South Park's latest Donald Trump episode saw record viewing figures
The latest season of the animated show South Park is achieving record viewership figures, with its second episode drawing 6.2 million viewers. The second episode, which satirised Kristi Noem and ICE, became the highest-rated episode since 2018 and secured the biggest share in the series' history with 15.61 per cent of cable viewers. Kristi Noem was depicted repeatedly shooting dogs, a reference to her confession about killing her own puppy, and was also mocked for alleged plastic surgery. The show also featured Donald Trump and JD Vance, with Trump reportedly 'seething' over his portrayal in a relationship with Satan. Noem dismissed the cartoon as 'petty' and 'lazy', stating she had not seen the episode but criticised its focus on women's appearance.

Kristen Bell says husband Dax Shepard was 'screaming' over her steamy on-screen kiss with Adam Brody
Kristen Bell said her husband, Dax Shepard, couldn't get enough of her on-screen kiss with Adam Brody — and even celebrated it with his friends. While speaking at the inaugural Televerse event in Los Angeles on Friday, the actress, 45, revealed that her spouse, 50, was on an off-roading trip when Netflix dropped season one of her hit series Nobody Wants This. Even miles away, he still found a way to show his support by sending her a voice memo. Over background music from the scene — and 'screaming' of 'Oh my god!' — Bell said she got to hear Shepard and his buddies cheering as her character, Joanne, finally locked lips with Noah (Brody). Looking back on it, the mom-of-two said his excitement 'says a lot' about how invested he was in the fictional couple's romance. In the scene, Noah and Joanne are talking on the street when he tells her to put down her ice cream and bag so he can kiss her. Both Brody and Bell revealed that the script described it as 'the world's greatest kiss,' which only raised the stakes and their nerves. Bell joked that the scene came with 'max pressure' and that she and Brody were determined to do it justice. 'In the [first kiss] moment, it is meant to give the audience the passion of these two people and their comfort together, because comfort can be incredibly passionate,' Bell explained. 'It's a deep, beautiful emotion, and we don't associate it with kissing very much.' After each take, she recalls running over to Foster and asking: 'Was it cute? Was it hot? Did you like it?' When asked why she scripted it as 'the world's greatest kiss' without any further instructions, Foster admitted that she gets self conscious writing 'sexy moments' and using 'romance novel lingo.' 'I don't know how to say, he sweeps his hands in her hair and she locks eyes... that just weirds me out!' she confessed. 'I think that was more laziness on my part. But there was definitely some strategy behind the kiss.' She went on to say that the kiss was designed to anchor the story. 'I think that sometimes as women, there's sort of a universal language that we all know with each other. We have a responsibility when we're creating something that we are telling the narrative of romance to young women,' she told the audience. 'And a lot of it is, have you know their habits that you sort of don't want to emulate, and the idea of showing women a healthy relationship.' She continued: 'Sometimes as a woman, we want men to talk to us like we're a little delicate and strong, and to support us.' As the series prepares to return for season two, she explained that Joanne and Noah's relationship will move into more mature territory, facing questions about family and cohabitation. 'Joanne and Noah are now at a place in their relationship for season two where they're asking each other different questions,' Foster shared. 'Everyone's been in the first couple months of a relationship, and everyone's past the threshold where you ask if you and your partner are going to dinner with each other's families or if you are going to cohabitate with one another. There's all of these teeny, tiny things that link you closer to someone else.' Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther — married to Noah's older brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) — also teased that her character is realizing she wants to embrace joy like Joanne and Noah instead of creating 'self-imposed bad times.' The show, created by Foster, follows Joanne, an agnostic podcast host, and Noah, an unconventional rabbi, as they navigate love and faith. Their first kiss, which went viral, resonated with viewers for blending passion and comfort — a balance Bell and Foster both say is at the heart of the series. Nobody Wants This returns for season two on October 23, 2025.

Emma Stone reveals mortifying question her mother asked Angelina Jolie about kids
Emma Stone revisited the embarrassing moment she had with her mother and Angelina Jolie in a new interview with Vogue. The 36-year-old actress recalled bringing her mom, Krista Stone, as her date to the 2011 Golden Globes and sharing a table with Angelina and Brad Pitt. 'That was a really, really fun night because I brought my mom and we sat next to Angelina Jolie and she asked Angelina Jolie if she had any kids,' the Poor Things star remembered. It is widely known that Angelina and her now-ex-husband Brad share a brood of six children, making Krista's starstruck moment particularly funny. 'The Golden Globes is sort of like these big, round tables and it feels like you're just constantly running into all these people that you've only seen on TV or in movies,' Emma described of the star-studded affair. She quipped, 'Everybody's shorter than you think they are. Except for Conan O'Brien, who's seven-and-a-half-feet tall.' Emma had previously told the story in more detail while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2020. At the time, she said about sitting with the Hollywood heavyweights: 'We were like, "Of all people to be sitting next to at that kind of a show, whoa."' She added, 'My mom never drinks and she had champagne that night, which was probably not the best idea, but she was having a wonderful time.' The silver screen siren went on to explain how her mom 'completely knew' Angelina had kids, but feigned ignorance as she leaned into small talk. 'She knew everything. But they were so nice. We had a blast. That was a very fun night,' Emma emphasized. Elsewhere in the Vogue clip, which featured the actress unpacking her fashion throughout her career, she dissected her look at the 2011 awards show. She expressed regret over spray tan, which was nearly the same shade of her peach-toned dress. 'I look like one solid thumb,' the Superbad star joked. 'The Golden Globes is sort of like these big, round tables and it feels like you're just constantly running into all these people that you've only seen on TV or in movies,' Emma described of the star-studded affair; Exes Angelina and Brad pictured in 2011 'And that dress was so pretty,' she remarked. 'I just — why did I decide to match my skin tone to the dress?' The mom-of-one continued, 'That's what bums me out about this... is it's such a beautiful dress, such a beautiful shape, and I just... I really thought that the tan was the move. She is Vogue's September cover star, and inside the pages of the glossy she made rare comments about her four-year-old daughter Louise Jean, whom she shares with husband Dave McCary. 'There's nothing I feel luckier about,' Stone gushed, adding, 'She's the greatest gift of my life, for sure.'
