Robert E. Kelly, who teaches at South Korea’s Pusan National University, was only a few seconds into his interview when his daughter marched into his home office. After Kelly pushed her away, a second child rolled up in a walker. Then their mom rushed into the room and dragged the kids away.

Scarlett Johansson stepped into the shoes of Ivanka Trump on this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live. (WATCH HERE) The actress debuted her impression during a pre-taped short for a fake perfumed called Complicit, in which the voice over explained, “Complicit. A fragrance for the woman who could stop all this, but won’t.” Later, Johansson appeared in a skit called “Translator” to try and talk sense into her dog Max–who supports Donald Trump. But when Johansson told her pup, “Max, you’re just a dog. You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Max replied, “It’s just that condescending attitude that made people vote for Trump in the first place!” Musical guest Lorde also stopped by to perform “Green Light” and “Liability.”

It’s been revealed that Adele sneaks into her concerts past unsuspecting fans by being wheeled to the stage in an equipment box that’s designed for carrying amps and instruments. “She has an iPad in there to keep her entertained, but it is a very sweaty and unglamorous part of the show for Adele to get through,” an insider tells The Sun. The source adds, however, that “she’s down to earth and jokes about it.” Adele has hinted that she will confirm her unconventional method of travel at the end of her tour. “How I get to this stage makes me so sweaty. I’m drenched,” she told fans during her concert in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday. “I can’t tell you until the end–you’ll laugh when you find out.”
