David Spade slams Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass over ‘terrifying’ Hollywood downfall
David Spade is calling out California's leadership for the collapse of Hollywood.
During a recent episode of his podcast, "Fly on the Wall," which he co-hosts with Dana Carvey, the 61-year-old actor and comedian said "the Hollywood industry is dying" and that he's "just trying to put the blame somewhere."
"Dude, I'm so old," he said. "I was on the lot at, uh, CBS Radford when we were doing 'Just Shoot Me'... And also they were doing 'Seinfeld,' and I'd see him on his bike. It was the greatest lot. Of course, just filed for bankruptcy, the lot. Terrifying in L.A. Thanks, [LA Mayor] Karen Bass. Thanks, [Gov.] Gavin [Newsom]."
Carvey agreed that "the Hollywood studio system is dying," and insisted changes need to be made in order to revive it.

"The amount of productions is dying, and so they have to do something so more production comes back, and that starts with negotiating with the union and also subsidizing the industry tax breaks to compete with Romania," Carvey said.
Spade and Carvey are not the only celebrities concerned with the current state of Hollywood and the growing trend of producing movies and TV shows not only in other states, but also in other countries.
Stars Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson were named special ambassadors to Hollywood by President Donald Trump in January 2025, with the hope of bringing the city "BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!" according to Trump's post on Truth Social at the time.
In an interview with Variety in May 2025, Voight spoke about the importance of bringing these jobs back to California, and showed his support for Trump's decision to place 100% tariffs on filming overseas.

"It’s come to a point where we really do need help, and thank God the president cares about Hollywood and movies," Voight said. "He has a great love for Hollywood in that way. We’ve got to roll up our sleeves here. We can’t let it go down the drain like Detroit."
When speaking to the outlet, Voight explained that "every studio has a lot of smart people" who have made use of the many benefits "and the gifts that are being given out throughout the world to lure people to different countries."
He explained that rather than just "level[ing] the playing field," Hollywood "need[s] to be competitive" in order to get people back.
"This shouldn’t be political," Voight added. "I don’t know the political identities of the people we’ve talked to. We’ve talked to a lot of people here. I don’t distinguish them on their party affiliation. And If we can come up with [a plan that can be executed], he’ll back us. He wants us to be the Hollywood of old. If we all come together, I believe we have a bright future."

In a previous statement to Fox News Digital, Voight said he has been in the business long enough to see the "slow deterioration" of Hollywood through the years.
"I’m old enough to have touched some years of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and I’ve seen its slow deterioration since," he said. "Today, we are in pretty bad shape. Very few films are made here now, but we are fortunate to have an incoming President, who wants to restore Hollywood to its former glory, and with his help, I feel we can get done."
Rob Lowe rips 'Disneyfication' of young Hollywood: 'No resemblance to anything truthful'
Rob Lowe is sounding off on what he sees as a growing problem in Hollywood.
During a candid conversation on his podcast "Literally! With Rob Lowe," the actor took aim at what he described as a "trend" shaping the next generation of performers, arguing that many young actors lack authenticity on screen.
The discussion, featuring comedian and actor Kevin Nealon, began with observations about modern acting styles, with Nealon noting that certain delivery patterns and techniques appear increasingly common.
ROB LOWE RECALLS FILMING HIS 'ABOUT LAST NIGHT' SEX SCENES WITH DEMI MOORE: IT’S 'VERY BORING'
"I'm sure you watch actors and you see a lot of the tricks they're doing. I don't know if they're tricks, but it's sometimes, it's the cadence of the delivery. And you say, ‘okay, he stopped there.’ And then you continue that thought, and then you start seeing that more and more, and you think, well, ‘maybe that's a trend.’ That's a trend with acting now, you know?"
Lowe didn’t hesitate to agree — and took the critique a step further.
"There's definitely an acting trend going on right now."
"Oh yeah. Young actors. And it's — how do I put this? … If it's a binary choice, it's a good thing, but I don't love it. And I think it's a reaction to the Disneyfication of acting, where all these kids have come up through all the tentacles of The CW and Disney and all of those types of young people shows. Like, what's the one… like ‘Hannah Montana’s’ of the world — all that stuff."
KATE BECKINSALE BLASTS ‘DISGUSTING’ NEPO BABY NARRATIVE FOR FUELING BULLYING OF CELEBRITY CHILDREN
For Lowe, the issue goes beyond technique in Hollywood.
"That behavior on screen is not recognizable as anything any human beings have ever done before … You watch those shows and I don't know what they're doing, but … there's no resemblance to anything truthful. And what it is clearly, is young kids who are new and don't know — God bless them — and they're being directed by hacks."

The pointed critique puts a spotlight on the pipeline feeding Hollywood’s next wave of stars — particularly those coming out of networks like Disney and The CW – shows in the mold of "Hannah Montana."
DENNIS QUAID SLAMS EXTREME LEFT SHIFT IN HOLLYWOOD: 'WHAT USED TO BE, YOU CAN'T BE ANYMORE'
The "Brat Pack," who came of age in the 1980s with movies like "St. Elmo’s Fire," "The Breakfast Club," "About Last Night…," "Sixteen Candles" and "Pretty in Pink," defined a generation’s teen angst and became a pop culture touchstone.
Lowe rose to fame as a child star involved in Hollywood’s "Brat Pack."
Members include Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and Jon Cryer, among others.
However, which actors fit into the group has not always been clear.
Lowe previously said that by the time he finished high school, he had landed a major film role in "The Outsiders," forcing him to choose between college and acting.

Last September, Lowe gave simple advice to his son John when he told him he wanted to be an actor.
He told Fox News Digital his advice to his son was to "just be a content creator." John has previously sold a new show to Apple TV+.
"And the irony is, now that's really, I'm so proud of him creating this new show, and that's the thing I think today, as opposed to when I came up, there's no excuse to not make your own stuff today," Lowe said.
He added, "It's so much easier to do, and I'm glad he's doing that. That was really the big piece of advice I gave him."
Disney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Prosecutors say they found 'drug transactions' after Alabama player's arrest, searched his trash: report
Alabama guard Aden Holloway was arrested Monday for possession of marijuana and allegedly had 2.1 pounds in his apartment.
Prosecutors said they found evidence of "drug transactions" on his phone, according to ESPN,
"Holloway had smaller denominations in his possession, which is indicative of narcotic sales. The marijuana was in separate packing, from plastic bags to prepackaged marijuana to vacuum sealed bags," a complaint said, via ESPN.

The complaint added that "people [texted] that they were going to get up with him after the season."
According to ESPN, police found $400 that was located in a jacket during a search of his home. The search, which included an inspection of Holloway's trash, came after police received "complaints," ESPN said, citing the search warrant.
However, Holloway's attorney told ESPN the search was unconstitutional, and he would fight to ensure that prosecutors cannot use what they found in the legal proceedings.
Holloway, 21, was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. He was transported to the Tuscaloosa County Jail Monday at 9:48 a.m. and later released at 10:45 a.m. His bond was set at $5,000.
Holloway was a key piece of Alabama’s success this season, averaging 16.8 points per game as the team’s second-leading scorer. In his last game, an SEC Tournament quarterfinal loss to Ole Miss, he dropped 18 points in the 80-79 defeat.
No. 4 Alabama moved on to the second round of March Madness without one of its best players after defeating No. 13 Hofstra Friday. They will face No. 4 Texas Tech on Sunday for a trip to the Sweet 16.
VCU COACH PRAISES STUDENT JOURNALISTS AFTER HISTORIC MARCH MADNESS COMEBACK: 'BEST IN THE COUNTRY'
But head coach Nate Oats hinted it was unlikely Holloway would return to the team for the second weekend if they get there.
The Crimson Tide entered the tournament as one of the more successful squads of late, winning nine of 11 games before the tournament.
It’s worth noting that, as of June 2024, the NCAA Division I Council removed marijuana from its banned substances list for championships and postseason football.
Holloway is in his third season with the Crimson Tide, returning to the starting role he had during his freshman year in the 2023-24 campaign.
Holloway shot 48.1% from the field, including 43.8% from 3-point territory, while dishing out 3.8 assists and grabbing 2.8 rebounds per game.

FDNY turns to March Madness to deliver warning on illegal hydrant parking in New York
March Madness is in full swing.
No. 9 TCU pulled off one of this year’s first upsets, outlasting No. 8 Ohio State in the first round Thursday. The ninth seed taking down the eighth seed became an early theme in this year's NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, with all four No. 9 seeds defeating their No. 8 opponents.
But as fans keep a close eye on the college basketball action, the New York City Fire Department shared a reminder about fire hydrant protocol and safety amid the excitement.

"It's March Madness — and blocking shots is part of the game. But blocking a fire hydrant? That's never OK," the fire department wrote on X.
MARCH MADNESS PERFECT BRACKET COUNT DROPS TO JUST OVER 200 OUT OF 36 MILLION AFTER OPENING ROUND
The FDNY added that vehicles parked at fire hydrants can cause delays in critical moments.
"Parking on fire hydrants is ILLEGAL in New York City and can delay first responders when seconds matter most. Keep hydrants clear so FDNY members can quickly get water on a fire. Don't park on fire hydrants."
A campaign spotlighting another New York City department continues to strengthen ties to the sports world. The "Thank You, NYPD" movement is an ongoing effort to show appreciation for officers.
The campaign has encouraged residents to upload videos expressing appreciation for the department. St. John’s head coach Rick Pitino was among those who responded, thanking those he said have helped maintain a safe city environment.
"I want to give a sincere thanks to the NYPD officers who do such an incredible job to keep our city safe," Pitino said Friday in a video posted to Madison Square Garden’s Instagram account. "Thank you so much."
Pitino’s show of gratitude came just hours before the Red Storm’s 79-53 win over Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday.

Florida woman seen on video allegedly attacking pregnant driver, elderly bystander and biting police officer
A Florida woman was arrested after she was caught on video allegedly punching a pregnant woman in the face, attacking an older woman who attempted to help, and biting a police officer while being placed under arrest.
Mandolyn Ann Shaffer-Brockwell, 37, of Orlando, is charged with battery of a person 65 years or older, aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, burglary of a conveyance with assault/battery, and resisting an officer with violence, FOX 35 Orlando reported.
The incident allegedly stemmed from an apparent Feb. 23 road rage dispute near the Mall of Millenia, according to the Orlando Police Department.
The pregnant woman told authorities Shaffer-Brockwell "kept stopping her vehicle short distances in front of her," and she honked and tried to change lanes to get away from her, according to the report.
Footage released by the department appeared to show Shaffer-Brockwell getting out of her vehicle, running toward the pregnant woman's car, jumping on the hood, and then forcefully opening the driver's side door and allegedly hitting and punching the woman in the face.
The woman told police she had a child in the car during the incident.
"Honk at me again, (expletive)," Shaffer-Brockwell allegedly told the pregnant woman.
SPRING BREAKERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA VICIOUSLY ATTACKING MAN IN OVERNIGHT STREET BRAWL
During the incident, an elderly woman who witnessed the fight got out of her car to help, according to the report.
"Get back in your (expletive) car," Shaffer-Brockwell allegedly told her before scratching and hitting the elderly woman in the face.
Police shared a photo of the elderly woman's face, with apparent bruising and scratches below one of her eyes.
One of the victims provided a description of Shaffer-Brockwell and her vehicle, and an officer quickly located her.
However, when the officer attempted to detain her, she refused to comply and violently resisted, according to the department.
Shaffer-Brockwell could be heard on video repeatedly cursing at the officer before biting his wrist while trying to avoid being handcuffed.
"Don't bite me," the officer said.
"Get the f--- off of me," Shaffer-Brockwell shouted back.
She was eventually arrested and taken into custody.
Nick Shirley says doxxers are hampering his investigations, has concerns about his own security
Independent journalist Nick Shirley claimed he can no longer investigate in major cities without a professional security detail amid escalating threats and doxxing.
Shirley gained attention for exposing what he says was fraud in Minnesota. He has since shifted his focus to California, but described the work as becoming more dangerous.
"I'll go to a city, I'll go be out filming, someone will take a photo — some activists, some left-wing activists will then take a photo, put me in a Reddit group chat," Shirley said on "Saturday in America."
Shirley said activists are spreading his location to disrupt his videos and inquiries into fraud. He recalled that in Baltimore and in California, critics shared his location with messages like, "Run Nick Shirley out," or, "If you see Nick Shirley, it’s on site."

ALMOST 200 HOUSE DEMS VOTE AGAINST DEPORTING PEOPLE WHO COMMIT WELFARE FRAUD
NICK SHIRLEY ALLEGES POTENTIAL VOTER FRAUD LOOPHOLE IN CALIFORNIA THAT COULD ENABLE ILLEGALS TO VOTE
In his latest videos, Shirley and his team visited several locations in California where he said daycare and hospice fraud was occurring. His work drew pushback from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office, which posted a fictionalized photo of Shirley with cameras asking to see children.
Shirley responded on X: "You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud."
"People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them," he added in the March 16 post.
Shirley testified in January before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance. The hearing focused on fraud allegations in Minnesota.
Shirley noted on Fox News how faith has motivated him in his investigations.
"More so than anything, it's kept me on the straight-and-narrow, and it's kept me on a good path to be able to go do what I want to do," he said.
Stephen A Smith blasts Trump for Army-Navy executive order: 'Who the hell does he think he is?'
President Donald Trump signed the "Preserving America’s Game" executive order on Friday, which promises to keep the annual Army-Navy game a standalone event during the college football season.
Trump signed the order during the Midshipmen’s visit to the White House on Friday to celebrate their Commander-in-Chief's Trophy victory, which is given to either Army, Navy or Air Force if one of the teams goes 2-0 against the other opponents during the season.
However, Stephen A. Smith was not fond of the move.

"It’s stuff like this from the President of the United States that pisses me off. And he’s sticking his nose in places that I don’t believe the President of the United States should be sticking their nose in," Smith said during his Friday afternoon SiriusXM show on Mad Dog Sports Radio, via Awful Announcing.
"Who the hell does this man think he is? Every single time I try to be fair and fair-minded to this president, he pulls some BS like this. It really pisses me off. It really pisses me off. Who the hell does he think he is? If the Army-Navy game is on NBC, FOX and CBS should be excluded from having its own content on its networks? Because the president issued some executive order that he doesn’t want anything competing with Army-Navy, that he wants the focus of the sports world on Army-Navy. Well, what if they don’t want that? What if they don’t want to watch Army-Navy? Who the hell is he to tell the broadcast world, ‘Nah, not at this time.’
"Who the hell does he think he is?! It’s that kinda BS that’s got our country in a tizzy right now. That right there. Because you overstepping your damn bounds. Don’t you got enough things to be focused on? Now you trying to tell us what damn football games we should watch?! Who the hell does he think he is?!"
FLORIDA STATE KICKER ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT DURING SPRING BREAK
With the current College Football Playoff schedule, the Army-Navy game currently sits between conference championship weekend and the first weekend of the 12-team playoff. However, potential expansion could lead to earlier games. The Army-Navy game is set to be broadcast on CBS until 2038.
Navy defeated Army in a thrilling 17-16 victory to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy in December during a historic season that saw the program finish 11-2, marking the team’s first back-to-back 10-win seasons in program history.
"The annual Army-Navy game is truly one of the most special occasions in all of sports, but in recent years, the College Football Playoff expansion has encroached on this sacred four-hour time slot traditionally reserved for Army-Navy," the president said during his speech Friday. "I'm going to sign an executive order to ensure that the second Saturday in December is preserved exclusively. Nobody's playing football – not Ohio State against Notre Dame, not LSU against Alabama – nobody's going to play football for four hours during that very special time of the year in December. It's preserved forever for the Army-Navy game."
Earlier this month, Trump held a roundtable to try to combat the effects of NIL in college sports.
Trump joked that the ramifications of signing the executive order might result in a lawsuit.
"Of course, we'll probably get sued at some point. We will get sued, but we win those suits, and we'll win this one."
Trump first signaled his intentions to sign the executive order in a Truth Social post in January, saying at the time, "This incredible Tradition is now at risk of being pushed aside by more College Playoff Games, and Big TV Money. NOT ANYMORE!"

UCF center scores on own basket in crushing blunder during team's first round loss to UCLA
In March Madness, it often comes down to the little things, but for UCF center John Bol, his blunder was not a little thing: he scored on his own basket.
In the first half of No. 7 UCLA’s 75-71 win over No. 10 UCF on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center, Bol tapped a rebound into his own basket.
With just under two minutes left in the first half and the shot clock winding down, UCLA guard Donovan Dent shot a desperation 3-pointer. Bol, instead of corralling Dent’s miss and turning the other way, tapped the ball into his basket to increase UCLA’s lead to 35-21.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
The points were not credited to a UCLA player.
It was the beginning of a rough night for Bol, who went 0-5 from the free throw line with an unorthodox free-throw motion. The 7-foot-2 center scored two points on the night, contributing as many points to his own team as he did to the other team.
Bol’s own basket was not the only odd event during the game, as UCLA guard Skyy Clark also lost a tooth during the game.
UCF made it close late, erasing a double-digit deficit from the first half, but was not able to cap off the comeback, adding more significance to Bol’s own basket.
Jordan Burks led UCF in the loss with 22 points and six rebounds. Jamichael Stillwell (10 points), Themus Fulks (10 points) and Riley Kugel (13 points) were the only other players to score in double figures in the loss.
Eric Dailey Jr. led the Bruins with 20 points and five rebounds, while Trent Perry and Xavier Booker each had 15 points in the win.
UCLA will play No. 2 seed UConn in the Round of 32 on Sunday at 8:45 p.m. ET.

Chuck Norris' children share heartfelt tributes after his sudden death at 86
Chuck Norris' family members are paying tribute to the late actor on social media following his death on Thursday, March 19, at the age of 86.
The martial arts legend's twins, Dakota and Danilee, each posted their own heartfelt tributes on Instagram, featuring photos of them with their father throughout the years.
Dakota shared a series of black-and-white photos of him with Norris, including one of the two of them sitting side-by-side when he was a kid, taken from behind, writing, "It’s hard to find the right words for this, but I’ll do my best."
"You’ve been the man I looked up to my whole life," he wrote in his caption. "Your generosity, your kindness, your courage, your integrity, your strength, your discipline, and your faith in the Lord were just a handful of things I always admired about you. You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people."
CHUCK NORRIS CREDITED MOTHER'S PRAYERS FOR SAVING HIM FROM 'LOSING MY SOUL TO HOLLYWOOD'
He then called the "Walker, Texas Ranger" star "the greatest father God could have ever given me and the finest man I’ve ever known," and credited him for always being there for him and making "sure I knew how much you loved me."
"Honest to God, I don’t think there was a single day that went by where you didn’t say it," he added. "I’m so proud to be your son. The memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the constant laughs we shared will stay with me for the rest of my life."
Dakota concluded his tribute by thanking his father for "everything you gave to our family and for the example" he set for them, adding he hopes to "live a life that honors you and makes you proud."
"I love you, Dad. I’ll miss you forever," he wrote.
His twin, Danilee, shared her own tribute on social media, featuring a series of photos of her and her dad over the years.
The post included pictures of Norris carrying her as a baby, the two of them sitting next to each other on the beach, one of her asleep on his lap as an adult and another of her asleep on his lap as a baby. She started the post by stating "Grief is a good enough word to describe" what she is feeling and that "losing a parent is something that you are never prepared for."
"Before I take the much needed time for myself and my family, I wanted to dedicate this post to my sweet father and acknowledge the amazing man he is," she wrote. "My dad was my protector. The moment I was born and as soon as he took me in his arms, I’ve been his little girl. That was something I would always acknowledge even when I was too big to be cradled properly."
She described her father as someone who "loved so deeply and cared for every single person in his life with so much tenderness," saying that while "he may have a warrior exterior, but his heart was so full of love."
"To say how thankful I am for him being my dad is an understatement," she added. "He has been my safe person these past 24 years and I am constantly filled with gratitude for how much wisdom and love he has bestowed me and my brother. I will forever carry on his legacy and shower others in that compassion that he so frequently showed."

She continued: "There is so much I want to say with 24 years worth of memories I could write about, but I will go ahead and at least say this – I could not have asked the Lord for a more amazing father. I thank You, Lord, for blessing me with a father who took every opportunity to show me that he wanted to give us a good life."
Danilee then thanked her father "for supporting me in all my passions and for pushing me to not shy away from the impossible," and for the "constant compassion" and love he showed her which "made me learn to love myself."
She concluded her post by writing, "I promise I will always and forever try to make you proud even if you already reminded me every day that it was impossible not to. I love you forever."

"It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the post reads.
"To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives."
Tigers top prospect goes viral for unfiltered reaction to Pirates' Seth Hernandez's 102 mph heater
Detroit Tigers top prospect Max Clark had a very honest reaction after seeing a 102.4 mph fastball on the first pitch of the game.
Clark was the leadoff batter for the Tigers in their 8-7 loss to the Pirates in their Spring Breakout game and was up against Pittsburgh's own top prospect, Seth Hernandez. Hernandez’s first pitch was a 102.4 mph fastball above the zone, and it got Clark’s attention.
"What the f---," Clark could be seen saying after the pitch went by him.

Clark, 21, ended up walking in the at-bat. Hernandez ended up inducing an inning-ending ground ball double play to conclude his lone inning of the game.
The game between the Tigers and Pirates was part of MLB’s Spring Breakout, which is an annual four-day event with exhibition games between the top prospects from all of MLB’s teams during spring training.
FORMER MLB OUTFIELDER LARRY STAHL, BEST KNOWN FOR SPOILING A PERFECT GAME, DEAD AT 84
Clark is the No. 2 overall prospect in the Tigers farm system, according to MLB.com. Last season at High-A and Double-A, Clark hit .271 with 14 home runs and 67 RBI, and could make his big league debut this season, where he will see a lot of high-octane heat like Hernandez’s.
Hernandez, 19, was drafted by the No. 6 overall pick by the Pirates in last year’s draft. Hernandez already has a legitimate four-pitch mix and will begin his season in rookie ball.
The Pirates organization hopes that Hernandez, alongside top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler, will slot in behind National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes atop their rotation for years to come.
