Video: Jonah Hill cancels all interviews after French comic Ornella Fleury humiliates him


Jonah Hill has reportedly cancelled all promotional appearances in France after being mocked on satirical chat show Le Grand Journal, claim BFMTV.

The Hollywood actor, happy to be the butt of jokes in many of his movies, found real-life mockery from French comedian Ornella Fleury a little hard to take.

Addressing Hill face to face on live television, Fleury unflinchingly recounted a sexual fantasy involving the 32-year-old’s celebrity friends at the expense of the man himself.

The cutting exchange began with a not-so subtle dig at Hill’s movie career, who stars in new film War Dogs.

“It’s when I saw you get sodomised by a demon in This Is The End that I told myself THAT is the man of my dreams,” began Fleury – immediately riling the actor.

“And you? I heard you get sodomised on a regular basis,” responded Hill.

But undeterred Fleury continued: “Anyway, here’s why I have a sexual fantasy with you Jonah – all I have to say is sexual fantasy and you guys laugh… guess I don’t need to finish the joke…

“My sexual fantasy would be that we would meet up in a hotel room at night. We would chat, you’d make me laugh, you’d make me laugh A LOT, and then all of a sudden you’d bring your friends [Leo] DiCaprio and Brad Pitt… and then you would LEAVE,”  she concluded. Hahahaha lool.

Cue an awkward silence around the room and slow, sarcastic thumbs up from Hill. The Wolf of Wall Street star then let his composure slip, snapping “I’m glad I came on here to be mocked by a local journalist,” clearly unaware she was not a journalist but a comedian.

Perhaps Fleury was just trying to offer jokes a potential Hangover reboot?
I myself can't stop laughing lol. That girl really got him lool. I would invite Fleury for my next movie, if I were to be Jonah Hill.

Chris Brown bans his friends from bringing random women to his home


            
Chris Brown who lives with his two friends in his California's mansion has told his friends to stop bringing girls into his mansion. He bans them from throwing parties and bringing unknown girls into the LA mansion which belongs to Chris. His decision to ban his friends from bringing random girls into his mansion is due to the recent scandal, which eventually led to his arrest for allegedly pulling gun on a girl in his mansion. He was bailed for around $250,000. Read TMZ report below.

Chris Brown is done hosting frat house parties ... blaming his male friends and thirsty chicks for his recent arrest. Our Chris sources tell us he's now enforcing a strict guest policy at his Calabasas mansion -- and letting everyone in his crew know he's as serious as death ... no more randoms allowed. We told he's pulling back on parties for starters, but there's this problem with his 2 roommates/best friends.
They now have to submit a guest list to Chris IN WRITING, and they must describe who they are with sufficient details so he can decide whether he wants them in his home. We're told he also is imposing another strict policy ... guests are prohibited from bringing drugs or alcohol. The only booze and drugs allowed are his.

Photos: Hillary Clinton Canceled a trip to California due to pneumonia illness


The Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton is suffering from pneumonia, the announcement was made on Sunday by her personal doctor after she fell ill at Sept.11 memorial.
Her illness forced her to cancel a trip she was scheduled to take to California on Monday for fundraising and other campaign events.
Clinton who is 68 was diagnosed on Friday, but her condition only came to light several hours after a video on social media appeared to show her swaying and her knees buckling before being helped into a motorcade as she left the memorial early Sunday.
Clinton had a medical examination when she got back to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to a campaign aide. Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that she has been experiencing a cough related to allergies and that an examination on Friday showed it was pneumonia.


"She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely," Bardack said.

The former Secretary of State pneumonia diagnosis comes at a crucial time in the White House race against Republican rival Donald Trump, who refrained from commenting on her health on Sunday, according Reuters.
The first of three presidential debates is on Sept. 26 and the election is on Nov. 8.

Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile said she was encouraged that Clinton "already is feeling better" and looked "forward to seeing her back out on the campaign trail and continuing on the path to victory."



Several Clinton allies said the incident underscored the candidate's resilience.

"After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event," said Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton in the past and now has a communications firm.

"It was an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies."


Clinton left ceremonies commemorating the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks feeling 'overheated.
