"Mona Lisa," the diss track dedicated to the classic Renaissance paintingSeth Meyers thought this Lonely Island song was sick. During the May 20 episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the talk show host chatted with The Lonely Island members Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer (Jorma Taccone was not present) about the satirical song "Mona Lisa" that was cut from the 2016 movie Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. At the start of the episode, Meyers, 51, mentioned how bummed he was to miss out on Dennis Franz appearing on the previous podcast episode to chat about NYPD Blue. "I kinda couldn't believe you guys talked about Dennis Franz for that long and didn't mention that the Dennis Franz line is the hardest I've ever laughed at a Lonely Island [song]," Meyers said of "Mona Lisa," adding that he thinks about the song "all the time." "I'm really happy sometimes because the run of lyrics that starts, 'I'm an American,' is maybe my favorite series of lines," he continued. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"I'm an American man/this is my native land/Where no one lies about paintings/But that's not the case in France/Where the naked ladies dance/And they look like Dennis Franz," Samberg's Conner4Real sings in the diss track dedicated to the Leonardo da Vinci painting. "You, I think, more than anyone I know like that song," Samberg, 46, said, "And people like that song but you like it — it maybe is your favorite of our songs." The late-night host also noted that his admiration of the song also ties into the first time he heard it with then-Saturday Night Live producer Mike Shoemaker. "The lore about 'Mona Lisa' is that you sent it to Shoemaker and I. We were in my office, and we laughed so hard that I threw up and he farted," Meyers said. "I literally started choking and threw up into my trash can, and he farted." Though Meyers' favorite Lonely Island track didn't make it to the movie itself, it is part of the soundtrack. The Lonely Island came to be during Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone's tenure on Saturday Night Live starting in 2005. The Grammy-nominated group is known for hits including "Motherlover," "Dick in a Box," "Lazy Sunday," "I'm on a Boat," "Like a Boss" and "I Just Had Sex." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here!

Kylie Minogue, 56, looks sensational in skin tight electric blue PVC ensemble as she takes to the stage in Glasgow for the first night of Tension tour in UK
Kylie Minogue looked incredible in a skin tight electric blue ensemble as she began the European leg of her world tour. The Australian singer, 56, brought her Tension tour to Glasgow on Friday night with a performance at the city's OVO Hydro arena. Kylie's glam for the occasion certainly didn't disappoint excited fans, with the iconic popstar rocking an all-blue PVC look. The figure-hugging outfit showed off the 56-year-old's sensational physique as Kylie sported a pair of skin-tight leather pants and matching top with mesh sleeves. The star completed the look with matching leather blue heels and gloves as she gave fans a selection of the hits. The Tension tour has so far seen Kylie perform across the globe in Australia, Asia and the United States. The North American leg marked the Aussie's first-ever US arena run, with Kylie set to perform 13 shows in the UK in the coming weeks including four dates at the 02. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK, but has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam. In the past, Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on Stateside didn't phase her and she enjoyed her anonymity there. However, her record label revealed in 2023 the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market. Padam Padam and follow-up album Tension helped turn her fortunes around in America and landed her a Grammy, a second number one on the US Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and a Las Vegas residency. Speaking about her lack of success in the US Kylie said in 2022 she had 'resigned myself to the fact that America wouldn't be like the rest of the world for me. I'm anonymous there — which, I must confess, I kind of like.' As well as telling The Express in 2009: 'It doesn't frustrate me [not cracking America]... frustrating being asked about it, the assumption it's something really missing in my career and life.' 'It just so happens I live in London and my time is spent more throughout Europe... the U.S.A. has remained at arm's length.' While discussing her plans to crack America Jamie Nelson, SVP of U.K. Recordings at Minogue's label BMG, confirmed to Variety in 2023 the label were 'confident' Padam Padam would do well. 'It's now flipping into an area that's unprecedented,' he said, crediting TikTok and social media for the song's viral success. The beloved pop princess first took to the stage at Rod Laver Arena (previously the National Tennis Centre) back in 1990. She has since moved into acting and has also starred as a judge on Britain's Got Talent on a number of occasions.

Drake said 'No Friends in the Industry,' he meant it—Rapper shuts down DJ Khaled's feature claims
DJ Khaled's grand announcement for his 14th studio album, Aalam of God , has vanished from the internet after Drake shut down claims of being featured on two tracks. The We The Best mogul had dropped a cinematic seven-minute trailer starring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Ramos, hyping up his latest project and tagging Drake in the caption. 'FYI… DRAKE'S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH [2] DRAKES!' he wrote. However, Drake swiftly dismissed the claim, leaving a now-viral comment: 'Must be @drakebell,' referencing the former Nickelodeon star from Drake & Josh . YIKES… Drake does NOT approve the 2 records for DJ Khaled's album. Khaled has now deleted his entire album announcement/7 min trailer. 😭😭😭😭 — King Jared (@certifiedjared) Khaled's post, which originally hinted at the rapper's involvement, was quickly deleted after the response, sparking speculation across social media. Fans were quick to react, with many praising Drake's newfound energy. Drake Bell Ft DJ Khaled *LEAK**** — Kermit (@BKid704) 'Drake in his villain era and I love it!!!!' one user tweeted. Another joked, 'No more Drake stimulus package for him,' referring to Khaled's history of using Drake collaborations to secure chart-topping hits. Some questioned what Khaled might have done to land in Drake's bad books, especially given their long history of collaborations, from 'I'm On One' to 'Popstar.' No more Drake stimulus package for him — iamdchairman (@tobijubril_) Drake's response has only fueled speculation that his relationship with Khaled may have soured, particularly after the rapper's recent fallout with Kendrick Lamar. when drake said no friends in the industry he really meant it he cut ties with kanye kendrick abel future metro rick ross and dj khaled — blonded (@Khalednxtdoor) Many fans pointed out that Khaled remained silent during Drake's highly publicized feud, possibly leading to a rift. 'After everything that's happened, the opps now want Drake's help. Nah, stay on that side,' a user tweeted, while another added, 'Khaled shows everyone love. Drake making people choose sides is childish.' After everything that's happened, The opps now wants Drake's help, nah nigga stay on that side now 😂 — BOSS DADDY (@maduchi19) Drake upset that DJ Khaled didn't speak during the beef. Bro that man didn't even speak up for his own country — King Wow (@wowthatshiphop) Khaled has a long-standing tradition of hyping up his albums with major collaborations, and this isn't the first time he's teased Drake's involvement. During Drake's It's All a Blur Tour in September 2023, he famously held up a massive sign that read, 'I have 2 Drake songs on my new album—coming 2024.' The two last worked together in 2022 on 'Staying Alive' from Khaled's God Did . With Khaled now wiping his entire album announcement, it's unclear whether the Drake features were real or if plans changed behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Drake is focused on his Anita Max Win Tour , currently making stops in Australia and New Zealand.
