Alberto Olmedo, the Spanish hair artiste who is burning hos up in the name of beauty!

Usually nothing good comes from the scent of burnt hair, but at Alberto Olmedo’s salon in Madrid, the scent of scorching hair means that beauty is being made! The ren faire Vince Neil uses fire and swords to cut hair, because dude is probably really, really into Game of Thrones and also because he says the haircut ends up being more even.

“Hairdressers usually cut one side, and then the other. And one side is always different from the other. Even if it is only a little bit… The only way to do it in an exact mathematical way is to cut both sides simultaneously.”

That sounds like a giant pile of flaming bullshit to me, but Alberto Olmedo looks like Fabio if Fabio was a performer at Medieval Times, so that obviously makes him an expert in style and beauty. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing when he flames up a trick’s hair. I still wouldn’t let him near my hair with a blowtorch, because I’d end up looking like the Scarecrow in The Wiz.

Here’s the Dungeons & Dragons Edward Scissorhands in action:

Hmmmmm, I wonder if he trims pubes the same way too?

The look Oscar Isaac is giving while reaching for Daisy Ridley’s hand is the exact same look I give while reaching for the maple dip in a Tim Hortons donut box.

During a Twitter Q&A to promote a little independent film that will barely break even (sarcasm level: 8 billion) called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, future millionaires Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac were asked if they would consider singing a duet together. As if a Star Wars Q&A wasn’t dampening the Internet’s panties enough, they went ahead and did it. Daisy and Oscar sang the beginning of “Baby It’s Cold Outside“, which I’m assuming they chose because it’s a royalty-free Christmas classic and they didn’t have any extra cash in the Star Wars marketing budget to pay Silk for the rights to “Freak Me.” That’s got to be it.

I saw Inside Llewyn Davis, so I already knew that Oscar Isaac could sing. But what I didn’t know is that he could go full-Bublé. And I didn’t hate it! Wait a minute – maybe this is Disney’s way of subtly teasing a remake of the disaster that is the Star Wars Holiday Special. Normally this would be where I shout “Disney ruins EVERYTHING!!!“, but now that I think of it, a remake wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

“Sorry Taylor! Oh who am I kidding, I’m not sorry. Hahahahahah!!”

Adele’s latest album of sad drinking-wine-in-the-bathtub ballads, 25, is on its way to going triple tinfoil (or whatever is higher than platinum), and apparently it’s crushing a whole mess of records on its way there. We already know that 25 is the best-selling album of 2015 and that it took down NSYNC’s 15-year reign as the single week sales record holder. At the time, Billboard figured Adele’s 2,433,000 in pure album sales would go up about 500,000 higher, but according to Variety that number is closer to a million.

25 has now sold 3.48 million copies since it was released on November 20th. 25 also now holds the record for the first album to sell a million copies in two different weeks. Fast forward to next week, and I’m sure we’ll be writing the words “25 is now the first album to sell one million copies in three different weeks“. And then it will go on to be the first album chosen as a national anthem (yes the whole album) before being placed in a rocket with the words “YOU’RE WELCOME – EARTH” spray painted on the outside and shot into space by NASA. At which point, it will start breaking records on the music charts of every other planet in our solar system.

And then hipster aliens from a far away planet who only listen to underground stuff from Pluto will hear 25, get just as obsessed with Adele as we have, and shoot it to the top of the charts of Blorg 6. Adele’s emotional power balads know no galactic limits!

Back in September, a California court gave Caitlyn Jenner the good news that she could stop researching how to hide a tube of lip gloss under the insole of a prison-approved tennis shoe, because she wouldn’t be going away for that car crash in Malibu that left one woman dead. However, she’s still facing a messy mountain of legal shit, and it looks like that mountain just got bigger.

Caitlyn’s first lawsuit was dropped in her lap back in May from the step-children of the woman who died, Kim Howe. About a month later, she was hit with a second lawsuit, this time from the driver of the Prius she hit. Then on Friday, Caitlyn got an early Christmas present in the form of another lawsuit courtesy of driver of the Hummer that collided with Kim Howe’s Lexus. The Wolf-Milesi family claim they sustained serious injuries during the crash, as well as emotional trauma.

Peter Wolf-Milesi says his wrist is all fucked-up and that his wife requires ongoing treatment for blunt-force injuries. As for the emotional trauma part of their lawsuit, they claim that being involved in a crash that resulted in someone dying has caused “tremendous distress and suffering.” They’re suing Caitlyn Jenner for negligence, but it doesn’t say how much cash they’re asking for.

I know Caitlyn is a famous person, and famous people rarely have to pay up when it comes to the law, but three lawsuits is a whole hell of a lot of lawsuits. I don’t know what Caitlyn’s KUWTK and I Am Cait residual checks look like, but she better start thinking about some ways to make a little extra cash. If any of the Kardashians receive an e-vite from Caitlyn to attend a Stella & Dot party or a coupon for a pack of Jamberry nail wraps, they’ll know why.

But for now she can just stick to hitting the pap stroll. Here’s Caitlyn at the DASH store with her youngest kid earlier this week.

I know, I should really change that to “Christian Bale Gave Teresa Palmer The Most Flattering Of Compliments By Mistaking Her For A Stripper“, but I’m afraid that’s too long. So, in case you don’t know who Teresa Palmer is, she’s an Australian actress one-time Russell Brand humper. And according to Christian Bale, she’s also really good at playing a convincing stripper. While promoting his new movie Knight of Cups (in which Teresa plays a stripper named Karen), Batman admitted to the Evening Standard (via E!) that he had no idea that the woman popping her pussy on stage was actually an actress with 27 credits on her IMDB page.

“We were filming in a strip club, and Teresa Palmer’s there in her little silver hotpants and I’m asking her how long she’d been dancing for? Does she enjoy it? What got her into it? I had no idea that she was an actress until about a week after working with her. Suddenly I saw a billboard with her face on it and I went ‘What?'”

However, it’s not entirely Christian Bale’s fault that he didn’t know who Teresa Palmer is. Christian says that a lot of actors in Knight of Cups weren’t professional actors. And even when he did meet an actual actor, director Terrence Malick would tell him that they weren’t. Damn, who knew Terrence Malick was such a shady bitch.

But really, if I was Teresa’s agent, I would be printing out that quote and gluing it to the back of every one of her head shots and changing the Special Skills section of her resume to say: “Managed to portray a stripper so well that an Academy Award-winning thespian like Christian Bale thought she was actually a stripper.” Because honestly, that’s the only skill you need in life.
