Peng Liyuan is absolutely radiant here—what a masterclass in pure, unfiltered joy and stunning fashion. She has such an effortless sense of style and carries herself with such incredible warmth and grace. What really stands out, though, is her smile. She looks completely relaxed, genuinely comfortable in her own skin, and so full of happiness. Watching her light up while listening to the children singing was simply wonderful—the kind of wholesome, infectious joy that makes you smile just watching her. There’s something especially captivating about her elegance, warmth, and ease in a moment like this. She truly radiates happiness—there must be something special about their marriage to have her look that gloriously happy...and so happy together. She really appears to wear the comfort of the man she’s with. #FirstLady #Peng Liyuan #Inspiration #PureJoy #OOTD #InfectiousEnergy #GoodVibes Only Let’s hear it for China’s First Lady!

Well-funded influencers and untethered, tenured radicals are repackaging socialism with talking points designed to tear down America. Before accepting a campus rant or TikTok at face value, let's beg our young Americans to ask this simplest question: Who’s funding this message? Skepticism isn’t being cynical, it’s just common sense! Our universities are churning out America-hating graduates faster than Starbucks can churn out lattes. Kids paying a small fortune are walking out with degrees in grievance, brainwashed to believe America is an irredeemable stain. They're taught that your demographic makes you either an "oppressor" or the “oppressed," the gateway to hating their heritage, and apologizing for success. These young naive folks will undoubtedly vote for DSA candidates in the upcoming midterms unless they learn how to think critically. Our younger generation deserves an actual education instead of being used as ideological foot soldiers. KEY ACTION ITEMS: Think for yourself. Follow the money. Question the narrative. NEVER confuse an influencer's paycheck or a professor’s propaganda with wisdom.

Nancy Reagan gave us iconic advice in the '80s: "Just Say No" to drugs. Flash forward to today, and it’s time for a major sequel. With the midterms closing in, let’s borrow a page from her playbook and “Just Say No” to Socialism. History has a 100% failure rate on this one, and no socialist society has ever survived this stupid experiment. Yet, we've got radical revolutionaries trying to fundamentally rewrite everything that makes this country great. We can't let them trade our foundational freedoms for a broken economic fantasy. America was not built on the idea that government should control every aspect of our lives. Heroes fought hard for our freedoms. With the midterms approaching, let’s send a loud and clear message at the ballot box. “Just Say No” to Socialism! Make sure you, your neighbors, your group chats, and everyone you know get out and vote to protect the country we love! The future of this country is shaped by the choices citizens make, and by whether citizens are paying attention. KEY ACTION ITEMS: Eyes Wide Open Spread the Word Confirm Your Voter Registration Mobilize Your Circle And JUST SAY NO! Let’s hear it! Share Toni Holt Kramer & Trumpettes USA!

The irony is rich today. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are upset about being shut out of the White House press room. I’m 100% for the press having access—but I can’t help noticing the irony. Maybe somebody should explain to us folks at home why we so often get the 37-second highlight reel instead of the entire press conference. For years, WE THE PEOPLE have been given carefully edited clips that can feel less like watching the whole movie and more like watching a trailer of the press’s preferred version of the plot. Some media outlets air press conferences in their entirety. Others show only selected portions. But shouldn’t WE THE PEOPLE be able to see the full exchange and decide for ourselves what we think? You know the routine: PRESIDENT: “45-minute press conference. NETWORK: “Here’s the 37 seconds you need to see.” WE THE PEOPLE: “What about the other 44 minutes and 23 seconds?” NETWORK: “OK, here’s the clip again.” I’m just suggesting a third option: Show the whole darn thing Let the president talk. Let reporters ask questions. Let the answers play out in full. Let WE THE PEOPLE decide what we think. What if the people who vote decide what they want to watch and what they want to believe? Just sayin’. Share Toni Holt Kramer & Trumpettes USA! ...

There was a time when Hollywood didn't just make movies—it made dreams. The stars were glamorous, the premieres were extravaganzas, and everybody wanted to know the “talk of the town.” Ruta Lee and Toni Holt Kramer want to help put the “tinsel" back in Tinseltown. In 2025, President Trump made Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone his “Special Envoys to Hollywood,” with the goal of bringing film and television production back to America to make Hollywood “bigger, better and stronger.” My dear friend, Jon Voight, presented the President with a proposal to revitalize the entertainment industry in the US, which included tax incentives to encourage production companies to film here in the USA. The Trump White House refers to this mission as “Making Hollywood Great Again!" This is so relevant to our possible "Talk of the Town" reboot idea—a Hollywood revival show that celebrates the glamour, the stars, the filmmaking, and the culture that once made Hollywood iconic. #TalkOfTheTown #RutaLee #BlondesHaveMoreFun #90s #TelevisionMemories #HollywoodHistory #CelebrityInterviews #TVClassics #Nostalgia #BehindTheScenes Share our message!

Some dinners come with a show, others come with history right across the table. This weekend, I had the honor of breaking bread with a true legend—Fred “The Hammer” Williamson and his beautiful wife and Trumpette, Linda. We shared some great memories from our Trumpettes events where Fred took the stage. Both Fred and Linda have been right there in the middle of the Trumpettes scene from the very beginning. Watch us here: youtube.com/watch?v=OIgq8EaF… Let's just say dinner with “The Hammer” is always an experience. Fred went from NFL football player for the Steelers, Oakland Raiders, and Kansas City Chiefs (appearing in Super Bowl I), earning his nickname “The Hammer” from the way he hit on the field, to iconic Hollywood badass actor, starring in Black Caesar. Fred built his own production company, Po’ Boy Productions, and apparently never learned the meaning of “slow down!” One thing I can confirm: The Hammer still brings the hammer. #FredWilliamson #TheHammer #HollywoodLegends #BlackCinema #FilmHistory #DinnerWithLegends Please SHARE Toni Holt Kramer & Trumpettes USA ­

If you missed his recent incredible interview with Mark Levin, it’s a must-see. Hanson has that rare ability to cut through the noise with common sense, historical perspective, and remarkably clear thinking. When Victor Davis Hanson speaks, I always listen. Here he is: foxnews.com/video/6404692949… For those who may not know Victor Davis Hanson, he’s a renowned historian, author, and professor at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. His expertise in ancient warfare and Western civilization gives him a unique perspective on the challenges facing America today. He doesn’t simply react to the headlines, he examines history, human nature, and the consequences of political decisions over time. We should embrace Hanson’s deep skepticism of communism and socialism and his deep understanding of what history teaches us about these systems. He warns against romanticizing ideologies that undermine individual freedom, private property, personal responsibility, and the institutions essential to a free society. His argument is not rooted in politics, but in history and the lessons of civilizations that have come before us. Most importantly, he put today’s turmoil into historical perspective, explaining how nations can lose their way and what we can do to restore strength, confidence, and order.

Every September 11, the weight of that dreadful day comes rushing back as so many of us remember the sadness, disbelief, images, and the lives so brutally taken. Twenty-five years later, the pain has never truly left. There is still an empty chair, a voice no longer heard, and a milestone marked without someone who should be there. Joel Osteen’s words feel especially meaningful today: “Don’t confuse a difficult chapter with the end of your story. Keep believing. Keep praying. Keep moving forward—even when you can’t see how things will work out.” 9/11 reminds us of the darkest chapter imaginable, but also of the extraordinary courage, compassion, sacrifice, and faith that emerged from the darkness. May God bring comfort to the hearts that have carried this loss for 25 years. We will remember every life. We will honor every sacrifice. We will pray for every husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, and dear friend. And we will NEVER forget. God bless America. Please SHARE Toni Holt Kramer & Trumpettes USA ...

Before there was social media, there was “Talk of the Town!” I’m about to take you on a very special trip back to the 1990s—when television was live, glamorous and UNSCRIPTED! My wonderful TV partner and dear friend Ruta Lee and I traveled around the globe to wherever the hunks, hotties and humanitarians were gathering. We interviewed every Hollywood legend, movie star, musician, athlete, politician, philanthropist, and socialite. Everyone wanted to do our show, because they knew it was going to be fun, spontaneous and completely unpredictable. We never knew exactly where a conversation would go, and that was the magic! I’m thrilled to start sharing these amazing interviews and shows with you. Think of it as my own little version of Turner Classic Movies (TCM), but instead of bringing you the great films and stars of the 1930s–’60s, I’m unearthing unforgettable moments of the 1990s. These are real time capsules from an incredible era of television, and I’m excited to bring them back to life. Get ready for some big names, big personalities, big hair…and even bigger memories!

Here’s a little glimpse from a recent reunion with Ruta Lee and a reminder of one extraordinary friendship, an unforgettable partnership, and one heck of a ride! For years, my beloved TV partner and soul sister, Ruta Lee, and I created and hosted more than 500 unscripted shows of “Talk of the Town” with our fabulous producer, Gloria Gebbia. We even founded our own production company: “Blondes Have More Fun,” and clearly lived up to that name! We were everywhere—truly the talk of the town. Hollywood, New York, London…wherever the stars were, we were there. We interviewed practically every major breathing star! From the red carpets and fundraisers to astronaut gatherings and animal preserves—we chased the big stories! The stars loved us. Some even insisted we cover their shows! What makes our old “Talk of the Town” footage so incredibly special today, is that we captured legends in their prime, completely unscripted. Many are sadly no longer with us, but others remain beloved icons. Decades later, our footage is Hollywood history. Think of what Turner Classic Movies has done by preserving the great films of the ’30s –’60s. Imagine, we hold that same kind of time capsule from the ’80s & ’90s. These shows were pure gold (my favorite color)! And more on this tomorrow! youtube.com/shorts/EjOlYJ2fA… Please SHARE Toni Holt Kramer & Trumpettes USA.

There is something deeply moving about walking through the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s Country Home and seeing the faces of Hollywood history looking back at you. I really love how Hollywood's biggest stars helped create this safety net for so many people the public would never know. Generations of actors, directors, producers and entertainers didn’t just make movies and television — too many to count, gave back to the people who made this industry possible. Thank you (left to right, from top left): George Clooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Jean Hersholt, Dick Van Dyke, Tom Hanks, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, Steven Spielberg, Bob Hope, Judy Garland, Walt Disney, Amal Clooney, Ronald Reagan, Mary Pickford, Bing Crosby, Gregory Peck and so many others helped build and sustain the extraordinary MPTF legacy of “taking care of our own.” One of the most touching places is the Hall of Fame, where photographs of supporters, donors and residents tell a very personal story of Hollywood — not just the stars we remember, but the people who gave their time, their money, their talent and, in many cases, eventually called the Country Home their own. It is a beautiful reminder that behind all the glamour, premieres and famous names, there was, and still is, a Hollywood family that understood the importance of caring for one another. What a remarkable legacy. What a beautiful gift to generations of people who helped make the magic.

MPTF’s Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills is so much more than a retirement community for entertainment-industry veterans and their spouses. It’s a place where those who helped create Hollywood can continue to live, create, perform, and connect. Residents have affordable access to independent and assisted living, specialized memory care, healthcare, financial and behavioral health support, wellness programs, theater, screenings, writing groups, entertainment, and countless social activities. The campus has a 250+ seat theater, screening room, wellness center, and studio with editing bays—where residents can keep creating and Hollywood celebrities continue to visit and perform. One of the most touching parts of my visit was meeting Helen Richman, whose life with her husband, Peter Mark, was a true show-business love story. They met through theater, performed together in summer stock, were married for 67 years, raised a family, and watched their children follow their footsteps into show business, including a granddaughter who was just nominated for an Tony Award. Peter Mark was a gifted actor and talented artist who painted beautiful portraits of women. I had the pleasure of seeing his work. I also knew him from his appearances on my television show, Talk of the Town. In 2019, Helen moved to MPTF while Peter Mark moved into Harry’s Haven, the assisted-living side of the campus with advanced dementia that required specialized care. Helen wanted to remain active and connected while knowing Peter was receiving the care he needed. They remained a couple in every sense, and Helen would wait for him in the Wellness Center when he came for his medical appointments. Unfortunately COVID prevented those visits from taking place, and Peter passed away in 2021. Their story captures what MPTF is truly about: care, dignity, connection, and the opportunity to keep living fully—even when life takes unexpected turns.

Recently had a most fascinating visit to the Motion Picture & Television Fund Country Home in Woodland Hills, California—truly a special place with Hollywood history. The home opened in 1942 as a haven for those who spent their lives creating the magic of movies and television. The MPTF campus isn’t just about Hollywood’s famous stars, it honors writers, technicians, craftspeople, and countless behind-the-scenes people. Its roots trace back more than 100 years ago to old-Hollywood royalty, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and other Hollywood luminaries whose philosophy was, “If you helped make the movies, the movies should help take care of you.” The Country Home was never simply a retirement home. It was created as a community, surrounded by lush gardens and filled with people who shared a lifetime of stories, friendships, triumphs, and perhaps a little Hollywood mischief. In my opinion, it’s a place where people from the industry can combat loneliness and create meaningful connections. I have never seen anything so blessed. The Woodland Hills Campus was founded and opened in 1945 by Jean Hersholt. MPTF received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an Academy Award honor in 2021 during Covid for the work they did to take care of people in the industry. Over the decades, countless legends and beloved industry veterans have resided at MPTF Country Home including: Bud Abbott, Mary Astor, Buster Keaton, Jack Klugman, Eileen Brennan, Roddy McDowall, Robert Preston, Lew Ayres, Van Johnson, and many others—more to come on the many faces that lined the hallways. Walking the grounds, you can’t help but wonder about the stories these walls could tell. A little piece of Hollywood’s golden age is still alive here—and I felt incredibly lucky to get a glimpse inside. The Woodland Campus includes residential and healthcare facilities offering a plethora of services. Among this beautiful oasis, was the John Ford Chapel—a stunning little piece of Hollywood history tucked away on the campus, owned by Ford and dedicated in his memory. This snow-white, non-denominational space is a place where visitors can sit, reflect, and remember the entertainment community. Walking into the 50-60 seat chapel felt like stepping into a quieter, more personal chapter of Hollywood’s golden age. More to come on this extremely fascinating haven over the next few days, including my visit with 96-year-old resident, Helen Richman, widow to the late actor and most talented artist, Peter Mark Richman.

I had the absolute privilege of meeting the larger-than-life 5’ tall legend, Dolly Parton, during an interview, and I will always treasure that experience. She was classy, wonderfully sassy—and then some. Dolly had that rare gift of making everyone feel special, bringing joy, kindness, humor, and so much heart to everything she did. During our interview at Matteo’s in LA, she looked at me and said, “God, you’re so pretty.” We laughed, but I will always remember receiving that compliment from a woman who was herself such a stunning beauty. Meeting Dolly was an unforgettable moment in my career and a memory I’ll carry with me forever. Dolly’s beloved husband, Carl Dean, died on March 3, 2025, at age 82. She spoke lovingly about their 60-year marriage and the profound place he held in her life. When his health declined, she put family and caregiving ahead of some of her own priorities. After his passing, she continued working, channeling her grief into music and creativity. Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the laughter, the generosity, and for showing the world you can be both a powerhouse and a sweetheart. You put the “Tinsel” in “Tinseltown.” RIP and farewell to a true original. There will never be another Dolly. You will always be loved, admired, and remembered. #DollyParton #Legend #ClassyAndSassy #Unforgettable #ThankYouDolly Share our message and join Trumpettes USA: trumpettesusa.com

Every primary lately feels less like an election and more like dinner and a show...where no one likes each other, everyone has had one too many cocktails, and somebody brought up politics before the appetizers arrived. Republicans are arguing over who gets the biggest piece of the pie. Democrats are arguing over how to divide the pie. Democratic Socialists are arguing why anybody needs to own a piece of the pie because they’d rather share a pie that someone else paid for. My great state of Florida’s Primary is up next, and the Sunshine State is about to serve the main course—with a side of political ads, campaign promises, and enough drama to make reality TV look like C-SPAN. Folks, grab your popcorn and chill the wine. Florida promises, “You haven’t seen anything yet!” Share our message and join Trumpettes USA: trumpettesusa.com ...
