Kylie Jenner's Visit to Greek Restaurant Sparks Comment War on Instagram
Kylie Jenner visited a restaurant in Greece and social media users are sharing their opinions under the comments -- both positive and negative. A Greek restaurant's Instagram comments are blowing up after Kylie Jenner visited for a quick bite. The owners of Tassia Restaurant posted a photo with the 27-year-old mother of two, thanking her for the visit to their restaurant in Greece. "We had the honor of welcoming Kylie Jenner to our restaurant. An iconic entrepreneur and global trendsetter, she experienced a taste of our Greek hospitality and cuisine," they wrote. "It was a true pleasure to host such a remarkable guest. We hope to welcome her again soon!" signed by the Dendrinos Family. Despite having only 3,885 followers, the post has since generated more than 23.4k likes, with 724 comments with Instagram users sharing their reactions -- with the initial wave leaning toward the negative. "Honor? Really?" read one comment, with another echoing, "Honour ... ? Why different from any other guest ... ?" "I hope you made her wash some dishes or wait on a couple tables," another commented. "Thanks! Now I know where NOT to go," wrote someone else. Following the first wave of negativity, however, a flood of positive comments started coming through -- defending the restaurant and their decision to post a photo with Jenner. "People who are getting mad at this need to touch grass," the top comment wrote. "So weird that people are getting upset over this post. I promise you if a celebrity as famous as Kylie Jenner supported a business that they owned they would want to post about it too!! I think that's amazing for this restaurant!" another Instagram user came in defense for the restaurant. "I will be visiting Greece only to eat at this restaurant, all thanks to Kylie," another added. Other positive comments included, "Whether you like her or not it's an experience to have someone famous sit and dine at your restaurant," "People are just so jealous. This comment section is so negative. If I had Kylie come visit my restaurant I would post about it too," and "Haters don't realize they're pushing this post out into the algorithm which means more viewers and potentially more clients for this restaurant. Keep doing what yall do best Karens 👌 ❤️😂"

How to watch ‘The Assassin' online from anywhere
"Are you really not going to tell me why you're some kind of perimenopausal James Bond?' asks Edward (played by Freddie Highmore), the estranged son of Keeley Hawes' character Julie. And that is not even the most difficult question the retired hitwoman has to answer when her past resists her and the two of them are forced to go on the run. Below, we reveal where to watch 'The Assassin' online and from anywhere with a VPN. "The Assassin" premieres on Friday, July 25.• UK— Amazon Prime (FREE 30-day trial)• Aus — Stan Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free Ok, it might sound a bit contrived but it actually works. Hawes seem to have the most fun as the kick ass middle aged woman called out of retirement for the inevitable "one last job" while Highmore follows behind trying to assemble what he can of his own back story through the smokescreen of secrecy laid by his mother. A great supporting cast including Gina Gershon, Jack Davenport, Richard Dormer and Alan "Jim from Neighbours" Dale plus dramatic action scenes and crazy plot twists provide plenty of reasons to suspend disbelief. Set on a beautiful Greek Island, it's not exactly "Mamma Mia" but it does have a similar vibe. With added sniper rifle.

Hollywood's 'first cancel culture victim' Kevin Sorbo sees industry dramatically shifting under Trump
Kevin Sorbo considers himself to be the first victim of cancel culture since he was booted from Hollywood over a decade ago due to his conservative values. The 66-year-old actor skyrocketed to international fame when he starred as the Greek demigod Hercules in the hit show "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" for six seasons from 1995 to 1999. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Sorbo discussed how the political climate is shifting in Hollywood, and he believes that the industry is open to more conservative and Christian values today because they are tired of losing out on millions of dollars. "Well, I'm the first cancel culture victim before I knew it was a term. Hollywood booted me up a dozen years ago for things I was posting on the internet. And I looked at my age and I said, 'Oh, you guys are upset that I'm posting the truth? Is that a problem with you guys?' Because they hate the truth, and they hate anybody who's a Christian in Hollywood, anybody who is a conservative. So I'm like a double leper to them. I'm, like, kryptonite or something," Sorbo said. 'Hercules' Star Discusses New 'Hardcore-faith Based' Movie And Opportunities For Conservatives In Hollywood The "What If…" star explained that he and his wife decided to create their own studio, Sorbo Studios, and he has been shooting at least four movies a year since saying goodbye to the industry. Read On The Fox News App "So, I'm OK with it. I mean, I hate it, but I think there's a shift. I think with Trump in office again right now, there's definitely a shift. People will hate him in front, but those people that hate him, they're gonna see their lives get better. Trust me. And Hollywood is shifting a little bit because I'm starting to get calls from the studios saying, 'Hey, there's a big thing with this stuff. So maybe send us a couple of scripts.' "So, I'm reaching out to Netflix and Amazon with a couple of scripts that I have that aren't in your face about faith, but the messages are there," Kevin continued. "There's a positive message instead of negative ones, so I think we've reached a tipping point." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News Sorbo weighed in on why Hollywood is now deciding to make a shift. "I think people are tired of it, and Hollywood's tired of losing money, like they're going to lose another $300 million on this woke Disney movie with 'Snow White.' So, I think the American people are fed up, and I think they showed it in the last election as well. They said enough is enough of this stuff. So I just think it's just the pendulum swinging back and forth, right? And I think we're going back to the right side now, and I'm a believer in going right and then left," Sorbo said. WATCH: Hollywood's 'first cancel culture victim' Kevin Sorbo sees industry dramatically shifting under Trump presidency Sorbo's "What If…" was released in 2010 and will be re-released for its 15th anniversary on Aug. 5 and 7. The film starred Sorbo, Kristy Swanson, John Ratzenberger, and Debby Ryan. The story follows Ben Walker (Sorbo), a businessman who abandoned his faith. One day, Ben wakes up living the life he was destined for — married to his college sweetheart (Swanson) and serving as a small-town pastor. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter The "Hercules" star told Fox News Digital that the movie's storyline is still relevant today because it's everything "Hollywood movies don't have anymore." WATCH: Kevin Sorbo shares why 'What If...' message is still relevant today "That's what Hollywood used to put out there, movies that had hope and love and laughter and redemption and faith. And, you know, Hollywood used to do a lot of these kinds of movies. And I think they're waking up a little bit now because they're losing a lot of money on this woke insanity. So let's see what happens with it. I've always loved this movie," Sorbo said. Theaters will be showing new bonus content only available in theaters, including an exclusive filmed cast reunion and roundtable hosted by director Dallas Jenkins.
