What Else What Else? Dane Cook is 46-years-old and his girlfriend, Kelsi, is 19-years-old (are there any “Kelsi-with-an-I”s older than 25?) and he went on IG to talk about their age difference and he needn’t have used to many words.

BFFs Emma Stone by Jennifer Lawrence Emma Stone, ahead of the release of Netflix’s Maniac, covers the new issue of ELLE and specifically requested to be interviewed by her close friend Jennifer Lawrence.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 15, 2018 Both of these have Will Smith’s face transposed onto Halle Berry’s – the one Will posted is fine. He looks pretty. But the one Halle posted doesn’t do him any favours, which is interesting. Will Smith can’t pull off a pixie cut. A post shared by Will By Maria • Aug 15, 2018 01:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Another award season entrant There are TOO MANY MOVIES. TIFF keeps adding to their lineup—now mulleted medieval Chris Pine is opening the fest—and trailers keep dropping and it’s TOO MUCH.

What Else What Else? I do not remember the original at all. In fact, I just watched it and… nothing. What the f-ck was I doing in 1994? Oh. Right. I was in university, not watching TV and gambling all night instead. This must be why? Or is it because I don’t find By Lainey • Aug 14, 2018 05:38 pm
