Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. 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.
