Larry David Marries Girlfriend Ashley Underwood
It’s a pretty pretty pretty good time to be Larry David. The Curb Your Enthusiasm creator got married to his girlfriend, Ashley Underwood, this past week. According to People, David and Underwood tied the knot on Wednesday in Southern California. While the timing may seem strange, one Instagram commenter has the most logical answer: “Larry was like, ‘pandemic? Let’s get married! No guests!” The couple began dating in 2017 after meeting at a birthday party for Sacha Baron Cohen. Underwood was a producer on Cohen’s Showtime series, Who is America?. “We were seated next to each other,” David recounted to the New York Times of their first-time meeting. “Much to her surprise I left before dessert. I was doing so well, banter-wise, I didn’t want to risk staying too long and blowing the good impr...
Jeff Goldblum Recreates Iconic Jurassic Park Pose 27 Years Later
Jurassic World: Dominion may have been pushed back to 2022, but Jeff Goldblum has given thirsty fans quite the gift to tide them over until then. On Instagram late Friday, the actor recreated his iconic Jurassic Park pose, unbuttoned shirt, oiled up chest, and all. Goldblum reproduced the memorable 1993 shot as a reward to fans who registered to vote ahead of Election Day next month. “WOW! Thank you to everyone who used my @HeadCount page to make sure that you’re #GoodToVote!” Goldblum wrote on Instagram. “Nearly 3,000 of you are ready for this November’s election. Here’s your reward… how time flies.” Indeed, it’s been 27 long years since Dr. Ian Malcolm first posed ever so seductively. The fact that Goldblum, who turns 68 in just a few weeks, still looks this good should probably be a cri...
Trump to Receive Sham Medical Examine Live on Fox News
Exactly one week ago today, Donald Trump was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19. After being shot up with steroids and other experimental drugs, Trump claims to have made a complete and full recovery, and is ready to return to the campaign trail as soon as this weekend. Most health experts are rightfully skeptical. As Kavita K. Patel, an internal medicine physical at Mary’s Center in Washington, DC, wrote in the Washington Post, the “typical length of stays for COVID-19 patients who are treated the way Trump was can approach weeks.” At various points over the course of his hospitalization, Trump was given supplemental oxygen, heavy steroids, and a cocktail of experimental drugs that is not available to anyone outside of clinical trials. The more practical scenario is that Tru...
Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Tiffany Haddish, More Celebrities Get Naked in Voting PSA: Watch
Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Mark Ruffalo, and more celebrities have literally stripped down to be “completely butt-ass naked,” to quote Tiffany Haddish, for a new PSA video about voting. In the clip, titled “These Naked Celebs Have an Important Message for Voters”, a dozen famous actors, comedians, and models come together to inform viewers about “naked ballots,” a technical term for improperly filled-out ballots that require multiple envelopes. Some key states in the upcoming presidential election, such as Pennsylvania, have introduced a new rule where absentee and mail-in ballot voters must use both envelopes included with their ballot when submitting their vote. If they don’t, their votes will be automatically void. To help explain the importance of voting correctly to a...
Facebook Pulls Donald Trump’s Post Falsely Claiming the Flu is More Lethal Than COVID-19
Donald Trump knows firsthand what it’s like to have COVID-19, and he also knows what it’s like to have the best medical treatment immediately available. Yet, less than a day after being released from the Walter Reed Medical Center, Trump posted messages to social media downplaying the severity of coronavirus. Facebook responded by taking down the post, while Twitter flagged it with a warning label, reports Mashable. Trump’s post to social media on Tuesday morning seemed completely unbothered by the ongoing pandemic. “Flu season is coming up!” it read. “Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations fa...

Silence of the Lambs house (photo via KDKA/CBS) and Buffalo Bill (photo via Orion Pictures) Still looking for the ideal haunted house? Just in time for Halloween, Buffalo Bill’s iconic Silence of the Lambs home is officially up for sale for a creepy cool $298,500. The psychotic serial killer’s house sits on 1.7 acres of land in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, about an hour south of Pittsburgh. According to the NY Post, the residence has been used as a fully functional dwelling, but still retains many of the same distinct features seen in the classic 1991 film starring Jodie Foster (Clarice Starling), Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lecter), and Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill). Hardwood floors remain in the foyer, while the dining room — where Clarice confronted Buffalo Bill — is still quite recognizable. A...
The Jerky Boys Share Prank Call from First New Album in Over 20 Years: Stream

Aaron Carter Is Now Doing Porn
With live music shut down for the foreseeable future, artists are looking for new ways to make money. Some are selling face masks, others are live-streaming concerts. Aaron Carter is doing porn. The former child pop star has been a regular presence on the adult film site CamSoda since joining earlier this month. In fact, according to a press release (yes, there’s a press release about this!), Carter’s first-ever live show became the most popular private event in CamSoda’s six-year history. Viewers of Carter’s shows have been treated to a multi-faceted experience involving music (Carter sings and plays guitar in the nude), dancing, and fan Q&As, along with other sultry activities that you’d expect from a cam show. In addition to CamSoda, Carter has created his own OnlyFans account, for ...
Cardi B is Being Sued for Calling MAGA Supporters “Racist”
Last week, Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband Offset. Now, the rap superstar has a different type of legal issue on her hands: she’s facing a lawsuit for defamation. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Cardi, her sister Hennessy Carolina, and Carolina’s girlfriend, Michelle Diaz, are being sued for labeling a group of MAGA supporters as “racist”. It all started over Labor Day weekend, when Cardi and her crew were celebrating on Long Island’s Smith Point Beach. They’d set up not far from the lawsuit’s three plaintiffs, one of whom was proudly wearing a MAGA hat that afternoon. According to the plaintiffs’ lawyer (via NBC New York), Carolina approached them and began “raging, spitting, insulting, assaulting, defaming and threatening them, all the while videotaping them...
