SNL's Trump: "People are asking why we had to strike in the early hours of Saturday... One, it's after the stock market closes for the weekend. And two, it's to cause immeasurable fear, rage, and chaos in the SNL writers room.

I selected 14 essential Neil Sedaka songs for the New York Times, balancing his effervescent early hits with his lush '70s comeback.

Let's all send out healing vibes to Kate Beckinsale. It appears she's going through a rough patch as evidenced by a nearly entire wipe of her IG after some concerning posts. We all deserve love, no hate and no judgement π

Breaking News:
The U.S. won its first Olympic gold in 46 years in a 2-1 overtime thriller over rival Canada. A brilliant performance by U.S. goaltender Connor Hellebuyck saved the Americans' chances.

Guess who's just popped in! The lovely Michael Sheen, currently starring in Our Town- a new Welsh adaptation of Thornton Wilder's masterpiece- was kind enough to visit and sign some copies of his children's book, Spark The Dragon, for us. Although the production is currently sold out at Theatr Clwyd, his performance is wonderful, and we highly recommend you watch this wherever you can!
What does your friend and mine Michael Sheen do when he's in Mold, Wales? Pop into the local bookshop and affix his signature to Spark The Dragon.
