Ann Coulter So Hot for Vance She’s Fantasizing About Trump’s Death
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesAnn Coulter spent much of Tuesday’s debate positively fawning over JD Vance—even to the extent of seemingly posting about Donald Trump’s death.“WOW, VANCE IS GOOD. Cool as a cucumber,” the veteran conservative pundit wrote on X just ten minutes into the vice presidential showdown on CBS, adding in an apparent reference to Trump’s age: “What’s the life expectancy for a 78 YO man?” She later retweeted a post from another account that’d suggested there’s a “high probability [Vance] will be POTUS in our lifetimes,” and went into a complete tailspin after moderators cut him off in the middle of an anti-immigration diatribe.

CNN’s Abby Phillip: Walz ‘Didn’t Seem Prepared’ for Vance’s Debate Plan
CNNCNN’s Abby Phillip was seriously unimpressed with some of Tim Walz’s Tuesday night debate performance against JD Vance, accusing the Democratic vice presidential nominee of repeatedly letting his Republican opponent off the hook and allowing attacks to go unchallenged.“JD Vance came to this debate to land a bunch of punches, and he did,” Phillip said. “He landed a lot of punches in between all the niceties and all of that. And the thing that really stood out to me was that Tim Walz did not seem prepared for it.”“He didn’t respond to a lot of the criticisms and attacks that Vance put on the table,” she continued. “He allowed some clear falsehoods to just go completely unanswered. He allowed JD Vance essentially to dodge on a whole host of issues—on climate change, on the issue of his flip-flopping on Donald Trump. He allowed Vance initially to claim that Trump salvaged the Affordable Care Act—it took him several sentences to get to the part of his answer, Walz’s answer, where he actually responded to that.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

How Lauren Lapkus ‘Let Go’ of Her Lifelong SNL Dream
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for NetflixLauren Lapkus grew up with one goal in mind: someday joining the cast of Saturday Night Live. Now, nearly 20 years into a comedy career that has included scene-stealing roles in everything from Orange Is the New Black to Jurassic World, she has finally been able to “let go” of the way she thought things would go and fully embrace her unique place in the comedy world.It helps, Lapkus explains in this episode of The Last Laugh podcast, that she has now landed lead roles in both broad comedies like 2020’s The Wrong Missy and her latest, the darkly comedic postpartum depression dramedy Another Happy Day. Lapkus also discusses how the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast opened new doors for her and what it was like to go up against Kate McKinnon for that coveted spot on SNL.Lapkus first got the script for Another Happy Day in 2018, but then four years passed before production ultimately began. During that time, the world experienced a global pandemic and Lapkus gave birth to her first daughter (she now also has a 5-month-old baby girl). She ended up being thankful for the long delay because by the time they started shooting, she was able to draw on her own postpartum experience.Read more at The Daily Beast.
