SHB “Hollywood on Fire!” — Simon Cowell Joins Forces With Kimmel & Colbert to Launch ‘Truth News,’ Leaving Industry Titans in Panic Mode

Nobody in Hollywood saw this one coming — and that’s exactly how Simon Cowell wanted it.

In a move that insiders are calling “the biggest media shake-up in a decade,” the entertainment mogul has teamed up with Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert to back a new project titled “Truth News” — a raw, unfiltered media platform promising to “burn through the lies of the industry.”

The announcement hit social media like a bomb. Within hours, #TruthNews and #HollywoodMeltdown were trending worldwide.
Insiders say several major networks are “in full-blown panic mode,” fearing the trio’s influence could expose the darker side of the entertainment world — one that’s long hidden behind red carpets and PR smiles.

“This isn’t about ratings anymore,” Cowell reportedly said during a closed-door meeting in Los Angeles.
“It’s about taking back the truth — even if it burns the system down.”

Sources close to the project describe Truth News as a hybrid between investigative journalism and late-night satire — a no-holds-barred digital network that will air stories “Hollywood refuses to touch.”

Both Kimmel and Colbert, known for their sharp wit and unapologetic political jabs, are said to have signed on not just as hosts, but as executive producers — giving them full creative control.

Executives across traditional media are reportedly furious. One unnamed network CEO called the collaboration “a declaration of war.”

“If these three actually do what they’re promising,” the source added, “Hollywood’s PR machine won’t survive it.”

Rumors suggest the show’s pilot episode will feature a scathing exposé on celebrity cover-ups, media manipulation, and how “truth gets traded for ad dollars.”

Meanwhile, social media is ablaze with speculation — is this the beginning of a media revolution… or a very public act of rebellion from inside the system?

One insider put it bluntly:

“They’re not just launching a show. They’re lighting the fuse.”

And as Hollywood scrambles to contain the fallout, one thing’s certain —
the entertainment industry just met its biggest critics… and they’re coming from within.
