As shallow tabloids go, the Daily Mail is one of the worst offenders out there. The publication is famous for "reporting" on female celebrities faces and figures as they go about their days. Some of their choice headlines today include "Christine McGuinness flaunts her tanned and toned figure in an underboob baring thong bikini as she hits the beach in Mallorca" and "Ashley Graham puts growing baby bump on display in black leggings to workout... as she praises her fans for sharing their stretch mark photos". Twitter account @MaleDaily1 (The Daily Male) is here to flip these sketchy reporting practices and apply them to all your favorite male celebrities. Reading about Danny Devito "pouring" into a black outfit and Piers' Morgan "hiding his famous hourglass physique" really shows you just how awful the Daily Mail is about featuring women. We're not sure if this account will flip the script on their reporting, but we hope that it'll make the general public a bit more aware regarding these gender discrepancies. In the meantime, the photoshops are wildly funny, and we can't wait for more.
One of the latest meme trends to pop up on Reddit has taken the form of a "time traveler conversation," in which a shadowy figure comes from the future and drops some serious future wisdom on an unsuspecting character - generally to very positive reception. The meme has been meshing well with Area 51 memes, as well as old classics like Shrek and Keanu Reeves. Here are some of our favorite examples of the perception-bending formats.
Billy Joel meets the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Sign us up. As Friday's release of Avengers: Endgame creeps closer, this video of the surviving characters singing their own wordy version of "We Didn't Start The Fire" is exactly what we need to tide us over. Bonus? A sweet visual shout out to the dearly departed Stan Lee at the end.
Beloved filmmaker Kevin Smith suffered a massive heart attack last night following a stand-up special, and took to Twitter to express his gratitude and relief. The news shocked celebrities and fans alike, most notably Chris Pratt. The sitcom-turned-action star sent Smith his prayers following the near-death experience - but didn't receive the response one would expect.
There's been a huge amount of backlash regarding our nation's use of "thoughts and prayers" in dire situations - especially ones that could have been avoided. Several Twitter users took this opportunity to liken Pratt's "prayers" with those uttered following tragedies such as school shootings. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn was having none of this - and quickly came to Pratt's defense with a smart and poignant Twitter thread.
Chris Pratt is a beautiful human being. Everything about him oozes positivity and pure, unadulterated, hilarious class. He's the kinda guy that was made to be a movie star.
But, maybe that's what you get when you're making 20 mil per film and you have personal assistants to take care of all the stupid crap the rest of us have to deal with on a daily basis. Like, maybe we could all be super positive and bubbly if we didn't have to wade through some of this mundane drudgery. We're stuck dealing with all this normal stuff, like this pile of dishes in my sink that won't go away no matter how much I try to pretend it isn't there. Along with things like having to wash my own laundry and make my own food. It's a hard life.
On a totally unrelated note, Anna Faris should give up acting and take up gambling or stock brokering because damn she knows how to make a solid investment.
Anyways, yeah. Chris Pratt is great and he's taken to Instagram again to brighten all of our normal ordinary lives and drop some inspiration on us.
