Vanity Fair’s “Vanities” party for Hollywood youths marks the official start of Oscar weekend. (kiiiiiilllll meeeeee) I like Barry Keoghan’s fashion 70s dirtbag outfit, and Hunter Schafer, as always, looks incredible. Also, Charles Melton, very handsome, as per usual. (Go Fug Yourself)
In the wake of Bobby Berk leaving Queer Eye, a bombshell Rolling Stone article alleges Jonathan Van Ness is the personality monster in the group, with “daily yelling” and toxic behavior on set. I enjoyed Queer Eye as an emotionally cathartic viewing experience—especially any time Bobby had to confront his roots in a conservative Southern religious community—but I never for ONE SECOND believed those guys actually liked each other.
The worst parts of any episode were always the “we’re having so much FUN together!” parts. Jeremiah Brent is replacing Bobby (downgrade!), but maybe they should just let Queer Eye rest for a while? Or maybe have a team of queer ladies and/or theydies take over, just for something new? The formula gets old quick. (Celebitchy)
For your consideration, Kayleigh Donaldson and the Pajiba team present their Alternative Oscar Nominations. (Pajiba)
Speaking of the Oscars, as usual, Brian Grubb is asking the tough questions, such as “what if we gave the 2024 Best Picture Oscar to 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven”? (UPROXX)
Scientists never rest, are now proposing Tyrannosaurus Rex is actually three distinct Tyrannosaur species! This is not the first time this has happened in our lifetime. Brontosaurus was renamed Apatosaurus, and then, no, scientists decided they’re two separate species so now we have Brontosaurus AND Apatosaurus, and the Velociraptor split into two species, too. The Velociraptors we know from Jurassic Park are actually the larger Utahraptor species, actual Velociraptors are about the size of a big turkey. The “mistake” was initially thinking fossil sets were representative of juvenile and adult examples of the same species, and not two separate species. Science always gets there in the end! (Reuters)
