Trump Golf Club Settlement Hangs Alina Habba Out to Dry
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/GettyDonald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, paid $82,500 last week to settle a lawsuit alleging that it had silenced a sexually harassed waitress by tricking her into an unfair hush money deal, according to the ex-employee’s lawyer.But the curiously worded contract left the former president’s own attorney Alina Habba—a rising star in his orbit—wide open to getting sued herself.Trump and his top advisers are already a magnet for legal trouble. Habba, who already settled a discrimination lawsuit by her former legal secretary, is no exception. But now she faces the wrath of Alice Bianco, who was once a waitress at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, the real estate tycoon’s summertime abode.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Breaking Down (Almost) Every Pop Culture Reference in ‘Girls5Eva’
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/NetflixFor the pop culture obsessive, Girls5Eva is nothing short of a gold mine. Practically every other line contains a thrilling little nod to a moment in pop culture history, whether it be a has-been pop star, a modern-day icon of the music industry, an HBO prestige drama or a hyper-niche meme.Filled with wacky, but actually good, fake pop songs (that are often earworms and sometimes tearjerkers) and quickfire comedy that recalls its natural predecessor 30 Rock, Meredith Scardino’s musical comedy is currently enjoying its resuscitation in the form of a third season and full relaunch on Netflix after being canceled by Peacock in 2022. The show follows a group of ex-girl group stars, Dawn (Sara Bareilles), Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry), Gloria (Paula Pell), and Summer (Busy Phillips), who reunite after 20 years to rekindle their group.Girls5Eva makes no secret that it’s parodying the wild and hyper-specific landscape of the ’90s pop music industry, frequently cutting to clips of the girls on MTV, in conversation with Carson Daly, performing in increasingly ludicrous, sexist music videos, giving all-access tours of their bus, and even taking part in tasteless charity Christmas pop songs. For anyone who grew up watching the Spice Girls, NSYNC, S Club 7, and the Backstreet Boys, it’s all instantly recognizable stuff.Read more at The Daily Beast.
