Jack White is in a war of words with the Trump administration.

After Jack White lashed out on social media against President Donald Trump's renovations of the Oval Office — in an Instagram post on Monday, White called Trump's makeover of the White House space “a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room” and “an embarrassment to American history” — the White House hit back, with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung calling the White Stripes frontman “a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.”

It's not the first time White has teed off on Trump, but it's the first time the Trump White House has responded.

White previously slammed Trump for using the White Stripes' “Seven Nation Army” in a campaign video, commenting, “Don't even think about using my music you fascists.” White sued over the song's use, although the lawsuit was later dropped.

In 2022, White pulled his record label, Third Man Records, off X after the social media platform's owner, Elon Musk, allowed Trump to return to the social media platform.

As part of the White Stripes, White is due to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Los Angeles in November.

Aubrey Plaza describes grief over husband Jeff Baena's death, likens it to an 'ocean of awfulness'

Aubrey Plaza has described her grief over husband Jeff Baena’s death, likening it to “a giant ocean of awfulness.”

The actor spoke on the podcast‘’Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” telling her former “Parks and Recreation” costar in her most detailed public remarks to date that it's been a daily struggle to overcome her grief. Writer-director Baena's January death at age 47 was ruled a suicide.

“Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning,” Plaza tells Poehler at the outset of their interview after being asked how she is coping. “I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I’m OK. But it’s like a daily struggle, obviously.”

She likens her grief to an image from an Apple TV+ horror movie starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.

“Did you see that movie ‘The Gorge?’” Plaza asks Poehler. “In the movie, there’s a cliff on one side and then there’s a cliff on the other side, and there's a gorge in between, and its filled with all these monster people trying to get them,” Plaza says. “And I swear when I watched it I was like, ‘That feels like what my grief is like,’ or what grief could be like … where it's like at all times, there’s a giant ocean of awfulness that’s right there and I can see it.”

Plaza adds: “And sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just be in it, and sometimes I just look at it. And then sometimes I try to get away from it. But it’s just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.”

Baena was a writer and director who frequently collaborated with Plaza. He cowrote David O. Russell’s 2004 film “I Heart Huckabees” and wrote and directed five of his own films. Plaza starred in his 2014 directorial debut, the zombie comedy “Life After Beth.”

After largely remaining silent since Baena’s death, Plaza is now promoting her new film, “Honey Don't!” The dark comedy from director Ethan Coen has Margaret Qualley as a private investigator looking into nefarious goings-on in Bakersfield, California.

‘It Ends With Us’ actress Isabela Ferrer accuses Justin Baldoni of ‘harassing’ subpoenas

“It Ends With Us” actress Isabela Ferrer, who starred as the younger version of Blake Lively’s character, claims director Justin Baldoni harassed and attempted to “bully” her amid his enduring legal saga with Lively.

Late last year, the “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, accused 41-year-old Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends With Us” and waging a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni denied all of Lively’s allegations in a $400 million defamation countersuit that has since been tossed. Lively’s case is still set to go to trial in New York next March.

Ferrer, 24, has now filed a rebuttal to Baldoni’s Aug. 12 motion, in which he dubbed her unresponsive to his multiple attempts to issue a subpoena, People reports.

Lively subpoenaed Ferrer in February in relation to the Baldoni legal battle.

This prompted Ferrer to call on Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios to pay her legal fees through an indemnification clause, which the latter allegedly only agreed to uphold if Ferrer would “surrender control” of her response to Lively’s subpoena.

Agreeing to that stipulation would “not actually [allow] Ms. Ferrer to provide the documents that reveal the true facts,” according to her filing.

Instead, she says it was “a transparent attempt to put financial pressure” on her and that once she did respond to Lively’s subpoena, the Baldoni parties began “improperly attempting to exert control over” her.

“Baldoni made no effort to tailor the [new] subpoena toward the production of new or different materials, demonstrating that the real aim of the Baldoni Subpoena, as well as the pending Motion, is to harass Ms. Ferrer,” she alleges, per People.

Ferrer wants the Aug. 12 motion denied and called on the court to “consider appropriate sanctions against Baldoni for his bad faith tactics,” dubbing that motion “the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer,” according to Rolling Stone.

Just last month, Lively sat for her long-awaited deposition in the case, which took place at her lawyer’s office in New York City and was attended by Baldoni.

The Daily News has reached out to representatives for Ferrer and Baldoni.
