Chuck Lorre ignited a feud with White House after a charity gala speech put Donald Trump on notice.
Lorre lamented that while he'd love to champion a "compassionate government," he instead feels compelled to "say a few words about that bloated orange piece of s--- in the White House."
A spokesperson for the White House responded, encouraging Lorre to "immediately seek psychiatric help to treat his severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Add Chuck Lorre to the overstuffed rolodex of Hollywood legends who have personal beef with Donald Trump.
The creator of such modern classics as The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men took no prisoners in his acceptance speech after winning the Founders Award at a Project Angel Food fundraiser in Los Angeles on Sept. 26. "Sure, I'd love to stand here and talk about my deep yearning for a more compassionate government, one that prioritizes the health and welfare of its citizens," he lamented. "But the burden of my profession demands that I take this opportunity to say a few words about that bloated orange piece of s--- in the White House" (per The Daily Beast).

Christy Knowings died from cardiac arrest brought on by complications from asthma, according to a newly obtained death certificate. The former All That star died August 11 at a Los Angeles hospital, four days after a severe asthma attack reportedly left her with brain damage. She was 46.
The document, obtained by People on Sept. 2, identifies cardiac arrest as Knowings' immediate cause of death. Acute hypoxic respiratory failure—a life-threatening condition caused by insufficient oxygen—and status asthmaticus were listed among the conditions that led to her death. Asthma was named as the underlying cause.

A family member previously said that Knowings was hospitalized after suffering the asthma attack on August 7 and placed on life support. Her family made the decision to remove her from life support on August 11, and she died later that day.
A GoFundMe was established to help her parents cover mortuary and funeral costs. Knowings was remembered as "a compassionate, bright light whose warmth, kindness, and humor touched every life she encountered."

June 4 (Reuters) - The UK cost-effectiveness watchdog on Thursday recommended AbbVie's "guided missile" cancer therapy, Elahere, for patients with a hard-to-treat form of ovarian cancer.
The drug, Elahere, will be made available to patients under a confidential commercial agreement between AbbVie and the state-run National Health Service, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) said.
The decision comes after NICE revised its value appraisal framework as part of a broader UK-U.S. deal last year to secure zero tariffs on British pharmaceutical products and medical technology, in exchange for increased drug spending and changes to its ******* sment criteria.
The new framework would widen access to treatments previously rejected on cost grounds.
Critically ill patients whose cancer has stopped responding to standard chemotherapy will now be able to access Elahere through the NHS. The drug was previously limited to clinical trials, private care, or compassionate use.
