Tiffany Trump couldn’t have picked a worse wedding date. Not only did her father’s Mar-a-Lago resort get pummeled by Hurricane Nicole, but the former president was in a foul mood coming off the midterm elections. After the Republicans failed to produce a “red wave,” Donald Trump‘s standing in the party descended into doubt as even Fox News questioned whether he should run for president in 2024. These were not the ideal conditions for a wedding ceremony, and The View had a field day with the whole thing.

The panel immediately kicked things off by jumping on Ivanka Trump for possibly cropping Kimberly Guilfoyle out of a photo that she posted to Instagram. Even though Ivanka later posted the full photo in an Instagram story, according to Daily Mail, it’s easy to poke fun at the situation.

Via Mediaite, here’s what The View had to say in response:

“Well, I stand with Ivanka on this. Kimberly didn’t understand the assignment. It’s a Florida wedding in November,” said [Alyssa Farah] Griffin. “All the women clearly knew what the palette was, what the look was, and she was dressed like she was going to, like, a MAGA funeral or something. I’m going to be honest. I probably would have cropped her too.”

However, seeing an opening, co-host Ana Navarro came to Guilfoyle’s defense. Although, in a deliciously backhanded way.

“Maybe it’s completely the opposite,” Navarro said. “Maybe she did get the assignment because it was a MAGA funeral.”

In fairness, the event wasn’t exactly jovial, and it’s hard to pinpoint who was the bigger cloud over the ceremony: the hurricane or Donald Trump. According to the New York Post, the former president was “grumpy and unhappy” at the rehearsal dinner because his political rival Ron DeSantis came out of the midterms looking like a winner.

“He’s in a bad mood,” a source at Tiffany’s rehearsal told the Post.

The White Lotus Misery Index is a weekly accounting of who and/or what is having the worst time in paradise in season two of the HBO series. The rankings are based on a number of factors, none of which can or will be quantified in any way. We are doing art here, not science.

UNRANKED: Lucia and Mia (woke up from a jacuzzi threesome, kind of got fired, hooked up with Cam and Ethan, really just a full day); Greg (still a scumbag but being married to Tanya seems exhausting); Giuseppe the Piano Man (still a creep); the hot tattoo guy in the pool (there’s always one); Bert (I kind of want him to discover a dead body and spend the rest of the trip solving a murder); jet ski montages (love them); elephants, generally (ready to watch an elephant documentary now); the old dudes playing The Godfather music in the little square (must be so sick of that song)

10. Cameron and Daphne (Last week: Unranked)

Up until this episode, these two had been depicted as a pair of hot bozos with no worries, which, as far as living goes, is not the worst way to barrel through life, all things considered. But there was always something weird there. They couldn’t have been that happy. No one is.

And guess what: they’re not! They don’t do it in the more straightforward way other couples on this show do it (see: Harper and Ethan bickering in their room, Greg and Tanya melting down in public once a day), but it’s just as ugly in its own subtle way, with Cam cheating every time his groin leads him to a prostitute like a divining rod and Daphne running off on little adventures that she’s designed to torture him. It’s somehow the most and least healthy relationship on the show. I hate them both very much.

9. Valentina the Manager (Last week: 7)

We saw Valentina off of the hotel grounds twice this week and in those two glimpses into her personal life she was:

• Cussing out dudes in a coffee shop
• Feeding stray cats on the street while eating lunch out of a Tupperware container

I worry about her. She works too hard and I think it’s wearing her down. She pretty clearly hates every guest in the hotel, which is not unreasonable given… every guest in the hotel. I hope she wins the lottery and moves to Miami.

8. Salvo the Coffee Shop Man (Last week: Unranked)

Once again, we find ourselves in a situation where two things can be true…

ON ONE HAND: This was an episode that took a magnifying glass to the male gaze, with dozens of Sicilian dudes skeeving on Harper and Cameron pontificating on the flaws of monogamy like the worst college sophomore you’ve ever met and Dom fighting his instinct to eye up every woman in a shiny top in all of Europe, and this guy in the coffee shop set the ball in motion early on by trying and failing to chat up Valentina while she was ordering coffee.

ON THE OTHER HAND: I would kind of like to know what he thought happened there. I think he thought he was being nice but ran into a buzzsaw of centuries of boorish macho behavior and a woman who was not having any of it in that particular moment. I suspect he was very confused.

7. Dominic (Last week: 8)

His dad overheard the jacuzzi threesome and kind of won’t stop talking about it. He told his son he wasn’t going to put him in the middle of his failing marriage and then basically did exactly that about 20 seconds later. He paid Lucia and Mia to go away and then spent the rest of the night ogling every woman within a 500 feet radius like the Terminator. Insists he’s a feminist despite… you know… everything else happening in this paragraph. It’s not going great.

Also: I know I’ve said this before, at least once, but it is impossible for me to watch Michael Imperioli be a hopelessly dense goofball without hearing Tony Sirico as Paulie Walnuts in my head just tearing him apart. It’s really fun if you picture Paulie as like a super progressive dude with strong opinions about creating positive and healthy relationships with the woman in your life and him lecturing Dom about it over drinks. If I ever whiff on an important plot point in one of these posts, or if I just get something completely wrong, please know that I was probably thinking about something like this instead.

6. Albie (Last week: 1)

He’s a sweet boy who has no idea how to behave thanks in large part to his father’s raging libido and his fancy private school education and his whole plan to woo Portia — he absolutely gamed out that “bring her a beer and kiss her” move for hours and probably settled on a beer over another drink because it seemed cool/chill — went sideways because some tatted up himbo with sensitive nipples hopped into the pool 30 seconds earlier. Kid cannot get out of his own way or catch a single break.

It would be really funny if he ends up with Tanya, in part because they would be such a fascinating pair to watch do anything together and in part to let Jennifer Coolidge play her greatest hits once again. I might start openly rooting for this, just for the chaos of it all.

5. The Sicilian Fortune Teller (Last week: Unranked)

She was:

• Dragged into a rich lady’s suite to read tarot cards
• Yelled at when the cards provided a less-than-ideal reading
• Chased out of the room while being accused of being too negative

Not great as far as afternoons go. On the other hand, her whole thing reminded me of this tweet…

… so it’s not all bad. For me. Still not great for her. Or Tanya. Or Portia. Or anyone but me, really. Lots to consider here.

4. Portia (Last week: 4)

Portia is having a tough one. She pretty clearly hates her job and where she’s at in life. She seems very depressed, based only on her speech about everything being boring. All she wants is one damn adventure in her life but instead she’s stuck in this beautiful hotel with a needy boss who makes her sit on the couch and read Vanity Fair while she sleeps and a sweet boy who is terrified to kiss her. The best advice anyone has given her through three episodes was Tanya telling her not to chase emotionally unavailable men, which is fair and sound and pretty freaking rich given the source.

When you type it all out like that it reads like the description of a person who is having a midlife crisis, which is not great when you consider she’s like 22 years old. Maybe she should try skydiving.

3. Tanya (Last week: 5)

Bullet points once again:

• Husband left to go be with another woman even as she offered to rip up their prenup, which was so sad and pathetic I had to look away from the screen for a second
• Maybe the most emotionally needy person ever depicted on the small screen
• Spending a lot of her vacation crying and drinking alone

Jennifer Coolidge is the greatest. Just putting on a masterclass. If they don’t at least consider this…

… for the next go-round, I will be livid. I could see her and Miss Piggy getting along really well and then fighting over Kermit.

2. Harper (Last week: 2)

Harper started the day by waking up early against her nature and spritzing her cleavage and flipping her hair and really just pulling out everything in her feminine arsenal to get Ethan to look at her after his run and still getting absolutely nowhere, even after she promised to try to be cheery and upbeat all day, also against her nature. And what did it get her? A day of creeps leering at her and a bad run with an edible and a phone call to her husband that went straight to voicemail as he and Cameron entertained a pair of Sicilian prostitutes in the room they left unoccupied.

Yes, sure, Ethan didn’t do anything with Mia, and yes, sure, the edible has her brain humming loud enough to be audible from 6-8 feet away, but still. Harper is not having fun right now. This is what you get for waking up early. Let us all learn this lesson.

1. Ethan (Last week: 10)

It’s not as easy to notice because Ethan is quiet and just wants people to be happy but this dude is a mess. It’s probably the massive influx of money. It’s screwing with him and his idea of who he is. He has no interest in his wife sexually, and no interest in the cute prostitute who was kissing his face either. His quote-unquote friend is pretty openly angling for his money for an investment scheme in his broseph financial company and even more openly asking for illegal insider tips going forward. Everyone wants something from him and he has no idea what to give them or how to even do it.

The only time he seems happy is when he’s out running alone at the crack of dawn, which is depressing on about three or four different levels. I worry about Ethan a lot.

Daytime shows have courted controversy long before the Ellen DeGeneres fiasco of recent years. Back in the 1980s, Geraldo Rivera’s mustache lit up some fuses and even sat alongside a broken nose in the process. Years later, Jerry Springer took over the slot previously occupied by Phil Donahue, and the rest was pop cultural history.

In 2018, The Jerry Springer Show look a bow after 27 years full of literal and metaphorical throw downs. Cheaters were exposed, food was thrown in the air for no good reason, and there remain questions about whether some guests were actually actors. Whatever the case, Springer now feels badly about showcasing the lowest common denominator of American society for profit. Via NME, Springer appeared on David Yontef’s Behind the Velvet Rope podcast and admitted that he harbors regrets:

“I just apologize… I’m so sorry. What have I done? I’ve ruined the culture… I just hope hell isn’t that hot because I burn real easy. I’m very light-complected, and that kind of worries me.”

Clearly, this is a bit of a joke, but it’s true that Springer, Rivera, Donahue, Sally Jesse Raphael, Jenny Jones, and many others sure did do their best to tank American culture on daytime TV. The audience was there for them, too, proving that the responsibility can be spread around for sure. And Jerry surely never imagined that his show would become tied to a real-life murder case when a guest killed another guest after a particularly unsettling on-air confrontation. That’s an extreme case, but at least to some degree, Springer sounds like he wouldn’t mind erasing some TV sins of the past.

Despite initially wanting to keep the relationship under wraps, Lizzo offered her fans a sweet glimpse into her new romance with Myke Wright.

The Michigan singer announced her recent bliss via Instagram this past summer at a “For Your Consideration” event in Los Angeles. Lizzo posted a compilation of photos, including a few snaps of the happy couple.

“Ima boss ass b*tch, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch #FYC,” she wrote in her caption.

Lizzo and Wright’s relationship dates back to 2016 when the couple met and eventually worked together as co-hosts and stars of MTV’s Wonderland, US Weekly reports.

Romance rumors began to swirl about the duo in the spring of 2021 after the “Good as Hell” singer and Wright were caught cuddling and kissing. Around that time, she also shared an Instagram video of her engaging in a lip lock with a mysterious man out of the frame.

Not long after, Lizzo stopped by SiriusXM’s Radio Andy to chat with host Andy Cohen, confirming that she was dating someone special who wasn’t bothered by her fame and success.

“If you have the right person, no, not at all. [Fame is] not even a factor,” she told Cohen.

Fast forward to August 2022, the singer was seen holding hands with her man in New York shortly before she performed at the 2022 MTV VMAs.

In other news, the singer has plans to add a second North American leg of her The Special 2our, with Latto staying on as the opener.

Last night (November 13), Feid revealed that his next album Sixdo is coming next month. The Colombian singer also released the music video for his new single “Malibu.”

Feid is riding high off the sucesss of his latest release Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos El Álbum. Despite the LP leaking online ahead of schedule in September, it’s gone on to become the biggest drop of his career. The album was certified gold in the US after its first week out. The LP also became Feid’s first to reach the top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot Latin Albums chart when it climbed to No. 8.

Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos El Álbum was originally scheduled to drop on December 1. Now Feid has another release lined-up for December. On TikTok, he announced that his next album will be called Sixdo.

The LP will live up to it name with six tracks. He revealed that the songs on Sixdo will be “Malibu,” “La Pasamos Cabrón,” and “Un Chorrito Pa’ Las Animas.” Other song titles include “California,” “Hookia,” and “Le Pido a Dios.” It’s not yet known if the album will be released on December 1 or on another day during the month.

Feid also released the seaside video for “Malibu.” On the atmospheric reggaeton track, he teamed up with Chilean rapper Ak4:20 and one of the country’s top producers, Taiko. Feid embraces Baltimore club-like beats for the first time. He is currently touring the US on his sold-out US Trip Tour.

21 Savage has been living up to his name lately, particularly when it comes to his participation in live chats with fans. That’s something he’s been doing a lot of as he promotes his new album, Her Loss, reacting to memes featuring his collaborator Drake, and declaring that he’d “smoke” fellow 2016 XXL Freshman Kodak Black in a hits battle. He acquired another of these moments over the weekend during a Twitter Spaces chat about Nas and Hit-Boy’s newly released album, King’s Disease III.

As some of the participants brought up veteran rap icon Nas’ “relevance,” 21 — (who’s 30 years old and wasn’t even born yet when Nas made his debut in 1991 on Main Source’s “Live At The Barbecue”) had this to say: “I don’t feel like he’s relevant, he just has a loyal ass fanbase and he still makes good-ass music.” While the clip that has been circulating on Twitter doesn’t have much context, it’s probably fair to guess that Savage, whose own album just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, is likely referring to the elder rapper’s chart impact.

Is 21 Savage right or wrong? I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

For reference, the first King’s Disease, released in 2020, won a Grammy and debuted at No. 5 on the B200, but only one of its songs charted on the Hot 100. Its follow-up, released a year later, sold 9,000 more units and landed at No. 3. This is impressive considering these were indie releases with little promotion, but given Nas has five No. 1 albums to his name (six, including The Firm album), this is something of a decline from his heyday. Fortunately, a loyal fanbase is all one needs to have an impact these days thanks to streaming and direct sales.

Nas is also something of a media mainstay, appearing in commercials for Hennessey and Nike that make use of his legacy as a hip-hop pioneer. But it’s not like he’s going viral on TikTok — which is where “the kids” do much of their music discovery and share their interests. It’s an interesting conundrum and not one that’s likely to be resolved anytime soon. While old-school hip-hop fans probably won’t take kindly to Savage’s comments, there are undoubtedly plenty of younger fans who will agree. As for Nas himself, he’s probably doing just fine either way as he keeps proving his impact and boasts on his new album that he’ll probably have 16-year-old fans in his sixties.

Lately, women-led reboots of franchises have been very popular, even if they are not well-received. But still! There are lady ghost hunters and thieves out there too! And there have gotta be female pirates out in the world somewhere, and since representation is important, they deserve their own movie too! Specifically, one with Margot Robbie.

Robbie has been attached to a Pirates of the Caribbean film featuring a female lead for several years, though we all know how busy she is. While speaking to Vanity Fair, the Barbie actress confirmed that the Pirates revamp has been canceled.

“We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool,” Robbie explained of the reboot, which was announced in 2020. The movie was slated to be written by Birds of Prey screenwriter Christina Hodson, but Robbie confirmed that the project would not be moving forward due to Disney’s hesitation. “But I guess they don’t want to do it.”

Back in the spring, Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that two sequels were moving forward, one with Robbie attached. “Yes. We’re talking to Margot Robbie. We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without,” he confirmed, adding, “The future is yet to be decided.” It seems like it has been decided after all. Sorry, pirates.

The upcoming 2022 American Music Awards will feature the hottest artists across all genres performing, including Anitta, Ari Lennox, Carrie Underwood, Charlie Puth, David Guetta, Lil Baby, and more.

The annual award show takes place on Sunday, November 20, at 8 p.m. on ABC. Actor and comedian Wayne Brady will host, while DJ D-Nice will serve as the house DJ for the affair.

Stevie Wonder will join Charlie Puth and Ari Lennox to help honor Lionel Richie with a medley of his greatest hits. Richie is the recipient of the award show’s 2022 Icon Award.

Richie — a 17-time AMA winner — is also expected to take the stage to perform. The singer has the distinction of being “the only artist in history to be featured on the AMAs stage in every decade since the show’s inception,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Icon Award honors “an artist whose body of work has marked a global influence over the music industry.”

“I’m immensely grateful for a career that has taken me to places I never imagined that I’d go, from arenas worldwide to studio sets to the AMA stage,” Richie told THR. “I can recall one of the first times I got to perform at the AMAs. It was to sing ‘We Are the World’ among the most iconic musicians of my generation, so it is surreal to be receiving this recognition 36 years later.”

Richie was also recently inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this May.

But it doesn’t stop there. Newcomers like GloRilla will also storm the stage for her debut performance on the AMAs stage, along with Nigerian artists such as Tems and Wizkid.

DJ Khaled has always been known for baring his soul when it comes to chatting about his music, but this time he seemed to share a little more than fans were expecting to see — his butt.

Over the weekend, the DJ/producer posted a clip on his Instagram Story where he could be seen playing basketball. During the footage, we can see Khaled take flight as he rushes to the hoop to make a dunk. The only thing is, he had a bit of a plumber’s crack going.

Fans immediately took to social media to share their thoughts about seeing the “Staying Alive” artist bare it all. The Twitter timeline was instantly flooded with all kinds of memes and reactions to the moment.

“We not the best,” one person hilariously wrote.

Many folks were even questioning what led Khaled to make the post in the first place: “Why was he willing to post this?” another person tweeted.

Still, it’s important to note that while some of the jabs were funny, many were flat-out mean and reeked of fatphobia. And in a day and age where body positivity for all sizes has become increasingly more important in media and entertainment, it’s time we leave the fat jokes in the past.

When it comes to music, this past August, Khaled dropped his thirteenth studio album, God Did, with features from hip-hop legends such as Jay-Z and some of the hottest artists out right now, such as Latto, City Girls, Lil Durk, Quavo, Takeoff, 21 Savage, Nardo Wick, and more.

The Linda Lindas have plenty to be thankful for. The punk-rockers released their debut album Growing Up, performed the title track on The Late Late Show With James Corden, and were named openers for Paramore’s 2023 North American tour. But The Linda Lindas are bypassing Thanksgiving. They’re in prime Christmas mode, as evidenced by their holiday single “Groovy Xmas.”

The accompanying video is a FOMO trap. The Linda Lindas’ welcome a parade of friends into their perfectly decorated home, complete with a delicious cookie cake and a clever Linda Lindas-Peanuts crossover. There are also cameos by The Grinch and Santa Claus and a shout-out to pop’s perennial Christmas queen, Mariah Carey (“Same playlist every year / Mariah brings the cheer / And pumpkin spice lattes are here”).

“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,” The Linda Lindas said of the song. “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 the festive “Groovy Xmas” video above.
