Chelsea Handler's revealing voting message

Chelsea Handler's revealing voting message

Former talk show host Chelsea Handler isn't shy about taking her clothes off on social media to get some attention about the issues important to her, from literacy to breast cancer awareness.  

Today, she’s baring (almost) all to encourage people to vote, addressing her followers topless with nothing but a couple of “I voted” stickers covering her nipples.

“I have voted, and I wanted to make sure that you have voted too. Please do not let anybody intimidate you on voting lines – I know it can be intimidating when people have guns… please do not engage, hold your head up high, go in and cast your ballot for the candidate you choose. This is democracy.”

Handler captioned the revealing video with “my apologies to my nieces and nephews.”

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am blasted Donald Trump in an interview on UK television, likening the President's supporters to someone stuck in an abusive relationship.

“Having just gone through the past nine months, with so many people losing loved ones, so many people out of jobs, so many people who can’t pay their rent because they have to have a paycheque and are facing eviction… The past nine months has been horrific,” he said during an interview on Good Morning Britain.

'The past 9 months has been horrific…I believe people want a stable next four years.'@iamwill shares his thoughts about the US election. Hays people want 'equal opportunity' after seeing the divide in America.

“And for America to be the leading country in the world, we’re acting like we’re a third world country with the way we’ve handled things. So, I believe people want a better next four years, a stable next four years.”

Will.i.am claimed those voting for Trump for the second time again today were “[like] with any abusive relationship. There’s people that stick with their spouses and go through abuse because they don’t know how to leave. That doesn’t mean that they’re happy, they just don’t have the strength or the courage to get out and change and switch it up and have faith in something else. That’s all they know.”

Not now, Kanye

Nick Bond

In all this talk of Trump vs. Biden, have we forgotten about everyone's favourite write-in candidate, Kanye West?

Kanye's ensuring he gets at least one vote: himself. The rapper-turned-political candidate just live-tweeted his trip to the ballot box, where he wrote in his own name on the form:

West also revealed it was the first time he'd voted in his life:

God is so good 😊 Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it's for someone I truly trust…me. 🇺🇸 🕊

Trump's awkward flub with rapper

Nick Bond

Well, that was awkward. Donald Trump was joined by one celebrity supporter – rapper Lil Pump – during a rally in Grand Rapids overnight.

Describing the 20-year-old rapper, who has had two US top 10 hits, as "one of the big superstars of the world," Trump then flubbed his guest's name: "Little Pimp!"

After a lengthy pause, Trump continued, this time getting the star's moniker at least halfway right: "You want to come up and say something, Little Pump? Does everyone know who he is? Do you know how big he is?"

There were no hard feelings when Little Pimp – sorry, Lil Pump – took to the stage for a very brief speech: "MAGA 2020, don't forget that! And do not vote for Sleepy Joe AT ALL!"

Trump-supporting stars

Nick Bond

We'll no doubt hear a lot today from Biden-supporting celebrities – stars like Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Eminem have already made headlines for their vocal support of the Democratic Presidential candidate.

But who are the celebrity Trump supporters? Page Six has collated a list of his most outspoken celeb champions, including country singer Kid Rock – who's been campaigning for Donald Trump – and actress Kirstie Alley, who was met with a fierce online backlash last month when she confirmed she'd be voting for Trump.

Also on the list: Former Happy Days actor Scott Baio, disgraced sitcom star Roseanne Barr, veteran actors James Woods and Jon Voight, rappers Lil' Wayne and Lil Pump and controversial former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington:

Meghan to make royal voting history

Victoria Craw

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will make history by becoming the first royal to vote in the US election today.

A source told US media: "I'm not going to get into methods or timing, but can confirm that the duchess is voting in this election."

The Californian Duchess has urged voters to get involved in a video filmed with Prince Harry as part of a Time 100 series that sparked anger over their 'interference' in politics.

Pictured: Meghan and Harry before they quit the UK for LA life.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken on hate speech and negativity on social media while holed-up in their California mansion during the pandemic.

However urging the public to vote proved a step too far for some, particularly considering Prince Harry admitted he had never voted in his native Britain as part of the royal commitment to political neutrality.

In the Time video message, Meghan called the presidential race the “most important election of our lifetime”.

It led to calls from US Republican Jason Smith for the couple to be stripped of their titles.

Have you done your early voting yet? I know Everything is starting to feel pretty heavy this week… I’m sure you all feel it too… make sure you take time for yourself and don’t forget to do some deep intentional breathing every so often to calm your nerves. Take a walk with music. Give yourself a hug. Talk to your friends and family about how you feel. Hopefully change is coming. Tomorrow is the official Election Day for our new president. Please be on the right side of history. There is only ONE party that will be receptive to the work and advocacy that the thought leaders of our generation , and past generations have been fighting for. Beyond anything , this election is about getting a racist, misogynistic , xenophobic, frankly disgusting man out of office. This past year during the pandemic, we have all had a chance to sit with ourselves and really think. What kind of America do we want to live in? For our children to group up in? I want to live in a welcoming, respectful, helpful, smart, responsible and kind America. What we’re living through right now, under Donald Trumps presidency, is the exact opposite. He won’t even acknowledge his wrongdoings or the evil that is infiltrated and has permeated through the systems and certain groups/people in America. Because he believes in them! He knows that the people that support his racism and hate, will give him a vote , so he could never condemn them. He approves. It’s sick. There is so much to say , but just know, this is one of the most important elections to date. The feeling of standing up for what you believe in, having strength within your decision and knowledge . Then going out and VOTING to express that decision, could quite possibly be the best feeling in the world! We are just individual pieces of a very large puzzle, but each puzzle piece counts … including yours!!! We are standing up now so the children, grandchildren and next generation, OUR future Bosses, Teachers, Artists, Leaders never have to feel oppressed by anything or anyone. Who will be effected if you don’t vote? Think about that. Vote for empathy. Vote for science. Vote for a not blatantly criminal, racist president and VP. Vote

Earlier, she shared a post with her followers saying "I know everything is starting to feel pretty heavy this week… I’m sure you all feel it too…"

"Make sure you take time for yourself and don’t forget to do some deep intentional breathing every so often to calm your nerves. Take a walk with music. Give yourself a hug. Talk to your friends and family about how you feel. Hopefully change is coming."

We take it that's one for Biden then.

Kanye votes....for himself

Victoria Craw

Kanye West has taken to social media to declare he voted for a trustworthy candidate in the 2020 election….himself.

"Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it's for someone I truly trust…me," he wrote, alongside an emoji of a US flag and a dove, symbolising peace.

God is so good 😊 Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it's for someone I truly trust…me. 🇺🇸 🕊

The rapper-turned-candidate also declared he channels Will Ferrel (sic) at "daddy daughter dances," whatever that means.

Kanye announced his candidacy earlier this year however it was marred by emotional outbursts in which he said he and Kim Kardashian West considered an abortion before having their daughter North, and later filmed himself urinating on his Grammy awards.

Corden's 'brilliant' three-minute Trump video

Stephanie Bedo

Talk show host James Corden has delivered a last minute anti-Trump message to viewers.

The Late Late Show with James Corden star recapped four years of Donald Trump's four-year presidency in three minutes.

The clip was shared on the show's Twitter account highlighting all the Trump moments that have made headlines.

Corden ended the video saying, "think about the country you want to live in".

"And if looking at polls makes you break out in hives, then vote tomorrow and we can move on with our lives," he finished.

It would be impossible to recap it all for you, so you're going to have to watch the clip.

In case you were lucky enough to miss a single moment of Trump's presidency, @JKCorden is here to recap the last four years in just three minutes. pic.twitter.com/M6jgHNUXQS

Fans on social media labelled it "brilliant" and "genius".

One person tweeted, "Trump really f**ked us over for 4 years didn’t he… god can the nightmare end already".

Another said there was enough material it could have been a full hour special.

But not all reaction was supportive, with some saying Corden wasn't funny, to go back to the UK and that elements of the video weren't true.
