Porter

This poignant drama is practically a remake of Kramer vs Kramer from 1979 – though this time with two divorcing New York-based dads fighting for custody of their kid instead of K2’s traditional pairing of a husband and wife. And like the older Dustin Hoffman-Meryl Streep vehicle, Our Son is a bit soapy and middlebrow, but impeccably performed all-round, led by a trio of terrific turns from Luke Evans and Billy Porter as the two fathers, with winning, winsome support from Christopher Woodley as Owen, their eight-year-old…

Billy Porter is known for going big. The 54-year-old actor and singer routinely stole scenes as the drag ball emcee Pray Tell in FX’s drama Pose, a role that won him an Emmy. In Amazon’s 2021 update of Cinderella, he turned the fairy godmother into a fabulous, tough-talking fairy “godmuvva”, as he puts it. But his latest role, in the Bill Oliver-directed relationship drama Our Son, takes a different tack: as Gabriel, a relatively meek stay-at-home dad divorcing his husband, Nicky, (Luke Evans), Porter is required to play…

Donald Trump didn’t write Katie Porter’s requiem post on social media. But throw in a few misspellings and capitalized letters, and he very well could have.“Because of you, we had the establishment running scared,” she told supporters of her unsuccessful U.S. Senate bid in a statement Wednesday night on X. This, Porter continued, despite her being massively outspent on TV and facing an “onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election.”That word — rig — suggesting there was something illicit, fishy or not…

Donald Trump cruised through Super Tuesday, as expected — but the night’s single biggest race may have been the U.S. Senate primary in California. It’s the first time in decades the seat in question has been seriously contested; Dianne Feinstein held it from 1992 until she died last September. She announced a few months earlier that she wouldn’t be seeking reelection, and the race to replace her has been raging ever since. It effectively ended on Tuesday, with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Republican Steve…

Californians on Tuesday cast ballots to whittle down the state’s most competitive Senate race in a generation, selecting the two candidates who will face off in November to represent the Golden State in Washington. Democratic Rep. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank, Rep. Katie Porter of Irvine and Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland have been campaigning for more than a year to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who had represented California in the Senate since 1992. The top Republican challenger, Steve Garvey, a former Dodgers…

Irvine Rep. Katie Porter has repeatedly attacked her top Democratic rival in California’s 2024 Senate race, Burbank Rep. Adam B. Schiff, for accepting campaign contributions from oil, pharmaceutical, financial and other influential special interests trying to sway federal policy in Washington.She prided herself on not taking donations from corporate political action committees, unlike Schiff, who along with Republican former baseball All-Star Steve Garvey is leading in the polls as Tuesday’s primary election fast…

Katie Porter — the California representative famous for skewering corporate CEOs in congressional hearings — is sick of the “glacial” pace of the U.S. Senate and is brimming with plans to shake up the “stale” institution. If she can get elected. The Golden State’s primary election wraps up Tuesday, March 5. And Porter stands out in the crowded field by making combating climate change a key component of her closing argument. Her plan calls for new investment in climate resilience and clean technology, as well an end…

YouTube restored an attack ad against Katie Porter that’s running ad nauseam for users in California right now after it was pulled Sunday for violating the video-sharing site’s policies. The ad, purchased by a political action committee called Fairshake, is being bankrolled by several prominent names in the world of crypto. The weird part? It’s not clear why the ad was briefly banned. Crypto Exchanges Restrict Withdrawals“Who is Katie Porter? A fake and an accomplished actor,” the narrator of the ad claims. “That’s from…

There’s a comforting, soothing aspect to both food and music. When I’m offering food to somebody to nourish them or when I’m offering music to nourish their spirit or their soul, I realise I’m doing the same thing.I cooked super-early; I was cooking at six. We were cooking dangerous food, too. My first was french fries: hot grease, flame and a kid on a chair. Crazy, but yeah, we did it and it was fun.When I think of childhood memories I’m like, “Oh, wow, I was doing everything these farm-to-table chefs are doing!” When we…
