Brzezinski — as is her custom — went further, saying she believed Trump was “excited” about the prospect of conflict and of deploying the U.S. nuclear arsenal to settle the dispute with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “I just think he wants to use nukes, that’s what I think he feels,” said Brzezinski. “You’ve heard him over the past year. He’s excited about the concept.” Also Read: Mika Brzezinski Threatens to Pull Out of Weinstein Books Deal.

Anthony Bourdain is in New York for a few days following a recent trip to Newfoundland. Before that he was on a fishing trip off the coast of Italy, and before that he was watching fireworks in Sri Lanka, and before that he was in Lagos and skiing in the French Alps and, well, you get the picture. He’ll jet off for some distant location soon enough, but right now the celebrity chef is focused on the premiere of his new documentary, Wasted! The Story of Food Waste, which he executive produced and narrates. Bourdain phoned Et to discuss the film -- and why the fact that one-third of the world’s food is being trashed is one of the greatest “sins” of the 21st century -- the Emmys, and the politics of food in the Trump era.

Donald Trump still won’t tell anyone what he meant when he called a dinner with military commanders “the calm before the storm” earlier this month. Fox News host Sean Hannity brought up the phrase Wednesday during his interview with Trump. Many have interpreted Trump to have been talking about a potential military campaign against North Korea. Hannity asked about “Rocket Man,” using Trump’s name for North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un before responding to laughs from the audience by indicating Trump and saying “his phrase.” At that point, Trump’s answers got a little confusing.

It turns out President Donald Trump does think before he tweets — and even seeks out the counsel of his ex-wife Ivana Trump when doing so.
In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, set to air on Sunday, Ivana says that despite the fact that they divorced in 1992, the president is still a “big part” of her life. The former spouses talk weekly, says Ivana — who has three adult children with Trump: Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka — and he seeks her input often, in particular, on whether or not he should hit the “tweet” button.

If advisors were hoping Donald Trump would tone down his rhetoric about North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, they were likely disappointed tonight by the President’s appearance at a rally in Alabama Friday night. During his speech at a rally for Gop Senate candidate Luther Strange, Trump repeated his “Rocket Man” jab at Kim, and blamed former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. “Rocket Man should’ve been handled a long time ago by Clinton,” Trump said, adding that “I’m not gonna mention the Republicans,” apparently letting George W. Bush off the hook.

In case you live in a bunker — which sounds like a good idea right about now — Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been engaged in a nasty war of words that is starting to look like it could result in a war of war. In their latest battle-rap round about possible actual battle, Kim described Trump as a “frightened dog” and a “dotard.” He promised to “tame” Trump “with fire.” Also Read: Trump Lashes.

It’s “Rocket Man” v. “Dotard” in what might be the only petty insult contest backed by nuclear missiles. Days after Donald Trump gave a speech to the United Nations in which he deployed a new nickname for its dictator Kim Jong-un, the “Rocket Man” himself has replied with some choice disses of his own. In an official statement — no really — Kim calls Trump a “mentally deranged” “dotard” who will “pay dearly.” A dotard, by the way, is “a person, especially an old person, exhibiting a decline in mental faculties” according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Could Kim Jong-un be the next Weird Al?
Donald Trump‘s new nickname of “rocket man” for Kim Jong-un got Late Show host Stephen Colbert thinking about how the North Korean leader would respond to the president’s “pop-based attack” — which he employed once again in a menacing speech at the U.N. on Tuesday.
In a spoof video that aired during his Tuesday night show, Colbert imagined the North Korean leader lampooning Trump’s “ridiculous” Elton John-inspired nickname — because Kim would have gone with The Gap Band’s “You Dropped a Bomb on Me.”

President Donald Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, threatening to “totally destroy” North Korea to defend the United States and its allies if necessary — but that’s not the part of Potus’ speech that has gone viral online. No, the line Twitter users latched onto was Trump’s taunt at Kim Jong-un: “Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime,” Trump said of the North Korean leader. He has called Jong-un a “rocket man” before, but this time it was in the very formal and global view of the United Nations.

If the U.S. is “forced to defend itself and its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump said. He also said that North Korea “threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of life.” “Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime,” Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, repeating an Elton John-themed dig the president.

Too bad!” the president wrote, while also describing a conversation with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in which Trump said he “asked him how Rocket Man is doing.” That’s an apparent reference to Kim, who has been escalating its nuclear ambitions with a series of missile launches and bomb tests that have led to condemnations from neighbors as well as the Un security council — which has stepped up sanctions in.

Raw and intractably real in a number of small indies that you’ve probably never seen (“Tully,” “Flannel Pajamas”), just as good in a handful of larger films that you probably have (“Kinsey,” “August: Osage County”), and even better in three new movies that you’ll be able to see in the next few months (including “I, Tonya” and “Novitiate”), the elfin Massachusetts native may spend the brunt of her time working “Law & Order” gigs on TV, but she has an authenticity that bigger stars can’t buy and a...
