Kumail Nanjiani’s body transformation is unreal!

Kumail Nanjiani is a comedian and actor who isn't really known in any way as a sexy leading man.  I mean he's cute and funny and all, but not traditionally hot, lets say.  So this is a major turnover.  I'll let him give you the details from his Instagram post.

I never thought I’d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. I’m glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise I’ll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.) (edit: I left off one very important person: @lancecallahan who trained me for 6 years and helped me build the foundation I could use to do this. Thank you!)

Marg Helgenberger buys architectural masterpiece

Marg Helgenberger has been acting a long time and it seems she knows a thing or two about architecture as well. Because this place is a stunner!  The home is named Zen Housz and to quote the listing "The design has been archived in the UCSB Architecture Museum. The home was featured on the cover of Art and Architecture in 1962." Nice credentials. Nestled in the Brentwood Hills area, the home spans 3,850 square feet, has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a view that's to die for.  The homes real beauty, however, is in the carefully pieced together levels, patterns and textures created by so so so much redwood.

Grab your anxiety meds. PewDiePie is leaving Youtube

I know.  Who needs to hear such shocking news so close to the holidays, but it's true.  PewDiePie is ready to take a leaving YouTube.  For a while, at least. The Swedish YouTube star, born Felix Kjellberg, 30, announced in a video posted on Saturday that he was going to take a break from the platform, saying: “I am taking a  break from YouTube next year. I wanted to say it in advance because I made up my mind. I’m tired. I’m feeling very tired, I don’t know if you can tell.” He...

Tekashi 6ix9ine sweating bullets before Wednesday sentencing

You remember Tekashi 69, right? that clown looking rapper who pretended to be a member of the notorious gang "the Bloods" to get some street cred.  He went to jail for a slew of charges relating to gang activity and turn snitch while in the clink. Now, facing almost life in prison, he's hoping the judge can see fit to give him a drastically reduced sentence.  Possibly even time served. Of course I don't understand his plan.  He claims, to the judge at least, that he can't believe the...

Chelsea Handler Reacts To death of Chuy Bravo

  Chuy Bravo was the lovable sidekick to Chelsea Handler on her late night E Show, Chelsea Lately.  Sadly he died this weekend of still unknown causes.  He was in Mexico City when he had stomach pains and was taken to the hospital where he passed away. Chelsea took to social media last night to express her love for the little man and her joy of knowing him. "I loved this nugget in a big way, and I took great pleasure in how many people loved him as much as I did and do. @chuybravo gave us so much laughter and I’ll never forget the sound of his laughter coming from his office into mine. Or his “business calls” with his “business manager,” or his shoe rack with all his children-sized shoes. I’ll never forget him coming to Christmas with my family one year in the Florida keys, and when my niece who was 5 or 6 at the time—saw him, she ran in the other direction saying she was scared. My sister and I were mortified and were apologizing to Chuy, who told us,”it’s ok, lots of little kids get scared when they see big kids coming their way.” I love you, Chuy!"

Stormie Jenner broke my laptop with just her power of cuteness

You can keep your video of Kylie singing "Rise and Shine" to baby Stormie.  For me the gold is in the most recent post of the curly head cutie. Last night Kylie posted a short video of Stormie slathered in her moms signature lip gloss when she announces she's "HAPPY!"  I want to make that into a tone to ring whenever I get a text message. It's INSANE!!!!!!!     View this post on Instagram   @kyliecosmetic...

Juice WRLD’s mother addresses his death and addiction

I certainly understand when family of star who die of an overdose don't choose to speak on the matter.  It's a heartbreaking time.  But when a family chooses to use this tragedy as a way to help others avoid the same traps, it's really inspiring. Juice WRLD's mother has made that decision. “We loved Jarad with all of our hearts and cannot believe our time with him has been cut short,” Carmella Wallace said in a statement to TMZ, referring to her son by his real name, Jarad Higgin...

Pop Culture auction items from the last couple weeks

I love auctions. Any kind. Even if it's an old farm tractor. If someone pays a lot of money for it, it must be interesting. That's my thinking.  But when celeb or film items go on the block, it's almost certain the people are going to pay top dollar. Last month a mystery billionaire (what a moniker that is!) bought Olivia Newton Johns leather jacket from the movie "Grease" at auction.  They paid $243,000.  Now we've learned they've returned the jacket to Olivia, as a gift. The money raised went to her cancer foundation. I love auctions. Any kind. Even if it's an old farm tractor. If someone pays a lot of money for it, it must be interesting.
