Elon Musk proudly acknowledged one more new title as he joined Donald Trump to wallow in the MAGA joy at Mar-a-Lago: “the George Soros of the right.” Freshly named to head up a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” Musk joined the president-elect on a trip to the White House Wednesday. Returning to Trump’s Florida resort, they made a surprise appearance at the A1Policy conference, where Musk quickly put his hand up after one of the speakers asked: “Where is the George Soros of the right?” Soros, the Hungarian-American billionaire, has thrown his fortune behind numerous progressive causes, becoming a bête noire for the right. Musk himself tweeted in 2023 that Soros wanted “nothing less than the destruction of Western civilization.” According to the Daily Mail, Trump himself took the stage to joke about his “first buddy.” “‘Elon won’t go home,” he said. “I can’t get rid of him. Until I don’t like him.” The pair then joined opera singer Chris Macchio for a rendition of “God Bless America,” although, as the Mail reported, there was one “glaring problem”: the South African-born Musk didn’t seem to know the words.

Right-wing Fox News host Jesse Watters reacted to President-elect Donald Trump’s latest round of administration announcements on his show, Jesse Watters Primetime, on Wednesday night. Listing off their names—including Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, Matt Gaetz as attorney general, and Fox host Pete Hegseth as defense secretary—Watters expressed his support. “Pete’s a decorated army combat vet... he hasn’t been corrupted by decades in Washington, he wasn’t made by the machine,” Watters said in response to criticism by numerous identities including MSNBC’s Joy Reid and The View’s Whoopi Goldberg. “Trump’s picking stars he can trust to watch his back and enact his agenda, and they’re rolling them out fast and fun,” Watters said. “The country senses it’s on the precipice of massive change, and we’re excited, and I’m not just saying that because I know the entire Cabinet and that I’ll be asking for special favors,” Watters added. “Probably inappropriate but doesn’t hurt to ask,” he continued with a smile.

Now that the temps are (finally!) beginning to dip, cozying up in a blanket on the couch in honor of cuffing season is non-negotiable. Whether I’m having a slow morning with coffee or settling in for movie night, I love nothing more than cocooning myself in a luxury blanket. Of course, as an interior design enthusiast, I appreciate how a chic throw can instantly elevate your living room sofa and signal the change of seasons.

Fall and winter are the perfect time to incorporate heavy knits and faux fur into your home decor lineup, so when Lola Blankets reached out to see if I’d like to try one of their throws, it was a no-brainer.

Lola Blanket

$109-$299

Lola Blankets proudly claims that they have the internet’s softest blankets and spoiler alert: I think they’re right. Each blanket is vegan, cruelty-free and made of the softest faux fur imaginable. It’s double-sided, so you can’t escape the coziness, and the ruching in the design is achieved with elastic, so there’s a slight stretch to it. They’re available in three sizes—the large is big enough for a queen-sized bed, the medium would be perfect for the sofa and there’s even a baby blanket.

I have the brand’s large-sized blanket that travels around my house, because the blanket is just that good. It stays on the bed for especially chilly nights. I move it to the sofa for extra cozy reading time, and it goes on my lap while I’m working. Even the dog will seek it out when she wants to take a nap. Everyone in my household is in love. And, for pet and children owners, Lola Blankets are shed-free, stain-resistant and machine washable (in cold water), so they’re easy to care for, too.

Pros:

• Machine washable.
• Stain resistant.
• Double-sided.
• Slightly stretchy—perfect for sharing with a partner or pet.
• Doesn’t shed or pill.
• Vegan and cruelty-free.
• Available in three sizes.

Cons:

• Hang-dry only.
• Slightly expensive (but worth the price!).

These luxury blankets come in a variety of colors, ranging from warm neutrals to bold prints. I have one in cocoa butter, which is a mix of cream and light tan that looks equally gorgeous on my off-white sofa, as well as my bed. And while this specific colorway is sold out, Caramel N’ Cream is very similar! I’m so happy to have this blanket for the holiday season and beyond. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the internet’s softest blanket—it’s a worthwhile investment and you totally deserve it.

Melania Trump doesn’t mind Elon Musk—at least, that’s what a source told Page Six Wednesday. “Melania likes Elon,” they told the outlet, after Musk’s increasingly frequent presence around Donald Trump has drawn questions. The source noted Melania has even “been around more.” Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy were recently given roles in a fake government “department” that’s apparently designed to ensure efficiency in government, even though it’s run by two people. As for Melania’s set-up, it doesn’t look like she will be living in the White House during her second stint as first lady, CNN reported Wednesday. She is expected to spend a “significant amount of time” at Trump Tower in Manhattan, partly because Barron Trump is enrolled at New York University. Donald Trump, apparently, doesn’t mind Melania’s less public role recently, according to the outlet. There “is no internal backlash among the president-elect’s team,” a source told them. Melania Trump didn’t attend her husband’s White House meeting Wednesday with President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is recovering from a “mild stroke” that occurred Nov. 2 at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center, the team said in a news release Wednesday. “Popovich, who has already started a rehabilitation program, is expected to make a full recovery,” their statement read. “At this point, a timeline for his return to the sidelines has not been determined. During this time, the organization is grateful to the extended community for providing privacy and space to the Popovich family.” This season is Popovich‘s 29th as San Antonio’s head coach. The 75-year-old is the NBA’s winningest coach, as well as its oldest. His coaching career began in 1973 as assistant coach at Air Force Academy. He has since won five NBA titles as head coach, and was three times named the league’s coach of the year, most recently in 2014. Spurs general manager Brian Wright said Popovich’s health scare had resulted in a “difficult time for everyone,” adding: “Coach Pop has been the leader of this organization for the last three decades. We all have come across or know people that just have a different aura, a difference presence about them. Clearly, he’s one of those people. When we walk into the building each and every day, we feel that leadership, we feel that presence and so not having him there’s clearly a void. And we miss him.”

Dick Van Dyke doesn’t think he will live to see another Donald Trump term in the White House—and that’s perfectly fine with him. Dyke, who turns 99 next month, was spotted out and about with his 52-year-old wife in California when he was asked about Trump’s return to office. Leaning into his famous sense of humor, Dyke made a dark joke: “Fortunately, I won’t be around to experience the four years.” The quip comes after Dyke endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Nov. 5 with a rousing speech he originally read in 1964 at an event on stage with Martin Luther King Jr. “I used to sing and dance and fall down a lot, actually,” he said in the video. “To those who tell us the inequality of the human animal is a necessary evil, we must respond by simply saying that first, it is evil, but not necessary.” His message being, “Hatred is not the norm.” When asked if the future of the country looks bright, Dyke responded: “I hope you’re right!”

A man was found dead inside a tanning bed at an Indianapolis Planet Fitness Monday. The man, identified as 39-year-old Derek Sink, was reported missing on Sunday, two days after he arrived at the gym, People reports. Sink had substance abuse issues and wore an ankle monitor, which helped police locate the body. Family members told local NBC affiliate WTHR that investigators found a needle in the room, though the Marion County Coroner’s office has yet to “determine the exact manner and cause of death,“ police told People in a statement. The Planet Fitness in question was also open on Saturday and Sunday, raising questions as to how a dead body went undiscovered for three days. In a statement, the company said it was “deeply saddened by the passing of one of our members,” and that it has “robust operational brand protocols in place, as the safety and well-being of our members is our top priority. We are working closely with our local franchisee to ensure they are upholding those brand protocols.”

Democrats are seeking to clarify language in the Constitution to make sure the two-term limit for presidents applies even if the terms are not consecutive. The resolution, led by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), will be introduced in the House of Representatives on Thursday, according to the New York Times. The proposed resolution states that the 22nd Amendment, which declares that a person who has been elected president twice cannot run again, “applies to two terms in the aggregate” and leaves no loophole. While it is unlikely that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will bring Goldman’s resolution to a vote, the initiative comes on the heels of comments made by President-elect Donald Trump, who reportedly joked with House Republicans on Wednesday about running for a third term in 2028. “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out,’” he told the group. In July, Trump also mused about remaining in the Oval Office indefinitely, telling attendees at a conservative Christian event that they “won’t have to vote anymore” if he won the 2024 election.

Right before the holiday season, the man responsible for Disney‘s Air Bud has narrowly escaped homelessness after telling TMZ he was going to be evicted from his shelter. Kevin DiCicco, the person who owned and trained Buddy (the dog featured in the famous film franchise), has been saved by crowdfunding. He told TMZ that he was terrified to be kicked out of his San Diego shelter due to the day limit, and an old friend sprung into action and made a GoFundMe for him. As of Wednesday afternoon, the campaign has raised over $11,500 out of its $200,000 goal. However, DiCicco told TMZ he now can afford a studio apartment, and medical care to help with his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which has been a roadblock for him. Not only is he no longer facing homelessness, but he has an idea to create an app to help owners teach their dogs sports. According to DiCicco, he never received much payment for the Air Bud gig. Buddy died in 1998, a year after the first film was released. “I was the Production Manager on Air Bud and my wife and I also did Air Bud 2. Those experiences were the best of my entire working career,” wrote one donator on the GoFundMe. “Buddy was the most amazing dog and his basketball skills were legendary!”

The acclaimed British actor Timothy West has died peacefully in his sleep at age 90, his children announced in a statement on the social media platform X. During his 60-year career, West dazzled on both the screen and the stage, repeatedly starring in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and King Lear and portraying Winston Churchill in three separate films. He began his entertainment career as an assistant stage manager at the Wimbledon Theatre, the BBC reported, before eventually joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early 1960s. In the 1970s, he starred in BBC adaptations of Shakespeare’s Richard II and Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II, and in the 1980s, he appeared in the comedy drama series Brass and the Agatha Christie series Miss Marple. He had a memorable turn in the 2000s on the soap operas Coronation Street and EastEnders. And from 2014 to 2019, he hosted the popular Channel 4 series Great Canal Journeys with his wife of 61 years, Fawlty Towers star, Prunella Scales. “Tim was with friends and family at the end,” his children wrote. He is survived by Scales, a sister, three children, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. “All of us will miss him terribly,” they said.
