Ellen DeGeneres confirms Trump provoked UK move: It's 'just better'
Ellen DeGeneres is making a rare political comment regarding the motivation behind her move from the United States – and it's about President Donald Trump. The former talk show host, in her first public event since leaving the U.S., confirmed Trump was the catalyst for her move with wife Portia de Rossi to the English countryside, according to the BBC and the Guardian. "We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, '(Trump) got in,'" DeGeneres said during a conversation event in South West England on Sunday, July 20. "And we're like, 'We're staying here.'" DeGeneres and de Rossi bought a house in Cotswolds, England, in 2024, following her Last Stand…Up Tour, according to the outlets. The couple had originally planned for the home to be a "part-time house" where they would spend three to four months out of the year, but made the move permanent after the 2024 election. "It's clean. Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here," she added. DeGeneres joined fellow comedian Rosie O'Donnell in a move from the U.S. post-Trump election. O'Donnell announced in late 2024 that she had moved to Ireland, and her comments regarding her exit have reignited her longstanding feud with Trump. Donald Trump threatens to revoke longtime foe Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship In a Truth Social post July 12, Trump said that "because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship." The president does not have constitutional power to revoke citizenship. In response, O'Donnell posted a picture of Trump and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, asking if he is "rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours." Rosie O'Donnell slams Donald Trump as 'tangerine Mussolini' as feud escalates And in November, Eva Longoria revealed she no longer lives in America full-time, telling Marie Claire in an interview: "I'm privileged. I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren't so lucky. They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them."

The Coldplay concert affair captivated the internet. But is it time to move on?
Unless you are living under a rock, you've likely heard the news about that recent Coldplay concert. When a kiss-cam panned to two concert-goers in a loving embrace, only for them to try and quickly conceal their identities. The internet (and journalists) found them quickly – employees at data tech company Astronomer, one whom is the CEO and has since resigned. The incident sparked many online and offline conversations and memes. Were the two having an affair? Didn't they know they'd eventually get caught? Why would they risk going out in public together? Is this the first time a jumbotron exposed an affair, let alone at a Coldplay concert? Posts on X included: "Sorry I can't, I'm busy liking all the Coldplay affair tweets I missed today because I was at my stupid job." "The seemingly infinite unfolding lore of the Coldplay affair couple has kept me entertained for an entire morning." Then again, others noted that these are real people. They have real lives and face real consequences. The CEO resigned over this, after all. Maybe it's time to move on. Media and psychology experts say it's not uncommon to obsess over others' cringey moments and mistakes because it makes us feel better about ourselves. It's a phenomenon called schadenfreude − when we find pleasure, joy and satisfaction in others' troubles, failures or pain − that ultimately reveals more about us than them. "There seems to be a narrative thread that we like watching people make this climb to wealth and status," Robert Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at the Newhouse School of Public Communications Syracuse University, previously told USA TODAY. "But once they actually get there, one of the only narrative threads left is to watch them fall. And we do get a lot of schadenfreude pleasure out of that if you look at a lot of the examples of stories we tell." But it's worth pausing and reflecting before letting your gossip session spiral too far. More details: Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigns after viral Coldplay concert 'Kiss Cam' video 'Endless repeating cycle of controversy' There's another psychological theory beyond schadenfreude, called "social comparison," that can explain our love for this drama, Elizabeth Cohen, associate professor at West Virginia University, previously told USA TODAY. Downward social comparison is when you consume media solely to look down on others, a behavior that tends to dominate the social media landscape. 'Social media activity is an endless repeating cycle of controversy, outrage and our sacred right to say whatever we want about whoever we want with no consequences,' David Schmid, an associate professor of English at the University at Buffalo, previously told USA TODAY. 'Once we've chewed (a person) up and spat them out, we'll move to someone else, and so it goes on, ad nauseam, at a pace dictated by our ever-shrinking attention span.' In case you missed: TikTok of couple caught on camera at Coldplay concert goes viral. The internet is determined to find 'cheaters.' Why? 'Our desire and hunger for [celebrity culture] never ends' Some gossip is inevitable. Everyone spends part of their day being unproductive – it's OK if yours involves gossiping about celebrities, even the social media kind. When it comes to celebrity culture, "our desire and hunger for it never ends," said Erica Chito Childs, the Interim Ruth and Harold Newman Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Hunter College. But people are better off focusing their energy on positive rather than negative messaging. "When you're engaging more of this hypercritical speculation on people's lives, who you don't even know, whether it's celebrities, or it's your neighbors, it's having the same impact," Chito Childs explained. "It's a negative thing." But this type of speculation won't stop as long as social media and celebrity culture remains intact. The same goes for those who turn into celebrities overnight in viral videos. "Being a celebrity means carrying a giant target on your back for people's psychological projections," W. Keith Campbell, an expert on narcissism, personality, and cultural change, previously told USA TODAY. "Sometimes those can be great but sometimes those can be really negative."

In Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe, the King Of The Monsters returns to stomp us, again
Godzilla has had one hell of a run. His famed Japanese franchise has produced 38 movies over 70 years with a merchandise and media bonanza that continues to reap profits. The King Of The Monsters has also invaded the comics realm—there was a 12-year run from Dark Horse between 1987 and 1999, followed by IDW's consistent series and one-shots that have been released since 2011. It makes sense that Marvel Comics would want to get a piece of the action with their recent one-shot crossovers and new Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe five-issue event. This isn't the first time Marvel has tried to capitalize on Godzilla's popularity: The comics titan released the first American Godzilla comics series between 1977 and 1979. The kaiju king was tied into the Marvel Universe with the immediate appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the debut issue, with some superhero teams (notably, the Champions, Fantastic Four, and Avengers) woven into the narrative after that. Additionally, the original series gave us the first appearances of Dr. Demonicus, Red Ronin, and Devil Dinosaur. The first issue of the new, five-part Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe series pits the gargantuan, nuclear-breathed lizard against many of Marvel's mightiest. It's clearly taking cues from his superhero battles at the end of the original '70s run. But whereas those kaiju clashes had a more dramatic tone, this latest incarnation—humorously scripted by Gerry Duggan (Deadpool, Marauders) and dynamically drawn by Javier Garrón (X-Men, Avengers)—combines the sense of awe and wonder at Godzilla smashing up NYC while injecting tongue-in-cheek superhero banter. Right away, it's the Mole Man's fault. His minions mine a rare type of vibranium for use in a weapon whose powerful blasts unwittingly awaken a slumbering Celestial and Godzilla. The two titans tussle at the southern tip of Manhattan, and Godzilla comes out on top. After that, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers team up to try to stop the stomp—emphasis on 'try.' This is Godzilla we're talking about. The mighty, blustery Thor thinks it'll be a piece of cake until he gets tail-swatted into outer space. When The Thing sees a giant lizard foot looming over the FF, he surmises, 'Looks like it's getting clobbered time.' Even the usually steely Captain America is befuddled when an attempt to fatally wound Godzilla fails. 'Today's really gonna stink,' he sighs, before hightailing it with Quicksilver. If you're looking for a deeper human interest story like the one presented in the recent hit movie Godzilla Minus One, it isn't there. With so many characters crammed into this issue—including a total of 18 superheroes by the last panel— there isn't room to elaborate on much more than the imminent threat to mankind. So far, this saga is all about the chaos and carnage and occasional wisecracks, and it delivers on that front. If you're a casual comics fan who likes kaiju, it might feel discombobulating to be tossed into the fray right away. Knowing Marvel shorthand makes it easier to dive into this series and its six one-shot predecessors, which emerged in the half-year-long buildup to this spectacle. Clearly, Duggan and Garrón know their audience, its demands, and the comics history of their material, so they quite literally cut to the chase at the start. Duggan also summons similar quippy humor from the earlier Spider-Man crossover to keep things moving—there's even a goofy J. Jonah Jameson cameo that recalls a funnier one from way back in Godzilla #23—then turns the tables by delivering a tragic moment during the last three pages. The six separate one-shots released earlier this year acted as a prelude to this new series, although they were not interconnected, and you don't need to have read them to appreciate this. But they serve up some interesting ideas and take place during different periods along the Marvel timeline. In the '60s-era Godzilla Vs. The Fantastic Four, King Ghidorah becomes the new herald to Galactus, and the Big G needs an infusion of the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic to take on the three-headed beast. In the late '70s-era Godzilla Vs. Hulk, the angry green giant's gamma-infused blood helps Godzilla battle a genetically engineered Hedorah. In the '80s-era Godzilla Vs. Spider-Man, Spidey's newly acquired symbiote suit infects Godzilla, who has to wage an inner battle with the alien parasite. Many revered Toho characters like Mothra, Jet Jaguar, and two Mechagodzillas also make appearances. These one-shots are relevant to Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe because the preview panel for the second issue presents an image of Godzilla's growling visage being consumed by Venom, and Spider-Man fans know that could reap disastrous consequences for the world if the symbiote succeeds this time. Thus, elements from these other stories, even the '70s run, may tie into the next four issues of this one. Perhaps Dr. Demonicus will return with another monster menagerie or Galactus will show up to wreak more havoc, tossing a cosmic monkey wrench into the mix. (Or perhaps a giant cosmic monkey?) In the '70s series, a young man named Rob Takaguchi was convinced of Godzilla's goodness and even managed to get him to stop rampaging in New York and peacefully disappear into the ocean. A narrative twist and different end game for our kaiju king might lie in the wings here. No matter how many times this colossal kaiju returns to decimate different urban landscapes, fans return for more. You can't keep an ornery kaiju down, and we really seem to like that. Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe #1 is available now. More from A.V.
