In a fiery rant posted May 19 on Truth Social, Trump said he plans to call for a “major investigation” into Harris’ celebrity endorsements, including by Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé. He alleged Beyoncé received $11 million to walk on stage and show her support during a Harris’ rally in Houston.

The president did not cite a source for this information. The Federal Election Commission has no record of an $11 million payment to Beyoncé from Harris’ campaign.

Here’s what to know about Beyoncé’s endorsement of Harris.

Beyoncé showed support for Harris throughout presidential campaign

In October 2024, Beyoncé showed up to declare her support and officially endorse Harris at a rally focused on abortion rights in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston. She was joined by her longtime friend the singer and actress Kelly Rowland on the stage.

During a live stream on May 19, the cartoonist, 67, revealed that like Biden, he has also been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to the bone. “My life expectancy is maybe this summer,” Adams said. “I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”

Adams, who said he has been using a walker for months, went on to detail how he is “always in pain” and doesn’t “have good days,” telling viewers, “Every day is a nightmare, and evening is even worse.”

Adams announced the news after expressing “compassion and sympathy” for Biden, who a spokesperson said on May 18 has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to the bone.

Nobody’s better as his own stuntman than Cruise, and he’s back doing things that would have mere mortals in a fetal position in “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” (in theaters May 23). In the eighth (and potentially last) film in the franchise – a spinoff of the TV show from the 1960s and ’70s – the A-lister’s superspy Ethan Hunt returns for another world-saving adventure, this time in a final faceoff with a digital supervillain.

Since Tom hasn’t accepted the mission yet, we’re doing the “Impossible” and ranking all eight films so far. (If you need to catch up, the first seven are streaming on Paramount+, as is the old series.)

During a Cannes Film Festival press conference for his latest movie “The Phoenician Scheme,” the Oscar-winning director reacted to the president’s plan to institute a 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the United States.

Anderson, who shot “The Phoenician Scheme” in Germany, expressed confusion about how such a tariff would work logistically.

“Can you hold up the movie in customs?” he asked. “It doesn’t ship that way.”

While Anderson noted he is not an expert on the subject, he called Trump’s announcement “fascinating” and voiced surprise at the idea of a 100% tariff, saying, “I feel that means he’s saying he’s going to take all the money, and then what do we get?”

But the “Moonrise Kingdom” filmmaker said he wanted to “hold off on my official answer” until he hears the details of the plan.

“Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories,” the duchess wrote in an Instagram caption alongside a photo of a corkboard decorated with shots of the couple throughout their courtship, engagement and marriage.

Some of the shots are from the couple’s royal engagement in 2017, while others show Meghan pregnant, or the pair alongside their two children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 3. Many depict the couple embracing, whether on a California beach or in Botswana, where they traveled early in their relationship.

Director Mike Flanagan’s movie (in select theaters June 6, nationwide June 13) chronicles the life of a seemingly ordinary accountant named Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) over three acts, in reverse chronological order. USA TODAY debuts a touching exclusive scene from the movie’s final act, where young Chuck (Benjamin Pajak) asks his sixth-grade English teacher, Miss Richards (Kate Siegel), what the line “I contain multitudes” means in Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.”

Her elegant answer is “a microcosm of what this movie is about,” Siegel tells USA TODAY, and there’s “something profoundly human” about this “pivotal” moment in the movie.

“In saying that Chuck contains multitudes, that this little kid has a whole world that will grow, it means that every other person on the planet also contains multitudes,” Siegel says. “Chuck is the most important person in the universe and also completely insignificant at the same time. And that feeling is what it means to be human, to feel utterly important and centered and also to be part of a huge whole where every human being contains a universe.”

Four actors play Chuck over the course of the movie: In addition to Hiddleston and Pajak, Jacob Tremblay inhabits the character’s older teenage years while Cody Flanagan, Siegel’s son with husband Mike Flanagan, is the youngest Chuck as a little boy.

‘The Life of Chuck’: Tom Hiddleston headlines Stephen King movie

Based on a Stephen King novella, “The Life of Chuck” chronicles the life of accountant Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in three acts told in reverse.

So in that scene where Miss Richards holds Chuck’s head and face, “it felt a bit like I was talking to my son of the future,” Siegel says. “And that added a whole other layer knowing that on some level, my son is a part of Chuck. It brought a ton of empathy to me just kind of organically.”

Now 8, Cody “of course” wants to be an actor, Siegel reports. “This kid had more confidence than I’ve had in 20 years of an acting career. He’s just like talking to his dad, being like, ‘I think I need lines here.’ And I was just so proud of him.

“Every day now, he says to me, ‘Mom, when am I going to get an agent?’ And I say the same thing: ‘When you turn 18.’ “

A centuries-old method of capturing key moments and figures in high-profile proceedings, sketch artists are hired by news agencies to quickly draw what they see as trials unfold.

Because Combs faces federal criminal charges (for sex trafficking and racketeering), the presence of “electronic media” like cameras is expressly banned, due to a procedural rule passed in 1946. State courts tend to be more flexible.

As a result, illustrators like Jane Rosenberg for Reuters and Elizabeth Williams for The Associated Press, as well as the reporters taking handwritten notes from inside the courtroom, provide the only accounts from the trial.
