In a 1:52 a.m. ET post on his Truth Social account, the president wrote, “Colbert is finally done with CBS. It’s amazing he lasted this long! No talent, no recognition, no life. He was like a dead man. If anyone could be taken off the streets, they would be better than this…

The Cannes Film Festival is known for its strict dress code, but this year’s red carpet was full of dangerously plunging necklines, high-slit skirts, and see-through gowns. The event’s charter, which made headlines last year, states that “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet and in other areas of the festival” for “common sense reasons”. Additionally, the festival will no longer allow “voluminous costumes, especially costumes with large trains, that impede proper flow…
“The Man I Love,” director Ira Sachs’ poetic and tender gay drama about love, desire, death and art, set in New York in the late 1980s, received an enthusiastic response after its premiere in Cannes. Despite star Rami Malek receiving critical acclaim for his role as an amateur theater worker fighting AIDS (a Variety review called it his “best role since Bohemian Rhapsody”), there’s a lot of love for Tom Sturridge’s partner. While Malek takes center stage, Sturridge works deftly with the space around him, delivering a performance that is quiet and understated, yet deeply moving. Sturridge last appeared on…
