Published

Every Met Gala, it’s a high-fashion tradition for the night’s A-list attendees to huddle together for a legendary group bathroom selfie.

For context, look at this iconic shot Kylie Jenner shared from the 2017 Met Gala:

At first glance, the frame is packed with heavy hitters. You see three Kardashian-Jenners, A$AP Rocky, Brie Larson, Frank Ocean, and a dozen other instantly recognizable superstars.

But this year’s Met Gala bathroom selfie, snapped nearly a decade later, simply didn’t pack that same star power punch. It is honestly unfortunate, especially since the night had all the ingredients for an epic viral moment. Just look at the guest list who was in the building:

Kim Kardashian and her sisters are famous for their “break the internet” selfie energy:

The always vibrant and stylish Teyana Taylor was on the scene:

And the rising “It” girl Chase Infiniti would have been the perfect addition to a high-profile group photo.

In the official 2026 Met Gala bathroom group selfie, you can eventually pick out: BLACKPINK members Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Margot Robbie, model Bhavitha Mandava, Gracie Abrams, Rachel Sennott, Awar Odhiang, and Audrey Nuna.

The photo was taken by model Bhavitha, who sparked her own conversation by showing up to the prestigious Met Gala wearing jeans.

Once the photo hit the internet, fans rushed to social media to help identify everyone in Bhavitha’s snap, and the confusion was real:

Now, let’s be clear: this isn’t to say that BLACKPINK, Ayo, and Margot aren’t major icons. However, given the massive volume of A-list celebrities attending the event, this selfie had the potential to feature way more recognizable faces. While the group shot didn’t quite land, we did get some great candid moments, like this sweet photo of Chase Infiniti and Odessa A’zion.

Maybe the heavy hitters were just too busy for the yearly tradition, or perhaps the bathroom selfie trend is finally starting to lose its spark. Either way, it feels like a major missed opportunity for a historic pop culture moment.

What’s your take on this year’s Met Gala selfie? How many stars can you actually name?

Published

on

OK, this is it. They’ve finally done it: the wildest poll of all time!

YouGov recently asked Republicans and Democrats a very serious question: Could you physically beat up Donald Trump? They also asked them if they thought an 8-year-old boy could take him on.

For context, and for your consideration, Trump was just recently talking about his physical fitness.

During a recent event, he talked about his rigorous 1-minute daily workout routine, “I work out so much. Like, about one minute a day, max. If I’m lucky.”

In the past, he has also said, “I get exercise. I mean, I walk, I this, I that.”

And, as we all know, he runs on a steady diet of Diet Coke and McDonald’s.

Sooo, with all of that in mind, the results to the “can you beat Trump in a fight” poll are somewhat surprising:

The data speaks for itself, and it’s pretttty embarrassing. More Republicans say Trump could beat them in a fight, 39% to 33%, while Democrats are basically like no way, with 75% saying they’d win and just 5% giving Trump the victory.

In terms of the fight with an 8-year-old boy, 72% of Republicans said Donald Trump would win that one. On the other side, 54% of Democrats said the 8-year-old boy would win.

It got even wilder when you broke it down by gender.

According to the poll, Democratic women are over 20 points more likely to say they can beat Trump up compared to Republican men.

The responses are funny:

“There is a major crisis of lack of self-respect in the Republican party right now.”

“You’d just have to stay out of his reach for the whole forty seconds that it’d take him to get exhausted and fall over.”

Eric Trump Faces Backlash Over Donald Trump Airport Branding

Eric Trump faced an immediate and fierce wave of online backlash this Tuesday after debuting the fresh branding for the newly christened Donald J. Trump International Airport located in Palm Beach, Florida.

Posting via Elon Musk’s X platform, the second son of Donald Trump expressed that he felt “extremely proud” to reveal the official logo for the facility previously known as Palm Beach International Airport. The decision to rename the site has already ignited significant public debate, specifically due to its connection to a trademark agreement involving a Trump family business entity.

“There is no person more deserving of this incredible honor than @realDonaldTrump! Congratulations Dad!” Eric Trump shared in his post. “Looking forward to seeing flights landing at ‘DJT’ very very soon!”

@EricTrump / Via x.com

The communications department for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, wasted no time in responding to the social media update.

“Gas prices are up over 50% since your dad started a reckless war in Iran,” the governor’s team retorted. The office then added a sarcastic finishing blow: “But congrats on the airport logo. Huge accomplishment!”

@GovPressOffice / @EricTrump / Via x.com

Various other social media detractors joined the fray, mocking the airport’s updated visual identity by redesigning the logo to include references to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced figure who was once an associate of the former president.

CNN Fact Check Shows Trump Ballroom Less Popular Than Ghosts

Published

on

It appears that Donald Trump is physically incapable of staying silent regarding his controversial ballroom.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with the latest updates, the construction project has encountered several major obstacles. Currently, Republicans are requesting $1 billion in taxpayer funding to keep it afloat.

Do you recall when he initially claimed it would cost a mere $200 million and be entirely self-funded? Yeah, it seems those promises are a distant memory now.

That hasn’t deterred Trump from pushing his persistent “WE NEED THE BALLROOM” talking point. This past Wednesday, he doubled down on the supposed popularity of the project: “It really has become very popular. When people see the design, they really like it. It’s been great, gotten some great reviews.”

The White House/ atrupar/Twitter: @atrupar

Well, CNN decided it was time to fact-check that “popularity,” and they demonstrated, in VERY clear visual terms, just how deeply disliked this project actually is:

So, it turns out that ghosts and telepathy are apparently more favored by the public than the damn ballroom!

That specific screenshot has (rightfully) gone viral across social media, and the reactions are truly something else. Here are the funniest responses:

CNN/CantEverDie/x.com

We have:

“i will always support ghosts over ballrooms.”

EXMelPPVs

CNN/hithereimclay/x.com

“American support for GHOSTS is at an ALL-TIME HIGH!”

CNN/woman_mage/x.com

“it cannot be true that approximately 3/10 americans believe in telepathy. I don’t want to believe it.”

GQu9w0Ivl

CNN/transitracer/x.com

“i like that this implies theres people out there who ‘support’ telepathy and ghosts but don’t believe in them.”

And lastly, “hold up 39% of yall think ghosts are real?”
