Woody Harrelson wrote a hilarious little poem for his viral baby doppelgänger

We can all get a little fascinated by doppelgängers and it’s fun to find people who look alike. But what do you do when your baby girl looks uncannily like a famous middle-aged man?

Mom Dani Grier Mulvenna shared a photo of her infant daughter Cora side by side with a photo of Woody Harrelson on Twitter, with the caption “Ok but how does our daughter look like Woody Harrelson.” The resemblance truly is remarkable, and the tweet quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes, shares and replies.


Naturally, the jokes about Harrelson being the baby’s secret father came next, but then Harrelson himself got wind of it.

The actor shared a screenshot of Mulvenna’s tweet on his Instagram page and included a delightful little poem he called “Ode to Cora.”

You’re an adorable child
Flattered to be compared
You have a wonderful smile
I just wish I had your hair

How adorable and wholesome is that? Not only did he acknowledge his look-alike, but he even made a self-deprecating joke about his receding hairline.

People gushed in the comments and Mulvenna shared how tickled her daughter will be someday by the connection.

“You’ve made our day ❤️ can’t wait to show her this when she’s older, you have another fan for life xxx,” she wrote.

Mulvenna also shared on Twitter that her daughter doesn’t always look like Woody Harrelson, but when she does, she really does.

What a cutie. What’s hilarious is that sweet little Cora has no clue about any of this excitement and she won’t for many more years. What a fun story her parents will be able to share with her.

Social media has created a world where people can connect in ways they never would have before. When these platforms are so often used for negative means, it’s lovely to see something so sweet and pure come out of them.

Unearthed BBC interview features two Victorian-era women discussing being teens in the 1800s

There remains some mystery around what life was like in the 1800s, especially for teens. Most people alive today were not around in the Victorian era when the technologies now deemed old-fashioned were a novelty. In this rediscovered 1970s clip from the BBC, two elderly women reminisce about what it was like being teenagers during a time when the horse and buggy was still the fastest way to get around.


While cars were just around the corner from being the common mode of transportation toward the end of the 19th century, it’s pretty wild to imagine what these women experienced. Frances “Effy” Jones explained how, at age 17, she was encouraged by her brother to check out this new machine in a storefront window. Turns out that machine was a typewriter and, after being trained on how to use it, Jones would sit in the store window typing while people outside gathered to watch. Before long, classes began popping up for women to learn how to use a typewriter, starting a new movement for women of that era.

The second woman, Berta Ruck, told the BBC that she would get into a bit of trouble at boarding school for drawing instead of completing school work. This talent took Ruck to art school in London where she rode buses around town, attempting to avoid mud getting on her long skirt. But the woman explained that it never worked and she would spend hours brushing the mud from her skirt before wearing it out again. I’m sure you’re thinking, buses? They weren’t the buses we would see nowadays. These were double-decker horse-pulled carriages.

I know, that’s hard to imagine. That’s why you should check out the video below:

Cardi B, Offset, And Kulture’s ‘Baby Shark’ Characters Will Return In ‘Baby Shark’s Big Movie’

I hope you’re not tired of doing the “Seaweed Sway” yet, because Baby Shark’s Big Movie is coming to Paramount + and Sharki B — aka Cardi B — is coming along for the ride. Naturally, Cardi will reprise her Baby Shark’s Big Show! character along with her husband Offshark (Offset), and daughter Kulture Shark (Kulture). And hey, since they’ve got a new aquatically-named rugrat running around, it looks like Wave is also included in the cast list.

Cardi excitedly shared the news on Twitter, writing, “Happy to announce that me & my family will be in the BABY SHARKS BIG MOVIE!!!!!” Included in the casting announcement are other stars like Ashley Tisdale, Lance Bass (whose name is already the perfect fish pun), K-pop band Enhypen, Saturday Night Live regulars Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman, and comedian Aparna Nancherla.

Cardi, Offset, and Kulture first guest-starred on Baby Shark’s Big Show! last spring, when they appeared as animated, brightly-colored versions of themselves to perform a new song by Cardi, “The Seaweed Sway.” The titular protagnist danced with Sharki B and her family during a concert in the episode, showing off the accompanying dance. Fun fact: In Korea, where Baby Shark originates, Sharki B is played by K-pop star CL.

According to People:

The movie will follow Baby Shark and his family as they move to Chomp City, the big city of sharks. Not only will Baby Shark be forced to adjust to life without his best friend William nearby, but he’ll also encounter an evil pop starfish who plans to steal his gift of song in order to dominate all underwater music. Baby Shark has to embark on a mission to break her spell to restore harmony to the seas.

Baby Shark’s Big Movie is set for release during the holiday season.

Polo G Said That Juice WRLD’s Death Pushed Him To Stop Taking Percocets: ‘He Wouldn’t Want Me On That Sh*t’

Juice WRLD‘s death wasn’t just a loss for his family, fans, and friends, but it was also a huge loss for hip-hop as a whole. It was also a warning about the dangers of drug abuse since it was revealed he’d died of an accidental overdose on Oxycodone in late 2019.

Just like Juice WRLD said he was influenced to try drugs by one of his predecessors, his death has become a beacon to his successors. Among them is Juice’s fellow Chicagoan Polo G. In his episode of RapCaviar Presents, which began streaming on Hulu today, Polo recalls his friendship with Juice and how Juice encouraged him to give up taking pills recreationally.

“It made me look at a lot of sh*t differently,” he says. “That made me stop popping Percocets altogether, though. ‘Cause I know he wouldn’t want me on that sh*t.” Even more impactful, though, is that his father followed his example. “Being able to see that and say, ‘Damn, my son can get it together — I need to [as well],” he muses.

Now Polo G spends his spare cash on other distractions, like the iced-out iPhone holder he had turned into a pendant to keep his where everybody else can see it.

RapCaviar Presents is now streaming on Hulu.

The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Trial Somehow Got Even Weirder Thanks To One Of Her Accuser’s Witnesses Blowing Up His Own Story

There are a lot of things that you could be focusing on this week (baseball, Succession, the announcement regarding the immersive Paddington Bear experience, etc) so it’s okay if you are not really sure what going on over there in Utah at Gwyneth Paltrow’s bizarre ski trial. Honestly, it’s okay if you don’t ever know what’s going on with her, she doesn’t seem to know either, but it works for her.

Here is a quick rundown of said case: in 2016, Paltrow was involved in a ski collusion with retired optometrist Terry Sanderson (you would think an optometrist would be able to see fellow skiers coming but maybe that’s why he’s retired). Sanderson says he was left with a traumatic brain injury, broken ribs, and trauma. Sanderson sued Paltrow, who is countersuing for $1, a move Taylor Swift made famous at her 2017 trial.

Now, thanks to science and all that jazz, a witness to the event insists that there was no way Paltrow hit Sanderson the way he claims. Dr. Richard Boehme, a neurologist who is Sanderson’s witness (!), spoke via Zoom: “The skier that hit him from behind would have to be going in excess of 50 or 60 miles an hour, which I think is highly unlikely unless we’re dealing with an Olympic downhill skier.” This begs the question: is Academy Award-winning actress and former Glee guest star Gwyneth Paltrow an Olympic-level skier? No, but it was nice to pose the question either way.

It seems like Paltrow’s trial will be wrapping up shortly, but not before various witnesses went on the stand and brought up everything from QAnon to stick figure art. Should more celebrities involve themselves in low-stakes trials? Yes! Bring on the mild inconvenience of a traffic violation or a petty neighborhood argument. We want modest court outfits and sketchy witnesses! This is what the judicial system is for!

Welcome to Style Watch, our monthly roundup of the best streetwear and apparel to hit the internet.

This makes putting together an outfit an absolute pain. Do you ditch the layers or bundle up? Who knows!

Luckily, our favorite brands have our back with a number of early Spring collections that keep things relatively warm. This week we have the latest from NYC label NOAH, who has just teamed up with Lavenham for a new take on the brand’s legendary Denham jacket, a Supreme and the North Face linkup, a new collection from Fear of God, and two trail-ready collections from The North Face NSE and Carhartt-WIP.

Ben Sherman has teamed up with indie rockers The Sherlocks as part of the brands Global Artist Foundry program for a new collection of graphic t-shirts, jacquard knit button-downs, fitted polo shirts, Harrington jackets, trousers, and cardigans.

The collection features an indie rock meets posh aesthetic in a bright spring color palette. Our favorite piece from the collection in our opinion is the Signature Harrington Jacket, which featured embroidered branding at the breast, a two-button collar, check body lining, and rubbed cuffs and hem in 10 different colorways.

In a fashion climate that currently favors baggy silhouettes, it’s nice to see the people who like tighter more streamlined fits get a collection that speaks to them!

Carhartt-WIP’s latest spring-summer collection will have you all geared up for your outdoor adventures. The collection consists of jackets, parkas, pants, and canvas pieces in loose utilitarian fits that are equal parts function and fashion. The Wynton jacket and Parka sport a midweight cotton ripstop build with reversible pop colors, and pieces like the Idaho jacket and pants bring in the reflective details for better outdoor visibility.

The collection’s palette consists of three colors including violet, stone, and storm blue, and was inspired by the psychedelic glow of lumen flower prints.

The North Face

If Carharrt-WIP’s latest Trail collection is a bit too muted and utilitarian for you, take a trip back to the late ‘90s early ’00s with The North Face’s latest NSE drop. The collection, which features Carduelis Jackets, track trousers, graphic t-shirts, backpacks, and camp slides, has an almost sickeningly bright color palette of neon greens and purples for a utilitarian collection that looks ready for both the rave and a morning hike.

Or better yet, wear it out to the night hike and have a rave in the woods! The latest NSE collection is unfortunately men’s style only as of now.

Pacsun is reaching back even further than the North Face updating styles from the ‘80s for its latest fitness culture-inspired activewear line, Pac 1980.

The line sports modern touchstones like sweat-wicking and quick dry technology, and light stretchy fabrics with classic silhouettes from the ‘80s like high-waisted leggings, circle skirts and dresses, and onesies and cropped crew necks, giving you that vintage look at a low price.

The fabrics in the collection, which the brand is calling PAC WHISPER and PAC GLIDE, are lightweight and soft, while still offering that activewear support you need. The brand plans to add another line of fabrics as the collection grows known as PAC MOVE, which will be fit for all-day wear.

Highlights from the collection include the Speedwalker Onesie, Raw Hem Cropped Crew Neck, and Pac Glide Circle Dress.

Uniqlo

London-based brand JW Anderson is bringing prep back! Teaming up with UNIQLO, the brand’s spring-summer 2023 collection combines the UK school uniform aesthetic with an injection of modern athleisure, translating the classic look through a baggy comfort-focused lens. If you think those two things sound at odds with one another, it’s because they do. And that’s kind of what makes the new collection so vital.

Featuring men’s, women’s, and unisex essentials, the collection sports wide-legged jeans and khakis, boxy oversized button-ups, cable knit cardigans, striped polos, tees, and other essentials adorned with embossed JW Anderson branding. It’s like looking at the costume design for a Wes Anderson film if Wes Anderson grew up in Gen Z.

EDITOR’S PICK: ROARK Journey Shirt

STyle Watch
ROARK

Look, this shouldn’t take much convincing. Hawaiian floral shirts are in… BUT (and it’s a big but): If you are anything less than Leo-in-Romeo+Juliet-level lean, you can very quickly look like #TommyBahamaDorkDad. No one wants to look like that guy. And as a guy who is a tad thicc and has sent a good few floral shirts to Goodwill, let me tell you — it happens a lot.

It looks cool in a lookbook and then when you wear it you’re suddenly Tuddy from Goodfellas.

That’s why I like ROARK’s new floral and coral shirts so much — many of them are in black, which is slimming. The colors pop and the energy is there but you don’t feel like a 65-year-old guy from Brooklyn on vacation in Maui. Plus they’re slim-fitting, which amplifies the effect.

All that aside, ROARK’s designs are cool and their colors are the perfect balance of fun without being obtrusive. ‘Nuff said.

Pick up the ROARK Journey Shirt at ROARK’s website.

EDITOR’S PICK: IPD Maverick Cord Jacket

Style Watch
IPD Surf

Okay, I know this pick from an LA-based editor is kinda cliche — because LA Cool Guy is deep in his California cowboy phase…

But still, I consider this jacket a spring staple. It’s so functional for post-surf or a night out after work. It’s cozy but plays well with a white tee. You could see it at a festival or the farmer’s market. Works with flip-flops and boots. (Dammit, I can’t stop LA Cool Girl’s intentionally disaffected voice playing in my head as I type!).

Anyway, this is a slam dunk and really shouldn’t take much explaining: Tan corduroy and wool lining for spring. If you can’t look stylish in this, you’re struggling.

Phoebe Bridgers Discussed Supposed Fans Who ‘F*cking Bullied’ Her Before Her Dad’s Funeral And Didn’t Hold Back

Earlier this year, Phoebe Bridgers shared a throwback photo of her father to mourn his death. The loss of a parent is obviously a challenging thing to deal with, but now Bridgers has revealed that at the time, she was also dealing with bullying from supposed fans of hers. She didn’t mince words while talking about it, either.

In a recent Boygenius interview with Them, Bridgers said, “I’m coming from a place of literally — I’m feeling it in my body as I’m saying it, but — people with my picture as their Twitter picture, who claim to like my music, f*cking bullied me at the airport on the way to my father’s funeral this year.”

After some urging from Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, Bridgers continued:

“If you’re a kid and the internet somehow taught you that that’s an OK thing to do, then of course I hate capitalism and everything that led you to believe that it’s okay to do that. I, at one of the lowest points of my life, saw people who claim to love me f*cking dehumanize me and shame me and f*cking bully me on the way to my dad’s wake.

It’s not like they didn’t know my dad just died. A lot of the top comments [were] like, ‘Hey, her dad just died, what are you guys doing?’ [If you harass me with my face as your profile picture,] I f*cking hate you, and I hope you grow the f*ck up.”

This comes after she told Rolling Stone earlier this year, “I want to normalize talking sh*t about fans. There’s a way to [be a fan] without filming me without my permission behind the back of my head, chasing me down the street.”

Moneybagg Yo’s ‘Uproxx Sessions’ Performance Of ‘Quickie’ Will Get In The Mood… For New Music

Moneybagg Yo is one of the hottest names in hip-hop music. But it is important to note that the Memphis rapper’s rise to the top wasn’t overnight, nor was it a fast climb. However, that’s not the case when it comes to his tussles in the sheets. On his raunchy track “Quickie,” the musician makes it abundantly clear that he’s not opposed to a lighting round of lovemaking.

Bagg might play around with the toxic love jokes on social media or on his collaborative track with GloRilla, but he’s a loverboy at heart. On “Quickie” he raps, “Told her, ‘Make a wish’ / ’11:11,’ what she tweeted, let me be your genie / Sneaky linkin’, we don’t tell it (uh) / Kissin’, touchin’, breathin’ heavy (uh) / Foreplay session got you ready (go) / Beat it, but I don’t support domestic (no).”

Bagg brought that same swagged-out energy to his UPROXX Sessions performance of the fan-favorite track. Be sure to keep a lookout for his forthcoming album, Hard To Love, set to be released soon.

Watch Moneybagg Yo’s UPROXX Sessions performance of “Quickie” above.

UPROXX Sessions is Uproxx’s performance show featuring the hottest up-and-coming acts you should keep an eye on. Featuring creative direction from LA promotion collective, Ham On Everything, and taking place on our “bathroom” set designed and painted by Julian Gross, UPROXX Sessions is a showcase of some of our favorite performers, who just might soon be yours, too.

Rosie Perez Reveals A Former Agent Tried To Convince Her To Get A Nose Job And Dye Her Hair To ‘Get More Jobs’

It’s not uncommon for women to call out Hollywood’s incessant white-washing. In fact, it’s important! With the obvious lack of opportunities in the industry and many minority-led projects getting the axe, more and more actresses are speaking out against the lack of diversity in Hollywood.

Oscar-nominated actress Rosie Perez, who has starred in classic films like It Could Happen To You, Fearless, and the hit stoner comedy Pineapple Express, says that the industry still has a lot of work to do when it comes to diversity.

Perez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, told Variety about a time she was told by her then-agent that she needed to dye her hair and get a nose job in order to make it as an actor. She explained, “I don’t want her to be canceled, but she told me that if I dyed my hair blond and got a nose job, ‘I can get you more jobs. Because you’re not Black.’ I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘Oh, my goodness. Like, thank you, fired,’” she said at the time, before realizing that she didn’t have many other people in her corner. “I had nobody. I had no money.”

Luckily, Perez was introduced to fellow actress Jennifer Grey in 1990, who was disgusted by the story and helped the actress secure a new agent. “Jennifer and I clicked instantly,” Perez told the mag. “I haven’t seen that woman in ages, but I just think she’s phenomenal. She’s like, ‘I cannot believe how racist this industry is.’ She picks up the phone and calls Jane Berliner at CAA and says, ‘You need to represent this actress.’” Even though her Matrix audition wasn’t a hit, she was able to keep getting more offers.

Now, Perez is returning to television for her role in season two of Your Honor alongside Bryan Cranston, which is already better than her short-lived role on The View, which she was advised not to talk about. “Let’s just say that what I thought I was there for was supposed to be one kind of a thing, which excited me, and then when I got there, that’s not what it was,” the actress said. To be fair, The View is never what you think it’s going to be.
