The trailer for Radioactive, the Marie Curie bio-pic starring Rosamund Pike. Don’t hate me, but I totally expected Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” to start playing. [Tom & Lorenzo]

Some random facts about Hamilton! [Pajiba]
Chris Pine, unbuttoned and gold-chain’d. [JustJared]
Jimmy Fallon is back in the studio. [LaineyGossip]
Ghislaine Maxwell keeps getting moved to different cells to “avoid assassins.” [Dlisted]

Matt Gaetz is racist, but where is Nestor?? [Jezebel]
Tom Bergeron & Erin Andrews will no longer cohost DWTS. [Seriously OMG]
Come on dude. Marie Curie. Don’t throw in a pop band, as nice as it is. She was a badass.
I’ll take pioneering lady scientist well before a sh*tty pastiche pop band ANY time!
Ooohhh, the Gaetz thing. So much stuff happening, I had forgotten all about it. Twitter detectives had unearthed a lot of stuff, including the fact that a young woman unrelated to them both – a facilitator of some kind? – had been gifted a luxury car by Gaetz’s family. I hope the full story will come to light… and that Nestor is okay.
He’s slimy down to his core, I hope he is either voted out of office, or he’s caught in whatever crime he’s doing at the moment.
Marie Curie was an amazing scientist and the first woman to win a Nobel prize. I’m excited to watch this. Imagine dragons could never.
Yes. But that wig is distracting.
Well we know without a doubt the Magat leader won’t be watching. Radioactivity brought him to the table but a woman? French? Curie? Nobel? That’s like summoning ten Faucis.
Curie is Polish!!!
@EatTheRich1: true! One does not cancel the other though, she is also French – she arrived in Paris at 24, and stayed in France until her death at the age of 66.
But I do get your point, when speaking about Marie Curie, the Polish part is often omitted, which is a shame.
I saw this a while back. Really well done! And no Imagine Dragons in sight (and I like them as a band, but Madame Curie deserves all the accolades)
And the only person to ever receive two! In two separate fields (chemistry and physics) to boot!
Those who committed crimes like Ghislaine Maxwell do not survive when placed in a prison’s general population.
Nestor has completely disappeared
No way will they put her in Gen Pop. Too obvious.
No way there is any possibility she will be in court unless they keep her locked up.
I’m sure she’s already destroyed as much evidence as she could. It remains to be seen what the feds got. “I had no idea” isn’t going to work this time.
did you guys see what Sebastian Stan is doing??
apparently his current girlfriend dressed up with her friends for a “China Night” and ofc the cultural appropriation etc – but see thats not what blew my mind….somebody pointed out he is blocking ASIAN FANS who are asking him why he is dating someone who would do that….
thats one way to make it worse! double down on your gf’s having a “China Girl Night’ by blocking fans, starting with the asian ones…..O_o
ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/118415439.html
suddenly, when i saw that, I was like – why is this so hard, ppl??? just.dont.be.racist.dont.culturally.appropriate.!
As wasn’t a China Night it was an Asian Night and as far as I can tell the Japanese don’t really give a shit about it as they would then have to stop dressing as Rockabillies or any mass of other stuff that comes out of Harajuku like all the Lolita stuff and I say this as a fan of Babymetal whose entire look came from that ( they spent a large chunk of last year nicking bits of other Asian sounds and adding them in to their set )
And as far as I can tell the people moaning were not Japanese it was STAN Shit people moaning because he has a girlfriend
That’s not how cultural appropriation works. Cultural appropriation is not Japanese kids being rockabillies. Rockabillies are not a culture. That’s like saying it’s cultural appropriation if I wear a Lakers jersey.

The Japanese are the ones who should be offended and as far as I can see it was not them complaining about it .
I just don’t understand what is wrong with respecting other cultures.
The Japanese rockabillies are superfans. They dig deep and do it with genuine respect and dedication.
Using traditional garments from another culture for a cosplay cocktail party isn’t the same thing.
Not sure why you want to go to bat for this. Some things are better left undone.
Just because there isn’t a big hue and cry about it doesn’t make it right.
As far as I can see, it isn’t up to you to decide it doesn’t matter.
I just don’t understand what is wrong with respecting other cultures.
The Japanese rockabillies are superfans. They dig deep and do it with genuine respect and dedication.
Using traditional garments from another culture for a cosplay cocktail party isn’t the same thing at all.
Not sure why you feel compelled to go to bat for this. Some things are better left undone.

And not for you is it either .
I have no reason to complain about Harajuku and the Rockabillies and I don’t . But people black and white invented it like Wanda Jackson
I do hope you have never wore tartan or plaid in your life .As that is someone elses culture but everyone wears it and don’t blink an eye about it . Like fuck those clearances like they never happened .Like I said about the person all giddy about Chris Pine further down why was him and Jessica Lange given a pass on appropriation.
The reason it does not bother me is the Japanese don’t care about it .Find a Japanese complaining and I would listen to them .
@Humbugged Good lord. You must believe in reverse racism too. Are you now the emissary and ordained voice for “the Japanese”? Are you going to say that Black women who straighten their hair are appropriating “white culture”? ffs
Haapa
No I watched a thing about Japanese being interviewed about people wearing kimonos and they basically all said they did not care about it
My point was elsewhere on this thread posters are blowing smoke up Chris Pine’s ass when he happily played someone not from his culture while abusing this woman for something that no Japanese was moaning about . Plenty of Scots have moaned about Mary’s in MQOS court being played entirely by non Scots or that Outlander had no Scots actresses in it
I love Rosamund Pike, I think she’s so stunning
She will be back to finish Wheel Of Time shortly as it is just about to restart .
For people who hated Game of Thrones this is a finished work .The author was dying but selected someone to finish it for him
Moment of silence for Grant Imahara. My whole family watched every season of Mythbusters and loved the entire team. We even included a drive by of M5 Industries and the Alameda Naval Air Force Base when we drove to San Francisco a few years back. We will miss the brilliance, comedy, and wholesomeness he brought to all his projects. This is such a hard time for his wife and family.
I’m so sad about him. He seemed like such a kind, intelligent guy, and I loved the show so much.
That was incredibly sad news. RIP, Grant. I loved that show and him on it. So young, too.
OMG! This is the hottest I’ve ever seen Mr Efron…and I’m not into beards at all. Must see this movie if it comes on NetFlix.
Chris Pine! Thank- you.
Tortured any Scottish accents recently has he ?
Of course if there were any Scots actors he and Jessica Lange should be called out for their appropriation of The Bruce and Mary MacGregor
I love Tom Bergeron. Seems so kind and classy. I used to watch DWTS but don’t anymore. I liked it in 2007-2010. I was going through a hard time and it was very soothing to watch it…guilty pleasure and comforting. I will always love Tom and the Hough siblings because of the show in those days.
For the love of my country, Maria Skłodkowska-Curie. And yes, she was total badass.
