Fans praise Colin Jost for response to Scarlett Johansson kissing Jonathan Bailey on press tour
Johansson and Bailey, who star in the film, were seen sharing kisses on the red carpet at multiple events.
Jonathan Bailey, who is openly gay, previously said of the kisses, 'I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can't kiss your friends...life's too short not to.'
Colin Jost spoke about the situation with Entertainment Tonight, describing the press tour as 'fun,' although noting the unexpected stories emerging from it.
'[There's been a] lot of Jurassic press things that you're like, you didn't expect this to be a story. But there's a lot of stories coming out of it,' Jost said.
When asked directly about 'your wife constantly kissing Jonathan Bailey,' Jost responded, 'I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought. Of all the threats out there, I wasn't thinking it was Jonathan.'
He added, 'People really blow it out of proportion, when someone kisses their friend hello,' and noted, 'Jonathan's an out gay man. It didn't seem like the biggest threat,' before joking that he and Bailey now need to kiss to 'close the loop.'
Fans on TikTok and Reddit described Jost's response as confident and noted their appreciation for his relaxed approach, with some commenting that 'the world needs more Colins.'

American Eagle defends Sydney Sweeney campaign amid eugenics accusations
American Eagle has addressed the controversy surrounding its fall 2025 campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney, following widespread online backlash and confusion over the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The viral campaign sparked debate after a clip showed Sweeney saying, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring… My jeans are blue.' The wordplay between 'genes' and 'jeans' ignited accusations online that the ad promoted a subtle racial message or even eugenics. Critics, particularly on TikTok, claimed the combination of Sweeney's blue eyes, blonde hair, and scripted dialogue made the campaign a 'racialized dog whistle.' In response, American Eagle issued a statement on Instagram: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way.' While some condemned the campaign as tone-deaf, others defended Sweeney and the brand, dismissing the outrage as overblown. 'Y'all are mad at Sydney Sweeney because she's white, she's blonde, she's blue-eyed and she looks good,' said one TikTok user, capturing the divide in public sentiment. Sweeney has not commented publicly. She continues to dominate Hollywood with roles in Euphoria, The White Lotus, and the upcoming Christy, while also expanding her business ventures. Recent endorsements include Armani Beauty, Miu Miu, and a reported lingerie brand backed by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Baskin-Robbins, one of her brand partners, has since disabled comments on TikTok videos featuring the actress amid the controversy.

Justin Trudeau intensifies dating rumours with Katy Perry after Montreal concert appearance
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sparked dating rumors with pop star Katy Perry after the two were seen dining together in Montreal and later attending her concert in the city. The speculation follows several videos posted by concertgoers showing Trudeau enthusiastically singing along to Perry's hit song 'Firework' during her Lifetimes tour stop over the weekend. The viral footage, originally posted by TikTok user @avocado6713, shows Trudeau fully immersed in the performance, leading many to joke that he may be a 'secret KatyCat,' referring to the nickname for Perry's devoted fanbase. Though neither party has issued a public statement about their relationship status, the internet has been quick to speculate. Perry is currently separated from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a child, while Trudeau finalized his divorce from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in early 2024. Their recent public appearances have fueled curiosity about whether their connection is romantic or simply friendly. Despite the unexpected nature of the pairing, cultural observers have noted some surprising similarities between the two. As pointed out by Joan Summers in a piece for Vulture, both Trudeau and Perry have faced past criticism over cultural appropriation and have become recurring figures in viral media coverage—from BuzzFeed listicles to meme culture. While it remains unclear whether this is a budding relationship or just an amusing coincidence, their sightings in Montreal have undeniably placed them at the center of pop culture chatter.
