With a hefty stack of hit songs under her belt, Chappell Roan had her pick of what she’d play during her inaugural turn on “SNL.” But after performing the anthemic “Pink Pony Club” for her first song, Roan instead played a brand-new song for her second performance of the night. How new? It’s so new we don’t even know the title of the song yet — it might be titled “She Gets the Job Done.” The country-tinged song is certainly different from Roan’s other hits, with a fiddle front-and-center and some twang in her voice. But it’s still a Chappell…

At a Halloween night stop on Tucker Carlson’s national tour, Donald Trump joined Carlson on stage for an hour-and-a-half conversation that included many of his usual talking points — but also some striking remarks imagining Liz Cheney being sent to war and shot at. After criticizing Cheney for regularly pushing for the United States to engage militarily overseas, Trump said that he didn’t blame her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, “for sticking with his daughter.” “But his daughter’s a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said of Liz Cheney, to laughs from the crowd. “She’s a radical war hawk….

Jimmy Kimmel had some simple advice for Donald Trump during his monologue on Wednesday: “When you find yourself having to tell people, ‘I’m not Hitler,’ something is wrong.” Kimmel was referring to a rally where Trump insisted, “I’m not Hitler,” due to the number of former associates who have confirmed his admiration for dictators and for Hitler in particular. Here’s a clip: Trump: "I'm not Hitler" — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.bsky.social) 2024-10-30T18:05:13.863Z But back to Kimmel, who said, “when your wife has to answer questions about her husband being a Hitler, it might be time to reel it in a bit.”…

As the LA Times remains gripped in a crisis caused by owner Patrick Soon-Shiong preventing the paper from endorsing Kamala Harris for president, a similar potential scandal may be brewing across the country at the Washington Post. With just 10 days left before the 2024 election, the Washington Post has yet to endorse anyone for president. It’s a conspicuous silence considering the stakes, and even more so because the venerable paper has endorsed a presidential candidate in every election since 1980 with the sole exception of 1988. On Wednesday, Oliver Darcy reported that WaPo has in fact already written an…

There were great cinema composers before John Williams and there will be great composers after him. And yet, through his seven-decade career, he towers over everyone else. His music is not only iconic, but the movies we revere as classics wouldn’t have acquired such legendary status if not for his scores. “Jaws” without John Williams isn’t “Jaws.” “Star Wars” without John Williams isn’t “Star Wars.” Although he only handles the music, the composer has left such a mark on cinema history that he makes a case as co-author of some of Hollywood’s biggest triumphs. Director Laurent Bouzerau gives the full…
