Trump Was Just Spotted With A Bizarre New Brunette Hair Color—And Here Come The Jokes
The darker hair was on display after Trump touched down in Morristown, New Jersey. AFP photographer Jim Watson took a shot of Trump waving at the press. And there's no doubt that Trump looks quite different.

The jokes started flying immediately.
Trump's new hair color also attracted the attention of late night host Jimmy Fallon, who rather infamously ruffled Trump’s hair during an interview at the height of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, Fallon referenced one of Trump's recent beautification disasters in Washington, D.C., when he said that Trump's hair "is what happens when you hire the Reflecting Pool people to dye your hair.”
He then introduced a parody commercial for a fictional hair-coloring product called “Just For Men: Touch Of Cray.” The mock advertisement promised that after using the product for just one week, customers would not only have “new hair” but would also apparently begin behaving like Trump.
According to the spoof commercial, the supposed effects include renaming states, flirting with an assistant, kidnapping world leaders and invading Canada—all of which are hitting pretty close to home right now.
The ad also joked that users would put their likeness on every coin and stage a fistfight on their front lawn. It concluded with another jab at Trump’s social media presence, promising that customers would start posting AI-generated videos of themselves dancing with Abraham Lincoln.

Robert Pattinson Reacts To 'To Catch A Predator' Star Chris Hansen's Criticism Of His Portrayal In New Film
“Obviously, I hope he likes the movie. You know, I never really set out to make a movie about Chris Hansen; I never really thought about it…”
Pattinson may not have set out to play Hansen directly, but the parallels are certainly there. In Primetime, the actor plays a fictionalized version of Hansen, now 66, during the To Catch a Predator era. The Dateline NBC segment ran from 2004 to 2007 and became known for its hidden-camera stings targeting men who believed they were meeting minors online.
Still, Pattinson revealed what ultimately drew him to the project:
“And then I read the script, and there’s something electrifying about it.”
The film is also partially based on a 2007 Esquire article, Tonight on Dateline: This Man Will Die, and dramatizes events surrounding the program.
Pattinson’s involvement actually began behind the camera. After responding to the first draft, he came aboard as a producer before he and the filmmakers brought on Lance Oppenheim to direct. Oppenheim’s style proved a natural match for the unusual story, and by the second draft, Pattinson was sold.
Pattinson shared what he hopes Hansen takes away from that inspiration:
“I would hope in some ways, the amount of inspiration that his character has given so many people who are involved in this film for years now, I hope it’s some kind of compliment.”
Hansen wasn’t a background player in the To Catch a Predator phenomenon. Once suspects arrived at the sting house, Hansen would appear for the confrontation. Questions like “Why don’t you have a seat right over there?” and “What were you hoping to do here tonight?” became an unforgettable part of the formula and helped cement his place in pop culture.
Revisiting the show years later also gave Pattinson a new appreciation for what made it all work:
“I watched the show when I was younger, and I didn’t even think about it. And when you obsessively watch it, you realize there’s a strange alchemy with what’s going on: the aesthetics of the show, and how it was directed, and how things are put together, and the time period.”
That “strange alchemy,” coupled with Hansen’s commanding screen presence, ultimately inspired Oppenheim’s film.
See what Pattinson had to say below:
Pattinson isn’t the only familiar face stepping into Primetime. The film also stars Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Matthew Maher, Bokeem Woodbine, and Anna Faris.
Audiences won’t have to wait much longer to see how it all plays out. Primetime hits theaters on September 25, but Pattinson’s response to Hansen is already giving social media plenty to talk about.
Here’s how the conversation unfolded online:

Hansen, however, hasn’t exactly shared Pattinson’s enthusiasm. Though he has yet to see Primetime, he has repeatedly voiced frustration over his name being used in the dramatized retelling. He has also complained that he was not consulted on the movie and questioned Hollywood’s “intentions” behind bringing the story to the big screen.
As it turns out, Hansen once had his own ideas about taking his story to Hollywood:
“I had discussions years ago about—I had crafted a script, and I thought Denis Leary would be a good guy to play me, depending on the age of it all.”
You see how this looks, right? So much for Team Edward—Hansen was apparently Team Denis all along.
Pattinson may not have been his original casting choice, but Hansen hasn’t completely dismissed the actor’s take. After catching glimpses of the performance in Primetime trailers and marketing, he called Pattinson’s portrayal a “pretty good imitation”—though he found it a bit “overly dramatic.”
Perhaps Pattinson’s hope isn’t entirely lost. Hansen still has his reservations, but “pretty good imitation” sounds a lot closer to a compliment than a takedown.
Podcaster Apologizes After 'Insensitive' Post About Betting On Lindsay Clancy Trial Sparks Backlash
After the judge declared a mistrial Friday, Hirsch shared the news in a since-deleted post:
“On Polymarket, it was predicted the verdict would be Not Guilty. Are you surprised? #Polymarketpartner.”
See what appeared below:
And deleting the reel did little to contain the fallout.
Screenshots continued circulating after it disappeared from Hirsch’s page, and when she returned to her Instagram Stories with her usual content Saturday, followers weren’t ready to move on.
One commenter called out Hirsch and Dear Media over the controversial ad:
“@dearmediastudio @notskinnybutnotfat partnering with Polymarket to bet on the outcome of the Lindsay Clancy trial is the most insane sh*t I’ve ever seen in the world of sponsored content. Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves.”
The uproar tapped into an uncomfortable reality that has followed the Clancy case beyond the courtroom: its transformation into online content. TikTok and X have become hubs for dissecting courtroom developments and the Clancy family itself, blurring the line between following a high-profile trial and consuming tragedy as entertainment.
Patrick Clancy, Clancy’s ex-husband, has also been swept into the speculation, becoming the subject of unfounded conspiracy theories attempting to implicate him in the killings or accuse him of a cover-up.
By Sunday, Hirsch changed course and apologized on Instagram:
“Posting about the Lindsay Clancy trial in the same breath as a brand partnership was completely insensitive, wrong, and out of character for me - I should have known better, and I feel sick that I didn’t see that in the moment…”
The misstep comes as the growing world of prediction markets continues to court controversy. This spring, Variety reported that Polymarket and Kalshi spoiled the winner of Survivor Season 50, prompting host and showrunner Jeff Probst to slam the companies.
Hirsch also acknowledged that her fascination with the Clancy trial made her lose sight of its gravity:
“I became so consumed by the trial that I completely lost perspective and didn’t stop to think about how grossly inappropriate it was to discuss something this tragic in that context…”
Hirsch eventually turned off comments on the apology, but the conversation simply moved elsewhere. With comments still open across her Instagram account, followers aired their frustration on other posts.
Read Hirsch’s apology in full below:
The Clancy case had divided public opinion long before Hirsch entered the conversation. As the BBC reported, some viewed it through the lens of severe postpartum illness, while others felt sympathy surrounding Clancy overshadowed the three children who lost their lives.
That divide carried into the response to Hirsch’s apology, where social media users had plenty to say:

Hirsch’s interest in the trial also predates her Polymarket partnership. On August 21, she shared an Instagram video discussing the nationally watched case.
Hirsch used the caption to call for greater support for mothers:
“Whatever you believe about this case, I hope it forces a much bigger conversation about how we care for mothers before and after they give birth. Because we have to do better.”
In hindsight, the sentiment makes what followed all the more side-eye-worthy.
You can view Hirsch’s earlier post here:
The case now heads toward a September 29 status conference, when prosecutors from the Plymouth District Attorney’s Office are expected to announce how they intend to proceed. Clancy will remain confined to a state psychiatric hospital under continuous medical care while the case remains unresolved.
The Clancy trial may have become internet fodder, but the reaction to Hirsch’s post underscored the line many weren’t willing to cross: turning a family tragedy into a betting opportunity.
