John Mulaney actually fought three teens on TV — and lost
Comedian John Mulaney followed through on his absurd promise to fight three teenage boys during the finale of his variety-style talk show Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, as originally reported by Bethy Squires for Vulture. Known for blending sketch comedy and satire, the show's outlandish premise culminated in a staged brawl that delighted fans and viewers alike.
After weeks of buildup and mock promotional hype, the fight took place on-air around 8:04 p.m. PST. Mulaney, suited up and ready, squared off against three teen boys in coordinated attacks. The teens used clever tactics — one repeatedly attempted to trip him — and eventually overpowered the comedian. As Mulaney tapped out, the crowd cheered and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony performed 'Tha Crossroads,' marking the teens' hilarious victory.
Celebrity guests including Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, Sean Penn, Richard Kind, and Saymo looked on from the sidelines as the chaos unfolded. One of the show's writers even brought a babysitter to witness the spectacle. Despite being a father of two, Mulaney didn't hold back — but the combined energy of the teenagers proved too much.
The surreal ending to Everybody's Live, which has blended offbeat stunts with musical numbers and sketch humor, was both comedic and bizarre. While there's no official word yet on the show's renewal, fans are already calling the finale one of the wildest moments in late-night comedy this year.
If this truly was the series finale, it's a memorable sendoff — a ridiculous, joyful punchline to Mulaney's unconventional talk show experiment.

Is Taylor Swift planning to buy back her masters amid ongoing rerecording releases?
Taylor Swift is reportedly being offered the chance to buy back the master recordings of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital, the firm that acquired them from Scooter Braun. The asking price could range from $600 million to $1 billion, posing a major decision for Swift as she balances business strategy with public messaging. As noted by Vulture, owning both the original masters and the re-recordings would grant Swift unmatched control over her discography. However, it could also complicate the narrative that has defined the Taylor's Versions—albums re-recorded as a stand against corporate control of creative work. The rerecordings are widely seen as a reclaiming of her artistic legacy, not merely commercial reissues. If Swift were to buy back the masters now, it might weaken the symbolic power of that stand and cast doubt on the campaign's purpose. Timing is also a key factor. Fans are eagerly awaiting the re-recorded versions of Reputation as well as Swift's debut album. Should the deal close before its release, it might reduce fan excitement and shift perceptions of the rerecording project's sincerity. No official statements have been made by Swift or her team regarding the offer yet.

Travis Scott slammed by Cody Rhodes in WrestleMania
Rapper Travis Scott made a shocking appearance during the WrestleMania 41 main event, but it didn't end well for him. As Cody Rhodes battled John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship, Scott interfered in the match — only to get dropped by a Cross Rhodes. The drama unfolded on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where Cody Rhodes and John Cena headlined Night 2 of WrestleMania 41. During the chaotic closing moments of the match, Scott's track 'FE!N' blared through the arena speakers as he walked down the ramp to a stunned crowd. After previously aligning with Cena and The Rock during the Elimination Chamber, Scott played the role of disruptor once again. He pulled the referee out of the ring just as Rhodes was about to secure a win. Moments later, Scott entered the ring to confront Rhodes and attempted to slap him. However, 'The American Nightmare' had the last word. Cody caught the slap attempt and delivered his signature Cross Rhodes to the hip-hop star, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The moment was a callback to Elimination Chamber, where Scott slapped Rhodes as Cena and The Rock turned heel. WWE fans on social media quickly reacted to the WrestleMania moment, with 'CROSS RHODES' trending immediately after the segment. Travis Scott's involvement added a wild celebrity twist to an already intense rivalry between Cena and Rhodes, ending with Cody getting a measure of revenge before ultimately losing the championship to Cena later in the match.
