Forget the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Bill Maher spent the first segment of Friday’s Real Time asking about a cultural battle – the feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
To explain the war of words, Maher brought in Michael Eric Dyson, a professor at Vanderbilt University and author of the book Unequal: A Story of America.
Dyson blamed the feud on a personality clash. “Kendrick Lamar didn’t like the fact that Drake was who he was,” a resentment dating back years. It kept brewing until it “blew up in one particular song,” which was Like That, a 2024 collaboration by Future, Metro Boomin, and Lamar.
Dyson said verbal battles are not unusual in the Black community. He pointed out that Drake, a Canadian, has been accused of being a “culture vulture” who is not socially conscious. “So his Blackness was put into question,” Dyson said.
Dyson was also asked to comment on the shocking video of music mogul P. Diddy assaulting his girlfriend in a hotel.
“We live in a culture of vitriol toward women,” said Dyson, but said that shouldn’t be conflated with the misogyny present in some hip-hop. He condemned the Diddy action, and said it represents the inability to see someone as a human being.
The panel portion of the show featured Nellie Bowles, author of the new book Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History, and a founder of The Free Press, and Pamela Paul, author and opinion columnist at The New York Times.
The conversation started with the upcoming June debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Maher marveled at a June debate in the race, taking it as a sign that Biden is losing.
Paul jumped in: “But they’re not getting any younger.”
Bowles advocated for

Donald Trump‘s tab during filming for Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.The former US president famously made a cameo in the 1992 movie in which Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin MacAllister asks Trump for directions to the hotel lobby.Stern, best known for his role as hapless criminal Marv alongside Joe Pesci (Harry) in Home Alone and the sequel, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain [via The Independent] yesterday (May 28): “I had met [Trump] that day on the shoot and that night, me and the stunt guys and some crew guys were at the hotel bar and Mr Trump walked through.“He pointed and was very appreciative and said, ‘Drinks are on me’ and so we bought drinks for the entire bar, for the entire night. We hit him pretty good on the bill.
Mick Jagger still have moves like that?That’s the question you kept asking yourself — in a state of complete and utter marvel — during the Rolling Stones’ first of two “Hackney Diamonds” Tour stops at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Thursday night.On his first tour as an octogenarian — he turned 80 last July — the man who made Adam Levine look old on Maroon 5’s 2011 smash “Moves Like Jagger” is still out-shimmying us all.Father Time is still on his side.Seeing Jumping Jack Jagger work as hard as ever to give the people what they came — and paid a pretty penny — was enough to restore the faith of even the most cynical New Yorker in the power of rock ’n’ roll.Indeed, 60 years later after the Stones released their self-titled debut in 1964, the eternally bad-boy Brits staged a rock resurrection that the genre desperately needs.It wasn’t only rock ’n’ roll — it was a revelation.And it was in large part due to Jagger, who seems to have Benjamin Buttoned his energy — and body.The man can still rock skinny jeans better than anybody else in the stadium.Jagger was in such perpetual motion from the time he hit the stage to “Start Me Up” — the Stones’ 1981 hit that remains one of the most perfect concert openers of all time — that it was almost a shock when, four songs in, he struck the perfect still pose at the end of “Hackney Diamonds” single “Angry.”Still, if there was ever one single moment that he seemed out of breath, it wasn’t captured by the giant video screens that put his famous lips on blast.And, as if he somehow still had anything to prove, he was relentlessly selling and strutting to new tunes such as “Mess It Up” from the Stones’ underappreciated “Hackney Diamonds” album — which, released last October, was the

le town.The controversial movie “The Apprentice,” depicting the former president’s rise to fame in New York high society during the 1970s, premiered Monday at the Cannes Film Festival in France to a glamorous crowd including Cate Blanchett and Bella Hadid.The movie received a standing ovation ranging from eight to 11 minutes, according to accounts.In the drama, Sebastian Stan plays a younger Trump as he meets power lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong of “Succession”) and first wife Ivana (Maria Bakalova of “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”).While his political ambitions are said to be hinted at, “The Apprentice” does not cover the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections or Trump’s four years in the White House.

Oliver Stone is in Cannes today for a Special Screening of Lula, a documentary he co-directed with Rob Wilson about the unbelievable comeback of Brazilian leader Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva.

He also revisits his position on Vladimir Putin, whom he interviewed extensively several years ago, in light of recent events that have ratcheted global tensions.
