After watching a clip of Donald Trump’s upcoming interview with Piers Morgan in which the former president may or may not have stormed off, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough completely lost his composure and broke down with laughter after one particular exchange. In the now viral clip showing a seemingly testy face-off between Trump and Morgan, the British host pushed back on Trump’s claims that he actually won the 2020 presidential election, which did not go over well. Trump got so heated that he said to Morgan, “I don’t believe you’re real,” and that’s when Scarborough can be heard laughing uncontrollably during the clip.

“This is how alternative his reality has become,” Scarborough said while barely holding it together. “He’s asked a question about reality and his response is, ‘I don’t believe you’re real.’ Who says that?!”

The Morning Joe host then resumed laughing so hard that he had to take off his glasses and wipe tears from his eyes as co-host Mika Brzezinski tried to get the segment back on track. However, once Scarborough regained his composure, he offered a pretty interesting perspective on what the Morgan interview signifies for Trump’s hopes of running for president again in 2024. Via Mediaite:

“The Murdochs are quietly — not so quietly — moving closer and closer to DeSantis. People close to them know that they’re ready to throw it all behind Ron DeSantis. They’re ready to move on from Trump,” the Morning Joe host continued. “Even if it didn’t go down the way the promo suggested it did, it reveals a much bigger tell and that is that the Murdochs are blindsiding Donald Trump. The parade is moving on.”

Ah yes, the good old ex-President Trump pushback. And since Piers Morgan is also skilled in that same dubious art, their meeting of the minds was bound to get messy if anything contentious happened.

And reportedly, it truly did get combative. As detailed by the New York Post, Donald Trump grew belligerent and huffily stormed out of an interview (after bragging about his hole-in-one) when Morgan reminded him that he lost the 2020 election. This allegation of tantrum-y behavior was later possibly refuted by Team Trump later on, but from the presented clip, it sure didn’t look good.

Of course, Piers is no stranger to storming off TV sets. He famously did so while losing it over Meghan Markle a few years ago. And although Piers and Trump are old pals, that appears to no longer be the case. The actual interview in question won’t air until April 25 (you can see it on Fox Nation in the U.S.), but reportedly, Trump addressed Piers as a “fool” at least half a dozen times. He also declared, “I don’t think you’re real” when Piers pointed out that Trump’s never presented evidence of a stolen election.

After the news of the alleged blowout surfaced, Trump’s people issued a denial while claiming that Trump’s demand to turn the camera off actually took place later in the interview. And we’ll have to wait a few days to find out what actually transpired, and who is actually lying in this instance, but for now, Piers is standing by his version of events.

In response to a Twitter user asking for a comment on Trump’s claim of being “‘unlawfully and deceptively’ edited,” Piers offered a brusque rebuttal using one of Trump’s own customary labels: “Yes – his claim is fake news.”

Time to set a reminder for April 25, but surely, the Internet will fill you in regardless.

Anyone that wants to get a taste of the drama that comes from F1 racing may want to consider picking up EA Sports F1 22 when it gets a worldwide release on July 1. The EA Sports F1 series is back with many fan favorite modes like My Team, career mode, and of course multiplayer. One of the biggest draws of this year’s version of the game though is its use of VR, where players will get to experience being a driver inside the cockpit of their vehicles.

With an adaptive AI, varying difficulty levels, and the ability to customize your experience, this has the potential to be a great entry point for new fans of the sport. Lee Mather, the senior creative director for EA Sports F1 22, spoke about how both new and longtime fans will have plenty to enjoy in the upcoming game through a press release.

“We look forward to welcoming our players to the new era of Formula 1,” Mather said. “Alongside the real-world changes, we have updated the physics to accommodate the new aero rules and re-worked the tyre model, making the handling more true to life. With new and updated circuits, Adaptive AI, F1 Life, and expanded gameplay options, there has never been a better time for players to take their seats and live the life of an F1 driver.”

Vin Diesel is maybe the most sincere actor in Hollywood (see: his oddly touching cover of Rihanna’s “Stay”), so when he calls his Fast and Furious co-stars his “family,” he means it. He’s protective of them and the franchise’s legacy, so when his on-screen sister, Jordana Brewster, was left out of the original script for Fast X, Diesel intervened.

“When the F10 script came in, it excluded Mia Toretto. Someone whom I’ve attributed the brotherhood of Dom and Brian to…” he wrote on Instagram, referring to Brian O’Conner, the character played by Paul Walker until he died in a 2013 car crash. “I was so disappointed that I couldn’t see how I could continue… After all, I wasn’t going to make another Fast unless Brian was back in Four… I don’t need to remind you of the petitions you sent the studio for Letty’s return at the the end of FIve.”

Diesel continued:

Side note, you will never believe who corrected the very important role of Mia… my daughter, the Alpha Angel, who told the director very plainly and honestly “NO MIA NO FAST 10!” haha. The irony, is that the day she was born I was filming with Jordanna and Pablo and it was Jordanna who I first told… profound right?

Diesel still thinks about Walker every day and “every Fast film” is dedicated to his legacy, he wrote. “In the real world, I will always look after his family, because in the real world he is family. When his daughter asked me to walk her down the isle… I tear up, and then do it with pride and and honor… when his mother asks me to bring Brian back to the screen… well, I don’t have to tell you how serious I take that.” (Walker’s family has said they want Brian, who is still canonically alive, to make a “tasteful” cameo in a future film.)

The top reply to Diesel’s post comes from Brewster: “I love you brother.”

Billie Eilish had an up-and-down night at the 2022 Grammys in February: She put on one of the show’s most striking performances but didn’t win a single one of the seven awards for which she was nominated. While that may have been a surprise for fans, it seems like not only did it not shock Eilish, but she actually had a feeling it would happen.

In a new Billboard interview, Eilish said:

“I had this feeling yesterday at the Grammys because we obviously didn’t win anything — I went into the day suspecting we weren’t going to win anything, and of course, the internet, no matter what happens, is going to be like, ‘You were robbed,’ and I’m just like, ‘I wasn’t, I have seven at home. It’s OK, it’s all good.’ […] I was nominated and that’s amazing, but getting up during a commercial break and people coming up to me being like, ‘You changed my life, your music gets me through the day,’ I’m like, ‘That’s it.’”

Finneas chimed in, “That’s the win.” Eilish then continued, “I’m getting choked up because yesterday, I was like, ‘Who gives a f*ck if you don’t have fans?’ That’s what I care about. I just want to keep enjoying the music that we make. And so that’s why I think I’m a little bit of a procrastinator when it comes to working, especially when we’re busy. In theory, I want to make a song and put out an album next year, but that means we have to make it, and it’s really hard to make music, for me. I don’t want to make something I don’t like, so I get freaked out, but I never want to stop creating the way that we create and making music that touches people. That’s it, you know? That’s the only longevity I give a sh*t about.”

As conservatives continue to attack The Walt Disney Company for its opposition to Florida’s recently passed “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Ted Cruz decided to take things to a whole other level by concocting a pretty specific scenario involving Mickey Mouse and his beloved dog Pluto. It’s an “incredibly disturbing image that we now all have to live with,” quipped Seth Meyers as he roasted Cruz’s weird Disney suggestion during Wednesday night’s episode of Late Night.

“I think there are people who are misguided trying to drive, you know, Disney stepping in saying, in every episode now they’re going to have Mickey and Pluto going at it,” Cruz said on a recent episode of his podcast. “Come on, guys! These are kids! You can always shift to Cinemax if you want that.”

Just so we’re clear, that was Ted Cruz imagining Mickey and Pluto having sex, which naturally concerned Meyers. Via The Daily Beast:

“The point is: Ted Cruz jumping to that conclusion makes it clear he already has some pretty pervy ideas about the Magic Kingdom,” said Meyers. “I’d hate to hear why he thinks it’s called ‘Splash Mountain.’”

However, as Meyer notes, Cruz’s Mickey and Pluto idea probably does exist. “Anytime you come up with some kinky idea involving two cartoon characters, pornography has already beaten you to it,” the late night host joked. Considering Cruz’s documented “like” of porn, maybe he’s just trying to tell us what he’s been watching lately.

Last week, Phoebe Bridgers released “Sidelines,” a song that whipped fans into such a frenzy that they crashed her website shortly after the news broke. However, the song also came with an indication that 2022 would be a relatively quiet year for Bridgers, as press materials noted, “This will be the only original new song from Bridgers this year.” Now, though, it looks like Bridgers is open to changing her mind about that.

In a recent interview, with KROQ at Coachella last weekend, Bridgers was asked if “Sidelines” will in fact be her only new song of the year and she responded, “Uh, who knows, actually. I try to do things that are exciting, so I never really know what I’m gonna do.” She jokingly added, “Dropping a mixtape tomorrow.”

She also said of how the song came about, “[Marshall Vore] had this like love song idea… he sent it to me right in the beginning of the pandemic. I was like, ‘This is insane.’ Was so obsessed with it, was playing it all the time in the house. And then when the show asked me to make something, I was like, ‘But I don’t have anything that fits.’ And Marshall was like, ‘What about that ‘Sidelines’ one?’ I was like, ‘What?!’ So we re-wrote some of it and re-recorded it and changed some stuff around, and it just kind of magically fit and was exactly what I wanted.”

Johnny Depp is expected to take the stand again this morning for the third day in a row as he testifies about his violent and volatile relationship with fellow actor Amber Heard, which began in 2012 and ended just over year after they got married in February 2015. But it’s hard to imagine that anything the three-time Oscar nominee could say today or at any further point in the defecation defamation trial, which Depp brought against his ex-wife, could be any more bizarre than the Pirates of the Caribbean star testifying about Heard allegedly pooping on his side of the bed.

The comments came on Wednesday, as Depp discussed the final days of the couple’s ill-fated marriage, which came shortly after Heard’s 30th birthday in April 2016. Shortly thereafter, when Depp knew his estranged wife was out of town, he had planned to go to their penthouse to collect some of his personal belongings, but was advised against it by one of his security guards. When Depp pushed to know the reason why, he was sent a photo of the current state of their home, which—as The Wrap reports—included a pile of supposedly human poop where he slept.

Depp struggled to find the words to describe what he saw, but ultimately settled on it being “absurd and grotesque and cruel.” When asked to describe what he saw in the picture, the actor chose his words carefully again, but confirmed that “it was human fecal matter.” Depp admitted that his initial response to the situation was to actually laugh. “It was so outside; it was so bizarre and so grotesque that I could only laugh,” he said.

Of course, Depp’s lawyer wasn’t about to let that nugget just dangle, so she pressed further, forcing the actor to come up with some colorful—and, frankly, hilarious—ways of describing the turd. Among some of the more choice phrases? That “someone dropped a grumpy” and explaining how Heard attempted to blame the “fecal delivery” on her two dogs. When asked why he didn’t think it could have been the dogs, Depp explained: “They’re teacup Yorkies. They weigh about four pounds each.”

“I lived with those dogs,” Depp added. “I’ve picked up their… fun. It was not the dogs.”

Heard’s legal team began their cross-examination of Depp just about 20 minutes before calling it a night, so the actor is expected to be back on the stand again first thing this morning—where “the human fecal matter” will undoubtedly be revisited. And help explain why #AmberTurd is trending.

Ahead of Wednesday’s episode of Jeopardy! (at least on the West Coast), host Ken Jennings tweeted, “I’m too late for the East Coast but there’s a real @Jeopardy rarity on the show tonight! Plan your evening accordingly!” What could it be? Was it the first episode of Jeopardy! with the Joker as one of the contestants? That would be tWiStEd. Or maybe every answer in the form of a question had to be spoken in Simlish? Unfortunately, neither of these scenarios came true, but it was a rarity nonetheless.

For what appears to be only the second time since 2015 (and possibly only the 10th time ever on the long-running game show), Final Jeopardy consisted of a single contestant: Mattea Roach. It was a “rare solo Final Jeopardy,” as Jennings called it. “Loni Lewis had -$600 heading into the final round, while Sean Wong was down -$1,600, preventing both of them from appearing in the third and final round of the game,” Today reports. “Roach, meanwhile, had $21,400 heading into Final Jeopardy.”

Roach correctly answered, “This website launched in 2015 with 3 offerings, from James Patterson, Dustin Hoffman and Serena Williams,” with “MasterClass,” giving her a 12-day grand total of $271,282. The 23-year-old has already qualified for the Tournament of Champions, along with fellow Jeopardy! experts Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio.

Rootin’ tootin Lauren Boebert’s apparently recovered from receiving Bible schooling for her Jesus-and-lockdowns tweet on Easter. That followed up upon the Shooter’s Grill owner’s triggered response after SNL parodied her Christmas-with-guns photo. The Rifle Republican’s bouncing back, though, and she’s back with a take on why Netflix lost subscribers for the first time in streaming history. And she’s off the mark.

The probable reasons for the decline are easy to pinpoint. The streaming service decided to hike prices again (and this is becoming a regular occurrence) in a time of inflation. This is happening while the streaming service has projected a crackdown and higher prices for those people who share passwords with family members who might not always reside under the same roof. Meanwhile, the entire 200,000-strong subscriber base of Russia has gone out the door. Still, Boebert is convinced that Netflix will fail because it’s not a far-right service and is too “woke.” And for some unknown reason, she’s bringing “physics” into the discussion.

“Netflix is projected to LOSE 2 million subscribers & CNN+ can’t even reach 200,000,” she tweeted. “The correlation between companies going woke & then broke is a new law of physics at this point.”

As one might expect, people are pouncing on Boebert for tweeting about another subject that she clearly hasn’t studied (again, no one is bashing GED earners, but Boebert hasn’t even brushed up on the U.S. constitution, and she’s a lawmaker). No one knows why she’s calling this a “law of physics,” and people are also pointing out how Netflix had a rather non-woke response to the Dave Chappelle/The Closer controversy. Also, yup, Alex Jones is going broke, and he’s the opposite of woke.

Speaking of projections, yep, that subject came up, too:

The midterms should be fun for all, to say the very least.
