EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump ‘Hatches Secret Plan to Axe South Park’ Over Show’s Brutal Joke About Prez’s ‘Tiny’ Body Part

**Donald Trump Works to Pull “South Park” from the Air Over Penis Gag**

*Published: October 2, 2025, 4:05 p.m. ET*

Donald Trump is reportedly working behind the scenes to have the animated comedy *South Park* pulled from the air after the long-running series ridiculed the size of his genitals. The move has sparked fears in Hollywood of another politically motivated cancellation, following the controversial temporary axing of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 79-year-old U.S. president was mocked in the latest season of *South Park*, which depicted him naked and accompanied by a talking penis.

### Trump Is ‘Raging’ Over Penis Gag

While *South Park* has lampooned figures across the political spectrum for more than two decades, Trump is reported to have taken extreme personal offense at this particular gag. Insiders claim he is leaning on Paramount executives to shut the show down.

Episode three of the current season was recently unexpectedly delayed, fueling speculation that White House pressure is behind the decision to hold back the episode.

A source close to the production said,
*”Trump has been fuming about the way South Park portrayed him. He’s convinced the writers are obsessed with humiliating him and is now trying to use back-channel pressure to make sure the show doesn’t survive.”*

They added,
*”People on the team think it’s no coincidence that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was abruptly canceled after years of mocking Trump — and they fear *South Park* could be next.”*

### Will *South Park* Be Canceled?

The backlash began after a White House statement dismissed the series as “irrelevant for 20 years” — a line that ironically drove up viewership. Ratings for episode two of the new season doubled those of the season premiere, highlighting the cultural spotlight surrounding the controversy.

Another insider revealed,
*”The president hates being made fun of, especially about his body. He sees the ‘tiny penis’ gag as crossing a line and is determined to punish the creators.”*

They added,
*”The delay of episode three has sent shockwaves through the writers’ room. Everyone is braced for the possibility the plug could be pulled altogether.”*

### Trump’s Warning to *South Park* Creators

The show’s satire has not been limited to Trump. Recent episodes lampooned Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a puppy killer whose surgically altered face slides off, and Vice President JD Vance was portrayed as a diminutive sidekick greasing up Satan. Both figures publicly responded, with Vance sarcastically messaging online: “Well, I’ve finally made it.”

However, Trump’s team is understood to be pursuing a different strategy.

A senior entertainment source explained,
*”What’s alarming is that this isn’t just bluster. Trump has already shown with Colbert and Kimmel that he’s willing to interfere when executives need White House approval for corporate mergers.”*

They continued,
*”Now he’s signaling that Parker and Stone could face the same treatment unless the jokes stop.”*

### ‘It’s Personal’ for Trump

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount in 2021 to deliver new *South Park* episodes and films through 2027. Yet their deal now looks less secure.

The show has withstood controversy before — from caricatures of Saddam Hussein to episodes on Scientology and Muhammad — but the threat of presidential retaliation introduces a new and unprecedented challenge.

An insider said,
*”For Trump, it’s personal. He’s never forgiven late-night hosts for laughing at him, and he sees South Park as even more damaging because it appeals to younger viewers.”*

Following the cancellation of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, insiders believe Trump feels emboldened. He wants to make an example out of *South Park* and scare other networks into line.

Christian Horner ‘approached Formula One team over sensational return to the sport following Red Bull sacking’… but venture broke down after one ‘exploratory talk’

Christian Horner has reportedly approached a Formula One team about a potential return to the sport, but so far, with little success. The former Red Bull team principal, and husband of Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, was given a massive £80 million payoff after being abruptly sacked from his long-term role in July 2024.

Since his departure, Horner has been enjoying his time away from the F1 spotlight. He was seen at an Oasis gig at Wembley, where he was booed, and recently embarked on a road trip through the Scottish Highlands with his wife, Geri. Despite this, it has been revealed that Horner misses Formula One and would be permitted to return from 2026.

The 51-year-old has already begun considering his options. Notably, he chose to accept less than the £110 million that would have been available to him; however, taking the higher sum would have prevented him from returning to a job within the sport for several years, according to Daily Mail Sport’s Jonathan McEvoy.

Several teams—including Haas, Alpine, Ferrari, and Aston Martin—have been linked with Horner’s potential return. Aston Martin, in particular, recently recruited Horner’s former Red Bull ally, renowned designer Adrian Newey, after 19 years working together.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu revealed that Horner approached the American team about a role just months after leaving Red Bull. “Yeah, it is true that he approached us,” Komatsu said ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. “One of our guys had an exploratory talk. And that’s it. Nothing has gone any further. It is finished.”

He added, “I’ve got nothing more to say. Like I said, you write whatever you want. I’m not fuelling that story.”

Horner has been strongly linked with a move to Aston Martin to reunite with Newey. However, “Drive to Survive” cult favourite and former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes that the acrimonious relationship between Horner and Newey in the past year makes such a move highly unlikely.

Newey, widely regarded as the greatest Formula 1 designer in history, reportedly asked to leave Red Bull after becoming unsettled by allegations against Horner. These allegations first emerged in February 2024, accusing Horner of acting coercively towards a female employee. Horner has denied any wrongdoing and was twice cleared by King’s Counsel in internal hearings.

Steiner, 60, told Lottoland:
“In the last year, the problem between Adrian and Christian was one of the reasons why Adrian left Red Bull.
So, bringing Christian back, I don’t think that would work at the moment. I don’t think Aston Martin need Christian right now.
I think there was a lot of unhappiness internally, and something had to change. The change was Christian leaving, and they are just trying to go back to their glory days now.
With Red Bull, we could see it during the last one-and-a-half years where every race weekend there was drama, and that has gone away.
I think Aston Martin with the people they have in place are very well set to show what they can do under the new regulations.”

Aston Martin F1 CEO Andy Cowell has, however, refused to rule out a reunion. He said:
“I think Christian has taken some time out at the moment. He’s probably enjoying time with friends and family. He loves the sport though. I wish him well with whatever he ends up doing in the future.
We have got a strong team. We’ve got a strong team with Adrian at the helm of the technical organisation. And we’re growing and building.
I think Christian’s record speaks for itself. He’s a great competitor. I guess it’s down to Christian to work out what he wants to do. I think we’ve got a strong set-up and we’re marching forward with that.”

For now, it remains uncertain whether Christian Horner will make his much-anticipated return to Formula One, but the motorsport world will be watching closely.

‘Sisterhood of Heartbreak’: Nicole Kidman ‘Leaning on’ Hugh Jackman’s Ex Deborra-Lee Furness as Rumors Swirl Keith Urban Already ‘Moved on With Younger Woman in the Business’ Following Shock Split

**Nicole Kidman Turns to Fellow Aussie Divorcee Deborra-Lee Furness for Support After Splitting from Keith Urban**

*Published: October 2, 2025, 3:30 p.m. ET*

Nicole Kidman is leaning on longtime friend Deborra-Lee Furness as she begins to navigate life following her separation from husband Keith Urban, RadarOnline.com can report.

The *Eyes Wide Shut* star, 58, filed for divorce on Tuesday, September 30, amid rumors that her husband, 57-year-old Urban, is already involved with another woman. In this difficult time, Kidman has found solace in Furness, who also knows firsthand the pain of betrayal, having divorced her ex-husband and fellow Australian actor Hugh Jackman.

### Bonding Over Shared Heartbreak

Furness, who ended her 27-year marriage to Jackman in May, has been rebuilding her life and embracing singlehood. The *Babygirl* star and Furness have grown inseparable, sharing emotional support during their parallel personal struggles.

“They’ve been inseparable,” a source told Hollywood Insider Rob Shuter, who writes on Substack. “Nicole has broken down to Deb more than once. It’s raw, emotional, and very real.”

Another insider added, “Deb keeps telling Nicole, ‘You’ll survive this. You’re stronger than you think.’ It’s the ultimate sisterhood of heartbreak — and they’re determined to rise from it together.”

### Urban Moves Out Amid Divorce

Keith Urban has reportedly already moved out of the home he shared with Kidman, leaving the actress devastated. Friends say the split has been painful, especially given the rumors of Urban’s involvement with another woman, which Kidman apparently suspected before filing.

A source revealed, “Nicole wanted to fight for them, but Keith had already checked out – and she knew why… It wasn’t about distance, schedules, or bad habits. It was about another woman.”

The insider continued, “(Nicole’s) not naïve. She heard the stories, she saw the signs. At some point, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.”

### Prioritizing Their Daughters Amid the Split

Despite the pain and public speculation, friends report that both Kidman and Urban remain focused on their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

“They were last seen together publicly in June at a FIFA World Cup match in Nashville, but court documents confirm they had been living separate lives for months,” sources said. Kidman is expected to become the primary residential parent.

A source close to the family emphasized, “No matter what happens with money, their daughters remain the priority. That’s the one area where they’re completely aligned.”

### Urban’s New Romance Rumors Stir Gossip

Speculation about Urban’s new relationship has intensified, with reports from Nashville suggesting he is romantically linked to a younger woman in the music industry.

An industry insider said, “Everyone in Nashville is buzzing about it. No one knows exactly who she might be, but the rumor is loud enough to make people wonder how it could play into the divorce and the prenup.”

Though neither Kidman nor Urban has commented publicly on the rumors, sources close to them say both are determined to handle their painful split with care and keep their daughters’ well-being front and center.

Goldy Brar gangsters, hired to kill comedian Munawar Faruqui, arrested

**Goldy Brar Gangsters Hired to Kill Comedian Munawar Faruqui Arrested**

*By Chanshimla Varah | October 2, 2025, 11:19 AM*

Two alleged members of the notorious Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar-Virender Charan gang were arrested in Delhi on Thursday for allegedly planning to murder stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui.

The suspects, identified as Rahul and Sahil, hail from Panipat and Bhiwani in Haryana. According to police investigations, they were acting under the orders of foreign-based gangster Rohit Godara, who is known to collaborate with Goldy Brar and Virender Charan.

### Investigation Details: Suspects Conducted Recce in Mumbai and Bengaluru

Authorities revealed that the suspects had conducted reconnaissance operations in Mumbai and Bengaluru to track Munawar Faruqui’s movements. Faruqui is not only a prominent comedian but also a popular reality TV star, having won *Bigg Boss* in 2024 and boasting 14.2 million Instagram followers.

Of note, Rahul was already wanted in connection with a triple murder case that occurred in Yamunanagar, Haryana, in December 2024.

### Arrest Operation: How Police Nabbed the Suspects

The police acted swiftly after receiving a tip-off about the presence of the suspected shooters near New Friends Colony. A trap was set up on Kalindi Kunj-Pushta Road, where a suspicious motorcycle was observed around 3:00 AM.

When officers signaled the suspects to stop, they opened fire, triggering an exchange of gunfire. Both Rahul and Sahil sustained gunshot injuries to their legs before being apprehended.

### Evidence and Aftermath

Both injured suspects were immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment. During the operation, the police seized the firearms used in the encounter along with the motorcycle.

This incident comes against a backdrop of increased attacks on celebrities in the region. Just weeks earlier, on September 12, two gunmen on a motorcycle fired shots outside actress Disha Patani’s residence in Bareilly. The Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar gang claimed responsibility for that attack as well.

Authorities continue to investigate the gang’s activities as security measures around public figures are heightened.

EXCLUSIVE: Radar’s Deep Dive into Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Divorce Papers — Including Broken Couple’s Astonishing Child Custody Plans

**Nicole Kidman Gains Primary Custody of Daughters Following Split from Keith Urban**

*October 1, 2025 | Published 7:50 p.m. ET*

Nicole Kidman will take on primary custody of her teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, following her split from country singer Keith Urban, RadarOnline.com can reveal after reviewing the couple’s newly filed divorce papers.

### Custody Agreement Details

Court documents show that Kidman, 58, and Urban, 57, have reached a unique custody arrangement. The actress has been granted custody of the girls for 306 days a year, while the musician will have them for just 59 days.

Under the terms, Urban will have their daughters—Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14—from 10 a.m. on Saturdays until 6 p.m. on Sundays every other weekend. The documents also specify that major decisions regarding education and activities must be made jointly by both parents.

A source close to the case explained, “Nicole’s priority was making sure the children had consistency, and the agreement reflects that. Keith will spend less time with them but will remain involved in major decisions.”

### Holidays and Financial Arrangements

The divorce papers further outline how holidays will be shared between Kidman and Urban. Kidman will have custody on Mother’s Day and Easter, while Urban will spend Father’s Day and Thanksgiving with the girls.

Neither parent will pay child support, as Urban has already prepaid his obligations in full, according to the court. Both Kidman and Urban are required to complete a parenting seminar within 60 days.

The notarized custody plan was signed by Kidman on September 6, with Urban signing a week earlier. Importantly, the agreement stresses that both parties must refrain from disparaging each other in front of the children and encourage their daughters to maintain healthy relationships with both parents.

Court costs will be shared equally, and both child and spousal support have been waived.

### End of a 19-Year Marriage

Kidman filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Once considered one of Australia’s most enduring celebrity couples, Kidman and Urban have been living largely separate lives due to demanding filming and touring schedules.

Sources close to Kidman say the speculation surrounding their relationship has been difficult for her. A friend shared, “The idea that Keith might already be moving on has been painful for Nicole. She has always placed a high value on loyalty.”

### Public Signs of Strain

The couple was last seen together publicly in June at a FIFA World Cup match in Nashville, Tennessee. Since then, Urban has been on his High and Alive world tour, currently performing in Pennsylvania, while Kidman remains at the couple’s $4 million Nashville home with their daughters.

Earlier this year, Urban hinted at marital tension when he abruptly ended a radio interview after being asked about Kidman’s intimate film scenes in *Babygirl* and *A Family Affair*. Meanwhile, Kidman suggested strains in their marriage during promotion for her Netflix series *The Perfect Couple* in September, stating, “There’s no perfect anything. Anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.”

### Family Background

Kidman was previously married to actor Tom Cruise, 63, for 11 years. Together, they adopted two children, Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30.

Despite their separation, the court filing emphasizes that both Kidman and Urban are expected to provide a “loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship” for their daughters.
