After a brief hiatus, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” made its comeback on ABC on September 23, igniting a swift response from Donald Trump, who threatened to pursue litigation against the network. In a post on Truth Social, he criticized ABC for reinstating Kimmel, claiming, “I was told his show was canceled! Something changed because his audience is GONE, and his so-called ‘talent’ was missing.”
Trump accused ABC of making an “illegal campaign contribution” by allowing Kimmel to broadcast what he labeled as overwhelmingly favorable content for Democrats, hinting at a possible lawsuit. Kimmel responded to Trump’s comments upon his return, asserting that government interference in comedy is “anti-American.” His remarks garnered support from commentators across the political landscape, affirming their stance against censorship aimed at comedic expression.

The longstanding feud between Cardi B and JT has reignited, with an exchange of harsh words online following Cardi’s recent album release, Am I The Drama? Tensions heightened when JT took to Snapchat to vent her frustrations directed at Cardi after some pointed lyrics from the latter’s track on “Magnet,” which alluded to their rivalry.
JT vehemently criticized Cardi, further escalating the situation by referencing allegations against Cardi’s partner, NFL player Stefon Diggs. Cardi fired back, defending herself against those claims and promising to reveal her own evidence against JT. Their exchange quickly turned personal, leading to accusations regarding women’s rights, with JT threatening defamation action against Cardi. Once collaborators on the 2018 hit “Twerk,” their relationship appears more strained than ever.

In a disappointing development, Liverpool has reported that summer signing Giovanni Leoni has sustained a severe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, potentially sidelining him for the entire season. The 18-year-old defender had his debut cut short during the Reds' recent 2-1 victory over Southampton in the Carabao Cup, which ended in tragedy as he fell awkwardly on the pitch.
Insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed that this diagnosis is a severe blow, precluding any further participation in the current campaign. Leoni joined Liverpool with high expectations following a £30 million ($41 million) transfer from Parma. The young talent was anticipated to gradually earn his position in manager Arne Slot's team.
This setback signifies a long recovery path, as ACL injuries typically demand extensive rehabilitation, possibly delaying his return until pre-season for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Nonetheless, fans can take solace in the fact that Leoni is secured with a long-term deal until 2031, preserving his chance to prove himself at Anfield. With Liverpool currently enjoying a flawless start to their Premier League season, they will need to adjust as they prepare to face Crystal Palace this weekend without their new recruit.
