Several celebrities are ready to say goodbye to Twitter following Elon Musk’s takeover!

Well, it happened. Elon Musk actually took ownership of Twitter. We’d love to say everyone was worried over nothing, but… certainly some big changes are already afoot. And they’re not exactly reassuring.

Elon Musk, who just took over Twitter in a $44 billion leveraged buyout, sought to allay fears about the direction of the social media company by saying it is forming a content moderation council.

A cryptic tweet by Elon Musk and late-night purge of top executives closed Twitter’s takeover saga as chaotically as it began, with no formal announcement just a four-word post by the self-declared Chief Twit — “the bird is freed.”

Whoa!

Megan The Stallion guest hosted for "Saturday Night Live" on NBC in an episode that included jokes about the ongoing House Select Committee Investigating the Capitol Riot on Jan 6 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The 27-year-old rapper and performer, known for her flair and flashy costumes, wore a near-see-through mesh suit when she welcomed the live audience. The episode's first sketch started with veterans Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner depicting members of the Democratic-led House Jan 6 Committee.

“January 6th was one of the most dramatic and consequential moments in our nation’s history,” proclaimed Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) as portrayed tonight on Saturday Night Live once again by Kenan Thompson. “So, to fight back, we assembled a team of monotone nerds to do a Power Point,” the long time cast member added as fellow SNLers played Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and soon-to-be departing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), with the latter in the form of Heidi Gardner.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Saturday Night Live” opened its third episode of the season by taking on Jan. 6 committee hearings, starting  Kenan Thompson as United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS). And the theme of the sketch was quite simple: No matter how bad the attempts to stage a coup and overthrow the nation were, there’s no accountability in this country… and nothing will ultimately come of it. Donald Trump will roam free, there’s little chance he’ll actually live up to the subpoena to appear in front of the committee, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Liz Cheney, played by Heidi Gardner,  noted that “Over the past few months, this bipartisan committee has presented our case to all Americans. Whether you’re a Republican who’s not watching or a Democrat who’s nodding so hard your head is falling off, one person is responsible for this insurrection: Donald Trump. And one person will suffer the consequences: Me. You might be wondering what makes me so tough. And I asked you who was your dad? … You could say I have big Dick Cheney energy.”

Jamie Lee Curtis says social media is bad for people's mental health.

New footage from January 6, 2021, shows a candid moment where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened to physically strike then-President Trump, should he have joined those protesting at the Capitol. In the video, which was publicly shared Thursday, Pelosi admits the actions could have resulted in her going to prison — a consequence she said she would "be happy" to accept. "I hope he comes, I’m going to punch him out," Pelosi tells her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough, who discourages her boss from making the comments.
