Rumors in rap circles have been swirling about 21 Savage and Latto perhaps being the next rap power couple. But 21 Savage seemed to deny those rumors this week in a Clubhouse chat.
21 Savage was going off about the latest flurry of news regarding his beef (fake?) with Nas. 21 Savage’s shot heard ’round the world on Nas was highlighted by him saying, “I don’t feel like he’s relevant, he just has a loyal ass fanbase and he still makes good-ass music.” Eventually, though, the pair ended up dropping a collab track two weeks later in “One Mic, One Gun.”
In his latest Clubhouse appearance, 21 Savage tried to defend his character after being accused of using the Nas incident for publicity and apparently set the record straight on him and Latto in the process. “I don’t do all the antics and sh*t,” he said. “I don’t got a celebrity girlfriend. I’m not fittna be out everywhere. I’m not dropping music every other week. I’m not going on [Instagram] Live talking about n****s every other week.”
Latto would certainly qualify as a “celebrity girlfriend.” The former Uproxx cover star was just nominated for her first Grammy Awards this year, including a Best New Artist nom. So you can be the judge of whether you think 21 Savage and Latto are dating or not based on those comments. But if his words seem as thinly-veiled means to another end as they did with “One Mic, One Gun,” he might just be trying to keep a potential relationship on the low.
Leah Remini isn’t holding back her thoughts after Danny Masterson‘s rape was declared a mistrial. The former King of Queens star and outspoken Scientology critic vowed to never stop exposing the church’s alleged crimes. Remini, who was a lifelong member of the church, raised awareness of the sexual assault allegations against Masterson. After years of reports on the subject, That ’70s Show star being charged with multiple counts of rape in Los Angeles.
However, Masterson’s trial resulted in a deadlocked jury this week, and a new trial has been tentatively scheduled for March. In a statement posted within hours of the mistrial announcement, Remini issued a statement to Scientology leader David Miscaviage, and she accused the church of covering up Masterson’s alleged assaults.
My statement on the mistrial in the Danny Masterson rape case.
David Miscavige, I know you read my tweets.
There is nothing you can do to intimidate me into silence and I will not stop fighting you and the evil, criminal enterprise you control. pic.twitter.com/GU9Jpar3FH
“I want to remind everyone that when you’re a Scientologist, you are strictly forbidden from reporting crimes to civil authorities that other Scientologists commit against you,” Remini wrote. “You are ordered only to report things to internal Scientology authorities… These women did what they were told to do. They reported their rapes to internal Scientology authorities. And after they did that, they were not only blamed and abused; they were told that they weren’t raped and ordered them never to use the word ‘rape’ again.”
Remini took things even further by alleging that Masterson is just one of many examples of Scientology covering up crimes committed by its members. “They have done this many other times in cases of rape and other sexual misconduct.”
Remini also made it a point to tout the bravery of Masterson’s accusers. “My heart breaks for the women who have courageously and tirelessly fought for justice for over five years,” she wrote. “For years, they have been targeted and harassed by Scientology and its agents. They have also been targeted and harassed by their family members and friends who remained in Scientology.”
When we think about holiday gift giving, we’re over wrapping up socks and sweaters for our friends and family members. Instead, we opt for a gift they’ll actually want: a bottle of booze, specifically some nice Scotch whisky. In our opinion, there are few gifts that say “happy holidays” quite like a bottle of single malt or blended Scotch whisky. As a bonus, it’s a great way to get a loved one excited about a distillery or expression that you enjoy.
Before you just randomly go out and purchase the first pricy bottle you run across at your local liquor store, you should at least think a little bit about what the person receiving the gift might enjoy. Do you think they’ll enjoy smoky, peaty whiskies? Well, look for bottles from Islay. How about softer whiskies with notes of honey and heather? Grab a bottle of whisky from the Highlands. Do you think they have a bit of a sherried sweet tooth? Speyside whiskies should fit that bill.
Still need a little help? Don’t worry. The experts are here to help. We asked a few distillers and spirits professionals to tell us the Scotch whiskies they’ll be gifting this holiday season. Please keep reading to see all of their answers. Maybe you’ll get some inspiration for your brother or sister-in-law who seems to have everything.
Glenmorangie The Nectar d’Or
Glenmorangie
Daniel Nguyen, founder of Sông Cái Distillery in Đông Dư, Gia Lâm, Hà Nội, Vietnam
Glenmorangie The Nectar d’Or makes a terrific gift. I love Sauternes so a Sauternes cask-finished scotch immediately appealed to me. The expressive, creamy honey notes layered on the malt base are so indicative of Glenmorangie and did not disappoint. It’s great in cocktails or served neat and has a particularly abundant feel that fits quite well into the holiday season.
Tasting Notes:
A lot is going on with this whisky’s palate. Honey, dried fruits, brown sugar, vanilla beans, candied orange peel, and light spices are highlights.
Longrow Peated
Longrow
Dylan Carney, head distiller at Savage and Cooke in Vallejo, California
Longrow Peated from Springbank has been a favorite since the year and a half I spent living in Scotland. I find it has the intensity of peat smoke I like without bullying out the other flavors in the whisky. Every couple of months, my partner and I will go to Tomales Bay, buy a dozen oysters each, and have a picnic on the water. The contents of the picnic basket shift seasonally, but Longrow is always a must.
Tasting Notes:
The balanced peat smoke and rich body make a fantastic pair with oysters. Or if you aren’t enjoying oysters, it makes for a great, smoky, complex giftable single malt.
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie
Bruichladdich
Caley Shoemaker, co-founder and master distiller at Altar Spirits in Santa Fe, Mexico
Bruichladdich creates some really fantastic expressions focused on the flavors of the barley used to make it. I love sharing these, especially with beer enthusiasts or other distillers, because they showcase the grain in such an elegant way. One of its best and most giftable is Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie.
Tasting Notes:
Flavors include candy apples, cinnamon sugar, vanilla beans, honey, and gentle baking spices. The finish is sweet, spicy, and highly memorable.
Dalwhinnie 15-Year
Dalwhinnie
Jason Barrett, founder and master Distiller of Black Button Distilling in Rochester, New York
Dalwhinnie 15-Year is a great Scotch whisky to give a friend or loved one as a gift. It’s just easy and approachable. Part of Diageo’s Classic Malts range, it’s known for its mellow, soft, and highly complex flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
The palate is a complex mix of honey-roasted nuts, toasted vanilla beans, candied orange peels, caramel, and gentle, rich smoke.
Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Ardbeg
Meghan Ireland, head blender at WhistlePig in Shoreham, Vermont
Ardbeg’s Wee Beastie is a great single malt whisky for gifting this and every year. For those who love big and bold whiskies, this is a great choice. This five-year-old whisky is peat-smoked and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks.
Tasting Notes:
This highly complex whisky mixes sweetness, richness, and smokiness very well. Aromas and flavors include herbaceous, smoked meat, anise, and a soft creamy finish.
Aberfeldy 12-Year
Aberfeldy
Matt Chavez, a brand representative for Beefeater Gin and beverage director of Ci Siamo in New York City
I think the key to gifting scotch is to not gift something completely polarizing. I like heavily peated smoky whisky, though your friends may be on the entry-level side of tasting scotch. I go with something I love that is also approachable. Aberfeldy 12 fits that bill well.
Tasting Notes:
Aberfeldy 12 is a wonderful Scotch whisky with beautiful warm notes of honey, cocoa, Graham cracker, and the lightest touch of smoke. It’s perfect for holiday sipping.
Old Pulteney 15-Year
Old Pulteney
Max Hames, distillery operations manager at Sagamore Spirit in Baltimore
The briny coastal lineup of Old Pulteney, out of the northern town of Wick, will always be my standard as it brings me right back to my previous career as a commercial salmon gillnetter. Giving away a bottle of their 15-year-old scotch is like giving away a part of my past.
Tasting Notes:
Salted caramel, candy apples, vanilla beans, and gentle wintry spices round out this classic expression’s flavor profile.
Glenfarclas 105
Glenfarclas
Katy O’Donnell, national brand ambassador at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky
This is a mic drop of a bottle. The whisky landed in the Guinness Book of World Records in the 1970s as “the world’s strongest Scotch whisky.” The iconic spirit paved the way for Scotch expressions to be high-octane. This is the perfect gift as it is wrapped in history and garnished with impeccable flavor. This is an impressive scotch that will not break the bank but will impress a crowd. Best gift ever.
Tasting Notes:
The high proof allows an explosion of flavor from this whisky yet it stays true to the DNA of the brand with heavy flavors of sherry, stone fruit, and bitter orange.
Aberlour 12-Year Double Cask Matured is a great single malt whisky to give as a gift. It has a great balance with a very slight hint of sherry. Between the flavor profile and the price, it’s been my personal go-to at home for the last seven to eight years.
Tasting Notes:
Flavors of dried cherries, sweet sherry, vanilla, candied orange peels, and vanilla swirl throughout this whisky.
The Dalmore Cigar Malt
The Dalmore
Julian Flores Torres, bar manager at PALENQUE Kitchen in Costa Mesa, California
The Dalmore Cigar Malt would be the gift of choice here. I have quite a few friends who smoke cigars and the flavors found in this single malt scotch are made to go fantastically well with a cigar.
Tasting Notes:
The sherry notes both in the nose and palate bring out even more from your cigar as you sip along.
This popular single malt whiskey was first matured in traditional oak barrels for fourteen years before being finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. It’s a great gift for the whisky fan in your life.
Tasting Notes:
It’s balanced with a bit of sweet funk to win over inexperienced scotch drinkers the way it won me over when I was first learning about the category.
Mortlach 12-Year
Mortlach
Andrew Hueston, bartender at El Vez in Philadelphia
If you want a textbook, no messing around scotch that is valuable, and a great shelf trophy, I always go with Mortlach 12-Year “Wee Witchie”. For around $50 it’s probably the most approachable and interesting Scotch out there.
Tasting Notes:
A tiny bit sweet with some banana, butter, and raisin notes, Mortlach makes the perfect gift even if only for yourself.
Cardhu 12-Year
Cardhu
Liz Rhoades, head of whiskey development at Whistlepig in Shoreham, Vermont
Cardhu 12-Year is one of my go-to scotches, so naturally would share the joy with others this holiday season. This popular Speyside single malt is not only a great beginner Scotch whisky but the kind of bottle you’ll buy (or gift) again and again.
Tasting Notes:
This is a great gift because it’s an easy-going Scotch with notes of malt, honey, leather, and pear drop.
When David Harbour was asked to play Santa Claus in Violent Night, he had about the same reaction as everyone else did when they found out he was going to play Santa Claus, which was: wtf?
“My initial thoughts were like, ‘What the hell is this? I don’t know what you guys are talking about,’” Harbour told Variety at the premiere of Violent Night this week. “It was pitched to me as an action-comedy Christmas movie with Santa Claus at the center — who had a very different past and 10,000 years ago was a very different man — and that he has acquired a certain set of skills that he must use to fight bad guys in the future. I thought, ‘Wow, this is… I don’t know about this.’”
But once Harbour met with the film’s director Tommy Wirkola, his mind was changed, and he gladly accepted the role as Santa, but Liam Neeson in Taken. “There was something so special about the attempt that I thought, ‘Wow, if we can hit the right sweet spot with this, it’d be quite a leap — it’d be quite an achievement,’” Harbour said.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
An elite team of mercenaries breaks into a family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone hostage inside. However, they aren’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.
Along with Harbour, Violent Nightstars John Leguizamo, Cam Gigandet, Alex Hassell, Alexis Louder, Edi Patterson, Leah Brady, André Eriksen and Beverly D’Angelo. It comes to theaters Friday, December 2.
How much money is Jay-Z’s D’Usse Cognac brand worth? Apparently much more than any reasonably-minded person could have imagined. Jay-Z owns a 50/50 share of the cognac brand in a partnership with Bacardi, and according to new documents obtained by TMZ, the rapper and mogul reportedly offered to buy out Bacardi’s half of the venture for $1.5 billion in December of 2021, but they rejected him. There’s more to this story that’s actually a bit messy. So what’s really going on here?
Back in October, Jay-Z and his company, SC Liquor, had reportedly sued Bacardi, requesting “total financial clarity” on the venture. It seems as though Hov and the spirits giant were far apart in their valuation of the D’usse brand, which they’ve co-owned since 2011. While Jay-Z asserted that D’Usse was worth $2.5 billion, Bacardi countered with a $460 million valuation.
The TMZ report insinuates that because Bacardi rejected a $1.5 billion bid for a brand that they valued for much less here, they haven’t been fully transparent about the inner workings of D’Usse, hence the initial lawsuit for full disclosure of documents. This is an interesting advancement, considering that it was Jay-Z and SC Liquor who were trying to sell their half of D’Usse back to Bacardi, to begin with. Now they make a bid to buy the brand in full and get rejected? Furthermore, they allege that Bacardi meddled with a third-party appraiser on the valuation and nothing is as it seems on the valuations at all. Stay tuned for what happens, but in the meantime, perhaps Jay-Z is better served focusing on robots who make pizza.
Two of the best teams in the sport will watch the knockout stage of the 2022 World Cup from home. Belgium, which entered the tournament ranked as the second-best team in the world by FIFA, and Germany, the 2014 World Cup winners and FIFA’s 11th-best squad, were both eliminated on the final day of their respective group stages on Thursday.
Belgium was the first European power to see its World Cup come to an end on Thursday. Their mission was simple: They needed to pick up a win over Croatia, the reigning runners-up at the tournament, in order to move on out of Group F. The story of their game was the play of the team’s standout striker, Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku, who has struggled with injuries this year and did not play in the team’s first two games at the tournament.
Lukaku couldn’t start against Croatia, but he did come in at the half and had a number of chances that he’d normally bury. Instead, Lukaku missed chance after chance, while no one else on Belgium’s team was able to put themselves into a position to score a goal.
Because of this, Belgium left the tournament before the knockout stage, with Morocco and Croatia moving on in Group F.
Several hours later, things got crazier. All four teams in Group E — Spain, Japan, Costa Rica, and Germany — had the opportunity to get out of the group. Spain entered the day on four points and had to play Japan, which was on three. Costa Rica entered with an upper hand on the Germans, as they had three points to Die Mannschaft’s one.
Things looked like they were heading in the direction of the two European giants going into the half. Germany’s Serge Gnabry put one past indomitable Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the 10th minute, while Spain’s Álvaro Morata found the back of the net in the 11th. This meant that Spain was slated to win the group with seven points, while Germany was in line to finish in second with four.
And then, pandemonium. Japan’s Ritsu Doan and Ao Tanaka both scored within six minutes of the start of the second half, which put Japan on top of the group and Spain in second.
The other game was just as insane. Costa Rica’s Yeltsin Tejeda scored in the 58th minute. Twelve minutes later, Juan Pablo Vargas scored for the Ticos. This meant that Spain was slated to join Germany on an early vacation.
COSTA RICA TIES IT
As it stands, IF Costa Rica earns a win over Germany, both Spain and Germany would be eliminated pic.twitter.com/rTevEdfhqm
A substitute gave Germany new life, though, as Kai Havertz beat Navas twice to put the Germans ahead on the scoreboard … but not in the table, where they were considerably behind Spain on goal differential.
GERMANY FINDS THE EQUALIZER
As it stands, Japan and Spain are through to the knockout stage!
Germany got a fourth goal by way of Niclas Füllkrug, which opened the door for them to move on via goal differential over Japan if Spain was able to draw level. But it was all for naught, as Japan held on and prevented Spain for getting an equalizer. The loss means that the Germans crash out of the group stage for the second World Cup in a row, while Japan won the group and Spain earned the distinction of being runners-up.
Both of these groups had an impact on one another, as the two are matched up in the first round of the knockouts. As a result, Japan will play Croatia on Monday at 10 a.m., while Morocco will play Spain 24 hours later. Both games will air on Fox.
When Kaash Paige first went viral in 2019 with her song “Love Songs,” she was poised to be one of the next big acts in R&B. Having found fans in the likes of Don Toliver and Kylie Jenner, she rode the wave and moved to LA, with a freshly signed deal with Def Jam, a vision laid out, and her eyes on the prize. Though the world shut down due to the pandemic shortly after she moved to LA, the Dallas native never lost her momentum.
She frequently shared clips of herself in the studio on Instagram and put out her debut album, Teenage Fever, in summer of 2020. While the pandemic kept her from performing shows and at festivals, her move proved to have been worth her while. She collaborated with some of her longtime favorite artists, including Tinashe, 6lack, and Isaiah Rashad, and even appeared in a campaign for Beyoncé’s Icy Park winter wear line, alongside Gucci Mane.
This October, Kaash moved back to Dallas, with a mission to help put the city on the map, and to realign herself – both with her family and friends, as well as spiritually.
“When you’re in LA, you’re around so many different energies, and so many different people,” Kaash says. “You’re working every day, you feel like you have something to prove, like you have to work every day. I just needed a break.”
Now that she’s back home, she’s looking forward to finding a sense of stability, setting up activations and pop-ups for herself and other artists, and simply not having to “run around all the time.”
When Kaash was first coming up in Dallas as a teenager, she remembers being very sheltered. Much of her pre-fame days were spent sneaking out of her Grand Prairie home to go record vocals and attend shows. Now, just weeks away from turning 22, Kaash is ready to experience Dallas from a grown-up standpoint.
Before moving to LA, Kaash didn’t get the chance to perform at any Dallas venues. In the weeks she’s been back, she’s held a listening party for her sophomore album S2ML, and is gearing up for a tour, during which, she will perform at House Of Blues Dallas.
“I used to tell myself ‘You can’t pop if you stay in your hometown.’ You have so many different people around you saying ‘You gotta go to New York,’ or ‘You gotta go to LA,’ and it’s like, no. Whatever is meant for you is always gonna happen,” Kaash says. “I feel like [being back] out here, it’s allowed me to connect with the people that didn’t get a chance to connect with whenever I was first out here.”
There’s no question as to whether or not her city is holding her down. Promo posters for S2ML are in just about every major Dallas neighborhood, from downtown to Deep Ellum to Lower Greenville. And for good reason, too. Not just because she’s a Dallas artist, but because S2ML is Kaash’s most introspective, relatable project to date.
Kaash’s debut album, Teenage Fever, featured her playing the role of the heartbreaker as she let her several contenders know that she doesn’t have any intentions to leave put her goals or her superstar lifestyle behind. This results in emotional consequences, which set her up for the things she’s forced to reckon with as she grows into adulthood.
This is where S2ML picks up, where she dwells in both the upsides and downsides of stardom and its subsequent heartbreaks, by way of trippy, alt-R&B beats, and dreamy, soft-sung vocals. The album features Kaash tapping into the producer role for the first time for some of the tracks.
“We’ll play a beat, and I’ll be like, ‘How does it make you feel?’ and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, it made makes me feel like I’m lost in space’ or something,” Kaash says. “And then I’ll put down something in my notes, and come up with a caption or something, and that’s how we’ll start off the song.”
This technique – coming up with a short phrase to use for an Instagram caption, and building from there – is something Kaash says was inspired by Lil Wayne. “I feel like captions are where my heart goes the most, because it’s something that people can relate to, and post,” she says.
Much of the album’s lyrics were freestyled, as Kaash says this is how she is able to create something that feels natural in the moment, and reflects how she feels at the time.
“I feel like whenever I write down lyrics, it takes up a lot of my time in the studio,” Kaash says. “And, I get mad at myself, because I feel like ‘this word isn’t strong enough.’ And everybody’s like, ‘Bro, sometimes music can be simple.’ It can be minimalistic, it doesn’t have to be the deepest thing you’ve ever heard in your life. Of course, you need substance. But sometimes the best records come from when the artist didn’t think too much of it.”
A particular song, “Self Esteem” came to Kaash during a two-week period when she wasn’t smoking weed. On the bass-heavy track, the openly bisexual singer recalls a romance where her energy wasn’t being reciprocated.
“I was in my feelings about some girl,” Kaash says. “She was so bougie, she’d be like ‘Oh, I don’t eat chicken. I eat yellowtail jalapeno,’” Kaash recalls, speaking in a hilarious LA accent.
“In LA, I was so caught up and keeping up with the Joneses. I was like ‘I’ve gotta impress her’ and then I’m like, ‘Bro, she’s messing with your self-esteem. You’re literally lowering everything about yourself trying to impress somebody else.’ I’m looking in a mirror, like, ‘Am I not fly? What is it about this girl and why’s she not attracted to me?’ I actually got that clarity from not [smoking].”
Thankfully, Kaash gets her confidence back on the synthy party track, “Awesome,” a celebratory anthem on which she’s feeling herself during a night of drinking.
“I turn up the building, my hair on Brazilian, but you know I’m chillin’ / I walk in the booth, I’m making a hit, just look at the ceiling,” she sings on the self-empowering, club-ready anthem.
Though weed is her venom of choice, Kaash says she enjoys rum cocktails now and then, but tries to avoid Casamigos, which she says is “a crazy drink.”
“When you do shots, that’s when you mess yourself up, and you’re dancing with the devil at that point,” Kaash says. “That’s the devil in Prada.”
Over the past three years, Kaash has let go of her people-pleasing tendencies. She knows that some people are going to love her music, and some people aren’t, but she is at a point where she’s okay with that. Especially as she’s performed with Lil Tjay and other artists, and has heard the crowd cheering back her collaborator’s names.
She also says she has let go of toxicity, and no longer wishes to be labeled as such.
“I’m not trying to be toxic,” Kaash says. “I might just have a little bit too much honesty in me, and it comes off [toxic] to certain people. But I feel like when people call me ‘toxic R&B princess’ or whatever – that was a cool era, but right now I’m in my rockstar era. I’m in my alternative R&B era where it’s like, if you still think it’s toxic, that’s how you perceive it. But I’m not going for that.”
Kaash’s mission is to experience Dallas at the legal age to go to shows in some of the city’s iconic venues. In the future, she hopes to open a lounge-style restaurant from her mom, who loves to cook. She also wants to open a recording studio of her own.
But right now, she plans to work with local producers and musicians, and see what she missed out on when she was younger.
“I’m gonna make sure that everybody knows I’m in the city, and I’m back here,” Kaash says. “And it’s always love.”
The Boys season four just snagged one of Mad Men’s best recurring guest stars. Deadlinereports that Rosemarie DeWitt, who played Midge on the AMC drama and more recently, slayed in a blonde wig as Candace Zamperini on HBO’s The Staircase, has been cast in season four of Amazon’s superhero satire The Boys. Simon Pegg, who played the father to Jack Quaid’s Hughie with a regular role in season one and an appearance in one season three episode is set to return. Rob Benedict of Supernatural and Elliot Knighthave also joined season four. DeWitt is playing Hughie’s mother, indicating that the upcoming season will dive even more into Hughie’s background and childhood.
Other previously announced additions to The Boysseason four cast include Jeffrey Dean Morgan, whose character is still a secret. A new Supe named Sister Sage will be played by Susan Heyward of Orange Is the New Black, and Firecracker will be played by Valorie Curry of The Following. Cameron Crovetti, the young actor who plays Ryan Butcher, aka Homelander’s son, will return to season four in a larger role.
In August, Quaid told Entertainment Weekly that season four will be the best season of the series so far. The general framework of this season has been told to me, and it’s shaping up to be very cool, very timely,” he added. “I can’t wait to see exactly how it plays out because I don’t have every script yet, but this is that special time where I get to just be a fan and see every script as it comes in and have my own reaction to the insane things that we do.”
Season four of The Boys is currently in production and is likely to come out on Amazon sometime next year.

Adam Sandler is a one-man franchise. He doesn’t need the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars — he’s got Happy Madison (when he’s not working with the Safdie brothers). But would he, one of the increasingly few A-list Hollywood stars without a superhero movie in his filmography, ever consider it? When presented with this question during a live interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Sandler replied, “I never thought about it. Maybe because no one’s ever asked.” He mumbled a few respectful “I don’t know”s before adding, “It hasn’t happened, and probably won’t happen.”
Sandler can star in movies without having to get shredded. What a concept!
In the interview, Sandler also discussed “Chris Farley Song,” his musical tribute to the late Chris Farley. “The first few times we played that song, I would tear up, and I couldn’t really sing it well because I get so emotional,” he said. “And then I got kind of like, I felt it and was able to get it out there.” Sandler loves hearing the crowd “go nuts for Farley. Every show I do, by far the biggest applause of the night is talking about Farley. Every time I mention his name here and the audience goes nuts, it feels great.”
Try it the next time you’re in public. Yell “Chris Farley” and if someone in the crowd starts singing “fat guy in a little coat,” become friends with them immediately.
You’ve surely heard of the Tom Cruise Christmas cake. Everyone knows about this cake. Everyone covets the treat. I don’t even like coconut and wouldn’t mind trying this thing out. It’s the toast of Hollywood and perhaps the only time that something ultimately unhealthy graces certain people’s plates. If Tom Cruise sends you a damn cake, then you eat that cake, you know?
Top Gun: Maverickace pilot Glen Powell knows that this requirement is true. He’s one of the lucky recipients of this annual treat, and as he revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the cake rollout is actually a huge production in and of itself. Tom has his team put a lot of effort into the sugary celebration, and so, Glen believes that the suitable reaction is to hold a little party and share the wealth. As he told Hudson, people actually pester him every year to ask if it’s time to eat that cake yet, so he invites people over, and everyone can have a few bites.
Glen confirms that this coconut-adorned bundt confection is the most delicious cake that he’s ever tasted, and Hudson admitted that she’d like a piece of that action. Get in line, Jennifer!
