What left Hollywood legend Meryl Streep in complete shock (and divided viewers) as she……see more

She’s one of the Hollywood’s finest acting talents, yet Meryl Streep still found herself compared to the most unflattering of items on Sunday evening.

 

 

 

The Oscar-winning star, 75, was in attendance as the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards got underway at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles when her on-screen proficiency was played for laughs.

 

 

Presenting the award for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series, for which Streep was nominated courtesy of her starring role in Only Murders In The Building, Rob McElhenney and wife Kaitlin Olson compared her to a jockstrap.

 

 

‘Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to honor the comedic performances that hold everything in place. They show crucial support when it’s really needed,’ McElhenney told guests while announcing the nominees.

Chiming in, Olson quipped: ‘Much like a jockstrap… what you were describing sounds very much like a jockstrap.’
No it doesn’t!’ McElhenney barked, adding: ‘These roles make sure everything stays secure, without this support the whole package falls apart… alright, this does sound like a jockstrap.’

With the camera panning to Streep as she sat in the audience alongside Martin Short, Olson joked: ‘Yeah, are you calling Meryl Streep a jockstrap?’

‘No! I’m so sorry Meryl,’ he said, feigning upset

Meanwhile Streep appeared shocked as she looked down at her lap before quietly mouthing “Oh God” in mock horror.

The award was subsequently won by Liza Colón-Zayaas for her role in The Bear. with the actress beating Streep, Carol Burnett, Hannah Einbinder, Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph to the accolade.

However viewers were divided over McElhenney and Olson’s scripted gag, with a handful taking to X, formerly Twitter, later that night to express their opinions.

‘I don’t know who wrote the #EmmyAwards tonight, but the dialog is soooooo cringe. They just compared Meryl Streep to a jock strap. Yeah, it’s that bad,’ wrote one.

While a second added: ‘Meryl Streep reacting to being called a jockstrap was amazing.’
Elsewhere, a third posted: ‘I can’t believe @RMcElhenney just called Meryl Streep a jockstrap.’

Sebastian Stan calls out reporter for describing co-star Adam Pearson as a….see more

Sebastian Stan called out a reporter for commenting on his co-star Adam Pearson’s facial disfigurement.

 

 

While the actors were promoting “A Different Man” at the Berlin Film Festival in February, a journalist asked, “What do you think happens after the transformation from this so-called beast, as they call him, to this perfect man?”
Stan, 42, quickly decided to call out the journo “a bit” for his “choice of words” during the panel in a video that resurfaced this week as he and Pearson, 39, promote the movie’s US release.

 

“I think part of why the film is important is because we often don’t have maybe even the right vocabulary,” the Golden Globe nominee explained. “I think it’s a little more complex than that.

 

 

“And obviously there [are] language barriers and so on, but you know, ‘beast’ isn’t the word, I think.”

In the movie, Stan’s character, Edward, becomes fixated on Pearson’s character, Oswald, who plays Edward in a stage production of his former life.
Pearson has neurofibromatosis, which is characterized by benign tumors growing in the nervous system, both in the psychological thriller and real life.

During his clapback, Stan slammed the public’s “preconceived ideas” about the condition.
“We’re not really educated on how to really understand this experience,” he said. “So I can’t really speak to that. One of the things I love about the movie is that he’s offering you a way to kind of look at it.”
The Emmy nominee noted, “Hopefully, if you can have the same objective point of view while you’re experiencing the film, then maybe you can pick apart the initial instincts that you have. And maybe those aren’t always the right ones.”

Perry Farrell Breaks Silence on Dramatic Fight with Dave Navarro

Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell has finally opened up about the explosive argument with bandmate Dave Navarro that forced the cancellation of their tour. In a recent interview, Farrell shared his side of the story, revealing the tensions that had been building between the two musicians.

“It was a long time coming,” Farrell admitted. “We’d been touring non-stop for years, and the tension had been building up. We’re both strong-willed and passionate about our music, and sometimes that passion can boil over into conflict.”

According to Farrell, the fight erupted during a rehearsal session, with the two musicians clashing over creative differences. “We were working on a new song, and Dave wanted to take it in a different direction,” Farrell explained. “I felt strongly that we should stick to our original vision, and things just escalated from there.”

The argument reportedly became so heated that the rest of the band was forced to intervene, and the rehearsal session was abandoned. The tension between Farrell and Navarro was palpable, and it soon became clear that the tour would have to be canceled.

“It was a difficult decision, but we couldn’t continue with the tour in that state,” Farrell said. “We’re taking a break to recharge and refocus. We’ll be back, but for now, we need some time apart.”

Despite the drama, Farrell insisted that the fight was not the end of Jane’s Addiction. “We’ve been through tough times before, and we’ve always come out stronger on the other side,” he said. “We’re not done yet. We’ve still got music to make and a legacy to uphold.”

The cancellation of the tour has left fans disappointed, but Farrell’s statement offers hope for the future. As the band takes time to regroup and reflect, one thing is certain – the passion and intensity that drives Jane’s Addiction will continue to fuel their music and their legacy.

Dave Grohl’s wife, Jordyn Blum, ditches wedding ring as she steps out with….see more

Dave Grohl’s wife, Jordyn Blum, ditched her wedding ring for a workout with her tennis coach, Christopher Crabb.

In Page Six’s exclusive photos, Blum, 48, was seen arriving at a Studio City, Calif., court on Tuesday, where the pair played the sport together for four hours.

Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz joined in on the session, as he was seen exiting the premises alongside a sweaty Blum.
For the outing — which marks Blum’s first since her husband revealed he recently fathered a child outside of their marriage — the blond beauty sported a black tennis skirt and a gray racerback tank top, which she wore under a matching hoodie.

She carried a red leather crossbody bag, a water bottle, a protein bar and her phone, completing her look with checkered slides and black sunglasses.

Noticeably missing was any jewelry on her left ring finger.
Crabb, for his part, paired a neon yellow T-shirt with white basketball shorts and tied his long hair back into a man bun.
Grohl has long been suspicious of Blum’s relationship with Crabb.

“Dave Grohl has been jealous for ages about Jordyn’s hot tennis coach,” a source told the outlet over the weekend.
“They’ve had arguments about him, and Dave thinks they’ve flirted. Jordyn has told him he’s crazy to even think that. But Dave has persisted.”

Blum has reportedly been working with Crabb, 55, for years — and sometimes has multiple sessions per week at his Tarzana, Calif., home.

In July, Crabb — who also coaches several other celebrities — took to Instagram to gush over both Blum and Grohl.
He posted a photo of the longtime couple at Wimbledon together and captioned it, “So excited to see my students, Dave and Jordyn. They always look stylish on and off the tennis court.”

Early last week, Grohl — who shares daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, with Blum — announced he had a fourth.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” the Foo Fighters frontman told his Instagram followers in a statement.
I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
The former Nirvana drummer — who did not disclose his mistress’ identity — concluded his message by saying that he and his family are “grateful” for the public’s “consideration toward all the children involved” as they “move forward together.”

Blum has yet to address the matter publicly; however, the former model-turned-MTV producer was photographed sans wedding ring a few weeks before Grohl’s indiscretion made headlines.
After news broke, internet users began taking a closer look at his past relationships.

The rocker and his first wife, Jennifer Youngblood, divorced in 1997 after his reported “admitted infidelities.”

He moved on with snowboarding pioneer Tina Basich, who claimed in her 2003 memoir that the musician cheated on her during their two-year romance.

Then late last week, a woman claimed to Page Six exclusively that Grohl hit on her in 2013 using the “exact same” “future ex-wife” pickup line that won Blum over in 2001.
The Post also recently reported on Grohl’s secret relationship with “alt porn goddess” Annaliese Nielsen, whose then-roommate saw them getting cozy in 2018.

It’s unclear whether Blum had concerns when she and Grohl tied the knot in August 2003; however, “Dave’s flirty behavior has been a hurdle in their marriage,” a source told People earlier this week. “It’s been hurtful to Jordyn.”

Another source added that those close to the longtime couple were not shocked by the baby bombshell given that the Grammy winner has “a rock star side.”
