Will Smith is back — THIS time, dropping beats instead of slaps! His new album, ‘Based on a True Story’, kicks off with the track "Int. Barbershop — Day," where he declares: "Will Smith is canceled." Then he hints it's because of his skin color… which is an interesting take, considering, well… 2022 Oscars, anyone? Maybe the cancellation had a little more… punch to it.

Morgan Wallen Pulls a Houdini on SNL—Poof, He's Gone! Morgan Wallen caused a stir by making an early exit from Saturday Night Live. During the traditional end-of-show goodbyes, Wallen hugged host Mikey Madison, then pulled a classic Irish exit—vanishing offstage before the credits even rolled. Fans were left wondering if he had a pressing engagement or just really, really wanted to beat the traffic. Moments later, he posted a photo of a plane with the caption, "Get me to God's country." Guess when Morgan says, "Last Night", he means right now!
