Gwyneth Paltrow Explains Why She Doesn’t Really Want To Act Anymore
Thanks to more than a decade’s worth of enthusiasm for questionable health claims and dubious wellness treatments, it’s sometimes easy to forget that Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t always been a youth-and-vagina obsessed high-end snake oil pseudo-scammer. And as it turns out, there’s a whole generation of babies born that will never know Gwyneth as an actress. According to Gwyneth, she’s totally done with acting.
Adam Driver Walked Out Of An Interview Because He Didn’t Want To Hear A Clip Of Himself
I don’t personally know anybody who likes the sound of their recorded voice, myself included (even though we all know plenty of people who love nothing better than to hear themselves talk in real time). And if Adam Driver’s recent actions during a taping for NPR’s Fresh Air are any indication, Adam not only hates it, he simply cannot! According to The Daily Beast, Adam walked out (spiritually, if not physically, the interview was remote) on Fresh Air’s host Terry Gross in the middle of an interview because she played a clip from Marriage Story. I’m like, damn, stars, they really are just like us. Academy award nominated actor Adam Driver also thinks he sounds like an insufferable tween girl with a brain injury when he hears himself on tape!
The “Peloton Husband” Speaks!
Of all the people taking that Peloton ad too seriously, Sean Hunter, the guy who plays the husband for all of 5 seconds, is taking it the most seriously of all. According to The New York Post, Sean wrote a blog post for Psychology Today, and with absolutely no sense of irony or humor, complained that his burgeoning acting career has been tainted (yes, he actually used the word “taint” with a straight face) by the negative reaction the commercial has received. Sean lamented “my 5 seconds of air time created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face.” Quick, close your eyes — what does Peloton Husband look like? a.) A generic looking white dude, b.) Was the husband actually in the commercial?, or c.) Sean Hunter from Vancouver, the literal embodiment of the patriarchy, who will never work again, not after what he pretended to do to that poor woman with the knitted brow. Answer key after the jump!
Brad Pitt Says He Can’t Compete With Tom Hardy And Christian Bale
Brad Pitt is an extremely rich and famous white man. I am none of those things. So imagine my surprise at learning that Brad and I have more in common than meets the eye. According to a new interview coming out in GQ, Brad loves watching Tom Hardy. Which is crazy because I also love watching Tom Hardy! Almost more than I love anything else in this godforsaken timeline. If I had a child, and I had to choose between never seeing that child’s face again, and never seeing Tom’s old MySpace pictures again, I’d be running my hand over that child’s face once a year like that lady in Lionel Ritchie’s Hello video to track their facial maturation. However, I don’t think Brad and I are into watching Tom for the same reasons.
The First Trailer For “Honey Boy” (AKA The Movie Where Shia LaBeouf Plays His Own Dad) Is Here
After seeing paparazzi pictures of Shia LaBeouf looking Steve Jobs’ brother who sold stolen iPhones from the trunk of his Chrysler LeBaron, we can finally see what it was all for. The first trailer for Honey Boy was dropped by Amazon today, which is of course the film written by Shia and starring Shia as a barely fictionalized version of his own weird stage father, and Lucas Hedges as a barely fictionalized version of adult Shia.
Terrence Howard Accused The Writers On “Empire” Of Bad Writing And Not Understanding His/Their Character
Terrence Howard is about to get his best friend and closest confidant, Lucious Lyon, killed if he keeps on the way he has been. Page Six talked to Terrence at the season 5 premiere of Empire and he used the opportunity to criticize the writers of the show about their lack of insight and knowledge of exactly who Lucious Lyon, his character on the show, is. Terrance says Lucious isn’t the bad guy he’s written to be, he’s actually a good guy, if only those ignoramuses who wrote the character could understand.
