UPDATE: Fab Morvan, Original Member of Milli Vanilli, Says He Will Not Participate in Trump Great American State Fair: “I’m not a pawn”

Donald Trump is hard up for musical acts.

You know things are bad when Milli Vanilli turns you down not once, but twice.

Initially, another group using the name of the disgraced 80s pop group said they would not play in Donald Trump and Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair on the Washington mall.

Now Fab Morvan, the living member of the original duo, tells CNN he’s out, too. Likening politics to chess, Morvan says he won’t be anyone’s pawn.

Fab won’t even lip sync. It’s the first right decision he’s made in 38 years.

So now the event is down to Vanilla Ice and FloRida and maybe C&C Music Factory. The event starts in 24 days.

Reports: “60 Minutes” Meeting Turns Ugly as Scott Pelley Reams New Executive Producer Over Firings of Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega

Reports: “60 Minutes” Meeting Turns Ugly as Scott Pelley Reams New Executive Producer Over Firings of Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega

I love Scott Pelley.

He’s the real life “Jim Dial” of “Murphy Brown,” the erudite and seasoned veteran reporter at “60 Minutes.”

So, of course, today he picked a fight with the new executive producer of the news magazine during a get to know you meeting.

The New York Times and others are reporting that Pelley told Nick Bilton in front of the whole staff: “[Bari Weiss is murdering 60 Minutes.”

You have to love it. Weiss didn’t even come to the meeting.

Pelley and the staff are angry that last week Weiss fired Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, two veteran correspondents, because they questioned Weiss’s decisions.

Neither Weiss nor Bilton have any experience in broadcast television. Bilton is a freelance writer who also worked on scripts for the failed HBO fiction series, “The Idol.”

Pelley also said:

“She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that.”

Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”

Pelley doesn’t care if he’s fired for insubordination, obviously. Why should he? Weiss and Bilton should not be the reward for four decades of superior journalism.

Pelley is right about the Evening News. Weiss has managed to kill it. The ratings have never been lower. Anchor Tony Dokoupil has become her puppet, as is she the hatchet man for the new CBS owners, David and Larry Ellison. They are friends and associates of Donald Trump.

But isn’t this all a set up? Trump sued “60 Minutes” and hates a free press. His heart lies with Fox News, News Nation, and OAN because they represent his cruel ideology.

Yesterday Maria Bartiromo on Fox News went out of her way to agree with Scott Bessent that Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security should be cut.

Bartiromo and husband Jonathan Steinberg are worth about $300 million. She’s a total fraud, completely insincere. If there’s a revolution, she should be among the first to go.

As for Pelley, much applause came in the room after Bilton left. CBS News is going to have to a long, dark summer.

Taylor Swift Starts Hawking Her CD Single from “Toy Story 5” Song Called “I Knew It, I Know You” Her First Release of 2026 — Available for 48 Hours

Taylor Swift Starts Hawking Her CD Single from “Toy Story 5” Song Called “I Knew It, I Know You” Her First Release of 2026 — Available for 48 Hours

So, our long national nightmare is over.

Taylor Swift is now hawking her single from “Toy Story 5” after dropping clues for days.

On her website she’s posted collectible editions of “I Knew It, I Know You” which will be on the movie’s soundtrack.

The physical single drops “on or about” June 19th, but streaming begins this Thursday after midnight.

The physical CD is for sale on her website for just 48 hours.

Taylor says: “I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”

It’s an apt title because we knew it, and we know her. She loves to play games with her Swifties.

The single will throw Taylor’s hat in the ring for an Oscar nomination next winter. But it’s not guaranteed. Right now the only song in the running is “How Do I Write a Love Song Without You” from “Power Ballad.”

What’s unclear is if this is the only Swift track on the movie’s soundtrack, or if it’s also part of another album, or if there’s a separate album.

The great Randy Newman wrote the movie’s score, of course, but this is the first time the soundtrack has included a new voice.

Now, everyone back to your homework!

Confirmed: Taylor Swift Has At Least One Song on “Toy Story 5” Soundtrack, Maybe More, Expect a Flurry of Clues This Week

Confirmed: Taylor Swift Has At Least One Song on “Toy Story 5” Soundtrack, Maybe More, Expect a Flurry of Clues This Week

Well, that’s that.

Kids, I’ve confirmed for you that Taylor Swift’s name will be in the mix this fall for Best Song in a Movie.

An unimpeachable source tells me she has at least one song on the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack.

This isn’t much of a surprise after all the clues that have been dropped like billboards and subtle changes to Apple Music.

The song may be called “Throwback.” I don’t know.

What I do know is that this will push Swifties to the movie in droves.

Why so much brouhaha after maybe one song? As someone told me today, “Look at Golden. That was one song.”

Could Taylor’s song be the Song of the Summer? We’ll see.

Anyway, our long, national nightmare is over. Now we know.

And yet Trump is still in unreleased Epstein files and the East Wing of the White House is demolished.

Trump’s Failed Great American State Fair Mocked As a Wicked Social Media Meme as Dropped Out Acts Now Include Charles Manson, Spinal Tap, The Archies

Trump’s Failed Great American State Fair Mocked As a Wicked Social Media Meme as Dropped Out Acts Now Include Charles Manson, Spinal Tap, The Archies

Now that nearly all the acts have dropped out of Donald Trump and Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair, the fun begins.

The idea is to mock Donald Trump mercilessly. It works.

Social media has become awash in social media memes about various fictional and otherwise hilariously inappropriate acts also declining an invitation.

They include the Muppets, the Angry Birds, Lily von Shtup from “Young Frankenstein,” fictional groups from movies, The Archies, the Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family, Josie and the Pussycats, the Teenage Ninja Turtles, and so on.

It goes without saying that Spinal Tap is among the bands not coming. So, too, Menudo, Tom Hanks’ “The Wonders,” and the Kars-for-Kids jingle people.

Author Anne Lamott wins the contest, with Charles Manson passing on the event.

Here’s a link to Twitter X that’s so much fun to scroll through.

Trump Defends Drone Port on Roof of “Ballroom,” Warns Judge Over Lawsuit: “We can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone”

Trump Defends Drone Port on Roof of “Ballroom,” Warns Judge Over Lawsuit: “We can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone”

What the hell is Donald Trump planning with his “ballroom”?

It’s clearly a military installation of some kind. He’s putting a bunker in the basement and wants a state of the art drone port on the roof.

Doesn’t sound like cocktails and dancing, does it?

His tirade on social media today concludes: We can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone.”

Defend it against what? Him?

His post, below, is chilling.

Box Office: “Backrooms” $10 Mil Indie Horror Film by 20 Year Old Director Takes $81 Mil Opening Weekend, Crushing “Mandalorian and Grogu”

Box Office: “Backrooms” $10 Mil Indie Horror Film by 20 Year Old Director Takes $81 Mil Opening Weekend, Crushing “Mandalorian and Grogu”

“Star Wars” Has met its match.

In its second week of release, the “Star Wars” movie “The Mandalorian and Grogu’ has been crushed.

The top movie this weekend was “Backrooms,” a $10 mil horror flick made by a 20 year old first time director.

Ouch!

“Obsession” finished in second place with a whopping $26.4 million. Total is now $104 million, based on a $1 million budget.

“M&G” did $25 million, down 69%, the biggest drop of any “Star Wars” movie in 0 years.

Negative reaction from the fan base did the movie in. “M&G” will be lucky to hit $200 million.

Meantime, “Power Ballad” opened in 10 theaters and took in $170,000. Let’s hope this good beginning triggers a great run!

I’m still waiting for someone from Lionsgate to contact me about the story I wrote Friday about the Nick Jonas song. It hasn’t hit iTunes yet, and won’t unless someone gets behind it.

UPDATED: Taylor Swift “Toy Story 5” Song Could Be Called “Throwback,” Mysterious Billboards Will Be Replaced This Week

UPDATE: Randy Newman did write the score.

However, at least one Taylor Swift song is called “Throwback.” I’m told the song has something to do with Joan Cusack’s character, Jessie.

Also, sources tell me those mysterious billboards that popped around the country will be taken this week and replaced by new ones.

The great and amazing Randy Newman has composed the soundtracks for the first four “Toy Story” movies.

He won a Grammy Award for his song, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”

Newman, 82, is still listed as composer for “Toy Story 5” on his imdb page.

But it’s possible some of the music — more than one song — is by Taylor Swift.

It’s also possible she voices a character in the film. Or both!

Swiftian sleuths have been noting clues all weekend, dropped like breadcrumbs by the “Lover” singer in strange places.

Responses to the clues have gone so viral that one Twitter account wrote:
“when i became a taylor swift fan nearly 2 decades ago i didn’t know i was entering a life long relationship with the zodiac killer”

Let’s hope things end a lot better!

Some clues: There are enigmatic billboards placed around the country.

There was a change to her “1989” album cover on iTunes that only Swifties would notice.

Fans are tracking Disney and Pixar sites, Swift’s TikTok, and other social media to see what happens next.


Obviously, a lot of effort has gone into this campaign. As many have pointed out, it’s far too much than just for one song on a soundtrack.

Also, this is the longest in a calendar year without a Swift release. Yes, she’s planning a wedding, but something bigger may be afoot.

Stay tuned…this could go on for a week until the movie’s premiere on June 9th…

Sydney Sweeney Bikes Into Times Square Undercover with Scooter Braun to See Her Billboard, Eat Burgers, Reaches Euphoria at 11 PM (Watch Video)

Scooter Braun, 44, says he didn’t really know Taylor Swift when he bought her master recordings out from underneath her — in a new interview.

But he was a sport when girlfriend Sydney Sweeney, 28, said she’d never been to Times Square. They jumped on bikes and went there — maybe last night — at 11pm. Sweeney was undercover in a hoodie and sunglasses.

Their video is full of Euphoria.

It looks like they went Five Guys on 42nd St and had burgers. Scooter fat shames a guy on the sidewalk waiting for a bus. “That’s my guy,” he jokes — it’s not his bodyguard.

Then they go look at Sydney’s American Eagle billboard and she dances around joyously. Just two crazy kids!
