So, a bunch of overly self-important celebrities got together last night...

People are outraged now?

"If the shoe fits ... wear it." In other words, when you're right, you're right.

White supremacy is the new mantra, and EVERYTHING will be discussed in ways to make it fit that narrative.

After you pay for it they invite every one else in line to take a bite.

Meanwhile, Will Smith has resigned from the Motion Picture Academy. It's apparently a preemptive strike, along the lines of "You can't fire me -- I quit."

This just got even weirder

Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that she and husband Will Smith have secretly been separated for the last seven years - as she admitted that the pair, who tied the knot in 1997, are still trying to 'figure out' what the future of their marriage looks like.

The 52-year-old shared the shock news about her relationship in a new interview with People - before also opening up about their situation in more detail in a sit-down with NBC News this morning.

Speaking to Hoda Kotb on the Today show, Jada explained why her marriage to Will, 55, broke down, divulging: 'By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.'

Referencing Jada's book, Hoda said that the actress described the separation as being like a 'divorce', despite the pair not filing any paperwork, saying that she wrote: 'It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce.'

Jada Pinkett Smith reveals she and Will Smith have secretly been SEPARATED for SEVEN YEARS after growing 'exhausted' of trying to save 'fractured' marriage - but says they have NO plans to divorce despite living apart

So he slapped Chris Rock and ruined his career...for a woman that already left him?

Wow.  This whole thing, what with race, marriage, divorce, violence, physical appearance, worldwide publicity, sounds like a good plot for a dramatic comedy movie.

I think they need to bring in some horses for a little western flavor.  Oh, and UFOs just because.

The satisfying ending would be Chuck Norris coming in and kicking everybody in the face.

Fade to black.   ....No, no, I mean fade to no-light situation.

Could also freeze-frame on a cowboy boot connecting with the last guy's face.  Then roll the credits with that as a background.

Yes indeed ... why do you ask?

I'm sure the timing was entirely coincidental.
