JLo Goes Retro For The “Ain’t Your Mama” Video
Jennifer Lopez has released the video for “Ain’t Your Mama“, and she got in her way way back machine and went girl power vintage for the video. A video that appears to be brought to you by the following companies: Peuterey jackets, Lavazza coffee, xtava hair dryers, Body Lab protein powder, Skinny Stix, Beluga Gold Line vodka and some app called Friendable. There are also so many wigs. But they’re all very necessary to the video, because JLo goes all out with the character work. JLo must have taken a introductory class at The Groundlings, because JLo does so many characters in this video. Let’s meet them all, shall we?
This Dude Is The New Han Solo
If you’re a white dude who is under the age of 30, you definitely auditioned to be the young Han Solo in the latest Star Wars spin-off movie. Disney and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller auditioned thousands of actors, and after screen tests, they reportedly narrowed it down to a few dudes including Jack Reynor (from Transformers: Age of Extinction), Taron Egerton (from Kingsman: The Secret Service) and Alden Ehrenreich (from Hail Caesar!). Miles Teller, Emory Cohen, Scott Eastwood and Ansel Elgort were also in the mix. Deadline says that in the end, 26-year-old Alden Ehrenreich (a name that makes me glad that the copy + paste function exists) beat out all of those bitches and will inherit Han Solo’s hot vest.
Justin Timberlake Finally Made A New Song
Actually, Justin Timberlake’s face above is actually a pretty good description of his new song. It’s a “This isn’t bad” smile that turns into an “Okay, I got the gist of it…you can turn it off now.”
Justin Timberlake hasn’t released a new song since 2013, presumably because he was too busy making a baby and teaching said baby to mug for the cameras and training his hair to curl into gorgeous little Ramen ringlets to make new music. After teasing the release of his newest single “Can’t Stop the Feeling” all damn day on Twitter and Instagram (JT acting like he was releasing the damn McRib II or something), he finally threw it up online. Justin recorded “Can’t Stop the Feeling” for the upcoming DreamWorks film Trolls (which Justin also voices a character in), and yeah, it sounds pretty much like something from a DreamWorks movie. I can practically see the animated Troll in a fedora doing that cocky DreamWorks smirk while singing to it.
All those random cameos in that video aren’t actually that random. Gwen Stefani, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Kunal Nayyar, Ron Funches, and Icona Pop all voice characters in Trolls.
Michael and I talked about this earlier, and his verdict was that it sounded like Bruno Mars meets The Weeknd. Which it absolutely does. It sounds like Pharrell Williams wrote it for Bruno Mars, who passed on it and gave it to The Weekend, who passed on it because it was too vague as to whether or not “the feeling” he was singing about was from cocaine. Then it ended up in Justin Timberlake’s hands, who agreed to do it, because damn if Britney Spears is going to be the only former Mickey Mouse Club member to record a song for a CGI movie about freaky little creatures.
“Can’t Stop the Feeling” isn’t the worst song (although I’m sure my opinion will change after I hear it for the 1 billionth time in the mall this summer). But it really seems like a missed opportunity not to have the lead single from a movie called Trolls performed by troll expert Demi Lovato.

Hot Sluts Of The Day!
Ed Gernon, the dog he rescued and the hummingbird his dog rescued!
This classic tale of love between a dog, a man and a hummingbird is almost two weeks old, but it’s never too old to warm our bitter-crusted rotten hearts on a real-life Disney story. Ed Gernon tells CBS Los Angeles that last year he adopted a German shepherd mix named Rex, and Rex was apparently a mess. Rex was living on the streets, so he was doing what he had to do to survive. Rex hunted for food and scrapped with dogs and cats. Ed says that Rex was “dangerous,” but he adopted him anyway and brought the pooch into his home in Whittier, CA. They were one big happy family and then a new member fluttered on in. Well, she didn’t really flutter on in since the Grim Reaper was circling her, waiting to take her to the great beyond.
One month after Rex moved into Ed’s house, he found a hummingbird who was feather-less and covered with ants. Ed thought that she was dead, but she was still alive and he began to nurse her back to health. During the past year, Ed transformed into Florence Nightingale to care for the down-and-out hummingbird he named Hummer. (Side note: I wish I could make a joke about how my nickname in high school was “Hummer,” but I wasn’t humming on anyone back then.)
Ed feeds Hummer a special sugar formula every 15 minutes during the waking hours and he taught her how to fly again with help from a blowdryer. Hummer naps on his glasses, has her own drinking bowl next to Rex’s and even lets her human Ed kiss her. She’s lived in Ed and Rex’s house for about a year and she’s not looking to fly out of there anytime soon. Ed says that it’s time for her to mate and he leaves the windows open so she can go back into the wild, but she’s like, “And say goodbye to free and easy food? Fuck that.”
Here’s their awww-inducing story:
If that news report featured a scene where Ed twirled around while singing a song as Hummer sat in his hand, it’d be the reboot of Snow White I’ve been waiting for. Disney needs to push aside all of their projects and put all of their focus into making an Ed, Rex and Hummer movie.
