Peter Dante Has Meltdown After Restaurant Refuses Him Entry for Failing to Wear Mask
Peter Dante, the veteran actor known for his roles in films like The Waterboy, was captured on camera berating a hostess after being denied entry into a Los Angeles restaurant for refusing to wear a face mask. The incident occurred at Quarters Korean BBQ in L.A.’s Koreatown on Monday. As shown in footage obtained by TMZ, Dante responded to the hostess by making several derogatory slurs, including “garbage” and “c*nt.” At one point, Dante also told the woman, who appeared to be of Asian descent, to “go back to where you…” before seemingly catching himself and telling the woman to instead, “go back to school.” After a manager told Dante she would not speak to him without a face covering, Dante told her “no” and walked away from the restaurant.

Former Olympic Speed Skater Allegedly Stole $10 Million and Financed Elijah Wood Movie
A one-time Winter Olympic speed skater found herself in hot water today when she was charged with defrauding the federal government of $10 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, part of which she allegedly used to help fund an Elijah Wood movie. In court papers filed in Utah, prosecutors allege that Allison Baver — who represented the United States in the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Olympics as a member of the women’s speed skating team — filed multiple loan applications claiming her production company, Allison Baver Productions, had as many as 430 employees and a monthly payroll of $4 million. According to the indictment, the Taylorsville, Utah native’s eponymous company was all smoke and mirrors, with no employees at all. And yet, Baver’s applications were approved to the tune of a...
Kanye West’s Free Larry Hoover Merch Sales Are Not Going to Charity
Kanye West performed his first show in five years at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Thursday night, teaming up with longtime frenemy Drake to host the Free Larry Hoover concert, an event meant to raise awareness and funds for the clemency of Gangster Disciples co-founder Larry Hoover. But while ticket sales to the concert were said to benefit a number of criminal justice organizations, including Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change, Hustle 2.0, and Uptown People’s Law Center, profits from the expensive merch West dropped to commemorate the event will not be donated, a rep confirmed to GQ. Available on the Amazon Fashion store only through this weekend, West teamed with Balenciaga creative director Demna to create a pullover hoodie ($200), a tee shirt ($100), a baseball tee ($160), a ...
Congressman Who Unsuccessfully Sued a Parody Twitter Account Named CEO of Trump’s New Social Media Platform
Devin Nunes, the California congressman who unsuccessfully sued Twitter over a fake cow parody account, has himself a new job: CEO of Donald Trump’s startup media and tech company. Nunes undoubtedly landed the job due to his blind allegiance to the disgraced former president, and not because of his credentials. Prior to joining the US House of Representatives, Nunes was a dairy farmer. Once inside the hallowed halls of Congress, he made a name for himself by whipping up conspiracy theories on behalf of Trump. To be clear, Nunes has no background in tech, aside from suing Twitter over a fake parody account called @DevinNunesCow, which routinely mocked him while in Congress. A judge ultimately ruled against Nunes — because, you know, free speech – which makes his selection as CEO of Trump Me...
Machine Gun Kelly Tried Catching a Knife to Impress Megan Fox, Stabbed Himself
Shortly after Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox began dating, he threw a knife into the air to impress her. As he told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, he ended up stabbing himself in the hand and required stitches. Machine Gun Kelly, who has begun using his birth name Colson Baker again, explained it all went down “right when I was starting to date Megan.” He said, “Travis [Barker] got me a knife that had an engraving from the new album on it. I was like, ‘Yo, check this out, this is sick.’ “I threw it up and it stuck in my hand. You know how you throw it up, and you’re supposed to catch it? I looked at her and I was like, ‘check this out.’” Baker tried to play it off that night. However, “The next morning, as soon as she left, I was like, ‘yo, I need stitches...
Jared Leto’s House of Gucci Method Acting Involved “Snorting Lines of Arrabbiata Sauce”
Jared Leto is a proud method actor who often goes to bizarre and uncomfortable lengths to portray a particular role. In preparing for Requiem for a Dream, Leto lived on the streets with a group of heroin addicts and went as far as to shoot up water. He gained nearly 70 pounds in order to play Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27, and after being cast as the Joker in Suicide Squad he tormented his fellow cast members by mailing them live rats and bullets. For his latest role, Leto portrays fashion designer and business magnate Paolo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci. In an interview with i-D, Leto detailed how he got into character, which involved “snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce.” “I did it all. I was snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce by the middle of this movie. I had olive oil for b...

Will Smith Developed “Psychosomatic Reaction” to Too Much Sex, Would “Vomit” After Orgasm
Come again? Sounding simultaneously like a man who has had too much and too little therapy, Will Smith said that as a young star, he engaged in so much sex that he “developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm,” that would “make me gag and sometimes even vomit.” The revelation comes from his new memoir Will, which hit store shelves earlier this month. Via BuzzFeed News, he began his downward spiral after coming home from a two-week tour to find that his girlfriend, Melanie, had cheated. “I desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse,” he wrote.

Kid Rock Self-Flagellates to Conservative Tropes on His New Song “Don’t Tell Me How to Live”
Credit where credit is due: Kid Rock packaged all of the tired conservative tropes into a single piece of recorded audio that masquerades as a new song called “Don’t Tell Me How to Live.” “My way or the highway, listen up/ Ain’t nothing changed here, I still don’t give a fuck,” Kid Rick whines in the opening verse. “So what the fuck’s up with all the backlash/ You snowflakes, here’s a newsflash. Ain’t nobody gonna tell me how to live.” He goes on the lament that, “A nation of pussies is our next generation/ And these minions and their agendas/ Every opinion has a millennial offended.” Advertisement Related Video “But this amendment one, it rings true,” he adds, before warning: “And if it don’t descend bitch, then see number two.” Calling progressives snowflakes?

Wyclef Jean Dropped Range Rover’s CEO on His Head During Corporate Party
In a scene straight out of Succession, Wyclef Jean was hired to play a corporate gig for Range Rover, only to then nearly paralyze the company’s CEO by dropping him on his head. TMZ has video of the incident (see below), which occurred at the Range Rover Leadership Summit on Monday night. At some point during the evening, Wyclef decided to hoist the company’s CEO and President, Joe Eberhardt, onto his shoulders. With The Outfield’s “I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love Tonight” playing in the background, the two basked in the surreal moment — until it all came tumbling down. Wyclef eventually lost his balance and proceeded to drop the elder Eberhardt right on his head. Fortunately, Eberhardt escaped seriously injury, but he certainly appears dazed in the video, and ended up leaving the party early...
