SJP says goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw with a poem 

Sarah Jessica Parker bid an emotional farewell to Carrie Bradshaw.

Following showrunner Michael Patrick King's announcement that the S** and the City spinoff series And Just Like That… is coming to an end, the actress took to Instagram to share a heartfelt poem about playing the iconic character since 1998.

"She has made the hardest, worst and best decisions. Traveled near and far for the new, the vintage, friends and love. Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City," Parker wrote of her alter-ego while captioning a slew of images from both the original show and the reboot.

"Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends," the 60-year-old remarked of the characters portrayed by Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis. "What great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker), most divine new connections."

"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore, the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all," she continued.

"MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all," Parker concluded the emotional update.

In a message to fans shared on Instagram, King dropped the bomb that the franchise will be concluding after the current season of And Just Like That…, which debuted in 2021.

"And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the S** and the City universe is coming to an end," the executive producer wrote. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… Season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from ten episodes to 12. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years."

The last two episodes will launch on HBO Max at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT on August 7 and August 14.

Megyn Kelly has tapped Donald Trump's former White House communications director Hope Hicks to serve as the Chief Operating Officer at her independent media company, Devil May Care Media.

"Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me — strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise," Kelly told the New York Post.

"She's at the top of a growing media conglomerate and there's no limit to where she can take it; my best-in-the-business staff and I are thrilled to have her on board," she added.

After Kelly left her television career, she found success with her podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show," but the commentator is now expanding her business to include a roster of talent. While Kelly hosts "The Megyn Kelly Show" and "AM Update with Megyn Kelly," her media empire will continue to grow.

Before Kelly hired her, Hicks had been running her own media consulting firm after leaving the first Trump administration. She served as the press secretary for the president's 2016 presidential campaign and was a communications director for Trump from 2017 to 2018.

"I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business," she said.

Smithsonian caves to Trump over impeachment exhibit

The Smithsonian National Museum made changes to its impeachment exhibit.

The Washington, D.C., establishment removed a "temporary label" featuring Donald Trump's name in their section dedicated to presidential condemnation that's been in place since September 2021.

The exhibit now runs up to 2008 and includes a note reading, "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal." Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Trump have all been formally impeached during their time in office.

The update comes months after the Republican leader's White House ordered the museum to remove anything related to "anti-American ideology" from the facility.

Despite Trump's demands, the museum is claiming the change is only due to other updates being made to the exhibit. "In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the 'Limits of Presidential Power' section in The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden exhibition needed to be addressed," they said in a statement.

"The section of this exhibition covers Congress, The Supreme Court, Impeachment and Public Opinion. Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the Impeachment case back to its 2008 appearance," the establishment noted.

The Smithsonian confirmed that once the alterations are done, "a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments."

Trump was impeached twice during his first term: first in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, then in 2021 following the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack when he was accused of inciting an insurrection. The Senate acquitted him in both trials.

Emmy nominee faces backlash over voter registration

Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency

Sydney Sweeney just can't avoid controversy. The Euphoria star is facing backlash over her political affiliation after she was accused of promoting white supremacy in a recent American Eagle ad campaign.

American Eagle used wordplay to celebrate the Emmy nominee's "great jeans" and "great genes," but critics were quick to point out that highlighting a thin white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes as the physical ideal is a dog whistle for eugenics.

There has been curiosity surrounding Sweeney's political beliefs since her family wore "Make America Great Again"-inspired hats reading "Make Sixty Great Again" during her mother's 60th birthday party in 2022. After fans accused her of supporting Donald Trump, Sweeney took to X to stress that her mom's birthday party was "an innocent celebration" that "turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention."

However, critics might've been right about their initial analysis, as The Guardian reported on Aug. 3 that the actress registered as a Republican in the state of Florida months before the 2024 presidential election. While Voter Information Lookup can't specify how someone ultimately voted, her association with the Republican Party was enough for some fans to turn on her.

"Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?" one person wrote on X.

"Let the record show I am really not shocked Sydney Sweeney is a Republican," another joked. "I'm shocked she's an active Republican because that face looks like it's never seen a ballot."

While people on the left rushed to mock Sweeney, Trump and the Republicans quickly came to the blonde's defense.

"Does nobody else think that Sydney Sweeney's address being doxxed on her voter registration for being a Republican feels like voter intimidation? Can't even be proud of your jeans in 2025," one user pointed out.

Trump, meanwhile, wrote on Truth Social, "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. Go get 'em Sydney."

Iconic Christmas rom-com gets Apple TV+ remake

The popular 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday is getting a reboot, according to TheWrap. AppleTV+ is reportedly developing a television adaptation of the 2006 Nancy Meyers' flick.

After word got out, Meyers admitted she was unaware of the project. "News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw," Meyers told followers on Instagram. While Meyers won't be affiliated with the show, Sweetpea writer Krissie Ducker has been tapped to adapt the film into a limited series, while Catastrophe's Rob Delaney has joined as a consultant.

While the show isn't an exact copy of The Holiday, it will follow the plot of a single American woman and a Brit swapping homes for the holiday season. They both end up finding love, romance and more during their international stays. The Holiday — which starred Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black — found commercial success when it was released.

Delaney and Ducker have a collaborative history, as the latter was a writer's assistant on Ducker's Catastrophe.

Fans took to social media to fume about the upcoming series. "If Nancy Meyers isn't involved, I'm protesting Apple (Also, why are we doing this???)," one user said on X.

"They didn't even tell [her] they were doing it, she found out on Instagram," another noted after seeing Meyers' post.

"Terrific movie," someone else shared. "Doesn't really need more…"

Jon Stewart calls out conservative hypocrisy

Jon Stewart is sick of the hypocrisy coming from Republicans.

During an episode of "The Weekly Show" podcast, the comedian slammed the right for their support of outwardly partisan late-night host Greg Gutfeld and their condemnation of recently fired Stephen Colbert for alienating half of his audience with his left-wing politics.

"This is them trying to police and create rules that they would never follow," Stewart explained. "You know, they all talk about, Gutfeld!'s the most popular [late night show]. Yeah. He's not popular because he's a both-sides guy. He's not a fair use [host], like, the Fair Use Doctrine says; like, he's relentless. And you know, after a day of watching Fox News and being bathed in their very purposeful propaganda, it's a great way to top off the night."

Despite being the top-rated primetime talk show on network television, Colbert's The Late Show was canceled by CBS. The talk series raked in a reported 2.42 million viewers between April and June. Jimmy Kimmel Live! averaged 1.77 million viewers, while Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, which airs on NBC, got 1.19 million viewers. By comparison, Gutfeld's Fox News program, which airs at 10 p.m. ET, averaged 3.29 million viewers in the second quarter.

Fox News/YouTube

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr — who runs the government agency that Paramount needed approval from for their merger with Skydance — publicly stated that "the partisan left's ritualist wailing and gnashing of teeth over Colbert" was "quite revealing" and appeared as if they were "losing a loyal DNC spokesperson."

Former late-night host Jay Leno recently spoke out against Colbert and his Democratic-leaning views. "I love political humor, don't get me wrong," the 75-year-old noted during a recent interview. "But why shoot for just half an audience all the time?"

CBS/YouTube

According to a report, since 2022, Colbert hosted 176 Democratic politicians and only welcomed one conservative.

Despite speculation, CBS and Paramount claimed their decision to end the 61-year-old's show was a "financial decision" rather than a political one. "Our admiration, affection and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult," the message from the network read. "Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been number one in late night for nine straight seasons, Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist."

Trump with Epstein and Andrew in newly unearthed photo

Donald Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein may be closer than he wants to admit.

In new photos unearthed by RadarOnline.com, the president can be seen hanging out with the late s** offender alongside his wife, Melania Trump, Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew at Mar-a-Lago in February 2000.

The pictures come after Donald claimed he threw Jeffrey out of the spa at his Florida resort for trying to "steal" workers. "I said, listen, we don't want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa," the Republican leader told reporters.

In an even more shocking claim, Donald alleged the person the financer tried to take was Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey's alleged victims who tragically died in April.

EPSTEIN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

"I think she worked at the spa," the former star of The Apprentice said. "I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever."

The round of photos — featured in the book Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales by investigative journalist Dylan Howard — also defies Donald's 2019 claim that he never met Prince Andrew, who Virginia accused of s***** assault after she alleged Jeffrey and Ghislaine trafficked her.

"I don't know Prince Andrew, but it's a tough story," Donald said at the time about the member of the royal family. "I don't know him, no."
