I'm posting about this because I remember those times: Britney claimed to be a virgin, and when Timberlake outed her as sexually active she retaliated by issuing a statement that his dick is small. Now we find out that:

Quote:Britney Spears Claims Justin Timberlake Got Her Pregnant [in 2000], Says She Got an Abortion in New Memoir

"It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated," Spears wrote about the pregnancy via People. "But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."

Well, it's a nice conclusion to the story of these nice people.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sean Hannity has claimed that his training in mixed martial arts would keep him safe if he were ever involved in a mass shooting.

I'm not really conversant with martial arts, but I'm pretty sure than none of them render you bullet proof.

Delusional.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Maybe we should test his theory IRL.

Not me, maybe you could. I'm sure he has some NRA nut jobs that would be willing to take a shot at it.

25 years ago, Cher released a song that would change the sound of pop music

NPR

Quote:Cher's song "Believe" was released on Oct. 19, 1998, and it became the first hit song to use Auto-Tune as an instrument — something that's still all over pop music 25 years later.

Why Horror Is the Most Important Movie Genre

Quote:Hollywood is a pretty scary place right now.

Blockbuster bombs with bloated budgets have put the squeeze on massive megacorps. Streaming sucked the blood out of theatrical revenues, only to be staked by profit-starved investors. New forms of onscreen entertainment are melting the brains of the next generation of mindless consumers. Even the workers are revolting!

The movie business is in the midst of a painful metamorphosis, but even in times of turmoil and change, one genre has quietly kept things alive and thriving.

“I just think horror is, at its best anyway, an inherently creative genre,” says Chucky creator Don Mancini. “You can really get extreme with it.”

Horror movies are about as old as cinema itself, and over the last 100 years, they’ve proven to be essential to the art and business of filmmaking in more ways than one.

“[People] ask what I do and I say, ‘I direct horror movies,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t like horror movies,’” director Michael Chaves (The Nun II) recently told us. “I’m like, ‘Give me a break. You just haven’t tried it! It’s like saying you don’t like fish or sushi. You just haven’t tried the right one!”

So can horror save cinema from its decrepit state? It wouldn’t be the first time.
