I posted earlier about Matt Damon. Now connect the dots between Matt’s mansplaining and man-worries to Russell Simmons and his bullsh-t #NotMe movement. While we’re at it, let’s talk about lie detector tests. Or the “polygraph test”. I listened to an episode of This American Life this past summer about the “polygraph” called Mr Lie Detector that’s worth your time and that might encourage you to think differently about the polygraph test. It’s about a man who used to administer them, knows exactly how they work, and has now dedicated his life to discrediting the practice. And then afterwards, maybe send the link over to Russell Simmons. (Dlisted)
The Battle of the Hollywood Chrises has become like Kardashians, there are so many side battles you can have with the Chris-off. Like, it’s not enough to debate which Chris is the best Chris, we are now talking about which Chris wears the best beard. Now that I think about it, the Chris beard-off might actually be the most competitive Hollywood Chris side battle. Because while I don’t love a beard, they all kinda look good in a beard. (Pajiba)
This. Is. SOOOOO Drake. So Drake! Black and white photo. Alone at a table. Looking forlornly at the camera. (“The horn, the horn, sounds so forlorn.” Just made me think of that scene in Sleepless In Seattle.) And of course he’s crushing on someone new. This time it’s Angelina Jolie. You know… now that I think about it, I don’t hate the idea. (Mashable)
There is now a statue of Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits and a photo of JCVD doing a kick in front of himself doing the splits which is as amazing to look at as it is to say and read. And it made me realise that JCVD kicking and splitting is a show business institution that has been grossly underappreciated. (Go Fug Yourself)
Not that you needed more confirmation that Dustin Hoffman is gross. But also? He’s arrogant. Because remember when Dustin Hoffman denied the allegations against him and sanctimoniously told John Oliver that he was out of line for challenging him and some people were like, ohhhhh leave Dustin Hoffman alone? Is that what they call poking the bear? My friend Traci Melchor calls it coming in “wrong and strong”. Dustin Hoffman came in wrong and strong. And the women he once wronged decided to come back even stronger. (Cele|bitchy)
The Rock’s daughter looks like baby Zendaya. And Zendaya agrees. And the first thought that came to mind was …The Rock doing a remake of True Lies, in the Arnold Schwarzenegger role with Zendaya as his daughter in the part originally played by Eliza Dushku. This is probably a terrible idea. (Teen Vogue)
