Sometimes "news" really just means "a conflagration of bizarre, seemingly-unrelated events that would seem more appropriate in a P.T. Anderson movie than they do in actual life," and this is one of those times. A woman went into the late stages of labor on a park bench in New York, and the paramedics were already on the scene when TMZ caught Jonah Hill, of all people, meandering, stupefied, up to the bench to get a picture of the afterbirth.
When the paparazzi called out Hill and girlfriend Alexandra Hoffman (Dustin's daughter and Hill's girlfriend), he fled, abashed. Judging by Hill's later tweet, he was there for most of the birthing process before the ambulance arrived:
Without further ado, the inner monologue of the woman giving birth on the park bench:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU—wait wasn't that kid in Superbad but is in more serious movies now, what was that one about Moneyball or Murderball or Ballsomething, what is my life even, FUUUUUUUUUU—
