Chris Hemsworth Skipped Eating Meat So He Could Give Natalie Portman a Vegan Kiss
Chris Hemsworth is as close to a carnivore as a healthy man can get, but when it came time to shoot a kiss with Natalie Portman, his vegan co-star of Thor: Love and Thunder, the old god paid respects to the new. “The day we had a kiss scene he didn’t eat meat that morning, because I’m vegan,” Portman told Capitol FM. “And he eats meat like every half hour.

Armie Hammer Really Is Selling Timeshares at a Cayman Islands Hotel
If you’re extremely online, you may have recently seen photos circulating on Twitter of Armie Hammer appearing to work at a hotel resort in the Cayman Islands. Now, Variety has confirmed that the photos are real, and that the disgraced actor is, in fact, selling timeshares in the Caribbean.

Alanis Morissette (Finally) Celebrates 25 Years of Jagged Little Pill in Montreal: Review, Video, and Setlist
Like so many other highly anticipated world tours, Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette had to wait an extra two years to finally mark 25 Years of Jagged Little Pill — or if we’re being pedantic, 27 years. After kicking things off in Europe, the Ottawa native began the North American leg of the tour in her hometown on July 10th before performing at Montreal’s Bell Centre two days later. (Get tickets to the rest of her upcoming dates here!) Although the night started with harmonica blazing to album opener “All I Really Want,” the rest of the evening in Montreal didn’t flow exactly as the Jagged Little Pill recording. The 48-year-old, with the same athletic stage-hopping zeal from her youth, played the entire album mostly out of order, with a few other hits such as “Uninvited” and “T...

Mario Addresses Adding Tory Lanez To New Single Amid Femme It Forward Partnership
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gary Gershoff / Getty Mario built up goodwill after his Verzuz win against Omarion last month. But, that all seemed to come to an end on Monday (July 11) when the “Let Me Love You” singer announced that his new single, “Main One,” would feature Tory Lanez.

Footage From Uvalde Shooting Tragedy Displays Incompetence Of Police On Scene
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Brandon Bell / Getty The Uvalde tragedy is still one of the most shocking school shooting events in recent history, and new details are coming forth from that horrible day. Footage shows local police officers toiling about on their phones instead of doing their jobs and protecting the innocent lives inside. As we understand the sensitive nature of the Uvalde shooting, we won’t show the footage of the police officers casually checking their phones as children were screaming in horror, according to reports saying that the audio of the footage was scrubbed. But what is especially angering is that several accounts from the ground stated that parents practically begged the officers to move into action, with some parents taking on the role of protectors t...
