Model, cookbook author, and Lip Sync Battle host Chrissy Teigen was having a ball at the Emmys when she received a terrible tweet.
In case it has never been mentioned, never, ever, ever, ask this question. Not ever. Just don't do it.
Never a shrinking violet, Teigen shot back right away with a message of her own.
Twitter was quick to point out that Teigen looks amazing.
And as for that guy...
It's always best to know when to zippa the lippa.

President Donald Trump was criticized after he pivoted to talk about the new White House ballroom while in the middle of talking about his new war in Iran at a Medal of Honor ceremony.
The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.
Hegseth earlier said the mission is to destroy Iran’s missiles, production capacity, navy and security infrastructure and ensure it never develops nuclear weapons. But what comes after those goals are met remains unclear. Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
All of this is gravely serious—but Trump just couldn't resist mouthing off about his favorite pet project when, seconds before, he'd been discussing how the U.S. plans to "carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the great threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime."
Several months ago, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.
Construction started during last year's government shutdown—at the same time that the Trump administration announced that families would not receive SNAP benefits as scheduled. The administration also refused to release contingency funds that would ensure families that rely on these payments don't go hungry.
Trump said:
“We have a lot of great service members here with us in this beautiful building. Isn’t it beautiful? We are adding on to that building a little bit. We are improving the building."
"See that nice drape? When it comes down, you see a very deep hole. In about a year-and-a-half from now, you’re going to see a very, very beautiful building. There is your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice, I think I’ll save money on the doors. Because you can’t get more beautiful than that."
"I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold! But I think we can save a lot of money. I just saved curtains. It will be spectacular. The most beautiful—I believe because I have built many a ballroom."
"It will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. When you hear all that hammering out there, you will know why the first lady is not thrilled, exactly. She said, will the pile drivers ever stop? They go from 6:00 in the morning until 11:30 in the evening. Can you imagine here?"
"To me, that is a beautiful sound. She doesn’t like it. I love it. To me, other than here, because we are donating it, not a penny to the taxpayer. It will be under budget, ahead of schedule. It will be $400 million or less. Most people say $400 million or more. No, it will be less."
"But, when I hear that sound, that beautiful sound behind me, it means money, so I like it. But my wife isn’t thrilled. She said, “This is getting crazy.” I said, “Don’t worry about it. We will be all finished up in a few months.”
Trump, after going on and on about the ballroom, then decided to return to "the reason that we are gathered this morning, to recognize the unsurpassed courage of three really incredible American heroes, one living and two no longer with us.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
People were not impressed.
Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first time Trump has been distracted by his new ballroom when he should have been focused on something else.
Back in January, he was widely mocked after footage from a meeting at the White House about energy policy showed how he suddenly got up to admire the renovations on his new ballroom through a window.
Trump got up during a meeting with oil industry executives, including leaders from Chevron and Exxon, as part of an effort to secure billions of dollars in new investments in Venezuela’s oil sector. He exclaimed, "Wow! Look at that view," commenting that "this is the door to the ballroom."
He was also caught on camera during that same meeting reading out loud a private note Secretary of State Marco Rubio attempted to pass him directing Trump to speak to Chevron's executives.
The BAFTAs celebration was overshadowed this year by a poor attempt at "inclusivity," which directly impacted the Black community when John Davidson used racial slurs against Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo while they were on stage.
John Davidson, who has Tourette Syndrome, was invited to the event to celebrate the launch of the documentary about his life and condition, I Swear. Tourette's commonly causes people to make involuntary noises and gestures, and those who also have Coprolalia will frequently use profanity and other offensive words.
Tourette's hacks the part of the brain where we file away inappropriate and often "taboo" words, phrases, subjects, and physical gestures. While most of us can stop ourselves from verbalizing certain words, those with Tourette's cannot—not because it's how they really feel, but because of where these words and gestures are filed away in their brains.
So when John Davidson made a series of inappropriate comments throughout the night, most fellow attendees understood that this was involuntary, part of his condition, and not a reflection of his personality or personal beliefs.
However, that does not change how harmful it was for Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo to be called the N-word while up on stage to present an award, in front of a live audience. Jordan and Lindo stood in shock for a moment before continuing with the program.
But the damage was done, and the moment was made worse when the BBC later aired the event with the moment intact. It's important to note that they cut other moments, such as Akinola Davies Jr.'s comments to "Free Palestine" while accepting an award, and some of Davidson's other comments, such as calling Alan Cumming a "pedophile" while he was on stage.
Since the event took place last month, most people have been understanding about Davidson having an involuntary condition and that this is not a reflection of who he is as a person. However, unintentional harm is still harmful, and apologies should have been made, especially to Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who were the most directly impacted by the comments.
On Saturday at the NAACP Awards, Sinners actress Jayme Lawson was asked about the incident and how it was handled.
Though she had nothing negative to say about Davidson, she did have serious questions for the BAFTAs and BBC.
“I’ll first say a big shoutout to Mike and Delroy. Let’s continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team. Everybody who was out there really carried themselves well.”
“The events this weekend exposed a couple things institutionally. We still don’t understand what inclusion means; just because you invite someone into a space, but you don’t provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that’s not inclusivity. That’s exploitation."
"That man’s disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That’s the BAFTAs’ fault.”
“And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless. Like, a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men, and we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, because they censored a bunch of other… They went so far as to make sure certain things weren’t topics of conversation. They censored Akinola’s speech.”
“So, you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah [Beachler]."
"You do not care for our dignity, our humanity. You want to celebrate our art, but you won’t protect [it or us].”

Viewers wholeheartedly agreed with Lawson's comments.
The next day, on Sunday's Actor Awards red carpet, Wunmi Mosaku continued the conversation, agreeing fully with Lawson's observations from the day before.
"I was there, and it was painful to have that celebration really tainted for me, you know?"
"I have no hard feeling toward John Davidson at all; he has a condition. I feel like BAFTA has a lot of lessons to learn.”
“I think Jayme Lawson said it yesterday; it felt exploitative and performative to have someone there without the full protection of everyone, including him, and anyone in that audience, there were children in that audience."
"That’s one thing, and the BBC is a whole other thing. That’s the bit that really kind of kept me awake at night and brought tears to my eyes. I was like: ‘You really chose to keep that in?’ I can’t understand it, and I’m not sure I can forgive it.”
You can listen to Mosaku's statement here:
Viewers similarly agreed with Mosaku's comments.
While the BAFTAs tried to be inclusive, this incident only highlights how much work needs to be done so that everyone feels safe and respected.
Catherine O'Hara was the kind of star that is all too rare these days: one who transcended generations.
She was the lunatic stepmom from Beetlejuice for Gen X'ers, the harried mom from the Home Alone films for Millennials and, for Gen Z, the loopy matriarch of Schitt's Creek.
And of course, she played some of the most hilariously insane characters ever committed to film in her work with filmmaker Christopher Guest.
Perhaps nobody could have captured what was lost when O'Hara passed away January 30 than her fellow Canadian comedian Seth Rogen, whose tribute to her at the Screen Actors Guild Actor Awards left not a single dry eye in the house.
O'Hara, who had been battling cancer, died of a pulmonary embolism at just 71, and her loss has been keenly felt by practically anyone with an appreciation for comedy films and TV.
At the Actor Awards, she was posthumously awarded the Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her work on Apple TV's The Studio as an all-over-the-place Hollywood executive rumored to be based on producer Amy Pascal.
Rogen, the star and creator of the series, accepted the award on O'Hara's behalf, and his speech was the sort of thing that, if you haven't cried over O'Hara's passing yet, well... get your tissues ready.
Following a thunderous standing ovation, Rogen began by describing how warm O'Hara could be while always putting the work first.
"...Something that I’ve just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never ever minimizing her own talents and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing."
“She knew she could destroy, and she wanted to destroy every day on set.”

Rogen went on to describe just how much of a prodigy O'Hara was at her craft.
“Pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show, she would email me and Evan, an email that always was pretty similar, and it said, ‘Hello, I hope you’ll consider the following.’"
"And then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene she was in."
“And literally, 100% of the time, it made not just her character better, but it made the scene better and the entire show better as a whole.”
Rogen summed up O'Hara as an all too rare creature in Hollywood: one who was equal parts warm and one-of-a-kind genius.
“She really showed that you can be a genius and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape, or form.”
On social media, people were deeply moved by Rogen's tribute.
It's believed that O'Hara's health issues coincided directly with the filming of season two of the The Studio, and so she will not appear in the new season.
Nevertheless, she went out on a high note with an iconic performance that capped of a truly game-changing career that will not soon be forgotten.
Actor Dennis Quaid made an appearance at a MAGA rally in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Friday, February 27.
During the event, Quaid told the crowd:
"I love Corpus Christi and I love Donald Trump."
Trump then replied:
"You did a great job, thank you fellas, he's got a new movie coming out by the way."
Quaid, who recently portrayed former Republican President Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic Reagan, traveled to the MAGA rally aboard Air Force One along with Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz.
A photo of Quaid cozying up to the man repeatedly described by his own party as the most hated person in Washington D.C. was shared on Threads by journalist Yashar Ali.
He captioned the photo-op:
"Dennis Quaid is traveling to Texas aboard Air Force One with President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz."
Cruz also shared a video of Quaid sitting next to President Trump on the flight:

The photo prompted many responses, but none more notable than the one by Quaid's onscreen wife from the football-themed film Any Given Sunday.
Actor Lauren Holly, commented:
"At least I got to slap him real hard in Any Given Sunday."
People thought Holly's response was spot on.
Quaid endorsed Trump during the 2024 presidential election. During the campaign, Quaid called Trump his "favorite President of the 21st century."
In February, Quaid also lamented how far left American politics have shifted in recent years, although he wouldn't describe himself as a Republican.
He told Pastor Greg Laurie on The Greg Laurie Show that he's a "common-sense independent," although he skews "more conservative in my head."
In the same interview, he described President Trump as "really genuine" and gushed that he has "a lot of energy."
Five men have been President from January 1, 2000 until today: Democrats Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden and Republicans George W. Bush and Donald Trump.
@kendallybrown, a TikTok user and military wife, went viral after she published a TikTok video in which she let President Donald Trump's supporters know how much she "hates" them after Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning.
Trump said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule."
Kendall posted an expletive-laden rant online condemning the president's supporters for launching the U.S. into another war in the Middle East, a move that places the life of her husband and "soulmate"—an active duty U.S. military member—in danger.
She said:
"If you voted for this, I want you to know that I f**king hate you. I mean that: I f**king hate you and that's not just me speaking out of fear or sadness as the spouse of an active duty service member although I am profoundly sad and incredibly f**king terrified right now."
"But I mean it when I say that if you voted for this s**t, I f**king hate you. And if you know me in real life and you're shocked because you're watching this and you're thinking to yourself, 'Well, I voted for this and I know Kendall and I know that she couldn't possibly hate me! She knows me!'—I want you to know it goes for you too."
"In fact, not only does it go for you too, I hate you twice as much as the strangers who voted for this. And you are f**king delusional if you think you get to look me in my eyes and tell me that you f**king care about me while actively cheering on the man who made it very f**king clear from the very beginning that he would send my husband, my soulmate, to die in a foreign country."
"This is monstrous. Monstrous. They struck a school building. More than 50 little girls are dead this morning because of the man you installed in the most powerful office in the world. That's on you and I don't know how you're going to live with yourself with that knowledge, probably an unhealthy dose of delusional and a lack of empathy for anyone else on this planet."
"But I can say that I don't have to live with you. I don't have to have you in my life. I don't have to have f**king monsters in my life. At this point, if you're still supporting this administration, you're a f**king monster."
She concluded:
"You are a monster, you are irredeemable trash, and I frankly do not care. The one thing I will say: I apologize to my mother for any shocked and upset calls she gets from people in my home town about this video but I'm not f**king sorry for making it because I want you to know."
"I want you to know how deeply my hatred for you runs right now for this s**t. F**k you."
You can hear what she said in the video below.
@kendallybrown I have never been more serious about any video in my life. If you supported this, I *hate* you. He made it very clear what his intentions were all along. You just either didn’t listen….or didn’t care. And for that? I hate you.
Her anger resonated with many.
We're guessing that the news from Iran has tons of people across the country cutting off friends and family members as we speak.
