'Trump is your president': White house 'inserts' itself into Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding celebrations
The White House playfully spoofed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding announcement, altering a New York City billboard to read Trump is your president. This social media jab follows Donald Trump's own Eras Tour-inspired graphic and his history of public criticism towards Swift, particularly after her endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Kimmel’s Show Hits Trump Where It Hurts in Humiliating Roast
Anna Moneymaker / Getty ImagesJimmy Kimmel Live hit Trump where it hurts: by illustrating just how poorly attended his Great American State Fair celebrations were.The late-night show’s guest host, Tiffany Haddish, mocked the president for sparse crowds at the state fair, held by Trump’s Freedom 250 organization. Haddish, 46, began, “Trump said the event was going to be, and I quote, ‘packed to the brim.’ Well, let’s see how that worked out for him.” The show then panned to footage of near-empty spaces and stalls, somehow deemed by Fox News to be festivities “in full swing,” with “thousands of people” in attendance.

Kanye West 'desperately seeking relevance' with lavish Versailles birthday bash
‘Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered’ host Kinsey Schofield claims Kanye West is “desperately seeking relevance” after hosting a nearly $400,000 masquerade-themed birthday party at the Palace of Versailles. “I think it’s Kanye desperately seeking relevance again … he seems convinced that bigger, louder and more expensive automatically means more relevant; I don’t think that’s true anymore,” Ms Schofield told Sky News host James Morrow. “There was a time when he dominated the culture because he is a very talented musician, but today he typically dominates headlines because of this spectacle. “The fascination has faded for a lot of people, and a lavish birthday party at Versailles doesn’t erase the damage he’s done.”
