Anthony Anderson reacts to Donald Trump wanting to host UFC fight at White House: 'You f---ing crazy?'
Anthony Anderson has some thoughts on Donald Trump wanting to host a UFC fight at the White House next year. While guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday, the Black-ish star reacted to the president's announcement last week that he is considering holding a fighting match on White House grounds in honor of the United States' 250th anniversary next year. To which Anderson quipped, 'UFC, which stands for: you f---ing crazy?' But, honestly, the actor wasn't exactly opposed to the idea of two people duking it out on the White House lawn — and knew exactly who it should be. 'I actually agree with the president,' Anderson noted. 'There should be a UFC fight at the White House between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.' He couldn't help but imagine the 79-year-old Republican politician and tech billionaire's potential face-off. 'It'll be Golf 'Clubber Lang' versus the Ketamine Machine bitch slapping each other in the octagon. Who's with me?' Anderson said, riffing off the names of Mr. T's character in Rocky III and Tommy Morrison's character in Rocky V. 'Now that would make America great again.' Trump, who is friends with UFC president Dana White, floated the idea of a celebratory UFC match in honor of the U.S.'s milestone anniversary while speaking in Iowa last week. 'Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White?' Trump told the crowd, per the BBC. 'We're going to have a UFC fight. We're going to have a UFC fight - think of this - on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to confirm the fight is on in a July 4th X post, writing, 'It's going to be EPIC!' In the wake of Trump's announcement, former UFC champion Conor McGregor expressed his desire to get involved in the action. 'Happy 4th of July, USA,' he wrote on X. 'Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!' Watch Anderson react to the UFC fight in the video above.

Penélope Cruz Highlights Chanel's Textured Tailoring at the Brand's Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
An ambassador for Chanel since 2018, Penélope Cruz attended the fashion house's fall 2025 couture collection show during Paris Couture Week on Tuesday, wearing a look from the brand. The Oscar-winning actress donned a Chanel jacket, featuring a tailored silhouette with allover shimmering details intricately woven into the fabric. Cruz's outfit also included a black jacket with off-white trim and pearl detailing, along with sinuous cuffs and subtle pinstripe lines of sparkling details. The actress carried a Chanel quilted bag and wore a pair of black heels to complete her ensemble. More from WWD Hailee Steinfeld Embraces Bold Cutouts and Dramatic Bows in Sheer Dress for Tamara Ralph Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris Hailee Steinfeld Gives Classic Hollywood an Edge in Dior Pumps at Tamara Ralph's Fall 2025 Couture Show Penélope Cruz Holds Court in Purple Chanel, Diane Kruger Goes Ethereal in Alberta Ferretti and More at Les Arts Décoratifs Ball The actress' shimmering black suit, part of Chanel's cruise 2026 collection, made its runway debut last April. The Villa d'Este hotel in Italy served as the backdrop for the collection's showcase, featuring designs that paid homage to the Romy Schneider wearing Gabrielle Chanel designs in his 1962 movie 'Boccaccio 70,' per Luisa Zargani's WWD review of the collection. Highlights from the collection included 'tweed miniskirts in a beautiful wisteria hue that matched the blooms on the terrace, for example, and short taffeta dresses in a peach or pink color with flounces and ruffles — although at times the frilly effect could have been toned down a bit,' Zargani added. The collection marked a turning point for the French luxury fashion house. Matthieu Blazy, who spent much of his formative years at Bottega Veneta, was named Chanel's creative director in December 2024. The designer's first collection for the label will be featured in October. As of last April, the designer is reportedly assembling his team. Ahead of the fall 2025 couture show, guests from Sofia Coppola to Cruz, Keira Knightley and more kicked off Paris Couture Week with the Bal d'Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs on Sunday in Paris. Cruz also wore a Chanel selection from the label's spring 2025 couture collection to the fete.

Cowboys Fans Marvel At Joe Milton 'Dime' Video While Questioning Dak Prescott
Cowboys Fans Marvel At Joe Milton 'Dime' Video While Questioning Dak Prescott originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - In football, the most popular guy in town is always the backup quarterback. As Dallas Cowboys training camp approaches, Joe Milton is feeling that love now. Advertisement But how long will the feeling last? And what does being the new No. 2 QB, Joe Milton, have to do with posing a threat to the starting job of Dak Prescott? Fans who know how good Cooper Rush was filling in for Prescott are now giddy about the prospects of Milton. Some fans and analysts even predicted that the Cowboys would have a new starter this season. However, regarding Dallas' plan ... those fans and analysts are wrong. Much of the wild speculation is based on Prescott's nine seasons – good ones when healthy – vs. one single game by Milton. He starred in a meaningless regular-season finale for the New England Patriots in 2024, throwing and running for touchdowns. Advertisement At 25 and with dual-threat athleticism, Cowboys fans – and some media – immediately began singing Milton's praises this offseason. Some of the wildest rumors even predicted the Cowboys would trade Prescott to the Cleveland Browns and give the starting job to Milton before a single training-camp snap. Prescott is in the prime of his career. As the highest-paid player in NFL history, smart critics can agree it's time for him to deliver at the very least a winning playoff run. But is Milton threatening to take his job? Nope. But what about the marvel of these videos showing him running, spinning, backflipping and throwing a "dime"? Advertisement Politely ... Nope. The Cowboys signed Prescott to an extension through 2028 in September, making him the highest-paid quarterback in the game. There is an "escape hatch" after the 2027 season. Want a major change? You'll have to wait until then. Prescott is under immense pressure to stay healthy, perform as a top-10 quarterback and lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff wins this season. Highlights aside, "Bazooka" Milton is projected to have very little to do with that.
