Kim Cattrall has given her stamp of approval to Selena Gomez's TikTok tribute to Samantha Jones. The 67-year-old played the confident public relations professional in Sex And The City and recently reprised the fan-favourite character during a guest appearance in the season two finale of the spin-off series And Just Like That... But an iconic quote from Samantha Jones has been going viral on TikTok, from a SATC scene where a married lover of hers calls to inform that he has broken up with his wife - only for her not to recognise who he is. "I told my wife," the man said on the phone, to which Jones replied: "Who is this?" Many people have been miming the scene on TikTok, including Selena Gomez who made the video to promote her new single called Single Soon which dropped today (August 25). The video received over 43.2m and so managed to gain the attention of Cattrall herself. Taking to Twitter/X, the actor retweeted the clip and in the quote tweet wrote: "I approve this message," with the lip print emoji. Fans loved seeing Cattrall interact with Gomez's tribute to her character. Meanwhile, Catrall's And Just Like That cameo was 71 seconds long in a short but sweet appearance where she spoke to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) on the phone from a taxi as she couldn't make it to New York to say her goodbye's to the apartment Carrie is moving out of due to her flight being delayed. Elsewhere, Selena Gomez video has fans convinced she's shading Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez wrapped in a blanket has become an instant meme.

A New Yorker piece has gained a lot of attention after revealing that American comedian Hasan Minhaj made-up a lot of the stories at the centre of his comedy, and fans are outraged. Minjah, an Asian American and Muslim American, based a lot of his comedy around those experiences, and his Netflix series Patriot Act won an Emmy. Speaking to writer Clare Malone, Minjah told her "every story in my style is built around a seed of truth". In a Patriot Act segment Minhaj tells the disturbing story of a letter sent to him filled with a white powder that spilled onto his young daughter, who was subsequently rushed to hospital. It turned out not to be anthrax, but served as a reminder of the consequences of Minhaj's comedy. But Malone did some digging and found at there is no record of such an incident. Not from the NYPD, local hospitals, or front-desk and mailroom employees at Minaj's former residence. During her conversation with Minhaj, he admitted that "his daughter had never been exposed to a white power, and that she hadn't been hospitalised". He told Malone that he didn't think he was manipulating his audience when she asked, "It's grounded in truth," he said. Another well known story of Minhaj is from his 2017 Netflix special Homecoming King, where he talks of a white girl he had a crush on, kissed, and invited to prom, only to show up the night of the dance to the girl going to prom with another guy. Onstage, Minhaj said that the girl's parents didn't want their daughter to take pictures with a brown boy because they were concerned what relatives may think. "I didn't know that people could be bigoted even as they were smiling at you," Minhaj says during the show. But the woman in the story disputes it, saying that she had turned down Minhaj, then a close friend, days before prom. Minhaj admitted this was correct, but said he had a different understanding go her rejection and there was an "emotional truth" to the story. The woman also shared that she had faced online threats and doxing for years after Minhaj failed to successfully disguise her identity. According to some former Patriot Act employees, members of the research team felt he could be dismissive of the fact-checking process. Malone reported that, "in one instance, Minhaj grew frustrated that fact-checking was stymying the creative flow during a final rewrite, and a pic of female researchers were asked to leave the writers' room." In a written statement, Minhaj insisted that "fact-checking at Patriot Act was extremely rigorous". When fans and viewers of Minhaj's content read Malone's piece, they were shocked and appalled. Some called his ego "terrifying", whilst others said it is "not okay to make up instances of threat over journalism".
