Pete Hegseth Is Getting Roasted Over His Hilariously Awkward Attempt To Do A Grapevine Workout With Navy Sailors
Jun 02, 2026
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was dragged hard on social media after video footage of his attempt at doing a grapevine workout with U.S. Navy soldiers in Singapore went viral online.
Hegseth was in Singapore to attend the Shangri-La Dialogue, a top regional defense forum. While there, he insisted the American military is not "turning our backs" on Asia while fulfilling "global obligations" such as the Iran war.
And when not reassuring Asian allies—while taking the opportunity to criticize New Zealand and repeat the Trump administration's grievances with European NATO allies—he took the time to do drills with the crew of the USS Boxer.
And at one point, Hegseth—who wore a "THIS IS WAR" T-shirt throughout the exercises—did a grapevine workout... or tried to, in any event.
For those who don't know, a grapevine workout is a coordination drill where you have to move sideways, crossing one foot alternatively in front of and behind the other.
The footage shows Hegseth didn't exactly do the best job at it.
You can watch what he did in the video below.
The mockery was swift.
A longer video showing more of the workout he participated also didn't fare well online.
It's funny to see Hegseth do so badly at this considering he thinks he's such a hot shot with the military at his disposal—he previously, in reference to the Iran war, said that "the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re going to live.”
He also previously said his move to refer to the Department of Defense as the "Department of War" is important because the country has lost its "warrior ethos" and that the country's founders "wanted an empowered military—the handcuffs were taken off—to fight to win, and then bring those troops home."
Despite criticism of his own physical condition, Hegseth has encouraged service members to watch or read a speech he delivered last month at Quantico, Virginia, in which he declared the end of what he called a “woke” military, criticized “fat generals,” and said female troops should be held to the same physical fitness standards as men.

Jon Ossoff Perfectly Explains Why Trump Wants To Build His Ballroom And Put His Face On Money—And Yep, That Tracks
Jun 02, 2026
Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff called out President Donald Trump at a rally in Atlanta on Sunday, saying Trump's plans to build a ballroom at the White House and his push to put his face on $250 bills say a lot about why he is "a failed president."
Last year, 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 the recent 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.
But the ballroom plans are just one of many vanity projects for a president who is notorious for wanting to put his name and face on things.
Last week, it emerged that Trump approved a proposed design featuring his portrait on a new $250 bill bearing his signature, despite longstanding federal law barring living people from appearing on U.S. currency.
Ossoff, reacting to all this news, said the following at an Atlanta rally where he appeared alongside Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms:
"He’s trying to put his face on the money. Did you see that? He's building a monument to himself. But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone..."
Audience members applauded enthusiastically, to which Ossoff added:
"...because he's a failed president and a national disgrace."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
People agreed Ossoff had hit the bullseye with his observation.
Ossoff and Bottoms appeared together at what advisers said would be the first of a series of joint campaign events aimed at presenting a united Democratic ticket.
Standing behind a podium emblazoned with the slogan “United for Georgia,” the two emphasized party unity ahead of a high-stakes election cycle. Ossoff faces a difficult reelection race in a state won by Trump in 2024, making his seat central to Democrats’ hopes of regaining Senate control, while Bottoms is seeking to become Georgia’s first Democratic governor elected since 1998.

Lisa Kudrow Reveals She Was Once Mistaken For Dionne Warwick—And Warwick's Reaction Is Hilariously Priceless
Jun 01, 2026
Celebrity mix-ups are practically their own meme at this point, but Lisa Kudrow being mistaken for Dionne Warwick probably wasn't on anyone's 2026 bingo card. It all unfolded during a recent Hollywood Reporter Comedy Actress Roundtable featuring Ashley Padilla, Hannah Einbinder, Keke Palmer, Quinta Brunson, Rachel Sennott, and Kudrow herself.
The actresses were asked about the strangest fan interactions they'd ever experienced, and Kudrow's answer quickly stole the conversation.
Recalling an encounter from the height of Friends' popularity, Kudrow shared:
“It was during 'Friends,' and I was going to Jerry’s Deli or something. And the hostess goes, ‘Oh! OK. I’ll show you to your table.’ And I went, ‘Aw, she’s seen Friends — that’s cute.'”
At first, Kudrow assumed the hostess had recognized her from the hit NBC sitcom. But the interaction was about to take a turn nobody could have predicted.
Somehow, the hostess seemed to connect Kudrow to Warwick's 1985 hit That's What Friends Are For rather than the sitcom Friends itself—a leap in logic that remains difficult to diagram.
She revealed the most random conclusion the hostess reached:
“She took me to the table, and she had an accent—she was from somewhere in Eastern Europe—and just went, ‘Uh, I know who you are…’ She said, ‘You are Dionne Warwick.’ And I just went, ‘No, I’m not!'”
The comparison left everyone at the table scratching their heads. Warwick, 85, is a Black music legend who has never appeared on Friends and is more than two decades older than Kudrow.
The closest pop-culture connection between the pair may be Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, where Kudrow played Kimmy's mother before Maya Rudolph later popped up as Warwick—hardly enough to justify the hostess's conclusion.
Still laughing at the encounter years later, Kudrow continued:
“Then it was, ‘Wait, Dionne Warwick? Why would you think I’m Dionne Warwick?' I just went, ‘She’s a legend. She’s a legendary singer.’ And she just went, ‘Oh, OK.’ I just thought it was the funniest thing ever.”

- YouTube E! News
But the story somehow became even better when the Queen of Twitter herself entered the chat. And yes, that's Twitter—not X—as Warwick has famously continued referring to the platform by its original name.
Warwick gave her take on the posted “twote” for the story:
It looks like you may have chosen two photos of me for your twote @PopBase https://t.co/WkIdBnImq1
— Dionne Warwick (@dionnewarwick) May 29, 2026
It looks like the hilarious mix-up is Warwick-approved.
As it turns out, Warwick has found herself on the other side of a celebrity mix-up before. During the 2022 U.S. Open, commentators mistook the singer for fellow music legend Gladys Knight while she was attending the tournament.
Kudrow has not publicly responded to Warwick's post, but fans quickly flooded the replies with their own reactions.
You can view the comments below:
The roundtable panel was equally amused as the story unfolded. As Kudrow worked through the logic—or lack thereof—behind the mistaken identity, the table erupted in laughter.
Palmer couldn't resist adding her own spin to the conversation:
“Girl, if you’re Dionne Warwick, I’m Stevie Nicks.”
Brunson then shared that celebrity mix-ups happen more often than people might expect. She joked that fans frequently mistake her for Palmer, while recalling a story about Niecy Nash being asked which Abbott Elementary cast member she was while signing autographs outside Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Quinta Brunson offered her own Barbara Howard-approved analysis, calling it “just face blindness. American face blindness.”
The discussion also touched on navigating fame, social media, and public scrutiny. Kudrow revealed she stopped reading online comments during the run of Friends, while Padilla reflected on viral sketches and Einbinder discussed using stand-up comedy to help build confidence.
Kudrow most recently starred as Valerie Cherish in the third and final season of HBO's The Comeback, which concluded in May 2026. She is also set to reunite with longtime Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston for The Hollywood Reporter's "Actors on Actors," premiering Wednesday.
The full roundtable is available to watch below:

The hostess's reasoning may remain one of Hollywood's great unsolved mysteries, but at least it gave the internet a Lisa Kudrow-Dionne Warwick crossover nobody knew it needed.

Jamie Lee Curtis Pens Poignant Tribute To Her Sister And 'First Friend' After Her Death At 69
Jun 01, 2026
It's said that our first friends, and among our most treasured, are often our siblings or cousins. This was certainly true for Jamie Lee Curtis and her big sister, Kelly.
Kelly Lee Curtis, best known for Magic Sticks and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, passed away last weekend, surrounded by the things and people that she loved.
To honor her "first friend and lifelong confidant," Jamie Lee Curtis penned an incredibly touching tribute to her sister, celebrating her wide range of interests, talents, and loving nature.
Paired with a photograph of Kelly getting her hair done with a full face of makeup and a cigarette hanging from her lips, Curtis's older sister exuded humor, beauty, and grace.
Curtis wrote in the caption:
"A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis."
"She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace."
"She was my first friend and lifelong confidant."
"She was jaw-droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress."
"She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go."
"She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot."
"She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie."
"Kelly always signed off any message or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing... 'Isten Veled,' or 'God is with you.'"
"Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I'll see you on down the line."
You can see the post here:
Fans were touched and heartbroken by the tribute.










It's never easy when we lose people who have meaningfully touched our lives, but there's nothing quite like saying goodbye to immediate family members and lifelong friends, those people who knew us the longest, helped shape us, and loved us at our weirdest and worst.
But the best thing we can do is follow Curtis's example and share them with others, so they, too, can carry on their memory.

Tina Fey Just Hilariously Cleared The Air After Timothée Chalamet 'Manspreading' Next To Her At Knicks Game Went Viral
Jun 01, 2026
What started as a viral photo from a Knicks game quickly became one of the internet's favorite celebrity storylines. Now, Tina Fey is clearing the air about the alleged "manspreading beef" with Timothée Chalamet while sharing what the Oscar nominee and Kylie Jenner were actually like off-camera.
For those who don't recall, Chalamet found himself at the center of countless memes after social media users accused him of "manspreading" next to Fey during a Knicks game in April. The photo that launched a thousand jokes showed Fey seated beside Chalamet, with the actor positioned between the comedian and Jenner while sporting a Knicks cap and a notably wide stance.
The reactions to the picture were pretty funny, but some people online seemed genuinely outraged:

Appearing on the May 27 episode of the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, the Saturday Night Live alum was asked about the alleged "manspreading beef."
Fey immediately made it clear there was no bad blood between her and the Dune actor:
"I should start by saying that Timothée Chalamet was nothing but lovely. Super friendly. Kylie was friendly and delightful…”
The celebrity pair have been dating since 2023.
And considering Chalamet has become a familiar face at Saturday Night Live in recent years, Fey was already well acquainted with the actor before their now-infamous Knicks outing.
Fey recalled that the group spent the night laughing together:
"We had a great time. He was joking around with Tracy."
As for the criticism aimed at Chalamet, Fey reassured listeners that she wasn't offended or annoyed, despite how cramped she may have looked in the photos.
She offered some hilarious context for the viral image:
"It wasn't until the next day that I saw all these manspreading things. But I will say, you've got to remember, so for every amount that he's sitting like this and manspreading, I'm doing the opposite.”
Fey also revealed that it was a surprise to find herself seated next to Chalamet and Jenner. The actor attended the game as a guest of Tracy Morgan, and according to Fey, much of the evening was spent joking around with the comedian and longtime Knicks superfan.
According to Fey, the seating dynamics weren't entirely Chalamet's fault:
“My big old can was takin’ the back.”
You can view her take on the hilarious meme here:
Fey also reflected on her growing reputation as a Knicks fan thanks to Morgan. After several trips to Madison Square Garden with one of the franchise's most devoted celebrity supporters, she's apparently become an honorary member of the fan base herself.
She shared her take on the infamous courtside celebrity row:
"I've been three times now with Tracy, so the internet classifies me as a Knicks fan, I'll take it. It's really fun. That celebrity row is bananas. I'm, like, hugging Spike Lee before the game."
The Knicks ultimately beat the Atlanta Hawks, helping keep the mood light throughout the evening.
Fey summed up the experience with a simple verdict:
“It was all good, and the Knicks won, so everybody was happy.”
While Chalamet hasn't publicly commented on the viral "manspreading" discourse, Fey's account suggests the internet may have been far more invested in the controversy than anyone actually sitting nearby. After all, sometimes a celebrity feud is just a Knicks game and an unfortunate camera angle.
Fey may have settled the debate, but that didn't stop social media users from weighing in on her explanation:

Chalamet, meanwhile, has remained a fixture at Madison Square Garden throughout New York's playoff run. The Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals victory sent the franchise to its first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, setting up a rematch with the San Antonio Spurs more than two decades later.
With Game 1 scheduled for Wednesday, expect Chalamet to be right back in celebrity row. Whether social media pays more attention to the Finals or his seating posture remains to be seen.
