Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report. He's on the Bread.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Show, all right, he be This one is for you
because Jimmy Donaldson aka mister Beast and his team are
in talks with multiple people to possibly try and save
the TikTok okay. So word is the way wealthy investor
groups see it. If they end up acquiring the US
operations of TikTok, they'll need someone to help maintain and

(00:23):
expand the business. With mister Beats's beast success on social
he could be a great partner. So he would hypothetically
invest in the company and secure equity, becoming a minority owner,
which I never thought I'd be speaking this way during
my entertainer report, my financial report. But we need TikTok
for our mental health. So on Monday night, he took

(00:45):
to x to offer to buy the app so it
doesn't get banned in the US. He gave an update
earlier yesterday saying billionaires have reached out to him. To
be clear, no deal has happened yet, and there's also
a decent chance that TikTok's parent company, Byte Dance, won't
sell to anyone in the US. By the way, the
deadline for The app, which has more than one hundred
and seventy million American users, to be sold by its

(01:07):
Chinese parent company before it's banned in the US is
less than a week away.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh so, TikTok, Yeah, what are your thoughts? You okay?
I mean I've been checking on you periodically.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm not okay, but you know, I'm going through the
stages of grief and I was in denial yesterday. Today
started off with anger. But now I'm ready to celebrate
the journey that TikTok has been.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
We watch were already closing the door like wow.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Kind of there, so you know we I think we
need to have a celebration of life, Okay, to make
sure we send our girl out the right way.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Okay, well that is the theme of Kiki Karrie. Okay
today songs for TikTok.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'll be there.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
So that's in a few minutes. Yeah see I planned
to attend as well.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, I'll be there close close, Thank you. I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
And we were talking about this off the air, but
it is something going on with Michelle Obama. So first
she was absent at Jimmy Carter's funeral, and yesterday we
found out that she won't be at the inauguration Monday.
Barack is going, by the way, I'm sure he'll be
cracking up like he was at the funeral with Trump,
and the decision to not go is a break in
tradition for the ceremony, where former presidents and their wives

(02:07):
typically attend. Michelle has obviously spoken openly about her animosity
towards Trump, whom she accused of putting her family safety
in danger through his rhetoric over the years. In twenty seventeen,
she put those personal feelings aside after Trump won his
first presidential election, welcoming the incoming president and Melania Trump
to the White House for tea ahead of that year

(02:27):
swearing in. In the years after, she spoke about the
experience of sitting on stage as he was inaugurated and
how tough it was now that Trumps did not attend
Obama or I'm sorry Joe Biden's inauguration in twenty twenty one,
amid his claims that he actually won that election. So
I don't know if something's going on with her, if
she simply is not interested in going, But Jason pointed

(02:48):
that out. It's like two things, and I hope she's okay.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, I could see the inauguration, but like the Jimmy.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Curster, the funeral seems like that's odd. It does seem odd.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
She's all right, I know she does, Michelle, right right.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
We can't have another thing where we're editing photos and
you're missing and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Where you are.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
So please please let us know if you need us.
Paris Hilton help the Pasadena Humane Society reunit a cat
displaced by the deadly eaten fire with her family who
lost their home. The cat was found after the fire
destroyed entire neighborhoods, and Paris visited the kitty and asked
her fans to help find the owner. It looks like
it helped, because the shelter told her yesterday the kitty

(03:26):
had been reunited with its family. Unfortunately, they don't have
a house right now, but the cat is at the shelter.
At least they know where the kitty is and we'll
get her once they get everything settle settled.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Paris lost her Malibu home in the Palisades fire, and
she's been doing a ton to give back to others
who suffered similar losses. Her foundation is donating eight hundred
thousand two efforts, including one hundred and fifty thousand to
provide immediate cash assistance to one hundred and fifty families,
which I think the immediate cash is probably something that
they need, like they don't have clothes or food.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Or a place to go.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
So I think that's the key and very important. So
she's doing the Lord's work because the animals are there's
so many. We saw a guy the other day get
reunited with his dog. I can't imagine the little doggie
was living in the rubble for five days. It's just heartbreaking.
So she's doing her part to help. By the way,
