The singer, 40, used his last monologue as guest host to introduce the song that included insulting tweets from social media users. "I want to say thank you to Jimmy and his staff. I cannot believe y'all let me in here. I can't believe I was invited. I thought I would have had to break in if I ever made it here," he said. "And most of all, I want to thank my fans. I literally would not be who I am without you. Truly, truly amazing. Truly amazing. Well, most of you." He then said that not everyone is nice. "But you know what? I've never been the one to let my haters get me down. So tonight I'm gonna debut my brand new single," he said. He sang lines like, "I used to hate Jelly Roll. I still do," and "Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone." The "Mean Tweets" segment has previously featured stars such as Chris Rock, George Clooney, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway. Jelly Roll's album Beautifully Broken arrived in October. He teamed up with Alex Warren for the song "Bloodline," which arrived in May. He has also been nominated for four MTV Video Music Awards.

Whoopi Goldberg Unveils Sudden Style Switch-Up in Grand Return to the Academy Awards After Almost a Decade
Whoopi Goldberg is officially back at the Oscars. The View co-host, who won the award for Best Supporting Actress for Ghost in 1990, stepped out wearing a shiny navy blue dress that featured a wide floor-length skirt, a form-fitting waist and folds of fabric that wrapped across her chest. 🎬 🎬 The gown was long enough to obscure Goldberg's shoes as she stood casually while posing for the photographers who were lined up along the red carpet, her hands dipped inside what appeared to be pockets on the outer edges of her skirt. Goldberg, who has hosted the Oscars four times throughout her illustrious career, hasn't been seen on the storied stage since she presented the segment for the Honorary Academy Awards and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2016. She was, however, seen in 2017's Mean Tweets segment, and presented at the Governors Awards, the year following. While the categories each presenter will cover are usually kept quiet by the Academy, according to Entertainment Weekly, Goldberg was expected to "appear on stage during a ceremony where her fellow Ghost star Demi Moore is widely expected to win Best Actress for her role in the 2024 body-horror masterpiece The Substance"—meaning the award for Actress in a Leading Role, in which Moore is up against Karla Sofía Gascón, Fernanda Torres, Mikey Madison, and Cynthia Erivo. The actress previously won her first-ever Golden Globe for the role and is widely favored to win, though Erivo's fans are crossing their fingers, as this win for her would make her the youngest ever to achieve EGOT status. Goldberg achieved EGOT status in 2002 after winning a Tony for Thoroughly Modern Millie. Other presenters include Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz, and the four big acting winners from last year, among others: Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Emma Stone. Next:
