Rapper Latto promised a juicy first episode of her new Apple Music show, 777 Radio, and she delivered with special guest Chlöe. The “Body Do” singer has maintained a thick skin when it comes to rumors about her. However, when it comes to fans pitting her and her sister Halle Bailey against each with endless comparisons she’s not having it.
The Swarm actress fired off about the topic when asked by the host in the clip shared with People, saying, “Honestly, it really pisses me off.”
Chlöe continued by adding, “I think out of everything, that’s the thing that gets under my skin the most, when people are comparing us, because we are best friends, we’re sisters. Sometimes we forget that we’re not twins, and it’s like, don’t mess with my blood. Don’t mess with her.”
Before the clip ends, Chlöe explained, “Sometimes I just have to brush it off because people only see what they want to make up, what they want to believe, and it’s like, sometimes I don’t need to give off that energy and waste my time explaining something that I know isn’t true.”
The full first episode of 777 Radio featuring Chlöe will be released tomorrow, March 30, at 11 a.m. PT. New episodes of the series will air biweekly on Thursdays exclusively on Apple Music 1. For more information, click here.
The Ted Lasso Power Rankings are a weekly analysis of who and/or what had the strongest performance in each episode. Most of the list will feature individual characters, although the committee does reserve the right to honor anything from animals to inanimate objects to laws of nature to general concepts. There are very few rules here.
Season 3, Episode 3 — “4-5-1”
HONORABLE MENTION: Dani Rojas (quite frankly, I do not like the influence Zava is having on him); landlines (good Lord, we used to just call people and have no clue who would answer); Keeley (media training these goofs must be fun); Isaac (a very intense man); Kintsugi (the art of mending broken things with gold… feels like a metaphor): Higgins (the glue); Will Kitman (a sweet boy); cheating at Wordle (have some honor, for the love of God); Dr. Jacob Bryanson (already hate him); Nate (livid that Ted is having more success, which remains unhealthy); Rupert (showed up for two seconds and shouted a cuss word, which is pretty efficient); montages of winning streaks (love them)
10. (tie) Colin (LAST WEEK: Unranked)
APPLE
Toughest ranking on the board this week. On one hand, things are… not great for Colin. He got benched in favor of Zava and his spot on the roster is in flux and, more importantly, the closeted double life he’s been leading might be in danger of blowing up after Trent saw him smooching his boyfriend (“wingman”) in an alley outside Sam’s new restaurant. None of that is, like, great. Things could get bleak for Colin going forward, if only because the things he wanted people to see him as — starting forward; virile heterosexual; strong and capable man — could all be torched at once. That’s a lot for anybody to handle.
On the other hand, though, I feel like this could be good in the long run. Hiding like that is stressful and just generally unhealthy. Some of that depends on how Trent handles all of this information. We’ll get to that in a minute.
10. (tie) Rebecca (LAST WEEK: 2)
APPLE
Good news and bad news for Rebecca this week…
GOOD: The brilliant goal-scoring diva she negged into joining the team through a strategy best summed up as “cussing in a bathroom” is leading the team on a winning streak that had them rocketing up the standings. Rupert is livid, which is always fun for her. She looked incredible in her fancy dress at dinner. Not bad on those fronts.
BAD: Her mother’s weirdo psychic appears to have nailed the green matchbook thing and that’s going to send Rebecca into a little tailspin for a while, especially given the cussing and shouting she did on the way out of her… house? Office? I don’t really know how psychics designate these things. Their taxes must be a mess.
9. Ted (LAST WEEK: 7)
APPLE
Hmm. Generally not a great thing when your former marriage counselor is now dating your wife and hanging out with your son and you’re sitting alone at night in another country cyberstalking all of them on social media while slugging scotch. It would probably be better if he stopped doing that so much.
The winning streak is nice, though… I guess. But even that’s not super sustainable either. The Zava thing is going to get messy soon and he’s going to have to handle it. That will not be fun. Ted is having problems.
8. Trent Crimm (LAST WEEK: 8)
APPLE
Trent Crimm has some decisions to make here. The journalist in him might have seen Colin mid-smooch in the alley and processed it as a scoop. “Famous soccer player secretly closeted gay man” could move some tabloids. But also… he’s writing a book about the team and might be seeing the narrative arc of Colin’s story — see above, re: benched and closeted — develop in his head as a juicy way to sell more copies. But also… Trent seems like a decent enough dude that he wouldn’t just out someone in public without their consent. I don’t know. I don’t think Trent does either.
My suspicion, because this show is this show, is that Trent will do the honorable thing and maybe tell Colin he saw him but let Colin make the decision on coming out himself. I hope so. Maybe. I would hate to have to hate Trent Crimm.
7. Shandy Fine (LAST WEEK: Unranked)
APPLE
Shandy is:
A good friend who is protective of Keeley
Very direct, in a kind of intimidating way
Willing to run around with her shirt off to provide a distraction
We like Shandy.
6. Sam (LAST WEEK: Unranked)
APPLE
I think it would be fun to stand up in front of your friends and coworkers and shout “EVERYONE IS INVITED TO MY RESTAURANT.” I’ve never gotten to do it, mostly because I have never had a restaurant to invite people to. Which is probably for the best. I would be very bad at running a restaurant. I can’t cook and I am bad at balancing finances. We would be out of business in weeks. There would be so much wasted food. I would probably get desperate and do the thing in wacky sitcoms where I order food from somewhere else and try to pass it off as my own and get caught when someone is like “wow, this tastes just like the lasagna at Louie’s” and I tug on my collar and gulp like a very guilty man. Trent Crimm would really have a scoop then. No, I’ll just stick to blogging.
Good for Sam, though.
5. Roy (LAST WEEK: 3)
APPLE
Three Roy things worth noting:
ONE: The stuff with Jamie is cute because Roy himself dealt with being the best player in a team and then just… not being that anymore, so he is uniquely suited to train Jamie on this.
TWO: He didn’t frown. He just never smiled. It’s different.
THREE: Freaking adorable that he offered to do an interview if it would help Keeley.
The Grinch’s heart continues to grow. Roy is in danger of becoming a sweetheart. Not, like, soon. But someday. Maybe. He still does growl a lot.
4. Tish the Psychic (LAST WEEK: Unranked)
APPLE
Nailed the matchbook thing. Has some nice bowls. Appears to have arguments with spirits that are all talking to her at once. We like her.
I want her to give everyone on the team a reading. I can’t decide who would react the funniest to it. Isaac would hate it. Roy would curse and grumble. Jamie would be into it, I bet. Beard would start talking to spirits, too. The only thing I know for certain is that it would shake Dani Rojas to his core.
3. Zava (LAST WEEK: 9)
APPLE
Notes on Zava:
I loved watching him mangle metaphors in Rebecca’s office, from “I am an empty vessel filled with gold” (so… not empty) to “I am your rock. Mold me” (rocks… cannot be molded) and I kind of want to read a self-help book he writes and self-publishes
Really nice touch setting the Zava montage to Jesus Christ Superstar
Am… am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the egomaniac athlete who looks like he does ayahuasca in a tent in the off-season kind of resembles Aaron Rodgers?
Lots to consider here.
2. Jamie (LAST WEEK: Unranked)
APPLE
Jamie should be ranked lower. He’s pouting a lot and whining about Zava and having a kind of existential crisis about who he is if he’s not the best player on the team. He had a very pretty goal stolen from him when Zava snaked around and poked it in. He’s a sad little boy and his haircut doesn’t help.
But…
It remains really funny to me that he’s secretly smart and good at using language. Him correcting Beard on the irony/hypocrisy thing and correcting Roy on the pre-Madonna business was a good time. I want them all to do pub trivia someday and watch him wipe the floor with everyone. Let him go on Jeopardy. I bet he pronounces it Jeopard-eh. Dammit. I went and talked myself into needing to see something that will never happen. I do that more than I would like to admit. Never ends well.
Following the school shooting in Nashville this week, Twitter users have been aggressively sharing a now-viral video of Jon Stewart calling out the right for refusing to enact any form of gun control. In the fiery clip from a month-old episode of The Problem with Jon Stewart, the comedian lambasts the GOP for wanting every restriction under the sun when it comes to schools and teachers yet refusing to do anything about the one thing that is actually harming children: guns.
Here’s a full transcript of Stewart’s impassioned words:
“The right wants strict rules for everything. From what teachers can teach to who can read to children to what color mermaids are. For God’s sake, they want any registry of who’s having their periods. For I assume the maintenance of well-regulated menstruation. But when it comes to just f*cking filling out paperwork to get a gun, too far! But inconvenience is not the same as infringement. Your fear of some dystopian authoritarian future is making it impossible for the rest of us to make life better in our dystopian present.”
The poignancy of the resurfaced clip is hitting hard on Twitter as people rushed to praise Stewart for condemning the right’s inaction when it comes to gun violence. You can see some of the reactions below:
Once again: Jon Stewart is not my favorite human. But he is on the side of the damn angels on this and we need all the help we can get. https://t.co/xc5Euow1IH

“What you’re telling me is you don’t mind infringing free speech to protect children from this amorphous thing that you think of,” Stewart said to Nashville State Senator Nathan Dahm. “But when it comes to children that have died, you don’t give a flying f— to stop that because that shall not be infringed.”
It was another brutal takedown by Stewart that, sadly, will continue to have relevance for a long time to come.
There’s always something very touching about receiving a gift from your child, especially when you know it’s something that they really put their heart into creating. A video posted to TikTok by Aaron Gouveia shows that sometimes a child can give a gift that’s so surprising it’s almost too much to handle.
Gouveia, 43, is a Massachusetts father of three who posts videos as “Daddy Files” on TikTok about the joys and challenges of family life. On March 26, he posted a video featuring his son Sam, 9, that was so heartwarming it has received over 12.4 million views.
According to Today.com, Sam is a neurodivergent fourth-grader who’s been teased by classmates for wearing nail polish. His father believes he struggles to get along with kids his age because they “don’t understand him or his interests.”
A year ago, Sam began taking a sewing class at school, and in the video, he showed his dad the blue patterned shirt he made for him.
“I got a shirt that I made at sewing class,” Sam said, holding the shirt in his hands.
Sam made me a shirt! Wow. #sewing #sewingtiktok #samsewgood #boyswhosew #parenting #raisingboys
“I did the buttons, and I did the button holes,” Sam continued. “I got some help, but I did most of it by myself.”
Gouveia then tried his son’s creation on and looked at himself in the mirror. The shirt fit him perfectly. He seemed astonished that his young son was able to make something so well-crafted with so little experience. Gouveia pored over all of the details of the shirt, especially the ‘70s-style lapel.
“The collar is so unique,” he noted. He was also impressed by the box pleat on the back of the shirt that Sam admitted was “hard” to stitch together.
At the end of the video, Sam said he had his father’s style in mind while designing the shirt.
“Why did you choose this pattern?” Gouveia asked.
“Why I chose the pattern is, it just looks cool to me. It stands out to me,” Sam replied. “And it goes with jeans like you usually wear.”
The proud father then asked if he could wear the shirt out to dinner that night.
“Uh yeah,” Sam replied, beaming with pride.
In a follow-up video posted on March 27, Sam thanks people for the support he’s received and says that he’s now taking orders for shirts and dresses. The transformation in Sam is delightful because he was a little insecure when he first handed the shirt to his father. But after the overwhelming support he’s gotten in the 92,000 comments the video received on TikTok, he’s excited to share his talents with the world.
Bus stop interview with my celebrity child. 🤣 Good news: Your overwhelming support made him open to doing commissions! 🪡 Thank you for 8.5M views! #sewing #sewingtiktok #samsewgood #sewingforyoupage #parenting #fashion #fashiontiktok
“That caught me off guard,” Gouveia told Today.com. “He hasn’t wanted to make things for people. You can even see in my first video, he’s nervous. He has a lot of anxiety and doesn’t want to disappoint anyone. But after reading all the positive comments, he was like, ‘Well, I can do it!’”
Robin Williams was a gem of a person. The comedian knew how to keep people laughing, but as the years go on after his untimely death, we hear more stories about what a good friend he was. Recently, Williams’ kind nature was the topic of conversation between Willie Geist and “Murders in the Building” star Nathan Lane on “Sunday Today“.
Lane sat down for an interview to discuss his new play, and during the conversation, he reminisced about his first big role in the 1996 movie, “The Birdcage.” In the movie, he played a gay man that was married to Williams’ character and the pair were trying to marry off their straight son to a nice woman who had conservative parents. For Lane, the movie mirrored part of his personal life as he was actually a gay man and not just playing a part for the screen.
But this was the 90s, when being gay wasn’t as openly discussed or accepted as it is today, so it’s understandable why Lane wasn’t prepared for a public announcement.
Lane explained that when he and Williams were about to be interviewed by Oprah, he was nervous she would ask him about his sexuality, unintentionally forcing him to out himself.
“I said to Robin beforehand, ‘I’m not prepared. I’m so scared of going out there and talking to Oprah. I’m not prepared to discuss that I’m gay on national television. I’m not ready,'” Lane told “Sunday Today“. “He said, ‘Oh, it’s alright, don’t worry about it. If you don’t want to talk about it, we won’t talk about it,'” the actor recalled.
Then came the moment of truth. Oprah started to poke at the question in a joking, roundabout way and that was Robin’s cue to swoop in. With Lane now providing more context, you can see Williams distract the host with his typical wit and humor in the clip of the Oprah interview below.
Daniel Le recently proposed to his girlfriend, Annie, by renting out a movie theater for a screening of the 2022 hit A24 movie “Everything, Everywhere All At Once.” Unbeknownst to Annie, this version of the film would be cleverly edited to have Le playing key characters, all leading up to asking for her hand in marriage.
Le contacted multiple independent theaters before finding one that would accommodate his elaborate plan. Then, using a bit of editing wizardry—along with some help from his friends, who arrived at the theater before showtime to hide in the dark so Annie wouldn’t see them—he delivered the surprise of a lifetime.
The funniest part is watching Annie slowly start to get suspicious, even asking, “Why is the [film] quality so bad?” followed by the gleeful laugh of realization as Le shows up on screen in full Dierdre garb, bob wig and all, followed by…well…no spoilers.
Every detail about this proposal, just like the movie it’s based on, is equal parts hilarious and sweet in all the right ways.
But the real pièce de résistance comes during the live portion (seen in a follow-up video) when Le gets down on one knee and can be heard saying, “As long as I get to do laundry and taxes with you,” a nod to an iconic line in the film.
Without further ado, watch “Annie-thing, Annie-where, All At Once” below. It’s perfection.
Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin are two of the most famous figures of the 20th century for completely different reasons, and an exchange early in their friendship sums up those differences perfectly—and hilariously.
According to the Nobel Prize committee, Einstein had only been keenly interested in meeting one person in Hollywood: Charlie Chaplin. He got the chance while visiting the U.S. when the scientist and silent film star were introduced during a tour of Universal Studios. The two hit it off, and in 1931, Einstein attended the premiere of Chaplin’s 1931 film, “City Lights.”
Reportedly, the men exchanged an expression of mutual admiration that demonstrated the actor’s quick wit.
“What I most admire about your art, is your universality,” Einstein said to Chaplin. “You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!”
Chaplin replied with perfect comedic timing.
“True. But your glory is even greater!” he told the physicist. “The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.”
The anecdote was shared by the Nobel Prize organization, but there is some question as to the accuracy of the quotes—though not the sentiment of the joke.
According to Quote Investigator, there are a few published accounts of similar quotes referring to Chaplin being beloved because everyone understands him and Einstein being admired because no one does. For instance, in October 1933, an article written by Charlie Chaplin for “Woman’s Home Companion” included the following anecdote attributing a similar quote to Einstein’s son:
“We sat down to delicious home-baked tarts made by Mrs. Einstein. During the course of conversation, his son remarked on the psychology of the popularity of Einstein and myself.
“‘You are popular,’ he said, ‘because you are understood by the masses. On the other hand, the professor’s popularity with the masses is because he is not understood.'”
In another instance, the joke was attributed to Chaplin. Einstein’s physician and friend János Plesch shared in a memoir published in 1947:
“Once when Einstein was in Hollywood on a visit Chaplin drove him through the town. As the people on the sidewalks recognized two of their greatest, if very different, contemporaries, they gave them a tremendous reception which greatly astonished Einstein. ‘They’re cheering us both,” said Chaplin: “you because nobody understands you, and me because everybody understands me.’ There was a good-humoured pride in his remark, and at the same time a certain humility as at a recognition of the difference between ready popularity and lasting greatness.”
Different biographies of Chaplin and Einstein include different versions of the story, including the one shared by the Nobel Prize organization on Instagram. Though we don’t know for sure exactly what was said or by whom, it’s clear that the two men shared a joke about their unique paths to fame and popularity.
How delightful that the mutual admiration of these two legends not only led to them meeting but forging a genuine, if unlikely, friendship.
You can take the New England Patriots off the list of potential suitors for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Earlier in the week, Patriots owner Robert Kraft revealed that Meek Mill told him that Jackson wants to play for the team. Kraft said a decision would ultimately be made by Bill Belichick, and according to a report by Jeff Howe of The Athletic, it appears the team will eschew the chance to pursue Jackson and roll into the 2023 season with Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe.
According to Howe, “the price on Jackson in salary and draft compensation being too much of a non-starter.” Jackson received the non-exclusive franchise tag from the Ravens earlier this offseason, meaning he could agree to a deal with another team and, if Baltimore does not match it, go to them for the price of two first-round NFL Draft picks. But as Howe noted, the Patriots are in a position where meeting Jackson’s widely-reported high asking price for a new deal in a market set by Deshaun Watson’s contract with the Cleveland Browns is not appealing, no matter how they would go about acquiring him.
Via The Athletic:
The Ravens placed the $32.4 million franchise tag on Jackson, so the team still has its share of leverage in the matter. If the Patriots signed Jackson to an offer sheet, they would ship their next two first-round draft picks to Baltimore if the Ravens didn’t match the terms. Plus, for Jackson to agree to an offer sheet, the Patriots would almost certainly need to give him a contract worth far more money than they ever extended to Tom Brady.
So what about a trade? In theory, the Patriots could test Jackson’s true desire to link up, attempt to convince him to accept a far more affordable deal and offer the Ravens a trade package — say, three first-round picks — to get the Ravens onboard with such a move.
Jackson announced earlier this week that he requested a trade from the Ravens as the beginning of the month, one that has failed to materialize.
The Flash is proving to be a Justice League reunion, with Michael Keaton as the proverbial cherry on top. The next film in the DC Extended Universe, which has seen its fair share of controversy, will bring together Ezra Miller’s The Flash, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Keaton’s Batman, Michael Shannon’s General Zod, and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. Or at least Diana of Themyscira was supposed to show up, until her scene was reportedly cut. Or maybe it will be added back in! Who knows with this movie. Or with all things DCEU, honestly. But we do know how Wonder Woman fits into the film, thanks to Affleck.
“I don’t wanna give a spoiler, but it was a scene where I get caught. I get saved by Wonder Woman during a conflagration with some bad guys,” he said on the Smartless podcast. “And she saves me by, I mean, I’m sure the spoiler, DC assassins are gonna get me, [but] she saves me with the Lasso of Truth. And so what happens is that Batman divulges some of his real feelings about his life and his work.” That sounds like confirmation that Gadot is no longer in the movie; otherwise, Affleck wouldn’t have revealed the entire scene.
The Dunkin fanatic called The Flash the “best sh*t I have done as Batman! I finally figured out how to play the guy! I know I quit, but I got it now!” And all it took was nearly a half-dozen attempts.
Many Americans likely feel numb due to the near constant news of mass shootings in these times. These tragedies often include school shootings, as with last year’s Uvalde massacre that saw Matthew McConaughey make an impassioned plea following the gun violence in his hometown. As well, lawmakers have necessarily waded into the discourse, and that includes GOP representatives who are providing excuses about why meaningful change won’t happen with gun laws.
Tennessee, of course, is currently reeling from the Nashville school massacre, in which a shooter killed four people, a nine-year-old girl among them. Melissa Joan Hart (former star of Sabrina The Teenage Witch) lives in Nashville and found herself not too far from where the shooting occurred. As she described in an Instagram post, Melissa and her husband were actually en route to school conferences when the violence broke out.
The actress and her family had moved to Nashville from Connecticut, close to where the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre took place. The clip, which Hart filmed on the day of the shooting, is a short one that speaks volumes:
“We helped a class of kindergartners across a busy highway that were climbing out of the woods. They were trying to escape the shooter situation at their school. We helped all these tiny little kids cross the road and get their teachers over there, and we helped a mom reunite with her children…. I just don’t know what to say anymore. It is just, enough is enough.”
Hart and her family are all accounted for and safe. Watch her full video below.
