Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have been dealing with each other for the better part of a year. When all is said and done, I think it’s pretty clear that Megan left Brian Austin Green for MGK, and I don’t really have a problem with it? MGK was the vehicle with which Megan could finally separate herself from BAG for good, after years of back-and-forth, off-and-on drama. Megan and MGK moved fast too – they went from “casually working with each other” to “obsessed with each other” in a few months’ time. Megan has introduced MGK to her kids, and MGK has publicly proclaimed his love for her, and they’re said to be planning their future together, and that this isn’t some “fling.” I don’t know… we’ll see. This might be a bigger mess than Megan and BAG.

Last night at the AMAs, Megan and Machine Gun Kelly made their red carpet couple debut. In a pandemic! Damn. Maybe that’s how you know it’s true love. Megan wore a two-piece dress ensemble by Azzi & Osta in a lovely shade of green. She also introduced his performance (she’s also in the music video). What strikes me is that Megan looks really healthy – she’s been in the sun, she doesn’t look too thin, she doesn’t look like she’s fresh from the plastic surgeon’s office. Perhaps MGK is like “I love you just the way you are.”

They are joined together in having terrible tattoos, right?

Prince Harry has always been pretty close to the York sisters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Eugenie and Harry are so close that she used to set him up with her friends, and she was one of the first people in the family to meet Meghan when H&M first began dating. So now that Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are expecting, it’s not surprising that Harry is doing his cousin a really nice favor. What *does* surprise me is that the Queen didn’t “give” Eugenie and Jack a royal property as a wedding/baby gift. So it’s left to Harry to make a generous donation: he’s lending them Frogmore Cottage in what seems like an open-ended lease. This is the same Frogmore Cottage which the Queen gifted to the Sussexes and everyone freaked out over how much money it cost to renovate, so H&M “paid back” the cost of the renovations. Harry and Meghan aren’t coming back to England any time soon (LOL) so now Eugenie and Jack live there.

Harry and Meghan have handed the keys to Frogmore Cottage to Princess Eugenie. The Sussexes’ prized possessions were hauled out of Frogmore Cottage in the dead of night to make way for their new tenant. Pregnant Eugenie, 30, and hubby Jack Brooksbank moved into the refurbished five-bed home in Windsor two weeks ago.

The secretive switch saw treasured items and furniture packed off to the Sussexes’ home in California. Grade II-listed Frogmore technically remains the Sussexes’ UK residence but it is unlikely they will live there as a family again.

A source said: “Removal vans pitched up in the dead of the night and cleared out the cottage. They definitely did not want to be seen. Emptying their home and handing over the keys is a pretty strong sign Harry and Meghan have no plans to return. It appears they are tying up loose ends as they plan to extend their stay in the US perhaps permanently.”

The Princess and the Sussexes are said to have reached a private agreement but it is not known how long for. Harry, 36, has always been close to his cousin, youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Andrew and Fergie live together four miles away at Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park. Eugenie and Jack are also less than a mile from Windsor Castle, where the Queen is spending lockdown with Prince Philip.

Harry and Meghan, 39, cleared the way for the move by repaying £2.4million of taxpayers’ cash spent on a refurb. The source added: “Frogmore was kitted out to Meghan and Harry’s tastes with son Archie in mind, so it is the perfect place for a couple to bring up a baby. It has the bonus of being around the corner from her parents and, of course, the Queen. Harry and Meghan didn’t fancy Frogmore for whatever reason but Jack and Eugenie are delighted with it.”

The couple wed at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in October 2018 and have been living at Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace. Eyebrows were raised after lights were spotted inside the 200-year-old Frogmore around a fortnight ago. Royal gardeners were sent to the cottage last month to get the ground shipshape. It is understood teams cleared leaves and aired the home which had been closed for eight months.

I saw the tweets from many royal reporters as the story broke on Friday and it was hilarious to see how BIG MAD they all were. They were still angling to find a way to smear and mock Harry and Meghan for Frogmore (even though the Sussexes paid back all of that sh-t) and now Harry has given Frogmore to Eugenie and Jack? Super-generous. So now comes all of the reporters’ breast-beating and wailing, “HE IS NEVER COMING BACK!!” Yeah, duh. His a–hole family wouldn’t even lay a wreath on Remembrance Sunday in his name. And the royal commentary class has spent the past two years lying and smearing the Sussexes. Your ginger prince isn’t coming back.

Lukas Gage is a 25-year-old American actor with a CV full of TV and film roles in projects like Euphoria, Assassination Nation, Supergirl, Veronica Mars and more. He’s not a household name, but he’s a working actor with some kind of profile. Like many actors during the pandemic, he’s been forced into auditioning for future roles via Zoom. He was doing one of those Zoom auditions in his apartment when this happened:

psa if youre a shit talking director make sure to mute ur shit on zoom mtgings pic.twitter.com/PTgMZcRhEw

He didn’t name the British-accented director who did this, which I’ll get to in a second. The director can be overheard saying, “These poor people live in these tiny apartments… Like, I’m looking at his background and he’s got his TV and, you know…” Lukas interrupts him to say that the guy is, in fact, unmuted, and “I know it’s a s—y apartment. Give me this job so I can get a better one.” The director can be heard saying that he’s “mortified” that Gage overheard him. Gage behaved with grace and class.

After he posted this on his social media, actors of all ages came out to defend Lukas and praise him and commiserate with him. January Jones was one of those actors, which has led some people (who know January’s particular backstory) to suggest that the director was Matthew Vaughn, a British aristocrat-turned-director and Claudia Schiffer’s husband. That has not been confirmed, although some people are, like, doing vocal comparisons online.

I feel so bad for this young man, but he’s got to feel good about just how many people – many of them actors – stood up for him. And stood up for his apartment, which looks nice!

Since @lukasgage is going viral on film twitter for being the graceful, quick-thinking sweetheart he is, I’d like to add for any (non-asshole) director’s looking that he’s also a delight to work with, funny, talented and a blast on set. Hire this man! https://t.co/Sjai5jqury

As a young man I would have dreamed of an apartment like this one. Look at that sweet flat screen! The guitar! The moldings! https://t.co/cAEGxLy03G

What an honest young actor. What a dumbass director. You’ll go farther than he will, @lukasgage.? https://t.co/aRI2AGGazp

On Tuesday, November 3rd, the Trump campaign was yet again violating the Hatch Act by throwing a little campaign party in the White House. It was Election Night and there were taxpayer-funded hors d’oeuvres to eat as hundreds of maskless dumbasses congregated in a few reception rooms. In the wee hours of the morning on November 4th, Donald Trump waddled out and gave an unhinged press conference where he “claimed” a bunch of states which would end up voting for Joe Biden in large numbers. That too was a maskless superspreader event. In those hours, dozens of people caught the coronavirus, including Ben Carson, WH chief of staff Mark Meadows, many Secret Service agents and, you’ll never guess, Don Trump Jr. Don was there that night, and by my math, that’s when he caught Covid.

Donald Trump Jr. has tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). A spokesperson for Trump Jr. tells PEOPLE that he tested positive earlier this week and has been in isolation.

“Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result,” the spokesperson said. “He’s been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines.” In a Saturday morning update, Trump Jr.’s father Donald Trump said that his son ” is doing very well.”

Trump Jr.’s father and Melania Trump both tested positive for the contagious respiratory virus in early October. At the time, Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump tested negative for COVID-19. Like his father, Trump Jr. has continuously downplayed the severity of COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. In July, he was blocked from his own Twitter account for 12 hours as punishment for spreading misinformation about the virus.

The United States has had more than 11.8 million positive cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began, and at least 253,223 people have died from the virus as of Friday, according to data from the New York Times.

[From People]

My timeline makes sense, right? The incubation period varies from a few days to about 8 days or so. My guess is that while Don might have only tested positive a week ago, he was symptomatic days earlier (which is probably why he got the test in the first place). As for Don… yes, I think he’s a cross-eyed cokehead loser dumbass, but am I really the kind of person who laughs when a Trump gets coronavirus? Yes. I am. Oh, and apparently Andrew Giuliani – Rudy’s dumbf–k son – also has the virus. *clears throat*

Also, just further evidence that the Biden-Harris people are probably going to have to wait a few days before moving into the White House and Naval Observatory. There needs to be a deep cleaning everywhere. And then bring in some shamans and healers and priests to decontaminate the demons and bad juju.

If you don’t mind wading through pages and pages of crap, you’ll probably enjoy Nicolas Cage’s Interview Magazine cover interview. It was conducted by his friend Marilyn Manson and it is, as they kids say, A LOT. That being said, Nick doesn’t come across as particularly bad here. He’s not evil or gross or a total douchebag. He comes across as a profoundly offbeat character who does weird sh-t just to scratch that itch. Cage is promoting his role as Joe Exotic, which is filming right now, apparently. He’s also working on The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, where he plays “a cash-strapped version of himself.” I think he’s also promoting some of his various direct-to-streaming/VOD projects, all of which are low-budget and barely seen. So… you can read the full piece here. Some highlights:

He surrounds himself with animals: “That’s why I like to surround myself with reptiles and fish and cats. I just bought a crow. His name is Huginn, after one of [the Norse god] Odin’s two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, and he’s amazing….he’s an African pied crow. He says “hi” when I walk into the room and “bye” when I leave. The other morning he started laughing and called me an a–hole. I’m trying to figure [out why he called me that]. He likes to eat cat food, which makes it easy, because I give my cats Sheba Perfect Portions, and Huginn enjoys it as well. I think he has a sense of humor, so maybe that’s why he called me an a–hole.

Manson offers to come to Vegas to spoon him: “I appreciate the offer, but I’m actually great with my cats. I don’t mind watching a movie with you, though. We were good buddies with Johnny Ramone, and we would all hang out at his house. Do you remember that time I had that mummy’s hand with tattoos on it?… It was an actual hand.”

His magic number: “Seven. It’s kind of cliché, but the number has had power for me. If you want to walk down the road of the esoteric, what’s always been most powerful to me is something as simple as blowing out candles on a birthday cake. I really take those wishes seriously. It’s almost like a meditation. And more often than not, those wishes have come true.

Whether he’s a gambler: “The last time I gambled was about 30 years ago. I was in the Bahamas, and I walked into a casino and felt like I had my mojo with me, like nothing could go wrong. My game was roulette. I went in with $200, and I didn’t miss a number, so much so that even the lady spinning the wheel said, “Nothing sweeter than a repeater.” In 20 minutes I turned $200 into $20,000, so I went and found an orphanage in the Bahamas, met all the kids and the headmistress, and said, “This is for you.” I put the 20 grand in her hand, walked away, and never gambled again, because if I did, it would ruin the power of that moment… And you can’t live in Vegas if you’re a gambler. I’ve seen it destroy people. Of all the addictions, I think it might be the worst.

Costar crushes: “It was when I was younger. I had a very powerful crush on Deborah Foreman when we were do- ing Valley Girl. I felt a lot for Bridget Fonda when we were doing It Could Happen to You, and for Penélope [Cruz] when we were doing Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. But as I got older, I no longer was interested in that. I was all about the work.

The connections with costars: “Well, you feel it, and that’s the weird thing about filmmaking. Everybody is so close. There’s a bubble over the whole set. And then, as soon as the movie is wrapped, no one talks to anybody anymore. It’s almost like we’re embarrassed that we were ever that close, like there was something artificial about it and now we don’t know what to do with our feelings. But I’ve remained friendly with most of my costars, and sure, you get feelings and use those feelings in the work, but you know that those feelings will be poison if you bring them home to your wife.

On women: “My reality with women has been mystifying ever since I was born. I didn’t have any sisters, and my mother did the best she could, but she wasn’t really in a state of well-being where she could be there for me, so I never really had female energy growing up. I had two older brothers, and my father was the caretaker, so I had a lot of masculine energy around me. Women have always been the most beautiful and the most amazing and the most mystifying and the most compelling of creations, so I tend to have a vulnerability toward them.

[From Interview]

I laughed the entire way through this interview, it was so bonkers. Just the idea of Cage sitting at home alone in Las Vegas, with his cats and his new crow – a crow who calls him an “a–hole” – feeding them all cat food and thinking all of these thoughts. The story about handing $20K of gambling winnings to an orphanage… wow. The quotes about having crushes on costars and feeling embarrassed that everyone was so close during filming… that made me sad. Is Nick Cage a good guy? Or is he just a weird guy who just happens to be NOT awful?
