Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Alice In Chains among artists who reportedly used COVID grant for parties, travel and luxury items
Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Alice in Chains are reportedly among the artists who spent US tax-payer funded COVID relief grants on luxury items, travel, and parties.The funding, called the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, was signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2020, and aimed to subsidise musicians and venues who were impacted by pandemic-related closures.Now, a new report from Business Insider has found that a handful of big artists, including Wayne, Brown and Alice in Chains claimed millions from the grant before spending it in lavish ways.The publication reveals that Wayne received $8.9million from the tax-payer-funded grant, spending over $1.3million on private-jet flights and over $460,000 on clothes and accessories, including many from luxury brands like Gucci and Balenciaga.The rapper reportedly put $175,000 towards “a music festival promoting his marijuana brand, GKUA” as well as “flights and luxury hotel rooms for women whose connection to Lil Wayne’s touring operation was unclear, including a waitress at a Hooters-type restaurant and a porn actress.”Insider also alleges that Wayne claimed $88,000 for a concert in Coachella, California that he didn’t end up performing at. They report that, when reaching out to him via text to comment, Wayne responded with “a sexually explicit overture to a reporter and did not respond to questions.”Elsewhere, the artist and athlete management firm NKSFB received at least $207million in grant money, of which they took $7million.

‘SNL’ cast cheekily praises Trump in first post-election cold open: ‘We have been with you all along’
The cast of Saturday Night Live cheekily pledged their allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump and claimed they all voted for him in the first cold open since Tuesday’s historic election.The skit began with cast members solemnly discussing how Trump’s win over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris would be “shocking” and “horrifying” for many of the liberal-leaning show’s viewers.They then said that Trump might seek “vengeance” against political opponents, leading long-time cast member Kenan Thompson to say, “We at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along.”“We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you,” Bowen Yang said sarcastically, followed by each of the main cast members talking about how much they love, and have always loved, the president-elect.“Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost then said that fellow anchor Michael Che is the only person against Trump.“I hate how the lamestream media, Michael Che, has to spin it to make you look foolish,” he said.Dana Carvey – who previously appeared as President Joe Biden – showed up to the stage portraying Elon Musk.“Check it out dark MAGA,” Carvey said while jumping up and down.“But seriously, I run the country now.”Comedian Bill Burr hosted the late-night show and gave an opening comedy monologue in which he roasted both Harris and Trump.Burr, during his 15-minute long monologue, said he was “psyched” the election is over, leaning into Harris and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for wearing pants suits during their failed political runs against Trump.“Ladies, enough with the pantsuits; it’s not working,” Burr said.“Stop trying to have respect for yourselves.

Aaron Sorkin calls Biden dropping out of presidential race a ‘West Wing’ moment as cast visits White House
With President Joe Biden away from the White House, it was left Friday to another man with Oval Office experience to stand at the front of the Rose Garden and give a rousing call to service.Martin Sheen and others from the cast of “The West Wing,” the hit drama about a liberal president and his staff, were invited by first lady Jill Biden for an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the show.Sheen exhorted the crowd to find something worth fighting for, “something deeply personal and uncompromising, something that can unite the will of the spirit with the work of the flesh.”His voice and hands rose, his cadence matching perfectly that of President Jed Bartlet, the character Sheen played for seven seasons.“When we find that, we will discover fire for the second time, and then we will be able to help lift up this nation and all its people to that place where the heart is without fear, and their head is held high,” Sheen said.“The West Wing” remains a favorite of many who now work in Washington, both liberal and conservative. Among those spotted in the Rose Garden were House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Joe Walsh, once a tea party-aligned Illinois congressman who is now a sharp critic of former President Donald Trump and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.Asked to name his favorite character, Walsh replied, “I’m partial to Martin Sheen because I want to be president one day.” (Walsh ran and lost a longshot Republican primary challenge to Trump in 2020.)It was clear in the speeches and the party’s touches that at least a few “West Wing” fans work in the White House.There was the US Marine Band playing the opening notes to the show’s theme as Biden and the cast walked out.

Why Trump’s ‘gross mishandling’ of classified info should alarm U.S. allies
Donald Trump found himself looking at something he had no clearance to see.Spilled on the floor of a storage room at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and estate — a room easily accessible from the pool patio, and near a liquor supply closet and other high-traffic areas — were allegedly the contents of several boxes of documents Trump had brought to Florida from Washington at the end of his presidency.The boxes had been moved into the storage room from other parts of the club, including a ballroom and bathroom, at Trump’s direction the previous summer, according to a federal indictment that was unsealed Friday.That indictment says one of the documents on the floor was marked “SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY” — a classification marking that indicated the information could only be viewed by intelligence agencies within the Five Eyes alliance of Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.The aide, Walt Nauta, took two pictures of the mess with his phone and texted another employee of Trump, with the Five Eyes-only document in full view, the indictment states.“I opened the door and found this…” Nauta is quoted as having texted.“Oh no oh no,” the employee texted back.Trump’s alleged withholding of that document is one of the 37 federal criminal charges he’s now facing, accusing him of illegally retaining classified government documents after leaving the White House and then conspiring to obstruct a federal probe of the matter.Nauta, who worked for Trump at the White House and Mar-a-Lago, faces six counts in the case for allegedly helping to hide some of the sought-after materials and making false statements to investigators.The indictment presents a series of stunning examples of how Trump appears to have handled
