SACHA BARON COHEN RESPONDS TO TRUMP: Asked if he had seen his advisor Rudy Giuliani in Sacha Baron Cohen‘s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, President Donald Trump said: “I don’t know what happened. But years ago, you know, he tried to scam me. And I was the only one who said no way. That’s a phony guy. And I don’t find him funny. I don’t know anything about him other than he tried to scam me. He came in as a BBC – British broadcasting anchor. To me, he was a creep. Thank you all.” Cohen responded on Twitter: “Donald — I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either. But yet the whole world laughs at you. I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!”

CHRISTINE ELISE APOLOGIZES: Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Christine Elise is walking back her claims that Jessica Alba lied when she said she was told not to make eye contact with the show’s cast on-set. Elise said on social media: “First of all – I have never met her but have always admired her work. I am certain she is a lovely woman. Secondly, anyone who knows me at all knows I swear with unapologetic abandon, so quotes read without tone of voice can be misinterpreted and seem more angry than they ever were.” She went on to say that Alba’s recollection of her time on the Fox teen drama “does not sound like the set I was on.”
