Chris Evans Chris X 3: We got a Marvel Bingo!

Media Manipulation Chris Hemsworth gets wet for you And many of you return the favor, but both Lainey and I are on the record with this guy—we don’t get it.

Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar noms: Leo takes out Tom Hanks and Robert Redford Look, if it were up to me, it would be Chiwetel Ejiofor for Best Actor. But as I said the other day, it really is looking like it’s going to be a battle between Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey.
