A top adviser to Melania Trump took a victory lap this week over Tom Cruise's newest box office bomb. He argued that the first lady's widely panned documentary did better business.

Marc Beckman, the first lady's senior adviser and a producer on "Melania," posted the comparison on X on Tuesday.

"On a per-theater basis, MELANIA outperformed Tom Cruise's DIGGER by approximately 67%, despite opening in roughly half as many theaters," Beckman wrote. "(Digger played in 1,543 more theaters than MELANIA.)"...

A former insider described a memory of Melania Trump bursting into laughter when Trump promised to keep a secret.

During an interview on This is Gavin Newsom, ex-Trump ally and former GOP governor Chris Christie recalled a dinner with Trump and Melania long before they were in the White House.

The dinner took place before Christie stepped down as a U.S. attorney in 2008 and after Ivanka Trump met her future husband, Jared Kushner, in 2007. Christie had prosecuted Kushner's father, whom Christie remembered as "the most disgusting defendant" he prosecuted....

Anna Faris wanted her Scary Movie 6 character to go full MAGA — and nearly pulled it off, except for one joke that didn't survive the editing room.

In a new interview with Dexerto, Faris revealed she pushed for Cindy Campbell's return to reflect a very specific cultural archetype. "I was always pushing for Cindy to be classic MAGA rabbit hole," she said. "The kind of person that you saw outside of the Walmart during quarantine, that was raising some kind of crazy a-- fuss."

One bit in particular went all the way to post-production before getting cut. "There was a moment where I'm getting just wasted, just so drunk," Faris explained. "I'm in my truck, of course, and I look into the rearview mirror and I say, 'Be best, Cindy Campbell. Be best.'" She added: "That didn't make it, but I liked my little winking there."...

A newly unearthed FBI document appears to directly contradict First Lady Melania Trump’s surprise statement last week regarding how she met her husband, President Donald Trump, and whether Jeffrey Epstein had played a role.

Last week, Mrs. Trump stunned onlookers by issuing a statement – seemingly unprompted – denying having had a relationship with Epstein, and denying allegations that the disgraced financier had been the one to introduce her to Trump. Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent who now serves as Trump’s special envoy, later claimed that he was the one to introduce Mrs. Trump to her future husband.

But according to a 2019 FBI interview summary report, one witness – a female from Poland who claimed to have worked for Epstein in the mid-2000s – claimed it was not Zampolli who introduced Mrs. Trump to the future president, but rather, Epstein himself....

A Journalist gave a brutal review of the new Melania documentary, which has been criticized by those who say it won't make back the huge fees spent to make it, saying there was "not a single person in the theater."

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation had already warned that thousands of active-duty military personnel may have been coerced into attending screenings of the Melania documentary. Enter journalist Sharon Waxman, the founder, CEO, and editor in chief of TheWrap.

Waxman said Friday that she "wandered" into a Melania showing, and didn't like what she found there....

Brett Ratner, the successful film director behind the popular “Rush Hour” films and director of the new biographical film about Melania Trump, was exposed a second time in the Justice Department’s publication of Jeffrey Epstein files, only this time with photographs of him “cuddling” a young woman alongside Epstein.

Ratner was first exposed in the DOJ’s release of Epstein files in December, photographed embracing a shirtless Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout and owner of a modeling agency with significant financial backing from Epstein. Brunel died by apparent suicide in 2022 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, much like Epstein allegedly had in 2019.

On Friday, the DOJ released another 3.5 million Epstein files, and buried within them were several never-before-seen photographs of Ratner embracing what appears to be a young woman on a couch next to Epstein. ...
