Turns out Lex Luthor has a heart . . . and a spare kidney.
Actor Jesse Eisenberg, who played Superman’s arch-nemesis in the Zack Snyder “Justice League” film and Mark Zuckerberg in “The Social Network”, is donating one of his kidneys this December. Not to a friend or relative, but to someone he’s never even met.
“I’m doing an altruistic donation,” Eisenberg explained, adding that it’s “essentially risk-free and so needed.”
He hopes his example inspires others, saying, “I think people will realize that it’s a no-brainer, if you have the time and the inclination.”
For anyone unfamiliar, an altruistic or non-directed living donation means the donor doesn’t know the recipient. Instead, doctors match the donated kidney with someone who’s medically compatible and waiting on the transplant list. Eisenberg’s doing it through the National Kidney Foundation’s family voucher program, which ensures his family would get priority in the future if they ever needed a kidney themselves.
Eisenberg also shared that he’s a regular blood donor, and he’s surprisingly enthusiastic about it.
“I just have so much blood in me, and I feel like I should spill it,” he joked. “I really like doing it, and I don’t know why. I got, like, bitten by the blood donation bug. I love it.”
It’s not every day that you hear about a Hollywood star giving away an organ out of pure generosity. But Eisenberg’s upcoming surgery shines a light on how powerful one act of kindness can be, and how lifesaving living donations are. According to the National Kidney Foundation, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a kidney transplant, and living donors help reduce that number in a major way.
So while Jesse Eisenberg might be known for playing villains on screen, in real life he’s making a move that’s nothing short of heroic.
Everyone is collectively squinting at their screens right now, because there’s a guy on TikTok who looks EXACTLY like Kevin James . . . and not in the “my friend says I look like Chris Pratt if you tilt your head” kind of way.
This art teacher, named Matt Taylor, could walk into a “King of Queens” reboot tomorrow and no one would blink.
Matt’s first TikTok dropped on the 15th, and since then he’s posted a few more, each one making the mystery even juicier. The voice? Spot-on. The delivery? Uncannily Kevin James-ish. He’s even got an Instagram, but here’s where it gets weird: he only follows one person: Ed Sheeran. Because… why not, right?
Naturally, fans have theories.
Maybe Matt Taylor is just a regular art teacher with an unfortunate (or very fortunate) case of celebrity doppelgänger face. But others think there’s something more Hollywood happening here.
Why? Because Kevin James just so happens to have a new movie coming out in February called “Solo Mio”. And, you guessed it, he plays a guy named Matt. In the movie, his character gets left at the altar in Rome and decides to go on his honeymoon alone, discovering himself and Italy in the process. No mention of teaching art, though, unless painting landscapes counts.
So is TikTok’s Matt Taylor actually Kevin James in disguise, doing a little viral marketing before the movie drops? The timing feels too perfect. But until someone catches both men in the same frame, the debate lives on.
One thing’s for sure: if this is Kevin, he’s pulling off the most wholesome celebrity undercover act. And if it’s not? Well, give that art teacher an agent.
(You can check out all of Matt Taylor’s TikToks here and decide for yourself.)
Most celebrities prefer to quietly update their looks and hope nobody notices. Jennifer Lawrence? Not so much.
In a new interview with The New Yorker, the Oscar-winning star got brutally honest about her body after having two kids, admitting she’s planning a little repair work in the breast department.
“Everything bounced back, pretty much, after the first one,” she said. “Second one, nothing bounced back.”
Lawrence didn’t shy away from the details, saying she’s not trying to drastically change her appearance—just restore what motherhood, as she put it, “took away.”
The Hunger Games actress also revealed she gets Botox, but she has to be strategic about it, because she needs her forehead to move when she acts.
It’s a refreshingly candid take in a world where Hollywood stars usually deny, deflect, or blame “great lighting” for visible changes. Lawrence’s willingness to be open about cosmetic work fits perfectly with the personality that made her famous early on: unfiltered, funny, and sometimes too real for her own good.
She also acknowledged that her no-filter approach has rubbed some people the wrong way over the years. “Well, it is, or it was, my genuine personality,” she explained. “But it was also a defense mechanism.”
The honesty is vintage J-Law—mixing humor and humility in a way that feels more relatable than Hollywood-polished.
In an era where stars carefully curate their image down to every selfie and soundbite, her openness feels like a breath of fresh air.
And while fans might debate her decision to tweak a few things, one thing’s for sure: Jennifer Lawrence is still as unapologetically herself as ever, just with a little extra help from modern medicine.
The movies have given us some ridiculous monsters.
Who knows what these filmmakers were thinking. Maybe they dreamed bigger than their budget should have let them. Or maybe the mushrooms hit a little too hard. Whatever the case, here are 10 of the most ridiculous movie monsters in history.
Killer Bunny Rabbits: “Night of the Lepus” (1972)
Three years before “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” did it as a joke, this movie made rabbits into killing machines . . . and asked us to take it seriously. But did I mention they’re GIANT rabbits, made massive by hormone experiments intended to make them stop breeding?
Did I also mention that DeForest Kelley . . . Dr. McCoy from “Star Trek” . . . and Janet Leigh from “Psycho” are in it?
Vampire Turkey Man: “Blood Freak” (1972)
When Something Weird Video rescued “Blood Freak” from obscurity years ago, they promoted it as “The World’s Only Turkey-Monster Anti-Drug Pro-Jesus Gore Film.” And unless another one’s come along since, this statement is completely accurate.
Herschell is a Vietnam Veteran who becomes a turkey from the neck up thanks to a combination of bad weed and tainted poultry. He’s also a vampire, who must feed on the blood of other addicts. I mean, you try taking a hit off a joint with a turkey beak!
This is a terrible, terrible movie, and if that’s your bag, it’s a must-see.
Bad Movie Bonus: Co-director Brad F. Ginter appears intermittently as a narrator, warning us of the dangers of drugs and chemically altered food . . . while smoking a cigarette that at one point sends him into a coughing fit. I guess the budget didn’t allow for second takes.
The Were-Cicada: “The Beast Within” (1982)
1981 was a landmark year for werewolves, thanks to the release of both “The Howling” and “An American Werewolf in London”. But 1982 belonged to the Were-Cicada. And I am not kidding.
17-year-old Michael MacCleary hasn’t been feeling so hot. Turns out he was conceived when his mother was raped by a strange creature in the woods off a rural Mississippi backroad. The assailant was a man who used Native American magic to turn himself into a cicada-like creature, then impregnated a woman so that his offspring would emerge 17 years later, as cicadas do, and exact revenge against his enemies.
“The Beast Within” is a darn good movie with one exception: The monster. Thanks to budget and technological limitations, it looks NOTHING like a cicada. Or any other insect for that matter. It actually looks kind of like E.T., if he pumped himself with steroids but didn’t lift.
In 1986, David Cronenberg would insectify the crap out of Jeff Goldblum in “The Fly”, so maybe they should have just waited a few years for the technology to catch up.
The Demon Bed: “Death Bed: The Bed that Eats” (1977)
This movie is so ridiculous, it’s kind of genius. Yes, it’s a bed that eats people, but it’s so much more. First of all, the bed doesn’t have a mouth, or teeth. People who lay on it just sink into it. You can even see its stomach acid as it dissolves the people and things it devours.
This flick is so cheaply made I think the director’s mother paid the cast and crew in grilled cheese sandwiches. But it’s a lot of fun, and it’s got some really interesting lore involving a demon crying tears of blood and a young artist watching everything from his prison behind a painting, which the bed long ago banished him to.
This one’s about as weird as they come, but I promise you’ll remember it.
The Space Herpe: “The Ice Pirates” (1984)
A criminally forgotten sci-fi comedy swashbuckler starring the late Robert Urich, Anjelica Houston, and Ron Perlman, “Ice Pirates” is a funny, exciting, and sure, sometimes politically incorrect romp. It was the ’80s, people.
In a universe where water is scarce and controlled by the evil Templars, Urich and his band of misfits cruise around the galaxy stealing giant blocks of ice from the Templars’ ships to make a living.
But one of their raids yields more than just frozen H20. After falling out of a crate they’ve pilfered, the fast-moving slug-like SPACE HERPE hatches from a pod and runs rampant through the ship. It’s eventually caught, but not before biting a crew member and ruining what looked like it was going to be a delicious turkey dinner.
Annoying Giant Teenagers: “Village of the Giants” (1965)
A precocious little kid called Genius invents a substance he dubs “Goo”, which makes animals grow to incredible size. Some annoying teenagers, including Beau Bridges in an early role, get their hands on it, ingest it, and become SUPER-annoying, 30-foot-tall teenagers who take over the whole town.
Ultimately, Genius . . . played by Ron Howard, I’ll have you know . . . develops an antidote. But delivering it to these post-pubescent monsters requires a distraction, which comes in the form of a seductive go-go dance by a normal-sized Toni Basil. Yes, THAT Toni Basil, 16 years before her “Hey Mickey” fame.
Perhaps you’ve seen the film’s most infamous image, of a guy hanging off a gigantic Amazon chick’s cleavage. They even used it on the poster.
Robert the Car Tire: “Rubber” (2010)
Nothing to see here, just a rubber tire that suddenly comes to life, stands up and starts rollin’ down the highway. Oh, it also has telekinetic powers, and can make people . . . and small animals . . . explode.
This one is intentionally absurd, and to paraphrase Quint from “Jaws”, it’s either very smart or very dumb. Online opinions vary widely. But “Rubber” lets you know what you’re getting into from the jump, thanks to a character breaking the fourth wall to tell us that film, just like life, is full of things that happen for no reason. And it just keeps getting weirder.
A Volkswagen Dressed Up as a Giant Spider: “The Giant Spider Invasion” (1975)
Sometimes a simple premise and a little gusto is all you need, and that describes “The Giant Spider Invasion” perfectly. Spiders from outer space crash land in a small town inside meteors, grow to enormous size, and start doing what movie monsters do.
This one occupies a sacred spot in the so-bad-it’s-good bin, largely thanks to the awful, low-budget spiders. One of the bigger ones is actually a Volkswagen Beetle in a spider costume!
Bonus: The sheriff is played by Alan Hale Jr., a.k.a. The Skipper on “Gilligan’s Island” . . . and early in the film, he calls another character “Little Buddy”.
The Vagina Dentata: “Teeth” (2007)
Every feminist’s dream, every man’s nightmare: The Vagina Dentata. If you’ve heard this term before, there’s a good chance it’s because of this movie. If you’ve never heard it, you can probably guess what it is just from the name, plus the title of the movie.
Dawn O’Keefe is a teenage spokesperson for a Christian abstinence group, and somehow, she keeps finding herself in the company of sexual predators who want to take advantage of her. She discovers her “gift” by accident, but by the end of the flick, she’s using it very deliberately . . . only on guys who deserve it, of course.
Hermaphrodite Gene Simmons: “Never Too Young to Die” (1986)
This film poses, but ultimately does not answer, an important question: Can one be a drag queen, or king for that matter, when one possesses both male and female sex organs?
If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wait, Gene Simmons isn’t a monster,” then you’ve never faced him in a trademark infringement case, or seen him chew the scenery in “Never Too Young to Die”. Here, Gene plays Velvet Von Ragnar, who’s the psychopathic leader of a gang he must have stolen from a “Mad Max” casting pool, a god-awful nightclub singer with unfettered access to Cher’s wardrobe, and an evil supervillain plotting to poison the water supply of a major U.S. city and hold it for ransom.
When he’s not busy trying to coax superstar gymnast-turned-spy Lance Stargrove, played by John Stamos’s hair, into bed, that is.
Has Gene, or his acting, ever been this horrific? Are we lucky that this film failed to launch John Stamos to action movie stardom? And did the Chinese-American actor who played Stamos’s nerdy friend who builds cool electronic gadgets ever apologize to the Asian community?
The answers to these questions are NOT in “Never Too Young to Die”. But Prince’s one-time muse Vanity is, and that alone is worth checking out.
Michael Keaton just got his hometown hero moment in Pittsburgh, and it came with an unfortunate typo.
The legendary actor was inducted into the inaugural class of the new Pittsburgh Walk of Fame on Monday, but eagle-eyed fans noticed a pretty big mistake: his name was misspelled on the plaque.
While the star itself got it right, the paragraph beneath listed him as “Micheal Keaton” instead of “Michael.” (Ouch.) For a man who’s been Batman, Beetlejuice, and a symbol of Pittsburgh pride, that’s not exactly the tribute he deserves.
The executive director of the project was quick to own up to the slip-up, saying, “I’m so sorry that this happened. He was so gracious when he was here, so expressive about his love for Pittsburgh and the people here. I can only hope he shows some grace and forgive me for this faux pas.”
A corrected plaque is reportedly already in the works.
It’s not clear if Keaton noticed the mistake. During his acceptance speech, he shared heartfelt words about what the honor meant to him: “There’s nothing like being recognized by your hometown, because it’s actually the place that makes you who you are. I hope when kids walk through here and look down at this star of mine and all these others, they look up and just wonder what’s possible.”
Keaton joins an impressive first class of honorees that also includes George Benson, Nellie Bly, Andrew Carnegie, Rachel Carson, Fred Rogers, Dr. Jonas Salk, Andy Warhol, Roberto Clemente, and August Wilson.
Still, Pittsburghers can’t help but laugh at the mix-up. It’s the kind of mistake that reminds you: even when honoring perfection, humans are gonna human. At least the city gets another chance to spell it right, because if there’s anyone who deserves it, it’s Michael Keaton.
Apple TV is rolling out a five-part docuseries about one of Hollywood’s greatest directors, Martin Scorsese. The project, simply titled Mr. Scorsese, dives deep into the filmmaker’s life and career, featuring interviews with some of the biggest names in entertainment.
But one major name is missing: Joe Pesci.
Director Rebecca Miller revealed that Pesci was the only person who said no to being interviewed for the series. Which, considering his role in so many of Scorsese’s best films — Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman — feels like a cinematic tragedy. Pesci even took home an Oscar for Goodfellas, so it’s not like his absence goes unnoticed.
According to Miller, though, Pesci’s decision wasn’t about ego or scheduling conflicts. It was personal. She explained that Joe “just doesn’t want to talk about the experiences that made him so perfect for this kind of role.” Apparently, those experiences hit a little too close to home.
Miller hinted that Pesci’s childhood in Newark, New Jersey, surrounded by real-life criminals, shaped his ability to play Scorsese’s volatile underworld characters so convincingly. “Joe was marked far worse than Marty was by those people,” she said. “I don’t think he wants to go over all that.”
One of the most famous scenes in “Goodfellas” was based on something Joe actually witnessed:
It’s a reminder that for some actors, art really does imitate life — and sometimes that life is better left off-camera.
So while Mr. Scorsese promises plenty of star power and behind-the-scenes insight, don’t expect any of that signature Pesci fire. The man who gave us “Funny how? Am I funny like a clown?” is sitting this one out, and for reasons only he can truly understand.
Selena Gomez is officially over the internet drama.
After Hailey Bieber made headlines for saying she’s tired of being pitted against Selena, the singer and Rare Beauty founder stepped in with a simple message: “Just leave the girl alone.”
Hailey recently spoke to a journalist who asked if she was worried about her Rhode beauty line being compared to Selena’s Rare Beauty. Her answer was clear and calm: “It’s always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that. When people want to see you a certain way and they’ve made up a story about you in their minds, it’s not up to you to change that.”
Selena seemed to respond shortly after, without naming names.
She wrote, “Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect my life whatsoever. It’s just about relevance, not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop.”
The internet, of course, did not stop because the Selena vs. Hailey “feud” is basically a social media cottage industry. Fans have been dissecting their relationship for years, from Hailey’s marriage to Justin Bieber (Selena’s very public ex) to side-by-side beauty brand comparisons and conspiracy-level TikTok theories about alleged shade.
But both women have made it clear they’re done with the noise.
This isn’t the first time Selena has spoken up about kindness online, and it fits her long-running theme of shutting down unnecessary drama. Meanwhile, Hailey has said repeatedly that she’s not interested in being part of some imaginary rivalry.
So, in the great tradition of women supporting women, and maybe just trying to get through their skincare routines in peace, Selena’s words hit perfectly: “There is room for everyone.”
Maybe it’s time the rest of us take the hint and, well, leave the girl alone.
Selena Gomez puts an end to the ongoing narrative between her and Hailey Bieber:
“Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn't affect my my life whatsoever. It's just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for… pic.twitter.com/feqzrUrUqB
Timothée Chalamet might already have the acting chops to someday land an EGOT, but this week, he added a much rarer title to his résumé: White Boy of the Year.
Yes, you read that right. The “Dune” star received the cheeky honor from Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards during his online “Believe That Awards” show.
Chalamet beat out a surprisingly competitive list of nominees, including Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise, Pat McAfee, and MrBeast. And in true Chalamet fashion, he didn’t just accept the award with a quick “thanks.” The actor joined the show remotely from Budapest, Hungary, where he’s currently filming, and gave a playful acceptance speech. He even joked about teaming up with Edwards for a “Training Day” reboot, which honestly, someone in Hollywood should make happen immediately.

Social media exploded after the segment aired, with fans and celebrities chiming in to congratulate Chalamet on his newest “achievement.”
The internet seems to agree that if there were ever going to be an official “White Boy of the Year,” Timmy fits the bill—charming, talented, and just self-aware enough to laugh at the whole thing.
So if Timothée ever does go on to achieve EGOT status, he’ll actually be in a league of his own—a WEGOT winner, since “White Boy of the Year” clearly deserves its own category.

Kevin Federline is stepping back into the spotlight, and he’s bringing some serious claims with him.
In his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, Federline reportedly says he doesn’t believe Britney Spears should have ever been released from her conservatorship.
In an excerpt that’s already making waves, Kevin writes, “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible. It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”
That “11th hour” line alone is giving tabloids plenty to work with. But it’s his claims about their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James (now 20 and 19), that are drawing the most attention.
Federline says the boys were afraid to be around their mother at times because of her erratic behavior. He even alleges that more than once, they woke up in the middle of the night to find Britney standing silently in their doorway, holding a knife.
Britney’s camp, unsurprisingly, is not having it. A rep for the singer responded, “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism.”
It’s the latest turn in what’s been nearly two decades of public ups and downs for the former couple, who divorced in 2007.
Britney’s conservatorship—once the focus of the #FreeBritney movement—was terminated in 2021 after 13 years.
Federline’s book is set to hit shelves on Tuesday, October 21st, and if this early drama is any indication, it won’t just be fans who are reading. The whole world will be watching how Britney responds next.
Kim Kardashian is once again proving that no topic is off-limits in fashion.
Her brand SKIMS just dropped what might be the most eyebrow-raising item in underwear history: micro string thongs with faux pubic hair. Yes, you read that correctly. FAUX. PUBIC. HAIR.
The new “Ultimate Bush” line comes in 12 variations featuring shades of brown, blonde, black, and red, with your choice of straight or curly faux hair. Each piece sells for $32, though good luck getting one—they sold out almost immediately. (Because apparently, the world has been waiting for this.) SKIMS fans who missed out can join the official waitlist, which is probably something no one ever expected to exist.
In typical SKIMS fashion, the brand leaned all the way into the bit. Their official tagline reads,
“With this iconic new panty, your carpet can be whatever color you want it to be.”
So, if you’ve ever wanted your “carpet” to match your “drapes” again, this might be your moment.
Social media, naturally, went wild. Comments ranged from delight to disbelief:
“Very Ed Gein of you, Kim,” one person wrote. Another begged, “Someone please tell me why these are out of stock. Who is buying?” One user simply demanded answers: “Kimberly, please show me the market research. Who asked for this?”
And then there’s the collective cry of the laser-hair-removal generation:
“Don’t you dare, Kimberly. I just spent a fortune on laser. We are not bringing the bush back.”
But maybe we are. From the rise of ‘70s-style grooming trends to Y2K-inspired minimalism making a full comeback, body hair is officially back in the conversation. Kim’s just giving people the option to fake it if they want to.
Whether it’s a cheeky fashion statement or a straight-up troll move, SKIMS has once again done what SKIMS does best—get everyone talking. And for better or worse, that’s what makes Kim Kardashian a marketing genius.
