Tim Allen: Hollywood is Like Nazi Germany!

To many people, Tim Allen is known for his role on the classic, beloved sitcom Home Improvement, or for providing the voice for Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies. Or maybe you know him best from The Santa Clause, or his work as a comedian, or from any other of his many endeavors in the entertainment world. But after watching this new interview he did on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, you might remember him best as a Donald Trump supporter . And that's … well, it is what it is, we suppose. Tim started out this segment of the interview by very, very hesitantly admitting that he attended Trump's inauguration. “You gotta be real careful around here,” he laughed, referring to Hollywood. “You get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes. This is like '30s Germany.” He then went on to explain how Google Maps and iPhones are tools of the government used to spy on people, so … Look, Tim can believe whatever he wants to believe, obviously. If he's a Trump supporter, then good for him. But maybe the issue he's experiencing isn't so much “like '30s Germany” as it is an issue of people strongly disagreeing with Trump's backwards views and then assuming his supporters share those views. You can appreciate and support people with different beliefs than yours, but if those beliefs are ones you find deeply morally wrong , then it makes things harder. Check out Tim's interview below:

Who is the Most Surprising Omission on the Forbes List of Highest-Earning Actors in Hollywood?

In a similar fashion with what they did with actresses , Forbes has released a list of the 15 highest-earning actors in Hollywood (caveat here for the perhaps inexact figures). Topping the list? Not Johnny Depp (No. 2) or Will Smith (No. 4), but Leonardo DiCaprio, who — thanks to his one-two 2010 punch of Shutter Island and Inception — has earned upward of $77 million in the last year. Kudos, Leo! The rest of the list is populated with familiar faces like Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise and Tim Allen. Wait, what is Tim Allen doing here?

Disney Casts Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in Live-Action Jungle Cruise

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as cartoons? An unbeatable box office combination. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as live-action middle-aged dudes on a jungle adventure? Hopefully an unbeatable box office combination. At least that’s what Disney is probably hoping. According to THR , they’ve cast Hanks and Allen in Jungle Cruise , a “big action-adventure movie with unique aspects that will make it more than just a straight-up adventure.” Unique aspects like animating Hanks and Allen as a couple of toys? No? Oh. [ THR /Heat Vision ]

VIDEO: Animated Ricky Gervais Gets Tool Time’d by Tim Allen

You know the old saying: A news story isn’t a news story until the animation wizards at Taiwanese news service NMA work their magic. With that in mind, how did Ricky Gervais spend that lost hour at the Golden Globes on Sunday night? Probably sipping a bottle of water and talking to celebrities, but it’s fun to imagine a world where he got beaten with a dildo by Hugh Hefner. And sliced open by Tim Allen on the set of Home Improvement . Apologies to Warner Wolf, but let’s go to the video tape.

Has Ricky Gervais Officially Doomed Us for the Safest Oscars Ever?

Now you’ve done it, celebrities. You’re pretending that Ricky Gervais’s zingers were anything but expected at Sunday’s Golden Globes, and now he’s never coming back. You malnourished spazzes!

Now we’re screwed for the awards show we actually care about: The Oscars.
