Stephen Colbert receives support from late night hosts after show cancellation sparks political backlash
Stephen Colbert was joined by several fellow late night hosts on Monday's The Late Show episode, marking his first appearance since announcing the show's upcoming welcomed surprise visits from Jimmy Fallon (The Tonight Show), Jon Stewart (The Daily Show), Seth Meyers (Late Night), and John Oliver (Last Week Tonight), showcasing late night solidarity in a time of upheaval. Stephen Colbert just showing CBS/Paramount what a huge mistake they're making (ratings and $ wise). Had Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al playing Coldplay to an audience of: Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, Adam Sandler and more… — Nadine Babu (@NadineBabu) July 22, 2025 The episode featured a satirical musical segment, parodying a recent viral Coldplay concert moment. Colbert enlisted 'Weird Al' Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to perform Viva La Vida as the camera panned to various celebrity cameos, including CNN's Anderson Cooper, Bravo's Andy Cohen, and actors Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald. The sketch ended abruptly after the camera landed on a cartoon of Donald Trump discarding the Paramount logo, prompting Colbert to joke: 'Your song has been cancelled.' Following the comedic sketch, Colbert shifted to a more pointed tone during his monologue, responding directly to Trump's reaction to the show's cancellation. Turning to the camera, he bluntly stated: 'Go f–k yourself.' He also dismissed Trump's prediction that Jimmy Kimmel would be next, adding, 'There's only room for one on this cross, and the view is fantastic from up here.' CBS previously stated the decision to cancel The Late Show was financially motivated and unrelated to content or performance. However, industry insiders speculate that Colbert's outspoken criticism of Trump may have played a role. The announcement follows CBS parent company Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump and its pending merger with Skydance Media. Colbert confirmed that The Late Show will officially conclude in May 2026, marking the end of his run after more than a decade. The news drew strong reactions across the entertainment industry, with late night hosts including Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers, and Oliver expressing their support and admiration for Colbert and his legacy in political comedy.

Coldplay fan reveals earnings from viral kiss cam video on TikTok with almost 125 million views
Grace Springer, the fan who recorded the now-famous Coldplay kiss cam clip involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, has revealed how much she earned after the video gained nearly 125 million views on TikTok. Speaking on the UK's 'This Morning,' she explained, 'I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views. It's not monetised.' The footage, taken during Coldplay's Spheres World Tour show at Gillette Stadium on July 16, shows Byron and Cabot reacting nervously when they appear on the big screen. Both quickly shift apart and cover their faces. From the stage, Chris Martin remarked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' before adding, 'Hope we didn't do something wrong.' Springer shared that she initially hoped to capture herself on camera for fun, but the unexpected moment took on a life of its own. 'There was over 50,000 people at the concert… it was a hot topic,' she said. 'But it wasn't until after the concert, where I was debriefing with my friends and I said 'Let's review the footage… and I think it does [look bad].'' Reflecting on the outcome, she said, 'I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process. But… if it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would have.' The viral moment led to Byron's resignation and an internal review involving Cabot. Both individuals appear to be married to other people.

Vtuber Ironmouse leaves VShojo, cites unpaid charity funds and emotional pressure in departure
Vtuber Ironmouse has officially left the talent agency VShojo, citing concerns about unpaid funds owed to both herself and the Immune Deficiency Foundation charity. In a recent YouTube video, she explained that while she is unable to disclose many details on legal advice, a significant amount of charity funds remain unpaid nearly a year after a fundraising campaign. Ironmouse, who lives with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), previously hosted subathons to support the Immune Deficiency Foundation. She confirmed that she and fellow content creator Connor 'CDawgVA' Colquhoun raised about $4 million for the organisation, largely through the Tiltify platform. Her most recent subathon, she said, raised $515,000, but 'a year later, VShojo has not paid the charity.' The Vtuber also claimed that her departure was met with emotional pressure. She stated that VShojo attempted to discourage her decision by suggesting it would negatively impact her friends and the team. Despite this, she emphasised her intent to continue streaming as an independent creator. All revenue generated from her announcement video, she said, will be donated to the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Additionally, she plans to host another charity live stream for the organisation later this month. Ironmouse expressed disappointment over the missing funds, noting, 'That's the thing that hurts me the most.' She has received support from fans and fellow Vtubers, with several community members echoing concerns about transparency in charity-related streams. She concluded her statement by encouraging continued support for the Immune Deficiency Foundation and emphasised that more details would be shared in due course, depending on legal developments.
