Jon Stewart Digs Into The 'Dad Bod' Trend: VIDEO

Jon Stewart Digs Into The 'Dad Bod' Trend: VIDEO

Stewart

Jon Stewart took time last night to look at the trending topic of ‘Dad Bods’, defined as “a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, ‘I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time.'” 

Does this mean men no longer need to lust after the ripped physiques they are so accustomed to seeing on the cover of ‘health’ magazines (see below)? Stewart brought in Daily Show correspondent Kristen Schaal to weigh in. Schaal commented, “It’s finally time that society recognizes that a man’s body changes when he has kids.” But, what about women? Is there such a thing as a ‘Mom Bod’?  Sort of. The ‘Mom Bod’, as Schaal points out, is something slightly different: the Hollywood ‘Mom-bshell.’ Said Schaal with biting sarcasm and yet scathing sincerity of a news broadcast where a svelte female anchor was flanked by two ‘Dad Bod’-ed male colleagues, “If that woman had a belly at all they would not let her on that show.”

Watch the hilarious and on-point take-down of this latest trend, AFTER THE JUMP…

Remorseless Confession Of Grindr Catfisher May Send Chill Down Your Spine

Remorseless Confession Of Grindr Catfisher May Send Chill Down Your Spine

110127_29_165841“All my life I thought I just had a shitty personality because I couldn’t seem to form good relationships with anyone, whether platonic or otherwise,” begins the online confession. But you might want to hold off on doling out the empathy until you’ve heard him out.

“My experience cat fishing has convinced me otherwise. It is so so easy to talk to people when they think you’re someone who is attractive,” he continues, and suddenly we feel a little queasy.

Catfishing, of course, is the act of using a false identity on social media to lure in unsuspecting victims, whether it be to convince them to send you racy photos or the mere entertainment value of tricking someone into trusting you. And this Redditor is apparently a pro, utilizing apps like Grindr and Tinder to chat hot guys up.

And while the act is entirely irredeemable, something about this remorseless catfisher gives us the feels.

“Guys open up to me, take revealing pictures of themselves, and express their love for me…Turns out my people skills have been good enough all this time, I’m just too damn ugly for anyone to take me seriously. This is at once maddening and liberating,” he reveals.

Can you really blame a guy who’s been made to feel like he’s less-than because of the way he looks for finding an outlet?

Well, it turns out you can. Yeah, you definitely can. Especially after you hear the real crux — his agenda, if you will.

“I like taking hot guys down a peg. They’ve been given so much and are so blissfully unaware if it. I love getting them to take pics of themselves playing with their ass…For all the benefits they receive for being born good looking I feel like they deserve to be punished just a little but for it. I think that’s fair. Ultimately I’m not really hurting anyone. Just temporarily embarrassing them. But they can handle it.”

Alright that’s a bit too twisted, and coming from us that’s saying something.

Yet another reminder that you never know who you’re really dealing with online. Be careful out there!

Cate Blanchett: I've Dated Women 'Many Times'

Cate Blanchett: I've Dated Women 'Many Times'
Actress Cate Blanchett has revealed to Variety magazine that she has been in same-sex relationships “many times.”

The two-time Oscar winner was discussing her role as the title character in the upcoming film “Carol.” Based on the 1952 Patricia Highsmith novel “The Price of Salt,” the movie tells the story of a young department store clerk played by Rooney Mara who falls in love with the older, married Carol.

Variety reports:

When asked if this is her first turn as a lesbian, Blanchett curls her lips into a smile. “On film — or in real life?” she asks coyly. Pressed for details about whether she’s had past relationships with women, she responds: “Yes. Many times,” but doesn’t elaborate.

Blanchett and her husband, playwright Andrew Upton, have four children.

In the wide-ranging interview, the Australian actress also discussed the difficulty of bringing a film like “Carol” to the big screen.

“Midrange films with women at the center are tricky to finance,” she said. “There are a lot of people laboring under the misapprehension that people don’t want to see them, which isn’t true.”

Blanchett also revealed that she doesn’t watch her own movies, doesn’t Google herself and said she’ll never join Twitter.

“I think I’d end up in rehab,” she said. “That stuff is addictive.”

Read the full interview here.

“Carol” premieres on Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.
