So tomorrow, opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Paris were landing 24 hours away, less than 24 hours away, and Celine Dion is getting ready. She went to her hotel after rehearsing until very late last night, 1.30 in the morning, and she got quite the welcome when she got back there. I mean, this is the most heartwarming thing. If you're the Olympic, the International Olympic Committee, this is the subplot that you had prayed for and actually paid for, paid dearly for, and you are loving it. This is a story that is gonna make everyone tune in at the start of the Olympics, which is what they want. So we told you, we broke the story that she was gonna perform. It turns out she's gonna do one song with Lady Gaga, a French song. - Very famous. - Makes sense. - French song. - It was in a SARS-borne, but. - It was, "La Villan Rose." - And by Edith Piaf. - Oh, look at that! - How about that? - She's always been doing his research. - No, I knew. I know where you got Piaf. - Oh, okay. - All right. - So, anywho. So she's gonna perform, was rehearsing. Obviously, you know, she is suffering from a very serious neurological, disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome, which has been debilitating for her, and also affected her voice in a very big way, something she talks about in the documentary. But, we broke a story yesterday, a big story. - Yeah, that the Olympics, just the start, because the next thing Celine Dion is working toward is a residency, a new residency in Las Vegas. And this will, from what we're hearing there, the plan is they hope to have this in place to start at the end of this year, or the beginning of next. And it is going to happen. They are in the very final stages of negotiating this. - And a place that needs Celine Dion. That is, Resorts World, is one of the newer resorts in Las Vegas. - They have our colors. - They do. Actually, I stayed there once, and I thought that, as I was laying out by the pool. I was like, "Oh, yeah, red and black." - You know, now I was probably working and you were in by the pool. - Oh, my gosh. - I'm surprised at this, by the way, that they're struggling because they had Katy Perry. They had Katy Perry. So they originally wanted Celine Dion when they opened back in 2021. - Oh, right, right, right. - But that was going to happen. She was going to have a new residency there. However, that's when she really took ill with the stiff person syndrome, and ended up not being able to go through with that. And then they brought in Katy Perry, and she was there for a while, and now, Kerry Underwood is there. She leaves in late November, and so the door's open for Celine to either start this in late, late, late, probably December or early January. But this is going to happen. - Yeah, and by the way, you guys, this is something we're told she really wanted herself. And if you remember in the documentary, she vowed that she was going to return to the stage, how thankful she is to her fans. She said that she's always wanted to be a singer, and it's because of the fans that she's been able to be so successful. So it makes sense that she wants to do anything she can to reconnect with her fans. And if you guys remember, the first residency that she had in Vegas was like the highest grossing residency in Vegas of all time. So people are definitely loyal to her. They'll continue to come see her. And I think people will understand, because the stiff person syndrome, it doesn't go away. She's going to continue living with this disease. So you've got to wonder, how is it going to be when she is trying to have a scheduled residency where she has scheduled shows? And what happens if one day she has a bad day, you know? And then you have to reschedule the show, but her fans are very aware about what she's going through. And I think she made that very clear in her documentary. She was very just open about her day-to-day struggles. So I think people will be understanding, but you hope it's not your show that gets canceled. - I talked to sources in the middle of all of this. They said this is all her decision, that it's not anybody pushing her. She wants to go on stage. She acknowledges that she has this disease, this disorder that has really affected her voice. But we don't know what her plan B is in the event it flares up, but she is absolutely determined to do this. We do not know, by the way, how long the residency will go? - Residency can be anywhere from months to years. Or it could be a couple of weeks. But they're still working all that out. She will be in Vegas. It's a big deal. - Dasher, Washington DC. I am so happy for Celine. Based on that documentary, she has definitely been through it. And so, you know, the fact that she's getting back up there and doing this, it's extremely admirable. In the eternal words of Wendy Williams, she is an icon, she is a legend, and she is the moment. And she has nothing to prove at this point, but we're here for you Celine. And from me to you, Boschons. - Nah, Boschons. I'm excited to see the opening ceremony for this. - Yeah. - I really am. - Yeah. - Okay, we're gonna move on. - Yeah, to Jennifer Aniston jumping into politics, something we don't normally hear from her, but then again, she doesn't necessarily feel attacked the way that she did with the words from J.D. Vance, the Republican running mate of Donald Trump. And there's a clip that has resurfaced since he was named Donald Trump's running mate since the RNC that has really been passed around on the internet a lot. And I think that's why this came to Jennifer Aniston's attention. Here is the clip. It's from 2021 when he was just a Senator, not the running mate of Donald Trump. And he was on with Tucker Carlson. And here's what he had to say about who's running the Democratic Party. - We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. And so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable too. And it's just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it? - Before we get into Jennifer Aniston's response to that, that is a disgusting thing to say. I'm sorry, forget about politics. - How is it that people who don't have children who don't have a stake in the country? Just on its face, that statement makes no sense. - He threw Pete Buttigieg in as a cat lady, number one. This is before he had his kids, but he was going through something at the time with adoption. But the idea that if you don't have a child, you're automatically miserable in taking the country down a path, feels it's insane. I mean, it's just an insane comment. - I just... - Jennifer Aniston, I'm sorry. - Yes, no, exactly, I'm agreeing with you. And Jennifer Aniston feels maybe even stronger than we do because this is what she said. And again, Jennifer Aniston's not someone who's usually out there even endorsing anyone. She doesn't get into politics, but here's what she had to say. I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States. All I can say is Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option, because you are trying to take that away from her too. - I have a problem with that state. - Oh, really? - Mm-hmm. - Okay, she's referring to there's a law that he had signed. - Right. - And I agree with her on that point. The problem I have is she's almost conceding the childless comment that, yes, it's really sad. - She's conceding the fact that-- - Right. - She's not attacking the thing that we were just saying. - Exactly. - Right. - She's talking about people who are trying to have kids but can't. If you can't or don't want, it doesn't make you a lesser person, which he seems to be saying. - We know back in 2016 that Jennifer Aniston made it clear that she had her own IVF issues, which is why she's deciding to speak out on this. - Jennifer Aniston is not a very political celebrity at all. So you know she's pissed if she's deciding to pick a fight with JD Vance. And while we've seen so many celebrities come out in support of Kamala Harris these past few days, we haven't seen that many, particularly Ayoa's status, who are going straight after the opposition, like JD Vance, and it's interesting to just see her throwing her hat in the ring right now. - Forget about politics, and by the way, let's not stupid here. There are plenty of people who are Republicans who are supporting Donald Trump who don't have children. - Of course. - So how do they feel about that state? - No, listen, if you're someone who's voting for Donald Trump, and his running mate is saying something like this, how do you-- - Well remember that. - But here's the thing about it. - I know it was before, and that's the thing, and that's what's going on with social media right now. That's what's going on with the Democrats right now, is they are not just vetting what people are doing today. They're looking at all their social media for this very thing. - Yeah. - To see, I know. - It's just such an offensive statement. - It's so offensive. - About who you have to speak in the country. - And when I was saying, this is not political, I mean that thing, exactly what you were saying. That there are plenty of Republicans, plenty of people who support Donald Trump who don't have kids, and that doesn't mean you're out of the game, and it doesn't mean you're miserable. - No, not the JD Vance. - In fact, there are people with kids who are miserable. - I know. - No, they are from all day. - What's up, it's Wiz in Tampa, Florida. Obviously, when you look at Vance's comments and the whole, I think as you guys said, it's beyond politics at this point. There's a lot of women who can't have kids. Obviously Jennifer, it hits home for her 'cause she actually tried, like you said. And there's people who choose not to have kids, whether it's for their career or whatever, but I don't think that makes you less of a woman or a miserable woman or a threat to society. I think that those comments are just really disgusting. - Yeah, it would be interesting if he has a change of heart or if he answers to that at all. - I bet he won't even question. - I bet he does. Well, somebody's gonna question it. I mean, if he debates, somebody's gonna ask that question. Yeah, somebody will absolutely ask that question. We are gonna take a break. Would it be interesting if Pete Buttigieg is the running mate, and then they have to debate? Or Jennifer Aniston. (laughs) (upbeat music) I know I have learned a lot. I think you have, and I think millions of Americans have learned a lot about a lot of Gen Z terms over the last few days since Kamala Harris is now the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party. By the way, she's close right on the delegates, right? - What do you mean? - 'Cause I know that she's already in pass. - She's already got it, right? - Oh, yeah, she's got it. - So it's just gonna be official at the convention. - Maybe before. But yeah, there are a lot of terms that have been thrown around that people, certain age, are starting to learn because, and I know this is intentional, but her campaign has decided that there is gonna be an outreach to younger voters. And I got it. It seems brilliant the way they're embracing it. I don't know how much of this Kamala Harris herself knew going into this. - Well, what's really fascinating is there are things she did that were ready made for social media. - Well, no, things that actually triggered criticism, for example, the laughing, the Venn diagrams, the dancing, the coconuts, and it's all turned now. And it's become a thing, especially with young voters, and they are embracing it and loving her for it. So the things she was criticized for three years ago, it's working today. - Yeah. How do they flip it around? We're gonna go to someone who knows all about this playing field, as I said. Taylor Lorenz, who of course was at the Washington Post, is their tech reporter, and she joins us again. Taylor, welcome back to TMZ Live. - Thanks for having me. - So just your overall reaction to this, because really it's only been a few days, and it's like she has taken over social media. - Yeah, she's completely dominating the internet. I think it's, you know, Brad Summer here. I think that, you know, there's just so much excitement about basically young people feeling like they have any sort of sway in the political process, any sort of voice. Young people were not enthusiastic about Biden at all. And so to see that the Democratic Party is somewhat listening to them, and you know, putting a new candidate forward, I think is exciting. - Is it just as simple as the visual of not having, sorry, an old man, because both candidates, for young voters, they're just looking at who's running, and all they saw were these two old men for how many years now, and now they see someone who is very much not that. Is that all it takes to motivate users on the internet? - No, I think that a lot of people were, you know, just really, really upset with Biden over certain issues. I mean, I wrote a story a couple months ago about how pretty much every major Gen Z content creator did not wanna work with Biden or promote his campaign because of his policies in Israel, Gaza, and sort of refusal to condemn the violence happening in Gaza. So now, you know, I think with Kamala, they feel like they have a fresh start, and you see a lot of people saying, look, maybe she'll listen to us, maybe she'll take these issues that Biden said he would take seriously in 2020, like climate change, et cetera, student debt. Maybe we'll start to take, maybe Kamala will start to take those seriously, and maybe reflect some of the values that young voters have. - Well, that may be true, but she is navigating in treacherous waters here because you have the progressive wing of the party. Bernie Sanders came out yesterday saying, he's gonna vote for her, but he's not gonna endorse her yet because he wants to hear about her policies. So she has got to somehow balance that progressive wing against the much larger, mainstream democratic wing of the party, and that's been really hard to do. So what I'm wondering is, you know, there's a honeymoon phase right now, there's this freshness right now, but when you start drilling down in the issues, like you just said, Israel, she's part of the Biden administration, is that gonna become an issue? Is it optics or issues that will win here? - Yeah, well, let's not forget, it is young progressive former Bernie 2020 supporters that made this all happen. They are the ones that were posting the coconut memes, leading the charge. We did a bunch of Washington Post analysis about sort of the accounts that have been posting us. These are a lot of left wing progressive Instagram and ex-users. I totally agree with you. I think now, I mean, she just put out a statement about, you know, some protests that happened in DC yesterday that young progressives are very angry about. I think that she's got to walk this tightrope. - Let's say that, best case scenario for her, that people, especially young people, continue to like her, and she's able to walk that tightrope, as you said. There has always been a problem of animating young voters, and this election is gonna come down to a very small number of people in all probability, in swing states who are gonna make the decision on who the next president's gonna be. Can she animate these voters? You know, as well as anybody in the country, what it takes to get young people out to do something civic? Will they exercise their franchise and go out and vote on November 5th? What do you think? - Well, they're a lot more likely to vote for Kamala than they were for Biden. I think Biden, that was sort of a wash cause. I mean, I saw major tip talkers use, you know, Gen Z activists just saying, don't vote, stay home. Now they're saying, get out and vote. Look, we don't agree with Kamala on all these issues. Yes, we totally disagree with her on, you know, pretty major policy points. But it's really important to get Trump out of office. And look, here's a coherent leader. Here's somebody that can get up and talk and be on the world stage. We're not gonna be embarrassed of her. So I think, you know, I do think that there will be more turnout. It just depends, will she alienate them? Will she say the wrong thing? You know, will she go too hard for Israel and make them, you know, basically back off her? - It's really interesting because you've seen polls, and I know these polls were for a broad demographic, where they've said, voters have said that Israel is not their most important issue, but maybe with younger voters, that is- - It sounds like it. - Right, which is gonna be the- - And it's about who dominates the conversation online. Like when you pull a bunch of people, they might not say that, but who has the loudest platform online, and people with these big platforms do care about this stuff? - Yeah, but Taylor, the problem with that, 'cause I see it here too, I think the problem with that is if you start addressing the loudest people online, you may be, of course, with the main stream, 'cause it's not a large number of people. - The mainstream is more silent. The louder people, if she gets drawn to them like a moth to a flame, she could alienate that huge swath of young voters. - What I would say is that Trump has done an excellent job of catering to some of the most loud, outrageous, sort of like polarizing figures online, and been able to get them as well as getting the rest of the Republican Party on board. I think Democrats need to do the same. I totally agree, right? You're not just gonna go out and chase every single random YouTuber, and it has millions of followers that has extreme views. But you need to be able to not piss them off enough that they're not gonna be right openly against you. And I do think that some of these issues, you know, are just like, Gen Z has different views on issues than people that are older than them. This is classic politics. So I think she, like Trump, needs to navigate a lot of different factions. - Yeah, I think that's politics in a nutshell, right? Don't piss off the largest number of people, right? Right, it's about who you don't piss off, right? Taylor, we're gonna have you on a lot because I have a feeling the battleground is your territory. - Yeah, it's getting messy out there, but it'll be fun. I mean, look, this election just got a lot more interesting. - Yeah, it did, it did. - It did, it did. - Who knew, though, a 59-year-old is considered a youngster? I mean, only in America, right? (laughs) - Well, this-- - You found out young energy. - It's the contrast of what we've been dealing with. Okay, Taylor, thank you so much, really appreciate it. - Thanks for having me. - All right. (upbeat music) - For almost as long as Tyler Perry has been making movies, there have been people who have been pretty loudly criticizing him for some of his creative choices. Tyler Perry movies aren't for everyone, but the people who don't like them are getting louder, and in fact, he's reacting, really, to his latest movie, Divorce in the Black, which, if you hadn't heard on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics gave it zero, which-- - Set off all sorts of discussions in Hollywood where they're at. - Oh, Emma, but the audience-- - The audience score was 75%, which is Tyler's point exactly. Now, some actors actually came out when that news came out about the zero percent, and they kind of jumped on board with it and said, "Listen, Tyler, we love you, but, you know, "why don't you make something a little different? "Why are you doing all the writing?" It was really interesting to see people actually put their names to it and criticize him. Well, he is now firing back at them in a big way. He thinks he understands exactly what's going on here. He was on Kiki Palmer's podcast, and he did not mince words at all. Here's what he has to say to his critics. - For everyone who is a critic, I have thousands of, used to be emails from people saying, "This changed my life. "Oh, my God, you know me. "Oh, my God, you saw me. "How did you know this about my life, my family?" So that is what is important. We're talking a large portion of my fans who are disenfranchised, who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend. So you've got this high brown Negro who is all up in the air with his nose up, looking at everything, and then you've got people like where I come from and me who are grinders, who really know what it's like, whose mothers were caregivers for white kids and were maids and housekeepers and all of these beauticians that don't discount these people and say that their story don't matter. Who are you to be able to say which black story is important? I shouldn't be told. Get out of here with that. - I want to ask you something. - Boy, that was, you could tell that was bubbling up in there. He wanted to get that out. - Probably for years. - Yes. - But I think he has a real point because it's almost like within certain communities, I mean, the gay community, I think to some extent is like this, the black community, my understanding is there's this pressure sometimes that everybody's got to fall in line. I mean, we talked about yesterday, Joey, what are you talking about? Any black person who votes for Trump is just insane, right? And so carrying that forward to this, I mean, isn't that kind of the same thing that people are saying to Tyler that you've got to fall into line and conformity with what we want? - No, I don't think that's what they're saying. The conversation is halfway divided. There's a lot of people pointing out why should he change his stick? If this is what he does and it works for him, it works for him. You guys continuously watch Lifetime movies or Hallmark movies every Christmas and they're all the same and no one complains about that. But on the other voice and the other side, people are saying that the stories that he tells have just become so repetitive and oftentimes they're trauma-based. So they're just saying, when it comes to the black community, they want to see other storylines that Tyler Perry can put out that are less trauma-based. They want more nuances. You know, they're just saying that, can you just broaden the storylines up because we often see the single mom. - Right, but they say, but they want to eat it. - They want to eat it all. - Right, speaking to a group of people and they still have a voice. - And you still hear some of those people that they like the movies and they're the 75%. - Right. - On Ron Tomatoes of the audience saying they like it and that's who he's making these movies for, right? - I did an episode of Objectified with him. - Yes, you have. - And we talked at length about his history, about his homelessness, how he slept in his car and how it affected him in terms of the choices he makes when it comes to art. And, you know, I think this is Tyler Perry's life. - Yeah. - And he's honoring that by, you know, looking at the people. - And if he doesn't make films for that audience. - Who is? - Who is. - Who is. - Yeah. - Hi, I'm Alexis from Atlanta. And I do like some of Tyler Perry's older work, but I do think that the criticism is valid. Calling some of the audience, High Brown Negroes is ridiculous. And I feel like we have not seen any evolution in the storylines, the plots or the weeks. He pays the actors great, but there are more stories from Black people that need to be told. And that's what we're asking for. If he wants his legacy to be attached to equality, he needs to make that change and hire more Black writers. - You're never gonna make everybody happen. That's the truth, we're taking a break. - All right, when we come back, former president Donald Trump, his bullet wound to the ear, was it really a bullet wound? Even the FBI director is now admitting he's not so sure. - We actually have some info on this. - We do. See, when we come back. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Welcome back to TMZ Live. I believe the phrase is the plot thickens. There's been a lot of talk since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump about exactly what hit his ear. How close was the bullet? No one's disputing whether or not there were shots fired, but how close was the bullet? Was it actually a bullet that ended up striking his ear? He quickly came out as did his doctor and said yes indeed, it was a bullet that grazed his ear. I think they actually said ripped through his ear. Is what they said. - But they have described it as greasy. - We're gonna talk about a story that we broke, literally an hour after the shooting, that aligns with what the FBI director told Congress yesterday. - Right. - Here is what Director Ray had to say during his testimony. - I think with respect to former president Trump, there's some question about whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, that his ear. So it's conceivable, as I said here right now, I don't know whether that bullet, in addition to, you know, causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we've accounted for all of the shots and the cartridges, so let us get that in turn. - It's my understanding that the very first one was the one that hit the president. Is that the very first shot or is that not accurate? - I don't, as I said here right now, I don't know the answer to that. I believe we know the answer to that. I just don't have it in front of me. So let us tell you what we found out an hour after the shooting. We spoke to somebody who is a very well-connected source, who was in touch with the Secret Service. We got three things back. Number one, two people were in the hospital. That actually checked out and we didn't know, and nor was the media reporting that there were two people in the hospital. So that was the first thing. The second thing we were told was that the shooter was killed by the Secret Service. That had not yet been reported, but that checked out. And so whoever was giving our source this information clearly knew something because those two things were accurate. The third thing that this person told our source was that, and I'm just, this is the way it was laid out 'cause I spoke to the source, that Trump was hit by shattered glass. Now, I don't know what glass was shattered. I don't know if any glass was shattered frankly, but it is really interesting that this came via the Secret Service to our source, and this was an hour after the shooting. And why would they say that if there wasn't something behind it? You know what I mean? So this interesting and maybe alarming that however, what were more than two weeks beyond the shooting at this point, the FBI director doesn't have that information. I understand that Donald Trump is not in office at this point, so. And that by the way, they wouldn't have the direct contact with him, but he does have a Secret Service detail, which certainly communicates with the FBI. - Yeah, but I think that Trump has spoken with his personal physician who has informed everybody that it was a bullet that hit his ear, and I don't think there's been a real opportunity for anybody to, you'd have to examine the president, the former president in order to know the answer for sure, I think, and he's not exactly gonna make himself available for examination. I think we are stuck where we are in terms of knowing whether it was a bullet or a piece of glass that hit him, unless somebody else is gonna get an examination of the ear. - I think we gotta say, out of the gate here, it doesn't really matter because the fact is that this shooter was going after Donald Trump. - The bigger answer here is what the failures of the Secret Service-- - That's the bigger issue. - That's the bigger issue. - I guess the only reason that people are making a point of this is that Donald Trump in the past has lied about things, and there are people who feel like they're gonna get him and catch him in another lie. This one seems, if it is, a lie seems inconsequential, because-- - And the only thing that's consequential is the narrative is that he came within a hair's breath of being-- - Well, he definitely stood it. - But he did. - Right. - He did. I mean, by the way, in terms of what you're saying, and that you are absolutely right, the massive failure of the Secret Service-- - His bigger issue, yeah. - We have a documentary that will drop on Sunday on 2B. TMZ presents under fire that Trump assassination attempt, we get into this with eyewitnesses, we get into this with former Secret Service agents, we really drill down into the failures and what actually happened that day. - Hey, it's McCauley in Barry, Ontario, Canada. First of all, on this Trump assassination new tidbit of information, it just adds another potential conspiracy theory to a story that the last thing it needed was another layer of conspiracy theory for people to delve into and examine. But like you guys are saying, the bottom line is, an assassination attempt on Trump happened, whether it was Trump or a bullet, and the only thing that really changes his narrative is Trump, that's the assassination attempt ever, I took a bullet. - That is the thing. - Yeah, that is the thing. Bad impression, but get your points. - Hey, you know what, not everybody is gonna nail it, but everyone-- - Phil Mar nails it, okay, we are gonna move on. - Yes, to the big, big movie opening this weekend that everyone is expecting is gonna break records, that is Deadpool and Wolverine. So you've seen Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds out everywhere promoting this movie, right? They even hosted Jimmy Kimmel last night, they had a big premiere in New York. So it doesn't really need any more promotion, does it? - And you certainly don't have to spend money to promote it at this point. - No, and I think that's what Hugh Jackman realized, but he still did a little promotion. - Well, he pretended like he was just fanboying. - Pretend promotion, right. - So this is Sunset Plaza on the Sunset Strip yesterday. So the bodyguard jumps out of the SUV that Hugh's in, and they take a picture of Hugh with the billboard behind him. So it looks like he's just, "Oh my God, there's my billboard, let's take a picture." - Yeah, I mean, you know who sent them out there? - That's the studio. - Disney. - Yeah, he's like a PR person. I know Harvey's been hating on this, but I mean-- - I'm not hating on it. - I think it's kind of corny, maybe I'm hating on it, but it's clearly something that these PR people have been doing, or at least telling their clients, like, "Remember, we saw JLo do it with one of her billboards?" And I mean, they are doing an amazing job at promoting Deadpool though, because I feel like I can't look any which way, and I see Ryan Reynolds or Hugh Jack Mitzvah. - I've seen, just walking around the office, I've seen the two of them on TV shows, on three different TV shows, just walking around the office this morning. - Yeah, they are. - This bar everywhere, but they expect it's, it'll pay off, and I'm sure Disney wants to make sure they're getting the most bang for their buck. - So on Johnson from Alabama, pretty much Hugh is doing what everybody is going to be doing tonight, and for the next few weeks, we're all excited for it. I have my tickets, I don't like that as rated R, but we are definitely looking forward to the mutants, and everybody coming together for this. So, Mario has to kick it up a little bit ever since then, gang. - So it's supposed to break records this weekend? - Yeah, I think they're projecting 170 million. - Wow, wow, it would be a record opening. - Wow. (upbeat music) - Well, Jennifer Lopez is celebrating her birthday, continues to celebrate her birthday. 55 years old, and this is me now. - Yes, it is. - So it's great. - Yes, she does. Anytime a celebrity who looks that good post a photo, everyone goes, oh, thirst trap, thirst trap, and especially because it's her 55th birthday, and if it is a thirst trap, come on. - Care, so be it. - So be it. - She's been through it this year. - Definitely had a rough year. - Clearly on the path to divorce. Again, so this made it all the more interesting that she decided to post a song she sang with a vocal coach. And this song telegraphs a different story. (upbeat music) ♪ The last thing I saw ♪ ♪ Just be happy again ♪ ♪ Happy times ♪ ♪ Happy nights ♪ ♪ Happy days ♪ ♪ Are ♪ ♪ Yeah ♪ ♪ Oh yeah ♪ - Wow, how are we all moved or what? - I'm torn to force. (laughing) - I moved. You guys, she's-- - That was good. That was really good. - She's trying to turn the page, right? She's like, she's been through it, Ben didn't show up for her birthday. He didn't go to-- - Well, I don't know that he was invited. - I don't think so either. - Okay, I was hoping for some grand gesture. He didn't show up, so she put a bathing suit on and she sang about happy days, are coming and she looks very sad days are in her face, but hopefully this means she's turning the page. - I agree with you, Katie, that it is sort of turning the page and things are gonna be fine. Happy days are here. It's, the only thing that's odd about it is they haven't acknowledged the end. She's already turning the page, but she hasn't acknowledged that page needs turning. - They listed the house. - She's looking for a new house and he's moved out and they wear the ring some days and they don't wear the ring. - Katie, you wanna do the grand finale or are we gonna move on? (laughing) - No, no, no. I'm good. I'm gonna let J.Lo take this one. - David of the Christmas party. - Okay. (laughing) - Hi, Janet Chanel from APO. Happy birthday, Janet. I would just say you need a ticket 'cause you're doing 55 and a 35 mile speed limit. Girl, you look at 34, 35 every day and then need a ticket too for missing her birthday. - Wow. - Okay, no. It is that time of the week, Bob. - Yes. - Your favorite time, Tim is here with his rejects and no, Katie singing is not one of them. - Right. (laughing) - I don't think it is. (laughing) - All right. So, how would you guys rate your wakeboarding skills on the one to 10 skill? - I've had somewhere around a zero. - No, not good at all. - That's mine. I'm not speaking for you. - Nice, okay. - Can I offend you? - Nice, okay. - I don't know how good you are, Harvey, but Charles, I'm betting this dog is better at wakeboarding than you is a little French bulldog here out on the water. - I'm not in that bet, yes. - The water is glass right there. - Right. - But if there are waves in the dog, hold on. - No, no, no, no. It's just really traumatic for the dog if the dog goes flying off the way. (laughing) - I don't think they're going too fast there, so. - Okay, next. - All right, so normally when you go surfing, you surf into the coastline, right? - Yeah, yes. - Okay, well, check this out. This is called a backwash, and these guys are surfing the opposite direction into the ocean, which is pretty cool. It's in Hawaii, so-- - Is there a profession that I've never seen that? - And it's going the opposite way, and they're kind of cruising. The only problem is you go against the incoming waves as well. - Yeah, and then the incoming waves, at some point, you're gonna-- - And they stayed on the board, two of them stayed on the board. - Two of them stayed, and then the last one stayed there, but pretty interesting to see that happen, so. - I never seen that before, that was interesting. Okay, last one. - All right, so when you want to have a little fun, you get in a tire, you push your buddy down the hill, right? - Yeah, all the time. - Oh, yeah, it is kind of fun. So here it is, this guy has his buddies going down the hill, but I don't-- - Is it in the tire? - He's in the tire, but I don't think they realize how steep the hill is, so his buddy's trying to stop him. - Oh, no. - He's peeking. - And the thing, oh jeez. - And he keeps going, and then his buddy keeps going, and he's chasing after him, and as you can see, he's trying to stop the tire. - Oh, they're trying to get out! - Oh, no. - He eventually catches the tire, but then he falls on the tire, keeps going, so it's-- - What, where is he? - So the guy, eventually, it flattens out, and he gets out. - Wait a minute, how do you know-- - Do you know what you're just saying? - That's insane, that's insane. - They posted another video, and he is. He's fine, but before you go down the hill, make sure it's not steep. - Yeah, hey, I'll remember that next time. - Yeah, exactly. - Okay, Dan, thank you, Dan. - All right, good job! - Those tires are solid. - That was hysterical. - That poor-- - Why would anybody ever do that for themselves? - It's like, when is this gonna stop? It's like, did you ever do that? Did you ever go inside of the dryer, the laundromat? - No! - That's how bad it was in Rosita. I'm just telling you. - Oh, my God. - Yeah. - All right. (upbeat music) - Not that she needs another side hustle, but I think Cardi B could have one being a food critic. - She actually could. - She should be on the food network. - Watch what she had to say about a Popeye. - You gotta set this up, like 4.30 in the morning. - It's 4.30 in the morning. It seems like she was in the studio. She's in New York City, and they decided to go out and get some Popeyes, which, by the way, kudos to New York City that you can get Popeyes for the morning. - The problem is, can you get fresh Popeyes at 4 in the morning? - Mm-hmm. - That seems to be-- - Cardi is not impressed with what she got on this Popeyes run. - Lemon pepper flavor with honey or the sweet taste on it. It's just not good. It tastes like a (beep) bright soda. I don't (beep) like it. From one through 10, I'll give it a two. I like the other one. I like the sweet heat. I was trying to do lemon pepper. I did not though I was gonna come with a sweet kick to it. I don't (beep) like it. (both laughing) - The honey lemon pepper is not, not hitting. - What's she expecting though? I mean, obviously at 4.30 AM, you're never gonna get quality as is, but also like honey with lemon pepper is never gonna go well, right? I mean, you're looking at lemon pepper, it's supposed to be savory, and then you're gonna throw a sweet sauce on it. I don't know what she was expecting. - I don't know, I would be game to try that. They know what they're-- - Oh yeah. - Well-- - You're gonna have fried chicken. - Okay, I'm lying. Any who, Popeye actually-- - Popeye, well Popeyes did, I don't know. - Popeyes. - Oh no, Popeye. - Popeye, he said. - I'm strong to the finish. - If you can't take the-- (both laughing) - Okay, here's what. - Here's what Popeyes did say. If you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen, and we are in the kitchen a lot. We welcome all wing rankings and reviews as we believe variety is the spice of life, and that's why we have six flavors for wing enthusiasts like Cardi to enjoy. - I love that she got their attention. - Yeah. - I think that's awesome. - Hey, I'm Sarah in New York City. I think all press is good press. My prediction, honestly, is that within the next few months, we're gonna see Cardi formally collab with Popeyes, release her own flavor. I think this is the start of a beautiful show. - That's actually a great idea. - I'm sure they're reaching out to her. Whether or not she does it, but I would imagine. Cardi says, "I'm giving this one a 10." I love it. What else you guys wanna talk about? - Hey, it's Ian from Canada. I'm talking about Celine Dion. Now, I'm not sure if either of you saw a recent documentary last month, it shows her painfully persevering through her illness to hopefully one day perform again. Now, this residency announcement with future potential concerts shows that there's a fruition to that struggle. Now, she's an indomitable woman and a great ambassador to Canada. So I'll throw that in there, too. - Of course. - That she is. We figured you would as well you should. - As you should. One more. - Hi, I'm Simone from Minnesota, and I'm talking about Jennifer Aniston and her disapproval of JD Vance's statement and comments regarding IVF. It seems like he thinks that you need to reproduce in order to be valuable in this country, but it's very expensive to raise a child. So I don't think he should be making comments about a struggle he's never had and probably never will have. And I think he needs to be more considerate of the population that works the hardest. - Well said. (upbeat music) How in the world do you follow up Game of Thrones when you're the star of such a huge series? Well, Kit Harrington, gone. - He's gone to the stage in London. - On the stage of London. - Yes. - He is starring in a new play. It's called Slave Play. And one of the people on staff decided to post some behind the scenes photos. - This was not posted by Kit. - No, he did not post it, but wow. And in fact, the person who posted it said, "Oh, Kit's gonna kill me for this." I don't think Kit's gonna be too upset. - Geez. - I mean, he was not like he was out of shape when he was playing Jon Snow, but wasn't like that. - No, he was not like that guy. - Does anyone know what this play is about and why he's so buffed? - That is just crazy. - It must be for the role, right? I have no idea. I mean, maybe he's also, he could also be doing a movie. - Yeah, it could be a movie that he's doing, yeah. - I don't know. Go back to the picture. - You don't understand that picture. - Yeah. - I'm kidding. - Yeah, oh, you want to look at the, what kind of mirror is that? Is there a mirror back there? - Yeah. - Oh, interesting. - Okay, we will see you tomorrow. (upbeat music)
