Last night (June 21), ASAP Rocky delivered a a Spotify Beach performance at the Cannes Lions Festival in Paris on Wednesday night. What he said on stage has fueled a major rumor, that he and Rihanna are secretly married.

ET reports that according to “an eyewitness,” during the rapper’s second set, he dedicated his performance of “DMB” (short for “Dat’s My B*tch”) to RiRi, referring to her as “my beautiful wife in the motherf**king building! I love her.”

Neither Rocky nor Rihanna have ever confirmed that they’re married, but they’ve previously sparked the rumor. At the end of Rocky’s 2022 “DMB” video, he wears grills that say “Marry Me?” Rihanna’s grills, meanwhile, read, “I do.”

Earlier this year, there were reports that Rihanna was planning a beach wedding, potentially to coincide with her February 20, although that rumor was never confirmed. Then, at this year’s Met Gala, the two again fueled marriage rumors when Rihanna wore a wedding dress-like look.

Whatever the case may be, the two appear to have a happy family together: They have kid, RZA, and another on the way. Rihanna also commented on Rocky’s Fathers Day post from last weekend, “The Mayers boys stole my whole heart! Happy Father’s Day nerd.”

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields is one of the most beloved indie rock records. Released in 1999, the album’s 25th anniversary is next year, and the band wants to celebrate with a string of concerts next spring.

Beginning in March of 2024 in Massachusetts, the tour will also go through New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Fransisco, ending in April. The shows will have the original lineup and will take place over two nights in order to fit in the entire tracklist. It’ll be the first time in over two decades that the record has been performed in its entirety.

Over the years, up-and-coming indie acts have paid homage to this LP. In 2018, a full cover album was released by the Pennsylvania label Living Statue Records called You Can Sing Me Anything: A Tribute To 69 Love Songs, and it featured Illuminati Hotties covering “The Way You Say Good-Night.” That same year, the Los Angeles-based trio Hundred Waters shared a rendition of “I Don’t Believe In The Sun.”

Back in 2020, Tucker Carlson‘s top writer Blake Neff resigned from Fox News after CNN Business uncovered a lengthy history of posting racist, sexist, and offensive comments on an online message board. The thread stretched back to 2018, and Neff was still posting racist remarks just days before he was outed in the report. After his resignation, Fox News sent out an internal memo condemning Neff and his “horrific racist, misogynistic and homophobic behavior.”

“Neff’s abhorrent conduct on this forum was never divulged to the show or the network until Friday, at which point we swiftly accepted his resignation,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace wrote via CNN Business. “Make no mistake, actions such as his cannot and will not be tolerated at any time in any part of our work force.”

However, three years later, Neff has resurfaced. According to Media Matters for America, the disgraced Fox News writer now works for right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk:

Neff appeared with Kirk on the first episode of THOUGHTCRIME, a new weekly panel show streamed live exclusively on Kirk’s Rumble channel that’s apparently co-hosted by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. Kirk introduced Neff as “very high-IQ Blake,” saying, “And we’re really honored to have Blake on our team — he’s great. And the most, let’s just say, awful people in the world tried to destroy Blake’s life and we’re not going to let that happen.”

MMFA reports that Neff spent his time on the episode “repeatedly” using an “anti-trans slur” and parroting Matt Walsh talking points about Fox News promoting “glory holes” because it encouraged employees to take part in Pride events.

So, basically, Neff and his hateful rhetoric couldn’t be more at home.

An unhinged Donald Trump Jr. has been more off-the-hook than usual lately following his father’s (newest) criminal indictment. Most recently, Australians moved to bar him from the country after he got all twitchy and nose-scratchy while remaining unable to focus during a media appearance. Yep, the eldest boy is not handling the situation gracefully, but that’s only to be expected from he of the “Motel 6” rants and amped-up Fox News appearances.

So, would it be a surprise to learn that Don Jr. has thoughts on the OceanGate submersible and its five missing Titanic tourists? Sadly, it does look like late breaking word of a debris field could lead to inevitable news that the vessel imploded, which probably was in the cards after a previous passenger revealed that broken parts were held together by zip ties. So many safety concerns have emerged in the days following the submersible losing communication with its mother ship, but still, Don Jr. thinks it’s really, like, strange that this horribly constructed modern non-marvel would have failed, killing its passengers.

“Literally everything I’ve seen about this missing submarine is insane and sketchy AF…” Jr. tweeted. “[A]lmost none of it makes any sense whatsoever. How long till we find other external factors making it even more so???”

It’s not at all shocking to figure that Don Jr. would climb aboard the conspiracy theory train here. Heck, the QAnon crowd got all wrapped up in their fake conspiracy about the actual Titanic’s fate. Some of them even argue that the Titanic never sunk at all, and that the world has actually been obsessing about The Olympic ship (and not the Titanic). They’ve even gone so far during TikTok rants to accuse J.P. Morgan of plotting to sabotage the Titanic as part of his grand plans for the federal reserve.

It’s wild that anyone has the spare mental energy to devote to conspiracy theorizing, but here we are in 2023. Also, Don Jr. has been rambling about Hunter Biden’s laptop for years. He would probably love his followers to believe that someone engineered this vessel, which a former passenger called a “suicide mission” waiting to happen, to fail, so people wouldn’t pay attention to Hunter in court. Jr. has been endlessly incensed about Hunter’s so-called “sweetheart deal,” so he must be making incredible leaps in logic here by suggesting (really?) a “sketchy” connection to “external factors.”

And he’s still going, by the way.

However, it is worth noting that at least Don Jr. hasn’t gone the way of another right-winger to drop an equally absurd conspiracy theory — that OceanGate had a “woke CEO,” and thus, that the woke mob must have killed these passengers. Still, give Don Jr. some time. He might climb aboard that conspiracy theory as well. If he inherited the “stable genius” thing, maybe there’s more than enough room in Jr.’s head for both theories.

Donald Trump’s rapid fall from grace has seen him go from the GOP’s number-one boy to the preferred punching bag of every of-the-moment Republican presidential candidate — and now Chris Christie’s taking a swing.

The former governor of New Jersey went on Fox News Wednesday morning to bash his one-time pal, dragging him for comments he made in a recent interview with Fox News correspondent Bret Baier. In that two-part sit-down, Trump claimed it wouldn’t “be fair” to him if he was expected to get up on stage and debate rivals whose polling numbers were drastically lower than his. “Why would I allow people at 1 or 2 percent to be hitting me with questions all night,” he asked Baier during their chat.

Well, Christie is one of those single-digit percenters and now he’s calling out Trump for being a yellow orange-bellied coward.

“Oh, it’s not fair. Poor Donald Trump,” Christie said, mocking the former president to host Brian Kilmeade. “The guy who says that he’s the toughest person to lead this country doesn’t want to get up in front of Republican primary voters and defend his record, and make a case for the future of America?”

Christie went on to explain his position, saying he believes every Republican primary voter deserves to see every candidate who qualifies up on stage being asked tough questions about how they intend to govern the country.

“He thinks he should just default to the nomination?” Christie asked. “I don’t think so.”

Personally, we’d love to see Christie, Trump, and the easily-triggered Governor Ron DeSantis go at it like 5 year-olds on the playground fighting over who gets to sit atop the Monkey Bars tower, but maybe that’s just us.

Watch the full clip below:

One of the major sticking points which caused the WGA strike and potential SAG strike is that writers and actors don’t want to be replaced by AI. Celebrities! They’re just like us! Unless you want to be replaced by a chat bot. Not gonna yuck your yum.

Now, thanks to his interview in Rolling Stone, we know where Samuel L. Jackson stands on the topic (and which phrases you should scratch out of any contract). Unsurprisingly, he’s been anti-image-exploitation since the jump.

“People just started worrying about that?” Jackson said. “I asked about that a long time ago. The first time I got scanned for George Lucas [for The Phantom Menace] I was like, ‘What’s this for?’ George and I are good friends so we kind of had a laugh about it because I thought he was doing it because he had all those old guys in Episode I, and if something happened to them, he still wanted to put ‘em in the movie. Ever since I’ve been in the Marvel Universe, every time you change costumes in a Marvel movie, they scan you. Ever since I did Captain Marvel, and they did the Lola project where they de-aged me and everything else, it’s like, ‘Well, I guess they can do this anytime they want to do it if they really want to!’ It could be something to worry about. Future actors should do what I always do when I get a contract and it has the words ‘in perpetuity’ and ‘known and unknown’ on it: I cross that shit out. It’s my way of saying, ‘No, I do not approve of this.’”

You heard the man. Cross that shit out.

My world has been turned upside down. I thought I knew everything (about Jennifer Lawrence’s mom selling the Oscar winner’s toilet on Craigslist) but it turns out, it was all a lie. Well, maybe not “all” of it, because a recent development in this important news story still involves Jennifer Lawrence and a toilet, but she left out — or conveniently “forgot” — important details.

Last week, Lawrence informed People that Lee Eisenberg, the writing partner of No Hard Feelings director Gene Stupnitsky, “bought a toilet on Craigslist from my mom. My toilet.” Why was the actress’ mom selling her toilet? “I don’t know,” Lawrence said. “I’m like, ‘I broke it.’ My mom sold it for me.”

But now, Lawrence has changed her tune. “I ended up getting it backward,” she told ET (not the alien, but that would be the only way to make this story weirder). “My mom bought Lee‘s toilet. When he clarified and was like, ‘None of this is true.’ I was like, ‘Well, it’s not [not true].’ I literally just got confused about who bought or sold [the toilet].”

I, too, am always forgetting about the status of my used Craigslist toilet.

In other Jennifer Lawrence news, she recently met Ronald from the breakout comedy of 2023, Jury Duty.

More like Jury Poo-y (because of the toilet, you see).
