Travis Kelce has remained the NFL’s best tight end even as his personal life has been put under a spotlight. Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star who leads all players at his position in receptions (48) and receiving yards (525), is currently dating Taylor Swift, who has become a fixture at Chiefs games over the course of the season.

As it turns out, Swift attending games is quite the boon for Kelce’s stats on a given day. During the Chiefs’ 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers this past week, CBS pointed out that Kelce’s numbers are much better when Swift is in attendance when compared to — their words in a terrific “Anti-Hero” pun, not mine — him being “left to his own devices.” This came up on the most recent episode of the New Heights podcast which Kelce hosts with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, and apparently, he’s fully aware that his numbers are better when Swift is at his games.

As Kelce pointed out, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is pretty happy that she’s showing up to games and helping to get the best out of his All-Pro tight end. Anyway, Patrick Mahomes said he knew during Swift’s first Chiefs game that he had to get Kelce a touchdown, and it certainly seems like that has remained the case.

Eric Andre dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday where the chaotic comedian proceeded to spin a kind of tale that you don’t usually see on the late night show. Mostly because it involved smoking toad venom and flying through an intergalactic anus.

Andre was on hand to promote his new book, Dumb Ideas, and he felt the best way to do that was telling Kimmel’s audience about his toad adventure.

“There’s a toad that lives in the Sonoran desert that hibernates for nine months out of the year in mud, and then it comes out of the mud like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now and it eats rats and it f—s hot other toads,” Andre told Kimmel. “It’s a big, giant toad, but if you smoke the venom off of its legs, you get high out of your mind.”

Naturally, Andre didn’t stop there and proceeded to tell Kimmel exactly how high he got. Via Entertainment Weekly:

“I sailed into the anus of the Milky Way galaxy, spun around Saturn’s rings, and had Thanksgiving dinner with God. It was unbelievable.”

The Prank Panel star explained that the toad’s venom is a “DMT derivative,” which is “a strong hallucinogenic” that has become popular in recent years. “You release it in your brain when you die, and when you’re born it’s incredible,” he said. “It’s kind of ayahuasca but on acid. If ayahuasca did acid, it’d be toad venom.”

But Andre wasn’t done yet. He wanted to make sure everyone knows exactly how to smoke toad venom in case the opportunity presents itself.

“You smoke it in, like, a little crack pipe,” Andre said. “You scrape it off the legs of the toad and you smoke it in a crack pipe and you go right into Neptune.”

Sounds…great? Thank you, Eric Andre.

Bad Bunny‘s latest era is showing to be promising. Upon the release of his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, Bunny has topped the Billboard 200 chart with the collection, and his single “Monaco” just debuted at No. 5 on the Hot 100. While Bad Bunny and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana may be dominating the streamers, fans are anxious to grab tickets to see him perform in person. However, given the demand for tickets to Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour, many are worried they won’t be able to see him, as tickets may be sold out.

Will Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour be sold out?

While we can’t necessarily predict the future, it’s not unlikely that Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour will sell out. His previous tour, El Último Tour Del Mundo, was reported to be the fastest-selling tour since 2018, according to Billboard. The magazine reports that over 480,000 tickets sold in less than a week.

Tickets went on sale today, and it seems like they’re going pretty quickly. But luckily, resellers already have additional tickets in stock (if you’re willing to break the bank, that is).

People cannot get all of their required contemporary drama from prime minister antics. Thankfully, soap operas have been here to fill that void (and provide blood feuds) for several decades, and the long-running The Young And The Restless has been doing the thing with largely the same actors for almost all this time. Star Christian LeBlanc has been playing Michael Baldwin since the 1990s, and boy, this character has undergone a massive transformation.

Not to mention a redemption arc that doesn’t feel possible in reality, but hey, that’s Genoa City life for you. As a character, Michael Baldwin actually endured a cancer battle, too, and in an eerie twist, LeBlanc suddenly found himself facing the same fate. However, he might have never known what was happening until it was too late if fans hadn’t noticed a telling sign. As LeBlanc told New Orleans CBS affiliate 4WWL, viewers told LeBlanc, “Your eye’s a little Jim Carrey that way.” Here’s more via EW:

When LeBlanc first started experiencing symptoms on set, he wasn’t sure what the issue was.

“They put my wedding ring on, Lauren and Michael’s wedding ring, and I put my hand down and the ring fell off without friction,” LeBlanc remembered. “I said, well, what an odd thing. My nose started bleeding on set. Sometimes this eye kind of got a little wonky, because there was a tumor in the sinus cavity. If I hadn’t gone in for an eye exam, it might have progressed more. It’s a very fast cancer and that is the danger of it.”

Fortunately, that fast-moving cancer is now in remission, and both Christian LeBlanc and Michael Baldwin will live to talk to other characters while facing into the camera another day. Many more days, actually. Whew.

Halloween is coming at us fast! You officially have less than a week to get everything in order. And while we’re sure you have the perfect costume (or costumes) picked out for all your Halloween weekend parties, don’t forget that if you have trick-or-treaters in your neighborhood they’re going to be banging on your door and ringing your doorbell looking for good candy. Very soon.

You don’t want to find yourself without the goods or you might just spend November 1st scrapping egg yolk off your windows. We know what you’re thinking, “most kids spend Halloween being ushered door-to-door by their parents — how big of a threat can they be?” But what about when they get home and their older siblings (~who maybe teleported here from 1985~) start digging through the candy only to find the Wurther’s Originals and Chick-o-Sticks? Oh, buddy, you’re screwed.

Those older kids will come for you in the late hours of the night. And, hell, in 2023 we wouldn’t put it past the parents either. So we’re helping you out by naming the candies we hate most and ranking them based on how many eggs will smack against your aluminum siding if you dare pass them out.

For every entry we’ve given each a 1-10 egg rating so you’ll know just how bad that morning-after-Halloween damage will be. Let’s dive in!

11. (tie) Fun Dip

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful:

Okay, I said we were going to be focusing on “bad candy” and I actually kinda-sorta like Fun Dip so this was a tough one to include. But let’s face it, Fun Dip is kind of the worst. Only one of the flavors is good, it gets everywhere, and it requires a separate weird flavorless piece of candy just to eat. Do you realize how much parents hate you for giving out Fun Dip? Just imagine that fine powder getting all over clothes and furniture then getting wet and turning to artificially dyed paste.

Do yourself and the poor parents of these children a favor — avoid this candy at all costs.

The Bottom Line:

The only candy that makes you wonder, “Am I better off just snorting this?”

11. (tie) Tootsie Rolls

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful:

I like Tootsie Rolls but I’ve never bought one myself. I’m convinced that every Tootsie Roll I’ve ever been offered is a leftover from the Halloween season. Once the children have eaten all the good candy, the parents are left with a bag of Tootsie Rolls, Dum-Dums, and Chick-O-Sticks and they keep them handy and offer them out for the rest of the year until some poor sap takes them up on the offer.

What are these even supposed to taste like? Chocolate-flavored plastic?

The Bottom Line:

No one’s favorite. And even in the Tootsie family, the Tootsie Roll Pop is vastly superior.

10. Hot Tamales

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful:

Ahh, Mike and Ike’s sexy cousin, the Hot Tamale — a spicy candy that tastes like…cinnamon? Look, I want to like Hot Tamales because there aren’t enough spicy candies out there in the market and I want to show the brands that it’s a candy genre they should spend more time exploring. But I can’t understand why anyone would name their candy “Hot Tamale” and then make it taste like cinnamon.

I like the sensation it provides on my tastebuds — I just find it overall pretty disappointing. Why would anyone rather have this over cinnamon gum like Big Red or Orbit Cinnamon?

The Bottom Line:

Whoever made this candy never had a tamale before. Or a metal filling they wanted to keep in their molars.

9. Dum Dums

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Imagine a lollipop but bad and you have Dum Dums. They’re small, the flavors are random (root beer, cream soda, and cotton candy? Get out of here), and they dissolve in your mouth in about five minutes.

This is the sort of candy you put in your bag only to forget you have it until months later. Then you eat it when it’s all sticky and you regret it instantly.

The Bottom Line:

These are only for candy dishes at the bank. Period.

8. Twizzlers

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this one but go ahead and bring it on. Twizzlers are a vastly inferior candy to Red Vines, which are softer and easier to chew, and have a better flavor.

The dominating flavor of Twizzlers is plastic. And a tiny hint of strawberry. But really the plastic is strongest.

The Bottom Line:

I know Twizzlers are insanely popular but they shouldn’t be. This is a garbage-tier candy.

7. Werther’s Original

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Werther’s Original is a tough one because I don’t think this candy is technically bad. I like the creamy caramel flavor and its gentle coffee-like notes but… I didn’t always like Werther’s. Not ’til I hit 25. What I’m trying to say is there isn’t a child alive who likes Werther’s — it’s the kind of candy you imagine your grandpa having in a bowl by his recliner.

I’m convinced that grandparents buy Werther’s just so that they have candy on hand to offer but don’t actually expect you to want any. This way they can hoard all the Werther’s for themselves.

The Bottom Line:

A good candy but a dismal Halloween candy.

6. Dubble Bubble

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

The most frustrating thing about Dubble Bubble is that for those first 30 seconds that you chew into this stuff, it actually tastes good. It has an addicting sweet bubblegum flavor to it. But less than a minute later the dominating flavor quickly becomes your own spit.

The Bottom Line:

It’s whatever (fine, I suppose) but loses flavor so fast that you’re better off never eating it.

5. Dots

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Jujyfruits, Swedish Fish, Dots — they’re all very similar, only Dots is the worst of them. Dots are nearly flavorless, they seem designed to have just enough flavor to trick you into eating another Dot, then another, and another, trying to satisfy an itch that this candy just can’t scratch.

Before you know it you’re a box deep and you’re still not satisfied.

The Bottom Line:

Don’t reach for that next Dot, it’s a trap!

4. Chick-O Stick

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Chick-O Sticks aren’t nearly as bad as they look. The primary flavor is peanut butter with a bit of coconut mixed in and a texture that is nearly identical to the inside of a Butterfinger.

Having said that, if you want to experience these flavors in harmony, you can just get a Butterfinger. Yes, you lose coconut, but you get chocolate, which pairs better with peanut butter. Most children are going to look at this near-ancient candy and just be confused. It doesn’t try to appeal in any way visually, it doesn’t look appetizing, it frankly looks pretty gross.

The Bottom Line:

Don’t be surprised if whoever you give this candy to throws it back at you in disgust and confusion.

3. Candy Corn

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Candy Corn is one of those polarizing candies that people either love or hate and I’m not sure why. You should hate Candy Corn. It’s the only proper way to feel about this weird vanilla and caramel-flavored candy.

Candy Corn is more decorative than anything. It’s a candy that visually telegraphs “it’s fall,” and that’s about all it’s good for.

The Bottom Line:

Candy Corn is awful and the people who like it are weirdos.

2. Good & Plenty

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Name one kid who likes licorice. Hell, I have a hard enough time finding adults who like it. Licorice is a weirdo old person candy that is exclusively for the type of people who get excited about saltwater taffy.

The Bottom Line:

More like Bad & Plenty. You’ll have plenty because every time you ask someone if they want some they’ll say “f*ck no.” That’s altogether too strong of an emotion to express over rejecting candy but… that’s how bad this is.

1. Necco Wafers

How Many Eggs Will Hit Your House?

Why It’s Awful

Necco Wafers are a popular choice for Worst Candy Of All Time and for good reason. This stuff is terrible.

You may not be aware but sometime in 2018 Necco Wafers were discontinued only to return in 2020. My only question is: why? Who wanted this candy back? Who is it for?

If you forced me to choose between eating Necco Wafers and Tums, I would go for the Tums every time. Do you realize how strange that is? Tums isn’t candy — in fact, eating excessive amounts of antacids can give you some serious stomach issues. Still, I’d rather risk that than eat Necco Wafers.

This awful chalky candy also features the worst set of flavors of all time: licorice, lemon, cinnamon, chocolate, wintergreen, orange, clove, and lime. Who signed off on this?

The Bottom Line:

Please find me a living human who actually likes Necco Wafers, I have a million questions for them.

Doja Cat made “Agora Hills” one of the singles from her recent album, Scarlet. In the song, she discusses her romantic feelings for a lover and how she just wants to show them off. Doja also rejects any outside thoughts because of how well she’s being treated.

And while she hasn’t spoken directly about the song’s meaning, her lyrics still make the intentions quite clear.

“Be my security, it’s your therapy / With you, I ain’t holding sh*t back / When I need my space, you give that / When he broke my heart, you fixed that,” she says. “With a long walk on the beach / Love it when they honk-honk on the street (beep) / When they see us zoom by in the Jeep (yeah) / We a whole damn joint, we a energy.”

Still, fans on Reddit’s Doja Cat subreddit were left wondering about the meaning behind the video, as one poster felt it didn’t quite connect to building an album narrative like “Paint The Town Red” and “Demons” did.

Commenters responded with their own interpretations of her “Agora Hills” visual, with one suggesting she was being “reborn” as “the new Doja” and another wondering if it references an anime.

Many of the most explosive details in Britney Spears‘ new memoir, The Woman in Me, revolve around Justin Timberlake. The pop stars, who met on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, started dating in 1999. They broke up three years later after he reportedly called things off with a two-word text. During their time together, Spears claims that the NSYNC member cheated on her with an unnamed celebrity. She also wrote that he encouraged her to get an abortion, but “if it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it.”

While Timberlake and Spears were dating, NSYNC appeared as themselves on The Simpsons. It’s rare when the guest stars are bigger than the show, but that might have been the case with the season 12 episode “New Kids on the Blecch.” The boy band — Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone — had recently released No Strings Attached, which sold 2.4 million copies in its first weekend of release. It’s a record that would stand until 2015 (Adele: never been on The Simpsons). NSYNC was so popular, even Tom Hanks dropped by their recording session to meet them.

Timberlake, who recorded his lines separately from the rest of the group due to a personal matter, has the most memorable non-“Yvan Eht Nioj” line from the episode: “Word.” He repeats “word” multiple times. Like so:

On the episode’s DVD commentary, a member of The Simpsons team (I can’t tell who; I’m sorry but it’s been awhile since I’ve committed them to the memory, and the all-male voices blend together) shared that Timberlake wasn’t a fan of the joke. He sarcastically but politely let them know that “he would never in a million years say ‘word.’” The lil’ stinkers on The Simpsons may or may not have promised they wouldn’t use it, but they had it on tape, “so when we were putting the track together, it just seemed funny to me to keep using it over and over again at the end of all his lines.”

Word.

Kim Kardashian’s recent birthday party raised some eyebrows. Kardashian shared a gallery of photos from the event on October 22 and onlookers immediately noticed the presence of Ivanka Trump. Commenters wondered what the heck Donald Trump’s daughter was doing there, while Jason Isbell took the opportunity to look back at a run-in (well, avoided run-in) he had with the former Trump administration advisor.

In response to a tweet about a New York Times story on Ivanka at the Kardashian party, Isbell recalled seeing Ivanka and her “goofy cowgirl clothes” at a festival one time, writing, “Ran into her at a music fest the week her dad’s house got raided by the FBI. Goofy cowgirl clothes. Thank God a storm came up and she left before we went on. She walked toward me backstage- I turned and walked away. Some artists were VERY friendly with her though. We saw that.”

The FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago took place on August 8, 2022, and Isbell performed at Wildlands Festival in Big Sky, Montana a few days later on August 12. So, it would seem that’s the fest he’s talking about here.

Isbell, meanwhile, is fleshing out his IMDb page with an acting role in Killers Of The Flower Moon.

When you think of Seth Rogen you, well you think of a guy living his best life, smoking up and selling his pottery while, at the same time, presiding over an entertainment empire. Also, you think about Knocked Up, This Is The End, Superbad… I could go on. Dude’s affable everymanchild persona has made him the comedy movie icon of this century.

While Charlize Theron isn’t presently selling homemade ashtrays, she’s got her own long list of producer credits and profiles as an icon of a similar level, just in a couple of different genres, winning an Oscar for her role in Monster, a nomination for her work in Bombshell and North Country, and accolades for Tully and Young Adult. Oh, and she’s a legendary action star for her performances in Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, and the last two entries in the Fast & Furious series. But the one film that these two have in common is one that might not jump to mind. That is until people started discovering it on Netflix.

Currently occupying a top spot on Netflix’s Top 10 list, 2019’s Long Shot is an under-remembered (despite pulling 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and doing OK at the box office) rom-com from director Jonathan Levine (who also directed Rogen in 50/50 and The Night Before) and writers Liz Hannah and Dan Sterling (who also wrote Rogen’s film, The Interview… you know, the one that almost triggered a nuclear war). While Long Shot doesn’t threaten to destabilize global relations, it is set in the world of politics with Theron playing the Secretary Of State. Supremely accomplished and put together, her character is on an express path to the Presidency before reuniting with Rogen’s somewhat disorderly journalist years after she baby sat him.

While we know where this is going, rom-coms are about the ride, and this one is filled with unconventional twists, some gross out comedy, and the hilarious sight of Theron and Rogen on ecstasy. Their chemistry is the headline, though. As mismatched characters who find comfort in what they unlock in each other and in exiting their respective comfort zones, this pairing feels right and you wind up rooting for them when the inevitable rough patch appears.

Long Shot is fun, but it’s also a reminder that these two should be in more rom-coms, preferably together. For now, though, we definitely recommend streaming Long Shot on Netflix.
