James Corden and The Late Late Show hit another out of the park with this parody of the current White House tenants ‘back when.’
Composer Tim Minchin, Ben Platt (Dear Even Hansen), Abigail Spencer (“Timeless”) and host James Corden perform a parody of Matilda’s “When I Grow Up” playing the roles of Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon, respectively, wondering what running the world would be like as adults.
Just. Fab.
Watch below:
Drag queen, Emmy Award winner and ‘Supermodel of the world,’ RuPaul, will get his own origins story on the small screen via JJ Abrams.
According to Deadline, the series will cover Ru’s early days in a punk band, “gender fuck” club kid, and nascent career highlights such as being a featured dancer in the music video for the B-52’s “Love Shack.”
Of course, since then it’s been fab glam-ness for the man who’s conquered the mainstream with music, TV, and his own MAC makeup campaign.
No word yet on which network will air the series.

During today’s testimony by FBI Director James Comey and National Security Director Mike Rogers in front of the House Intelligence Committee, President Trump tweeted that the two directors had told Congress “Russia did not influence (the) electoral process” in the 2016 presidential campaign.

While the FBI Director had testified that he had no evidence that voting machines had been tampered with, he did not say the same regarding Russia having an “influence” on the election.
Watch below as Congressman Jim Himes asks them if that was the intent of their testimony.
Director Comey’s response: “It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today, because we don’t have any information on that subject.”

And just to get a better look at the NSA and FBI director’s reactions when asked the question:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes told reporters today he had never heard of Trump associates Roger Stone or Carter Page.
Rather stunning that the man looking into the allegations of Trump collusion with Russian interference could state with a straight face he had never heard of these characters who have been in the news so much in the past months.

President Trump falls 220 spots on Forbes Magazine‘s list of the world’s richest people.
Via the BBC:
Microsoft founder Bill Gates again tops Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, in a year when the number of billionaires rose 13% to 2,043.
According to the magazine’s annual rich list, Mr Gates’ fortune rose to $86bn, from $75bn, followed by investor Warren Buffett, up $14.8bn to $75.6bn.
It was bad news for US President Donald Trump, who slipped 220 spots to 544 and must now rub along on just $3.5bn. Forbes said the $1bn fall in his wealth was due to the slow US property market.
Get ready for more pronouncements of “Fake news!” any minute now.
Today we learned three things during FBI Director James Comey’s testimony at the House Intelligence Committee hearing:
1. There is NO evidence to support President Trump’s unfounded allegation that President Obama ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower.
2. The Trump campaign team has been under investigation for ties to Russian officials who may have have attempted to disrupt the U.S. election. The investigation concerning President Trump and those associated with his campaign has been ongoing since July 2016.
3. With both Clinton and Trump teams being investigated during the campaign, it’s worth noting that Comey announced to the nation 12 days before Election Day that Clinton was still under investigation but did not mention Trump. Think on that for a while…
Comey also shared that the FBI has found no evidence that Russian agents had changed actual votes in U.S. voting machines in swing states.
However, President Trump took to Twitter to spin that his own way, saying, “The NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence electoral process.”

That not what the two intelligence directors said.
While they addressed the idea of “changed votes,” that doesn’t mean that Russia’s leaking stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee didn’t influence the election. As a matter of fact we know that the constant drip, drip, drip of emails had an effect on the election.
