Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Mean Tweets segment is admittedly getting a little weary (no thanks to others ripping it off), but its tenth edition combined a pretty staggering cadre of actors with some wonderfully inventive burns.

“Kate Hudson is a dead eyed trash bag that smells like low tide,” the actress can’t help but laugh, while Hugh Grant is told that “Watching Hugh Grant and his stutteringly pathetic ‘charm’ is about as appealing to me as closing my scrotum in a DVD case.”

There’s also the stunningly apt: “Why does Ryan Gosling always look like he’s trying to squeeze a fart out without it making any noise?” and brutally succinct: “Greg Kinear stars in holy f**k who gives a s**t. Coming soon.”

One Twitter user speculates that with Paul Rudd, “You know he just sits at home with his wife having a bland spaghetti dinner talking about his day” and Kiefer Sutherland closes the segment by flipping the bird at: “I keep forgetting Kiefer Sutherland isn’t dead.”

It’s probably healthy for celebrities to get this dose of humility, long may it continue.
