Kitty And Red Forman Haven’t Changed A Bit In The First Teaser For ‘That ’90s Show’

After months of anticipation, Netflix has finally unveiled the first teaser for The ’90s Show, and man, Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) haven’t aged a day. The ’70s Show spinoff catches up with the classic Forman couple who now have to wrangle a new generation of youngsters funneling into their basement thanks to granddaughter Leia (Callie Haverda).

While the teaser catches up with the always welcoming Kitty and a not-so-welcoming Red, who’s visibly hating every minute of dealing with more teens, the original cast is nowhere to be seen yet. However, everyone (with the obvious exception of Danny Masterson and the late Lisa Robin Kelly) are locked in for the spinoff and will presumably appear in the full trailer.

In the meantime, Netflix has finally given fans a release date for That ’90s Show, and they don’t have that long of a wait. The show will start streaming on January 19, confirming previous reports of a late 2022/early 2023 premiere.

Here’s the official synopsis:

It’s 1995 and Leia Forman is desperate for some adventure in her life or at least a best friend who isn’t her dad. When she arrives in Point Place to visit her grandparents, Red and Kitty, Leia finds what she’s looking for right next door when she meets the dynamic and rebellious Gwen. With the help of Gwen’s friends, including her lovable brother Nate, his smart, laser-focused girlfriend Nikki, the sarcastic and insightful Ozzie, and the charming Jay, Leia realizes adventure could happen there just like it did for her parents all those years ago. Excited to reinvent herself, she convinces her parents to let her stay for the summer. With a basement full of teens again, Kitty is happy the Forman house is now a home for a new generation and Red is, well… Red.

And here are First Look photos for That ’90s Show:

A Woman On TikTok Is Conducting ‘Loyalty Tests’ By Request To Catch Cheating Boyfriends

There have been a handful of strange trends to come from TikTok. Some of them are basically harmless, like all of those elaborate coffee hacks or even that family of chinchillas who like to hold tiny items. And other trends seem to be a little bit more involved, and slightly more controversial.

The latest trend seems to be users enlisting one woman to conduct a “loyalty test” on their boyfriends, seemingly instead of having open and honest communication, which is hard! When you don’t know what to do, turn to TikTok, and somebody will be there to explain it to you over and over and over until it effectively becomes a Thing.

TikTok user Chasity Soules has courageously decided to offer up loyalty tests to anyone who asks. You might think that going around your significant other’s back to trick them is slightly unappealing, and you might be right! But Soules has done over 50 of these tests and there is no sign of slowing down, so the people are clearly interested….for better or worse.

In order to “test” subjects, Soules encourages disgruntled ladies in relationships to reach out to her and she will message their significant other to see if they are “loyal.” Sometimes they are and end up blocking her account. Other instances are not so great.

Soules seems to do this to help “empower” women in relationships, though many in her comments don’t agree. Still, her videos go viral enough that one day, the men are probably going to start catching on and it might even turn into a reverse catfish situation. That would be different!

This Popular ‘The White Lotus’ Theory Is Very Bad News For Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya

With only two episodes of The White Lotus season two left, let’s take a moment to check in and see how the main characters are doing. Dominic (Michael Imperioli) is worried about his son, Albie (Adam DiMarco), who’s falling for the same escort, Lucia (Simona Tabasco), that he slept with. Cameron (Theo James) is being creepy to Harper (Aubrey Plaza), who doesn’t trust her husband, Ethan (Will Sharpe), after she found a condom in their bedroom — a condom that Cameron used while having sex with Lucia. Meanwhile, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) is falling for a rowdy English boy, Jack (Leo Woodall), who was caught by Portia’s boss, Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), having sex with the man introduced as his uncle, Quentin (Tom Hollander). So, yeah, everyone is horny and miserable — and things will only get more miserable once people start dying.

There are a lot of theories about the identity of the floating corpse that Daphne (Meghann Fahy) encounters while going for a swim in the season two premiere. But another, possibly related theory is gaining popularity among fans of the HBO series.

Remember Greg (Jon Gries)? Tanya’s husband? He hasn’t been seen since episode three, when he tells Tanya that he has to cut their vacation short because he has a work thing in Denver that he needs to take care of. He claims he’ll be back in two days, but Tanya overhears him talking to someone on the phone. “Yeah, she’s clueless as usual,” he says. “I’ll be home tomorrow.” He even says “I love you” to the mystery caller. Tanya is verklempt after Greg leaves — until she meets the “high-end gays,” led by Greg, who after a day spent drinking and gossiping, invites her to a fancy palazzo in Palermo.

It’s important to remember something Cam said earlier in the season: “These European aristocrats, they have no money. Like, I sh*t you not. They have all these palazzos, and they got no cash.” Cameron might be a douche (OK, he’s for sure a douche), but he’s on to something here. Think about it: Jack, who travels with Quentin & Co., dines and dashes with Portia, partially for the thrill of it, but also maybe because he doesn’t have any money? Could the high-end gays be scamming Tanya? And — to go full Pepe Silvia — is Greg involved? Y’know, Denver isn’t far from Montana, where Quentin tells Tanya he fell in love with an American cowboy. It would also explain why Greg was so upset about Portia being there during the Sicily trip (or maybe he just didn’t want someone who wasn’t his wife around on a romantic trip, which would be understandable).

Maybe Tanya’s premonition wasn’t because of the Bonine she took before the flight:

Whatever the case, something is off, and people are catching on.

Or maybe Aubrey Plaza’s Harper kills all the dudes. That’s my theory.

Phoebe Bridgers Performed ‘Milk’ At The 1975 Show (Where Matty Healy Also Ate More Meat)

The 1975, who are currently embarking on their At Their Very Best tour across the US, have had an interesting round of shows to say the least. Lead singer Matty Healy has appeared to eat raw meat, making out with several fans on stage, and alluded to the internet rumors that he’s “grooming” the audience.

Last night’s Los Angeles show at the Kia Forum was no different… except Healy opted for kissing his bandmate instead. In addition to the viral stage spectacles, fans were treated to a performance by Phoebe Bridgers, who played a cover of the band’s 2012 song, “Milk.”

Both her presence and the setlist addition surprised longtime fans, as the track is lesser-known in the band’s discography. From videos taken from the audience, Bridgers played “Milk” by herself, with just an acoustic guitar — giving a slower change of pace to the original song.

Bridgers has collaborated with The 1975 previously, as she is included on their 2020 album, Notes On A Conditional Form, for the mellow take of “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America.” This year, she also appeared in the music video for “I’m In Love With You” as a hidden cameo.

Sad!: Trump ‘May Be Tempted To Go Back To Twitter’ Because Truth Social Keeps Hemorrhaging Users

Donald Trump‘s fledgling social media platform, Truth Social, is continuing to be one headache after another. On top of reportedly losing over $100 million of investors’ money, facing scrutiny from the Feds, and failing to pay its bills, the platform is reportedly hemorrhaging users at a substantial rate.

According to right-wing media watchdog group, TheRighting, Comscore data for Truth Social shows a significant drop in users over the past two months. Trump’s site reportedly reached a peak high of 4.02 million visitors in August, and it’s been downhill from there. In September, Truth Social was down to 3.38 million, and by October it was sitting at 2.85 million visitors. That’s a loss of 1.17 million visitors, over a quarter of its peak high numbers.

Why the sudden drop? The most likely reason is even diehard MAGA users are getting tired of Trump, and he may retreat back to Twitter, which has been turning into right-wing love-fest thanks to Elon Musk. Via Confider:

“It suggests a decreasing interest in what Trump is saying on his platform,” Howard Polskin, a lifelong media vet and founder of TheRighting, told Confider. “If the numbers keep declining, he may be tempted to go back to Twitter to reach a much larger audience.”

Of course, Trump might not be able to return to Twitter without triggering claims of securities fraud. Truth Social is in the middle of a merger deal that could go south if Trump bails on the platform after convincing investors that it would be the exclusive home for his social media presence. Then again, caring about laws or investigations has never been Trump’s strong suit, so literally anything can happen if he’s not getting the attention he craves from Truth Social’s shrinking user base.

Drake Confirmed That ‘Her Loss’ Completes A Trilogy With ‘Certified Lover Boy’ And ‘Honesty, Nevermind’

It turns out Drake’s flurry of activity this year — releasing Honestly, Nevermind in the wake of his 2021 album Certified Lover Boy, then following up with the surprise release of Her Loss with 21 Savage just a few months later — was all part of a plan. Although the albums may seem to be unrelated to each other and vary in their approaches and sounds, Drake says that thematically, they form a trilogy that follows the dissolution and aftermath of a relationship — a common subject in his music as a whole.

In an interview that found its way to Twitter via audio clips, Drake calls Her Loss the conclusion of this trilogy and compares it to a middlingly popular millennial jam, “No Pigeons” by Sporty Thievs, which was a spiteful response to TLC’s “No Scubs.” “We got CLB, Certified Lover Boy, that was like, ‘I’m trying my best to make her love [me], I’m chasing you,’” he explains. “And then Honestly, Nevermind is the realization that maybe that lifestyle is not for me.”

Finally, he says, “Then Her Loss is like ‘No Pigeons.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Drake calls Her Loss one of his top five albums, but there seems to be some disagreement among his fans.

Kim Petras Said There’s ‘Nothing To Say Or Be Ashamed Of’ In Regards To Her Work With Dr. Luke

Singer Kim Petras is calling for divine intervention after a series of tweets landed her in hot water. At a time when the Grammy-nominated pop star should be celebrating her breakout year, thanks to the success of her No. 1 single, “Unholy” with Sam Smith, Petras is now finding herself at odds with her fans online.

In a heated exchange with one Twitter user, Petras stood by her decision to continue working with music producer Dr. Luke, despite the sexual misconduct allegations he has faced against fellow musician Kesha, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.

The now-deleted tweet read, “Five million people work with him. Why y’all only coming at me? I have nothing to say or be ashamed of at all. Go away.”

Supporters of the “If Jesus Was A Rockstar” singer were shellshocked by her statement. On several occasions, Petras said her opinion on the allegations against Dr. Luke has wavered due to their close friendship but eventually she supported assault survivors.

Back in 2018, during an interview with i-D, Petras shared, “While I’ve been open and honest about my positive experience with Dr. Luke, that does not negate or dismiss the experience of others or suggest that multiple perspectives cannot exist at once. I didn’t communicate this clearly in the past.”

Petras made it clear she needed to untether herself from Dr. Luke professionally stating, “It’s time for me to be my own person, and do my own sh*t,” adding, “It definitely took a little courage for me to do that right now.”

“Woman” singer Doja Cat has attempted to do the same. To her surprise, the producer has still been credited for her work.

Since deleting the tweets, Kim Petras has remained silent online and as award season approaches and Petras continues work on her upcoming project, it is probably for the best.

Cardi B Said She’s Been ‘Feeling Hopeless’ Trying Make Offset Happy Following Takeoff’s Death

Cardi B recently opened up about how her and her husband, Offset, are coping following the loss of his cousin and Migos member, Takeoff, earlier this month. In a now-deleted voice note that Cardi shared on Twitter, she noted that people should stop “trying to be funny to get clout” while the couple are grieving.

“We living our life normally, but deep down inside, our hearts have been so heavy,” she said. “I feel like if I talk about the incident so desensitized, I feel like if we talk about how we really feel or what motherf*ckers really been going through, y’all will start saying, ‘Oh, sympathy,’ and we don’t want no sympathy. We ain’t no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy.”

The Bronx rapper went on to detail just how hard she’s working to make her husband feel better during these tough times. In her own words, just because fans see them together on her Instagram Stories doesn’t mean they know the full story.

“Trying to make him crack a smile, f*cking seeing him randomly cry, see him trying to distract his mind completely, f*cking schedules been changing, trying to keep up with work after everything that he’s been going through these past couple of weeks,” Cardi added. “Stop f*cking playing.”

Takeoff, born Kirsnick Khari Ball, passed away on November 1 in Houston.

Donald Trump Just Couldn’t Keep His Mouth Shut And Went Ahead And Confessed: ‘I Did’ Steal Classified Documents From The White House

Ever since federal agents raided Mar-a-Lago back in August to retrieve boxes full of stolen classified documents that Donald Trump (illegally) took with him when he left the White House, the former president hasn’t been able to successfully pick a lane as to his defense. On a good day, Team Trump might allow that maybe, possibly, some classified documents might have gotten mixed up in his personal belongings when he was hastily packing. Other times, Trump swears he declassified the documents with his mind. But on Monday, as Raw Story reports, Trump essentially just outright confessed to stealing the documents, and lying about it.

Trump was off on one of his now-regular TRUTH Social tears when he suddenly — and presumably accidentally — revealed the reality of the situation while playing the victim card. The target of Trump’s tirade was Jack Smith, the new special counsel tasked with investigating the former president’s many indiscretions. But it was Trump himself who ended up being on the losing end of this one-sided dialogue in which he raged:

This fully weaponized monster, Jack Smith, shouldn’t be let anywhere near the political persecution of “President Donald J. Trump.” I did nothing wrong on January 6th, and nothing wrong with the Democrats’ fix on the Document Hoax, that is, unless the six previous Presidents did something wrong also….

….When will you invade Bill and Hillary’s home in search of the 33,000 emails she deleted AFTER receiving a subpoena from the U.S. Congress? When will you invade the other Presidents’ homes in search of documents, which are voluminous, which they took with them, but not nearly so openly and transparently as I did?

“Not nearly so openly and transparently as I did?”

Oopsie!

Mary McCord, the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for national security from 2016 to 2017, pounced on Trump’s message right away and pointed out that this admission really negates his ability to try and go back to his whole “I believed these documents belonged to me” BS.

“So, even if there was a Pollyannaish defense, he has destroyed it with his own changing of stories,” McCord said. “I think he is going to say his defense to what he said today in that Truth Social post is ‘Oh, no — again I do everything transparently and openly, of course, it wouldn’t be anything I had any knowledge of that was unlawful.’ … But at some point, that just doesn’t hold up anymore.”

Andrew Weissmann, former FBI general counsel and prosecutor who worked with Robert Mueller’s team, added that: “With Donald Trump, one of the things that you have learned through history and you know is a posture is… this is never about the actual facts.” But Weissmann, too, believes that Trump just inadvertently changed the rules of the game by brazenly stating that he took the documents and knew that they were classified (two things he hasn’t always admitted to).

“He seems to be saying, ‘Oh, I, openly and notoriously took these documents, but I believed they were my personal documents,’” said Weissmann. “That the mere act of taking them from the White House sort of magically transmogrified them to be my personal documents. That is belied by the fact that, of course, he didn’t have the power and he has said inconsistent things with that latest defense as has his lawyer, where they agreed that these were documents that belonged to the Archives. So, again, I think again I think it’s really important to remember that this is not at all about the actual facts. It is really Donald Trump engaging and media relations, and it’s going to hurt him at trial.”

As with all things Trump, his words and his actions don’t always match up — so only time will tell how his slip-up might affect his future defense.
