'The Pitt' Star Opens Up About Being Told She's A 'Terrible Singer'—And Alanis Morissette Weighed In With The Perfect Tweet
Already renewed for season three, The Pitt has become a popular series about the struggles faced by public healthcare workers, this crew specifically in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In a hilarious turn of events at the end of season two, actors Taylor Dearden (Dr. Melissa 'Mel' King on the show) and Isa Briones (Dr. Santos on the show) decided to blow off some steam by performing an unhinged, "scream therapy" edition of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" while most of their coworkers watched.
Dearden, 38, previously opened up about the fact that she didn't know the karaoke scene was going to happen or how the cast was going to relieve the tension of the stressful shift in the season two finale.
Fortunately, Dearden and Briones had a great time performing the scene, which only took two takes to get right.
However, the Pitt viewers were not as sold by the karaoke scene, criticizing Dearden for her inability to sing.
While on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the pair chatted about the scene.
Fallon pointed out, while showing a photo from the scene:
"There's one scene, in particular, from last week's finale that everyone was talking about."
"You doing karaoke, that was fantastic! Dr. King and Dr. Trinity Santos!"
"You were singing Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know,' and you crushed it!"
Dearden reflected on what it was like to sing in front of everyone:
"I'm afraid to sing! I wouldn't go to karaoke in real life."
"But I feel like there's something that is different when it's, like, a character, because then it's really not me."
"I've been told I was a terrible singer for a lot of my life!"
Fortunately for Dearden, Alanis Morissette herself gave Dearden and Briones a thumbs-up on their performance.
When Dearden said that she'd been told she was a bad singer for most of her life, Morissette reassured her:
"I was told I couldn't sing either!"
Fans were supportive of the karaoke scene and the fact that Morissette endorsed it.
Fans couldn't believe that Alanis Morissette was ever told she couldn't sing, but they were grateful that she continued so the '90s would be filled with her most impassioned songs, now being used in movies and TV shows.
Fortunately, Taylor Dearden didn't listen, either, and took advantage of having a role to play to explore something that she'd never felt comfortable with because of the comments she'd received.
Sometimes you just have to ignore the haters, and have a good time!

Video Of LeBron James Covering Himself With A Towel Before Hugging His Daughter After Game Has Fans Melting
Fans are swooning over a sweet moment between LA Lakers star LeBron James and his 11-year-old daughter Zhuri.
James had a lot to celebrate after a recent playoff game against the Houston Rockets in which he led his team to a 107-98 triumph
And as he came off the court, Zhuri was right there waiting to congratulate him. But there was just one problem: James was a sweaty post-game mess!
He wasn't about to let that deter him though. Instead, he wrapped himself in a towel to shield Zhuri, and wrapped her up in a big celebratory hug.
Fans immediately swooned at the sweet video, remarking on how protective James seems of his daughter and how neither of them were willing to let a bit of sweat keep them from their sweet, connective moment.
And many felt it gave insight into what their relationship might be like.
One person theorized that Zhuri has her dad so wound around her finger that she is "the only one who can check" the basketball legend.
Others joked that the video might highlight a certain sibling rivalry and parental favoritism between Zhuri and James' 18-year-old son Bryce. (James and wife Savannah also have a 21-year-old son, Bronny.)
Whatever the dynamics might be, fans were deeply touched by James and Zhuri's sweet moment.
James and his kids certainly have plenty reason to celebrate lately.
James, who at 41 is definitely on the older side for an NBA player, hasn't lost any of his GOAT energy, and it showed perhaps most obviously during the Lakers' first-round playoff series against Houston.
Just before the series began, the Lakers' biggest scorers, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, were sidelined due to injuries, leaving many to assume that the series would be something of a bloodbath.
Instead, James has led the Lakers to a 2–0 victory streak against Houston so far, with a 107–98 final score in Game 1 and a 101–94 victory in Game 2.
The two teams next face off tonight, with four more first-round playoff games taking place April 26, April 29, May 1 and May 3.
Gavin Newsom Perfectly Trolls Laura Ingraham After She Warns That Virginia Is 'The New California'
After Virginia voted to approve a redistricting plan that benefits Democrats, Gavin Newsom mocked Fox News personality Laura Ingraham for calling the state "the new California" in remarks on X.
The new lines would shift Virginia's congressional balance from a current 6–5 Democratic edge to a projected 10–1 advantage, with only one Republican-leaning district in the conservative southwest.
With Democrats already favored to take control of the House in November, the outcome in Virginia strengthens their position and could encourage the party to pursue more aggressive redistricting efforts in other, traditionally Republican-leaning areas.
In response to this news, Ingraham tweeted:
"Adiós, Virginia. The new California."
You can see her post below.
Ingraham's post referred to Proposition 50, which allows Democrats to draw a new redistricting map in California in response to the GOP's gerrymandering efforts in North Carolina and Texas, where lawmakers redrew congressional maps to benefit Republicans. Those moves helped bolster the party’s razor-thin majority in the House.
Newsom had framed his redistricting plan as an emergency response to the Texas plan that President Donald Trump championed. Trump supports that plan because he “got the highest vote in the history of Texas” and is therefore “entitled to five more seats.”
Newsom mocked Ingraham with the following response:
"Oh no — next comes free preschool, free school meals, higher wages, and tuition-free community college. Truly terrifying stuff."
You can see his post below.
Others joined him in mocking Ingraham.
Voters in Virginia had previously backed a nonpartisan redistricting commission that produced the current map in 2020, but the new referendum effectively sidelines that body until 2030.
The broader balance could hinge on developments in Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to call a special session to redraw districts.
As it stands, Democrats may gain the upper hand in the redistricting fight, with projections suggesting they could pick up as many as 10 seats, compared to a potential maximum of eight for Republicans.
AOC Expertly Mocks Republicans Who Are Crying Foul Over Virginia's Redistricting Vote: 'Wah, Wah, Wah'
New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked Republicans who are complaining about their Virginia redistricting loss, explaining to reporters why they're so preoccupied about the possibility of Democrats picking up additional seats in the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections.
The new lines would shift the state’s congressional balance from a current 6–5 Democratic edge to a projected 10–1 advantage, with only one Republican-leaning district in the conservative southwest.
With Democrats already favored to take control of the House in November, the outcome in Virginia strengthens their position and could encourage the party to pursue more aggressive redistricting efforts in other, traditionally Republican-leaning areas.
When journalist Matt Laslo, founder of the Laslo Congressional Bureau outlet, asked her to comment, Ocasio-Cortez did not hold back:
"Wah, wah, wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set."
"And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas."
"What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day."
"And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people."
"So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves."
You can hear what she said in the video below.
Many concurred with her remarks.
President Donald Trump said the Virginia vote, approved by the public, was “rigged.”
Without citing any evidence, Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that "the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory!" He questioned the will of the people, saying “As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!" He urged federal courts to "fix this travesty of 'Justice.'"
Trump has previously backed successful GOP-led redistricting efforts in North Carolina and Texas, where lawmakers redrew congressional maps to benefit Republicans. Those moves helped bolster the party’s razor-thin majority in the House.
California Governor Gavin Newsom—a top Trump critic—later mocked MAGA Republicans after his state, despite GOP pushback, passed Proposition 50, which allows Democrats to draw a new redistricting map in California in response to the GOP's gerrymandering efforts.
Newsom had framed his redistricting plan as an emergency response to the Texas plan that Trump championed. Trump supports that plan because he “got the highest vote in the history of Texas” and is therefore “entitled to five more seats.”
A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny
In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.
In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.
When seeing the crumbled pieces of the "fake egg," most kids have looked on in amazement. Taking advantage of their excitement, the person performing the prank will then offer them a "fake egg" of their own.
But the important difference is that, instead of telling the kid to crush the egg in their hand like they just did, they'll tell the kid to go to one of their parents and perform the trick for their parent by throwing the "fake egg" on the ground, promising that there will be little pieces of shell left on the floor, and their parent will be amazed!
However, the egg that the kid receives is not a "fake egg" or a drained egg at all; it's a regular egg that, when thrown to the floor, splatters with eggshell and yolk all over.
In one viral example, an older brother tricks his younger sister by telling her to go into their mother's bedroom to throw the egg on the floor.
Fortunately, the shocked little girl immediately told their mother the truth, and clearly having witnessed a prank or some shenanigans before, the mother believed her and told the older brother to clean it up.

In a compilation video of the "fake egg" prank, kids' reactions ranged from laughing in shock, being angry with their siblings for setting them up, and sobbing uncontrollably after finding themselves in trouble.

Like other trending TikTok pranks, this trend prompted fellow TikTokers to question whether or not pranks like this are funny—but in this particular case, they're concerned about the potential trust issues this could cause.












We've all heard the advice to "not cry over spilled milk," and "to make an omelette, you have to break a couple of eggs."
But clearly, if you want to create trust issues in children, it might only take one broken egg for them, as well.
