Seth Meyers Actually Agrees With Trump's Latest Boast, But For A Brutal Reason
The president this weekend — while defending himself from the MAGA base's fury over his administration's handling of files linked to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein ― boasted on his Truth Social platform:
'We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD.'
Meyers had thoughts.
'Yeah,' the 'Late Night' host initially agreed.
But then he added: 'That's not why everyone's talking about it. That's like saying, 'Everyone is watching 'Love Island' because it's so free of controversy.''
Meyers also mocked Trump's gate-crashing of English soccer side Chelsea's lifting of the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and his addition of more gold embellishments to the Oval Office.

Carney confirms possibility of lumber quotas in trade deal with the United States
HAMILTON — Prime Minister Mark Carney says any future trade deal with the United States could include "some element of managed trade," including quotas, on softwood lumber exports. Carney's comments come after B.C. Premier David Eby told Bloomberg News that the federal government has been speaking with the provinces about quotas to resolve the softwood lumber dispute. The prime minister says he's been in close contact with Eby about the softwood file, adding that resolving the conflict is a "top priority" as the United States prepares to double various duties to 34.45 per cent. Canada and the United States have been without a softwood lumber agreement since 2015, and Eby has previously said that resolving the dispute could "build momentum" for a larger, more comprehensive trade deal. U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat is to impose 35 per cent tariffs by Aug. 1 on Canadian goods currently not compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Carney says he agrees with Eby's idea of resolving the softwood lumber dispute as part of a larger trade deal, but notes that both issues are unfolding along different times lines. — with files from David Baxter This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 16, 2025.

NEED TO KNOW Amid her ongoing treatment for cancer, Teddi Mellencamp is turning to social media to crowdsource opinions about her wig options "Two wigs, same level of exhaustion," she wrote in part The 44-year-old's cancer diagnosis started as melanoma, which metastasized to her brain and lungsAmid her ongoing treatment for stage 4 cancer, Teddi Mellencamp is consciously seeking out the highlights – literally. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 15, to crowdsource opinions from her 1.2 million followers about her blonde versus brunette wigs. Hundreds of supportive messages have since poured in. "Two wigs, same level of exhaustion," she wrote beneath side-by-side selfies modeling the two options, followed up with a measure of levity: "Which color would you prefer send you a 3-minute-long voice note?" The 44-year-old was first diagnosed with melanoma, which metastasized to her brain and lungs. In April, the mother of three shared a glimmer of positive news online, writing that the tumors had "shrunk or disappeared," with treatment.

"Last time, they had checked solely my brain, and those tumors are shrinking. And then today I had the scan, where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it," she said in an episode of her Two Ts In a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge podcast, adding she's set to undergo additional immunotherapy for the next two years.

Emmys milestones: Kathy Bates makes history, Harrison Ford gets his due
The familiar faces amongst the 77th Emmy Award nominations are, in many cases, first-timers while others are making history for their contributions to the small screen's latest season. Marquee names and shows alike have milestones to celebrate after Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song announced the nominees on Tuesday for the Sept. 14 ceremony hosted by Nate Bargatze. Below, a roundup of milestones in the latest crop of contenders: Kathy Bates makes history as the oldest performer nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama Kathy Bates, a 15-time Emmy nominee and two-time winner, is certainly no stranger to awards, among them an Oscar win for 1990's 'Misery' and three subsequent nods from 1999 to 2020. But it's the role of Madeline 'Matty' Matlock in the CBS series 'Matlock' — not to be confused with the original Andy Griffith-led legal drama, though it's referenced in the remake — that snagged Bates her first Emmy nomination in nearly a decade, and at 77 years old. Bates, last nominated in 2016 for 'American Horror Story: Hotel,' now takes the title of the oldest lead drama actress nominee from the late Angela Lansbury, who was nominated at age 70 for 'Murder, She Wrote,' Variety reports. 'The Studio' is doing double time with record-breaking nominations Apple TV+'s 'The Studio,' starring Seth Rogen as the new head of a Hollywood studio, is tapped for 23 nominations total, making it the most-nominated freshman comedy series, according to Variety. That crown was previously worn by the streamer's 'Ted Lasso' and the 20 nominations it earned from its first season. 'The Studio' is also now tied with FX and Hulu's 'The Bear' for the most-nominated comedy. Beyoncé and Jay-Z will face off Husband and wife collaborators-turned-competitors Beyoncé and Jay-Z are both up for Outstanding Variety Special (Live). The former is tapped as both executive producer and performer for Netflix's 'Beyoncé Bowl,' her Christmas Day NFL halftime show, while the latter is nominated for executive producing Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Beyoncé also helmed 'Beyoncé Bowl,' for which she scored a nod for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special. Harrison Ford earns his first Emmy nomination Harrison Ford may have conquered space, androids and temples of doom, but the Emmys have remained an untapped frontier until now. Just two days after ringing in his 83rd birthday, Ford, who currently stars in the 'Yellowstone' spinoff '1923,' was tapped for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his work as Paul in 'Shrinking,' another Apple TV+ offering. Other first-time Emmy nominees include 'Severance' breakouts Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry and Britt Lower; 'Nobody Wants This' stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody; and Academy Award-winning filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, as well as Zoë Kravitz and Anthony Mackie, who all appeared as themselves in 'The Studio.'
