Seth Meyers hits back at his big critic
Seth Meyers is known for his sharp jabs, so when the U.S. president called him out for previously joking about his idea for steam-powered catapults on the American aircraft carriers—he hit back.
“Look, in general, I try to live by the New Yorker’s creed. When someone is ranting and raving about you, ignore them. Chances are, they’re just going to move on and rant about something else,” says the host on his recent late-night show.
He continues, “But there is one thing that I simply have to address: You can say I’m untalented, you can say I’m deranged, but I’m not the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers. You’re the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers!”
Earlier, Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, raged that Seth is “the least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television,” describing him as “a truly deranged lunatic.”
It is worth noting that since the beginning of his second presidency, the U.S. president has locked horns with several late-night show hosts, who have a history of criticizing him, including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon.

Shania Twain wants to sing at Harry Styles, Zoe Kravitz wedding
Shania Twain has made her pitch to perform at Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz’s wedding, and she’s not being subtle about it.
The 60-year-old country legend, who is currently opening for Styles on the first leg of his world tour, made the declaration during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Pulse on Friday.
When host Joe “Brady” Blum floated the idea of Twain performing at the celebrity nuptials, she didn’t hesitate. “Oh! I would say yes if he asked,” she replied. “Just putting it out there, Harry.”
Twain is well placed to make the case, she and Styles are currently sharing stages together for the opening 12 shows of his world tour, all being held in London.
She described the invitation to open for him as “really nice,” adding that it made sense for him to begin there.
When Brady expressed hope that the pair might perform Man! I Feel Like A Woman! together again, Twain sounded equally keen.
“I hope we do, too,” she said.
As for the wedding itself, she was playfully realistic about the logistics. When asked whether she could be the entertainment, she mused aloud: “What if they disagree on that?”
Brady suggested that Kravitz’s father Lenny Kravitz could also have a say in the musical lineup, which prompted Twain to propose a rather appealing solution. “Right, him and I could sing it together,” she said with a smile.
Styles and Kravitz, 37, have been one of the most talked-about couples in entertainment since their relationship became public.
Kravitz was spotted last month wearing an impressive diamond ring, widely taken as confirmation of their engagement following a whirlwind romance of around eight months.
The Batman actress was previously engaged to actor Channing Tatum before they split in October 2024, and was briefly married to actor Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2020.

Adam Driver replies to Lena Dunham’s shock memoir claims
Adam Driver has finally responded to the explosive allegations Lena Dunham made about him in her memoir, and he did it with exactly one sardonic sentence.
Speaking at a Cannes Film Festival press conference for his new film Paper Tiger on Sunday, the 42-year-old was asked about the claims Dunham made in Famesick, her recently published tell-all.
His reply was brief and dry: “I have no comment on that, I’m saving it all for my book.”
It was a masterclass in saying nothing while saying quite a lot.
The response came weeks after Dunham’s 416-page memoir landed with considerable force, containing a series of serious allegations about Driver’s behaviour on the set of Girls, the HBO series on which he played Hannah Horvath’s volatile on-off boyfriend Adam Sackler.
Dunham accused him of screaming at her in her trailer, hurling a chair at the wall beside her, and punching a hole in his own trailer wall.
She also claimed he ignored the agreed blocking during their first intimate scene, physically manhandling her in a way that left her shaken.
“Stunned, I couldn’t speak for a moment,” she wrote, describing the confusion and self-doubt that followed.
Dunham has been candid about why she didn’t confront him at the time.
Speaking to The Guardian in April, she said: “At that point in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses do, eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised by a male genius who would never do that.”
The memoir also ventured into more personal territory, with Dunham claiming she and Driver came close to having an affair a month before he got engaged to his wife Joanne Tucker in 2012.
She wrote that she pulled back when he arrived at her New York home, choosing not to cross a line she felt would make returning to work impossible.
Driver, she alleged, later acknowledged the moment to her, saying: “When my girl was away, I realised I’m no good alone. I need someone to keep me in line.”
The Cannes press conference where Driver made his comment was for Paper Tiger, James Gray’s crime drama in which he plays former police officer Gary Pearl.
