Jelly Roll isn’t backing down from making jokes at the president’s expense, with the country star once again taking aim at Donald Trump‘s physique during his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

During his monologue on the Wednesday episode of the late-night talk show — where Jelly has been serving as guest host while Kimmel takes a break — the musician brought up the outrage MAGA conservatives and Fox News pundits have expressed in response to his recent jabs at the POTUS. Two nights prior on Kimmel, Jelly had quipped that he’d “lost an entire Donald Trump” when describing his own 300-pound weight loss and at one point joked, “Mr. President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important.”

In an unserious defense of his previous comments, a grinning Jelly told Kimmel’s audience, “I thought fat-on-fat crime was OK!”

“We can debate whether this president is mentally fit, but I think we can all agree he is certainly not physically fit,” the Grammy winner continued before introducing a parody commercial for a fake weight-loss drug called “Donjaro.”

“Is your obesity making it difficult for you to focus on the things you love?” a narrator says over clips of Trump in the faux ad. “Does your butt bulge in ways that defy the laws of physics?”

After the video was over, Jelly said sarcastically: “Wouldn’t it be nice to see Trump lose something besides the war, his popularity and most of his f–king marbles? I believe in you, Mr. President. With a little hard work, one day your waistline will be just as thin as your skin.”

Billboard has reached out to the White House for comment.

Elsewhere in the monologue, the singer poked fun at Trump’s “ridiculous” trade war with Canada, which has reportedly caused a surge in the prices of toilet paper, amongst other things. “You have to admit, there is something poetic about it being so expensive to wipe our a– just because the president’s full of sh–,” Jelly said, earning laughter and applause.

He also disputed Jesse Watters’ recent suggestion on Fox News that Jelly had taken Ozempic and suffered “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a side effect. “First of all, Jesse, I’ll have you know Ozempic is the only drug I haven’t tried,” the CMA Award winner joked. “I lost weight the old fashioned way: cocaine.”

One reason Jelly’s comments have caused as much of a stir as they have is that the star has largely stayed out of politics throughout his music career. He was asked about his thoughts on speaking up about politics backstage at the 2026 Grammys, where he told reporters, “People shouldn’t care to hear about my opinion, I’m a dumb redneck … I didn’t even know politics were f—ing real until I was in my mid-20s in jail.”

“I have a lot to say about it,” he continued at the time. “And everybody’s going to hear exactly what I have to say in the most loud and clear way I’ve ever spoken in my life. I look forward to it.”

Jelly’s final night as substitute for Kimmel will be Thursday (Aug. 27).

“Olivia Rodrigo: the cure unraveled,” an exhibition showcasing the handmade sets, props and artwork created for Rodrigo’s “The Cure” music video, is set to open at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles on Sept. 2 and run through Feb. 22, 2027.

That means the exhibit will be on view from about six weeks before first-round voting for the 69th annual Grammy Awards begins Oct. 12 until 15 days after the awards will be presented at Crypto.Com Arena, which is also in the L.A. Live complex.

Will the exhibit give Rodrigo a boost in Grammy voting? It certainly can’t hurt. Rodrigo is regarded as a strong candidate for nominations in the marquee categories. Her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, seems certain of landing an album of the year nod. She has at least two strong candidates for record and song of the year nods: “The Cure” and “Drop Dead.”

Rodrigo is a Grammy darling, having received three awards from 14 nominations, including best new artist in 2022.

The exhibit, presented by American Express, promises to give fans an intimate look behind the making of Rodrigo’s “The Cure” music video. An expanded version of the exhibit will open in early fall 2026, with additional details to be announced.

The exhibit launches with a special program with Rodrigo on Tuesday (Sept. 1), the evening before it opens to the public. The event includes a conversation moderated by Oscar-winning filmmaker and veteran music journalist Cameron Crowe and live performance.

“I grew up going to the Grammy Museum and their mission is especially important to me, so it’s a full circle moment to be able to work with them on this exhibit,” Rodrigo said in a statement. “It’s the perfect place to feature ‘the cure’ music video pieces that mean so much to me, as well as some incredibly special items from the past decade that we’re later adding that I’ve never shown before. I can’t wait for you all to see them in person!”

Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum curator, added, “Olivia is a pop music creative force and the Grammy Museum is thrilled to showcase the special magic behind a fan-favorite video. This exhibition offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the making of a professional music video, while highlighting the importance of DIY and handcrafted artistry.”

Featuring props from the music video, original storyboards, behind-the-scenes photographs from the shoot, and interactive photo opportunities, Olivia Rodrigo: the cure unraveled invites fans to step directly into Rodrigo’s visual world.

Directed by Cat Solen and Jaime Gerin, the video for “The Cure” follows Rodrigo as she explores the complexities of love and, in the process, finds herself unraveling. The finished video is crafted almost entirely by hand, incorporating miniatures, animatronic heart puppets, and stop-motion animation. Production designer Liam Moore transformed nearly every surface and object with cardboard and hand-painted details.

Rodrigo has two nominations for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards – best pop for “Drop Dead” and best alternative for “The Cure.”

Music lovers have a new obsession: the Mini Brands Really Works vinyl playset, a tiny record player that actually spins and plays music. The set is part of Zuru’s first Mini Brands music-focused collection and has quickly become a standout among miniature collectibles. More than 50 units were bought from Walmart yesterday alone, while Amazon sold over 7,000 in the past month.

So, what does it do? The rechargeable player uses miniature records to play roughly 20-to-30-second song clips and comes with an exclusive mini “APT.” vinyl by Rosé and Bruno Mars. After purchasing the record player, fans can buy the blind balls to collect all 45 vinyls, spanning current hits and older favorites. While many online reviews say the mini record players are a big hit with kids, adult collectors are loving them just as much as well.

The Zuru Mini Brands Really Works vinyl playset series 1 is a functional miniature record player that spins and plays short music clips. It includes the player, a display stand and an exclusive “APT.” vinyl by Rosé and Bruno Mars.

The record player works with the separately sold mini vinyl capsules, letting collectors expand their music lineup. Each record plays a short clip rather than a complete song, and a USB charging cable is included whenever the battery is low, although you don’t need to plug the playset in to turn it on. Amazon customer feedback is largely positive about the novelty item, with one reviewer praising the little details, writing, “I love that they include the actual record sound before the music [starts].”

This Mini Brands Really Works vinyl capsule series 1 includes two blind balls, with four playable mini vinyl records and one surprise accessory in each capsule.

---

Each blind ball contains four randomly selected records featuring licensed artists such as Katy Perry, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy and Chappell Roan. The records work only with the compatible Mini Brands Really Works vinyl player, sold separately, not to be confused with other mini record brands like MGA Miniverse. The full series 1 collection includes 45 records, including rare gold versions. Because the capsules are blind-packed, shoppers should expect the possibility of duplicates while building a collection.

Collectors are drawn to the Mini Brands vinyls because they combine recognizable music with the satisfaction of miniature collecting. Online discussions often praise the detailed records and album sleeves, with some collectors finding them more realistic than competing MGA Miniverse versions. The rechargeable Mini Brands player is another talking point, with users liking the USB charging. Collectors also appreciate the broader mix of newer and nostalgic artists, as well as its surprisingly loud volume for such a tiny toy.

Zuru’s Mini Brands line extends far beyond music, with collections covering food, fashion, toys, books, Disney, home products and buildable Mini Brands Create sets. The company also makes other “Really Works” products, including a miniature kitchen line with working appliances.
