Jennifer Coolidge is bigger than ever. Ever since playing Stiffler’s mom in the first American Pie (which also get her some real-life action), she’s been an always welcome supporting player or guest star. The White Lotus not only finally took her next level, but also showered her in one award after another. Now she’ll have another trophy to her name, and one from Harvard University, no less (though technically it’s a pot).
As per Entertainment Weekly, the erstwhile Tanya McQuoid (although supposedly she could always return in a prequel or something) will be given the Ivy League university’s Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year. The award was established in 1951 and it singles out female performers who have made a “lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment.”
When she receives the trophy (again, it’s a honey pot), she’ll find herself amongst august company indeed. Among those who’ve also received it include Debbie Reynolds, Katharine Hepburn, Joanne Woodward, Jane Fonda, Shirley MacLaine, Lauren Bacall, Angela Lansbury, Carol Burnett — and that’s just into the ‘60s. More recent winners include Kerry Washington, Octavia Spencer, and Viola Davis.
Coolidge will accept the award on February 4, which will also include her leading a parade through Harvard Square. She’ll also be the subject of a celebrity roast, which will surely feature her delivering one of the beautifully chaotic speeches that have become a welcome fixture of TV awards shows, even when they cut her off.
Now, Uzi showed off a new hairstyle and face piercings in a picture that’s circulating social media. Jewels Parlor Piercing Studio confirmed that they gave Uzi six new piercings earlier this month. Fans are pointing out the scene-kid vibes of the photo — especially with the Rolling Stones beanie — and it’s making people nostalgic for the Myspace era.
Uzi recently announced that they’ll be heading on a 20-city headlining tour produced by Live Nation beginning in March. It’ll be their first tour in six years, and fans are hoping Uzi’s highly anticipated third major-label album The Pink Tape is coming soon after many delays: “But I’m taking my time so it won’t suck,” they explained.
Along with the success of “Just Wanna Rock,” Uzi also teamed up with Fousheé in November of last year for “Spend The Money,” a track from her debut album Softcore. The song also came with a luxurious music video full of dancing and poker.

Ava Max just revealed that she has big plans for 2023. The Milwaukee singer recently shared that she will be headlining her first tour soon. Max stopped by Apple Music 1 to chat with host Zane Lowe about how she is preparing to launch her first tour.
“I’m going on my first headline tour this year,” she told Zowe. “I’m really excited.”
Max told the host that she’s been waiting for the right time to make the jump, and now she was more ready than ever.
“That’s something I can’t wait to do… This year it’s go time, I’m gonna be on the road all year,” she continued.

Max, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, has not shared an official tour date, but it will most likely be coming soon. The tour will presumably surround the upcoming release of her Diamonds & Dancefloorsalbum later this week. Unfortunately, the 14-track album has no features.
“I had to figure out who I was again because I let someone else define me for the past year,” she told Rollacoaster Magazine regarding the inspiration for her upcoming album. “It’s been a journey for sure. I’m stronger than ever now, I look back and realize it was all a good thing.”
Diamonds & Dancefloors is out on 1/27 via Atlantic.

On Tuesday, Fox News’ attempt to paint Joe Biden as a monster for taking home government documents — while trying to ignore Donald Trump doing the same thing at a higher level — ran into a snag. It was revealed Mike Pence, Trump’s erstwhile veep, had done the same thing, too. The news upended the news network’s plan to make Biden look bad. If that sounds like some unkind reading into how they operate, you can hear them say as much on live TV.
Watters: I mean Pence, seriously. We have this great thing going with Joe. Come on man! pic.twitter.com/EyLZsGq6iL
On that day’s episode of The Five, co-hosts Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, and Jeanine Pirro joked-but-not-really about how Pence chucked a wrench into their plans:
WATTERS: I mean, Pence, seriously. We have this great thing going with Joe–
GUTFELD: Yeah, and he just ruined it!
PIRRO He did!
WATTERS: Come on, man!
GUTFELD: Now what are we gonna do?
WATTERS: And he confessed to it. I mean, he could’ve just destroyed it. We never would’ve known.
GUTFELD: And we have to be fair and balanced and show both sides.
WATTERS: I know. Now we have to show both sides! And you know Pence is so clean. Squeaky clean. It’s nothing like the real bad documents that Joe Biden was squirreling away.
GUTFELD: Do you think he just wanted to be included?
WATTERS: He’s like, “Hey I’m running for president too. Investigate me! I looked at secret stuff!”
Before the Pence news, it had been major news that both Trump and Biden (after his vice presidency) had both taken government documents back to their respective homes. There were many differences between the cases. For one thing, Trump took hundreds of documents, painted the feds as villains, tried to obstruct their investigation, and even claimed he could declassify things with his mind. (He couldn’t.) Yet Fox News has tried to paint Biden, who took less and has played ball with investigators, as the bad guy.
Now that Pence has joined the mix, even they have to admit they can’t in good conscience make such bad faith arguments. Then again, surely Tucker and Hannity and Ingraham can find a way to spin it.
Since 2018, the NBA All-Star Game has featured a draft, with a pair of team captains building the rosters weeks before the game on TNT. Though the change has been quite popular since its inception, many have wondered if one particular curveball could make things even more interesting, and the NBA seemingly heard the whispers.
The league announced on Tuesday that the 2023 edition will feature a draft that takes place just moments before the game itself during what is described as a “new, live pregame segment” from Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.
The @NBA and @TheNBPA announced today that TNT will air the 2023 NBA All-Star Draft as a new, live pregame segment at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET from Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. pic.twitter.com/heWwh4k8MR
The captains, as usual, will be the top vote-getters in both conferences, but the chaos will emerge from there. There are logistical questions, including a harmless one like whether the players will have both jerseys made before the game. The betting market also won’t love this particular change, as it makes it essentially impossible to handicap.
Still, this is an idea that is fantastic in theory, and the draft becomes even more “must-see TV” given the live nature and immediate ramifications. The All-Star Game is often associated with the feel of a pick-up game, and this will add to that. It remains to be seen as to whether this will be a permanent change, but the internet will celebrate and we’ll see how this goes.
Even though people have endless options to find love these days, whether in real life or online, finding the perfect person still isn’t easy. In fact, according to Pew Research, 55% of women believe dating is harder today than it was 10 years ago. So it’s understandable that some are considering ditching the apps to meet people in real life.
Studies show that for people looking for a serious relationship, real life may be the better option.
According to Newsweek, a study by Illinois State University sociology professor Susan Sprecher found that young people who first met face to face were 25% more likely to report feelings of closeness than those who initially met online. Aditi Paul, a communications professor at Pace University in New York, found that people who first met in real life lasted four times longer than those who met online.
Single women who’ve been let down by the men they’ve met online have started a funny TikTok trend where they are going to Home Depot to find a husband. Why not? If you’re looking for a hard-working man, that’s probably where to find one.
It appears as though the trend first started on TikTok in 2021. “Ladies, no joke, Home Depot is where you go if you want to meet a man,” TikTok user @meganlouise217 said.
Home Depot is made out of husband material. #datingadvice #husband #single #fyp #fyi
Holly Allen is a taken woman but she swears that the men are “everywhere” at Depot at 8:30 am on a Wednesday. “For all of you ladies who are trying to find the perfect soul mate. I’ve found them,” she said.
For all my single ladies! #homedepot #singleladies #fyp #overthirty #foundthem
TikTok user @joleene_d took the trend to heart and went to the source, Home Depot employees, and asked them where to find the single men. “Do you have an aisle specifically where single men are?” she asked.
Reply to @jenhealer I tried! @Home Depot. It didn’t work. (two and a half weeks into my 4-week online dating experience.) #homedepot #onlinedating #single
It’s not just the women who are looking to find a man at Home Depot.
now it’s all about finding love in the lumber aisle ✋😔 @tannertan36
However, finding love is hard no matter where you look for it. Some women complained that they visited their local Home Depot and came up empty-handed.
Out of stock 🤷♀️ #homedepotchallenge #gossipgirlhere #fypシ #singlemom #trending #creator #greenscreenvideo #foryou #fyp #homedepot
Megan Louise has some words for those who say there are no single men to be found at Home Depot. She says they’re going at the wrong time.
“A good man, he works, he works during the day,” Megan said. “You have to go when they open at five. Because they’re going there before work they’re getting whatever they forgot, lost, or broke the day before. Now, they’re in a hurry, late and probably haven’t had coffee yet. So you need to be ready, have your number on paper, hand it to them and hope you believe in love at first sight because that’s how it’s going to happen.”
She also says it’s best to avoid Saturdays because that’s when married men shop at Home Depot. She says Friday nights are great because all the taken men are out with their significant others.
Reply to @tinabear313 how to get a man at Home Depot pt 2 kinda… like for a pt3 #homedepot #datingadvice #single #homeimprovement #fyp #fyi
Even though picking up people at big-box retail locations may not be the best way to create a long-term relationship, the Home Depot challenge is an important reminder to get off our phones and meet people in real life for a change. You may be missing out on someone really special because you may find chemistry with someone in person who didn’t stand out online.
Brendan Fraser might be making the greatest career comeback ever, racking up accolades and award nominations for his dramatic, transformative role in “The Whale.” But the OG Fraser fans (the ones who watch “Deadpool” solely to hear his voice and proudly pronounce his last name as Fray-zure, for this is the proper pronunciation) have known of his remarkable talent since the 90s, when he embodied the ultimate charming, dashing—and slightly goofball—Hollywood action lead.
Let us not forget his arguably most well known and beloved 90s character—Rick O’Connell from the “Mummy” franchise. Between his quippy one-liners, Indiana Jones-like adventuring skills and fabulous hair, what’s not to like?
During a double feature of “The Mummy” and “The Mummy Returns” in London, moviegoers got the ultimate surprise when who should walk in but Brendan Fraser himself, completely decked out in Rick O’Connell attire. The brown leather jacket. The scarf. Everything.
“I am proud to stand before you tonight,” he told the audience. “This is a film that was made in Britain. You should know that! Even the second one, too. Be proud. Thank you for being here.”
He continued, “We didn’t know if it was a drama or a comedy or a straight-ahead action or romance, a horror picture, more action, all of the above. No idea until it tested in front of British audiences. Thank you for that.”
Fraser then asked the crowd if anyone hadn’t actually seen the movie yet, before shouting, “Outstanding!” when somebody raised their hand. He then quickly made a polite plug encouraging people to go see “The Whale” before whisking himself away, saying, “I won’t take up any more of your time.”
Uh, yeah…I don’t think any time spent with Brendan Fraser is a waste. Do you?
Watch the adorable clip below:
As to whether or not “Mummy” fans will ever see a new Rick O’Connell story up on the big screen—only time will tell. In the meantime, we’ll keep watching this video on repeat.
Fear of flying—aerophobia, in technical terms—is an extremely common phobia, affecting around 25 million adults in the U.S. alone. Some people grit their teeth and white-knuckle their way through their fear, while others find themselves unable to get on an airplane at all because of it.
Such a fear is understandable, really. Hurtling through the sky at 500 miles per hour, tens of thousands of feet above the Earth’s surface, isn’t exactly the way humans were designed to get from place to place. (We may have evolved with the brain power and ingenuity to make it happen, but that doesn’t mean we automatically go along for the ride without our sense of self-preservation kicking in.)
One of the triggers for people with aerophobia is turbulence—the occasional shaking and pitching of an aircraft when it hits certain conditions in the atmosphere. Even people who are comfortable flying can find turbulence disconcerting sometimes, especially when it creates a sudden dropping sensation. Turbulence is normal, but it doesn’t feel normal when you’re sitting in a chair 30,000 feet from solid ground. It feels chaotic and out of control.
Anna Paul, a popular TikTok star from Australia, has shared a helpful visual for people freaked out by turbulence in a video that has more than 19 million views.
Paul explains that a pilot shared the analogy of a plane flying through the air being like an object suspended in jello. There’s pressure on all sides, so even if the jello is shaken—and the object shaken along with it—the pressure suspends the object.
In other words, a plane is not going to suddenly drop down out of the sky due to turbulence, in the same way that an object won’t drop out of the middle of a bowl of jello.
The jello analogy is also used by aerophobia experts. Therapist Les Posen specializes in flying phobias, and he shows his clients a model airplane suspended in raspberry jello to illustrate the fact that turbulence won’t cause a plane to drop out of the sky. He even goes a step farther by having clients smell the jello, and then advises them to eat some raspberry candy or juice on the plane to remind themselves of the analogy, using their senses to calm their nerves.
At the end of her video, Paul said there’s never been a plane crash from turbulence, but that’s not quite true. In 1966, a flight (BOAC 911) coming out of Tokyo broke apart in midair due to unexpected severe turbulence. However, that was a very long time ago. Monitoring of meteorological conditions has greatly advanced since then, as have the designs of modern aircraft and the skill of pilots, so experts will tell you that turbulence is not something to worry about.
If imagining air pressure as jello doesn’t really work for you, it may be helpful to have a visual of what turbulence actually is. For that, Captain Stuart Walker, who has been flying for 30 years, explains the four main types of turbulence, what causes them and what pilots do to avoid them or reduce their impact. He also explains what passengers can do to minimize their chances of feeling turbulence on a flight, such as sitting over the wings or toward the front of the plane and flying earlier in the day when temperatures are not as likely to cause air disturbances.
Whether you prefer hospital-food-based analogies or no-nonsense, scientific explanations, the bottom line is that turbulence feels far scarier than it actually is. A shaking plane is not going to drop from the sky, modern aircraft can withstand a great deal of movement midair and pilots are highly trained to handle turbulence.
And remember: Commercial airline travel really is the safest way to get to where you’re going, statistically speaking. So next time you fly, kick back, relax and imagine you’re suspended in jello, knowing you’re in capable hands when the turbulence starts.
Polo G might have just started a new trend when it comes to styling jewelry. The Chicago rapper took to social media recently to share that he turned his chain into an “ice box.” Polo, whose real name is Taurus Tremani Bartlett, is no stranger to loving the finer things in life. At this point, who doesn’t expect every rapper to sport an icy chain?
The diamond-encrusted chain dripped on his next with what appeared to be a holder for a mobile device. It’s unclear how much the “Martin and Gina” rapper paid for the piece, but you can imagine it probably wasn’t cheap.
When it comes to music, the rapper has kept himself busy. Recently, Polo dropped his latest song, “My All,” which was released this past December. His latest song follows his previously-released tracks from 2022, like “Bag Talk” and “Distraction.” Presumably, these tracks will show up on the rapper’s forthcoming album.
While there has been no word on a title or official release date, fans should expect to hear something soon, hopefully.
“I know I’m registering with people and helping them get through their sh*t,” Polo told Complex last summer. “It’s a good feeling because I get those messages, like, ‘Oh, you got me through a rough time.’ I really know how that be.”
Along with the announcement of her album, she unveiled another single, “Joiner,” which can’t decide between destruction and resolution: “I think I wanna save you / I think I wanna join in,” she sings against vibrant guitars.
“I was listening to a lot of Britpop when I wrote this song,” the 25-year-old said about the song in a statement. “A lot of those bands (The Verve, Pulp, Suede, Blur, etc.) channeled dark subject matter, drugs, and all this dirty stuff, but with a fun acoustic guitar under it. I was listening to The Replacements, too. That’s what this song was inspired by sonically. I wanted it to feel like you’re watching HBO, where even though it’s heavy, it’s still a good time.”
