You Might Want to Rethink

Sen. J.D. Vance does not regret his big swipe at "childless cat ladies" -- but does think everyone's missing the point he was trying to make with what he's now labeling a purely sarcastic remark.

Donald Trump's running mate got grilled about cat ladies Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet the Press," and said his only regret was that people took the comment the wrong way, and added ... "I'm a real person, I'm gonna make jokes, I'm gonna say things sarcastically."

Vance says what he was really getting at when he said it back in 2021, is that too many women don't feel like they can start families because it's too expensive. His reframing of "cat ladies" is that he and Trump will improve their lives, so they can have kids.

The way RR explains it, the sequence itself didn't work ... and, the only reason it didn't immeditaly end up on the cutting room floor was because of Rob's performance.

Tim Blake Nelson's taking film legend Martin Scorsese to task ... saying he respects the famed director -- but, that doesn't mean he thinks he's right about Marvel.

The actor -- who played a small role in the 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" -- spoke with Variety about the seminal cinematic universe Scorsese just can't stand ... saying he believes it's cinema.

While at first deflated, her coaches demanded a difficulty review ... which the judges granted. After looking at the routine, they increased her score by one-tenth of a point -- putting her in third.

J.D. Vance fired off a lighthearted joke about him and a couch -- and considering all the (unfounded) rumors about him and furniture ... you couldn't write a better script.

The vice presidential candidate spoke in Nevada Tuesday at a rally ... and during his remarks, he mentioned his wife of a decade, Usha -- implying she's not big on public speaking.

In fact, Vance says, if he calls her up to the stage -- she'll probably make him sleep on the couch ... an off-the-cuff comment that drew a few chuckles from the crowd, but which had the internet cracking up en masse.
