Donald Trump made a not-so-presidential remark to Kennedy Center leadership during a dinner event at the White House on Monday. “They rigged the election. And then I said, you know what I’ll do? I’ll run again and I’ll shove it up their a--,” he told attendees, reiterating his infamous lie that opponents rigged the 2020 election he lost. “And that’s what I did.” The comment prompted laughter and applause. The president hosted the board of the Kennedy Center in the State Dining Room at the White House after ousting most of its previous members in February, installing MAGA acolytes and naming himself chairman. The national performing arts institution, which receives federal funding and is governed by a presidentially appointed board, has been one of Trump’s targets in his broader overhaul of government institutions. He claimed to guests Monday that “we’re gonna bring this place back.” His communications director, Steven Cheung, reposted a clip of the “a--” comment from his official White House X account.

Rap pioneers Salt-N-Pepa are taking their record label to court. Cheryl ‘Salt’ James and Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York on Monday against Universal Music Group, who own the rights to their global hits including “Push It,” “Shoop” and “Let’s Talk About Sex.” They are the latest musical acts to try and reclaim the lucrative rights to their own music, often signed away in lengthy deals at the start of their career. The rappers claim the record label are violating copyright law by refusing them the rights to their master recordings. The copyright act of 1976 says artists can reclaim ownership of their recordings after several decades. After their first hit, “Push It” in 1987, they have gone on to sell over 15 million albums and will receive the Musical Influence Award at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in November this year. Universal Music Group have pulled the duo’s music from streaming sites while the case plays out. Salt-N-Pepa are seeking damages which may “well exceed $1 million.” AP news notes UMG representatives did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Film director Wes Anderson has mocked Donald Trump’s tariff plan designed to save the American movie industry. While promoting his new movie, The Phoenician Scheme, in Cannes, Anderson questioned Trump’s vision, as reported by Variety. The film was partly shot in Germany; earlier this month Trump stated he would put a 100% tariff on movies “produced in foreign lands” after claiming the “Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death.” Trump said countries who offered tax breaks to entice American film production was a “concerted effort” to undermine Hollywood and described it as a “national security threat”. Anderson, who directed The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums called out Trump’s mathematics. “I’ve never heard of a 100% tariff before. I’m not an expert in that area of economics, but I feel that means he’s saying he’s going to take all the money. And then what do we, what do we get? So it’s complicated to me. Can you hold up the movie in customs? It doesn’t ship that way.” The Phoenician Scheme, starring Benicio del Toro, is about a European magnate who is the subject of repeated assassination attempts.

A missing statue of late rock icon Jim Morrison has been found—by accident—37 years after it was stolen from his cemetery plot in Paris. The sculpture of the head of the Doors’ frontman was unearthed by police in Paris while investigating an unrelated fraud case. The white marble bus, by Croatian artist Mladen Mikulin was initially installed in 1981 to mark the tenth anniversary of Morrison’s death at 27. New photos of the missing sculpture showed that no damage occurred during the lost years, aside from some graffiti and a damaged nose—which happened before it disappeared from the popular grave at the Père Lachaise cemetery. Doors fans still regularly leave notes, flowers and candles at the site. It remains unclear if the unearthed statue will finally be returned. Morrison’s grave has been under video surveillance since the 1988 theft. Fan theories suggest the 300-pound statue was strapped to the back of a moped and stolen in darkness. In 1994 two Americans were arrested while trying to place a replica bronze version of the bust at the grave site.

Rep. Warren Davidson didn’t linger long on condolences before veering onto right-wing talking points spouted by conservatives including Alex Jones about Joe Biden’s cancer news. The Ohio Republican told Fox Business on Monday morning that the former president’s diagnosis was “brutal” and “I feel terrible for anybody that would go through that,” adding, “I hope he beats it.” In the next breath, he said he doubted that Biden only just received the diagnosis on Friday. “The whole thing was a big cover-up,” he said, questioning the timing of the announcement amid this week’s release of recordings from the former president‘s stumbling 2023 interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur. “I suspect that the cancer diagnosis was part of the whole scheme,” Davidson added. Biden’s team announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed last week with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Davidson was among a chorus of Republicans to frame it as part of a “cover-up.” The news comes as questions swirl amid the release of a new book, Original Sin, that claims Biden’s inner circle helped obscure the extent of his physical deterioration towards the end of his presidency.

Kerry Kennedy, sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, has celebrated a legal victory against Elon Musk’s DOGE. In March, The United States Institute of Peace (USIP)–of which Kerry is on the board–had their staff fired after the DOGE team declared the agency “unnecessary” and forcibly installed themselves at their Washington headquarters. However, U.S. district court judge Beryl Howell ruled the former USIP board and staff had to be reinstalled, Wired reported Monday. Howell lashed out at defendants in the case, who included DOGE, President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, noting “The purported removal of members of the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) … was unlawful, and therefore null, void, and without legal effect.” The ruling also said DOGE would be blocked from “maintaining, retaining, gaining, or exercising any access or control over the Institute’s offices, facilities, computer systems, or any other records, files, or resources.” The defendants have 30 days to file a notice of appeal. The USIP offices have been estimated to be worth over $500 million. Court rulings claimed that DOGE representatives–with FBI agents–attempted to enter the USIP building but were turned away. Wired reports the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

My 600-lb Life star Latonya Pottain, 40, passed away from natural causes Saturday. The reality TV star who appeared on the 11th season of the TLC show died at the CHRISTUS Highland Medical Center in Shreveport, LA. The Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office told TMZ that a preliminary autopsy revealed that Pottain died from congestive heart failure. Pottain began a GoFundMe in February asking for support during “the most challenging time of my life,” revealing that the severe backlash she received after the show caused her to fall into “a deep depression” and become immobile in June of last year. “Now, I am completely bedridden and unable to get to the hospital because EMTs say transporting me would be a fire hazard due to my weight,” she said on the GoFundMe page, requesting financial help with medical treatment, transportation, and living expenses. Pottain’s brother told TMZ that he and several other family members visited the star’s home Saturday and noticed she had trouble breathing. She later underwent cardiac arrest and was brought to the hospital, where she then passed away. The New York Post reported that there was no need for an autopsy because Pottain died from natural causes, the coroner telling the outlet that her body was already sent to a funeral home.

Tom Cruise may be done with Mission: Impossible, but he is not finished being an action star. The 62-year-old actor says he plans to keep making movies until he’s 100. “I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films—I’m excited,” Cruise told The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of the eighth and final installment of his biggest franchise. Cruise previously said he planned to take a page out of Harrison Ford’s book and keep making action movies into his 80s. “Actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s,” he says now. Cruise, who many fans had predicted would die trying to pull off the increasingly dangerous stunts for the Mission movies, has managed to emerge from the series unscathed. And he is insisting that Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning, which premieres in theaters Memorial Day weekend, really is his last time playing Ethan Hunt. “It’s the final!” he exclaimed. “It’s not called ‘final’ for nothing.”

Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport was hit by another security scare when an air traffic controller spotted a DoorDash delivery driver driving around restricted zones. The driver said it was an innocent mistake, and police opted against filing charges, but the fact that he drove for miles around interior and restricted roads without being spotted on Saturday raises security concerns. “This could have been really, really bad,” former air traffic controller Robert Mark told CBS News. Police said the 36-year-old “accidentally drove into an unauthorized secured area within O’Hare Airport.” DoorDash said they’re looking into the circumstances. “Imagine if this had been at night in the darkness, I mean, where no one noticed this person,” Mark, now working as a business jet pilot, added. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile alerts to hit Chicago airports over the past six months. In late February, a Southwest Airlines pilot had to abort a landing at Midway International Airport after a business jet began to taxi across the runway. At O’Hare, a passenger was ejected from a United Airlines flight for carrying a concealed firearm in April. On Christmas Eve last year, a stowaway was found dead in the wheel well of a Hawaii-bound United plane.

Meghan Markle is celebrating her seventh wedding anniversary with Prince Harry by sharing a host of previously unseen photos. In a handmade collage chronicling the couple’s romance, Meghan, 43, shared snaps of the pair traveling around the world, love notes from her to Harry, 40, and pictures of their two children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4. While a few of the shots appeared to be previously shared professional photoshoots, most were more intimate. One photo showed Harry holding a newborn Archie, another showed Archie and Lilibet embracing under a Christmas tree, and a third depicted Harry and Meghan enjoying a backyard tea party with both children. While they’ve been a media fixture since their relationship began in 2016, the couple has gotten significantly more comfortable sharing personal moments since leaving the royal family in 2020. They’ve since appeared in a now-iconic sit-down interview with Oprah in 2021, in the docuseries Harry & Meghan in 2022, and most recently in Meghan’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan in 2025. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that several photos in Meghan’s collage appeared to show the couple at Holkham Bay, a favorite vacation spot of Harry’s now-estranged brother Prince William that served as the backdrop for Kate Middleton’s 2024 cancer announcement.
