TMZ Live - 11/9/26

I'm starting to speak. Welcome to TMZ Live. Russell Brand has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison for raping and sexually assaulting several women, and this did not happen before the judge gave him a real tongue lashing over using his celebrity status to do what he did. Yeah, something he pretty much copped to, and the judge did not let anyone in the courtroom forget it. Before he issued the sentence, it displayed your casual arrogant disregard of any woman's right to say no to you. In my view, the degree of upset caused to the victim is significantly above that. So this is an occasion where I'm satisfied it will be contrary to the interests of justice not to go above the prescribed sentencing range. Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no. And to demand justice from the criminal courts when sexual predators like you, Russell Brand, act without their consent. So the sentencing range is interesting, that he could have gotten life, but the normal sentencing range for these crimes would have been from 4 to 19 years. So he got, by 10 years, 6 months, right in the middle of that. Right, and while it is a long time, you could certainly look at this and say that he was... Kind of lenient with Russell Brand, considering he could have gotten almost twice as much. Well, the judge said there were mitigating factors because he said that Russell Brand had not committed any of these crimes for more than two decades. Because it had been a long time, right? It had been a long time. Also, he is going to get out after seven years because in England, it's basically two-thirds of the time. So he'll get out in seven. Then he goes to, I think, what's equivalent in America to a halfway house, and the judge said there would be severe restrictions on him then. All of that is barring any other charges that he could face where, who knows, if there's another trial and he's convicted again. The police out there announced last week that they are investigating separate incidents with Russell Brand. Yeah, rape incidents. So obviously that could be a whole other trial, right? Right. And so his wife, it's interesting, his wife has stood by him the entire time. She was there in court. He, I guess, walked in and asked her if she was doing okay. Because remember, he was brought from the jail because he was healthy. Correct. He spent the weekend in jail. But when they brought him in... And then his dad was also there. And did you see his dad got interviewed on the way out by reporters? And they were asking him if he... I think we have this out with his dad. Is he the type of man that you raised? Leave the man alone. They're nasty, aren't they? Don't answer the question. Do you have a message to the victims? The victims? What victims? Russell? Not Russell. His victims. The girls, you mean, who chased him and harassed him? Is that all you mean? He was convicted by a jury. No, his victims. I don't care. I don't care. It's a system. You don't believe the justice system? I don't believe it on the basis of what I've just watched. Thank you very much. See, we've got social media. It's easy to find the right jury. Go on Facebook and see the sort of things... You're saying the jury is corrupted. Well, I'm saying it's possible. Are you saying it's not possible? I believe in the justice system. Isn't that what we're supposed to believe in? Are you saying you couldn't go on social media and look at what people are saying and find people who are attacking Mr. Glenn? Are you saying that? Or do you understand you could? So, um, you know, he's saying it's corrupt. So, you know, there were eight men and four women on this jury and they all found him guilty of these charges. So look, um, the judge really did get into. The celebrity angle of this, that this all happened during the height of his popularity and that, you know, even Russell Brand said that he had acted, he said he acted like an idiot, he did all sorts of things, but he didn't commit rape. That was his position. But he admitted that his fame is what gave him access to all of these. And the judge made that clear that it was a total abuse of power. Our chat is curious, since he is a celebrity and he has that kind of power, Will the UK offer him time off or a reduced sentence similar to what Diddy has been going through, where his sentence is getting reduced? Oh, if it gets reduced? Yeah. I don't know how that works. I don't think they get that. No, it's two-thirds they serve. So he's going to get seven years. Diddy's a bad example because his sentence actually went up because of his conduct. Right. Not down. Hi, I'm Marlon Anson from London. And to be honest, I think he's looking to appeal because he's a coward and most abusers are cowards. He's in denial and it shows that he's got no remorse whatsoever. And it's not fair on the victims finally facing justice. And my opinion, I think he deserves life imprisonment because all of the victims are going to have to face psychological impact for the rest of their entire lives. Yeah, he is appealing this, but. As we said, there could be more on the horizon for him with sort of the floodgates open now. And by the way, during the sentencing, the judge also applauded the victims for being brave enough to come forward. And it's sort of like saying, hey, if there are other victims out there, know that we're going to hear you. And they were protected because they were behind a shield. Thank And under English law, their identities will never be revealed. It is no exaggeration to say that this affair that we're about to talk about might be the most consequential affair in U.S., in recent U.S. history. Possibly world. you. Possibly the world, yes. That's how big a deal it is that the CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, has admitted. That he had an affair. That's one thing you go like, all right, so business exec has an affair. Well, how about the fact that according to the U.S. government, he had an affair with a Chinese spy. And there is a whole thing with NVIDIA right now withholding chips from AI chips from the Chinese because of bad things that China might do. Yeah, so this one not only obviously affects Jensen and his family, and he wrote a memo that went out to employees admitting this affair. He admitted it, though, we should say, after the reports by the New York Times and the Financial Times investigation. Wall Street Journal saying that, where he had said this was purely professional, apparently not, and he's come out. He actually did a public apology to his wife and his kids. Right. Right. But. Now there is an investigation. But the spy part of it, which you didn't mention in the email to employees. I mean, this is just crazy. So she... We say her name is Alice Wong. No relation to Jensen. Which would make it really crazy. It would really be crazy. But she works for a company. That is one of the largest customers of NVIDIA. Right. Which is his... Cover, right? He said, like, oh, it was just regular business relations. They had lots of social engagements. He would go to dinners with her. She was buying, I think, $4 billion worth of NVIDIA chips. They are the most advanced chips. And when it was revealed that she is a Chinese spy and he had an affair with her, the world sort of blew up. Now, the market's rallying today, but NVIDIA is down on this news for obvious reasons. But what's interesting is he's become a big pop cultural figure, kind of like a Sam Altman. He wears the black leather jacket. He has a famous relationship with his wife. When the president has the summits with the tech people, he's always right by my side. He's very close to Trump. Very close. Very loyal to Trump. So NVIDIA is doing an investigation, an external one. And right now, he is still the CEO. Thank What I found really fascinating today, I was looking at some reports. That Kalshi and Polymarket are betting on this right now. Oh, absolutely. The prediction markets go insane. And now he's the founder of NVIDIA, too. He founded this company in 93 with his wife supporting him. It's a very famous story in tech. And for it to blow up in this fashion is shocking. you. We don't know if it's blown up. Well, we don't know. We don't know if it's blown up. It may weather the storm. And by the way, this is why everyone, whether you have. But, you know, you're probably not buying NVIDIA chips, but you may buy things that have them. This is a huge consequence to the U.S. economy. Absolutely. Because a lot of economists have said that NVIDIA is sort of... Propping up the economy with this AI bubble. It was the most valuable company as of a few days ago. It was over $5 trillion. Now Apple has surpassed it. But it is massively propping up the economy. And the race with China is of huge consequence in the AI race. That's what we were talking about, extinction. We have to get there first and so forth. Donald Trump said something last night where he said, look, I like the guy. He's a good guy. And he also, I got it on my desk, and I'm sorry I didn't bring it. But it's something to the effect of, well, everybody does this. I heard it as well. Yes, it was quite a really stunning. Yes. Our chat is really curious. Is this something that he could lose his job over? Like, is he still going to be the CEO? They're investigating. Yeah, that's right. The board is supposed to be independent of the CEO. Even though he's a founder, he can get removed by the board. That's how he's just a top executive. He wouldn't be the first tech Who the heck, CEO- Founder of New York- who did. Nope. Hi, my name is Arlene and I'm from Boston. I wanted to share my opinions on this. I think his personal life is his own business. But when you're the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, I think that you have a fiduciary obligation to your shareholders. And so when you have personal relationships that might raise conflict of interest concerns or even intelligence concerns, I think the shareholders have every right to ask further questions. Well, again, I'm assuming that She wasn't telling him, by the way, I'm a Chinese spy. No, she didn't. But to your point, yes, you have a trillion, multi-trillion dollar company that you're running. Suddenly your personal life isn't just your personal life. Coming up. Dave Chappelle, stirring up some controversy, he ruffles feathers with his latest stand-up and talked about Charlie Kirk. But it's the way he said it and what he said that has a lot of people pissed off. Be right back. All right. Well, we've said this, I don't know how many times over the years, but Dave Chappelle, stirring up some controversy, he ruffles feathers with his latest stand-up. He was performing at Madison Square Garden this weekend and talked about Charlie Kirk. But it's the way he said it and what he said that has a lot of people pissed off. And honestly, even listen to the crowd's reaction to this statement. I can't even say that it's a joke, but you can decide. This is what Dave said. I feel f***ed up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better. I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling. I'm sure Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now. Radical so hard he can't breathe. Yeah, there was not resounding applause or even laughter at what Dave said. And honestly, the crowd seemed uncomfortable. No, for sure. And the last comment seemed to be a reference to what Tony Hedgcliffe said. Hedgcliffe said during the Kevin Hart roast. So, look, every time that Dave Chappelle and any other comedian says something... Really out there, outrageous, offensive, the conversation starts about Is it okay for comedians to do this? Joining us to discuss this particular remark, joke, whatever you want to call it, is comedian Michael Loftus. Michael, welcome back to TMZ Live. Hey, thanks for having me. This is a crazy story, huh? Like, Dave Chappelle's a super funny guy, but when TMZ wants to do a story about your joke, you know you've got some issues. Once you have to start explaining your comedy on television, it's not a good look. And Chappelle, if anything, listen, he's a funny guy. You can't say that he's not. And he'll go to sleep tonight on a giant pile of money. But, like, the joke is just boring. It just wasn't funny. I'm like, where's the joke part? Like, at what point are we supposed to laugh? But, you know, the way it struck me is. There's a carve-out, in a way, because we're living in a really dangerous time, and, you know, people... I think that was the point of Dave's, that the full context of that bit was... Oh, I don't think there was a lot left to the imagination. You kind of got what he was saying, but what I'm saying is... Even whether it's funny or not funny, the concept is, it's okay what happened. And I think in this climate, that's a really dangerous and even bad thing to say. Oh, it really is. However... This is, this is, you see comics do this, and I really thought that Chappelle was better than this. When you're going after Charlie Kirk, you're going after Christians. You're going after the group of people who are not going to hit back. These are the people who are going to turn the other cheek. So if you're looking to like ruffle some feathers and talk about freedom of speech and dangerous speech, oh, super brave, Dave. Go after the group of people that are not going to fight back. It's so boring. So another way to look at this, Michael, is that especially because of what I think if there was a punchline, what Dave would say, the punchline was that Charlie's looking up at us and can barely breathe. Another way to look at this is that is this Dave sort of speaking up for, let's call it the left, after Tony Hinchcliffe made the joke. About George Floyd, because that's exactly, I mean, he took the same line and just applied it to Charlie Kirk instead of George Floyd. Yeah. Again, even if that's what it was, even if this is, we're all part of Dave Chappelle's little comedy thought experiment, it doesn't work as a joke. At least with, with Tony Hinchcliffe, with him saying that you're like, Ooh, there's an element of real shock. People might get very upset. There might be actual physical damages here. Something might get set on fire. But with Dave Chappelle going after, you know, Charlie Kirk and the Christian right. Oh, They'll, they'll just be, they'll just like tsk, tsk and say a prayer for you at church on Sunday. It's really, it's just apples and oranges. You can't, you can't say the Tony joke is okay, but the, but the Dave joke isn't or Dave, whatever the, that line, if it's, if it's not okay for Dave, it's not okay for Tony either, right? Oh, it's okay for both of them. Let them say it. Although I'm saying like watching Dave Chappelle use his incredible talents on a paper tiger is just a yawn fest. He's funnier than that. But you know what? He was part of that whole group that went to Saudi Arabia and did that comedy festival. And you could argue that the Saudis still have slavery. So listen, anything is possible. This is America. We got the first amendment, but yeah. One's definitely funnier than the other, that's for sure. You know, it's funny. I see this very differently. That, to me, it's not about how funny the joke is and that either makes it acceptable or doesn't. Again, it is, you know, the George Floyd joke I thought was just terrible. And I thought this joke was just terrible, not because it was funny or not, but, you know, when you say, I feel better, Thank I disagree with you that people will turn the other cheek. I think we are... Charlie Kirk didn't turn the other cheek. No, we are on the precipice of a civil war in many ways. you, And I don't think that, A, it turns the other cheek, and, B, I think it just contributes to violence. Paul. And there should be a limit, not whether it's funny or not, but there should be a limit in terms of what it incites. That's right. Oh, I don't think you can limit free speech. I mean, you love the First Amendment. You got to love what Chappelle said. And you got to love what Tony said. You got to take the good with the bad. I'm just saying it's like the violence doesn't seem to be coming from the conservative church going Bible reading Sunday school people. So. So if you're going to tell a joke about someone who's going to get offended, you know, at least have some oomph behind it. Have some have some there there. You're right. You're underestimating the right. Yeah, I think I think there's some people in the South who would tell you that there is some violence coming from the right. Yeah, but. Yeah, I you'll have to remind me when that happened. I'm just saying as a guy, I used to write on a bunch of television shows and people they whenever they talk about like organized religion, they love to go after Christians and Catholics. And then those are the people who are very rarely hit back. I eagerly await Dave Chappelle's. Taking on of the Muslim world. Yeah, I'm sure he's got a one hour about that community. Well, somehow that that's already been told by politicians, certain politicians. Listen, we really appreciate you coming on. Thank you so much. Have a good one, guys. Coming up. So how is it that Oasis made it through their tour and Chris Brown... Don't do that. Don't do that. Well... Don't hex Chris Brown and Usher. It's been a very successful tour, but it is also clear they are now in a very rocky place. Be right back. TMZ's got every freaking thing! Big celebs, big stories, big events! Donald Rawlings took TMZ DC on a city tour. You know what the irony of this is? A black man takes a white person to the White House. Close. It's TMZ! How is it that Oasis made it through their tour and Chris Brown... You don't do that. Don't do that. Don't hex Chris Brown and Usher. It ain't going well. Well, they're getting an audience, but... They have an audience. They've been selling out. It's been a very successful tour, but it is also clear they are now in a very rocky place. We told you what happened last week during their first show in Atlanta. Well, it got even messier over the weekend because Chris Brown and Usher clearly didn't see eye to eye on that first night, and it was obvious to the audience. But on the second night, Chris Brown decided he would have a special guest. One who has a history with Usher. That woman we've seen before. We actually had her on the show. We did. Talking about what happened earlier in the tour when she got called out of the crowd to come up on stage. With Usher. With Usher. And Usher kicked her off because her body language was like, I'm not into it. She said she wasn't into it. She wanted Chris Brown. She said she wanted Chris Brown. So she finally got Chris Brown. And people are calling Chris Brown king of petty for it because, as you guys pointed out, Chris and Usher have been beefing. We know for a fact that they had a verbal altercation behind stage on night one. You said this happened night two. This was actually night three. Oh, okay. So on night two, Usher and Chris did come out on stage together, albeit they did not speak to each other. They just sang their song and went their separate ways. So people still noticed that there was tension. And then night three... And then night three. Chris does the ultimate checkmate, and he brings the girl. This is going to blow up, right? 1,000%. No, no. This is going to blow up. It already has. It's all over social media. I get it, but my point is the tour is very successful. They're both about making the money. But there's only so much disrespect Usher is going to take, and I feel like Usher is going to take this as a disrespectful. This is a raw nerve. Yeah. And if somebody does something on stage. The other person is going to react, and this is going to be messy. And this might be Chris reacting to Usher coming out and saying, welcome to my show. And now you've got Chris Brown bringing out Gabrielle, Gabrielle, Cheyenne, whatever her name is. Where does the tour go next? Actually, L.A., and I'm very nervous because I have a ticket, and I'm trying to sell it, and now it's never going to sell. Oh, this is their second time, Beth. Their second time. It's never going to sell. The opposite. Everybody wants to see it. No one's going to buy it because they don't want to see Chris and Usher. Yes, they do. Oh, yes, they do. Yeah, 100%. You want to buy it? You want to buy it? No, I can't stand it. I mean, if it's a matinee show, yes, you go. But it's probably more valuable. Yes. You're actually, you're not selling right. You're not selling this right. Somebody buy my ticket, please. No, no, no. You're not going to sell it here. We're not going to sell it here. We're not going to sell it here. Can I also just point out how petty Chris Brown is? And even though I love him. People also notice that he wore a Deion Sanders jersey at this show. Do you know who's dating Deion Sanders right now? Karrueche. Karrueche Tran. And he sang it on the song New Flame, took the jersey off, the Deion Sanders jersey, and threw it into the crowd. God. King Petty. Wow. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Hello, this is Ciara Chantal from Atlanta. I want to say Chris Brown was definitely being petty. I was there night one. It definitely went down in the backstage. They said it came to fifth. So I think he probably wanted to be a little bit petty. And how he made it right for her, he needs to make it right for me and invite me back out because night one was not it. It was horrible. The tension was thick, and I know, I said, whoever came out on stage to perform first won the fight, and we see Chris Brown was the one to come on out to do the first song. Well, if you want to see him in L.A., I think I know someone who might have a ticket for you. No, we're not ticket brokers. Just saying. Oh, yeah, you are. She wants to be called on stage. We are not doing that here. No, no, no, no. I'm still going to the show. Okay, go, but don't sell. Coming up. A fairly consequential meeting, I think, today at the White House between the president and Dana White. He said that he was going to make Dana White his new press secretary. If it was a joke, the timing of this is odd. Wait, is he serious about this? I don't think this was a joke initially. Be right back. Welcome back to TMZ Live. A fairly consequential meeting, I think, today at the White House between the president and Dana White, president of UFC. Um, and it's, they're friends, obviously, they get together every now and then, but this one is coming on the heels of the president making what he now says was just a joke. But a pretty elaborate one, considering I'm not sure that he said it as a joke, but he said that he was going to make Dana White his new press secretary. So we know Dana was in London Saturday and Dana, for whatever reason, made a decision to fly from London to D.C. on Sunday morning early and is meeting with Trump in the Oval Office today. Hey, so if it was a joke. Um, the timing of this is odd. Why, why the meeting? Well, we'll see what they're going to discuss, but based on, again, he is saying it was a joke, but to post something like this really feeds into, it doesn't creating, it made people think, wait, is he serious about this? The reason I don't think it was a joke initially is, you know, they, did you see the little cartoon they put up? Well, that's what we're going to play a little bit. And I'll tell you why I think that to me makes it sound like. I don't think this was a joke initially. Trump made me press secretary. I brought help. Is Trump a threat to democracy? Kachip. Let's talk now. I don't feel safe. Makhachev. Three years. Dagestan. Any more questions? Is Michelle Obama running in 2028? Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America? How is the briefing? Fiery, but mostly peaceful. Beautiful. So, you know, if they wanted to just make it a joke, they would have come out with, it's weird to me, Trump didn't, Trump is not subtle. And when he said it, it didn't... It's almost like Dan is coming because the president wants to sell him on... This could work. No, that's what I think. And Dana is so loyal to him because Dana credits Donald Trump with the success of the UFC that when nobody would host events, Trump did in Atlantic City in the early 2000s. Yeah, I think that's true. They could have gone out of business if not for Trump stepping up. So he's really loyal to him. No, I agree. Look, Trump asked Dana to speak at the RNC before the 24 election. Dana dropped his vacation, took a helicopter from a yacht. Go to great lengths to make the president happy. I don't think this was ever real, though. I don't. It's a it's a it's a bridge too far. Even when when when we briefly talked about I said this, this is not. Why is he at the White House today? Because they're buddies. But I don't. Why are you? They want to get people talking. Why are you flying from London to D.C.? I love people. I love Dana White. I will make that clear to anybody. This is not a job for Dana White. He's not a policy. I'm not saying it's a job. He's a fiery guy. It would be a disaster. And it would. All right. And it would be. It's too far for Trump to ask Dana White to step away from his actual job. Really? To do this. You think it's too far for Donald Trump? Absolutely. It's a publicly traded, multi-billion dollar company. If anything he understands. Can't do that. And Donald Trump would not go that far. I honestly don't think he would. Do you think that what actually happened was, you know, there's another Dana White. No, it's not, because she actually came out and said, not me, that it was never, it was never recommended. Okay. I want to talk about one other thing. So there's going to be a vote on Wednesday on whether to impeach Pete Hegseth from secretary of war. And, um, Thomas Massey, who was the outgoing Congressman, who was a Republican sponsoring this, although one that Trump does not like at all, detests, right. And it's vice versa. Mm-hmm. And so, um... So I think this is just a huge mistake because if the Democrats really want to do this, wait 55 days because if you wait until the new Congress gets sworn in, the Democrats will have the majority. It's going to be easier for them to get the votes they need to convict Hegseth in the Senate. And if they do it now. They'll do it again, though. No, but here's the thing. If they do it now and it works, which they're not going to get the votes in the Senate. No, no, no. But if it worked, then Trump would jam in a Hegseth 2.0 with a Republican majority in the Senate. Yeah. He won't have that after January 3rd. The only thing that's weird, though, is I wouldn't think that Massey would be introducing this unless he had already spoken to enough people. Both sides. They need 20 votes. in the Senate. Yeah, there's no way. Because Democrats only have 45 votes. So is Massey doing it just for- 22. Just for appearance? It's still embarrassing to make this. To make it embarrassing. Yeah, you're still impeached. And even if it works, again, then Trump jams in somebody and- But Massey knows the math. He knows it's not going to work, because it's not going to work in the Senate. But why fail when you can do a January- Well, he won't have a chance. He's gone, though. I think that's it. It's just got to be just to embarrass He wants to do it himself. I don't know. I mean, I just think this is not good political science. Yeah, I get what you're saying. Olena, Long Island, New York. And I agree with the same. I think that here we are a couple almost a week post-election. And what we're seeing is the Trump administration and the lost Republican seats were lost primarily on the war in Iran. And I think that someone has to take the fall for it. And because both sides have been questioning the competency of Pete Hegseth, I think that's why they're looking to move forward now immediately, because it's almost like someone has to pay for the lost seats. But no one's going to pay. I know what you're saying. I think, yes, they want to maybe lay it all at Hegseth's feet, but he's not going to pay the price because he won't be convicted in the Senate. Well, at least before January 3rd. Right. After January 3rd, they could have 56 votes in the Senate, the Democrats, and they'd only need 11 Republicans. And there are a lot of Republicans who do not like Pete Hegseth. Well, this is a rarity, a marketing misstep, a huge marketing misstep by the Kardashians. It's the one thing that they're really good at, is they market themselves and their wares very well. But the folks at Skims came up with this idea for an advent calendar, which a lot of companies do around this time of year. The cost for this calendar was $150, and a lot of people ordered it, they got it, and then... In an effort to sort of promote, I think they thought they were doing Skims a favor. Like, they opened it up early to show people what you'd get. And it was appalling. It was. For $150, the things that you got were like, a lot of people have described it as sort of like just knickknacks and even things like hair clips that maybe Kim found in her couch or something. It's just bizarre for that price. Like it'd be one thing if it was, you know, 20 bucks, then it's sort of a gag. Yeah, but $150 is not a gag. This feels and now very vinyl to me. In fact, there's not even while people are roasting Kim and Skims in general online. The company has taken this very seriously. And they have now issued refunds to anyone who wants them. The catch is you need to have all, like, six hair ties in order to get the full refund, or you can get store credit. Why would anybody keep some of it? I don't get it. You could easily lose it. There's, like, three bobby pins. They're pretty tiny. That's crazy. Three bobby pins? Three different colored bobby pins in three different days. So they didn't just put bobby pins in one. Did Skims explain why they thought this was a good idea? To be fair, when you go to purchase it, it does say it's accessories, and then in the description, you can click- I get it, but it's $150. Right. Have they explained, because it's obviously insane. Not worth that much. Right. Yeah, I mean, I think also, when I was watching this girl's video, who went absolutely viral for her reactions to each product, I thought she would eventually pull out a tank top, or some underwear, or socks, at least. Everyone in our chat is saying, if it's an underwear brand, and like- Pajamas and loungewear for $150, you could at least get a thong. Like, come on. Give the Bush thong in there. Throw the Skims market in there. I know those in there. That would have been awesome. It's ridiculous. They've got to have a bunch of those on a shelf somewhere. Exactly. It's just like stuff from the back stock that it almost feels like it wasn't intentional. I am guessing Kim. Didn't know this because she's just better than this. You'd hope not But I think but if she didn't know it then you got to wonder who would make such a decision without her sign-off Well, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure they make a lot of decisions, but I think I just am guessing She's really pissed off at this. Yeah, because this is a terrible thing not not not great coming up Diana Rossini is getting back on the field. She is returning. Wayne, what is that? She's playing at what she does play, which is being a sports journalist. To remind you, there was a kind of scandalous thing with her and Mike Rabel. They were getting kind of chummy. There was a lot of fallout from it. Be right back. Diana Rossini is getting back on the field. She is returning. I mean, what is that? She's playing at what she does play, which is being a sports journalist. Uh, and... And a few months after she had to resign from the Atlantic, she is now... Going to be back doing her own show. To remind you, there was a kind of scandalous thing with her and Mike Rabel. Yeah, Mike Rabel, the Patriots coach. They were getting kind of chummy. There was a lot of fallout from it. Like I said, she lost her job. He is still the head coach of the Patriots, but had a very embarrassing offseason where he had to apologize to the team, I had to apologize. To his family, obviously, and now he's moving forward. She is going to be back doing sports journalism. And I guess the question is... Will she be welcomed back? Right. Will she be able to get interviews for this show that she's doing, which is, interestingly, not a... It is... The show she's doing is owned by a betting site, right? It's owned by BetUSTV, which is super interesting because a lot of people, like you guys said, is the NFL going to welcome her back? Are the fans going to welcome her back? Seemingly, they are. Apparently, her first guest is going to be legendary New York Jets head coach Bill Parcells. So that is a sign. But also, you just brought up, this isn't an NFL production. This is going to be an off-site, an off-set, an off-country betting site that's setting this whole production up. And the questions are going to be... Smart of the betting site. Yeah, I agree. Especially because it's not going to hold her reliable to be in coordination with the league itself anymore. There will be plenty of interest. And I think having Bill Parcells as your first guest definitely helps. The question is, beyond the affair, it's... What was also called into question once everyone started talking about what was going on with Vrabel is how was she getting her information and was there some things that were unethical? Those questions are going to come up because she's still going to have to talk to those same people. Wasn't the intimation Vrabel was giving her information, at least people were suggesting that. Yeah, they were saying Vrabel was giving her information possibly. She was maybe spreading information to help the Patriots and to get them to acquire players. weren't happy where they were, according to press releases. Yeah, she did make it clear that this new show is going to be a lot more opinion than she's used to putting out. So maybe she doesn't have all those connections. She's trying to fill the time with something else. She did promise to bring back a little bit of her scoop insider information that she used to get, but said, look forward to me telling my stories my way that I haven't been able to do in the past. It's going to be interesting, too, because people who feel the NFL has too much of a stranglehold on players and teams. They might go to her. I mean, this is not a crazy idea. The way to look at it is that you're going to get an unvarnished look at... What's going on in the league. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I have no doubt that the viewership will be there. But like you guys said, it's going to be a matter of do those viewers believe in what she's going to say? And will she get the reputation back as the viewers come? Yeah. Okay. Every weekend, we put polls up on the website to find out how you feel about stuff. And we did this weekend. And here are the results. Here we go. Trump's D.C. arch. Is it a great monument? Build it. Or offensive to veterans? Scrap it. Where are they going to go? They're going to go offensive, right? Of course. Yeah. Okay. Knicks player calls Taylor Swift a performative fan. Actually, two players. Yeah. They nailed it, or nope, she's true blue. I think it's going to be split. They nailed it. They're going to, haters always louder. Even Taylor Swift. Exactly. Martha Stewart's second costume apology, finally sincere, or more PR nonsense. It's totally more PR nonsense. Come on. And it is. It should be higher than that. All right. Who you got in the R&B beef? Usher or Chris Brown? That's interesting. Wow. I think this has got to be close to 50-50, right? I think it's going to be Chris Brown. I think they're going to... Wow. What? Wow. What? Wow. Okay, last one. Hide to wander. Last one. Paris Jackson versus the MJ Estate. Estate lawyers have other bills to pay or pay the kids now. That. Pay the kids now. Come on. That. Yes. Okay. Coming up! If you're Blake Lively, you are somewhere watching this going, you're saying there's a chance. No, no. Maybe, maybe she and Taylor can squash their beef somewhere down the road because this weekend we saw very publicly at the Chiefs game that it was Taylor sitting with someone that she had previously been beefing with. That is Karlie Kloss. Be right back. If you're Blake Lively, you are somewhere watching this going, You're saying there's a chance that maybe, maybe she and Taylor can squash their beef somewhere down the road, because this weekend we saw very publicly at the Chiefs game that there was Taylor sitting with someone that she had previously been beefing with, and that is Karlie Kloss. They both enjoyed the Chiefs game against the Jets. Chiefs won, not shockingly, playing the Jets. But the bigger thing was, yes, that she and Carly had seemed to have patched up whatever had split them up, which seemed like it was politics. It seems like it was politics, and there's a difference because... Karlie didn't do anything to Taylor. Well, that we know publicly. Right. That we know publicly. Well, if it were about a difference in politics. Right, because Karlie is married to a Kushner. That's what the rumor is, yeah, that Karlie is married to Josh Kushner. Taylor Swift was very openly Democratic at that time. We don't know what she is now. And so everyone said that that maybe was the reason that there was a wedge in between them. But it was like kind of a nasty breakup of friends. Because Taylor, like, reportedly wrote some songs about her, sounded like she was very upset with her. But the fact that they were together at this game, it's like they never skipped a beat, really shows you they've kind of come a long way. And Carly was at Taylor's wedding with Travis. So they are pretty good. Oh, well, if she was at the wedding. If she was at the wedding. Although she was one of 1,000. Yeah, exactly. Of 1,100. Here she's one of two. Still meaningful. Still meaningful. Hi guys, my name's Sydney. I'm from New York. At the end of the day, we never really know exactly what happened. Like y'all just said, I'm glad they're back friends because at some point we've all lost a very close friend and we were just, you know, it feels good to finally have that relationship back. There's a lot of back and forth with friendships in that world. It seems like a lot. I wonder why. I wonder why. Hmm. What else you guys want to talk about? I'm Shamika. I'm from Queens, New York. And when we talk about Charlie Kirk, comedians, excuse me, talk about Charlie Kirk, it's all in good fun. These are the same people who at one point in time was okay with David, excuse me, with Kevin Hart having comedians on his show talking negatively about George Floyd. Also, this high ground that they're putting Charlie Kirk on is amazing to me because Charlie Kirk literally spent his entire life and career. Speaking negatively about black people. We don't have to put him on a pedestal. We don't have to show him respect. Not only that, comedians always cross boundaries. It's nothing different in this case. I don't know why. I hear what you're saying about you don't need to put him on a pedestal. But where it starts to feel like maybe there's a line crossed. He was assassinated. Because he was assassinated. So now you're talking about political violence, which is different than not putting someone on a pedestal. Okay, one more. Dane Drebbin from Gig Harbor, Washington. Well, it's good to see Chris Brown trying to get in a fight with somebody other than a woman for once. So I would definitely be on the other side of that. Anytime it's Chris Brown, I'm not a fan. Ever since he put hands on Rihanna, I'm not a fan of his. It is. Coming up. I know they say anything can happen in Dubai. It's just sort of like you dream it up and they can make it happen. I guess French Montana had a wish of how he was going to celebrate his 42nd birthday. Big Mac and an orangutan. Be right back. I know they say anything can happen in Dubai. It's just sort of like you dream it up and they can make it happen. I guess French Montana had a wish of how he was going to celebrate his 42nd birthday. Big Mac and an orangutan. I don't know how those two things ended up together, Um... but they did and French was just chilling with the orangutan. I know, I would call it bizarre, except... Is it healthy for the orangutan to be eating McDonald's? Or is it healthy for a French to share French fries with the orangutan? Right, do you want to share food with it? Oh, look, a giraffe is there, too. You may not really get the chance to. Wait a minute, what kind of McDonald's is this? Is there like a zoo McDonald's? It's a Dubai McDonald's. A Dubai McDonald's. Where anything goes. Dubai, everybody. Oh, boy.
