Thelma and Louise Is Even More Awesome Than I Remembered
Thelma and Louise: The ultimate road movie, feminist revenge flick, 128 minutes of vicious male-bashing, the one where Brad Pitt is stoopid sexy, a punk-rock Western — however you think of this iconic 1991 film from Oscar-winner Callie Khouri and director Ridley Scott starring Geena Davis as the fun-loving Thelma, and…
The Hobbit Was a 'Death Trap' For Animals

Rihanna Had Sex With Ashton Kutcher While You Were Sleeping Last Night
Just as you were getting up this morning Rihanna was on the princess phone telling her bestie Katy Perry about the non-stop fuckathon she'd just enjoyed at Ashton Kutcher's place. We're guessing.
