Donald Trump can add winning the Nobel Piece of Sh*t prize to his long list of accomplishments. It’ll look great next to his Michigan’s Man of the Year award that doesn’t exist.
On Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel tore into the former president for his comments this week on Israel. “Donald Trump is getting crazier by the day, he really is. Last night, he addressed the horrific terrorist attack on Israel by attacking Israel.” In his “doozy of a speech,” Trump claimed that “Hamas would never have gone into Israel if his election hadn’t been rigged, he called Israel’s defense minister a ‘jerk,’ he did some axe grinding about [Israel prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, and had some complimentary words about Israel’s enemies in Lebanon.” Kimmel added, “He’s really angling for that Nobel Piece of Sh*t Prize.”
Israel’s communications minister Shlomo Karhi condemned Trump’s comments, telling Channel 13 that “we don’t have to bother with him and the nonsense he spouts.” Unfortunately, Kimmel quipped, “we do have to bother with it.” Later, after playing a clip of Trump calling militant group Hezbollah “very smart,” the host joked, “Poor Eric. Trump never said he was smart.”
Al Michaels has been one of the most esteemed commentators in all of sports for decades, with a storied career that dates back to the 1970s. Even still, that doesn’t mean the 78-year-old icon immune to slip-ups or awkward moments, like one he faced while talking about Taylor Swift’s presence at yesterday’s (October 12) Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs game.
Swift is of course rumored to be dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce, but neither she nor Kelce have outright confirmed that, so Michaels tried his best to tread lightly when discussing the pop star’s relationship status. At one point during the broadcast, though, he found himself seemingly unsure what to say.
While calling the game for Amazon Prime’s coverage, Swift was shown on screen and Michaels said, “And of course, looking on, is… his… well, at the moment… his good buddy and girlfriend… Taylor Swift.”
“Looking on, is… [Travis Kelce’s]… at the moment… his good buddy and girlfriend.”- Al Michaels on Taylor Swift pic.twitter.com/2kxkvf3cxf
Before the game, Michaels told Sports Illustrated‘s Jimmy Traina (as The Score notes) about Amazon’s plan to cover Swift, saying, “What we’re gonna do tonight: everything in moderation. Our crew talked about it this morning. You can’t make a sideshow the show. The vast majority of the audience are tuning in to watch a football game. There are people — I don’t know how many, it could be a sizable number, but it’s certainly not a majority — that if you trained the camera on her all night long, they’d be satisfied with that. This is not what we’re doing.”
Meanwhile, Michaels recently turned heads in the sports world by claiming he, in his 78-plus years on Earth, has never knowingly eaten a vegetable.
(WARNING: Spoilers for the most recent Power Book IV: Force episode will be found below.)
The tides are turning in Chicago and the waves are getting bigger too in season two of Power Book IV: Force. With Vic Flynn by their side, Jenard back in the picture, and his crew reuniting with CBI, Tommy Egan and Diamond push full steam ahead in their takeover of the Chicago drug game. The duo makes two major moves in this week’s episode titled “Chicago Is Heating Up.” First, they convince Miguel to cut off the supply of drugs to the Serbs in retaliation for the Crimson Projects attack. Miguel agrees, leading to the second move: teaming up with the Division Street Devils. Though Tommy gets his car shot in the process, he’s able to convince the leader of the DSD to join the coalition that Tommy and Diamond have formed throughout Chicago. Yet, on their return from the meeting, Tommy discovers a cop has been tailing them, the same one he noticed earlier in the day. He then sees Vic and the cop having a conversation and forces Vic to kill the cop to prove that he’s not a snitch, which Vic does.
The police being on their tails is not the only thing that Tommy and Diamond have to worry about. Jenard and Shanti still have a plan in motion to take out Tommy and they’ve made progress on it. Shanti secures a deal with Claudia to help her move product in high places in Chicago, like exclusive strip clubs. Their 50/50 split means that she and Jenard have more money coming their way that they can just keep for themselves and not have to split with anyone. Jenard, on the other hand, makes the big discovery of finding out that Tommy and Mireya, Miguel’s little sister, are now dating and he has photo evidence to prove it. Though his initial instinct is to put Tommy on blast, Shanti suggests that they wait for a better moment to use the photo.
Speaking of relationships, things between Tommy and Mireya are going well for the most part. The only downside is the elephant in the room which is Miguel. The two almost get caught by Miguel when he makes a surprise visit to Tommy’s house, but luckily they are not discovered. Mireya is worried about Miguel finding out about her and Tommy as Miguel killed the last person who worked with him that dated Mireya. Again, Tommy reassures her that nothing will happen to him and that seems to calm her fears. On the flip side, Diamond finally shoots his shot with Gianna, Leon’s mother, and it’s nothing but net. Turns out the interest is mutual and it led to a very intimate night together between the two after Diamond delivered a great speech to his community of which Leon and Gianna were in attendance. Oh, then there’s Claudia who’s enjoying a blast from the past as her longtime friend returned to keep her company after Walter’s death, but feelings have grown greatly since her arrival.
Okay, that’s your recap for the week. Let’s see who made of top five Power Players of the week like based on the events that went down in the “Chicago Is Heating Up” episode.
5. Claudia
STARZ
In “Chicago Is Heating Up,” Claudia is just getting back on her feet after being cut out from the Flynn family organization. She reconnects with an old friend, who turns out to be her new love interest, and sets out to re-establish herself in the drug world. Claudia ends up at an exclusive strip club where she learns that pills are being sold there. She’s able to work out a new deal to sell her own product there and she initially reaches out to Jenard to strike a deal in collaboration to move the product in the club. He turns it down, but in this episode, Shanti reaches out to Claudia to make a deal. The two eventually agree on a 50/50 split which effectively puts Claudia back in the game, and by the looks of the money she and Shanti made on their first night, it seems this will be a nice win for Claudia. It would’ve been a better look for Claudia if she put the deal together, but her profit makes up for it.
4. Jenard
STARZ
Jenard is back in CBI and he’s a clean man as well. He’s struggling through withdrawal from his brief bout with heroin, but he seems focused on staying off the drugs and on making the most of his opportunity in CBI. This week’s episode makes it clear that he still has a goal of taking down Tommy, and now he has the ammo to do just that. While parked outside of Tommy’s place, Jenard sees Mireya arrive and go inside Tommy’s house, but not before giving Tommy a kiss which Jenard captured on camera. Tommy and Mireya’s relationship is not something they want Miguel, her older brother, to discover. Still, with the evidence in Jenard’s hand, he now has the leverage to get the upper hand and then some with Tommy. It all depends on how he plays it.
3. Shanti
STARZ
Shanti has emerged as a bit of a mastermind in the second half of Power Book II: Force season two and that couldn’t be more apparent in “Chicago Is Heating Up.” While Jenard turned down Claudia’s deal to work with her, Shanti saw it as an opportunity to make money for herself and Jenard that wouldn’t be tied to CBI and more specifically, Tommy. Shanti worked her way to a 50/50 split and made sure that Claudia would keep quiet about the deal so that their partnership and her position in CBI could coexist. Lastly, when Jenard shows her the picture of Tommy and Mireya kissing, she suggests that he hold on tight to the image as it could become more useful to them in the future. For someone who was quiet at the beginning of the season, Shanti is not one to sleep on as she has the cards and the brains to make some really big moves to close the season.
2. Tommy
STARZ
One-half of the lover boys in this season of Power Book IV: Force is keeping their relationship alive for as long as they can. Tommy and Mireya are going to steady as the opening scene of “Chicago Is Heating Up” proves. Still, the elephant in the room for both of them is the possibility of Miguel finding out, which nearly happened just a few seconds later as Miguel paid a surprise visit to Tommy and his apartment, coincidentally while Mireya was there. Though they escaped that situation unscathed, trouble is on the horizon for them as Jenard snapped a picture of Tommy and Mireya sharing a kiss. Whether he decides to show that picture to Miguel or use it as blackmail remains to be seen, but either way, it’s not good for Tommy.
The good for Tommy comes when he notices that the feds are tailing him and eventually the murder of one of the officers thanks to Vic who decided that his loyalty to Tommy was more important than his loyalty to Stacy. He was also able to convince Miguel to cut off the Serbs which makes it easier for him and Diamond to work towards their goal of taking over Chicago. With the cop and the Serbs out of the way, it’s one less person looking for Tommy which gives him one more second to breathe. It’ll also cause the feds to back down, but the heat is only going to turn up for Mr. Egan.
1. Diamond
STARZ
Our other lover boy, Diamond, had a great week thanks to “Chicago Is Heating Up.” For a few weeks now, he’s been looking to capture the attention of Gianna, Leon’s mother. Finally, he was able to do so this week and it came after a speech he had to give to his community. His parole officer instructed Diamond to give a speech about his past and “reformed” present. Despite some hesitations, Diamonds agrees to give the speech with the knowledge that it will help his parole officer back off of him and reduce the random checks and drug testing. Diamond impresses the crowd with his speech, and amongst them is Gianna and Leon. He uses this opportunity to ask Gianna out on a date and she accepts, but their night together doesn’t go as planned. Rather than dinner, Gianna suggests that they stay inside, and instead, they end their night with a very intimate moment together. Diamond scored the lady he wanted the most, gave a great speech, and got his parole officer off his back. Perfect week if I have to say so myself.
New episodes of ‘Power Book IV: Force’ are available on the STARZ app on Fridays at 12:00 am ET/PT and on the STARZ TV channel at 8:00 pm ET/PT.
We are just a week away from Blink-182‘s new album, One More Time. One More Time marks the band’s first album in four years, and their 10th overall. It’s also their first album with their classic line-up — Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, and Travis Barker — since 2011’s Neighborhoods. Ahead of the album, Blink-182 has shared a new single, “Fell In Love.”
On “Fell In Love,” Hoppus, the band’s lead vocalist recalls memories of his wife and their earliest encounters, replaying poignant vignettes in his head.
“Do you remember the time when we first met? / You were at a party with your ex / I said, ‘Hello,’ then I got drunk / Do you remember the time we fell in love? / Do you remember the night when you came over? / Playin’ songs, layin’ on my shoulder / We made out till the sun came up / Do you remember the time, remember the time we fell in love?,” Hoppus sings on the song’s chorus.
As Blink-182 has made a big comeback over the past year, with performances at Coachella and a critically acclaimed tour, anticipation for their new album is high.
In the meantime, you can listen to “Fell In Love” above.
One More Time is out 10/20 via Columbia Records. Find more information here.
Lil Durk undoubtedly had one of the biggest hits of the summer. His J. Cole collaboration “All My Life” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and certainly made a cultural impact within the realm of hip-hop. After their first live performance of the song together last month at iHeart Radio Festival, the song shows to have longevity months after its release. Tonight (October 13), Durk and Cole have opted to take their song international with a fresh new remix pack.
In the remix pack are two new versions of “All My Life,” one featuring K-Pop group Stray Kids, and another with Afro-fusion superstar Burna Boy.
Burna opens the new version of the song, rapping about his rise to fame, going from a Nigerian staple to an international sensation.
“Head f*cked up as a young buck / Seven years couldn’t leave my continent / Came to America, sell out stadiums and turn up / At any time,” says Burna on his verse.
Durk and Cole’s verses remain the same as the verse on the original, but thankfully, many fans lauded these bars from the jump.
You can listen to the “All My Life” remix above.
Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
It looks like a new era of Ice Spice is upon us. The New York rapper kicked off the year with her debut EP, Like…?, which spawned hits like “In Ha Mood,” “Princess Diana,” and “Deli,” the lattermost appearing on a deluxe edition of the EP. As Ice has been slaying the charts, fans are anxious for a full-length body of work. Could her debut album be on the way? Tonight (October 13), she has teamed up with Afro-fusion superstar Rema for a new song called “Pretty Girl.”
On the song, Ice finds herself captivated by a man. However, she lays down the law from the jump, letting him know that she’s the one calling the shots.
“I’m the one that got a lot of bands / Who you become, I know that dеpends ” raps Ice on her verse.
Rema delivers a charming chorus as he falls under the woman’s gravity.
“You are my real flex / Oya, gimme promise / You ain’t gonna bail on me,” he sings on the hook.
Offset‘s second solo album, Set It Off is finally here. On the new album, the former Migo reflects on his career, and while he’s faced some adversity, he is grateful for how his hard work has paid off. On a track called “Say My Grace,” Offset teams up with Travis Scott, and they both indulge in their riches.
“Made room on my plate, I just said my grace and then I ate / Got a particular taste / I just stuffed my pockets and my face,” raps Offset on the song’s chorus.
On his verse, Offset finds himself talking to God, alluding to the death of his Migos bandmate Takeoff, as well as his grandmother. While he finds that his faith has been tested in recent times, he continues to move forward, keeping his foot on the gas.
Scott pops in, detailing how his reaped the fruits of his labor.
“I filled up the crib with cars, the halls, with all and all, and I’m still having space / Got a particular taste, picky eater, I guess, but I’m still stuffing my face,” raps Scott on his verse.
You can see the video for “Say My Grace” above.
Set It Off is out now via Quality Control/Motown. Find more information here.
Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist known for epic works such as”War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina.” His life experiences—from witnessing war to spiritual quests—profoundly influenced his writings and gave him profound insights into the human soul.
His understanding of emotions, motivations and moral dilemmas has made his work stand the test of time, and it still resonates with people today.
“The more intelligent a person is, the more he discovers kindness in others,” Tolstoy once wrote. “For nothing enriches the world more than kindness. It makes mysterious things clear, difficult things easy, and dull things cheerful.”
Intelligent people are kind #intelligent #intelligence #kindness #smart #tolstoy #men #women
De Medeiros boiled down Tolstoy’s thoughts into a simple statement: “Intelligent people are unafraid to be kind.” He then took things a step further by noting that Tolstoy believed in the power of emotional intelligence. “To have emotional intelligence is to see the good in other people, that is what Tolstoy meant, that to be intelligent is to be kind,” he added.
It seems that, according to de Medeiros, Tolstoy understood that intelligent people are kind and perceptive of the kindness in others. The intelligent person is conscious of the kindness within themselves and in the world around them.
Through the words of Tolstoy, de Medeiros makes a point that is often overlooked when people talk about intelligence. Truly smart people are as in touch with their hearts as they are with their minds.
You could say that Patrick Renna has found his niche in lighthearted sports humor.
Back in the 90s, the actor played the forever quotable character Ham in “The Sandlot,” followed by his role of a scene-stealing goalie in “The Big Green.”
And now, at the age of 44 and a father of two, Renna is still bringing a little laughter to the sports world…one dance move at a time.
Back in 2022, Renna and his two best friends —brothers Caige and Cru Moore—went viral for their interpretive NFL theme song dance, based on choreography created by other social media sensations Austin and Marideth Telenko (better known as Cost n’ Mayor).
The clip was so popular that the NFL on Prime Video’s official account reached out to ask why their theme song wasn’t included. Renna and the gang were ready to right the wrong.
According to an interview with Good Morning America, dancing on TikTok had been a suggestion of one of Renna’s Gen Z friends. Knowing he would never do something like that alone, he enlisted the help of Caige and Cru to make their “Chubby Ginger” dance crew.
They also get some choreography help from more dance inclined friends, of course. Like Renna’s childhood friends and actress Lynsey Moore, who “dumbs down” the moves and “yells at [them] for an hour straight to get it together and be in sync,” he told GMA.
Sometimes they even get help from mega pop stars like….I dunno… LIZZO.
That’s right. After the group’s “About Damn Time” routine got 10.7 million views, the singer reached out herself and offered to give them a hand on nailing some of the moves.
And hey, if you prefer to just bask in nostalgia, Renna also has a few videos reliving some of those fan favorite movie moments.
It’s always nice to see when the kid actors from our beloved childhood movies grow up to live healthy, wholesome lives. And Renna certainly seems to be one of those, happy to do whatever dance people throw his way…except maybe the truffle shuffle.
John Cena is one of the most beloved celebrity wrestlers and actors, but it’s not because of his wrestling or his acting. In addition to being generous and kind, he has a likeability that’s hard to ignore. He embodies so much effortless charm and charisma that even people who have never watched a moment of WWE know who he is and say, “Oh yeah, that guy. He seems so nice.”
So seeing John Cena sitting in a suit for a proper tea with a British grandmother is already a delight before either of them even open their mouths. Then their conversation begins, and it’s about as wholesome as it gets.
Cena is known for his “You can’t see me” hand wave move, which he had to explain to a fan’s grandma when she said, “Do you know, my granddaughter, who is an avid fan, said that I wouldn’t be able to see you?”
“I can explain,” he said. And then he did, in the most granny-friendly way possible.
“So, I’m a bit of a rabble rouser,” he began, to which Grandma—who looks quite a bit like Cloris Leachman—smiled and responded, “How exciting!”
Seriously, too precious.
“And one of the things that younger people know me for is this ridiculous dance maneuver where I wave my hand in front of my face and I say, ‘You can’t see me,'” Cena continued. “But I don’t say it like that, I say, ‘YOU CAN’T SEE ME.'”
John Cena explains ‘You Can’t See Me’ to a granny 😂👵 #johncena #youcantseeme #johncenameme #wwe #playingwithfire #fyp #foryoupage
With over 5 millions views, the video is a huge hit, with people sharing jokes about Cena and/or Granny disappearing and their general love for John Cena.
“He’s just such a delightful man. He’s funny, he’s charming, and he never takes himself too seriously,” shared one commenter.
“I have never in my entire life managed to be that charming,” shared another.
“I have absolutely no interest in wrestling but this man is adorable,” wrote another.
Sometimes you just need a little clip of John Cena pouring tea and calling himself a “rabble rouser” to bring some joy to your day.
