Donald Trump fought to save Texas ally Ken Paxton from impeachment. It didn't work. Trump had repeatedly warned Republicans against backing the impeachment of Paxton, arguing it was a 'very unfair process." WASHINGTON – In the hours before the GOP-controlled legislature in Texas voted to impeach fellow Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, former President Donald Trump repeatedly took to social media with a warning for anyone − and especially members of his own party − who opposed his longtime ally. Trump lamented what he called the “very unfair process” used last weekend to oust one of the nation's most active state legal officials and vowed that he would "fight" any lawmakers who supported the impeachment. In the end, a majority of Texas Republicans in the state's House of Representatives ignored the admonishments of a former president and party leader and voted overwhelmingly to impeach Paxton anyway. Of 85 Republicans in the chamber, 60 supported Paxton's impeachment. Impeached:Texas House impeaches AG Ken Paxton with overwhelming GOP support. Senate trial is next. Vote:Here's how Texas lawmakers voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton The decision by many Republicans to wave off Trump's warnings fueled questions about the former president’s political power in one of the nation's reddest states. The episode comes as the field of candidates entering the race to challenge Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination grows. A spokeswoman for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump vows to ‘fight’ for ally Paxton. Will it matter? Paxton has been a nationally prominent conservative legal voice for years as well as an ally to Trump. In addition to filing high-profile suits against President Joe Biden over immigration and other issues, it was Paxton who brought an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the 2020 election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The nation's highest court ultimately denied that request in late 2020. Leading up to Saturday's impeachment, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to slam GOP lawmakers in Texas, encouraging them to let the voters decide Paxton's fate, instead. “Hopefully Republicans in the Texas House will agree that this is a very unfair process that should not be allowed to happen or proceed,” he wrote. “I will fight you if it does.” The former president and other national conservative figures doubled down after the vote as focus in Texas shifted toward a Senate trial. Trump accused Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a fellow of Republican, of being “MISSING IN ACTION!” during the impeachment fight. 1

Priyanka Chopra Jonas Says She Paid a Movie Production Back After Backing Out Over a “Dehumanizing” Director "I just couldn’t look at him every day," she said of her decision to quit the unnamed movie after just two days of filming. Priyanka Chopra Jonas paid back a production what it spent on her after she backed out just two days into filming due to the “dehumanizing” way she was treated by a director. The Citadel star spoke about why she made the decision to pay out of her own pocket after the experience in a recent story for The Zoe Report. The interview saw the Love Again star talking about her marriage to Nick Jonas and their shared work ethic, the challenges of breaking into the American entertainment industry and her production company’s two not-yet-announced projects for Amazon that had started their writers rooms but are now on pause amid the strike. At one point in the discussion, Chopra Jonas broaches an experience she’d previously written about in her memoir Unfinished. It involved a director on one of her earliest Bollywood projects around 2002 or 2003, and a role in which the new-to-the-industry talent played a woman undercover. “I’m undercover, I’m seducing the guy — obviously that’s what girls do when they’re undercover. But I’m seducing the guy, and you have to take off one piece of clothing [at a time],” she recalled. “I wanted to layer up. The filmmaker was like, ‘No, I need to see her underwear. Otherwise, why is anybody coming to watch this movie?‘” Chopra Jonas clarifies that the director didn’t make the comment directly to her but in front of her to her stylist, who the director had said to call on the phone for a recommendation. At the time, she had posed a question to the director about whether she should start the scene in more layers so she’s she wouldn’t end up bare skinned too quickly, according to her memoir. Still, it “was such a dehumanizing moment. It was a feeling of, I’m nothing else outside of how I can be used, my art is not important, what I contribute is not important,” she said. That prompted her to quit the project after just two days of work, but now the actress says she paid the production back out of her own pocket for what they’d spent on her, “at her father’s urging,” according to The Zoe Report. “I just couldn’t look at him every day,” she said of her decision. In the 2021 memoir, according to the Hindustan Times, the actress alleged that he made the unnamed director livid, and he “agitated” to the sets of another film she was on, with a co-star having to interven on her behalf. “I was ready to go full-out as a temptress in the number,” she said of her time on that initial film. “The director’s words and tone, though, conveyed that he regarded me in a way that I found unacceptable.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Bruce Willis’ Retirement: Action Stars “Never Really Retire … They Reload” Hhe will always be remembered as a great, great star. And a kind man," the actor says of his 'Expendables' co-star. Arnold Schwarzenegger has high praise for Bruce Willis following the actor’s announcement that he is retiring from acting due to a brain disorder called aphasia. The actor’s family announced the news last year following his diagnosis, which has since been updated more specifically to frontotemporal dementia. Recently, he was asked about Willis’ retirement and had nothing but kind words to say about the actor. “I think that he’s fantastic,” Schwarzenegger told CinemaBlend of Willis. “He was, always for years and years, is a huge, huge star. And I think that he will always be remembered as a great, great star. And a kind man.” And, speaking as one action star about another, Schwarzenegger added: “I understand that under his circumstances, health-wise, that he had to retire. But in general, you know, we never really retire. Action heroes, they reload.” Schwarzenegger and Willis were partners early on in the restaurant franchise Planet Hollywood and also worked together on The Expendables franchise. Willis celebrated his 68th birthday in March surrounded by his family, including ex-wife Demi Moore, current wife Emma Heming Willis and his daughters. Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, stars in Netflix’s new action-comedy FUBAR as well as Arnold, a docu-series also on Netflix, that chronicles his life. He also has an upcoming self-help book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life, and as well as a self-published daily motivational newsletter.
