Yeah, I’m sorry, but there’s no way Tom Hardy comes off as anything but a raging, potentially abusive d*ck in Kyle Buchanan’s new book on the making of Mad Max: Fury Road. The dude went off on Charlize Theron and scared the sh*t out of her after she rightly called him out for being three hours late. It got so bad, a female producer had to be assigned to Theron to make sure nothing happened to her for the rest of the production. WTF? (New York Post)
Alden Ehrenreich is mounting a comeback with multiple upcoming projects after a quiet few years. P.S. Solo is good, actually. (Lainey Gossip)
Wait, Rob Kardashian never stopped suing Blac Chyna this whole time? (Dlisted)
Cardi B is not on Russia or NATO’s side. Weird take, but wasn’t she all in on Bernie? Then this completely tracks. (Celebitchy)

From Andrew: I loved watching stand-up on Fridays after school. The Amazing Jonathan’s specials always stuck out to me. Unhinged and hilarious. RIP.

New Cannonballer Kreeves gives the cry of many a book reviewer faced with an excellent book, "This review doesn’t do it justice, just read the book!" It’s no surprise, Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents was the most in-demand library book in 2021. Have you read Caste yet? (Cannonball Read 14)
