For women’s rights!

Scarlett Johannson, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, America Ferrera and a few other stars took to the streets to join hundreds of thousands of people protesting in favor of women's rights and equality a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States.

Johansson’s speech centred around Planned Parenthood. “For millions of Americans planned parenthood is often the only trustworthy and affordable clinic providing safe education, sex education, safe abortion and lifesaving services,” she said.


For the revolution of love 

Madonna lambasts US US President Trump

The Queen of Pop Madonna, who attended the Women's march in Washington, delivered a fiery speech to the hundreds of thousands gathered in the nation's capital, as she said she'd thought a lot about “blowing up the White House” since Donald Trump's election, but instead will choose love. "Can you hear me? Are you ready to shake up the world? Welcome to the revolution of love," Madonna told the marchers. "To the rebellion, to our refusal as women to accept this new age of tyranny. Where not just women are in danger, but all marginalized people," reports The Washington Post. "It took this horrific moment of darkness to wake us up," Madonna continued. —ANI


Ashley attacks too 

I am a nasty woman: Ashley Judd attacks ‘Hitler' Trump

Actress Ashley Judd too raised eyebrows for her rant against the new President. The Hollywood actress and the pop star departed from the general spirit of inclusivity and calls for mutual respect with personal attacks not only on Trump but also his family, including daughter Ivanka. Ashley read a poem by 19-year-old Nina Donovan from her home state of Tennessee. “I am a nasty woman,” the poem began. “Not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust, a man whose words are a dis to America, Electoral College-sanctioned hate speech.” “I feel Hitler in these streets,” the poem continued, “Nazis renamed.” Another line referenced Trump's past comments about the attractiveness of his daughter. —ANI


Shout out by Pee Cee!

Priyanka supports anti-Trump women’s march 

Actress Priyanka Chopra extended her support for the women's march here, a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the US President. But the 34-year-old actress was not physically present in the protest due to her shooting schedule. "So proud of all my sisters and the men that are at the women's march. I'm so upset I couldn't go. Girl love, women's rights are human rights," Priyanka posted on Twitter. The actress is in Los Angeles to resume the filming of her Hollywood debut Baywatch, which also stars Dwayne Johnson, Zack Efron and Alexandra Daddario. She posted a side-profile selfie on her Instragram account after she landed. "And we're back! LA LA... again... let's go! Always rushed for time...” she captioned the image.  —IANS
