Donald Trump Calls Bill Maher a ‘Complete and Total Loser’ in 1,300-Word Rant

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The relationship between Donald Trump and Bill Maher has always been a complicated one.

And it took a turn for the bizarre on Sunday night when Trump fired off a post of more than 1,300 words aimed squarely at the Real Time host.

The exact word count varies by report, but most outlets agree that it was one of Trump’s longest tirades ever.

Either way, it’s a record. TMZ reports that it’s the longest social media post Trump has ever written.

The president didn’t bother easing into it. “Let’s talk about this complete and total loser, Bill Maher,” the post began.

From there, Trump went after Maher’s show and the network that airs it. “He’s got a low rated show on equally low rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a network of quality and excitement,” he wrote.

The timing is what makes this one so jarring. The rant landed just days after Trump invited the comic to a White House dinner.

And Maher actually praised Trump on Friday’s Real Time and invited former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt as his first guess.

Still, Trump lashed out at Maher, calling him a “major pothead” and alleging that he was drunk at their dinner.

“He looked like hell this time,” Trump said. “Bill was drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked through the White House.”

Trump also claimed that Maher lied about the length of their latest meeting (he says it lasted two hours, not four) and that he repeatedly “begged” him to go on his show.

It’s hardly the first time Trump’s online commentary has made news this year. And this story probably won’t get as much traction as his alien revelation or his outlandish comments involving Iran.

But this rant is noteworthy because it’s so unexpected.

In recent months, the formerly liberal Maher has been accused of carrying water for Trump and defending some of his administration’s most controversial policies.

Now, he’s learning a lesson that many past Trump sycophants have already learned the hard way:

If your loyalty to Trump wavers for even a moment, he’ll blast you with the same harsh words he hurls at his worst critics.

We have tragic news to report from the world of animation.

Eric Bauza, the Emmy-winning voice actor behind Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, has died.

He was just 46 years old.

His family shared a statement on Instagram announcing his sudden death.

The Canadian-born actor died at home in Los Angeles.

As for Eric Bauza’s cause of death, the outlet reports that Los Angeles County medical examiners have listed it as hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

The Daily Mail similarly reports that Bauza passed away “suddenly” after battling heart disease.

The news has left fans of classic cartoons reeling, as Bauza had become one of the most recognizable voices in animation in recent years.

Bauza took on multiple roles across the Looney Tunes films and shows, according to the trade, including the upcoming Coyote vs. Acme.

His work extended well beyond the Warner Bros. stable of characters.

Bauza also lent his voice to Forgotten Island, Muppet Babies, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, among many other projects.

His efforts in the booth earned him an Emmy, cementing his place among the most celebrated voice actors in the business.

For a generation of kids, his was the voice that delivered Bugs’ wisecracks and Daffy’s sputtering meltdowns.

Bauza’s family has not shared further details beyond the statement posted to his Instagram, which described his passing as sudden.

He leaves behind a body of work that includes some of the most beloved characters in the history of animation, along with Looney Tunes projects still making their way to audiences, such as Coyote vs. Acme.

Our condolences go out to Eric Bauza’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel: Actually Dating!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Tom Brady may have found his next match, and apparently, he’s been keeping this one under wraps for a while.

The NFL legend is reportedly dating supermodel Candice Swanepoel, according to sources who spoke with People.

And while neither party has confirmed the relationship, insiders suggest this romance has been going on longer than fans might realize.

“They’ve been dating for a while now,” one source told the outlet.

As for why the two have supposedly been able to spend so much time together, geography apparently helps.

“They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient,” the insider explained. “They’re spending a lot of time together.”

Of course, convenient locations and busy schedules are one thing. Keeping a high-profile relationship out of the public eye is quite another.

A second source told People that Swanepoel has been particularly careful about who knows about the romance. According to that insider, the pair have even gone to considerable lengths to avoid being spotted together.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly addressed the reports, and representatives for both reportedly did not respond to requests for comment.

Still, the news marks another potential chapter in Brady’s post-divorce dating life.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion was married to Gisele Bundchen from 2009 until their divorce in 2022. The former couple share two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, with his former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Since his split from Bundchen, Brady has been linked to several famous women, including Irina Shayk, Kim Kardashian and Alix Earle. His romantic life has remained a source of public fascination, even as he has largely avoided discussing it in detail.

Earlier this year, Brady offered a glimpse into his priorities when he spoke with People about his personal life.

“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” he said.

Apparently, even a packed schedule can leave room for romance.

Swanepoel, meanwhile, previously spent 14 years with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. The pair became engaged in 2015 before splitting in 2018. They share two sons, Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 7.

The South African model has generally kept her romantic life private since that breakup, making the latest reports particularly noteworthy.

For now, Brady and Swanepoel are keeping quiet, leaving the public to piece together the details from anonymous sources.

But if the reports are accurate, this isn’t some brand-new celebrity flirtation. The two have reportedly been seeing each other for months.

And given Brady’s history of attracting attention wherever his personal life is concerned, their alleged romance probably won’t stay a secret for long.

Donald Trump Praises Nicki Minaj’s ‘Beautiful A–‘ at Rally

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has made headlines for rambling about the physiques of older conservative men.

The uncomfortable subjects have ranged from candidates whom he endorses to random supporters from the crowd.

Now, he is openly discussing the buttocks of a different kind of hardline supporter.

Nicki Minaj has “one hell of a beautiful ass,” he announced.

‘That’s hard to miss’

Perhaps it’s past time for him to add gaudy gold plating and a ballroom to a nice retirement home.

On Sunday, October 25, Donald Trump addressed his adoring fans in Port Huron, Michigan.

He began his posterior appreciation tour, as he has at so many of these bizarre midterm rallies, by discussing his past comments about Senator John Husted of Ohio.

“I’ve never done that with a man before,” Trump claimed of his seemingly lecherous comments. “Off the record, women? Yes. Men? No.”

To be clear, Trump has publicly made many remarks about women’s bodies over the past decades, including his own daughters and the bodies of minor girls. His apparent obsession with rattling on about the bodies of old conservative men in public does seem to be more recent.

Trump’s apparent dementia ramblings them pivoted to a celebrity guest start.

“By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before,” he announced to the crowd. “Nicki Minaj.”

Trump gushed: “That’s hard to miss. Stand up. That’s hard to miss.”

The disgraced rapper complied, standing so that all of Trump’s devoted followers could observe her booty.

“I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki,” Trump said. “She’s been with us for a long time.”

‘This woman overshadows me, and I’m angry about it’

“She never looked more beautiful,” Trump continued to ramble.

Minaj meets Trump’s most important qualifications as a human being: she is famous, and she vocally supports him.

“She is a very special person,” Trump claimed. “She gets it, smart.”

Seemingly unable to stop himself, he went on: “You know, I don’t like being overshadowed, and this woman overshadows me, and I’m angry about it. They’re going crazy over her.”

That part is uncharacteristically honest, but it isn’t really accurate. Minaj’s historic fanbase has little overlap with Trump supporters, and if the dwindling MAGA crowd is picking up her music, there is no real evidence of it.

Nicki Minaj to Trump: If you run again, I will support you again

Not to be outdone, Minaj gushed and raved over Trump’s mere existence.

After stating some alarming things — the usual transphobic BS, for example — she vowed to follow Trump even as he goes against the Constitutional limits of his office.

“It is an honor to stand with you every single time, and I will continue to support you forever and ever,” she vowed.

Minaj threatened: “If you run again, I will support you again.”

With SCOTUS rubber stamping most of Trump’s brazen corruption, there’s no legal guarantee that he will not try for an illegal third term. On the plus side, the Supreme Court can do nothing to protect him from time or medical realities, so hopefully that day will never come.

Katy Perry Pregnant with Justin Trudeau’s Baby: The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In recent months, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship has grown increasingly serious.

What began as a joke-prompting dinner date and a random entanglement has clearly blossomed into something more.

Now, a report has come out claiming that the singer is pregnant.

Is this true? Here’s everything that we know.

Is Katy Perry secretly Katy Pregnante?

In February, a bold announcement took social media by storm.

The tweet showed a photo of Perry and Trudeau, one that appeared to show the two decked out in winter gear to enjoy this gorgeous weather.

It was the caption, however, that drew people’s attention.

“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are expecting their first child together,” the tweet reads.

As you can imagine, this elicited quite a reaction.

— Pop Drug (@PopDrug) February 19, 2026

Some bombarded the once-surprising power couple with congratulations.

Others expressed judgement — for having a pregnancy so soon after kicking off their relationship just last summer.

Many of the replies were, as always, filtered by people’s opinions of these famous and famously hot people.

However, others stopped to question the source of the news. And its validity, of course.

Pop Drug, which tweeted the announcement, isn’t TMZ or The Hollywood Reporter or People or even, say, Deuxmoi. Is the pregnancy news even true?

There is no credible evidence to support the pregnancy claim

Katy Perry has not made an announcement to this effect.

Justin Trudeau has not made an announcement to this effect.

No first-to-know tabloids — the sorts of well-connected operations that directly contact verified sources or might get tips directly from hospital staff or employees of celebrities — have made a report.

We’re not even seeing lesser-known sites claiming to have harder-to-verify reports to this effect.

Could Perry be pregnant? Sure, probably. In her early 40s, it would be a geriatric pregnancy, but probably possible. But possible doesn’t mean that it’s happening.

It is pretty important for everyone to vet their reports a little more closely.

Even if you aren’t familiar with a publication, most will cite their sources — allowing you to trace a rumor back to its origin.

We here at THG will discuss entertainment news rumors like this one and provide all of the information that we have on hand.

In fact, it seems that way may have inspired this apparent social media prank was simply the above Instagram post by Perry.

“Let love be the revolution,” she wrote alongside a series of photos — some featuring Trudeau.

Not every bit of disinformation has a motive

Obviously, there are times when people flood social media with fake news to rot people’s hearts and minds to win elections or promote a business or wage a smear campaign.

But people will also just post brazen lies (or unproven rumors) on social media for its own sake.

Some people are pranksters at heart.

If Perry and Trudeau decide to have a kid, we have a feeling that the world will learn of it through credible reports or by their own announcement.

In the meantime, it’s wise to double-check whose post you’re reading before you take it at face value. (Also, it is 2026 — stop reading tweets altogether!)

Sydney Sweeney Swipes at Taylor Swift With Panties Promo

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The girls are fighting? Maybe?

Sydney Sweeney’s clothing line is SYRN. And her latest eye-popping underwear promo looks like a shot across Taylor Swift’s bow.

Many people make nods to Swift’s songs.

But when your boyfriend is Swift’s #1 enemy in the world, at least in Swifties’ minds, people pay attention.

‘But daddy, I love him’

Using her Instagram Story, Sweeney is showing off SYRN’s new underwear line.

The photo shows an unmistakable pair of panties, soft pastel colors and even with a teeny little bow.

Embroidered upon the fabric in pink thread are the words: “But daddy, I love him.”

Sweeney included the same text written on the screen, also in a pink font.

“Panty packs with some of my lil sayings. Hehehe,” she wrote alongside the SYRN teaser.

Sydney Sweeney's underwear teaser could be a dig at another famous blonde … or maybe just bait for her fans?

Is that a “lil’ saying” of Sweeney’s? Maybe.

However, “But Daddy I Love Him” is one of the songs on Taylor Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department.

That could be a coincidence or, some might argue, an homage. Certainly, Swift was not the first to speak or pen that specific phrase.

But Sweeney is, for reasons known only to her, dating controversial music mogul Scooter Braun.

In case you missed it, Swift and Braun have been locked in a very public feud since 2019.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

What’s the beef with Braun, again?

In 2019, Braun purchased Swift’s masters — and felt the wrath of Swifties all over the world.

There are other reasons to dislike the guy (and things to say in his favor — for one thing, he’s arguably why Justin Bieber is still alive after the singer crashed out about a decade ago), but for Swift, it’s about buying her music rights before she had the chance to.

You know those “Taylor’s Version” editions of her classic songs? Yeah, that’s part of the fallout from that.

Swifties on social media have called out Sweeney for her “audacity” in taking this shot across Swift’s bow.

A number of them have suggested that Swift (who is famously litigious) should sue Sweeney.

Others have reasoned that, not only is “But Daddy I Love Him” not an original phrase to Swift, she’s not even the first to use it in a work of art.

For one example, The Little Mermaid — which came out a few weeks before Swift was born — features that exact line.

Now, the legality of using the line doesn’t really address whether this was a direct, intentional reference to Swift.

If it was a swipe, it was a subtle one.

Many believe that it was not really aimed at Swift at all. Instead, it made headlines and gathered attention to SYRN, in part from Swifties and their outrage.

If that was the plan … it worked.

Prince Harry Says Returning to UK Was Last-Minute Decision: ‘Very Short’

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t spend years planning their return to the UK.

Instead, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to seize an opportunity when the timing felt right — and their children are already enjoying the change.

Harry opened up about the family’s relocation in an interview with GQ that was released this week.

The conversation marked his first interview since he and Meghan returned to the United Kingdom with Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, in August.

The couple had spent six years living in California after stepping back from their royal duties in 2020. Although they had previously considered returning to Harry’s homeland, the decision to make the move came together much faster than one might expect.

“We’ve had plans in the past, and I think for lots of people, it’s like, if you’re going to make a big move like this, that’s going to take a lot of planning,” Harry explained. “For us, it was very short.”

The prince said the family had discussed the possibility before, but the right circumstances ultimately convinced them to act.

“For us, when certain stars align, and it’s clear that this should or probably will end up being the case, then we lean into that,” he said.

Harry also explained that he wanted Archie and Lilibet to experience the country where he grew up, allowing them to discover the positive aspects of his childhood while avoiding some of the less pleasant experiences.

After six years of living in the United States, he said, bringing his entire family to Britain presented an opportunity worth serious consideration.

“This is an opportunity, let’s do it now,” he recalled thinking.

The children’s education also played a major role in the decision. Harry admitted he had not realized just how important the opportunity would be until his kids began attending school in Britain.

“I didn’t know how important it was to me,” he said, adding that Archie and Lilibet had already been in school for two weeks and were loving the experience.

Harry was careful to clarify that he wasn’t criticizing American schools. Rather, he believes exposing children to two different cultures can be especially valuable at their ages.

The move has also given the family more opportunities to spend time with relatives, friends and their children. Harry described enjoying the chance to arrange “endless playdates” as Archie and Lilibet settle into their new surroundings.

Of course, returning to Britain also means Harry is once again navigating a complicated relationship with the British press. His clashes with the media have been a major source of tension since his departure from royal life.

Still, the prince has expressed hope that circumstances will be different this time around, suggesting that mutual respect could allow both sides to move forward.

We’ll see what happens — but for now, it seems that Harry and Meghan are loving their new life overseas.
