Joe Jonas Joked About Harry Styles’ Viral ‘It Feels Like A Movie’ Quote In A Hilarious New Video

Joe Jonas, as part of the promotion for the forthcoming Jonas Brothers album, took to TikTok to share a truly hilarious new video that references Harry Styles’ chaotic press tour for Don’t Worry Darling last year — which included the questionable Spitgate.

For those who don’t remember, Styles also notoriously had a viral answer during a Q&A for the movie at the Venice Film Festival.

“My favorite thing about the movie is, like, it feels like a movie,” Joe lip-syncs to a TikTok sound of Styles’ quote, as he puts on a pair of sunglasses and wears a hat reading “Here comes trouble.”

By the way, the album THE ALBUM drops May 12th

Despite the joke, Jonas also used the time to poke fun at him and his brothers, who gave their album the straightforward title The Album (not to be confused with Boygenius’ The Record, which drops this month). “My favorite thing about THE ALBUM is it feels like an album,” he captioned the video.

After Styles’ response made the internet rounds, his co-star, Chris Pine, came to his defense — noting that it was one of his few press events for acting.

“Sometimes when you’re doing these press things, your brain gets befuddled and you start speaking gibberish,” Pine said, according to Billboard. “We had a joke: ‘It’s just words, man.’”

‘Mother’ Sarah Michelle Gellar Fondly Recalls When ‘Father’ Pedro Pascal Was On ‘Buffy’

Pedro Pascal is TV’s favorite father figure, thanks to his roles on The Last of Us and The Mandalorian. But before he was daddy for, uh, other reasons, he was in the season four premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Eddie, a fresh-faced University of California, Sunnydale student. And vampire.

Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar celebrated the return of The Mandalorian with a photo of her and Pascal. “When #Mother met #Father,” she wrote.

“What I just found out — which I am very excited about, and I can’t wait to get my phone back so that I can look it up myself — is that Sarah Michelle Gellar remembers me,” Pascal told Access Hollywood about SMG’s Instagram post. “I remember every moment of shooting that episode, as brief as it was, she was such a kind scene partner and we had the best time.”

The Last of Us actor also remembers that “she had ice cream in her trailer, and she gave me some. She went back to her trailer, she got me some ice cream and she shared, because it was a night shoot, it was in the middle of the night, and we were on the UCLA campus.” He added, “She was incredibly kind. She taught me how to use a sandbag to hit my mark. She was the best.”

I bet the guy who played the bloater is equally effusive about Pascal.

Spitgate Is Dead: Chris Pine Finally Offered A Direct Response To The Harry Styles ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Situation

Harry Styles has done a disgusting thing or two since entering the public eye — the Grammy Award winner recently participated in the Australian tradition of drinking alcohol from his shoe during his Love On Tour. However, spitting on Don’t Worry Darling co-star Chris Pine isn’t one of them.

The Don’t Worry Darling spitgate scandal was, at one point, a trending topic on social media. Even actor Nick Kroll chimed in on the conversation while visiting The Tonight Show. However, now Pine is clearing the air about what really happened.

Appearing on Esquire’s video segment Explain This, Pine puts it plainly, “Harry did not spit on me.”

Pine went on to clarify further, stating, “Harry is a very kind guy. I think Harry leaned down and said, ‘It’s just words isn’t it?’ We had this little joke. We were all jet-lagged and trying to answer questions, and sometimes when you’re doing these press things, your brain goes befuddled, and you start speaking gibberish, so we had a joke: ‘It’s just words.’”

Styles has been embarrassed in the public eye in the past thanks to a nearly disastrous wardrobe malfunction but at least the stigma of spitgate can be put behind him.

Why smart people doubt themselves and the ill-informed think they know more than they really do

A viral video on YouTube by author Mark Manson (“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k”) explains a fundamental aspect of psychology that significantly affects how we view ourselves and others.

The concept is a cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which states that people who know a lot about something tend to underestimate their expertise on a subject, whereas those who know little about a subject think they know much more than they actually do.


Manson puts it simply in the video: “The idiot thinks he knows everything because he literally doesn’t have enough knowledge to know better. Meanwhile, the expert thinks he knows nothing because he is so aware of all the ways in which he may be wrong.”

Warning: This video contains strong language.

The fact that those who aren’t experts can be more confident in their opinions than those who know what they’re talking about can cause a whole host of problems. It encourages people with ill-informed ideas and prevents those with real solutions to life’s issues from speaking up.

It’s also a chilling reminder that it can be challenging to change others’ minds because they don’t know what they don’t know. The solution? Manson says that knowing about our cognitive bias is a reminder to be less egotistical about our beliefs because we’re wired to unintentionally fool ourselves.

“Any sense of false certainty is really just gonna cause more pain than necessary,” Manson says. “I think that the Dunning-Kruger effect teaches us to be more humble.”

Broccoli City Festival’s 2023 Lineup Includes Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, And Lil Uzi Vert

Broccoli City Festival has long been one of Washington, DC’s premiere music festivals, highlighting both local talent and rising stars of the wider music world since its inception in 2013. This year’s lineup continues that tradition, including headliners Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, and Lil Uzi Vert.

Outside of the headliners, the 2023 edition of the Broccoli City Festival also includes Afropop breakouts Asake and Rema, hip-hop it-girls like City Girls, GloRilla, Ice Spice, and Lola Brooke, and R&B standouts Coco Jones and Mariah The Scientist. Naturally, local acts like Fat Trel, Backyard Band, UCB, and more will also appear, with a battle of the bands highlighting the regional go-go sound.

The festival is set to take place on July 15th and 16th at the RFK Festival Grounds in Washington, DC. Tickets and more information can be found here.

Last year’s festival was headlined by Ari Lennox and Summer Walker, with appearances from 21 Savage, Don Toliver, Jeezy, Lil Durk, Masego, Tems, and Wizkid. However, it was also struck by controversy when Wale, widely considered the patron saint of DC hip-hop, declared he was pulling out of the show shortly after its lineup was announced due to feeling “disrespected” by his low placement on the flyer. However, the dispute was quickly resolved, with the flyer being updated to include “and friends” to reflect the outreach he does for local acts.

The Weeknd Reportedly Became Less Hands-On With ‘The Idol’ After His HBO Show Had A Major Change In Direction

In a new piece from Rolling Stone, anonymous members of the cast and crew of Sam Levinson and The Weeknd’s forthcoming HBO show, The Idol, opened up about the reportedly toxic work environment that spiraled out of control.

The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) both starred and co-created the show. However, it was originally set to be directed by Amy Seimetz before she left the show — and Levinson (Euphoria) took over in her place. This is reportedly when the chaos started, resulting in an overhaul of Seimetz’s direction and shoots.

“It was like the Weeknd wanted one show that was all about him — Sam was on board with that,” a source shared. However, they also faced alleged difficulty with Tesfaye’s schedule as a musician, causing him to be less hands-on: “It was really frustrating because they were working so hard to make it possible to shoot and be released with his concert or whatever his timeline was [and] it all got thrown out the window.”

The piece goes on to note that three crew members claim that despite Tesfaye’s writing credits on the series, he didn’t contribute much to scripts during the reshoots.

Last April, there was also a Deadline report that Tesfaye felt the show was focusing too much on his co-star, Lily Rose-Depp, as he thought it had too much of a “female perspective.”

The 25 Best Movies On Paramount+ Right Now (March 2023)

Okay, the secret is out: Paramount+ has one of the best libraries of film out of all the many streaming services, making it easier than ever to have more options on what to watch.

No matter the circumstances or mood, you’re guaranteed to find something decent, maybe even a few masterpieces, because some of the best movies are on Paramount Plus. It boasts a catalog including Paramount films, A24 films, and more. So, here’s our selection of the best Paramount Plus movies right now:

Last updated on March 1, 2023

1. Top Gun/Top Gun: Maverick

Year: 1986, 2022
Starring: Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Miles Teller, Glenn Powell
Genre: Action
Rating: PG, PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 50 minutes, 2 hours 11 minutes
Director: Tony Scott, Joseph Kosinski
Trailer: Watch here

It is not at all hyperbolic to say that Top Gun and (especially) its sequel Top Gun: Maverick are cinematic miracles. Even if you’re not into planes or military propaganda or both, both films — the sequel being the stronger of the two — are significant to their respective years’, and respective decades’ pop culture. The original film embodies the ’80s in its songs, costumes and overall cheese and broke new ground for what action movies could do and be. The film also cemented Tom Cruise as an action star who could lead any kind of movie with ease and unprecedented physical commitment. For Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise made sure it could not be done without the proper technology, training, and cast: the actors in the film playing pilots, even those in supporting roles, went through flight training to prepare. The film was a box office hit and it also marked the first truly significant theatrical release since the pandemic, bringing many people back to the cinemas for a good, fun time after a long, sad break.

Year: 2013
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Rating: R
Runtime: 3 hours
Director: Martin Scorsese

It’s the performance that should have made Leonardo DiCaprio the should have Oscar Award-winning actor he is today. After a series of dramatic collaborations in the aughts including The Aviator, Gangs of New York, and Shutter Island, Scorsese and DiCaprio loosen up a little in the strongest entry to their little series. DiCaprio, who often chooses extremely serious, emotionally demanding roles, applies his signature intensity to a more comedic role in a comedic film with Scorsese’s signature energizing style. In his performance as the disgraced Jordan Belfort, DiCaprio proves he has more range than anyone thought, and the presence of co-star Jonah Hill undoubtedly helped him get there. The Wolf of Wall Street also introduced the world to Margot Robbie, one of the best actors working today and now, a two-time Oscar nominee. DiCaprio and Scorsese reunite ten years later and for the first time since this film in 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

7. Interstellar

Genre: Sci-fi, Drama
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours 49 minutes
Director: Christopher Nolan

A team of researchers is sent to space to enter a wormhole and explore three different planets in a different galaxy to discover which one is habitable. Matthew McConaughey delivers the most intimate performance of his career as a NASA pilot turned farmer who goes on the mission. The movie will leave you confused and wondering how time works, but that was probably Nolan’s intention.

Year: 2021
Starring: Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Pen, Bradley Cooper
Genre: Drama
Rating: R
Runtime: 2 hours, 34 minutes

Licorice Pizza is the most Paul Thomas Anderson film Paul Thomas Anderson has ever made: it’s set in California in the 70s and has an impressive ensemble cast. The film stars Cooper Hoffman, son of frequent PTA collaborator Philip Seymour Hoffman as Gary, a teenager, and actor who gets into waterbed sales. He meets Alana, played by Alana Haim of the band Haim, who is feeling a bit mid-20s lost. It’s a coming-of-age story for them both and a bit of a love story as they begin to learn and appreciate one another. What the film lacks in plot, it makes up for with slow but in-depth character development, including a small role played by Bradley Cooper.

Halsey Made Her Paris Fashion Week Runway Debut With A Powerful, Goth Rocker Look For Pressiat

Halsey made her runway debut at this year’s Paris Fashion Week by walking in the Pressiat show. Wearing in a lacy black dress with fun cutouts, she accessorized the outfit with a spiky bracelet and some rockstar-inspired eye makeup.

“I walked PFW for the first time today with @pressiat_ and it was terrifying and amazing!!!!” Halsey captioned the slideshow of pics. “Thank you Vincent for having me, and congratulations to you and team on such a stunning collection and iconic show!”

The pop star has worked with Pressiat previously, as the fashion brand styled Halsey in their FW22 skirt and corset for the 2022 Grammy Awards. The look gave a similar gothic energy.

Post-runway, it also seems Halsey is still soaking in the Parisian vibes. In another new Instagram post, they put on a blonde wig and a leather jumpsuit for some truly fiery pics outside of a sex shop and posing on a motorcycle, Barb Wire style. “Nous allons la monter,” they captioned, which translates to, “We’re going to ride it.”

Fans also thought it was giving the vibes of another movie set in the City Of Lights, as one commented on Instagram, “OKAAAAAY IRMA VEP,” referencing the 1996 film.

Travis Scott Was Accused Of An Assault At A New York Club That Damaged $12K Of Equipment

Travis Scott spent the past year laying low in the wake of the deaths at his most recent Astroworld Festival, but has been slowly edging his way back into the spotlight. He’s booked a number of headlining festival sets — mainly at Rolling Loud’s various world stops — but it looks like he’s back in the headlines again in a negative way too.

According to TMZ, Travis has been accused of assault by the sound engineer of New York City nightclub Nebula, who says the Houston rapper punched him before trashing a bunch of equipment. The alleged victim says that after an initial disagreement, Scott punched him in the left side of his face and then damaged some speakers and video screens — about $12,000 worth of damage.

Even before the Astroworld disaster, Travis Scott has had a history of legal troubles from some of his over-the-top behavior. In 2015, he was arrested for disorderly conduct after telling fans at Lollapalooza to jump the barricades in front of the stage. Another arrest for inciting a riot came in 2017 after a show in Arkansas that got a little too rowdy. This was after a prior arrest for the same offense earlier that year for encouraging a fan at a New York show to jump from a balcony, injuring themselves in the process.

Travis was in New York Tuesday night (February 28) to support his Cactus Jack artist Don Toliver at a concert. His own next show will be this weekend at — where else? — Rolling Loud Los Angeles.
