the sharp political commentary, Kripke maintained that the show’s "quarrel is not with people" but with those in charge. He noted that the writers included a "right-winger" character who is portrayed as a "good guy," explaining that the show’s focus is on "leaders who are just really problematic."

The premiere opens with Homelander, draped in the American flag, speaking at a rally with nationalist imagery. As the crowd chants "U-S-A," the camera lingers on specific figures, including a pregnant woman and a man in a red hat, who viewers say resembles late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
During the rally, Homelander references "freedom camps" where citizens are imprisoned, uses phrases like "golden dawn" and labels rivals as terrorists.
Kripke told Rolling Stone in 2022 that Homelander has "always been a Trump analogue."
In 2024, Amazon Prime Video added a disclaimer to the Season 4 finale, originally titled "Assassination Run," after the attempted assassination of Trump.
While the show remains a hit for Amazon, many fans claim the writing has become too overt.
One user wrote on X, getting nearly 2 million views, "The Boys is another example of the Hollywood left trying to villainize the right and make them look awful."
A second user wrote that the first 20 minutes of the season included "every liberal buzzword."
Fox News Digital reached out to Amazon for comment.
Cameron Diaz reveals strict house rule that leaves some guests out on the curb
Cameron Diaz doesn't play around when it comes to home etiquette.
Diaz revealed her ultimate "ick" on "The Drew Barrymore Show," admitting she's not cool with anyone who dares track New York City street grime past her front door.
When asked about her "biggest ick," Diaz hesitated before confessing, "Shoes from the street in New York City."
"You cannot," Barrymore agreed. "If you want to go into her house, put a body condom on."
"You have to change your clothes to come into my house in New York," Diaz jokingly warned.
"It's true, and her house has no germs in it because of it," Barrymore added.
"Yeah, I roll around on my floors," Diaz quipped. "It's OK."
Diaz stopped by Barrymore's show to talk about her role in the new film, "Outcome." The 53-year-old actress stars in the film alongside Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill and Matt Bomer.
Diaz first returned to acting with Jamie Foxx in the 2025 film "Back in Action."

The "Charlie's Angels" star revealed what pushed her to jump back into acting after a decade out of the spotlight. Diaz made 38 movies in 20 years. She is known for roles in "My Best Friend's Wedding," "There's Something About Mary," "My Sister's Keeper," "Shrek," "The Other Woman" and many other films.
"I didn't think I was going to make another movie," she admitted in a video shared by "Still Watching Netflix." "I was perfectly happy, you know, just living my life doing other things.
"You know, like day in and day out, not movies. And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx. And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx when he says, ‘Hey, I’ve got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.'"

"If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie," she added.
Despite her return, Diaz revealed nothing could have changed her mind about her decision to leave Hollywood. She stopped acting in 2014 to focus on building a life with husband Benji Madden.
"It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn't care about anything else," the actress said during an appearance at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, according to E! News.
"Nobody's opinion, nobody's success, no one's offer, no one's anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have. I think it really comes to what are you passionate about? For me, it was to build my family."
Paulina Porizkova wows in striking bikini while celebrating her 61st birthday
Paulina Porizkova is celebrating her 61st birthday with a smile.
Earlier this week, the former supermodel uploaded a voice-over video of herself wearing a "super cute" red and white bikini while sharing that, at the height of her career 40 years ago, she was the most insecure she's ever been.
"I will be 61 tomorrow, and I understand that this might sound crazy to you, but 40 years ago, when I was 21 and when I was at the height of my career and supermodeldom — that was when I felt the most insecure," she said in the video.
PAULINA PORIZKOVA STRIPS DOWN TO UNDERWEAR AT 60 TO SHOW ‘IMPERFECTIONS ARE WHAT MAKE US PERFECT’
"I never seemed to be good enough" partly because her own sense of self-worth "was entirely tied to [her] looks."
She also explained that her workout routine has been amplified as summer approaches, "not necessarily so I can look best in this bikini but to feel my best in this sixth decade."

To round out her video, Porizkova said, "You know, actually, who am I kidding? I kicked my workout up, like 10 notches, because I do want to look my best this summer, but not necessarily in a bikini — in a wedding dress."
She closed out the video by blowing a kiss to the camera, flashing her engagement ring. She is engaged to producer Jeff Greenstein.

Porizkova responded, "I was blessed with a healthy small boned and tall body. The rest is pretty hard effing work!"
Caitlin Clark's Fever make several key offseason signings in championship pursuit
The Indiana Fever made a series of offseason moves Saturday to surround superstar Caitlin Clark with talent as the team looks to contend for a WNBA championship this year.
The Fever re-signed key players Lexie Hull and Kelsey Mitchell, while adding veteran Monique Billings from the Golden State Valkyries.
Last season, Mitchell averaged 20.2 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 rebounds in 31.4 minutes per game, and was a 2025 All-WNBA First Team selection and MVP finalist.

Hull, meanwhile has become a fan favorite and part of the Fever core known as "Tres Leches" made up of her, Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
"We saw it on Twitter at some point, and people ran with it," Hull recently told Fox News Digital of the nickname. "It was funny."
Hull has also become a close personal friend of Clark, as Clark helped announce Hull's return to the team on a multi-year deal in a TikTok video on Saturday.
Billings, drafted 15th overall in 2018 by the Atlanta Dream, played there for six seasons before joining the Dallas Wings, Phoenix Mercury, and Valkyries. Known for her elite rebounding, she has consistently been a key rotational player with significant contributions in both the WNBA and overseas.
The players were signed after the Fever were one game shy of reaching the WNBA Finals in 2025 while Clark missed the entire postseason with an injury.
With Clark set to return, Indiana is keeping its core together while adding veteran depth to bolster its roster ahead of the 2026 season.
The Fever have the fourth-best odds to win the WNBA title in 2026 behind the Minnesota Lynx, the defending champion Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty.
Hull previously teased the Fever's offseason plans and championship ambitions in an interview with Fox News Digital.
"I think it's because we made it where we made it last year without some of our key pieces, and with a lot of injuries, and a lot of, like, this adversity. … Our bench was longer than every other bench. We had more people in the training room getting treatment than any other team, and we still almost made it to the Finals," Hull said.
"Tasting that and being so close and feeling like we have so much more to give, I think that just changes our mindset a little bit. And it's not necessarily overconfident, but confident in the fact that we really do have a chance. And we should be playing like every game matters, and we're preparing for that last one.
"I think it's very achievable with what we're going to be able to do with free agency."
Playing for the Fever has also proven to be a tall task off-the-court, as the massive national attention Clark has brought to the team also results in tension among fans and added motivation among opponents, per Hull.
"The most challenging part is there's just so much scrutiny. People have opinions online, and, unfortunately, that's part of the job and the role that we play," Hull told Fox News Digital about what's harder about playing in Indiana since 2024.
"People need to know that everyone's human. We're real people. I think when things get blown out of proportion, when things get really personal and there's personal attacks on people's character, I think that's where it gets over the line."
Hull says she noticed a difference in how opposing players started to perform against her team that year, which she credits to the surge in popularity.
"Because of the fans that we've gotten since 2024, with the rise in, I think, like, popularity with the Indiana Fever being like a name that people know. … And there's a million Fever jerseys and Fever shirts. I think, like, as an opposing team, you'd want to win even more because you feel there's so many people rooting," Hull said.
"It's exciting to have that type of following across the country, and I think, like, for other teams, they have great fans and great people that show up for them, and they want to perform for those people, just like we want to perform for ours."
The Fever's season ended in 107-98 overtime loss to the Las Vegas Aces in Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals last year.
With Clark returning from injury, their core intact and at least one new addition, Indiana is looking to finish the job.

Artemis II crew reflects emotionally on lunar mission after safe return: 'Bonded forever'
A day after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the San Diego coast following a historic 10-day mission around the moon, the Artemis II crew took the stage at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, Texas, emotionally reflecting on their time in space and safe return.
"It’s a special thing to be human, and it’s a special thing to be on planet Earth," commander Reid Wiseman said, adding he and his three crew mates are now "bonded forever" before they all hugged.
"Welcome home Artemis II," NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said before introducing crew members Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen.
FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT SAYS ARTEMIS II MISSION WAS ‘INCREDIBLE’
"There is no doubt there is a price to pay when it comes to exploring the cosmos, but there is also a return, a return in the jobs that creates the technologies that improve life here on earth and the inspiration that sparks all those who choose to follow and to people all around the world who look up and dream about what is possible. The long wait is over," Isaacman said.
"After a brief 53-year intermission, the show goes on, and NASA is back in the business of sending astronauts to the moon and bringing them home safely."
Wiseman, who spoke first, joked he had "absolutely no idea what to say."
"Twenty-four hours ago, the Earth was that big out the window, and we were doing Mach 39, and here we are back at Ellington at home," he said.
Glover said he still hadn’t processed everything, thanking God "because, even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through, the gratitude of seeing what we saw doing what we did and being with who I was with, it's too big to just be in one body."
Koch reflected that the "start and the end" of the mission were "human moments on Earth."
"Ten days ago, this journey started with our mission manager, Sean Duvall, knocking on my door in crew quarters and whispering, ‘Christina, We're go for launch. Get up!’ And it ended last night when my nurse on the ship put me to bed and said, ‘Ma'am, can I get a hug?’"
She also said she had a new understanding of the meaning of the word "crew" since their mission.
"A crew is people or, you know, a group that is in it all the time, no matter what that is, stroking together every minute with the same purpose that is willing to sacrifice silently for each other," she said.
"That gives grace, that holds accountable. A crew has the same cares and the same needs, and a crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked. So, when we saw tiny Earth, people asked our crew what impressions we had, and, honestly, what struck me wasn't necessarily just Earth. It was all the blackness around it."
She also now thinks of Earth as a "lifeboat" in a universe of blackness.
"Planet Earth, you are a crew," she added.
Hansen expressed his gratitude to all the people who supported the crew and its mission.
"And I don't think people will really ever fully comprehend how well supported and trained we were. It is almost unbelievable," Hanson said.

"What you saw was a group of people who loved contributing, having meaningful contribution and extracting joy out of that," Hanson added with his arms around his crew members.
"I would suggest to you that when you look up here, you're not looking at us. We are a mirror reflecting you. And if you like what you see, then just look a little deeper. This is you."
Coachella band drops out after lead singer suffers 'acute brain injury,' fractured neck
A punk band dropped out of Coachella after its lead singer fractured her neck and suffered an "acute brain injury."
The Lambrini Girls revealed they would not be performing days before they were set to take the stage at the annual music and arts festival in Indio, California.
"We have to pull out of Coachella and reschedule our whole American headline tour," the band, headed by Phoebe Lunny, shared on Instagram. "long story short: I fractured my neck and have an acute brain injury."
Lunny said the injury happened while she was in Australia and originally was misdiagnosed, resulting in late treatment. According to her doctor, Lunny is not allowed to fly or perform for six weeks.

"We have received quite a lot of messages re coachella [sic], we are so gutted guys," Lunny wrote. "We want to be there so badly. If it was a broken leg, I would do a dave grohl [sic] and play it. This isn't something we are taking lightly and we are really sad. We hope and pray there is some universe we get to play next year instead.
"Because it is my neck and brain, our hands are tied for now, but I'm lucky and expect a speedy recovery thank f--- lol," she said. "Thank you for always showing up for us."

The band shared rescheduled dates for the American tour, pushing most to June and September.
"To all American ticket holders: it's dark times. especially in the states. There are so many good folks who are carving out community and lifting each other up in the face of fascism," the band also said in the statement. "Making space for subversion and resistance is at the core of what this band is about.
"Seeing people of all ages, genders and backgrounds come together to mosh, lift each other up, chant, cry, scream in both parts joyful and angry, is my greatest joy."
Coachella, in its 25th edition this year, has been an annual mainstay of internet culture.
Both weekends of the festival are sold out, but global audiences can view a livestream on YouTube to see performances from headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, along with dozens of other artists.

Malnourished boy found locked in father's van for more than a year unable to walk, hadn't showered since 2024
A malnourished 9-year-old boy was found lying in the fetal position in his father’s utility van in eastern France this week after allegedly being locked in the vehicle two years ago.
The boy, who was unable to walk after sitting for so long, was discovered Monday after a neighbor heard the "sounds of a child" coming from the van, local prosecutor Nicolas Heitz said Saturday.
Officers in the village of Hagenbach, near the border with Switzerland and Germany, found the boy "lying in a fetal position, naked, covered by a blanket on top of a mound of trash and near excrement" after forcing the van open, Heitz said.
The boy told authorities he hadn’t showered since 2024.
The boy’s father was charged with kidnapping. He claimed to police that he had locked his son in the van in November 2024 to "protect" him from his partner who wanted to send him to a psychiatric hospital, according to the prosecutor.
But the prosecutor said there was no medical record of the boy having psychiatric problems, and he had gotten good grades in school.
When the boy disappeared, his teachers were told he had transferred to another school.
The man’s partner, who denied knowing the boy was locked in the van, has also been charged, including for failure to help a minor in danger.
The boys’ family and friends told police they believed the boy was in a psychiatric hospital.
The boy’s 12-year-old sister and the 10-year-old daughter of the man’s partner are under the care of social services.
The boy has been taken to a hospital.
He told authorities he thought his father had no choice but to lock him in the van and that he’d had "big difficulties" with his father’s partner.

Cruise passengers debate BBQ versus chicken and waffles as new free lunch menu debuts
Dining on one popular cruise ship is getting a comfort food shakeup, and passengers are divided over the change.
Carnival Cruise Line is testing a new free lunch menu, Chicken, Waffles & Waves, on select ships, offering a mix of fried chicken, waffles and classic barbecue in one location, according to Cruise Hive and other reports.
The new venue has been spotted on several Conquest-class ships, including Carnival Freedom, Liberty, Glory and Valor.
It replaces a previous barbecue-focused station, expanding the menu to include a broader range of comfort food options, though some BBQ will still be available.
CRUISE PASSENGERS COMPLAINED ABOUT CABIN PROBLEM, NOW SHIPS ARE MAKING A BIG CHANGE
"We are testing some new food options," Carnival brand ambassador John Heald said in a Facebook post this week. "Some very, very exciting new food options."
He also noted the testing extends beyond lunch to new dinner menus, pointing to Carnival Liberty as one ship featuring the lunch offerings on Deck 10.
As the name suggests, the lunch menu centers on chicken and waffles, though the items are served separately, allowing guests to mix and match. Options include classic fried chicken, spicy varieties and hot honey-glazed versions, along with chicken tenders in flavors like buffalo and Korean-style sauce.
MAJOR CRUISE LINE CANCELS PLANNED SAILINGS, UPENDING VACATIONS: 'DEFINITELY A DISAPPOINTMENT'
On the barbecue side, guests can choose from slow-cooked pork butt or beef brisket paired with sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw and potato salad.
The concept blends elements of Carnival’s existing food partnerships, including Guy Fieri’s Pig & Anchor BBQ and Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken, though it is not officially tied to either brand.
The new venue is free to guests, as are many of Carnival’s other casual dining options, which is a key selling point for budget-conscious travelers.
POPULAR CRUISE LINE SELLING TREE HOUSE SUITE FOR JAW-DROPPING PRICE: 'RATHER BUY A HOUSE'
But early reactions suggest the concept is a work in progress.
In Reddit threads, some passengers praised the variety and convenience, noting short lines and easy access compared to busier buffet areas. Others, however, say the menu focuses too much on fried food with calls for healthier alternatives.
"I can get deep fat fried food on land," one woman commented on Heald's post. "Can’t they try something that isn’t cooked in a vat of oil? Something Mediterranean would be lovely," she added.

Others who had tried the new options since the rollout were less positive.
"I did not like the chicken," one person wrote on Reddi. "Over cooked and dry." Someone else said the waffles could be crispier.
But longtime Carnival cruisers were already split on the old BBQ, with some calling it tasty and others saying it was "hit or miss" or even "terrible."

Some Reddit users suggested the new chicken-and-waffles option could be an upgrade from the old BBQ setup, especially if it delivers a Shaq’s Big Chicken-style experience.
Others are looking forward to trying it.
"That sounds like a glorious brunch spot," one Redditor said.
The cruise line has taken a similar approach with other quick concepts, including its Bagels at Sea breakfast option, which began as a trial and has since expanded to more ships. Industry insiders say the move reflects a growing emphasis on fast, casual dining that better fits modern travel habits.
A recent Cruise Critic report noted, "The days of buffet- and main-dining-room-only dining are long gone."

Shane Lowry makes hole-in-one at Masters to suddenly get himself in contention for green jacket
The drinks are on Shane Lowry in Augusta.
The Irishman recorded a hole-in-one on the sixth hole at Augusta National on Saturday, putting patrons into a frenzy.
It was the seventh-ever ace at the sixth hole and Lowry's second hole-in-one at the Masters. He also recorded an ace on the 16th hole in 2016.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
He is now the only player in golf history to have two aces at Augusta National.
Any Masters ace is memorable, but this one might have some extra significance since Lowry shot up the leaderboard and moved into a tie for second at 8 under par.
Once Lowry hit the hole-in-one, he was four shots back of Rory McIlroy, who entered the day six shots ahead of the field, good for the largest 36-hole lead in tournament history.
However, he bogeyed the first hole while Patrick Reed birdied his first three holes, suddenly cutting McIlroy's lead to two. But Reed bogeyed the fourth hole, and McIlroy birdied the third for the two-shot swing.
Lowry, 39, is looking for his second career major, having also won the Open Championship in 2019 at Royal Portrush.
Lowry hit the cup-retaining putt at the Ryder Cup last year at Bethpage after spending most of the weekend partnered with McIlroy.

Swalwell faces expulsion effort following bombshell assault allegations
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is moving to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., from Congress following reports of alleged sexual misconduct and assault, arguing that he has no place in the House.
Luna joined "Saturday in America" to announce the move, calling for accountability for members of Congress. She said it would be "unacceptable" for Swalwell to end his gubernatorial bid while still getting to remain in office.
Swalwell was accused by a former staffer of sexual assault while she was intoxicated. The San Francisco Chronicle first broke the story of the anonymous ex-staffer, and three additional women have since spoken to CNN with allegations of misconduct.
Luna argues Swalwell should not remain in office while facing the accusations and plans to bring a disciplinary motion next week.
"If Democrats want to protect this type of garbage, I wouldn't recommend it, but they're [going to] be put on the board for that," Luna said, adding she doesn’t believe he should be paid by the taxpayers while the scandal plays out.
The congresswoman called on the alleged victims to come to her office, saying they "deserve a platform" and that transparency is needed from lawmakers.
"I hate having to be kind of the hall monitor of Congress, if you will, but it’s gotten really bad," Luna said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Swalwell's congressional office, as well as his gubernatorial campaign, for comment on Luna's remarks.
"I'm not [going to] serve with these sexual deviants. That's not what Congress is all about. And I think that we need to focus on the business of the American people, and it doesn't include this stuff," she later added.
Swalwell is a candidate for governor of California but has since faced calls to drop out, including from within his own party. He has pledged to fight the allegations against him.
"A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are flat-out false," Swalwell said in a video posted Friday.
"They are absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Saturday, "As we continue to learn more, these allegations from multiple sources are deeply troubling and must be taken seriously."
Meanwhile, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York City said it was investigating allegations against Swalwell.
"We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373," an office spokesperson said. "Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators, and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner."
