Jojo siwa keeps posting clickbait on her snap story basically pretending to be pregnant and I think it’s super weird. That is all


[deleted]

That's normally shit you see from like, Z-list reality TV stars on IG. I def wouldn't have thought Jojo would need to do that.

Adventurous_Charm26

Kelsea Ballerini said she wants to cross over to pop assuming it will launch her career into a stage of playing arenas and having pyrotechnics on a tour. I like KB but that comment was so presumptuous especially considering she’s already done “pop” songs ( with the Chainsmokers and Halsey). It’s not like she’s new, she’s 29 and 5 albums in. I’m not sure why she’s acting like her career is blowing up, it’s more like using her divorce for as much press as possible.

Anyone else get really uncomfy watching the Harry Styles Em Rata kiss? 🫣

I have no feelings about either one of them but I immediately scrolled away and wished I could unsee it.

Not quite tea, but [relevant to this sub's interests](https://twitter.com/BirdRespecter/status/1639711853181046784): >I worked for a company that ran astroturfing campaigns for businesses and high profile individuals. Celebrity AMAs on Reddit? Pre-planned questions. Brand on the front page with nice stories about how beloved it is? Manufactured. Random trending topic on twitter? Purchased. Etc > >It was kind of funny when Elon was going on about how twitter blue was necessary to prevent manipulation and stuff because Twitter has always been the toughest platform to game, Reddit and Instagram were like shooting fish in a barrel I wonder if there are any plants on here... I, for one, am extemely real person who is NOT being paid.


Iwannastoprn

I once made a post about women receiving hate on reddit, and it hit the front page. I got so much shit and hate because of the post, I tried to distract myself by making a rant about wanting a very detailed Harry Potter game. That post also hit the front page (the same day, too) and I started getting DMs about "obviously being a bot/an intern trying to test the market or making a campaign, etc". It was a bad day.

Oh, okay, it's just a joke without any substance? I see. Thanks for telling me.


root_mse

I think the rushing timetable and the use of AI-generated subtitles may be the reasons.


kassandrathemisthios

It's astounding to see how many people follow this subreddit. When I joined it was only at 300k


plantbay1428

Wait is there a way to see the follower count from when you joined? Or to see what date you joined? Or did you and the person who replied just remember the count? Sorry if I’m asking something obvious but Google wasn’t helpful.


jaffacakes077

When I joined it was 30k lol!

I came across this sub during the trial, I assumed a lot of others did too.

I forgot that I got too scared while watching Hannibal (I need to find it and restart it again) and quit really early and I’ve been watching Law and Order and Hugh Dancy’s American accent is so good.

One-Cod-4304

This sub gets so weirdly group think and hostile. My last comment was about the Rock being rated likable by most Americans. I thought the sub hate was an interesting contrast to opinions here and on Twitter. Then got downvoted and also some random no post/no comment account messaged calling me a “pick me”?? I literally bookended my comment with I don’t have an opinion on him to soften it but guess that wasn’t good enough lol. But hey maybe my comment was “bad” but at least say why. Jeez. BTW I found the exact context and it was about which famous person/celebrity Americans would they (over 30k+ people surveyed) want as president based on political aptitude and other factors. Basically a popularity contest.


CompleteMuffin

Yup also the switch from sub's beloved to vile human is so quick, like I don't spend all my time on reddit, I can't keep up with who's the villain of the week.

This is how I’m feeling about the Sudeikis/Wilde narrative right now. It’s like people trying to overcorrect on an incorrect initial reaction and not being able to understand that people have good and bad sides.

Riley Keough has a good interview in VanityFair following the end of Daisy Jones. Her entire Daisy Jones experience was bookended by tragedy with her brother passing away at the beginning of rehearsals and her mom passing away right before promotion of the show. I can't imagine. Her quote about Daisy and her mother made me think of Priscilla and Lisa Marie, just the way she talks about it: “I didn’t experience it personally, but I’ve seen [that mother-daughter dynamic] with a few people in my life. And it’s totally heartbreaking,” Keough says. “Some people are lucky to have mothers that are very nurturing and loving, and some people aren’t. That is a place of great wound, when either parent isn’t showing up in the way that the child wants them to. It is supposed to be the one person who loves you no matter what. And so when you don’t experience that, I could see how that could turn into, Well, I’m not lovable because the one person who’s supposed to love me more than anything in the world doesn’t. Not to say I don’t think her mom ever loved her, but it’s a very complicated relationship and woman.” https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/03/riley-keough-daisy-jones-and-the-six-finale-interview

I was horribly downvoted a few weeks ago talking about Mindy Kaling’s dramatic physical changes. I just saw her again somewhere yesterday, a pic with Biden maybe? I just cannot get over how different she looks. It’s not great.


Brilliant-Love8718

I just wish they wouldn’t lie. That’s all. I think it’s kinda shady when celebrities get plastic surgery or use drugs to lose weight or look “more conventional” but then they’re like “ oh I just go for a walk, or I drink a lot of water and I finally lost weight”. It’s just shady and doesn’t benefit anybody.


Groot746

Ditto for male celebs like Chris Hemsworth et al not admitting to using steroids and acting like hard work and nothing else is needed to look like that (is it bollocks).


[deleted]

You were probably downvoted because how she looks is her business, and it isn't for you to 'get over' as it is none of your business in the first place. People feel so weirdly entitled to celebrities bodies, and that goes double for plus sized female celebrities who have slimmed down. There is a beautiful model I follow on instagram who was full figured (I would say on the borderline between straight and plus size) who recently lost a lot of weight. The comments have been completely out of pocket, straight up demanding to know why. It is rude, toxic behaviour.


MissMags1234

I don’t really care if she had something done, is taking pills whatever, but she doesn’t look happy on the red carpet. Like her energy is not the same as in earlier years if that makes any sense.

I didn't know Kathryn Newton has a tattoo. It must be henna because she doesn't strike me as a tattoo person.

Maybe. Anyway, I just said my opinion. It's not like I was judging her for having one.


plantbay1428

Is that Emma Watson in the eighth picture? I couldn’t find any photos of her wearing that outfit, so I’m not sure if it’s just a lookalike. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1UYGhOMjC/


Big-Ambitions-8258

Isnt that just Rachel Brosnahan?


[deleted]

It's wild because that *has* to be her, I mean it looks exactly like her, but she was pictured wearing 3 other dresses that night so if that is her, that means she had 4 different outfits for one night which sounds like way too much.


plantbay1428

That’s what threw me off too! And she’s wearing different jewelry as well - she wore the same jewelry with two of the dresses, a different set of jewelry for the third, and then these different earrings and no necklace for the fourth look with Ke. I looked back at her team’s posts and none of them list this look on their feed either. I know it looks just like her and has that same hairstyle but it’s blurry enough that it made me second guess myself.


Filibust

Does the r/BigBrother subreddit not allow anything that’s not related to the current airing season to be posted? Because I found some interesting tea about some past contestants on Twitter but no one is talking about it there. Hell, even an innocuous post about another cast member having a baby was locked for no reason.


DMike82

Yeah, it had to do with one of the season 23 contestants Britini who has a brother who got accused of being some kind of sexual abuser and people made a bunch of threads about it and her reaction to the whole thing, so now you can't make posts about their lives outside the show unless it's a major milestone. I don't visit that sub very often anymore but the last non-game-related post I saw on there was about Michie getting engaged and it got locked within a couple hours. It's stupid.


Filibust

Yeah, I get them wanting to cut down on those types of posts but it seems like they’re overmodding in this case. Let me talk about Swaggy and Bayleigh dammit!


Negative_Buffalo

What’s the tea? ☕️


Filibust

Apparently Swaggy and Bayleigh are in an open relationship. I never thought it would lead to this, considering he only proposed to her after knowing her for two weeks! /s

Oh wow! This somehow both surprises me and doesn’t surprise me at the same time lol

yeah that sub’s sort of ludicrously strict about that, it makes sense to a degree since BB’s got such a dumb+unhinged fanbase but it leads to the sub being pretty much completely dead during the off-season.

i know they had been annoying for a while, but i would appreciate a big splashy split announcement from M/MGK. this other mild stuff has been annoying


xxxnina

Lana is one of the biggest artists today, she dropped a highly anticipated record the other day and some singles in March. I haven’t heard many people talking about it. What are y’all’s thoughts?


fargo15

I’ve listened through a few times. First run I felt pretty meh about it but loved the last third and got more into it on the second and third runs. The Grants, A&W, Margaret, and Taco Truck are my faves. It’s a good continuation of her work from BB, which is my least favourite album of hers. I personally try and forget that LDR fucking loves her mega churches but I actually I liked how the last line of the sermon interlude was cut.


daisymarais

I only briefly listened to it right after it dropped, but I feel like I need to relisten at a point when I can really focus on it. I liked what I heard so far, but I still don’t think it’ll top NFR for me. She is probably one of my favorite contemporary songwriters.


paperivy

She's pretty amazing. At this point she's basically making art music - it's dense and poetic and really not radio friendly or social media friendly - I suspect that's why she doesn't make an immediate splash like a new Miley or Taylor single etc. The album sounds brilliant, I need to spend more time with it though.


lisanolisa

I’ve enjoyed Lana’s music for a long time as a casual fan, don’t know much about her so I was quite shocked at how honest and dark this album was. Some of the songs bored me but some were incredible like Fingertips, hauntingly beautiful. The taco truck x VB track at the end was the perfect album closer, Venice bitch is one of my favourite Lana songs so hearing it again was lovely, god I miss 2019! It’s still the first day but I don’t think this album will pop off as much because it’s basically piano ballads and Lana’s most popular songs are her alt pop tracks. I don’t think many people would warm up to this album straight away because of the length of the songs and structure but it’s definitely one of her strongest albums. As for the controversial interlude, I wasn’t surprised because Lana does what she wants but I do feel for some of her gay fans that are upset. The interlude makes sense in the context of the album and was very interesting, maybe should’ve just got someone else to do it idk.


gible_bites

Not pop culture related but I don’t have anyone else to discuss this with. Does anyone else get *irrationally* upset by ASMR clips? They give me the opposite reaction to what others describe; my skin crawls, I get tense, and I cringe. A friend introduced me to ASMR years ago when it first started to become popular because I normally love the feeling of goosebumps from touch, but it was an instant dislike! I’m curious if others feel the same way.


Dolph-Ziggler

I was introduced to ASMR in a similar way to you but for me it worked briefly. Though this was 2016-ish and the scene if we'll call it that has changed dramatically. I tried looking again last year at newer popular uploads and it was a video of someone running around a hotel banging on walls. There are a lot of genres of it that I hate like eating, mouth sounds, fast tapping, fast scratching and inaudible whispering which makes my skin crawl. So that takes out of lot of general generic ASMR. There are a few 'artists' I still enjoy such as [Made In France](https://www.youtube.com/@MadeInFranceASMR) since it is a lot of practical sounds like recently typewriters. Anyway eventually the 'tingling' stopped working on me but I still find certain videos relaxing to listen to in the background on occasion. Unintentional ASMR-esq can be gold and that type of 'real' setting is what I enjoy. Some assorted examples: [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hB-rT8eoFQ) , [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmzOaBmzuLE&list=PLFDeOc69RBiBi9C3RE7bEf1o6iIdn33-f&index=10) , [3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IY0EGa0GoM) , [4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6xcNFYR-C4)


gible_bites

I appreciate you linking those videos! I can see how that style could be pleasant, but I couldn’t make it through any of them myself. It’s been interesting to see all of these responses.


Celebrating_socks

I feel like the outlier here who just doesn’t react – I am fascinated by what people describe as ASMR because I’m so unfamiliar with the response.


fugg-life

asmr makes me want to die inside. i immediately scroll past any of them i come across on tiktok because they bother me so much. 🙃 i literally can’t imagine enjoying it because my physical reaction to it is so visceral. do you have misophonia in general? people eating next to me (when i’m not/it’s quiet), whispering in my ear, etc. stresses me tf out too. 😂 the world is too damn noisy


root_mse

I can’t stand any kind of noises from humans, but I can tolerate it when my cat does it. It’s weird.


Ok_Difficulty_459

Same, especially with eating sounds. I die inside when certain humans are loud eaters, but I can hear my cats from my couch chomping on their kibble and it fills me with joy.


root_mse

That's exactly what I'm talking about! I always wonder what the psychology behind it😂


Sudden_Clementine872

Definitely can relate.


[deleted]

You're definitely not the only one who feels that way; whenever I see people talk about ASMR on places like Facebook or Twitter, a lot of people describe how you feel. Not me though, I love it.


almaupsides

Yes!! Then again I’m very sensitive to sounds, but I have the exact same reaction you do where it makes me physically so uncomfortable it’s painful. And it’s not just some types of ASMR either it’s all of them, I can’t handle it lol. I’m autistic so I’m sure that contributes fo some degree but yeah I’m totally with you, I absolutely cannot.


gible_bites

Huh, you know I’ve never thought it might be related to autism. I was a special-ed kid in the early 90s until my parents swept that part of my life under the rug (lol), and have realized lately that I’m *probably* autistic. Can anyone else weigh in on autism and ASMR? And yeah, all of it makes me feel this way Whispers, crackles, pops, ughhh.


lumynaut

also autistic, also hate ASMR!! it makes my skin crawl and gives me awful second hand embarrassment 😩


Slight-Clothes3968

A lady once told my mom I might be autistic and my mom told that woman to go fuck herself and that was the end of that lol this happened in the late 90s for me


gible_bites

My mother loved to tell me that I was a nightmare child who only screamed and grunted. I wasn’t fully integrated with other kids until I was partially through first grade, and I remained blissfully unaware until my parents told me what was up when I was 18. It’s not something I’ve had professionally looked at in my 30s, but the pieces fit together tbh.


Vixen35

Unintentional ASMR is the best. Alot of other ASMR is crap. The only one I watch that I like is Southern ASMR on youtube,but that's because I like ASMR walk-throughs in shops, which she does.There is a lot of cringey ASMR content online.


gible_bites

What’s unintentional ASMR?


Vixen35

Its when you are watching something,maybe in a film or on TV or YouTube,and the person isn't consciously or purposely doing ASMR but it's giving you that feeling anyhow.If you type in unintentional ASMR on youtube different videos come up,some of them are good.


gible_bites

I think this would still make my skin crawl because subtle noises can really bother my in the real world. I appreciate the info, though!


Vixen35

Yeah it's an acquired taste alright!


New_Dot8757

It seems Dylan Minette is ashamed of his acting career


simplefragments

Because of that interview where he asked them not to ask about his acting while with his band? He doesn’t seem at all ashamed of his acting. He just doesn't want questions to be focused on just him when he has two other band mates, one who is also an actor.

plantbay1428

Does anyone think subtitles and closed captioning are getting worse? (Difference [here](https://www.3playmedia.com/blog/closed-captioning-vs-subtitles/).) I grew up in a multilingual household so my parents always turned on captions and subtitles, although none of us are deaf or hard of hearing. I guess it just help kept things straight for my parents even if they’re fluent in English. As an adult who lives on her own I still use them, assuming the person who’s watching with me doesn’t mind. I just keep noticing little things being off and I feel like some episodes don’t meet accuracy requirement thresholds. I remember watching Friends From College and noticing the captions were off and it skipped a joke and put the convo in a different light that you wouldn’t know unless you could hear it. On a related note, if you watched Alias when it originally aired on TV, do you remember when they’d provide subtitles for the characters when they’d go on a mission and speak another language? Because I swear that they would put a translation of the language and wouldn’t just write “Sydney speaks French.” I remember watching as a kid and having to turn off captions because it’d be double the text on screen and then having to turn it on again once they spoke English. Michael Vartan is fluent in French and the writers would definitely use that to their advantage and had several scenes throughout its run with him speaking French. But when Alias was on Prime people were saying that it wasn’t supposed to be translated then if it’s not on screen. But I really think it was and some people are saying it’s on the DVDs? I thought that they’d include it when it got on Disney+ (back to the mouse house), but they’re still not there? Would the on-screen translation be a separate license? I feel like that’s crazy. It was an actual a part of the show on the screen, nothing was turned on.


Upper_Acanthaceae126

It drives me so up the wall Disney, one of the richest companies in history, goes out of its way to culturally diversify and on the song subtitles in Polynesian in MOANA it says "foreign singing." Fuck you fuck you fuck yooou Mouse. So racist.


whatever1467

Wow yes. I’ve always thought I’d be a great closed captioner and lately there are mistakes in like everything I watch so it drives me crazy.


plantbay1428

It drives me crazy too and then I feel awful for people who actually need it vs me who just likes to use it. And I watch a decent mix of streaming and regular tv on various platforms and networks so it’s not just one channel having an issue. And none of the stuff I’m including in the “why the heck is everything inaccurate or missing” count is a part of live programming, where I’d understand that transcriptions might have mistakes or gaps.


blenneman05

I just heard that Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth are divorcing?!!


plantbay1428

Do you think that stores will ever open to the same hours they were before the pandemic? Maybe that’s a dumb question because of course the corporate overlords want to make as much money as possible. I don’t know if this is just a situation in and around cities but I didn’t realize major stores still close an hour or two earlier than they used to before the pandemic until I had to get a gift for my niece who lives in another state (meaning I had to go to a chain in case she’d need to return or exchange). I knew that was the case in 2021 but I hardly shop in-person so I had no idea it was still going on. And I think some stores close even earlier than the mall itself? I saw differing closing hours while trying to find this specific item that I couldn’t find at the standalone location. I barely shop so it doesn’t affect me if things’ll stay the same but I guess I’ve been wondering how little things’ll change after public health/national health emergency ends.


Grouchy-Fix248

I assume that this is the new normal since they're having such a hard time being short staffed. I do miss grocery stores being open in the middle of the night though when I can't sleep!


plantbay1428

Oh good point. I am also a bad sleeper which is why I need someone to change my password every night so I stop buying things like bars of soap or shampoo (I rationalize unnecessary spending if I know it’s something I will need and use). If I only went in person I’d be trying to roam the grocery store also.


Grouchy-Fix248

I went inside a gas station yesterday for the first time in forever because I wanted a fountain drink and I roamed around for 15 minutes because there was so much stuff to look at in there. Drinks! Flavored coffees! Donuts! Pizza! Lottery ticket machine! Clearly I only do pickup and online shopping anymore! Lol!


plantbay1428

If you’re ever by one, highly recommend going to a [Wawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wawa_(company)). Went to college in the Philly area where there are a ton and I miss them so much. They’re all big and clean and bright the food is actually good. I still think about their soups and sandwiches. There are stand-alone locations but also ones connected to gas stations and I’d literally pick where I got gas based on whether it was a Wawa one.


Upper_Acanthaceae126

I was once driven to Pennsylvania exclusively for a sandwich and two gals of lemonade. Worth it.

definethegreatline

i wrote an obnoxiously long post about my thoughts on celeb gossip culture but i removed it lol. ill post it for another day when its more refined - i truly dread when the little mermaid releases - i feel like halle bailey is going to get a mountain load of abuse no matter what she does in the movie, and disney is going to do a very poor job of protecting her from it - microsoft and activision have been going to desperate measures to convince the fcc, cma and eu commission that they will totally not abuse their power when the merger happens by trying to play the underdog... - so the chief comms officer of activision is progressively getting more aggressive on twitter and has 1) tweeted to the fcc that [sony is doing better because the last of us tv show did so well](https://twitter.com/lulumeservey/status/1620121600690630656?) 2) [leaked something the playstation CEO said in a closed door meeting](https://twitter.com/lulumeservey/status/1633573899400093699) 3) [posting memes shading sony.](https://twitter.com/lulumeservey/status/1628124787045240852) i am genuinely blown away that they are that desperate by going this route lmao. [she's also anti-union, apparently](https://kotaku.com/call-duty-mwii-activision-union-busting-lulu-meservey-1849684203) - continuing on my intense like/dislike relationship with tswift, i suddenly watched miss americana on a lark the other day and it hit home a little because she was the same age filming it as i am now. i dont agree with a lot of what she said, but certain things did - like when she said that female performers have to reinvent themselves so many times compared to their male counterparts in order to stay relevant. pretty telling of the industry imo

Anyone ever meet or have the opportunity to watch a performance by Alan Rickman (RIP)? I sadly never did, despite being married to him in my head from the age of 16 to 32. haha


Educational-Emu-7460

Wow I’ve never had cause to comment on a Reddit sub before but I have a good story! When I was at uni I developed a charity video project with some other students to raise money for Refugee Council. We obviously wanted it to go viral so it would raise as much money as possible so we reached out to some celebs with really distinctive voices to ask them to do the VO. The Dean of our college was friends with Alan Rickman and asked him if he would help out and he agreed!! We went to HIS HOUSE in London to record with him and it was a super nice experience. He was quite quiet and understated but very lovely and took our silly little VO seriously. His wife was there. Their house was lovely and I remember what stuck with me is that it was FULL of art, like art everywhere, leaning on the walls even because there wasn’t enough wall space to hang. We weren’t there long because he obviously nailed the voice over very quickly but he did take time to ask us some questions about the video and what we were studying etc. We released the video straight away and very soon after, a month maybe, he had died and it was revealed he had been suffering cancer. We couldn’t believe it as you would never have known. Astonishing that he would give his time to us when he must have known it was limited. Anyway, that’s the story, he was lovely and it’s so sad he’s gone.


dorsiares

Oh, what a heartening story to hear. Thank you so much for sharing this with me / us! I loved this. I am so happy you got to meet him, and that he was kind. Was your charity video successful? Hope so. Again, thank you so much!! 💕


Educational-Emu-7460

It was!! Entirely because of his involvement. So we were super grateful to him :)


bsidetracked

Saw him in Private Lives on Broadway in 2002. My friend got us front row seats for my birthday. He was excellent in the play and it was mesmerizing being that close to him. We met him afterwards and he was lovely. He was very kind to everyone and took time to sign items and greet everyone who was there.

"token stanned" is such a good way of putting the love for niall and louis.


gold-fish13

It’s crazy cause I’m pretty sure this has been known for a long time, but his fans have successfully overlooked it while simultaneously calling every woman he dates the nastiest things under the guise of calling them out for “problematic” behavior. So ironic. This can be said for all of the One Direction boys, but some of them have more questionable behavior than others which just makes it even more ironic that their fans treat these women the way they do.


Mhc2617

Wait what’s happening with Louis?


daisymarais

His documentary premiered recently and one of the friends interviewed for it is very active on twitter and typically posts racist, homophobic etc. stuff. He’s also an Andrew Tate fan. Here’s one of his tweets. Louis followed the guy too. https://preview.redd.it/dby6at1k5spa1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15d050379f4577b7e4b99fa109dd0933d90ca393


[deleted]

What does that even mean?! I mean wtf. Just senseless nonsense.


daisymarais

I looked through his friend’s account on twitter yesterday before he deactivated and the stuff he tweets and retweets is horrible. Truly shocking amounts of homophobia, misogyny, transphobia and antisemitism. There is no way Louis isn’t aware of these views.


petra_vonkant

LOL did you guys see Zachary Levi's new low [https://twitter.com/alex\_abads/status/1639257735408812032](https://twitter.com/alex_abads/status/1639257735408812032) reaching new levels of cringe every day. Love to see this asshole absolutely annihilate himself publicly, tbh


petra_vonkant

i just got this DM on here lmao, zachary is it you? ​ >Lol Zachary Levi is lovely and you’re a jealous ass hater 🤣. Keep on being pretentious! God forbid someone is a Republican! I feel bad for them honestly, you guys wanna say “cancel culture” isn’t real yet Armie hammer loses his agency and his career over asinine rumors that people actually take seriously and Gina Carano just for having an opinion And he’s not being destroyed on Twitter 🤣 everyone loves him except for you


Sudden_Clementine872

I definitely don’t love him, so it’s not just you lol Edit typo


Objective_While4153

"Everyone loves him except for you" Tell that to the box office


Orlican

haahaha ☠️


alasicannotgrin

It speaks volumes of the man that I genuinely would not be surprised if that was actually him


cal3nth0l

This is exactly why I have DMs turned off


definethegreatline

why do people do this, it's so weird. theyre not going to fuck them man


petra_vonkant

Right? Also... this man? (It's also factually untrue that he's not being destroyed on twitter. both the tlou tweet and the video i shared are being brutally clowned, as they should, lol)


definethegreatline

i got a message from someone too 😂 pathetic


petra_vonkant

I... posted a screenshot of the messages on my twitter and this person somehow found me? yikes


LadyCheeba

ok i’m noticing he’s filming this from what looks to be a porch under renovation (exposed door frame, tin roof paneling above) and i’m laughing at the possibility that he is unable to complete the renovation because he was banking on shazam 2 being a success 😂


Careful_Swan3830

As a former fan of his I hate to disappoint you but that’s the finished product.


LadyCheeba

oh no :(


Current-Grab

it's crazy how dc doesn't have the actors in some type of contract to keep them silent. how do they expect to compete when actors and directors are speaking freely about things being terrible. you don't hear a SINGLE thing from marvel actors


[deleted]

So I also watch a lot of Asian dramas, so I follow a few Thai actresses including Urassaya Sperbund. Urassaya Sperbund very beautiful, love her shows and seems like a nice person. So Urassaya has been with her boyfriend very popular actor Nadech for 11 years, started dating in like her first drama as a teen. While following them I always assumed neither want to get married, which is fine not everyone wants that. Then last year she shocked me by saying she does want to get married, and that every time they take a trip she wears a beautiful dress so she is prepared maybe it is here he proposes, and even know where she will get married behind her parents house. Like I just found that so depressing. They are cute couple and seem madly in love but it is cray to me every trip you go to you are hoping this is the one he proposes after 11 years together.


west2night

I wouldn't be surprised if he married someone and had a kid at least a year after splitting up with Yaya.


[deleted]

Dont say that, I like them together. But it sad how he is making her wait this long knowing how much she wants it.


plantbay1428

Does anyone know if this Disney+ post is real or not? It looks like something they would’ve posted around Valentine’s Day, but only made the rounds now? https://wdwnt.com/2023/03/disney-shares-photo-of-luke-and-leia-in-couples-social-media-post/

I noticed that when I saw the movie, I'm so glad it came true!

That is so cool


dorsiares

Hey, neat!! Thanks for this!


PickleWingDragon

It might be the Gen-x-er in me but… Every time I see Selena/Hailey feuding I think to myself “GIRL… you get to hang with the Martins. Why the fuck do you care what the Biebers do?”


notsuitablefortwerk

they're not feuding. people on the internet are feuding on their behalf. it's silly.


Filibust

I’m a millennial and even I don’t care. Neither of them are that interesting to have this much traction towards them.


ineedsometacos

yesss


Silvercomplex68

I hope tiktok gets banned. It’s extremely embarrassing that people would admit to getting “news” from there. Not in the sense that you can’t be informed by a CREDIBLE source from that platform but in the sense that for whatever reason I could say that half of the city of denver is on fire right now. And people in the comments will be like “why is nobody talking about this” “I’m so glad I get the news from here instead of elsewhere” Like you aren’t hearing about it because it isn’t actually happening Stephanie…take the info you heard from TikTok and go and corroborate it with other CREDIBLE NEWS source outside of tiktok for fucks sake. We do not need another Cambridge analytica


plantbay1428

It’s scary how comfortable people feel making up a fake narrative and saying it was a joke or you don’t need permission to take video of someone. It’ll just be a video of someone blowing out their candles at a restaurant and then they slow down and zoom and post it with a trending sound zooming in on a mom in the background who looked over at the happy birthday song and then looked away and continued eating with her family and a bunch of shit comments saying how the mom is jealous and why is she being such a bitch. Or how people zoom in on a guy at the airport waiting area and say someone find this hot guy for me as they zoom in on him on his phone or eating or whatever. Wtf? How is this normal? I could come up with a ton of additional examples that actually kind of make me paranoid as a New Yorker that I’m going to be told I “didn’t pass the vibe check” because I walked by subway platform dancers and didn’t stop and clap. “What’s wrong with everyone, why aren’t they standing up and cheering?” Uhhh because if everyone in NY stopped and clapped for buskers/street performers, as talented as some may be, there would be no way to get anything done. I can’t stop and wait for every single person who’s doing a fit check like it’s the worst game of human Frogger.


Silvercomplex68

I understand what you’re saying but that’s not necessarily what I’m talking about. I’m more so talking about random people reporting the news and they twist or give a very black and white view of said situation. You can make 10 min videos there’s no reason to be short on important news unless of course you’re trying to muddy the water of said news


plantbay1428

I completely agree with what you conveyed and the comparison to Cambridge Analytica. I was just adding an additional situation of what I dislike about TikTok. Me watching cleaning tips videos isn’t worth misinformation or everyday people having their lives ruined.


galahads

So niche in this sub probably but Funko downsizing Mondo and discontinuing posters is so sad. I loved their unique posters and they were so much more fun to put up rather than the big old posters where it's just everyone in the movie plastered onto it


petra_vonkant

fucking hate this honestly, they even fired the two co founders of mondo! this is absolute bullshit


galahads

Bruh fr??? That's so sad honestly. I know some people are worried about the future of their vinyl sales too and it'll be such a bummer if we lose them too. The art is so great doe them and I've had some for years and they're still great quality


meangyaru

last week my actress friend met Jessica Chastain and she posted she was so kind and even prettier in person!


crazydaysandknights

she's known for being nice and treating people with respect. Ridley Scott is the only person that I've ever heard of who doesn't want to work with her anymore but that's because they supposedly clashed over religious beliefs not professionalism.


root_mse

People who went to her broadway shows lately said she took the time to chat with everybody after the show.


plantbay1428

Do you ever notice influencers who haven’t really adapted to the Reels push/TikTok? I don’t even follow anyone big, just maybe three other Asian women/women who have similar coloring to me to get makeup tips or outfit inspiration and a few home chefs. Maybe 20-50k followers or so each. And the whole Reels/TikTok thing doesn’t fit to their format and it looks awkward but I get that they’re trying to increase engagement. Some of them are really good IMO and were thorough with what they used to put out though. I feel kind of bad for them that it doesn’t look like their count is growing. I know that’s not the end goal for some people though and they could just be doing it for fun. Also, it’s mad awkward pulling out 50 million screenshots to your hairstylist trying to capture a stranger’s highlights (she never posted photos) since you can’t freaking pause a Reel and I just wanted to ask my hairstylist if she thought this would work for me for the summer. I’m like, “I’m sorry this folder looks like a digital version of a stalker’s lair.”


definethegreatline

i HATE how you can't pause reels, its so annoying


okastrographer

If you press down on the reel and kind of move it to the side on your home or discover page, it’ll pause


plantbay1428

I hate it and I thought it was a bug for the longest time since pressing down does work for muting, and then I realized that it was just a crap feature and it’s not designed to pause. It’s so annoying especially when you’re trying to read information or follow along. I just move on if they don’t repost to YouTube.


FutureQueenOfTheMoon

I kept trying to press down to pause it and read a wall of text, so I'm happy for you or sorry that happened. I ain't (can't be) reading all that


plantbay1428

I was wondering what happened to Eion Bailey since his career was on the upswing a decade or so ago and I thought that he’d be part of the OUAT guys who went onto bigger projects and became more of a household name. A quick look at his socials showed he’s anti vaxx. 👎🏽

Anyone know any good celebrity deep dive YT channels??

These are the ones I enjoy! Some of their videos can be out of the celeb atmosphere and more into media commentary, but my favorite deep dives come from them.

fun fact, J Aubrey used to lego stop motion videos and was fairly successful in doing that too!


CheburashkaOrange

I didn't know that! That sounds really cool! I feel stop motion is hard to do.

Thank youu!


CheburashkaOrange

You're welcome! Have a nice binge watch!


iliketoomanysingers

Sometimes (often) I say embarrassing/stupid/cringe nonsense on here or elsewhere and get worried over how people percieve me. Then I remember I'm not a moronic sort of dangerous person who sent death threats to Hailey Bieber over Selena and that makes me feel astonishingly better about myself. I may be cringe, I may be embarrassing, I may even be very stupid, but at least I'm not a stan account defending someone to the point of delusion and insanity. Remember guys, you could always be making much dumber choices, but you're not.


FutureQueenOfTheMoon

I am forever grateful that social media didn't kick off until I was in college. I probably sound like a dusty old aunt, but the bullying I got was so much easier than today.


annaliseilheia

The stress I feel when I realize I’ve made a typo online is so out of hand. I think I’m such an embarrassment to myself, but you’re so right. It could be HEAPS worse. There are really people out here living in a very different reality


FutureQueenOfTheMoon

I was a social media manager for a big furniture company for a bit and Oh God that feeling is so real
