A great disturbance: Ewan McGregor was sick of having to lie about returning as Obi-Wan

Image
On Thursday's episode of Conan , Ewan McGregor spoke about his upcoming return to the Star Wars universe as Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Fans had been hoping to see McGregor wield a lightsaber once more for a long time, so the announcement of a new live-action Star Wars series was big news. "It's exciting 'cause I can finally say that I'm doing it," said a relieved McGregor. The actor had been sworn to secrecy, meaning he basically had to lie when asked about a potential return to the Star Wars franchise. And he was asked a lot . "We've been talking about it for a long time, but it started looking like I was sort of trying to tout for the job! Like I was trying to get the job as Obi-Wan again, at Disney's door saying, 'Hello, sir? I'm available!'" Read more...

Watch Gaten Matarazzo and Jimmy Fallon hilariously butcher 'The Never Ending Story'

Image
Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo appeared on Thursday night's episode of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to talk trick-or-treating, his last year of school, and where he hopes Dustin will end up in the fourth season of Stranger Things . Matarazzo claimed to be in the dark about the popular Netflix series' next season, telling Fallon, "I have no idea what any of [ the teaser ] means. No, genuinely, I do not. I want to know."  But if it were up to him, he'd give his character Dustin a break from the constant horrors of The Upside Down.  "I want Dustin to be completely out of the loop... for like the whole season," said Matarazzo. "Maybe that just means that Dustin's in Florida and, like, every 20 minutes it just cuts to him on Space Mountain." Read more...

Seth Meyers pokes fun at Republican panic around the impeachment inquiry

Image
On Thursday's episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers , the host examined the US House of Representatives' vote to endorse the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump – a vote that many Republicans had insisted would not pass. In fact, White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News claiming "[The Democrats] don't have the votes" — a clip Meyers juxtaposed deliciously with various news bulletins announcing the vote had passed. "What? We can't trust Kellyanne Conway?" joked Meyers. "I guess up is up and down is down." Meyers also touched on the possibility that Trump's ex-national security adviser John Bolton will be called to testify, which will be interesting considering their less than amicable split.

The 73-year-old resident of Telangana, India, rose to internet fame through his popular cooking videos , in which he prepared ridiculously large portions of food. Reddy's outsized meals weren't a simple pursuit of internet notoriety, but a reflection of his equally outsized heart.

Anti-Choice Officials Have a New Tactic for Limiting Abortion Access: Tracking Your Period

Tuesday already had extremely high stakes: It was the second day of a hearing to decide if the Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Louis could keep the license that allows its providers to perform abortions. If Missouri revokes the license, it would become the first state in the country without an abortion clinic in more than 40 years. Then, the state health director admitted that the department kept a spreadsheet that tracked the menstrual cycles of people who visited the clinic. It’s a harrowingly Big Brother-ish move by anti-choice government officials that would seem unimaginable—if the federal government hadn’t already engaged in similar behavior last year. Randall Williams, the Missouri state health director, testified that the state’s main inspector made a spreadsheet to attempt to figure out which patients “had undergone failed abortions,” meaning they had to return to the clinic for an additional procedure, according to the Kansas City Star . While the spreadsheet did not id...

The Best Full-Sized Candy Bars To Give Trick-Or-Treaters (If You Ball Like That)

Image
Uproxx Trick-or-treating is probably a practice you retired many a Halloween ago. Or a few Halloweens ago. Or in 2016. Let’s face it, a full-grown adult — in a costume — is supposed to be at a bar, or at the very least a house party getting sloshed, not going door to door asking for candy . Yet, many of us likely have fond memories of meeting up with our friends and marauding around the neighborhood, demanding free candy. It was the best sort of tradition for so many of us. We’d plot our courses carefully in those halcyon days. We knew which houses had the straight dope and who was giving out toothbrushes or, gasp, apples. More often than not, the candy was single servings of Jolly Ranchers or Hershey’s Minis or Tootsie Pops. You know, the one-off bites of candy that no one loves but no one really hates either. But there was always one house where they were giving out full-sized candy bars. Maybe they’d just made a Costco run or perhaps they simply understood that passing...

Facebook allowed, then removed, ads soliciting donations to a fake Trump campaign page

Image
An "obviously fake" Facebook page presenting itself as part of the Trump campaign was able to run political ads on the site unchecked, while also linking to a scam website soliciting donations, CNN reports .  It's a bad look for Facebook, which has come under increased pressure lately for its terrible stance on political advertising – a stance that can basically be summed up by the shrugging emoji, and has been publicly slammed by the company's own employees . Established in March this year, the DonaldTrumpCampaign Facebook page blended into the actual Trump campaign like a chameleon in a dung heap, repeating many of Trump's talking points and rhetoric.  Read more...
