Just when we thought the TikTok trends would end, there might be hope for the social media app after all. As of this weekend, users no longer have the usual access to TikTok, but many are holding out hope that incoming president Donald Trump will change that. And as indicated over the past few weeks, he might be delivering.
In a new interview, Donald Trump – who will be inaugurated on Monday, January 20th – said that there is a good chance he will give TikTok an extension. “I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation…If I decide to do that, I’ll probably announce it on Monday.”

Marvel Snap, the free-to-play card-battling game set in the Marvel universe, has been taken offline following the TikTok ban in the United States. While everyone was aware of the looming deadline for the social media app, the banning of Marvel Snap came as a surprise, especially for those unaware that TikTok parent company ByteDance was even involved with the game.
"Sorry, Marvel Snap isn't available right now," an in-game message reads when trying to log in to play in the United States. "A law banning Marvel Snap has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Marvel Snap for now. Rest assured, we're working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned!"
Marvel Snap is actually developed by U.S.-based game studio Second Dinner. However, the game is published by Nuverse, a subsidiary of ByteDance, the Chinese technology company best known for TikTok.

The funny folks of Saturday Night Live had plenty of current events to riff on this week, with Saturday’s episode coming shortly before Donald Trump’s inauguration and while TikTok was going offline amid a ban in the United States. And after James Austin Johnson played Trump in SNL’s cold open on Saturday, host Dave Chappelle — hosting the NBC show for a fourth time — sent a message to the real-life politician. Here are big moments from the episode. Faux Donald Trump laments TikTok’s end Saturday’s cold open featured Sarah Sherman, Ego Nwodim, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, and Marcello Hernández playing MSNBC talking heads reacting to a torrent of breaking news about Trump. Some of those headlines: Trump wanting to trade Connecticut for Italy, saying that Arnold Palmer had some of the “longest balls in history,” wanting to end the wildfires by filling the Up house with water balloons,...

Joe Biden concludes his single term as, paradoxically, one of the best and worst presidents to occupy the Oval Office.
Biden’s remarkable service to the country includes defeating Donald Trump in 2020 — which in that moment had the air of saving American democracy. A seasoned dealmaker from his career in the Senate, Biden then began racking up a prodigious legislative record — including historic investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, and climate resilience — that places him among the most accomplished Democrats since Fdr. Though it did him little good politically, Biden compiled a...

It looks like a day really doesn’t go by that Piers Morgan doesn’t have something to say about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
This British Critic Just Slammed Harry And Meghan Markle
That’s because he’s certainly done it again. The British television personality says that it would be nice if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can just ‘disappear into obscurity’ already because according to him, they really don’t have anything to offer.
In a new interview with Variety, Piers say that he often doesn’t talk about Harry and Meghan anymore just because they’ve become so utterly boring.
He said, “I’ve just run out of interest in them, as most people have. I think people are genuinely bored with it all. They’ve just disappeared into obscurity. And when you trash your family for years, you just run out of things to say.

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update addressed several elements of the presidential transition process, including a new portrait of Donald Trump, figures like Mark Zuckerberg cozying up to the president-elect, and some of President Joe Biden’s final actions while in office.

Rapper-turned-mogul Snoop Dogg is feeling the heat for performing at the Crypto Ball, an event in Washington D.C. preceding Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
When video surfaced of the rapper performing at the Friday night event, held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium and hosted by former PayPal COO David Sacks, fans expressed anger and shock online. The Shade Room posted a video of Snoop — along with Rick Ross and Soulja Boy — on stage performing, and the comments section was filled with outrage over The Voice judge’s decision. “This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful asf,” one reaction read. “Not a check in the world worth selling my soul to the Devil…” another commenter remarked.

Dave Chappelle, two days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, spoke to the president-elect during the tail end of his SNL monologue to wish him good luck, and to urge everyone to have empathy for all displaced peoples–“whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine.”
In the comedian’s fourth time hosting since 2016, but his first on an episode that didn’t air the same week as a presidential or midterm election, Chappelle covered a lot of ground, beginning with recapping discussions with executive producer Lorne Michaels about when he would next host.

Donald Trump is returning to the White House, so you know what that means: Dave Chappelle is hosting Saturday Night Live. Chappelle famously made his SNL debut on the 42nd season episode which aired on November 12, 2016, four days after Trump won the presidency for the first time. While that appearance, which won Chappelle the first of five Emmy awards (he also won for hosting the series in 2021) took place immediately after the election, this one aired right before the inauguration, making this a once-in-every-four-year tradition. Here are the best moments from Chappelle’s third hosting gig, from his opening monologue to the funniest sketches.

Dave Chappelle started off Saturday Night Live‘s first episode of 2025 with a bang, addressing everything from the L.A. wildfires to Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration and the long list of allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Saturday marked Chappelle’s fourth time hosting, this time alongside musical guest GloRilla. The comedian has previously appeared in notable post-election episodes, with his prior hosting stints taking place in November 2016, 2020 and 2022; this time, he joined the show just two days before Trump’s second inauguration.
Walking out on stage while smoking a cigarette, Chappelle told the crowd that SNL boss Lorne Michaels had asked him to host the first episode after the 2024 election, but he had said no because “Things are going good, I finished my Netflix deal, I have all this money and stuff.” After Michaels pushed, Chappelle told him to save the date closest to Jan. 6.

Dave Chappelle took the stage at Studio 8H for the new year’s inaugural episode of “Saturday Night Live,” marking his fourth time hosting the show.
He walked out onstage wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette and said, “Boy, I tell you something. I’m being very honest. I am in quite the pickle tonight. And it started in October. Lorne Michaels called me.”
Chappelle recounted how he asked him to host the show. “The first episode after the election,” recalls Chappelle. “And I was like, nah, I’m cool.” He describes how he then asked Michaels to “save the date closest to Jan. 6. You know what? I could just get rid of all these old Trump jokes. I’ll do it!” The comedian paused and said, “The moment I said yes, L.A. burst into flames!”

Over the course of a 15-minute opening monologue, comedian Dave Chappelle tackled everything from the Los Angeles wildfires to Donald Trump’s forthcoming inauguration, from Sean Combs indictment to a heartfelt tribute for the late Jimmy Carter.
Kicking off Saturday Night Live‘s first show after Season 50’s winter hiatus, Chappelle said executive producer Lorne Michaels had been trying to book him as a host for the episode after the election, which he vehemently refused. Finally, he agreed to a spot closest to January 6th.
“The moment I said yes, L.A. burst into flames. And it’s a tough one, you know what I mean, because I’m tired of being controversial, I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. And it is way too soon to be doing jokes about a catastrophe like that,” he said, smoking a cigarette throughout his material and winking.

“SNL” host Dave Chappelle opened his monologue on Saturday night by recounting how hard he tried to get out of hosting the show, then launched into a nearly 17-minute set that touched on everything from the LA wildfires and Trump to Palestine and Jimmy Carter.
Chappelle said that in October, Lorne Michaels called and asked him to host the first “Saturday Night Live” show after the presidential election “and I said nah I’m cool, I got all this money and stuff,” the comedian recounted. Chappelle said he finally agreed and “the moment I said yes, LA burst into flames.”
Thus began a segment of the monologue that elicited some uncomfortable laughter.
“This is the most expensive natural disaster that’s ever happened in United States history. And you want to know why I think that is? Because people in LA have nice stuff. I could burn 40,000 acres in Mississippi for like $600 or $700,” he joked.

The Saturday Night Live cold open saw James Austin Johnson returning as Donald Trump, two days before the inauguration, this time talking about the TikTok ban.
About an hour before the show aired, TikTok really did go dark as a new U.S. law was about to go into effect restricting the social media platform from U.S. app stores. The law gave Chinese parent ByteDance a time frame to sell TikTok or face a ban. A sale never happened, and TikTok said the ban went into effect at midnight.
The premise of the SNL open was MSNBC’s coverage of inauguration weekend, with Rachel Maddow (Sarah Sherman) and other anchors struggling to focus on the substance of Trump’s policies but perpetually distracted by his many wild proposals and Truth Social posts.
Then, with the TikTok news, the anchors were unable to resist going to coverage of Trump’s statement.

Dave Chappelle opened the January 18 episode of Saturday Night Live by joking about the Los Angeles fires, the election and more.
The 51-year-old comedian said that he reluctantly returned to the popular late-night show, noting that Lorne Michaels originally offered him the first episode after the election.
During the monologue, Dave revealed that he wasn’t interested at the time, joking that he should “save the date closest to January 6.” When the offer came again in December, Dave decided to accept.

Updated Saturday, with TikTok shutting down: TikTok has officially shut down in the U.S. ahead of a Sunday deadline but said it hopes to be reinstated after Donald Trump takes office on Monday.
The incoming president said earlier today that he will most likely give the app, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, a 90-day extension under a law that calls for a ban or sale to a U.S. entity. President Biden had said that given the tight timing he was leaving implementation to the Trump administration.
“Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” read a message on the app. “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

TikTok has officially suspended service in the United States, bringing at least a temporary interruption to people’s use of the social media app. Here’s what happens next…
Last year, a law went into effect that mandated TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance sell ownership of the popular platform before January 19, 2025. However, ByteDance refused to sell.
Shortly before the deadline hit, the app shut down for all users in the United States. In a note on the platform, TikTok offered a hint at what is to come.

TikTok has shut down.
The wildly popular social video app has gone dark in the U.S. as the divestiture bill is set to became law at midnight on Jan. 19.

Another popular social media app is going dark in the United States alongside TikTok.
If you haven’t been keeping track, a new law passed last year mandated that TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance sell off ownership by January 19, 2025. If it did not, the social media platform had to be removed from the App Store.
ByteDance has refused to sell the app, which means that the ban is going into effect.
Unfortunately, TikTok isn’t the only platform that ByteDance owns. The company is also the parent of the video editing service CapCut, which suspended its service shortly before the clock struck midnight January 19.

If you haven’t been keeping track, a new law passed last year mandated that TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance sell off ownership by January 19, 2025. If it did not, the social media platform had to be removed from the App Store.
ByteDance has refused to sell the app, which means that the ban is going into effect.
Unfortunately, TikTok isn’t the only platform that ByteDance owns. The company is also the parent of the video editing service CapCut, which suspended its service shortly before the clock struck midnight January 19.

It appears that the common belief that Snoop Dogg will do anything for a check is true. On Friday night, the rapper performed at the Crypto Ball ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The “exclusive social event” was held in Washington DC and was intended to praise Trump’s embrace of cryptocurrency, with tickets allegedly going for upwards of $5,000 a pop. Notably, the event coincided with Trump’s launch of his own meme coin.
Press supposedly wasn’t allowed at the Crypto Ball, but videos of Snoop DJing at the event have surfaced online, showing him rapping to a tuxedo-clad Maga crowd. In addition to his own songs, Snoop appeared to have performed several covers, including Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Watch videos of the moment below.

President-elect Donald Trump said he will “probably” visit Los Angeles next week to view the aftermath of the devastating wildfires.
Trump told NBC News‘ Kristen Welker on Saturday that he plans to visit after his inauguration on Monday, saying, “I will be, probably, at the end of the week.”
“I was going to go, actually yesterday,” he added, “but I thought it would be better if I went as president. It’s a little bit more appropriate, I suspect.”
Trump’s visit would come weeks after fires initially broke out in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7, fanned by strong Santa Ana winds. In the days that followed, blazes continued to erupt across Los Angeles County, including Altadena. While first responders have worked night and day to contain the flames, more than 12,000 homes, buildings and structures were destroyed in the fires’ paths, leaving many residents displaced. At least 25 people were also killed.

When Cameron Diaz broke the news of her return to the industry after years, fans couldn’t believe themselves. It had been almost a decade since her last film that they started shooting. And the movie hit theatres (read: Netflix) only a decade later.
That Back in Action made a lot of news for Diaz’s return is no secret. No wonder the Knight & Day star must have felt the pressure on her. But she had someone to rely on through thick and thin.

As Donald Trump prepares to take office again, a trip to Los Angeles is on his itinerary in the wake of recent devastating wildfires.
Although he confirmed he has yet to speak to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the president-elect noted he plans to make the visit “probably, at the end of the week” after his inauguration on Monday, previously opting not to go sooner.
“I was going to go, actually yesterday but I thought it would be better if I went as president,” Trump told NBC News. “It’s a little bit more appropriate, I suspect.”
Trump has blamed the fires on Newsom, who pushed back on the claim and has invited the president-elect to survey the damage. He accused Trump of spreading “mis- and disinformation I don’t think advantages or aids any of us.”
Newsom added, “Responding to Donald Trump’s insults, we would spend another month. I’m very familiar with them.

Kevin O’Leary’s $20 billion TikTok offer hit the news like a blockbuster pitch – too bad it’s already been shut down. O’Leary made waves suggesting that ByteDance could cash in big by selling TikTok’s U.S. operations. But here’s the twist: ByteDance isn’t budging.

They’ve already made it clear they won’t part with one key technology that powers the app. So, while O’Leary’s offer may’ve had a nice price tag, it seems the deal’s as good as a no-show.

Sylvester Stallone’s character, Dwight, drew clear inspiration from the notorious mafia aristocracy of Palermo, merging Hollywood swagger with gritty, old-school crime family vibes.
