10 Awkward And Outrageous Things That Happened This Week

Buzz Feed23-02-2025

1. Drake responded to his ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar on his new album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U:
'They be droppin' shit, but we be droppin' harder shit,' he rapped on the song "Gimme a Hug," essentially running away from the beef after being more or less obliterated by the reign of Kendrick's "Not Like Us." 'Fuck a rap beef, I'm tryna get the party lit / Tryna get the party lit for the bitches.'
2. Weeks after publicly disavowing her, Emilia Peréz director Jacques Audiard thanked the film's embattled star Karla Sofía Gascon in his BAFTAs acceptance speech:
'Above all, I would like to thank all the wonderful artists who brought this film to life and who are here with us tonight,' he said, translated by an interpreter, while accepting the award for Best Film Not in the English Language. 'My dear Zoe, my dear Selena, Giorgini, Paul, Juliet, Camille, Clement, Julia and your team, but also you, my dear Karla Sofía, that I kiss. I'm deeply proud of what we achieved together. Long live Emilia Pérez!'
3. Trump supporters got really mad at Tom Hanks for his appearance in an SNL 50 skit where he played a MAGA guy:
4. A seal was very randomly on the loose in New Haven, Connecticut:

5. A lawmaker introduced a bill to make Trump's birthday a federal holiday:
It's June 14, in case you want to, uh, mark it on your calendar. (It's also Flag Day, which seems a little more significant of an occasion.)
6. Tom Holland's ID got rejected at Target while he tried to buy his own brand of non-alcoholic beer:
7. Kourtney Kardashian got called out for her "wasteful" Valentine's Day decorations:
8. Loretta Devine said she had a "mixed" experience while working with Jennifer Love Hewitt on the 2010s TV show The Client List:

"You know what? She decided to rewrite the entire angle of the show right in the middle," Loretta claimed, before diplomatically adding, "Everything gets you prepared for whatever you're going to do next."
9. Cynthia Erivo seemingly rejected Ariana Grande's attempt to hold her hand in public — again:
10. And finally, Matthew Lawrence claimed that Gabrielle Union reported him to a studio after he refused to rehearse on the set of the 1999 TV movie H-E Double Hockey Sticks:
"There was this one moment where — and, again, I'm oblivious, I had no idea — and she wanted to rehearse. And I was like, 'No, I'm good,'" Matthew said on the Magical Rewind podcast, later claiming that "she got angry and went and reported me to the director and the studio."

Last year, Young won her first Tony, in the same category, for Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch. She's also previously been nominated for Clyde's and Cost of Living. This year, she beat out Tala Ashe (English), Jessica Hecht (Eureka Day), Marjan Neshat (English) and Fina Strazza (John Proctor Is the Villain). While Young was speaking to reporters in the press room, Purpose also won best play. Young mentioned how honored she feels to have made history. 'I truly feel like we are so divided out here in the world that we can literally sit in the theater and nothing else matters but the story and our heartbeats and our listening ears, or eyes, for those who need access, access to that. I feel incredibly grateful and overwhelming amount of gratitude,' she said. 'Diversity literally equals humanity.' View all of the 2025 Tony winners here. See the red carpet arrivals here.

Lamar is followed by the man he engaged in an epic hip-hop beef with, Drake, as well as fellow rappers Doechii, Future and GloRilla, who have six nominations each. Comedic actor Kevin Hart is hosting. The event is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. PT at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, blocks away from several areas where protests have been taking place.
