But why? Reynolds is an incredibly handsome and effortlessly charming actor and, historically speaking, incredibly handsome and effortlessly charming actors haven’t felt the need to be too funny. Demonstrate a sense of humor? Sure, but George Clooney chats about onset pranks. Reynolds seems to have gone full method on Twitter in an effort to bolster not only Deadpool marketing, but the popularity of a Van Wilderian persona. It’s a curious gambit that seems to work largely because Reynolds actually is funny (or is good at paying others to be funny)....

Of course, the Post-its stopped appearing. The bit wore thin, yes, and so did my wife’s patience for notes slapped to her forehead. Such nonsensical signs of affection were fine in the beginning, but we didn’t need that shit now. Still, there’s something to be said about writing notes to your spouse. Not texts, not emails, but handwritten notes that you spend some time composing. Because these days, the act of writing — of actually writing — is a great way to show someone you really do mean what you say....

Kylie and Travis welcomed their son, Wolf Webster earlier this month. Joining his older sister Stormi, fans weren’t surprised that the parents went with a name that’s more unique. But what was surprising about their son’s name is that he was also given a middle name — although Stormi was never given one, at least to our knowledge. According to TMZ, Wolf’s birth certificate states he was given the middle name Jacques....

In their opener at the women’s World Cup, held in France on Tuesday, the American team bested Thailand 13-0. This led not to joy, or pride, or flag-waving. No, folks. Instead, the mad-talented team was openly criticized for scoring too much and celebrating too hard. Apparently, some people think it’s bad manners to be great at your job and to be proud of it, too. But, this kind of thinking is nuts and bad for all genders....

We didn’t start sleeping apart. When we first began dating, passion was raw and wild. It wasn’t uncommon to exhaust ourselves and then pass out in a warm, loving embrace. By the morning, though, we’d often find our positions tectonically shifted. I’d be on the floor. She’d have rolled into the dead zone between the wall and the bedside. Usually her dog wound up with most of the real estate....

In a September 2019 press conference about the dangers of vape companies and e-cigarette brands targeting teens, Trump said: “We can’t have our youth be so affected, and I’m hearing it, and that’s how the First Lady got involved. She’s got a son, together, that’s a beautiful young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it.” Okay, so props for calling Barron a “beautiful young man.” Way to channel some John Lennon vibes....

What is Ballers About? Ballers is backed by the same guys that created Entourage, and it feels like it. As the stylistic heir apparent to the show which dove head first into the sex and drug-addled world of Hollywood’s elite class, Ballers revels in the glamorous and the seedy. Only instead of Hollywood, the show’s about the professional sports world. Dwayne Johnson plays Spencer Strasmore, a retired NFL player whose found new meaning in his life by becoming a financial advisor to other NFL players....

The highly anticipated special, which all six principal cast members had agreed to participate in, was supposed to premiere along with HBO Max, the streaming service that wrested the rights to the sitcom away from Netflix. That didn’t happen, but in a remote appearance on The Tonight Show, David Schwimmer told Jimmy Fallon that tentative plans have been made to film in quarantine. “It’s supposed to happen maybe in August — the middle of August, but honestly, we’re gonna wait and see another week or two if we all determine it’s really safe enough to do,” he said....

Co-creator and star Nick Kroll announced the new show, cleverly titled Human Resources, at New York Comic-Con last week. It will be set in the world of the monsters instead of the humans, seen before in one season 2 episode. “It’s a workplace comedy that takes place in the world of the monsters … about the monsters and creatures and everything else that manages people.” Along with the shift from the human world to the monster world, Kroll said that the new show would tell stories about people of all ages....

Over the weekend, The Sun and other British tabloids reported that “Yes, it’s true. Bond is a dad.” This report was later republished in The New York Post. While none of these papers are ironclad sources worthy of MI-6, there’s a good reason to believe, and hope, that this particular rumor is true. Most of James Bond’s biggest fans are dads and the one thing standing between dads really connecting to Bond is his apparent lack of parental responsibility....

Rugrats, in the works since 2018, premiered May 27 on Paramount+, with an hour-long first episode, “Second Time Around.” Episodes will also air later this summer on Nickelodeon. Fatherly recently chatted much of the voice cast, including E.G. Daily, Cheryl Chase, Cree Summer, Kath Soucie, and Nancy Cartwright (who is actually even more famous as the voice of Bart Simpson since day one of The Simpsons), who reprise their respective roles as Tommy Pickles, Angelica Pickles, Susie Carmichael, Phil and Lil DeVille, and Chuckie Finster, as well as newcomers Ashley Rae Spillers (so great as the uber-shy secretary on Vice Principals), Omar Miller (Sol in 8 Mile and Charles Greane on Ballers), Timothy Simons (Jonah Ryan on Veep) and Tommy Dewey (best known as Alex on Casual), who do the talking for Didi Pickles, Randy Carmichael, Drew Pickles and Stu Pickles....

Jerrod Carmichael Monologue The veteran stand-up opened his monologue with a simple statement: “I’m not going to talk about it.” The ‘it’ he is referring to is, of course, Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. But while he would not directly address ‘it,’ Carmichael perfectly summed up the inevitable public discourse following The Slap. He noted that started out as the only thing anyone wanted to talk about but by the time everyone had spewed out their takes, we were all sick of having to hear about and Carmichael swore that he would never talk about it again… until Lorne Michaels told him he needed to talk about it because “the nation needs to heal....

In her Instagram post, Ariel Winter expressed her sorrow that Sofia the First had ended. “For the past 7 or so years, I have been so lucky to play Princess Sofia, as well as work with the amazing team that made this project as special as it is,” Winter wrote. “Sofia is an incredibly strong, intelligent, kind and spunky young girl who is never afraid to take on any and all challenges that are thrown at her....

Prior to writing The Great Man Theory, Wayne might be best known for his 2013 novel The Love Song of Jonny Valentine, a laugh-out-loud book about a tween pop star in the vein of Justin Bieber. Since then, Wayne’s books have tackled all sorts of underexamined aspects of masculinity, from Loner (2016) to Apartment (2020.) In all of his books, Wayne — a father of two in real life — tries to, in his words, twist the narrative “by smuggling in an indictment of myself — or the exaggerated, distorted, worst qualities of myself....

We all know that Cumberbatch has no problem playing an asshole, as he became a star due to his work in BBC’s Sherlock, where portrayed the titular detective as an angry, complicated anti-hero who doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else’s feelings. He also infused a healthy dose of malice into his performance of Smaug, the gold-obsessed dragon, in the last two films of the Hobbit trilogy. So on paper, Cumberbatch is the perfect choice for the role but sadly, he doesn’t seem to be embracing his dark side of the Grinch, which is a bit strange, considering the Grinch is a character who hates Christmas so much he decides to steal it....

“Down the line, what kind of decision is made, I can’t really speak to, but for the foreseeable future, there’s so much upside and benefit to having a great, Emmy Award-winning, smart, provocative, quality show,” Walden told the Hollywood Reporter. There was a lot of fear about the future of The Simpsons in a world where Disney will now own 21st Century Fox. Disney’s films might go a little dark sometimes, but nothing they do is crass so it was hard not to fear that they’d give the show the ax in a massive effort to rebrand....

Spoilers ahead for Venom. You have been warned. After the credits begin to roll and Eminem’s angry rap “Venom” rings through your ears, there is a first post-credits scene that comes a few minutes into the credits. This brief clip previews the inevitable Venom sequel and who will be featured in it. A sequel hasn’t been confirmed yet and the reviews have been all over the place, but it’s unlikely that Sony will turn down the opportunity for a sequel....

Recently a rumor exploded online that Marvel boss Kevin Feige said that the total running time of WandaVision was six hours. This was debunked by Inverse because it turns out Kevin Feige never said that. However, WandaVision director Matt Shakman did tell Collider that the entire running time of the series will be six hours. So, why does that mean the final three episodes will be an hour each? Well, because the average runtime of each WandaVision episode so far has been 30 minutes, and we’ve had six episodes, that means the show’s total runtime has only been three hours....

The Morgan Neville documentary, which focused on the career and legacy of Mr. Rogers, was every bit as loved as America’s favorite cardigan-clad TV host, earning a 98 percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes (213 out of 217 reviewers gave it a positive review) and an 85 percent approval rating on Metacritic. The movie was hailed by critics, with A.O. Scott of The New York Times calling it a “moving and illuminating new documentary” and Common Sense Media’s Sandie Angulo Chen wrote it was “a touching, triumphant tribute to Fred Rogers....

The Total Body Training Circuit “This high-intensity interval training (HIIT) circuit is designed to elevate your heart rate, boosting your metabolism and maximizing your calorie burn for the day,” says Herman. It consists of 3 rounds of 5 exercises. Perform as many reps as possible of one exercise for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds and then move onto the next. Why It’s Effective: The burpees hit a little bit of everything — shoulders, chest, arms, legs, and glutes....
