Bill Maher and John Fetterman defend Trump’s $1Bn ballroom cost as ‘couch money’

Bill Maher and John Fetterman have defended the construction of the White House ballroom, blasting criticism as “so stupid”.

In spite of legal battles, construction is underway on Donald Trump’s controversial project, which could cost taxpayers as much as $1billion.

Speaking on the Club Random podcast on Monday (11 May), the Democrat senator said the divisive reaction to the project is a result of Trump Derangement Syndrome. “If he came out [in favor] for ice cream and lazy Sundays, we would f****** hate it,” Mr Fetterman said.

Mr Maher added: “The money is like one angstrom unit of a percentage point of what our budget is. So it doesn’t matter anyway.”

“It’s couch money.”

Jamie Foxx is going to be a dad again!

The actor, singer and comedian is expecting his third baby, his first with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp

Jamie Foxx is going to be a dad again!

PEOPLE can confirm the comedian and actor, 58, is expecting his third baby, his first with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp. TMZ was first to report the news.

The Soul star is already dad to daughters Anelise, 17, and Corinne, 32, whom he welcomed in previous relationships. Foxx shares daughter Corinne with ex Connie Kline and daughter Anelise with ex Kristin Grannis.

PEOPLE confirmed Foxx and Huckstepp were a couple in August 2023 after they were spotted out dining with a group in Malibu, Calif.

According to multiple sources, they split a year and a half later in January 2005 amid a busy time for Foxx: That month, he released a movie with his pal Cameron Diaz, Back in Action, just weeks after his highly anticipated Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was … began streaming.

“Jamie is super busy, just the way he likes it,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “He has so much going on, he barely has time to stop and think about how blessed he is." Despite the breakup, Foxx maintained a positive attitude, according to the source: "He has been having a great time."

But just a few months later, Foxx and Huckstepp were hanging out again. In April 2025, they were photographed leaving Nobu in Malibu (the same restaurant where they had a group date in the summer of 2023).

That October, Foxx and Huckstepp were seen spending time together at Kiki on The River in Miami. The pair, who were with a larger group, enjoyed a tour of the Miami River before dining at the Greek restaurant.

The proud girl dad loves being a father. During a 2017 interview with PEOPLE, Foxx opened up about raising his two daughters in Hollywood. "In this business, sometimes it can get crazy. We're so proud of them. They ended up being okay," he said.

When asked what his favorite part of being a dad was for Ellen Digital's series Dad Confessions, Foxx said he loves hearing his daughters call him "dad." He continued, "Watching them light up when you come into a room. Helping them work out a problem that you've probably gone through."

Foxx's daughters are also his biggest supporters and advocates. In April 2023, Corinne informed her followers and Foxx's fans in an Instagram post about a "medical complication" the Academy Award-winning actor experienced while filming Netflix's Back In Action in Atlanta. It wasn't until over a year later that Foxx would share he had a "brain bleed that led to a stroke."

In June 2025, Foxx was presented with the Ultimate Icon Honor at the BET Awards. During his emotional acceptance speech, he paid tribute to his "beautiful" daughters, Corinne and Anelise, who were in the audience, and thanked them for saving his life.

Vampire Diaries bosses on casting Enzo as a Salvatore brother and Damon's fate in the finale

Listen to the final episode of EW's Binge: Vampire Diaries podcast.

By Samantha Highfill

EW's editorial guidelines

August 27, 2021 9:00 a.m. ET

For *The Vampire Diaries* creatives, casting Enzo was a particularly difficult task. Because originally, the role was going to be very different.

"You were supposed to be the third Salvatore brother," executive producer Julie Plec tells star Michael Malarkey in episode 8 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. Writer Brett Matthews adds, "That was always the plan, and then it went a different direction, but that's why it was so hard to find the person. We thought it was going to be a Salvatore brother, so we cast a very wide net [and] looked very hard." Ultimately, they scrapped that plan and made it so Enzo didn't share Salvatore blood, but he was a brother figure for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for many years (and he was sired by Lily Salvatore).

But that wasn't the only plan that changed in the writers' room over the years. In discussing the *Vampire Diaries*' final season, Plec and Matthews recall the final major debate: Which Salvatore were they going to kill in the series finale? "We went back and forth in the writers' room all season long," Plec says. "We finally landed on: We're killing Damon. That's the right thing to do. He is the one with the consequence to pay. Stefan was morally a bit stronger of a character."

Matthews adds, "Damon's a fairly obvious choice," noting that the writers really fell in love with the idea of Damon compelling Stefan (Paul Wesley) to let him die. But when executive producer Kevin Williamson proposed that it should be Stefan that dies, they started to rethink their plan. "It felt like dying for Stefan freed him from a lot of weight, whereas it felt like living for Damon freed him to go and be the man that he was always supposed to be," Plec says.

Of course, both Salvatores were meant to die in the original ending Plec and Williamson came up with during the show's second season. In that ending, "The boys would sacrifice themselves to save Elena so that Elena could go and have a life and be human and live," Plec recalls during the podcast. "To save her, they would die together, and that was always the pitch. And then when Nina [Dobrev] left, it felt like the show can't be as much about protecting Elena's happiness, although that's important to us, but we want to protect the bothers' happiness, we want them to get something out of this. Then it shifted to: We can't kill both of them for her because that feels somehow like nobody got what they wanted. Let's find a different way to give one of these brothers the happiness that they need and the other brother the closure that they need."

(One other way Dobrev leaving changed the plan? Plec says, "I thought that by the time we came back to the end of the series, whenever it was, that Elena would've found her way back to Stefan and Damon would've found a different path.")

“She’s comfy, she’s cute, she’s got shorts underneath,” Brown wrote in the caption while announcing that the Playmaker collection was now live through Florence by Mills Fashion.

She completed the look with soft makeup, short tousled hair, and white sandals.

Fans quickly filled the comments section with compliments about the new campaign. “Stunning as always,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Obsessed,” while others called the photos “summer vibes the best.”

President Donald Trump opted to spend the tailend of Mother’s Day celebrating himself rather than the mothers of his children.

On Sunday night, the president went on an hour-long reposting spree on Truth Social in which he shared several AI-generated propaganda posts that praised his awe-inspiring greatness.

Trump kicked off the self-fawning festivities around 9:30 p.m. EST Sunday, declaring, “Excellent Poll Numbers. Thank You!” without linking to or mentioning any specific poll. He then proceeded to dump a landfill’s worth of sycophantic images that mostly derived from another Truth Social account called “WomenForTrump” that generates enough pro-MAGA AI content to cause a data center to implode.

First up, at 9:57 p.m., was a black and white portrait of Trump with overlaying gold text that reads: “He’s the only person in DC I truth right now. I’m a Trumplican.”

Trump moved on to post several more images that boasted him as “a true American badass,” “Thank God for Trump,” “The Greatest of All Time” and “Presidents come and go but he will forever be remembered as the GOAT.”

One particularly eye-catching image that the president reposted has text that reads, “Things are moving along nicely for America’s 250th birthday in July!” Below the text is an image of construction workers etching Trump’s face into Mt. Rushmore.

Another simply reads: “Build the ballroom,” while Trump looks on at the White House basked in a golden hue.

“It is going up fast!!!” Trump wrote above the image.

He also reposted an image that reads, in all caps, “Donald Trump is now ranked among the top three presidents in U.S. history, do you agree with the ranking?” not once, but twice.

Amid the praise-y posts, Trump also switched things up with a few spicy jabs.

One, from an account called “LauraleaMAGA,” includes a split image of Trump and former President Joe Biden with text that reads, “The greatest vs the worst.”

Another, from an account called “Harley Workman,” shows an image of poll workers with text that reads: “Start arresting poll workers that cheated in elections and watch how fast they tell you who told them to cheat.”

Amid the dump is also a post that might be the poll that prompted Trump’s reposting spree.

In white text backed by a black background, the text image reads: “CNN poll: Trump surpasses Ronald Reagan as most beloved president among Republicans.”

The claim appeared to reference a CNN report from July 2025, just a few months into the president’s second term. Trump’s more recent approval ratings are in the 30th percentile, according to a New York Times aggregation of surveys.
