Olivia Wilde, the planet’s last surviving Cro-Magnon woman, recently revealed to Howard Stern that she was turned down for the role of Leonardo DiCaprio’s wife in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street because of her impressively old age.
She told Stern:
“The funniest thing I heard recently was, I had heard for a part that I was too sophisticated. I thought, ‘Oh, that sounds nice. I like that feedback. I didn’t get the part but I’m a very sophisticated person.’ Then I found out later they actually said ‘old.’ I had auditioned unsuccessfully for Wolf of Wall Street. That was the one I was too old for.”
Though Wilde claims to have been around 28 years old at the time of casting (DiCaprio was around 37), the film’s production team saw the icy, weathered truth in her prehistoric eyes and, after some casual radiocarbon dating, decided to give the role to Margot Robbie, who was born in the 20th century. Insiders claim director Martin Scorsese once described Wilde’s face as “that of an unsuccessful and hungry mammoth hunter.”
Wilde is currently married to Jason Sudeikis, 45,021 years her junior.
Before I get into this St. Patrick’s Day miracle of an item, just know that our friends at Gossip Cop claim it’s “ridiculously stupid” and “untrue.” But also know that no one on the planet is right 100% of the time, even the guardians of veritas over at Gossip Cop. This is Dirt Bag, not Fact Bag. (Can you even imagine how boring that would be?)
Question: Is it too late now to get taller?
The National Enquirer is reporting that Justin Bieber is buying “a machine that mimics weightlessness in space, all in the hopes that it will stretch his spine and make him two inches taller.” He apparently heard that an astronaut named Scott Kelly “grew two inches while spending a year aboard the International Space Station” and asked whoever his equivalent of Red from Shawshank is to acquire it for him.
Now go run up the hill to the church and ring that bell, Becky Sue! Ring it so hard and so loud that everyone in town comes ‘round. And when the whole town’s arrived, you tell ‘em Becky Sue! You tell ‘em that Mr. Bieber has bought that space machine and that he’s fixin’ to make himself taller!
I promise you Taylor Swift turned up the Ina Garten volume in this video, which is one of the most calculated and meticulously art directed Instagram posts I’ve seen from her in something like 36 hours.
