Well, tell us how you really feel. He thinks that the kinds of selfies fans take with celebrities, essentially the new millennium's version of autograph hounding, are the stupidest selfies of all because they make people seem “smaller” than the star. The guy just does not like selfies, but perhaps it’s Photoshop he hates even more. He says heavy manipulation can “reduce a person to nothing” and that unretouched photos are preferable. “When someone has the courage to be themselves, that is beautiful,” he said to a German magazine. A Facetuned selfie with a celebrity surely must be Lindbergh’s worst nightmare. | | Jackie O and Alec Baldwin Fan Fiction | He may be synonymous with Fake Trump now, but back in the ‘90s it seemed like every woman wanted to get their hands on Alec Baldwin. Every woman, including none other than Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Allegedly, at least. Yes, according to a new dishy memoir from Jim Hart (who was married to Carly Simon while the couple kept up a friendship with Ms. O), the former first lady once asked Hart for the phone number of his good friend Baldwin. She was eyeing the actor for a birthday date to the theater. Hart claims he set it all up, and Baldwin agreed even though he had just started dating Kim Basinger. The rumor has kicked around in a few purported Jackie O “tell all” books for years, but Hart is the first person who knew both to confirm it. Of course, nothing ever came of it. Baldwin went on to marry and later acrimoniously divorce Basinger, and Onassis of course had her own main companion in Maurice Tempelsman. | | |  | | | |  | | The career of Tig Notaro and Louis C.K. have a lot of similarities. The boundary-pushing stand-ups had been toiling around the same comedy clubs for decades and both were respected in the scene as they were coming up. Comedians' comedians, in fact, is how they might have been referred to. Yet, it’s only been in the past few years they’ve really emerged as true comedy superstars. The also have something in common: comedy sketches involving clowns. On CK’s recent episode of Saturday Night Live, he played a lonely man who hired a clown to his house to cheer him up. Notaro had starred in a web video with a very similar premise a few years before, and die-hard comedy Twitter took notice. Now, Notaro has, too. She tells Entertainment Weekly that she finds the situation “extremely disappointing,” and knows for sure that a writer who worked on the SNL sketch was well aware of her previous work. She also adds, “Louis C.K. and I have not communicated in any way for nearly a year and a half.” Well, this is all just disappointing. At the very least, both of them remain funnier than “World’s Hottest Math Teacher” Pietro Boselli. The fashion-beloved Instagram hottie recently tried his hand at a comedy sketch of his own, but refers to his co-star as “that Filipino man” and then uses him as a prop. It did not go over well. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jennifer Aniston doesn’t use Instagram, but sometimes you catch a glimpse of her on her husband’s feed. Justin Theroux and Aniston attended the party for the unveiling of Louis Vuitton’s latest collaboration with Jeff Koons at the Louvre in Paris on Tuesday night. Theroux couldn’t help but to caption the photo “In Louvre.” Get it? Again, comedy might not be everyone’s strong suit. | | | | | | | | | | Allison Williams, 29 (Girliest Girl) Ty Dolla $ign, 32 (Kanye Owes Fade To Him) Carmen Carrera, 32 (Showgirl About Town) Al Green, 71 (Soul Man) | | | | | | | | |
