While Timothée Chalamet might now be a fully-fledge movie star, renowned for his subdued performances and prominent bone structure, long before he ever starred alongside Saoirse Ronan he was sharing the spotlight with a different co-star: an Xbox 360 controller. Back in 2010, Chalamet entertained people not on the big screen but on his YouTube channel, ModdedController360, where he shared the custom paint jobs he did on his Xbox 360 controllers. While the actor only uploaded three videos showcasing his artistic talents, the channel currently has over 17,000 followers — though we suspect him revealing his channel name in a recent interviewmight have something to do with that.
In the interview with internet personality Nate Hill, Chalamet and his Dune co-star Zendaya sat down with the YouTuber to talk about their new Fortnite skins and show off their impressive gameplay skills. However, one thing led to another and during the interview Chalamet let it slip that he and gaming go way back, casually admitting to Hill that he once had a YouTube channel that some dedicated fans had even stumbled upon despite his face not appearing in any of the videos.
“I had a YouTube channel people found,” Chalamet said. “It’s YouTube dot com back-slash ‘ModdedController360. And I used to paint-mod controllers.”
Despite Chalamet only uploading three videos during his brief career as a YouTuber, each one of them is truly something special, with the video of Chalamet showing off his “nice” and “sexy” red tiger print design being particularly delightful.
In addition to the red tiger-striped controller, Chalamet also designed a blue and sliver controller as well as a Christmas-themed green and red one that “works perfectly” and “is not for sale.” While in his videos Chalamet urged viewers to comment what colors he should use next, the comments have, unsurprisingly, since been turned off.
Unfortunately, Chalamet’s days of designing and potentially selling Xbox 360 controllers have come to a close. However, much less unfortunately, the young star is pretty consistently blowing fans away with his acting chops and is making a real name for himself among Hollywood’s best and brightest. You can catch Chalamet in both Dune and Wes Anderson’s newest film, The French Dispatch, in theaters now. Or on his YouTube channel.
Unlike another Josh Schwartz show, there are no current plans to reboot The O.C. Much of the cast (including top-five TV dad / top-one eyebrow haver Peter Gallagher) is game, but as the creator said during the 2020 Television Critics Association press tour, “For us, that was a very, very singular story. We felt like we completed that tale by the end.”
Adam Brody, who played Seth Cohen, doesn’t think a reboot would even work in the 2020s.
“I kind of don’t think it can be done because socially we’re in a different place and we’re in a more conscious place,” he told co-stars Rachel Bilson (Summer) and Melinda Clarke (Julie) on the Welcome to the OC, Bitches! podcast. “While The O.C. claims to be — in a similar sense as a Gossip Girl — while it would sort of say it’s a critique, it’s not. It’s a celebration — it’s a celebration of affluence in my opinion.”
Brody continued:
“For me, in a post-Donald Trump America to go, ‘Let’s go back to Orange County,’ I feel like you have to have a real reckoning politically and socially, and is that what people want to see with this show? I don’t know. And is there a way to do both? There is, I suppose, but in my eyes, I probably want to torch it more than the fans would want.”
How about this as a compromise for The O.C. fans? No reboot, but Seth and Summer get to appear in one Spider-Man movie. It can be Spider-Man: No Way Home or Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 or Venom 3, or whatever. I just want to see those crazy kids share a smooch in the rain while an Oasis cover plays again.

Night Teeth (Netflix film) — Debby Ryan and Lucy Fry play the lead-character vampires of this film, but there are also vampires played by Megan Fox and Sydney Sweeney, so you know what that means: any human in their sights is in big trouble. That includes a college-student-turned-chauffeur, Benny (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.), who’s tasked with driving the two primary vamps around to parties, where they can get their thirst on.

The title of the source material (Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America, the book by Beth Macy) tells you a lot, but this trailer promises an intense ride, and the cast includes Michael Stuhlbarg and Kaitlyn Dever, who’s all over TV now and making Justified‘s Loretta proud here.
I had a Cup Noodles — I still mistakenly say “Cup ‘O Noodles” — just two weeks ago. I was buzzed, it was crazy late, I was in a new city, and I needed a snack. I think that’s how a lot of adults experience Cup Noodles and, as such, it typically hits the spot. It’s not a food I’ve intellectualized much or ever had much brand loyalty for.
But when the chance came to taste and rank the full line, I snatched it. Mostly, to see if Cup Noodles hits me like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese — which I find to be legitimately good, no matter your age — or if I’d grown out of eating the stuff (at least while sober). “My palate is very sophisticated now” (said the guy who recently tested 22 hot dogs), could I still enjoy the stuff?
The answer is “yes.” I found a solid handful that I liked, in fact. Which was a surprise, because I assumed Cup Noodles only had a handful of flavors all together. Discovering that there were actually 17 varieties on the market (plus Top Ramen and various instant “bowls of noodles”) came as something of a shock. I’d signed up for a bigger project than I realized.
Still, I tested them all. There were some stinkers (including one which tasted like poison), a bunch in the middle, and a few absolute gems. The chasm between the horribly putrid and legitimately tasty was so large, in fact, that if you have Cup Noodles in your meal rotation, even if it’s just on drunken nights, you’ll definitely want to know which is which. So I feel like I’m doing a public service here — if I can keep even one person from buying entry #17, I’ve done my job.
Check the full ranking below.
THE ABSOLUTE WORST
18. Cup Noodles — Pumpkin Spice
NISSIN FOODS
This is a terrible idea. I know it’s a stunt. But even as a stunt, it’s horrible. Borderline offensive.
And yes, I know that stunt food is not truly meant to be eaten, it’s meant to get free PR from media companies. Which — when viewed through the right prism after a nonsense explanation by an expert in incoherent #brandspeak — theoretically increases overall awareness and is, therefore, a net positive for the company who made it. I even know that this technique actually worked with Starbucks when they did those dumb neon shakes. A craze to which Uproxx’s food section directly contributed. (Help, I’m being devoured by an ouroboros of my own design!)
But even with all that context, this is putrid. The brainchild of someone who hates food and maybe also… humanity at large?
I ate these soups in batches based on how much water my electric kettle holds and had to taste this one first because its smell was putting me off all five of the other soups I prepped with it. It’s not like “a pumpkin spiced latte with noodles” or even a riff on Elf’s “candy-syrup spaghetti.” As bad as those ideas sound, this is worse.
I think the biggest problem — beyond the entire concept and the very existence of this flavor — is that the ramen noodles have a natural savoriness to them. Perhaps the noodles are made in the same factory as the spices and absorb some flavors by osmosis. Frankly, I don’t want to see how this particular sausage is made. But the result is like a weak-chicken Cup Noodles that then is piled with sugar and cinnamon and — most of all — strange compounds that taste distinctly chemically.
Please note: This is going to be a theme in this ranking. Nissin does sugar in a way that tastes nothing like sugar and everything like a toxic approximation of sugar invented in a lab. They should stick to savory and never try to hit sweet flavor notes at all.
I could go on about all of this. I have more to say. I have jokes and cutting metaphors. Alas, time marches on. We are but finite beings doing our damndest to savor the brief, liminal space between “before birth” and “after death.” Knowing that our time on this mortal coil is but a blink, let us not tarry any longer with such noxious frivolities as this one.
The Bottom Line:
Some 12-year-old is going to make eating this insanely popular on TikTok and make me look like an asshole. There will be a viral challenge and the person who came up with this concept will become a billionaire and buy Uproxx Life just to fire me.
And still, I will not repent: this tastes awful.
But who knows, maybe I just didn’t like it because I didn’t put WHIPPED FUCKING CREAM on it.
I have no understanding of why Cup Noodles would use “chile” here vs. “chili” but the “e” must stand for “experimental chemicals.” This has a very distinct and odd — extremely off-putting — chemical flavor.
It’s not spicy but it is troubling.
The Bottom Line:
From my notes: “I’m… discomfited.” That’s not a reaction you want when tasting soup.
I don’t like sweet chili in general and definitely not sweet chili-flavored consumer packaged goods — which always taste artificially sweet. This entry, from Nissin’s “Stir Fry” line, is no exception to that rule. There’s no actual spice to these noodles but the sweet flavor is a little too strong to be enjoyable and a little too chemical-tasting to feel comfortable eating at all.
That said, the noodles in the Stir Fry series are better than that the standard Cup Noodles noodles.
The Bottom Line:
These are not good. Even for sweet lovers, the reminder that you are ingesting serious chemicals just feels too blatant and distracting.
Once again we’re suffering from the sweet-chemical issue. I cook curries (Indian, Thai, etc.), I eat a lot of curries, I have lived in nations that rely on various curries as pillars of their cuisine, but Cup Noodles Curry does not taste like any curry I’ve ever sampled. It tastes like if a first-year food engineering student who took Chem 1 as a pass-fail course was tasked with making a “curry flavoring” but couldn’t use any plant-derived spice to complete the task.
The Bottom Line:
According to the label, this is the #1 curry-flavored instant ramen in Japan. So… maybe it’s an acquired taste? I personally found it inedible.
This is the OG Cup Noodles. Not the one you remember from your childhood — these noodles predate that. I remember this variety being accessible in the 80s, but chicken and beef were already the standards. Anyway, if you told me this flavor had never been updated, I would 100% believe you. The egg is unsightly and tastes like drywall, the beef (or chicken? pork?) is troublesome in shape, color, and texture, and the shrimp looks almost identical to a plastic shrimp from a child’s play kitchen.
Taken all together, it’s distinctly un-good. And that egg, in particular, is trash.
The Bottom Line:
Nissin has moved on from the Original flavor. You should, too.
I was excited for spice with this flavor but… it’s not here. What is here is a sort of taco-spice season that doesn’t work well with broth or ramen. It’s incongruent and, even more, it’s a light flavoring.
It’s both wrong-seasoned and under-seasoned — not a great combo.
The Bottom Line:
Not spicy. Not well seasoned. Sort of like taco-seasoning flavored ramen. But tasting far worse than that sounds.
Am I justified in being deeply unnerved by these shrimp? They’re minuscule? Where do you find a shrimp this small? Sure, they seem to shrink in dehydration and not re-hydrate very well but they’re definitely weird, right?
NISSIN
As part of my due diligence, I ate that shrimp above and it was fine. Small, obviously — I had to make an effort not to swallow it whole — but its taste was okay. It was hard and had the texture of Lucky Charms marshmallows, but the flavor was fine and tasted akin to real shrimp. The problem is that the broth is also shrimpy in a way that felt significantlyly more artificial.
The bigger issue: it’s one of the lighter broths from the brand, so it’s a little low on flavor.
The Bottom Line:
You can do better. Even if you want a shrimp flavor, you can do better. So why waste time with this?
This is supposed to be “hearty” and I guess the noodles are. But the broth itself tasted weaker than regular chicken — making that the better flavor overall and this irrelevant.
The Bottom Line:
If you’re not the best plain chicken flavor in your instant ramen line, is there even a reason for you to exist? Discuss.
I’m not exactly a fan of “seafood broth.” I like shellfish soups but not fish soups. But I can certainly see the allure to this. Compared to most Cup Noodles flavors, it’s absolutely brimming with ingredients and the crab and clam taste crabby and clammy (I’m sure the crab is artificial but it’s still very passable). Those same elements are also chewy and gummy, which is sort of disconcerting with seafood, but I got over it.
I guess this really comes down to preference. I don’t like this that much, but it is much more seafood-forward than any other cup noodles and there’s certainly nothing offensive about it, like so many of the previous entries. If you’re a lover of seafood broth, I could see this becoming your favorite
The Bottom Line:
Very fish soupy with tons of accouterments, if that sounds tasty to you, I’d recommend this.
This actually doesn’t have the sweetness problem seen in so many of the low-ranking soups (the sweetness is fake, but it’s not overpowering). But it has the overall chicken problem — in that it’s a little underseasoned. That feels crazy to write about something that is so famous for being high in sodium, but here we are.
The Bottom Line:
Ultimately, this is good. But if the Korean Chicken is this one’s sister flavor, that’s significantly better.
This is marginally better than Stir Fry Terriyaki Chicken but not better than regular chicken. What a horrible place to be trapped! Moreover, this is redundant — there are better flavors that hit similar flavor notes still to come, so I can’t imagine what would motivate you to get this.
The Bottom line:
Fine. It’s fine. We’re all fine. Everything’s fine.
This tastes like classic ramen in a cup that I grew up with, chicken flavor (or rather, chicken flavoring flavor) and some nice heartiness. It’s not a revelation, but as a 3 am snack it definitely still works.
The Bottom Line:
Things improve significantly from here, so don’t get this unless you’re feeling nostalgic.
All the cool kids at my school knew that beef Cup Noodles was better than chicken. But chicken sold more and it was what more families seemed to buy in bulk. So there was a beef exclusivity issue when I was growing up.
It was cooler. Rebel ramen.
The Bottom Line:
Memories aside, beef is more savory than the chicken flavor and, therefore, marginally better.
I’m an avowed hater of lime in foods — it’s why I don’t go to Chipotle, where they overuse lime seasoning on freaking everything — and expected to hate this. I literally dreaded tasting it at all. But I have to say, it worked. In fact, it worked really well.
There was some actual spice to this and a nice depth to the broth. Much more depth than the actual shrimp flavor. If there was much lime, I certainly wasn’t put off by it.
The Bottom Line:
Cup Noodles is best when it leans into savory. This is the first flavor I could see myself buying retail when I needed a snack.
There’s a hint of fake sweetness but not as much as teriyaki. What this has — and it’s a literally brilliant call — is flakes of cabbage. They rehydrate nicely and taste real and fresh. The freshest-tasting vegetable in the whole line. And that brightness accents everything wonderfully.
The Bottom Line:
The addition of cabbage in this soup levels it up significantly. You will notice it and be glad it’s there.
3. Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice With Noodles — Korean Spicy Beef
NISSIN FOODS
This has al dente rice! And cabbage! And these long carrot strands that taste like real carrots! And it’s actually spicy! There’s no fake sweetness or strange chemical notes. The broth is deep and savory.
It’s a really good snack.
The Bottom Line:
This works really well. So well that you have to begin to speculate why Nissin even has so many other flavors. Because I know everyone has a different palate, etc. but there is no chance on earth that someone likes the “Chlie” flavor more than this.
Drunk or hungover, this is a win. It’s the spiciest of the flavors and doesn’t suffer from any artificiality issues. Plus it’s got… you guessed it, cabbage! The second best Nissin innovation in my lifetime. If this was at my grocer, I’d buy a dozen today.
The Bottom Line:
This is very good. In fact, it’s so many miles better than the bottom entries that it almost feels bizarre to think that they’re from the same company at all. And with the fact that everything about Nissin labeling — from the spicy scale to the spelling of “chile” — is irregular, I legitimately wonder if some of these aren’t made by completely different third-party vendors.
This is the best Nissin flavor, hands down. It’s the toasted garlic that does it. How could you have 17 varieties and only one featuring that brilliant ingredient? The brand should be doing so many riffs on garlic that it has to buy a few garlic farms. It’s just such a good taste for instant ramen. And these toasted garlic chips taste both real and potent — making the whole soup seem fresher and more complex.
Beyond the garlic, which rules, the chicken is hearty, the big noodles are wonderfully springy, and there’s actually some spice. To be real, I didn’t think there was going to be a flavor that I liked this much. This surprised me by how good it was in precisely the opposite way that pumpkin spice surprised me with how bad it was.
The Bottom Line:
Does it compare with any sort of restaurant Ramen? No. But I have certainly ordered late-night ramens that are only marginally better and cost 1500% more. Certainly this could beat a few late-night fast food bugers in a drunk food face-off.
While we might not have gotten Universal Studio’s “Dark Universe” like we were promised oh-so many years ago, it looks like the studio isn’t letting their monster-filled dreams (nightmares?) die yet. Following their film debut flop, Universal has decided to pivot in a new direction to carry on the legacy of their classic, creepy creatures: video games.
Earlier today, Universal Pictures revealed the first trailer for their upcoming animated four-episode miniseries We Will Be Monsters, a creep-filled and creative collaboration between the studio and Fortnite developer Epic Games (via The Hollywood Reporter). The series follows the Bride of Frankenstein as she embarks on “a globe-trotting quest to rescue fellow Monsters,” and offers a more modern and diverse depiction of Universal’s classic monsters, completely reimagining character’s such as Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, and the Mummy while also taking viewers on a trip to places like Hong Kong, Morocco, Los Angeles and Lagos, Nigeria.
However, the real kicker is that as part of the partnership, each one of the newly designed characters in the show will also be available for gamers to purchase as Fortnite skins following the premiere of the show on October 28 within the game. The first episode is slated to be a part of Fortnite‘s Shortnitemares Festival, and re-envisions the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula. Both the content and release dates of episodes three through four have yet to be announced.
Universal Films Entertainment Group president Abhijay Prakash says We Will Be Monsters is the film studio’s attempt at “evolving and building [the] IP and content for different formats,” and with the growing popularity of video games (and staying power of Fortnite), it’s easy to see why they’re going that route. At the helm of the project is Rick Famuyiwa, the same director behind several episodes of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, and voicing the various monsters are Chemon Theys (the Bride), current Hamilton actor Victory Ndukwe (Frankenstein’s Monster), and Emmy Saheki (the Mummy). The series’ hits Fortnite‘s Shortnitemares Festival on October 28.
JJ Redick’s NBA career came to an end last month when the veteran sharpshooter decided he did not want to pursue a 16th year in the league. Redick has plenty of off-court pursuits to keep him in the public eye, and on Wednesday afternoon, it was announced that he’s adding something else to his to-do list.
Redick is slated to join ESPN as an NBA analyst. He’ll kick things off as a studio analyst on Nov. 3, and according to the Worldwide Leader, Redick will also serve as an in-game analyst on a few occasions.
In a statement, Redick expressed his excitement about the new gig.
“After 15 years in the NBA, I am excited to take what I have learned on the court and be able to provide my insight and strong opinions about the game I love,” Redick said. “I am thrilled to have found a place on the biggest platform in sports, ESPN. I look forward to starting my post-playing career with such an incredible organization.”
Beyond his new television pursuits, Redick has long been a podcaster, as he began hosting shows back in 2015 and now serves as the host of The Old Man and the Three. Additionally, Redick started the company ThreeFourTwo productions in 2020.
Following a prolific college basketball career at Duke that saw him named the consensus national player of the year in 2006, Redick was drafted by the Orlando Magic and had pit stops with the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Dallas Mavericks. For his career, Redick averaged 12.8 points per game and connected on 41.5 percent of his attempts from three.
Unbeknownst to most Americans, B.J. Novak‘s face is apparently splattered all over an assortment of random products all across the globe, and The Office star had no idea until it was happening until recently. In an Instagram Story that’s already been automatically deleted, Novak revealed the unauthorized endorsements, which sent him down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out what the heck was happening. Via E! News:
“Years ago, someone mistakenly put an image of me on a public domain site,” he explained on his Instagram Story on Monday, Oct. 26, “and now apparently I am on products all around the world.”
The actor revealed some of the many items his face is used to advertise, including a rain poncho, electric face shaver, and hair clippers, along with the aforementioned face paint and cologne.
However, despite being used to hawk cologne in Sweden, the actor/writer said he has no intention of stopping his face from shilling products around the globe, for a very simple reason. He is, in his own words, “too amused to do anything about it.”
When he’s not appearing on Uruguayan face paint, Novak can be found working on his latest project, the anthology series The Premise, where he’s served as head writer and even directed two of the episodes. He also roped in some pretty serious talent, including Kaitlyn Dever, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jon Bernthal, and Daniel Dae Kim. But then again who wouldn’t want to work with a world-renowned rain poncho spokesmodel?
New York City-based six-piece collective MICHELLE first burst onto the scene with their 2018 album HEATWAVE. Now armed with cosigns by the likes of Mitski, Gus Dapperton, and Arlo Parks — and the convenience of finally living in the same city — MICHELLE bring their refined sound to their upcoming LP AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS. After previewing the album with their lead single “SYNCOPATE,” MICHELLE return with the soulful number “MESS U MADE.”
Directed by Justin Ongeri, the “MESS U MADE” visual depicts the all the emotion the band has poured into the song. It’s a live recording of them performing the track in a New York City apartment. Vocalists Sofia D’Angelo, Jamee Lockard, Layla Ku, and Emma Lee take over the microphone, delivering each line with gusto while thrashing about the apartment in between choruses.
In a recent interview with V Magazine, MICHELLE described what they hope listeners take away from hearing their AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS album. Band member Julian Kaufman summed it up with the emotion “happiness.” “I do think that as musicians, we have a duty to make people feel better about everything. In a certain way, uplifting people,” Kaufman said. “I hope some of the songs make people feel uplifted and happier, because the world can be so difficult and sometimes a good song really can make you feel happier.”

Hip-hop legends Eminem and Snoop Dogg found themselves in a brief quarrel earlier this year. It all started when Snoop gave his opinion on the 10 greatest MCs off all time, which decisively left Eminem off the list. Em responded with a line from his Music To Be Murdered By – Side B track “Zeus,” and the feud between the two escalated from there. Now that they’ve put their differences behind them and made up as friends and respected equals, Snoop now admits he was “out of pocket” with the whole ordeal.
Snoop recently appeared on The Breakfast Club for a lengthy interview about his new position as executive creative and strategic consultant at Def Jam Records, the recent passing of his mother, and, of course, his beef with Em. While Em did respond to Snoop’s snub with a diss track, the “Zeus” rapper admitted he was more offended by Snoop’s tone more than anything. “I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard ‘cause I’m like, where is this coming from?” Em said about Snoop’s diss. “I just saw you, what the f*ck? It threw me for a loop. I probably could’ve gotten past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement where he said, ‘Far as music I can live without, I can live without that sh*t.’ Now you’re being disrespectful. It just caught me off-guard
In his Breakfast Club interview, Snoop acknowledged that he was “out of pocket” with the way he spoke about Em in public, revealing that he has since apologized to the fellow rapper:
“Man, I love Eminem and the thing is, we love hip-hop so much. We competitive, we battle rappers so that was supposed to trigger that in him. But we brothers and we family so we learn to appreciate each other for what we do and we had our own little conversation about the respect we have for each other and the way we need to talk in public about each other. I feel like I was out of pocket. I apologized to him and I let him know, and I’m just bettering myself. I make mistakes, I ain’t perfect — I’m Snoop Dogg.”

After playing both “Broken Horses” and “Right On Time” this past weekend on the Saturday Night Live episode hosted by Jason Sudeikis, Brandi Carlile took to the The Ellen DeGeneres Show stage this morning to play “You And Me And The Rock” with Lucius. It marked the first live performance of the In These Silent Days song since the album dropped on October 1 and subsequently topped the country and rock charts. Makes you wonder which Grammy categories she’ll be eligible for….? But I digress.
Carlile donned a flowing, silk-coated leisure suit and a gold rose on her lapel. With her blonde locks slicked back, she dominated her falsetto delivery that became more sublime when backed by harmonies from Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius. She’s a dynamite performer and also just finalized the dates for the “Beyond These Silent Days Tour,” which you can see below and also includes a performance at New York City’s Carnegie Hall with Carlile performing Joni Mitchell’s timeless album, Blue, in full.
