On Thursday night, Kneecap performed at Wembley, and Liam hAnnaidh and his band raped about Donald Trump and his state visit.

Belfast rap trio Kneecap slammed Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK – during a rousing gig at Wembley last night.

The band told fans music artists are “filling a void” left by politicians, taking aim at the US President hours after he left the UK for the US following his three-day trip. Mid performance, during a break between songs, one of the band members could be heard saying: “Is Donald Trump in f****** England? For f**** sake.”

A message read, “Starmer welcomed Isaac Herzog to this city like a king last week,” was displayed on the wall before the show in London. Trump, the one who authorized the slaughter, is present.

Mr Starmer met with Israel’s President at Number 10 last week, after which a Downing Street spokesperson described the Doha bombing by Israel as a ‘flagrant violation’, and also called out the ‘manmade famine’ in Gaza.

Kneecap’s performance at Glastonbury in the summer sparked controversy, and led to criticism from fans. Police launched a criminal investigation after they reviewed footage of Kneecap’s set, but eventually decided to take “no further action”.

However, it didn’t cut it for Kneecap at Wembley, where Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the stage name Moglai Bap, added “release the f****** files,” appearing to quote requests for the Trump administration to release all Jeffrey Epstein investigation documents.

The crowd was then led by Liam Og O hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, in chants of “f*** the Royal Family” and “f*** Keir Starmer” as well.

The evening included a special audio-visual presentation from trip hop collective Massive Attack, followed by a speech from Ben Jamal, the director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, supported by Irish post-punk band Gurriers and London artist Jelani Blackman.

The group, which also includes JJ O’Dochartaigh (DJ Provai), performed tracks like Grian Chatten, Sick In The Head, and Hood, which are from Fontaines, DC.

O hAnnaidh added in a separate address to the audience that “people like us, people like Massive Attack, and other acts that decide to talk about Palestine.” At the end of the day, all we’re doing is filling a void that politicians aren’t filling.

Because politicians won’t do it, the reason why musicians and artists are always the people who spearhead these kinds of campaigns and movements is.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended from air indefinitely after his comments about Charlie Kirk in Monday’s opening monologue, and US Vice President JD Vance has revealed the identity of the “new ABC late night host.”

US Vice President JD Vance has made a surprising announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter. He revealed that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be stepping in to fill the shoes of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC.

The network has yet to officially confirm this news, but Vance dropped the bombshell on Thursday morning. This comes just a day after the sudden cancellation of the comedian’s long-standing late-night programme, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Jimmy’s show was abruptly axed by the broadcaster following his opening monologue earlier this week, where he mentioned Charlie Kirk.

The VP requested that everyone congratulate @marcorubio, the new host of ABC’s late-night show, in an unanticipated turn of events.

ABC, which is owned by Disney, pulled the plug on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his comments about the death of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk. Specifically, his remarks about the suspected killer and his mockery of Trump’s icy response to questions about his associate’s death, according to the Irish Star.

Charlie Kirk, the host of the podcast Turning Point, was attending the first event of The American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University when he was shot in the neck. Officials believe the weapon used was a high-powered rifle.

Kirk did not survive his injuries and has since become a martyr for the Republican Party.

The MAGA Gang is frantically trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything but one of them and using all means to gain political points from it, according to Jimmy.

He continued, “There was grieving in between the finger-pointing.”

On a human level, the president is taking it seriously, he continued, cutting a clip of Trump being interviewed by the press about the new ballroom when asked how he was holding up after his friend’s death.

Yes, construction is the fourth stage of grief. An adult does not grieve the death of a person he referred to as a friend. Okay, that’s how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish, right? And it didn’t just happen once, Jimmy claimed before airing a second clip of the president talking about the ballroom on Fox News when questioned about how he had heard about Charlie’s passing.

The host continued, “Why are we building a $200 million ballroom in the White House?” Is it possible that he intentionally acts in a way that makes us angry rather than the Epstein list? “The country has been frightened over his sudden dismissal, which has caused fear to surround the right to free speech.”

Despite having no prior television experience aside from making guest appearances on Fox News and other networks, Marco Rubio is rumored to be stepping down as vice president.

However, it is still unknown whether the politician will host his own ABC program.

Following a distinguished career that spanned nearly six decades, Joel Moss, a record producer, sound engineer, and mixer, passed away in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Seven-time Grammy-winning producer Joel Moss has died at the age of 79.

Throughout his distinguished career, the Hollywood legend worked on blockbusters like Omen IV: The Awakening and with music legends like Eagles, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Talking Heads. For producing the cast recording of the musical In the Heights, which premiered on Broadway in 2008, about life in the streets of Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood, he received a Best Musical Show Album award.

Moss passed away on Monday in Saratoga Springs, New York, his family reported today. Moss was described by the relatives as “the biggest mensch in the recording industry who created the best sounds in town,” who refused to name a cause of death.

His career began in Los Angeles when he began working on recordings for recording artists like Little Richard, Joe Cocker, and Johnny Cash at the age of 23. The Record Plant Recording Studios, a recording business that ran the Paramount Pictures scoring stage, was then led by Moss as its executive director and chief engineer.

For Hollywood movies like Fatal Attraction, Omen IV: The Awakening, and South Pacific, Moss was able to provide scores for these projects. For Talking Heads’ iconic documentary, Stop Making Sense, Moss was the first to convert analogue recordings to 24-track digital in the 1980s.

In the 1990s, the actor founded Managra Music Company, a company specializing in jazz and theater compositions, and became associated with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

Paying tribute to Moss today, production company Caffe Lena said on Facebook: “It never failed to amaze us that a man who produced records for Johnny Cash, Tony Bennett, The Talking Heads, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and hundreds of others, believed so much in the community of Saratoga Springs and the value of Caffe Lena, that he spent his evenings running our livestream cameras and recording our shows.

He felt a strong commitment to recording every performance at Caffe Lena because he thought the stage on Caffe Lena is a treasure and what takes place there is significant. When you’ll find lightning in a bottle, you never know. He told everyone when he noticed that special spark in an artist, whether it was their first performance or an underappreciated treasure that had spent decades on the road. We are forever richer because of our time with him, and Joseph’s presence and faith have made him famous in the eyes of many.

Jimmy Kimmel Live ! is currently suspended, and the show’s future is uncertain because the host’s ABC contract is scheduled to expire in a few months.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been “suspended indefinitely”, however, fans are worried this is in effect a cancellation as the host’s multi-million dollar contract is set to expire in just a few months.

Jimmy Kimmel’s long-running late-night program was suspended by ABC after the host made contentious remarks about Charlie Kirk’s passing. No permanent decision has been made regarding the suspension’s future, aside from a request that Kimmel apologize to Kirk’s family if he wishes to return to the air. The suspension is currently scheduled to continue “indefinitely.”

However, some media reports claim Kimmel’s $48 million contract with ABC will expire in 2026. The show will end if it is not renewed. According to reports, the network wants to keep him as host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but it’s possible they won’t renew his contract or will cancel Jimmy Kimmel Live! altogether.

Kimmel has not yet responded to his comments or the show’s suspension, which aired on Monday (15 September). The television host explained to viewers that the “MAGA gang” were using Kirk’s death to “score political points” during his opening monologue on Monday’s show.

Ben Stiller, Jean Smart, and Wanda Sykes were among the many Hollywood stars who criticized Kimmel’s show, which received backlash and was suspended. Kimmel was attempting to “mislead the American people,” according to Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission head, and demanded that the program be pulled.

Kirk was passionate about protecting the suspension despite the fact that Stiller, Smart, Sykes, and others have all criticized it as an attack on free speech. He claimed that the Trump administration was in danger of doing so because of left-wing critics.

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter last year, Kirk said: “Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi has since stated that those who post “hate speech” will be “shut down,” and that the Trump administration will actively pursue those who violate its terms. On a podcast, Bondi stated, “There’s free speech, and then there’s hate speech.” If you use hate speech, we will absolutely target you and pursue you.

Jimmy Kimmel Live’s suspension staff were reportedly minutes away from airing the show when it was shut down because it occurred so suddenly. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled by another network, CBS, just months prior to this abrupt stop in filming. According to some, the show was canceled as a result of President Trump’s remarks and a subsequent lawsuit. Trump has also filed legal suits against the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, both of which have criticized his administration.

The President also stated on Truth Social that NBC should axe Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers’ shows, raising questions for the future of many late-night television programs. He thanked ABC for “finally having the courage to do what needed to be done” and continued, “That leaves Jimmy and Seth on Fake News NBC, two total losers.” They also have terrible reviews. NBC, please! “!

The lone Democrat on the FCC, Anna Gomez, told CNN on Wednesday (17 September) that Kimmel’s show’s suspension was unrelated to hate speech or inciting violence. This administration is increasingly repressing lawful expression because it challenges those in power and represents views that they oppose, not because it glorifies or violates the law.

Jimmy Kimmel Live was suspended by ABC, according to veteran host David Letterman. after the host was cut off from the show for remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, as ‘ridiculous’ and a sign of authoritarianism.

David Letterman has spoken out strongly against ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely after the late-night host made controversial remarks about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The 78-year-old veteran host claimed the move had a negative impact on free expression when he made an appearance at the Atlantic Festival in New York. He responded, “It’s ridiculous.” That’s not how it works, because you can’t go around firing someone because you’re afraid of or trying to suck up on an authoritarian criminal regime in the Oval Office.

Letterman compared the suspension to life in “a dictatorship” and characterized it as a “misery.” After the announcement, the veteran host confirmed that Kimmel had spoken to him directly. He is eating food while he is lying in bed. He retorted, “He’s going to be fine,” but he acknowledged that he had no idea what to say or think about the situation.

After Kimmel said in his Monday night monologue, “The MAGA Gang]is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything in their power to get political points out of it,” the controversy erupted.

He also mocked Donald Trump’s response to the tragedy, adding: “This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

Trump welcomed the decision to pull the program “indefinitely,” which ABC made on Wednesday night when it announced that the program would be canceled. Congratulations to ABC for overcoming the necessary obstacles.

Hollywood and political commentators immediately reacted to the suspension. While singer John Legend re-shared a post from author David Frum criticizing political interference in the media, Ben Stiller said, “This isn’t right.”

The action, according to MSNBC host Chris Hayes, is “the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen, and it’s not even close.”

Kimmel was defended by others, including Alison Brie, Henry Winkler, and Keith Olbermann.

Letterman reflected on his own three decades in late-night, during which he targeted six presidents from Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama.

Not once, he noted, did anyone from any government agency, let alone the dreaded FCC, blame them for beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps incorrectly, in the name of comedy.

Letterman has previously accused networks of being “cowardly,” most recently with the Stephen Colbert-canceled The Late Show.

On Thursday, he suggested Kimmel’s suspension is part of a troubling shift: “It’s a world of someone who’s an authoritarian, maybe a dictatorship.”

Utah Valley University shot and killed Charlie Kirk, 31, last week. Tyler Robinson, 22, is the accused gunman and is facing aggravated murder charges.

After the young siblings walked the red carpet at the National Television Awards, Katie Price did not have many positive things to say about son Junior and daughter Princess’ outfits.

Katie Price has slammed her son Junior Andre’s red carpet look for the National Television Awards and demanded her children “sack the stylist” after not being impressed with Princess’ dress either.

The former glamour model had a lot to say about her children’s NTA outfits in the most recent episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, but none of it was complimentary. She apologized to the listeners and told them to fire their stylist.

However, I did say to them, “You’ve got to sack the stylist.” Junior made me feel sorry. What was he f***ing wearing, I asked Princess? It appeared to be “fancy dress.”

She continued, noting that she thought Princess’s appearance was “too old” for the 18-year-old. Katie also compared Maura Higgins, a former Love Islander, to her daughter. “Princess, I didn’t like your dress either,” I said. You couldn’t handle it because it was too old. Look at Maura Higgins, she was amazing!

“I told you, “I don’t know who is involving these stylists,” I said. They might style you for a photo shoot, but not a red carpet, she continued. The outfits “just went so wrong,” he said.

For the first time since their famous parents, Princess and Junior have walked the red carpet. They also saw appearances from Junior and Katie in the subsequent Princess’ solo reality show, The Princess Diaries, which featured her father, Peter Andre, but didn’t really include Katie.

Junior and Princess explained to the press that they had informed their parents to abstain from visiting the NTAs while on the red carpet. Although they are very family-oriented, they said it was their turn.

However, some have questioned whether Katie’s absence from Princess’ reality show and the NTAs is related to something else. In the past, Katie and Princess have engaged in well-known feuds, most recently when Katie canceled her daughter’s 18th birthday celebration. Katie asserted on her podcast that “everyone is aware that she is producing this documentary, and I’m not a part of it.”

Some people don’t believe that having Princess with me is a good idea. People used to care for me, but Princess said, “I’m having a party. And I wasn’t invited because the event was “filming.”

Peter Andre then sued her for missing her invitation. Because I’m his ex, Pete doesn’t want to be in the same room with me. Because I disagree, she said, we need to have some home truths about this when the kids get older and get married. Will he still have the mindset that only one parent can be there?

Later, Princess refuted the feud and claimed that her mother wouldn’t show up if Peter was present. Katie also made a statement later in the podcast that she was correct in saying that she doesn’t post about it because she actually sees Princess all the time. I see her constantly, much like with Princess. I don’t have to take as many pictures as I would.
