Anora won the top prize of best picture at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, while Emilia Pérez, Wicked and The Substance each captured three trophies.

The Brutalist star Adrien Brody won best actor; Demi Moore won best actress for her work in The Substance; Emilia Pérez actress Zoe Saldaña won best supporting actress and A Real Pain‘s Kieran Culkin, who wasn’t in attendance, won best supporting actor.

Emilia Pérez, currently dealing with the fallout from controversial, recently resurfaced tweets by star and best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón, won two other awards at the ceremony, voting for which closed on Jan. 10, well before Gascón’s past posts emerged. The mood within Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, where the awards took place, was relatively somber with each win for the Netflix musical. Still, the film took home awards for best foreign language film and best song in addition to Saldaña’s trophy.

Mikey Madison has arrived stylishly late!

The 25-year-old Anora actress posed for photos on the red carpet at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards on Friday (February 7) at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Calif.

For the event, Mikey looked chic in a black and white dress paired with black gloves.

Mikey unfortunately arrived late at the ceremony and missed a shout-out from host Chelsea Handler in her opening monologue.

Chelsea joked that Anora was a biopic “about Melania Trump.”

“That was a wild, wild ride. Russians and prostitutes, who would have ever connected those dots. Certainly no one in this room,” she added as the crowd laughed.

She also praised Mikey for her role in the movie.

Self-described “Dei host” Chelsea Handler emceed the Critics Choice Awards on Friday for the third year in a row, and while she addressed the devastating wildfires and tackled politics (including a swipe at first lady Melania Trump), Handler shied away from the topic that was on everyone’s mind: Karla Sofía Gascón.

The Best Actress nominee’s offensive social media posts about such topics as Muslims, George Floyd, and diversity at the Oscars were unearthed last week by a journalist, causing the Emilia Pérez awards campaign to be derailed. Gascón previously announced that she wouldn’t attend the Critics Choice ceremony and other awards-related events. She’s also up for an Oscar next month, and made history there as the first openly transgender person ever nominated in Best Actress.

President Donald Trump says he has fired multiple members of the board at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and will soon install himself as chair.

In a post on Truth Social Friday, Trump said he had removed the chairman, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, saying he did not “share our vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture,” citing drag shows reportedly held at the performing arts venue.

“At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Great Again. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, Donald J. Trump!,” the post reads.

It’s no secret that gaming is slowly taking over the world. In fact, some statistics revealed that roughly 40% of the world’s population loves this hobby and it seems like the United States President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, is also among the proud gaming community.

Many are expecting Barron Trump to follow in his father’s footsteps as a politician. However, he has mostly tried to live a normal life throughout his teenage years unlike Trump’s other sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The 18-year-old is often spotted accompanying his father at big events but like other teenagers, he also loves playing video games, especially the ones that involve wars.

Things are certainly getting nasty to say the least. Melania Trump’s critics are defending the first lady after she was attacked by none other than Anna Wintour.

In fact, one of Melania’s friends has even stepped up put the fashion editor in her place. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Melania Trump’s – Friends Go After Her Critics

Anna Wintour of Vogue had this to say about Melania’s official White House portrait: “Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of ‘The Apprentice’ than assuming the role of first lady of the United States,” and “more like a freelance magician than a public servant.”

Of course, it didn’t take very long for one of Melania’s best friends, Bill White, to hit back at the first lady’s critic. He even nicknamed Melania ‘Conde Nasty.”

White said, “We love and adore her.

Tony Robbins, the noted life coach and self-help author, is teaming with Paramount Global to launch a Fast channel.

The channel, which will be available this summer on Pluto TV, Prime Video, Plex and Roku, will offer access to Robbins’ seminars for the first time. It will feature programming spanning more than four decades.

Robbins announced the venture Wednesday at a panel during NATPE and the RealScreen Summit in Miami, appearing alongside Dan Cohen, Paramount’s Chief Content Licensing Officer.

In the conversation, the partners mentioned numerous times that filmmaker Brett Ratner played a key role in connecting Robbins with Paramount after the company initiated the idea and sought buy-in from Robbins. The exact nature of his involvement was not specified during the session, but he will lend a hand with production and planning. The Rush Hour director was spotted amongst NATPE attendees in the lobby of the InterContinental Hotel.

Staffers at “60 Minutes” urged one another to keep the venerable CBS newsmagazine going even as corporate parent Paramount Global investigates the possibility of settling what is seen as a flimsy lawsuit tied to a report that ran on the show.

Speaking during a meeting held Monday, both correspondents Scott Pelley and Anderson Cooper cautioned an assemblage of employees who work for the Sunday-night mainstay against letting the lawsuit tear the show apart and distract people from the journalism is presents each week, according to a person familiar with the matter.

CBS News declined to make executives available for comment.

Employees at the Paramount Global unit have grown increasingly wary of Paramount’s willingness to consider settling the matter, according to people familiar with conversations taking place, seeing such efforts as a move to keep the looming acquisition of the company by Skydance Media on track, rather than supporting honest newsgathering.

You’d think by now that she would get the attention and the respect that she deserves, but that clearly hasn’t happened yet.

Melania Trump Gets Roasted Once Again

Of course, we are talking about Melania Trump as she is once again getting roasted. Not only that, but the editors at Vogue are also making it pretty clear that she will probably never pose for the cover of their magazine ever.

That’s because Anna Wintour just gave the First Lady a pretty harsh criticism of her official White House portraits. She said that Melania looked like she was a freelance magician in her suit.

For a lot of Melania’s fans and critics, this doesn’t surprise her at all. Anna Wintor and the left has made it pretty clear that they will never be Melania’s fan, simply because of her political affiliation and the fact that...

Today his father Donald Trump became the 47th President of the United States, but it was his youngest child Barron Trump who stole a bit of shine on the big day.

Barron’s popularity has exploded since he turned 18 this year, being credited for helping his father win his second term in office.

On a day of peace and dignity, Barron shone as the nation’s eyes were on the 6’7” teen during the transfer of power in Washington, DC.

In particular he’s being praised for as a “a true gentleman” for his act of polite kindness to outgoing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Here’s what to know!

“This is the most important city and essential city anywhere in the world,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom emphatically at a press conference today to discuss his L.A. Rises initiative, which he officially announced earlier in the day. L.A. Rises aims to help the city as it recovers from the recent fires that destroyed thousands of structures.

That effort will be led by high-profile sports and entertainment leaders, including Magic Johnson, Casey Wasserman and Dodgers Chairman Mark Walter. Its mandate is to create “a unified recovery initiative that brings together private sector leaders to support rebuilding efforts led by the city of Los Angeles.”

Wasserman emphasized that the project is not just about rebuilding but also “the rebirth” of L.A.

“This is about what L.A. is going to be like for the next 50 or 100 years,” he said from the podium. Key to that will be a public-private...

She’s finally taking a stand. There’s heavy speculation on social media that suggests Melania Trump doesn’t want to be left in the dark. In fact, it seems like she doesn’t want the history books to remember her as a first lady who just went to the day spa and stayed in the shadows. She doesn’t want to do that anymore.

Melania Trump Doesn’t Want To Do This Anymore

Instead, Melania Trump wants to be seen as someone who will make a difference. Already in her first week back at the White House, she accompanied her husband Donald Trump to visit the hurricane victims of North Carolina along with the wildfire victims in California.

Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his iconic Hamilton role on Saturday Night Live, but his performance was interrupted by Donald Trump.

The 45-year-old actor and playwright appeared as Alexander Hamilton on the January 25 episode of the popular late-night show during the cold open. His attempt to unite the nation with the power of music was offset by James Austin Johnson‘s impression of Donald, who officially returned to office this week.

“We will have leaders, but know one thing / In America we will never have a king,” he sang before Donald entered the stage, declaring that he was “in [his] king era” and prepared to make a new version of America.

The episode of SNL will be hosted by Timothee Chalamet.

Carrie Underwood’s awkward moment at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony allegedly put the American Idol executives in a stressful position.

The inauguration ceremony of convicted felon Donald Trump was the topic of debate on the Internet for hours and hours. From the presence of names like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jess Bezos to Melania Trump’s outfit for the event and the moments that took place during the ceremony.

To add to it, Carrie Underwood’s performance faced a technical glitch that was called embarrassing and awkward. She sang America The Beautiful at the event, but the controversy surrounding her has not gone down well with American idol executives, possibly affecting her standing on the show.

Updated with additional details: After some contentious moments in which he blamed state and federal officials over water and forest management as contributors to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, President Donald Trump on Friday told a gathering of local L.A. elected officials that “I’m going to give you everything you want.”

“I’m going to give you more than any president ever would have ever given to you,” Trump said, concluding a 45-minute roundtable session that included Democrats Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-ca) and Rep. Judy Chu (D-ca). It came after he toured devastated areas of the Pacific Palisades, where a 23,000-acre fire destroyed 6,800 homes and structures, killing 11.

He arrived after meeting California Gov. Gavin Newsom at the airport (see more on that below).

Updated, with additional comments and participants: Donald Trump departed the White House on Friday for his first trip since his inauguration, with an itinerary that includes a visit to Los Angeles to survey fire damage and get an update on the recovery efforts in the Pacific Palisades.

But one name is not on the list of elected officials scheduled to attend a fire emergency briefing: California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is on the list, as are a number of congressional representatives including Rep. Brad Sherman (D-ca), whose district covers areas hardest hit by the disaster.

On Thursday, Newsom said he planned to be on the tarmac to greet Trump, expected to arrive around 2:30 p.m. Pt.

Meta is denying that Facebook and Instagram users were forced to follow accounts for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and First Lady Melania Trump.

After the inauguration, users on Meta’s social media apps noticed that they were following the pages for the new administration without their knowledge. Celebs like Demi Lovato and Gracie Abrams have expressed that they are also unable to press the unfollow button.

Demi wrote on her Instagram Story, “i have unfollowed this guy twice today. Shady f–cking business meta.”

Due to Mark Zuckerberg‘s attendance at the inauguration, his decision to stop Facebook’s fact-checking initiative, and his company’s $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, many assumed that this glitch was something he did on purpose.

Meta is denying that.

Donald Trump’s inauguration and transition into the presidency have certainly turned many heads. As the world tries to prepare for what is to come, it is only inevitable that parts of his public appearances will be turned into memes by the internet. This doesn’t only include the president himself, but also those who are with him.

From his children, Elon Musk, and even his wife, no one seems to be spared by the internet when it comes to making fun. Most recently, Melania Trump has become the subject of being turned into a meme after attending Trump’s inauguration.

The outfits that those close to the president wear at the inauguration are very important.

While Melania Trump’s return to the White House as First Lady has reignited interest in her life, attention has also turned to her older sister, Ines Knauss, who has maintained a quiet existence, seldom seen at public events or in family photographs. Despite her familial connection to one of the world’s most high-profile women, Ines has been avoiding the public eye for decades.

Knauss elected to skip the inauguration festivities to maintain her anonymity.

Born in Slovenia, the sisters grew up in a close-knit family before both pursuing careers that took them beyond their hometown. Ines, reportedly an artist and former fashion designer, played a significant role in shaping Melania’s journey. In Melania’s eponymous biography, she mentions her sister by name no less than 30 times. Melania has described her sister as her “guiding light and inspiration,” emphasizing the depth of their bond. This connection has endured throughout their lives,...

Sure, she might have a fabulous life but that doesn’t mean her life is always easy. Of course, we are talking about Melania Trump as she recently admitted that she felt like an outcast during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

Melania Trump – Admits She Was An Outcast

That’s because she believes that people didn’t accept her as much as they do now. Clearly, a lot has changed since both Donald Trump and Melania Trump were last in Washington, D.C.

In her interview with Fox News, Melania Trump says that during her husband’s fist term in office, she felt as though she was an outcast but is hoping to change that this time around.

The former model also said that she’s not someone that can be pushed around very easily and that she shares her own opinions with her husband, even if they...

The night before Donald Trump returned to the White House, one of the splashiest inauguration week bashes was kicking off at D.C. hot spot Sax Restaurant & Lounge. Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame performed, while conservative VIPs Ben Shapiro, comedian Terrence K. Williams and “Am I Racist?” star Matt Walsh were honored while a crowd of 600 partied until the wee hours.

While the guest list was apropos for a Trump 2.0 celebration, some might be shocked by who sponsored and shelled out $75,000 for the event: none other than TikTok, which signed on to host in November. This marked a stark shift from 2017, when Trump was persona non grata among mainstream media companies.

“It was kind of happenstance that the party ended up being on the same day that they were scheduled to go dark,” says Cj Pearson, co-chair of the GOP Youth Advisory Council and a co-host of the party.

Kim is being slammed by users on the Internet for her online behavior and it has a connection to Melania’s inauguration ceremony look.

Melania has been less visible in the public eye since her husband Donald Trump’s departure from the White House in 2021. But now that the Trumps are back, we’ll see her more often, serving in style as usual. Hervé Pierre, her trusted style advisor, will most likely help her prepare for her upcoming public appearances.

Ever caught someone’s eyes lingering a little too long, and you just know they’re not looking at your shoes? Sometimes, a single glance can stir more commotion than an entire speech. That’s exactly what happened at Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, where a brief, unassuming look from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg became the talk of social media.

The star of this unintentional viral moment? Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, stole the spotlight in a jaw-dropping Alexander McQueen outfit that made more headlines than any of the event’s speeches.

President Donald Trump dismissed reports that he made billions after launching his new cryptocurrency token last week. Two days later, First Lady Melania Trump launched her cryptocurrency $Melania.

Barron Trump is preparing to re-enter the real estate market with plans to relaunch his luxury property venture, Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc., in the spring following his father’s inauguration.

The 18-year-old freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business initially incorporated the business in Wyoming on July 14, 2024, but later dissolved it after Donald Trump secured victory in the 2024 presidential election.

The company’s principal address was listed as the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Co-founder Cameron Roxburgh, who met Barron while attending Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, stated that the decision to dissolve the firm was made to “avoid media scrutiny during the election.” Roxburgh added that they plan to “relaunch it” once the new administration takes office.

The company, which will focus on high-end real estate development, has identified potential properties and golf courses in Utah, Arizona and Idaho. Roxburgh confirmed that he...

Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, delivered a plea to President Donald Trump while giving a sermon at the Service of Prayer for the Nation.

At the end of her sermon, Budde addressed Trump‘s own remarks that he was “saved by God” to be the president again.

“Millions have put their trust in you. As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” she said. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in both Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.

“President McRib is back for a limited time: only four years,” said Jimmy Kimmel during his post-inauguration day Jimmy Kimmel Live! show on Monday night.

“Today at noon Eastern, our long, national nightmare was officially sworn in another time, a second time,” Kimmel continued. “Donald Trump became the first convicted felon to be sworn in as president of the United States today. He’s selling inauguration bibles to celebrate, he launched a new meme coin over the weekend to the tune of some say $41 billion — he launched his own cryptocurrency days before he became president. I hope we all understand how crazy that is; the president of the United States, following in the footsteps of the Hawk Tuah Girl.“

Ariana Grande appears to have thrown some subtle shade at Carrie Underwood’s a capella performance during Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The pop superstar, 31, “liked” an Instagram post on Monday that mocked the “American Idol” alum’s rendition of “America the Beautiful,” which she performed without accompaniment due to an audio malfunction.

Donald Trump Inauguration: Ariana Grande Likes Post Mocking Carrie Underwood’s A Cappella Performance of America the Beautiful

The Instagram post included a photo of Vice President Kamala Harris’s expression as Underwood sang, paired with a caption referencing a famous quote from “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 2 contestant Coco Montrese.

“Kamala Harris evoking Coco Montrese watching Carrie Underwood at today’s chilling Inauguration,” the post read. Montrese’s iconic remark went viral in 2016 when she told a fellow contestant to “find the note.”

Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed Grande’s interaction with the post and shared their reactions in the comments.

Well, this certainly was a bold fashion statement to make. Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman managed to raise eyebrows when he showed up to the Inauguration wearing shorts. And of course, there are a lot of people out there who want to know why.

John Fetterman Wore Shorts To The Inauguration For This Reason

Per the latest reports, Senator John Fetterman shows up to Trump’s inauguration in gym shorts and a Carhartt sweatshirt.

Apparently, John wanted to prove a point about the inauguration. He wanted to show the world that it wasn’t too cold to have it held outside and the only reason why it was held inside this year was because of security threats.

Clearly, John Fetterman knows something that the rest of the world doesn’t know.

It goes without saying that the internet certainly did have a lot to say about the matter. Some even commented with,...

Melania Trump has returned to the White House with her husband Donald Trump aka the 47th President of the United States of America. The First Lady is all set to follow through with her duties as she accompanies him for the next four years to come. The two began dating shortly after bumping into each other at a 1998 party and while they have had their highs and lows, their relationship seems to be going strong.

Before her, though, Donald Trump had been through a few headline-worthy relationships and today, in particular, let’s talk about his affair with model and actress Marla Maples. Their relationship was constantly under media scrutiny and the pair eventually parted ways in 1997.

Jimmy Kimmel addressed the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump on Monday night’s edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and noted how odd the ceremony turned out to be — just as “our long national nightmare was officially sworn in.”

“It’s still pretty hard to wrap your head around,” he said of the fact that Trump, a convicted felon, was nonetheless elected president once again. And the grift has already started: Selling inauguration Bibles, and a new meme coin that has already minted him a fortune.

“I hope we all understand how crazy that is,” he said, “the President of the United States – following in the footsteps of the Hawk Tuah girl.”

As for the decision to hold the inauguration inside to the cold, “they had to move the festivities indoors – which was actually better for Trump. Harder for Melania to escape.”

And Kimmel noted that President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden...

Melania Trump opted for a timeless patriotic look at husband Donald Trump‘s presidential inauguration on Monday, wearing a custom double-breasted navy coat by American designer Adam Lippes and a matching boater hat by Eric Javits.

The ensemble reflected a classic and sophisticated style, with Lippes expressing his pride in dressing the First Lady for the historic event.

“The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Lippes said in a statement. “Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.”

Melania completed her look with black leather gloves and dark blue suede pumps, complementing President Trump’s navy coat. Ivanka Trump also made an appearance at the morning’s church service, donning a forest green skirt suit and a coordinating hat.

While some might say Donald Trump’s inauguration marked a somber day in U.S. history, The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart had dick jokes aplenty.

The comedian and political host incised the D.C. affair with one-liners aimed at those in attendance (from their fashion choices to their general decision to show up at all), X owner Elon Musk’s odd/potentially terrifying salute and outgoing Potus Joe Biden’s down-to-the-wire blanket pardon.

Regarding the peaceful transition of power, which began with Biden’s tea-time with Trump, Stewart quipped: “I’m not saying Biden should have done his own insurrection, but there’s gotta be a happy medium between storming the Capitol and ‘would you like a crumpet?'”

As for those present, Stewart marveled at the people who had previously denounced Trump — as a fascist and otherwise — who dropped by: “George Bush seemed kind of there — definitely high. Even Mike Pence showed up,...

Oscar de la Renta is facing backlash after dressing Ivanka Trump for an inaugural dinner ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20.

The fashion house shared images of Ivanka, 43, wearing a “custom off-shoulder crystal and pearl floral-embroidered empire waist gown with silver stole,” prompting outrage from some followers on social media.

Many fashion fans took to Instagram to express their disappointment, with some vowing to boycott the brand.

“Oh, okay, so we’re done with Odlr,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “Odlr sold their soul. Unsubscribe.”

Others called the decision to dress Ivanka “disgraceful” and “unforgivable,” with one user stating, “Unfollow after maybe 8 to 10 years. Loved your content but this is unacceptable. Bye.”

The morning after she hosted the Golden Globes, comedian Nikki Glaser dropped by Howard Stern’s radio show to discuss her monologue and all the jokes she couldn’t tell — jokes that were left on the cutting room floor because of time, the sensitive nature of the Beverly Hilton crowd or a mainstreamed notion of decency.

She was hardly the first person to do this, a post-mortem ritual that allows edgier emcees to blur the line between public and private, restraint and release, allowing them to be contained and uncontainable all at once.

After his formal inaugural address on Monday, Jan. 20 — conducted in the Capitol Rotunda out of fear that his supporters have a level of weather-based common sense comparable to that of drunk fans at wintery NFL games — President Donald Trump made a brief show of adherence to norms by standing around long enough to watch Joe Biden depart.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was awkwardly spotted at the same pre-inauguration event as her ex-fiancé Donald Trump Jr. and his new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson. Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. attended a candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum while Anderson, Trump Jr.’s new romantic interest, stayed close by his side.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, who had been engaged since January 2022, broke up after rumors surfaced of Trump Jr.’s new relationship with Anderson, the Florida socialite. Despite the breakup, sources emphasize that it was not contentious. One insider described their split as “amicable” and clarified that it was “not going to blow up.”

Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. had been together since 2018, shortly after Trump Jr.’s divorce from his wife Vanessa. Their relationship, though marked by an extended engagement, was said to have been in a “holding pattern” for some time before they decided to part ways. Even after the split, the...

Ivanka Trump is causing a stir without saying a word.

On Monday, January 20, Donald Trump made history when he was sworn in as US President.

Now, a legendary fashion house that once dressed the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy has — in the eyes of many — diminished its legacy by doing the same for Ivanka.

Oscar de la Renta passed away in 2014 following a battle with cancer. The singular designer’s eponymous fashion house remains in operation.

That same house also dressed Ivanka Trump for her January 19, 2025 inaugural dinner with the controversial former president ahead of his retaking power.

The 60th presidential inauguration (and the weekend events leading up to it) presented a second opportunity for the Trumps to put their stamp on Washington style.

The ceremony was moved indoors for the first time in 40 years, due to frigid weather in Washington, D.C., giving fashion a brighter spotlight at the event that might be considered the Oscars of the political world. On Monday, Jan. 20, key members of the new administration arrived together at the Capitol in an energetic burst of style and color.

“When Trump’s Cabinet hopefuls got off that bus together, that was an instant made-for-tv moment,” says Washington, D.C.-area fashion stylist and self-described style strategist Lauren A. Rothman, who has been in the business for over 20 years and dressed a few inaugural guests this year. “There were bold pops of color that show up on a TV screen. The hair was styled to look glossed and ready,...

Ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted Trump and Melania Trump for a private tea at the White House. The meeting marked a symbolic gesture of the peaceful transfer of power, with both families traveling together to the U.S. Capitol for the inauguration ceremony.

The event was a departure from 2021, when Trump skipped Biden’s swearing-in and flew to Florida instead. This year’s gathering was seen as an effort to restore a sense of tradition and civility, despite the political tensions of the past election.

In a gesture of welcome, Biden greeted Trump with, “Welcome home!” The tea followed the custom of outgoing presidents meeting their successors before the inauguration, a tradition that was not observed in 2021.

The meeting also highlighted the strained relationship between the two families. In 2021, Melania Trump declined Jill Biden’s invitation for a tea,...

Donald Trump has returned to the presidency, delivering a fiery and ambitious inaugural speech as he was sworn in for his second term as the 47th President of the United States. The ceremony, held at the U.S. Capitol on Monday, was marked by standing ovations, chants of “U.S.A.,” and a warm air kiss from his wife, Melania Trump, who once again assumes the role of First Lady.

Donald Trump Declares Divine Purpose In Inaugural Speech: “God Saved Me to Make America Great Again”

The day began with traditional inaugural proceedings, including guest speakers, prayers, musical performances, and the swearing-in ceremony. Once at the podium, Trump wasted no time setting the tone for what he promised would be a “thrilling new era of national success.”

His speech was both a celebration of his return to office and a blueprint for his vision over the next four years. Declaring that his...

Melania Trump’s Inauguration Day ensemble has ignited a lively discussion online, with some critics humorously likening her outfit to that of a well-known fast-food mascot.

On Monday afternoon, as her husband, Donald Trump, prepared to retake the presidency, Melania stepped out in Washington, D.C., wearing a navy trench coat, matching gloves, a white blouse, and a navy wide-brimmed hat featuring a white stripe. While the look was chic and weather-appropriate for the chilly January day, internet users quickly noticed a resemblance to the McDonald’s character, the Hamburglar.

“Is That the Hamburglar?!” Melania Trump’s Inauguration Outfit Unflatteringly Compared To McDonald’s Character

Social media was quick to react, with some jesting that Melania’s outfit channeled the mischievous burger thief. According to online commentators, it was the wide-brimmed hat—eerily similar in shape and size to the Hamburglar’s iconic black hat with a yellow stripe—that cemented the comparison.

What in the world is Melania Trump wearing?

The First Lady arrived at Trump’s second inauguration wearing an outfit that sent social media into a frenzy, with many making comparisons to the character Carmen Sandiego.

Melania wore a dark outfit (watch the inauguration live stream below) with a hat that seemed taken straight from the 1990s video game heroine that promoted both jokes and some curiosity as to why she opted for such a dark vibe to an event that she would presumably consider a happy occasion.

“I vant to look like Carmen Sandiego at funeral,” as one wag put it, mocking Melania’s Slovenian accent.

But pretty much everyone else made the same joke: “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” or “I found Carmen Sandiego!”

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?...

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, as the saying goes. And apparently in the case of the Trumps, they’re laying seeming golden eggs in the form of crypto meme coins before the couple officially return to the White House on Monday. On Sunday, Melania Trump announced that “The Official Melania Meme is live!” via her official X account. “You can buy $Melania now.” It follows her husband and president-elect’s multi-billion-dollar-fetching $Trump token.

Melania’s X post includes a black-and-white photo of the returning...

Amazon Prime Video announced plans to release a documentary about Melania Trump’s life, offering a behind-the-scenes look at her experiences. Prime reportedly paid $40 million for the film.

The film, which began production in December 2024, will be released in theaters and on the streaming platform in the second half of this year. Melania, serving as an executive producer, will have influence over how her story is portrayed.

Amazon described the documentary as a “truly unique story” in a statement, expressing excitement about the project. The film will be directed by Brett Ratner, known for movies like Rush Hour and The Revenant. Ratner has kept a lower profile in recent years following allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.

The documentary follows Melania’s recent openness about her life, including her memoir published last year, which detailed her modeling career, marriage to Donald Trump and tenure as First Lady. The memoir was a No.

The best laid plans for Donald Trump’s inauguration — the pomp and circumstance of the outdoor Capitol swearing-in ceremony followed by a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue — have been stymied by Mother Nature.

With the forecast of Arctic blast moving into Washington on Monday, bringing wind chills in the teens or even lower, Trump said earlier Friday that some of the biggest events will be moved inside.

When Trump and Jd Vance take the Oath of Office, that will be in the Capitol Rotunda, witnessed by a far smaller crowd, perhaps only about 1,000. The parade will be moved to Capital One Arena, about two miles away, and Trump has promised that he will join his supporters there after the Capitol Hill ceremonies.

That said, other indoor events on inauguration weekend will go as planned, with a bevy of parties, balls and cocktail receptions planned for Trump’s ardent supporters and allies,...
