Jimmy Fallon Remixes ‘Somebody That I Used to Know' in Honor of Trump-Musk ‘National Divorce'
Jimmy Fallon is happy to report that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are totally thriving as they move on from their feud. And he has a music video to prove it.
'Well, it seems like Trump and Elon's feud has calmed down a bit. The two still aren't speaking, but they did release this music video today,' Fallon said on Tuesday night.
The chords for Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know' then started as 'The Tonight Show' stitched together audio clips of both Musk and Trump singing the lyrics to the breakup anthem. Musk started off the song with 'You didn't have to cut me off' before Trump took it away with 'Make it out like it never happened and that we were nothing.' Musk then chimed back in with 'Guess that I don't need that though' with Trump closing it out with the iconic line 'Now you're just somebody that I used to know.'
That isn't the only breakup song joke Fallon had. 'The fallout continues over Trump's national divorce from Elon Musk. And Trump said he's not even thinking about Elon,' Fallon said earlier in his monologue.
To prove his point, the comedian shared a sketch that featured 'The Tonight Show's' version of Trump asking if Musk had called, texted, emailed, faxed, poked, slacked or slid into his DMs. After a Secret Service member stoically responds 'no' to Trump's many questions, the sketch showed bright rave-like colors flashing from the windows of the White House as fake Trump sang Robyn's 'Dancing on My Own.' Watch the full opening monologue above.

Comedian Isabel Hagen Revisits Her Roots Playing the Viola in ‘On a String' First Look
Comedian Isabel Hagen is blurring fact and fiction with her music-centric directorial debut 'On a String.' The indie, which debuts at Tribeca, fits perfectly within the 2025 program for the acclaimed festival, which has additional highlights such as 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' Miley Cyrus' 'Something Beautiful,' and music therapist drama 'Charliebird.' Hagen writes, directs, and stars in 'On a String' which centers on a Juilliard-trained violist looking for her big break. In real life, Hagen somehow also finds time between appearing on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' and performing at the Just for Laughs festival to tour with buzzy bands, most recently Vampire Weekend. More from IndieWire 'Lilo & Stitch': How Director Dean Fleischer Camp Followed the Chris Sanders Animation Manual in Adapting His Misfit Alien 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' Review: A Surface-Level Netflix Documentary About the Submersible Implosion Heard Around the World The official synopsis for 'On a String' reads: 'Isabel (Hagen) is a young, Juilliard-trained violist still living at home with her parents in the heart of New York City. She's trying to make a living playing gigs with her friends but when her toxic ex- boyfriend reappears, who also happens to be the Philharmonic's 'newest, hottest cellist,' he informs her of a viola opening in the prestigious orchestra. Nothing can go wrong, right?' Dylan Baker, Ling Ling Huang, Frederick Weller, Jamie Lee, and Eric Bogosian co-star. 'As a Juilliard graduate, I freelanced as a violist in New York City for over a decade,' Hagen told IndieWire. 'I played weddings, private parties, backup strings for singer-songwriters, among other engagements. I've been a tiny part of other peoples' big life moments, finding paradoxical intimacy in being an observer. It's this role of the observer that initially inspired me to write 'On a String,' which is not about someone driven by a desire for success, but rather by a need for true connection to the world around her, with no idea how to find it.' In an additional director's statement, Hagen cited her love for the viola 'faded' during her time at Juilliard. 'Still, music was all I knew, and I freelanced as a violist in New York City for over a decade (I did eventually become a stand-up comedian, but that's another movie),' she said. 'While this film tells a tale of a classical musician navigating a specific world, with which many may be unfamiliar, I was interested in using that specificity to capture an experience I find to be universal — that of confronting the reality of following your dreams and accepting life's inevitable limitations. Authenticity was a priority for me in telling this story. The film features live-captured musical performances, and the musician characters are almost entirely played by trained musicians, including my real-life brother, pianist Oliver Hagen, portraying my character's brother in the film.' 'On a String' is produced by Hagen, Olivia Vessel, Torrance Shepherd, Alex Vara, and Annie McGrath. 'On a String' premieres at the Tribeca Festival as a sales title with Andrew Herwitz at the Film Sales Company handling rights. Check out the first look clip below.

Trump and Melania Are Booed, Cheered During MAGA's Night Out at Kennedy Center Premiere
The Trump Administration's big night out at the re-tooled Kennedy Center, the Capitol venue now being led by the president after a stunning coup as he stormed back into the Oval Office, was marked by a protest attendance by local drag queens and an eruption of booing and reactive MAGA-rally-style chants from the crowd on Wednesday. The president and First Lady Melania Trump attended the Kennedy Center Opera House debut of a touring group's performance of the smash hit musical Les Misérables — the beloved show that grew in popularity in 1980s New York as Trump made a name for himself in tandem as a commercial real estate mogul and tabloid fixture. As armed National Guard troops mobilized by Trump remain in Los Angeles to stand guard federal buildings amid initially peaceful protests but also are accompanying ICE in immigration raids, he and the first lady walked a red carpet ahead of the debut of the musical, which focuses the poor and downtrodden fighting with the resistance at the dawn of revolution. The show is a favorite of Trump's, he said from the red carpet on Wednesday.

Gavin Newsom Found: 'The 33' Casts Actor as Politician in Film About Homeless Crisis (Exclusive) The political musical is the first show to land at the premier Washington, D.C. venue since Trump took control of the institution in February. Within the first month of his second term, Trump fired its entire board then replaced them with loyalists including Susie Wiles, his chief of staff, Second Lady Usha Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's wife, Allison, and Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham; the new hand selected board soon voted him in as the chairman. Wednesday night was purportedly a fundraising event for the suddenly cash-strapped venue. The event's gold sponsors paid $2 million for 10 premier seats, a photo op with the president and 10 VIP reception tickets. Squared in with many members of his cabinet, Trump stood in the presidential box after seating, a few boos grew and were peppered with heckles shouted from above. This gave way to some cheers and a chanting of 'U.S.A! U.S.A!' from some of the president's supporters in attendance. As the president exited the theater, a woman yelled, 'Felon, you're a convicted felon!' at Trump. She got in another clearer, 'Convicted felon, rapist!' before security intervened. That outburst and the scattered booing weren't the only protest at the Kennedy Center last night, either. Seated in front of the presidential box was a group of four drag queens, whose noticeable attendance in the crowd, a mix of D.C's new MAGA elite and arts patrons of the very blue District, was a response to Trump's comment while overtaking the beloved institution that there would now be no 'woke' performances or drag shows at the Kennedy Center. '[This gives] a message of inclusivity. I really love musicals, I mean I'm a drag queen,' performer Tara Hoot told CNN while dressed in a hot pink dress and fluffy boa. The four queens, who The Advocate reports received tickets provided by supportive season ticket holders, mingled in the crowd ahead of the curtain, rubbing shoulders with attendees that included Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, Vice President J.D. Vance, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr., and adviser Corey Lewandowski. While entering the storied venue, the quad received a warm reception, mostly from locals complimenting their fashion choices and sizable hair. Ahead of the touring group of Les Misérables' Washington debut, there was also controversy from the cast. Ten of the 12 principal players said they would boycott the night over Trump's attendance. It's unclear how many of the show's actors followed through on this threat. None of this seemed to bother Trump, whose unprecedented escalation of the federal response to L.A.'s protests this week saw a journalist shot with a rubber bullet while on camera. 'I couldn't care less, honestly, I couldn't,' he replied. 'All I do is run the country — well.'

Is Trump really trying to buy seat fillers for Saturday's parade?
(NewsNation) — A job posting on Washington, D.C. Craigslist has been circulating on social media, appearing to seek seat-fillers for the upcoming military parade on June 14. But is it real? President Donald Trump is holding a large military parade to commemorate the Army's 250th birthday on Saturday, a date that also happens to be the president's birthday. Trump has long expressed admiration for militaristic parades that are often held by countries with authoritarian leaders, including China and North Korea. The parade has also been the subject of criticism. Democratic governors defend sanctuary policies before Congress The ad purports to be seeking seat fillers for an event on Jun. 14, with potential attendees instructed to wear red, white and blue with gold accessories. People of color are encouraged to apply for 'perception control.' The ad states that attendees will be given a red hat to wear, a fast food lunch will be provided and they will receive a flat fee of $1,000 paid in an unnamed cryptocurrency. Watch: Hegseth, Joint Chiefs of Staff chair testify before Senate on Defense budget There are numerous elements in the ad that could indicate a hoax posting, and fake postings for paid attendees at Trump events have been posted before. The picture accompanying the ad shows a Russian military parade, potentially a nod to Trump's long-standing entanglements with Russia. The group purporting to host the event, T-Mellon Events, also doesn't appear to have any digital footprint or evidence that it exists. Trump has allegedly paid people to attend events before, and mega donor Elon Musk is facing legal challenges over payments made to voters during the election. 'God Bless the USA' singer Lee Greenwood to perform at Army parade T-Mellon Events has no footprint, but could have a connection to Trump donor Timothy Mellon. The company said to be providing the cryptocurrency, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT LLC, is the one that administers Trump's memecoin.
