Celebrity Buzz with John Mulaney and Tiffany Haddish
ERIKA JAYNE, TOM GIRARDI SUED: Erika Jayne and her estranged husband Tom Girardi are being sued over claims he and others embezzled money from a fatal Boeing 737 airplane crash. The October 2018 flight killed 189 passengers and crew; the civil suit claims Girardi committed fraud and embezzlement. Jayne is named in the complaint as the plaintiff claims he embezzled the money “in order to continue funding his and Erika’s lavish Beverly Hills lifestyles. By all accounts, Girardi keeps engaging in fraud and deception in order to support a never-ending spending spree by himself and Jayne,” the lawsuit states.
JOHN MULANEY INVESTIGATED: John Mulaney was investigated by the Secret Service after he hosted Saturday Night Live, he says on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The comedian dubbed the presidential election an “elderly man contest” and argued that no matter who ended up winning, “nothing much will change in the United States.” He got serious blowback, but the joke about Julius Caesar being a powerful maniac who deserved to be stabbed to death earned him an investigation by the Secret Service. “I guess they opened a file on me because of the joke, and I have to say: Am I stoked there’s a file open on me? Absolutely. Did I enjoy it in the moment? Not so much,” he told Kimmel. Mulaney has since been cleared by the Secret Service.
