Ex-Trump staffer Hope Hicks to join Megyn Kelly's media company as COO
Hope Hicks, a former Trump staffer, is set to join ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly for a new media venture. Megyn Kelly is tapping a well-known ex-Trump official for her growing media business. Kelly, 54, once a mainstay on cable news, has since launched her own podcast and YouTube show, following a tumultuous exit from the traditional format. Now she's creating her own brand with Devil May Care Media, which will serve as home to the "Megyn Kelly Show" and others, and to do it, she's bringing on Hope Hicks. Kelly first shared the news with the New York Post, later confirming it with a post on X. Hicks, 36, who served as communications director during President Donald Trump's first term and later as an executive at Fox Corp., will take on the role of chief operating officer, helping grow the business in an ever-evolving media landscape. Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher get candid on cancel culture: 'Even liberals hate this' "Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me – strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise," Kelly said in a statement to the Post. "She's at the top of a growing media conglomerate and there's no limit to where she can take it; my best-in-the-business staff and I are thrilled to have her on board." Hicks, who has been working in corporate consulting since her exit from the White House, shared in Kelly's excitement over the partnership. "Megyn has used her talent, integrity, and unparalleled credibility to create content unlike anything else available today," Hicks told The Post. "I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business." USA TODAY has reached out to Devil May Care Media for comment. Once one of Trump's closest advisors, Hicks began working in the White House in 2017 and filled various roles intermittently before exiting the administration permanently following his loss in the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent campaign to overturn the election results. Now she is joining forces with Kelly, an intermittent subject of Trump's ire, who in recent years generated a massive audience outside of traditional media with her daily news podcast and commentary show. A time-honored conservative commentator, Kelly left Fox News in 2017 after more than a decade, moving to NBC, much to the chagrin of liberal viewers, and exiting that network just a year later following controversial on-air remarks she made defending the use of blackface. She has now proved a case-study for new media, however, bringing her personal brand and audience with her to launch a popular podcast and a burgeoning conservative media company.

Megyn Kelly calls Jennifer Lopez an adult entertainer while shading singer's sultry performance
Megyn Kelly did not mince her words when commenting on Jennifer Lopez's recent live performance. The political commentator compared Lopez to 'a soft porn star' when reposting a video of the 55-year-old singer performing her hit song 'I'm Into You' at the Cook Music Festival in Spain on July 18. 'Great choices!' the 54-year-old sarcastically captioned the video on X. Lopez's performance of the 2011 hit featured a dance break with several shirtless male dancers mimicking some sexual positions, which Kelly firmly disapproved of. Although many of Kelly's followers agreed with her take in the comments, others called her out for the mean-spirited post. 'Jealous much?' one user wrote, seemingly referring to the singer's impressive physique that she showcased during the performance in a plunging, bedazzled bodysuit. 'We could be a little less judgmental,' someone commented. 'Still grasping at relevance, Megyn? ' another added. Some also took to the comments to defend the dancer's seductive moves on stage that Kelly was criticizing. 'Have you never seen contemporary dance?' one viewer questioned. Lopez has not publicly reacted to Kelly's social media post. Reps for Lopez weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The 'Megyn Kelly Show' host is known to give her unfiltered takes about many Hollywood A-listers. Earlier this month, she claimed that it was Sydney Sweeney's 'enormous breasts' that snagged her an invite to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding. 'How does she wind up there?' the podcast host questioned after coming to the bold conclusion. The journalist also compared Sánchez, 55, to a 'hooker' after the philanthropist stepped out wearing a low-cut white pantsuit and lace corset to Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony. 'At the inauguration, she wore a corset. She had her boobs on display. I can't with this woman,' Kelly said at the time. 'The girls were out … I can see the middle of her boobs. I can see her underboob … this is absurd. She couldn't even keep them covered up for a day.' Solve the daily Crossword

Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro spar over Epstein theories, DOJ response
Commentators Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro sparred on Monday over Jeffrey Epstein's files and theories regarding his death. Kelly said sources have confirmed to her that Epstein did not kill himself but was targeted while working as an 'agent' for the Israeli government, while Shapiro said unnamed whistleblowers were unreliable. 'I can claim that he was working for a cadre of space aliens who are blackmailing high-profile Americans in order to protect from a future invasion. And there's just about as much evidence for that as many of the claims that were being made on the other side,' Shapiro said during a Monday appearance on the ' Megyn Kelly Show.' Instead, he said he trusts the findings outlined by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel released in a memo July 7 declaring there was no evidence to suggest Epstein was killed and ultimately no record of a 'client list.' Kelly pushed back on Shapiro's comments, alleging that administration officials didn't directly respond to evidence published by the Department of Justice and FBI. 'Trump hasn't specifically weighed in on that specific aspect of it. We've all seen the limited things that Trump has said and tweeted on this. And JD Vance was calling for transparency and suggesting otherwise prior to taking office. He hasn't commented on this so far, so he's not one of your sources,' Kelly said. 'You've got Kash, you've got Dan [Bongino], and you've got Pam, and we've already discussed that memo in full detail. I'm talking about people behind the scenes who, prior to this, to Trump taking office, I'm not going to get too specific, but trust me, I have high-level sources who have said they don't believe any of that, any of that,' she added, noting that she didn't have the 'authorization' to name her sources. But Shapiro said instead of being outed, whistleblowers should name themselves, 'because otherwise they are being complicit in one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of the American republic.' 'That's easy for you to say, Ben. That's very easy for you to say, OK …' Kelly responded. 'Because you'll have your job, and you'll have your millions, no matter what they do.' But Shapiro said those who step forward with proof to counter the government's findings would make millions. 'Megyn, give me a break. If somebody came out today and they were a whistleblower on the greatest scandal in the history of the American republic, they would make more money tomorrow than in their entire life working for the FBI,' he said on the Monday show. 'OK, there are reasons not to cross the people who are in charge and that's all I'm gonna say,' Kelly responded. The pair's conversation represents a broader spectrum of views on the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files. Some, including Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk have said they will trust the White House at their word while others, like Steve Bannon, said the gesture could cost the GOP 40 House seats in the midterm election cycle. But President Trump said he will not allow outside clamor to divide Cabinet members in his administration. 'We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein, ' Trump said in a Saturday post on Truth Social.
