au revior paris, hello hollywood!
With beauty, thoughtfulness and art, The City of Light handed off the iconic flame to Hollywood tonight and LA did what LA does. First, we dropped our biggest action hero off the roof, handed him a flag then tossed him on a motorcycle. F yeah America!
Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA. pic.twitter.com/MxlAb0hZbT

Despite the cheesiness, Tom is a bad ass and he is still doing all his own stunts at 62. And If you have never had it, get yourself a Tom Cruise Coconut Cake. He sends them out to everyone he as ever met every Christmas. Is it expensive? Yes. Is is amazing? Yes, and it’s also the best thing about Tom Cruise.
@stanaustralia Who knew Tom Cruise was a fan of coconut cake?🍰 The brand new season of Hacks is now streaming, only on Stan. #Hacks ♬ original sound - StanAustralia
Anyway, back to Los Angeles and all the 2028 Olympic Fun! The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie EIliish and America's Mascot, Snoop Dogg, hit the stage in Long Beach.
The Kick off to 2028 LA was a vibe.

The Chili Peppers and Billie were great, but no one does it better than Snoop and Dre.

And in sad news, word is, Olympic breakdancing, which was just added to this years games, has come to an end. We won’t see any more wondrously confusing moments like this ever again.

And proving he was the weakest host, and possible man, in the world, we should keep Colin Jost in our prayers too. It didn’t go well for the SNL Star.
But stronger than Iron (and Colin), Simone Biles, the men’s gymnastics team’s break out star Stephen Nedorosick and Team USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson all took home some hardware.
And Sha’Carri’s “I Just Dusted You” stare will go down in history.
@torikimminau she’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment #shacarririchardson #olympics #olympics2024 #paris #paris2024 #olympicsport #running #sprinting #shacarririchardson🏃🏽♀️🔥 #slay #slaytheday #anotherdayanotherslay #usa #olympicgold #goldmedal #track #trackandfield #strongwomen #strongwoman #athlete ♬ USAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - Lawn
Congrats to Team USA for winning the most medals in the world - 126 in total. See you next time in LA.
