The 1975 continued their At Their Very Best tour with a massive show at NYC’s Madison Square Garden last night. However, in the days leading up to the show, lead singer Matty Healy had been making waves online for his… interesting onstage behavior. Healy had put on an oxygen mask and performed what we can only describe as a strange, sexually-charged moment that had fans torn. Is this allowed? The following night, he performed push-ups shirtless in front of a video of controversial figure Andrew Tate.

Given the viral moments, fans were wondering what exactly Healy would incorporate into their MSG show. The answer? All of the above… and even more. While Healy’s oxygen scene (or, “performance art” as he called it) wasn’t as intense as past shows, he did go full method for the push-ups. The concert, which was streamed on Twitch, saw a stagehand bring Healy what appears to be a giant piece of raw meat — which he proceeded to eat.

Then, the fitness began. Healy performed push-ups in front of a television montage of former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, Mark Zuckerberg, Bored Ape NFTs, and… Rey from the recent Star Wars trilogy. While it was intended as some sort of social commentary on masculinity and society, many were at least partially disturbed by Healy’s meat moment.

Jimmy Kimmel has never missed an opportunity to sh*t all over Donald Trump for the many, many (MANY) terrible things he has done — both in and out of office. And it turns out that all that MAGA vitriol may have lost Kimmel about half his audience — a statistic the late-night host was proud to share while appearing on the Naked Lunch podcast last week.

When ABC executives reportedly asked Kimmel to tone down his anti-Trump rhetoric, he stood his ground and told them to replace him if they wanted.

While it’s Kimmel who was the clear winner in his fight to do the show the way he wants to, Trump, meanwhile, has been taking a victory lap to celebrate how he “destroyed” late-night TV as we know it. And the former president has clearly been listening to Kimmel’s response, because he mentioned him by name at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night. “It turns out Fiberace gave me a shout-out during one of his blue-collar comedy tours,” Kimmel explained on Monday night, “and I have to say: Sometimes it feels like he doesn’t like me that much.”

While stumping for his fellow Republicans in Latrobe, Pennsylvania over the weekend, Trump boasted about how “all these people who don’t like us are dying. I saw Jimmy Kimmel said that his show is practically dead because nobody that likes Trump will watch. And guess what? That turned out to be a majority of the people. The show is dead. And so are the other ones.” Which had Kimmel laughing, and ready to fire back:

That’s right. Our show is dead. Our show is so dead he’s going to bury it next to his ex-wife at one of his golf courses. You know what’s dead? I’ll tell you what’s dead: All those endangered animals your chinless sons shot, that’s what’s dead. You know what’s dead? The look in your wife’s eyes when you beg her for sex on your birthday.

And I will say: In January, our show will have been on for 20 years. You got kicked out after four, ok? I’m on television; you’re on the toilet at your golf club screaming at yours.

Kimmel also couldn’t help but note the irony that Trump was calling him out while at a rally for Dr. Oz, who the host described as “a total phony.” You can watch the full clip — including a personal story about a dinner Kimmel once had with Oz and a story he told him about Trump — above, beginning around the :30 minute mark.

In 2019, the man who invented the Labradoodle called the hybrid pup his “life’s regret,” noting that he “opened a Pandora’s box and released a Frankenstein’s monster” that has resulted in the unethical breeding of various other “designer dogs.” The way Trevor Noah sees it, Oprah Winfrey might just know what that feels like. Because, despite her many wonderful contributions to the world, she’s also largely responsible for Dr. Mehmet Oz — which doesn’t seem to be among her proudest achievements.

Last Thursday, Oprah participated in a virtual event where she admitted that, “[I]f I lived in Pennsylvania, I would’ve already cast my vote for John Fetterman, for many reasons.” It was a major bombshell — one that had Noah saying “Wow!” And not just because she was throwing her support behind Fetterman, but because “she came out against Dr. Oz — the man she created. The TV doctor she made famous.” Ultimately, however, Noah didn’t seem terribly surprised that Oprah refused to back her own horse:

“And that’s always how it goes, people. At some point in life, you have to kill the monster you create. Yeah, Dr. Frankenstein and his Creature. Obi-Wan and Anakin. Parents and their kids. Every parent knows the day will eventually come where you have to fight your children to the death to determine who will control the remote control.”

Noah might have felt badly for the quack TV doctor, knowing that having his mentor turn on him was probably a heartbreaking experience. Fortunately, he’s sure Dr. Oz has some sort of fake medicinal cure for it.

Welp. That was fun while it lasted. Drake and 21 Savage’s cheeky rollout for their album Her Loss certainly had its admirers, but not everybody has a sense of humor lately (especially not Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, if the thinly veiled analog from The Devil Wears Prada was even remotely accurate). TMZ reports the rappers’ Vogue cover troll has drawn the magazine’s legal department’s ire; Vogue has filed a lawsuit against them, saying that Vogue and Wintour “have not endorsed [Her Loss] in any way,” despite Drake thanking the EIC for her blessing on Instagram.

Drake and Savage promoted their fake cover with straight faces — along with an accompanying “What’s In My Bag” segment featuring 21 — confusing some fans into believing they were really on the October cover (even though the October issue had already hit newsstands). In reality, the duo’s street team (remember those!?) handed out copies of the phony magazine, which contained photoshopped features and ads putting the two rappers front and center. Still, Vogue isn’t laughing; the lawsuit reportedly demands at least $4 million in damages.

However, not every outlet took the campaign as seriously. NPR expressed enthusiasm for a potential Tiny Desk in response to the fake one, while Howard Stern praised the boys’ fake interview with him. COLORS Studio and SNL have yet to respond.

Update: COLORS didn’t have thoughts, but they certainly reacted.

Michael Jackson’s discography is full of songs that are timeless classics, one of which has been getting some increased attention lately: On the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated November 12), the 1982 favorite “Thriller” re-entered pretty high up, all the way near the top at No. 26.

As for why Jackson’s 40-year-old song is doing so well all this time later, it would seem the explanation is a seasonal uptick in interest due to Halloween.

On the Spotify Global Daily chart for October 31, “Thriller” had 1,947,543 plays, good for No. 51 on the chart. However, “Thriller – 2003 Edit” fared well, too, garnering an additional 1,769,662 streams and sliding into No. 63. Combined, the two versions had 3,717,205 plays that day, and if the versions had been lumped together in the rankings, they would have reached No. 13.

The two “Thriller” versions fared even better on the US chart: “Thriller” was No. 21 and the “2003 Edit” was No. 23. The versions’ combined 1,882,804 streams would have been good enough for No. 2 behind Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero.”

“Thriller” did well on Spotify’s weekly charts, too. On the Global chart dated November 3, only the base “Thriller” made the top 200, sliding in at No. 195 with 6,371,382 streams. In just the US, though, both versions charted, and combined, they would have hit No. 29 with 5,032,990 cumulative streams.

Revisit the song’s iconic video below.

Mean Girls is like a classic Seinfeld or The Simpsons episode, where nearly every line is a memorable quote. “Stop trying to make fetch happen.” “On Wednesdays we wear pink.” “Get in, loser. We’re going shopping.” But there’s one quote from the 2004 comedy that star Lindsay Lohan hears more than any other.

On Tuesday’s episode of GMA, the actress was asked to name the Mean Girls line that she gets “over and over again” from strangers. Lohan replied, “I get the ‘Lindsay, what day is it?’ and then I always fall for it. It’s October 3, like, they have to do it to me every time!” It’s probably better to hear that than “oh my god, Danny DeVito! I love your work!”

Lohan was on GMA to promote her wild-sounding Netflix movie, Falling for Christmas, which includes a cover of “Jingle Bell Rock,” the song she memorably performed with Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried in Mean Girls. “It wasn’t really suppose to happen like that, it was just a conversation,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh, this would be fun if we did the Mean Girls song.’ And after the movie was finally done editing, they were like, ‘But you promised you’d do the song!’ And I was like, ‘OK, let’s do it!’”

Lohan better not fall for “what day is it?” on Christmas, of all days.

Zac Efron has shared a first look at his new role in the A24 wrestling drama, The Iron Claw, based on the true life story of the Von Erich family. Efron will reportedly play Kevin Von Erich, one of the sons in the wrestling dynasty that was popular in the ’60s and ’70s and also may have been cursed.

In a new Instagram post, Efron shared a First Look at The Iron Claw, and it’s immediately clear that Efron went all out getting jacked for the role. The actor looks particularly shredded as he lays out a devastating move in the ring.

You can see Efron in The Iron Claw below:

As for the real Kevin Von Erich, he praised Efron’s commitment to the role after seeing his body transformation in a recent set of paparazzi photos. His daughters were also big fans of the casting choice.

“I saw a picture of the guy, he looked great,” Von Erich told TMZ. “I don’t think I ever looked that good. I just saw this picture and he looks really good and muscular. He must really be working out hard. … My daughters love him, and so they think he’s the right guy to do it.”

The Bear star Jeremy Allen White has also joined the production as Kerry Von Erich a.k.a. the “Texas Tornado.” Unfortunately, there is not a super jacked photo of White yet, but keep those fingers crossed.

Manifest Season 4 brought Flight 828’s mystery to Netflix, and with it, major changes happened for one character. In between all of the shuffling between NBC and Netflix, it seems that troubled twin Cal Stone touched an airplane wing, and that instantly aged him five years. Does that new five years now close the gap between himself and reality, all after every passenger missed five years due to a mystery blip? There’s no telling, but we’re here to talk about the new actor who’s playing Olive’s brother.

^^ Ty Doran ^^ is now stepping into the same shoes (albeit in a bigger size) that Jack Messina once filled as the young Cal. Messina has been sharing headlines about the sci-fi soap-opera’s return, which makes this all very bittersweet.

As it happens, Doran does look as though he could be an older Messina, so the change actually isn’t too jarring. Doran has been kicking around in Hollywood for a handful of years. He began with voice work and moved into guest roles on The Blacklist, Bull, and Chicago Fire. And he’ll bring home the final full season of Manifest, which will run at least 20 episodes with the first chunk already landing on November 4.

How this will all end for Cal remains a mystery. He suffered from seemingly grave health issues in earlier seasons and experienced particularly debilitating callings and high fevers. When Season 4 begins, he’s hiding from the public at large to avoid media and government scrutiny for his miraculous new stature. All of this is happening while the passengers collectively careen towards a June 2, 2024 death date, which I still maintain would be a cool day to drop the final batch of episodes. It seems doubtful that this is the actual plan, although it might have been the template laid out when showrunner Jeff Rake originally aimed for six seasons. At least Cal will get to experience some of it as a young adult, though.

Manifest‘s fourth season began streaming on November 4.

“Weird Al” Yankovic appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. With the help of Fallon himself and house band The Roots, Yankovic performed a medley of his greatest hits — including “Another One Rides The Bus,” “Eat It,” and more. Giving even more of a comedic spin, the group performed with only classroom instruments for children. Needless to say, it still ruled, even with a tiny accordion and xylophone.

Yankovic’s presence was in support of his recent biopic, which is currently streaming on Roku. Starring actor Daniel Radcliffe playing the accordion legend, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a zany, heightened portrayal of the musician’s life.

“It’s not a documentary, it’s inspired by real life,” Yankovic shared. “And there are enough nuggets of truth sprinkled throughout that I think you can call it a biopic in that sense. I’ve seen a few more biopics since my movie was done, and I still think, yeah, that’s not any less true than my movie.”

Along with the movie, Yankovic recently dropped a new song, “Now You Know.” Yankovic, along with Radcliffe and his co-star Evan Rachel Wood, had been campaigning for the single to get a submission to the Oscars. Roku, the streaming service, ultimately declined — as they are opting for Emmy nominations instead.

With millions of albums sold, multiple Grammy Awards to her name, and sold-out tour dates around the world; there is no denying Dua Lipa’s star power. But after dominating one industry, it is only natural to want to branch out and the “Levitating” singer is doing just that.

When Lipa’s not working on her upcoming album, the pop sensation produces a lifestyle newsletter Service95 and podcast Acts Of Service. If that wasn’t enough, the “Sweetest Pie” singer will be making her acting debut in spy thriller, Argylle, sometime next year via Apple TV+. However, her appearance in the film almost didn’t happen.

On the latest episode of her podcast, Lipa revealed her fear of stepping into the world of acting to guest Emmy-winning actor and producer Dan Levy. The Schitt’s Creek star asks Lipa whether or not she’s enjoys acting, to which she replied, “I did, I did. I had a really great time [on set], and it was really exciting. But I think for me, it’s baby steps.”

Lipa goes on to expand on her hesitation, stating, “I think my biggest thing would be taking on a really big role and be like, f*ck, now I have to be an actor and feel these emotions and feelings on camera when I haven’t brought myself up to that point yet.”

Nerves are natural especially when you’re on starring alongside Superman star Henry Cavill as well as veteran actors Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson, and Bryce Dallas Howard. On the other hand, if Dua Lipa’s acting skills are any where near as good as her music, we’re sure she’ll do just fine.
