James Corden Fires Back at Critics of Hillary Clinton's Grammys Appearance


"Well Nikki Haley, you can tell your boss, some of us love politics without the Twitter meltdowns thrown in," Corden argued on Monday's 'Late Late Show' in response to the U.N. Ambassador's tweet.
Fresh off of hosting Sunday's Grammys on Monday's Late Late Show, James Corden addressed the criticism the ceremony faced for being too political.
One of the night's biggest moments came when Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance as part of a sketch in which multiple celebrities read from Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Corden explained that the Trump administration found issue with it, after several political figures tweeted about the sketch. The late-night host then read a tweet posted by U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, who slammed the comedy bit, arguing “Some of us love music without politics being thrown into it.”

“So I guess Nikki only liked the other nonpolitical moments of the Grammys. You know, Kendrick Lamar’s performance about police violence or U2’s performance about immigration in front of the Statue of Liberty,” Corden joked. The late-night host then directed his attention to Haley, arguing, “Well Nikki Haley, you can tell your boss, some of us love politics without the Twitter meltdowns thrown in,” Corden argued.
Donald Trump Jr. also tweeted about Clinton’s Grammy’s appearance, writing, “Getting to read a #fakenews book excerpt at the Grammys seems like a great consolation price for losing the presidency.” When the audience began booing after Corden read the tweet, the late-night host quipped, “No, you gotta give him credit. If anyone knows about consolation prizes, it’s Donald Trump’s second favorite child. At least you’re not Tiffany. Eric Trump would’ve tweeted about it, but he’s not allowed to stay up past 7:30.”

Sex robot SHOCK: Increasing sophistication of AI will cause massive issues, experts warn

The growing sophistication of creepily real sex robots is leading to moral and legal dilemmas, a leading academic has warned. As technology has expanded sex robots have become increasingly lifelike, bringing about a the need for a revolution in how we think about sex, morals and the legal status of these sex robots, according to Kent Law School Professor Robin Mackenzie. Prof Mackenzie specialises in areas such as robotics and the ethical and legal relations between humans and robots. She said: "Sex, law and ethics will never be the same. Sooner than we think, technologists will create sentient, self-aware sex robots, capable of emotional/sexual intimacy.” Prof Mackenzie added: "Humans having sex with other humans who are unable to consent to sex, like children and adults lacking decision-making capacity, is seen as unlawful and unethical. So is human/animal sex. Such groups are recognised as sentient beings who cannot consent to sex with interests in ne
