If you've put on a pound or two (or ten) over the pandemic, you're not alone. Will Smith has been gettin' jiggly with it just like the rest of us and we couldn't relate more to his recent Instagram posts in which he flaunts a glorious pandemic gut. One of the posts has a caption that reads, 'I'm gonna be real wit yall - I'm in the worst shape of my life.' A handful of fellow celebs related to the post in the comments and offered both support and playful teasing. It's pretty refreshing to see a Hollywood actor being unabashedly human on Instagram. Way to be body positive, Will!

It's pretty easy to laugh at furries. The subculture's pervy fanaticism towards anthropomorphic animals can be a lot to take in. Recent movies such as Zootopia only seem to fan the flames of furry desire. Today, thanks to news of Space Jam: A New Legacy's redesign of the sultry Lola Rabbit, we're reminded that these creepy (and horny) tendencies were prevalent as early as 1996.

For those of you who were unaware, Lola Bunny, Bugs Bunny's love interest, is as curvy as she is good at basketball. The artists bestowed her with a pretty serious rack and child-birthing hips. These qualities alarmed the reboot's Director, Malcolm D. Lee, who told Entertainment Weekly that he wanted to wanted to update the look for a more modern and less sexualized appearance. "This is 2021," he said. "It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters." 

While we can definitely see where he's coming from (we should not be feeling jealous of a rabbit's assets), the response on Twitter has been mostly negative. And revealing. Seems like there are a whole lot of horny and nostalgic people who really, really hate Lola's less-sexy look and apparent breast reduction. While we're feeling kind of creeped out by how passionate the people are, it's definitely a cause that is both cringey and hilarious. We've put together some of the best responses in this gallery, but we're pretty certain this will be talked about for a while. Frankly, we're surprised that some incel hasn't made a Change.org petition demanding a return to tradition.

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.

Take a look at some of these hilariously bad (but not wrong) plot summaries, and if you want more funny movie-related content, try this!

Looks like 2021 has claimed its first victims. You know, besides the thousands of people who have died of Covid-19. Page Six dropped a bomb on pop culture fanatics yesterday. The bomb? That Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced. The exclusive report claims that multiple sources have come forward to share that "divorce is imminent" for the couple. This isn't the first time a tabloid has teased their journey to Splitsville, but Page Six cites Kanye's absence from the Kardashian family holiday celebrations and Kim's equally absent wedding ring as proof that they are calling it quits. 

The high profile couple has yet to speak on the matter, but people on Twitter are making up for their silence with some seriously funny and scathing reactions. While some people are giddy about the news (people who love drama, Kanye fans who crave new music), other Twitter users are using this moment to call out Kim and Kanye for their narcissism, money-hungry families, and some of the more ridiculous stunts of their relationship. And then there are the people who claim they don't care - but for some reason feel the need to tell the world about it. 

Deadline announced earlier today that Wonder Woman's Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot would be teaming up again to bring a new epic about Cleopatra to life. While the news has been better-received than Gadot's "Imagine" debacle from the early days of quarantine, not everyone's happy about the choice. Gadot's an Israeli with very European heritage, and it seems that many Twitter users feel that casting does a Scarlett Johansson to an Egyptian queen. As some people are crying whitewashing, many have pointed out that by most credible accounts, the fierce ruler was actually of Greek heritage - though her mother's roots have been heavily debated. As with most Hollywood casting controversies, it seems that everyone has a very important opinion on the matter. You can enjoy (or scoff) at some of them below.

Can you even imagine how long you'd have to sit in the makeup chair for this sh*t? Probably hours. The people who created these masterpieces deserve some sort of award for their artistry. 

PS. who knew Ralph Fiennes was such a hottie back before his Lord Voldemort days? We certainly didn't.

The internet is really digging the wholesome dudes of Hollywood right now and we're here for it! Of course, Keanu Reeves has been making waves as our absolute fav, but let's give our man Tom Hanks a little credit for his heartwarming demeanor!
