Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, and the late night was naturally thrilled at the prospect of learning inside details about Donald Trump. Namely, the former president’s infamous habit of throwing food against the wall in a fight of rage. To Kimmel’s delight, Hutchinson revealed that it was a frequent occurrence and nothing in reach was safe from Trump’s temper.

“Sometimes it would happen once or twice a week, sometimes more,” Hutchinson shared via Rolling Stone. “Sometimes there’d be a week or so lull, but then there would be a bad news story. But it wasn’t just launching the food and the plates and the porcelain at the wall. It was sometimes just flipping the tablecloth.”

Naturally, the conversation steered towards ketchup, which Trump has a well-known habit of putting on everything, which often left the condiment smeared on the walls during one of his fits. Again, to Kimmel’s fascination, Hutchinson shared another new detail about Trump’s weird food habits.

“He does have a very potent fear of being poisoned,” Hutchinson said via Mediaite. “So he uses and prefers the small Heinz glass bottles because he likes to hear his valet, whoever is serving him this meal, he likes to hear the pop.”

“Really? That’s why? I thought his hands were so little. It seemed like like a real ketchup bottle,” Kimmel quipped. “It’s for poisoning, huh? Do you think he’s got this fear of being poisoned from all the ex-wives?”

When Hutchinson suggested maybe Trump is afraid of Russia, Kimmel laughingly shot down that idea. “I don’t think Russia’s poisoning him.”

Drill music appears to be the contemporary sound of New York. It has appeal from 30-year-olds like Fivio Foreign to 15-year-olds like rising sensation Sugarhill Ddot. The latter is part of a new wave of young talent advancing the bubbling subgenre and expanding its reach far beyond the five boroughs, backed by the recently relaunched and revamped Priority Records.

Who Is Sugarhill Ddot?

SugarHill Ddot’s real name is Darrian Jimenez, and as his name suggests, he hails from Harlem’s Sugar Hill neighborhood, which famously held a key position in the advancements of both jazz and, decades later, hip-hop.

Ddot naturally started rapping at a young age, garnering profiles as early as last year before his 15th birthday. His musical calling card so far appears to be the single “Let Ha Go,” which dropped in April and has since accumulated 10 million-plus views on YouTube.

More recently, he teamed up with fellow teen sensation Luh Tyler for the Nicki Minaj-sampling dance anthem “3am In The Yams.”

He regularly shouts out Notti Osama, a close friend who was lost to gang violence, in his songs and is also closely associated with another emerging drill artist, DD Osama. The Harlem rapper has also apparently received co-signs from both Drake and Lil Durk, and is a fixture of YouTube podcasts and performance shows — which just means he’s likely only going to get more popular as he continues to work.

With Kevin McCarthy now ousted as Speaker of the House thanks to Matt Gaetz and his chaotic band of fringe congress members, the Republican party has found a possible replacement for McCarthy who is both a nonsensical, yet entirely predictable choice: Donald Trump.

Despite a litany of legal problems, Trump’s name is already being aggressively floated as McCarthy’s successor by right-wing media. Even more terrifying, the former president is reportedly open to the idea, and Seth Meyers can’t believe all of this helping. During his Wednesday night episode, the late night host went to town on what making Trump the Speaker of the House says about the current state of the Republican party.

“Because you have to be insane to actually want this job, some Republicans are floating the name of a person who is, in fact, insane,” Meyers said before mocking Sean Hannity for citing a “source” that is clearly Trump. “Incredible. Only the Republicans would consider giving the job of Speaker to someone who is under a gag order. It’s like hiring a French mime as your new NFL play-by-play guy.”

“But this perfectly sums up the current state of the Republican party,” Meyers continued. “Usually when someone is in court, they have to call a friend to ask for help. In this case, he’s calling from court to offer it. ‘Sean, tell your viewers I’m willing to do it. Hold on, the bailiff is gonna take the phone away.’”

Meyers then roasted Newsmax for trying to subtly float Trump for the House Speaker job by noting that whoever takes the job doesn’t have to be a member of Congress. It could be anybody, “maybe rhymes with Trump.”

“Oh, it rhymes with Trump?” Meyers quipped. “Please tell me it’s one of the Klumps!”

There’s a grouping of songs in Drake’s discography known as “timestamp songs.” These tracks all have one thing in common: Their titles include a time and a location. Here’s a list of all the timestamp songs Drake has release so far and a little bit about each.

“9AM In Dallas”

The first of the timestamp songs, this one came out in 2010, shortly before the release of Thank Me Later. The Boi-1da-produced track was apparently recorded the day the rest of the album was being mastered, so despite him wanting it to be the album’s intro, that didn’t end up working out.

“5AM In Toronto”

Like its predecessor, “9AM In Dallas” was released during the lead-up to an album, this time Nothing Was The Same. Notably, this one has lyrics that are believed to be about beef with The Weeknd: “‘Cause I show love, never get the same outta n****s / Guess it’s funny how money can make change outta n****s.”

“6PM In New York”

This one appeared on If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and it’s pretty clearly sees Drake going after Tyga: “I heard a lil, lil homie talking reckless in Vibe / That’s quite a platform you chose, you should’ve kept it inside / Oh, you tried? It’s so childish calling my name on the world stage / You need to act your age and not your girl’s age.”

“4PM In Calabasas”

Continuing to use the timestamp songs as a diss platform on 2016’s “4PM In Calabasas.” Among the targets is Joe Budden: “I thought we looked out for one another / Saw us all as brothers in the struggle, too blessed to be humble / I guess it’s different in the city I come from / All the sudden, I got people showing how much they truly resent me / They whole demeanor just spells envy, they tryna tempt me.”

“7AM On Bridle Path”

On Certified Lover Boy cut “7AM On Bridle Path,” it’s pretty clear Drake’s going after Kanye West. There are too many examples to exhaustively list here, as lines that seemingly take aim at West are peppered throughout the verse.

“8AM In Charlotte”

And now we have the latest timestamp song, this morning’s “8AM In Charlotte.” It currently remains to be seen if the track will appear on the upcoming album For All The Dogs, but either way, there’s speculation that the track again sees Drake putting Kanye in his crosshairs.

At midnight (October 6), Drake will finally deliver his For All The Dogs album. (He’s supposed to, anyway.) He has already released “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and warned an ex-lover, “I’m slimin’ you for them kid choices you made.” But “8AM In Charlotte” might be taking more acute aim at someone.

The new song arrived early Thursday, October 5, exclusively on Drake’s Instagram page. Throughout, Drake name-drops the likes of 21 Savage (his It’s All A Blur Tour co-headliner), Central Cee, Shania Twain, T.D. Jakes, and Lauryn Hill, but it’s all in a playful light. In fact, there aren’t any explicit disses at all, but fans have a theory that the third verse is a veiled shot at Kanye West.

“Conspiracy theories start floatin’ ’round like the Kennedy guy,” Drake raps. “I’ll prolly hold a grudge against you guys ’til I’m seventy-five / Ayy, n****s lyin’ for a livin’, I couldn’t relate / We all gotta lay in the bed we make, but that couldn’t be Drake / You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face / That’s why you got deserted by your n****s like puddin’ and cake / I got you on camera bowin’ down, but the footage is safe / Thank God, another USB to put in the safe.”

On X (formerly known as Twitter), people have correlated these bars to a video of Drake bowing down to Ye after bringing him out as a guest during his Summer Sixteen Tour. There’s also the outside chance that the mention of “conspiracy theories” and “lyin’ for a livin’” is related to his beef with Pusha T and Ye that crescendoed in 2018 with the public reveal of Drake’s son, Adonis. (Is it a coincidence that the “8AM In Charlotte” video stars Adonis?)

At any rate, Lil Yachty teased that Drake “deals with some controversial things” across For All The Dogs, and “8AM In Charlotte” might fall under that umbrella.

Ariana Grande made a lot of headlines earlier this year when she separated from her husband Dalton Gomez and reportedly began dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. It was quite the scoop considering Slater had a wife of ten years. There is now a new update on the supposed couple.

According to US Magazine, Grande and Slater are now living together. “Ethan informed his friends and soon-to-be ex-wife [Lilly Jay] that he’s living with Ariana full-time in New York,” an insider told the publication.

“They’re really happy and really good for each other,” the source added. “All of her friends love him.”

Grande reportedly filed for divorce from Gomez on September 18. Back in July, a source told TMZ about the problems between the two. “When Covid restrictions lifted, we’re told their differences became alarmingly apparent. Dalton, an LA realtor, was taken aback by Ariana’s celebrity. He had not dealt with her schedule, the paparazzi and the various opportunities that took her out of LA,” they said. “We’re told Dalton would sometimes question why they needed to go around town with security, something that was a must for Ariana. Their differences started to make the marriage unravel, and it was greatly exacerbated when she went to England last December to begin filming Wicked.”

Drake‘s highly anticipated new album For All The Dogs allegedly arrives tomorrow (October 6), though it’s fair to be skeptical after a couple delays. However, he unveiled the single and video “8AM In Charlotte” today, which is a good sign. Though Lil Yachty has some producing credits on the LP, another producer took on this song.

Who produced Drake’s “8AM In Charlotte?”

Conductor Williams produced “8AM In Charlotte.” Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Denzel “Conductor” Williams has produced for plenty of beloved hip hop artists such as Mach-Hommy, Westside Gun, Tyler The Creator, and Remy Banks.

About For All The Dogs, Lil Yachty explained working on it with Drake. “I think some of the best Drake verses that I ever heard are on this album,” he said. He continued about the subject matter, “Some of the verses I’m just like, ‘Bruh, what’s wrong with you?’ You know what I’m saying?” he said. “People gonna have a lot to say about some of his topics on this album. And I don’t think he does it on purpose, I think it’s just him — he just has a real… I will say he deals with some controversial things.”

Drake loves surprises. He surprised fans with “Slime You Out” featuring SZA last month. He surprised Halle Berry by using her image and likeness for the cover of “Slime You Out,” without her permission. And though it surprised absolutely nobody when “Slime You Out” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Drake couldn’t help but toss out another unexpected single on Thursday morning, October 5.

“8AM In Charlotte” arrived exclusively on Instagram alongside a video starring Adonis Graham, his nearly six-year-old son who drew the cover for Drake’s imminent For All The Dogs album cover. In it, an off-camera Drake asks Adonis to “tell me about your beautiful piece of artwork that you sold me.”

“So, it’s the same story,” Adonis said. “So, the goat was running away from the other monsters and the other animals, and a flower [was] blocking the way. So, the flower was on fire. The racing car was maybe helping the goat, and there was some stairs who’s like a jail stairs, and there was one person who was, like, on top, and he got killed by the track.”

And when Drake wanted to confirm whether what Adonis just said was “like a little story,” Adonis muttered “yes” in an exasperated tone that suggested, Duh, Dad, what else would it be? Drake then asked why Adonis drew the letters “SBW,” which led to an explanation that Adonis simply wanted to write those letters without any further meaning, but then we got to the good stuff.

“And Daddy’s name is next to the goat,” Drake said. “Does that mean that he’s the GOAT?” Adonis, again, confirms with a hushed “yes,” followed by an elaboration that the character is actually “Daddy GOAT,” but Adonis drew the line at disclosing how much he was compensated for his drawing (“Oh, please”).

Drake has yet to confirm the For All The Dogs tracklist, but considering the album is due out at midnight (October 6), we can probably assume that “8AM In Charlotte” will be on it. But then again, he does love surprises.

No list of the best SNL cast members of all-time is complete without Phil Hartman. So it’s a real treat that almost 30 years after he departed Studio 8H, and 25 years after his tragic death, Dana Carvey has shared a never-before-seen short film — also starring Jon Lovitz! — from their time on the show.

“This is one of my favorite #SNL short films. The brilliant Robert Smigel (@TriumphICDHQ) wrote it – and recruited me to play #Chaplin,” Carvey wrote on X. “I thought its premise was inspired. And I never turn down an opportunity to play Chaplin. Unfortunately it never made it to air. It played at dress rehearsal to crickets, live crickets, and we still maintain that a human audience might have liked it. Here now, for the first time, watch ‘Chaplin’ and, for the trazillionth time, enjoy the magic of #PhilHartman, @realjonlovitz, and I.”

SNL, the show that gave us Schweddy Balls, “more cowbell,” and David S. Pumpkins, is rarely subtle, but “Chaplin” doesn’t go for big laughs. It’s charming in its simplicity, with Carvey’s Chaplin gradually turning into the Little Tramp by stealing another actor’s bit. Hartman plays the narrator, and now I’m sad all over again. His remarkable talent and voice, gone too soon. Treasure films like “Chaplin.” It might be the last “new” Hartman we ever get.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has made it known who she wants as the next Speaker of the House. But according to Jimmy Kimmel, that might not be the only way she wants Donald Trump.

On Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late-night host discussed the clusterf*ck in the House since Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position by Matt Gaetz. “The ins and outs of how it happened are complicated. Basically, Kevin McCarthy went through the political equivalent of getting pantsed in front of the whole school. And then having a squirrel bite you on the penis,” Kimmel joked. He then played a clip from “Klan mom” Taylor Greene suggesting that Trump should become the new Speaker.

“We want him back as president. So why not make him Speaker of the House, even if it’s an interim speaker, while we work to find another speaker?” Taylor Greene said in the video from Real America’s Voice. “Anyone who wants to run for Speaker, the only way to earn my vote is to beat President Trump.” Kimmel commented, “He’s never going to have sex with you, Marge. Stop it. He’s a married man.” As if that’s ever (allegedly) stopped him before.
