The list of people, places, and things that Marjorie Taylor Greene has a problem with is a pretty extensive one, and most notably includes: Nancy Pelosi, underwear that don’t protect you from farts, people reminding her that she was the “surprise guest” at a white nationalist event, properly cooked turkey, gazpacho, feral hogs, student loan forgiveness, mask mandates, having her rights “fragrantly” violated, and, of course, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And on Wednesday, she added yet another name to her sh*t list: Herschel Walker.

As if the former football pro hasn’t suffered enough humiliation since announcing his bid for U.S. Senate — including a ton of secret children coming forward, an ex-girlfriend (and mother of one of his children) sharing the get-well card and check the pro-life candidate sent her for an abortion, and, well, losing. Now he’s got Greene on his ass, complaining about how she could have helped him win over the state of Georgia. Which is an absolutely frightening thought.

On Wednesday, Greene celebrated Festivus early by airing her grievances against Team Herschel while chatting with Steve Bannon (wait, he’s not in prison?!). In true Republican-speak, Greene complained that “I was never asked very often by the Herschel Walker campaign to come speak at his events.”

So was it never? Or only sometimes? As she continued talking, we got the answer:

They only asked me to come to maybe two, I think. Two or three in my own district, when he was campaigning all over the state, running for Senate. But they only asked me a couple of times in my own district, which I find extremely insulting.

Others, however, might see it differently. And think that only asking an unhinged conspiracy theorist to be your hype woman in the district that actually voted her into office — TWICE! — was actually one of the few smart decisions the Walker campaign made. Well, that and not yanking Walker right off the stage when he began talking about whether it’s cooler to be a werewolf or a vampire.

You can watch Marge express her disappointment for yourself above.

ASAP Rocky hasn’t released a new album for nearly five years after 2018’s Testing, so the anticipation for his next album — which appears to be on the way — is sky-high. In a new interview with GQ, he revealed a few more details about the upcoming project, including its heavy input from Atlanta superproducer Metro Boomin. “I’m gonna put it to you like this,” he said. “This next album needs to be just called Flacko Boomin, you hear me?”

This is good news for fans of their chemistry in collaborations like “Feel The Fiyaaaah” from Metro’s newly released album Heroes & Villains — chemistry Rocky said stems from their first meeting ten years ago. “[ASAP] Yams [Rocky’s former manager, who died from an overdose in 2015] linked me and Metro in 2012,” he recalled. “This is before he’s working with a lot of people in Atlanta. He was still in college. ASAP Yams told me Metro was gonna be Metro. He was like, ‘This is the kid I’m telling you.’ So, Yams wanted this.”

Rocky made sure to assert that he’s working with Metro because of their connection, not Metro’s current hot streak. “Most artists wanna make [collabs just because they’re hot],” he insisted. “For us, it’s like, that’s really my n****.”

The road to Rocky’s next album already has its first piece in his new single “Sh*ttin Me,” which references his Rolling Loud mosh pit mishap in its dystopic video.

Despite being on the guest list, Kim Kardashian was noticeably absent from The Hollywood Reporter‘s Women in Entertainment breakfast on Wednesday morning. With no one made a big deal out of Kardashian’s absence, Seth Rogen decided to have a little fun with the elephant in the room. However, his route quickly went south when the actor realized that Kardashian undoubtedly has her hands full dealing with Kanye West and his recent Hitler love fest.

“Are we going to talk about how Kim Kardashian didn’t show up? Is that going to happen?” Rogen joked at the podium where Kardashian was supposed to be a presenter. Rogen then proceeded to roast the reality star until the awkward moment when he seemingly remembered that Kanye exists. Via Page Six:

“I’ll say is this… I have seen every episode of ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians,’ I know she is not doing something more important than this. I’ve seen 100,000 hours of her. She’s never done something more important than this. This would be the climax of the show.”

The comic actor then wondered, “What is she doing? I don’t know.” But he added, “She’s honestly… she’s probably dealing with a lot right now.”

Oof. As for the real reason for Kardashian’s absence, her camp said it was simply a scheduling mixup and made it a point to note that the reality star “never cancels.”

“The wrong event date was given to Kim’s team several weeks ago,” a Kardashian source told Page Six. “The error was realized only on Monday, and unfortunately her schedule could not be moved around at the last minute due to a prior work commitment. She was incredibly disappointed to not be able to attend.”

While Donald Trump has spent more than a week desperately attempting to erase the fact that he hosted infamous white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for dinner at Mar-a-Lago, he apparently sees no issue in welcoming a group of QAnon conspiracy theorists to his Palm Beach golf club. (His “supernanny” must have had the night off.)

As The Daily Beast reports, Trump spent Tuesday night meeting with — and fawning over — a group of QAnon conspiracy theorists who were hosting a far-right fundraiser at the former president’s Palm Beach golf club and residence. Liz Crokin, a noted Pizzagate theorist, took to Telegram to write about what a “privilege and honor” it was “to speak at America’s Future fundraiser to combat child trafficking at Mar-A-Lago.” She also noted that she did, indeed, discuss Pizzagate.

For his part, Trump just seemed thrilled that anyone was excited to meet him. In a video that was filmed at the event, he told the room full of QAnon quacks that “You are incredible people, you are doing unbelievable work, and we just appreciate you being here, and we hope you’re going to be back.”

The Daily Beast did not receive a response after reaching out to the Trump campaign for a comment.

Stephen King continues to make Twitter worth browsing despite, well, the current situation over there. The microwave salmon and English muffin addict is known to swing far and wide with his subjects of discussion. I still want to know more about why he’s so drawn to Manifest (does he love the soap-operatics of the story, or is he entertained by herrings so red that they’s positively bleeding?). For now, the regular dad jokes and literary references will do.

In this installment of mundane-yet-still-entertaining tweet subjects, King took a diversion into favorite t-shirt land. Here’s the Cell author’s prime example from his own dresser: “If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ’em.”

Those are wise words. I’d add that the books should bear a slightly worn quality, which suggests that they’re not mere impulse purchases that turned into strategic slices of decor. A well-stocked Kindle should qualify, in my opinion, although that’s obviously nothing that one can or should dig into unless invited. There should also be an addendum on the back of a t-shirt to showcase how Elaine from Seinfeld feels about bathroom books. That might kill the vibe for some people, but it could also help. Heck, I say that it’s a good weeding-out process for the future.

There are a ton of different ways musicians can tackle holiday songs. There’s the Phoebe Bridgers approach, which is just picking the bleakest Christmas ballad you can find and making it even sadder, like with last month’s “So Much Wine.” You can write your own song, like David Byrne just did with “Fat Man’s Comin’.” The Linda Lindas went the latter route, sharing the invigorating “Groovy Xmas,” and now they’ve performed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

On a stage lit up with red and green and decorated with Christmas trees, the band brought their holiday spirit and punk energy, bundling both into one. They got the audience dancing as they propelled the song forward with exciting riffs and catchy harmonies.

About the track, The Linda Lindas said upon its release, “There are so many cool Christmas songs that we love to dance to, and a lot of them are by our favorite punk bands: Alice Bag, Red Kross, Shonen Knife. We were inspired by them to write our own carol that you can add to your jolly playlist and enjoy at holiday gatherings! Please sing along and share: and we hope you have a very Groovy Xmas and an awesome new year!”

Watch their performance above.

Atlanta rapper Young Nudy has been on the rise over the past couple of years after dropping well-received projects such as the Sli’merre mixtape with Pi’erre Bourne, and his albums Anyways, Dr. Ev4l, and Rich Shooter. Most recently, he reunited with Bourne for EA Monster and featured on Metro Boomin’s star-studded new album Heroes & Villains alongside his cousin 21 Savage, raising his profile considerably in 2022. So, it’s understandable that fans are hungry for more new music from Nudy; however, someone went to more extreme lengths to get it, resulting in the leak of over 100 songs from Nudy and fellow Atlanta rappers like 21, Gunna, and Young Thug. Obviously, Nudy was not happy with the culprit.

“I don’t know if y’all know, I’m not like other rappers,” he responded in a video posted on his social media. “I’m 100 percent finna take my time out to find out 100 percent who exactly is leaking my music. And I’m 100 percent gonna pull up at whatever studio it is and I’m 100 percent gon’ beat your ass, on my mama.”

Considering the leak was mostly Atlanta-based artists, the going theory is that the leaker(s) had access to a recording studio frequented by the above names and likely made off with a hard drive containing the tracks (sort of the downside of digital audio recording. It’s way harder to steal tapes). It’s also possible that the hard drive was mislaid or even stolen when an engineer took it home for legitimate reasons.

Let’s hope that, for once, the police find the leakers and bring them to justice before Nudy does anything that could land him in jail. We want to see him flourish, not get caught up over some nonsense.

“Mia Goth should star in every horror movie.”

“Mia Goth knows how to play unhinged in MANY WAYS and play it well.”

“Mia Goth sure is the new horror queen.”

Those are the first three YouTube comments I saw under the trailer for Infinity Pool. They’re right to say it. The new film from Brandon Cronenberg (David’s son) stars Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman as a married couple staying at an island resort, but after they encounter “the seductive and mysterious Gabi,” played by Goth, and leave the grounds, weird sh*t starts to happen. It’s a strong follow-up to Goth’s excellent 2022, where she gave career-best performances in X and Pearl.

You can watch the trailer below. Here’s the official plot synopsis:

While staying at an isolated island resort, James (Alexander Skarsgård) and Em (Cleopatra Coleman) are enjoying a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi (Mia Goth), they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you’ll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.

Infinity Pool opens in 2023.

While Herschel “I’d Rather Be a Werewolf” Walker’s loss to Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate runoff election was the big news on Wednesday, a pretty big story about Donald Trump also emerged. As Jimmy Kimmel shared on Wednesday night, at least two more classified documents were found in a storage unit the former president keeps in Palm Beach.

As Kimmel explained, per The Washington Post, Trump’s legal team completed a search of both his Bedminster golf club and Trump Tower and came up with bupkis as far as any top-secret documents go. “They did a lot of digging, and all they came up with was an ex-wife,” said Kimmel — who we truly wish was joking. They did, however, find some classified info floating around another spot, Kimmel said:

While no top-secret files were found at the golf club in Bedminster or at Trump Tower, his team did find at least two classified documents in a storage locker he keeps in Palm Beach. According to a source, they found the documents alongside suits, swords, and wrestling belts.

You know, it’s a sad day when you realize your former president’s storage unit and your 5-year old son’s Christmas list are exactly the same.

You can watch the full clip above, beginning around the 2:35 mark.

This week brought news of a massive shake-up at DC Studios as James Gunn prepares to unveil his sprawling 10-yea plans for the franchise. Tucked inside The Hollywood Reporter‘s bombshell report on Gunn and co-chief Peter Safran pulling the plug on Wonder Woman 3 is an interesting little nugget about Jason Momoa. The actor is still putting the finishing touches on the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which may be his last time as the aquatic character.

According to several insiders, Aquaman will be the final project shoved out the door by the previous regime and what’s shaping up to to be the last vestige of the Snyderverse whose presence at DC Studios appears to be rapidly dwindling. However, in an unprecedented move, Momoa could be making the jump to another DC Comics character: The “foul-mouthed cigar-chomping intergalactic bounty hunter” Lobo.

Via THR:

Whether or not Momoa does play everybody’s favorite bastich, Lobo emerging as a rising character early on in the conversation may point to the kinds of characters the Gunn-Safran team may be focusing on. The character is an outsider, an anti-hero, and is keeping in line with Gunn’s specialty of taking the off-beat and quirky and flipping it into crowd-pleasing fare.

Interestingly, the Lobo news jibes with recent public comments by both Momoa and Gunn. Last month, Momoa revealed that one of his “dreams come true” will be happening over at DC Studios, and Gunn recently teased fans by sharing that his Spotify Wrapped list contained a hint to his secret DC project. After noticing a heavy amount of rock, particularly “Sleaze Rock,” fans filled up Gunn’s replies with speculation that the writer/director would be bringing Lobo to the DC Universe.

Gunn has yet to address the THR report, but given his penchant for openly communicating with fans, it should only be a matter of time until we get some concrete answers from the man himself.
