Thor star Chris Hemsworth shared this video (below) from his workouts with trainer Luke Zocchi, who gets Hemsworth into god-like shape for his role as the Avenger from Asgard.
Cardio, strength, and resistance exercises all play a part in beefing up the hunky Aussie for his upcoming flick, Thor: Ragnarok.
My first thought was, “Look at those arms and shoulders!”
But then, why look at just one part of the shirtless hunk?
British singer/songwriter Leon Else, follows up his 2016 hit singles “Black Car” and “Dance,” with his new track, “The City Don’t Care,” featuring Oliver.
Else, the man Elvis Duran says “is about to be a star,” says he wrote the song based on his experiences in Los Angeles.
“There is a fine line between dreams and nightmares, and I felt like I was experiencing both. So I wanted to do a song that musically felt like I was driving through paradise — the sun setting, the pink skies, the palm trees over the ocean, the city in the distance — but, lyrically, I wanted it to be about the dark side, the lonely side, and the deceiving side of the city; everyday being the same old shit.”
I love the visual. Before I even read the quote, Else’s new song reminded me of a sequence from the 1980s hit TV series Miami Vice that featured Don Johnson racing through the streets of Miami to the tune of Glenn Frey’s “You Belong to the City.”
This being about LA, the vibe here is more laid-back.
I like the rich 80s synth vibe set against the melancholy of the lyric.
I guarantee you’ll be hearing this at afternoon pool/beach parties this summer.
So, this is how President Trump will backtrack out of his false allegation that President Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.
According to Trump spokesman Sean Spicer today during a White House press briefing, Obama didn’t wiretap Trump’s phones.
He “wiretapped” the phones.
See, those were air quotes utilized by Spicer. Watch below at the :55 mark:
In truth, President Trump specifically accused Obama of tapping “my phones” during the 2016 election.
It’s been over a week since the Trumpster took to Twitter to accuse Obama of tapping his phones. Folks from Capitol Hill to the media have asked every day what proof Trump has to base such an outrageous accusation.
The answer is, of course, none.
Spicer also said that Trump was referring to the Obama administration broadly; that Trump didn’t mean to specify President Obama as an individual.
However, Trump’s language in those now-infamous tweets included “Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower” and accused Obama of being a “bad” or “sick guy.” Sounds like he was talking about Obama to me.
I guarantee what happened was Trump read the allegation from Breitbart thanks to a report put in his daily reading pile by an aide. Trump, already angry from Jeff Sessions quick decision to recuse himself from any investigation into Russian contacts, went on a Twitter tear about the idea of being surveilled, without bothering to think about any future blowback of such an allegation.
Now, he’s stuck with providing concrete proof, or looking foolish.
Guess which one it’s going to be?

The internet’s favorite “Liberal Redneck,” Trae Crowder, shares his thoughts on the healthcare proposal TrumpCare, which he says is so “profoundly terrible that even most Republicans hate it.”
Along the way, Crowder takes “senior Trump administration anus polisher Jason Chaffetz” to task for his comments about choosing between health care and an iPhone.
“That sh*t is like telling somebody that if they can’t afford their work truck payment this month then maybe they shouldn’t have bought those blue jeans back in October. The cost of an iPhone won’t get you two aspirins and a slap on the ass in an American hospital.”
Scarlett Johansson takes her turn at Trump parody. On SNL this past weekend, the elegant Avenger offered her take on “Ivanka Trump” pitching faux perfume commercial, “Complicit.”
The spot takes aim at the woman who “could stop all this, but won’t.”
“She’s loyal, devoted, but probably should have bounced after that whole Access Hollywood bust thing,” goes the voiceover.
And then there’s the shot of what exactly “Ivanka” sees when she looks in the mirror 🙂
Watch below:
This little guy, Ollie, has a major spill running the course at the Crufts Dog Show, but still goes for the gusto.
Happy Monday!
Asked by The Bergen Record on Sunday if she knew for a fact that Trump Tower phones had been wiretapped, White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said, “What I can say is that there are many ways to surveil each other now, unfortunately. There was an article this week that talked about how you can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways. Microwaves that turn into cameras, etcetera.”

This morning, Conway made several more appearances and had to answer questions on the idea of “surveillance microwave ovens.” Talking to CNN’s Chris Cuomo, she attempted to obfuscate with, “I was answering a question about surveillance techniques generally.”
Pressed further on the wiretapping allegation, Conway whipped up this whopper: “I’m not Inspector Gadget. I don’t believe people are using the microwave to spy on the Trump campaign. However, I’m not in the job of having evidence.”
Because “alternate facts.”

As a reminder – both President Obama and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have said there’s nothing to the allegations.
President Trump, in an astounding display of irony, chastised the media for being “rude” to Conway:
It is amazing how rude much of the media is to my very hard working representatives. Be nice, you will do much better!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 13, 2017
Saturday Night Live spoofed the upcoming gay reality show from Logo, Fire Island, with a “companion” lesbian show, Cherry Grove.
“If you think Fire Island is non-stop sex, wait till you see what passes for a bang-fest in Cherry Grove.”
It would appear the ladies of Cherry Grove party hearty with puzzles, Annie Lennox, and wine, wine, wine.

| Colton Haynes and fiance Jeff Leatham |
Now this is how to pop the question 🙂
Former Teen Wolf/Arrow star Colton Haynes had an eventful weekend as he announced he and bf Jeff Leatham got engaged.
Haynes posted a pic on his Instagram featuring the couple kissing in front of a fireworks display with the caption, “I SAID YES!!!”
Haynes confirmed the rumors of his romance with Leatham last month. Leatham is a celebrity floral designer whose clients include Kris Jenner and Sofia Vergara.
Apparently Cher, who’s known Laatham for years, had a part in the moment. Haynes attributes an “I Got You Babe” lead-in to the big proposal.
“It’s not every day that someone comes into your life & makes you want to be a better man,” Haynes shared with a picture of the two snuggling in bed on Instagram. “I feel so blessed to be by your side @jeffleatham. #WhatMoviesAreMadeOf.”
