Mila Kunis caught hell for stating the obvious: Fat people just need to try harder if they want to lose weight. When will celebrities learn that it never pays to speak the truth?

Liberals beware, because Fox News is tapping into a cultural niche that’s traditionally belonged to you: televised humor. I am referring to Red Eye’s Greg Gutfeld, who is suddenly everywhere.
But this guy, who can be quite amusing — for the uninitiated, think of him as a poor man’s Bill Maher — drops the funny business to spew demented conservative crap in nightly “Greg-alogues.” Oh, and Louis C.K., I love your FX series, but did you really have to provide a platform for Gutfeld on your show? At least you misspelled his name in the credits.
