A Singing Public Hair Hopes to Destigmatize Your Bush
Gillette’s new jingle- that sounds a lot like a Disney montage- tackles pubic hair stigma. The message is that women need to be proud of their area whether they’re going wood floor, or big and bushy. “I’m just a pube, and it’s not fair, all I ever wished to be was just another hair. But when they got one look at me, the ruling from society was, ‘Ew, not you.’ Oh what’s a curl to do?
Nice to see Demi Lovato is getting work.

Boston Radio Host Matty in the Morning Appears to Quit On Air
Popular Boston morning show host Matt Seigel says he hasn’t quit the morning show he’s helmed for more than 40 years. But he did walk off today after getting a note from the boss asking him to stop making jokes about Demi Lovato. “They said shut up, Matt. Stop talking. Well, I hope you’re happy ‘cuz I just stopped talking. Matty out,”
Sounds more like Mad-dy in the morning.

Martin Freeman On Jim Carrey's Behavior on Man in the Moon Set: Self Aggrandizing, Selfish, Fucking Narcissistic Bullocks
Freeman was appearing on James Acaster’s podcast and got quite colorful trashing Carrey’s on set behavior. No, Freeman wasn’t in the movie but we’ve all heard the stories and saw the documentary Jim & Andy that detailed Carrey’s intense absorption into the role.
For me, and I’m genuinely sure Jim Carrey is a lovely and smart person, but it was the most self-aggrandizing, selfish, f**king narcissistic b**locks I have ever seen,The idea anything in our culture would celebrate that or support it is deranged, literally deranged.”
‘I became the character,’ No, you didn’t, you’re not supposed to become the f***ing character because you’re supposed to be open to stuff that happens in real life because someone at some stage is going to say ‘Cut’ and there’s no point going, ‘What does ‘cut’ mean because I’m Napoleon?’ Shut up,” he added.
Martin, you’re not mad at Jim Carrey, you’re mad at ricky Gervais.
