Anne Hathaway has a fixation for scouting gritty athletes like OG Anunoby and Danny Woodhead

Anne Hathaway is back. And if you look at the stats. A guy Riggs posted about this OG Anunoby ran into Anne Hathaway Courtside. He was jumping outta bounds to save a ball. Since that moment he's been, he's had 24.3 points per game. Now Anne Hathaway is leaning into it. So she's like posting pictures of OG Anunoby on her Instagram. The one other obscure ish athlete that she's developed a fixation for over her career was Danny Woodhead. She's a massive Danny Woodhead fan.

The connection between Anne Hathaway and Danny Woodhead is a real internet fact, and the OG Anunoby interaction did happen, but the 'scouting fixation' is satirical.

Tom Brady will have a weird retirement filled with plastic surgery

He's going to have a very weird retirement. He's going to be plastic surgery dating like random chicks all the time. The TV 12... he's going to do some weird shit. There's nobody that's ever had just a touch of plastic surgery.

Brady's post-retirement appearance has been a constant source of internet speculation regarding cosmetic procedures.

Rebranding Mr. Potato Head to 'Potato Head' is neutering the toy

They changed him today. They massacred my boy. Hasbro is... they neutered him. Yeah, they're giving him a spud, a gender-neutral new name. Just Potato Head.

OpinionPop CultureMediumSarcastic
Hasbro did indeed announce the brand name would change to 'Potato Head,' though they clarified individual 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' toys would still exist.

Jennifer Lopez will start the halftime show with 'Jenny from the Block'

Jennifer from the Block. Put it in the bank. I think she's headlining.

Shakira opened the halftime show with 'She Wolf'. When J-Lo started her segment of the show, she opened with 'Jenny from the Block'.

Jon Snow will kill Daenerys Targaryen and the dragon

I've said that Jon Snow's going to kill Dany... I think Jon Snow's going to kill Dany and kill the dragon. Because he's going to be like, we can't have dragons in this world. Look what they did to King's Landing.

Jon Snow killed Daenerys in the series finale. He did not kill the dragon (Drogon), who melted the Iron Throne and flew away.

Stephen A. Smith is horny all the time

Stephen A. Smith addressing his horniness... He's now clarified he's only horny some of the hours. He said a couple hours a day... He responded to someone saying, 'Sexy photo too. Evidently, you're trying to get yourself in trouble,' winky face. He's fucking horny. Dude is horny.

Fact ClaimPop CultureHotSarcastic
While Stephen A. Smith literally admitted to being horny 'a few hours a day,' the general 'all the time' claim is a comedic exaggeration.

The Oscars are better without a host

No host is the future. Way better. No stupid gimmicks, you know, when they deliver pizzas or do the selfies or whatever the fuck happens when you run out of bits two hours into the Oscars.

The Academy went hostless again in 2020 and 2021, but eventually returned to the host format in 2022.

Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky are officially on the rocks

Polina Gretzky... has scrubbed her entire Instagram of all Dustin Johnson pictures... Which leads many to believe that they are on the rocks. Yeah... I think people that grew up with Instagram, that's just standard operating procedure. Once it's official, once you break up, heaven forbid you get into another relationship and there's still pictures.

While they had a rough patch and the scrubbing happened, they remained together and eventually married in 2022.

Millennials are killing breasts because they are desensitized by the internet

Millennials are killing boobs. So boobs are on the hot seat. ... Hooters is going through some down times. ... It's actually just because millennials aren't going to the restaurants anymore because they don't like boobs. ... By the time you're 18, you're like a seasoned veteran.

Economic data does show Hooters and similar 'breastaurant' models declining with younger demographics, though 'killing boobs' is a satirical framing.

Kanye West is only supporting Donald Trump to sell records

I'm assuming, I think we can all agree that it is all just to sell records, or see, they're not records anymore. ... Way to date yourself. ... But if it's not that, and instead to sell a new energy drink called Dragon Energy, I'm all the way in.

While Kanye did release an album (Ye) shortly after these events, his political alignment continued for years, suggesting it may have been more than a simple short-term marketing stunt for one record.

Tony Siragusa is a closeted actor

It sounds to me like he's [Tony Siragusa] got some pent-up latent actor tendencies. It's like homophobes are usually, secretly, they have homosexual tendencies. So it sounds like Tony's just a closeted actor. A closeted thespian.

Hot TakePop CultureHotSarcastic
Siragusa did have several acting credits, as noted in the quote, making the 'closeted' part a humorous exaggeration of his existing bit-part career.

Janet Jackson is selfish for canceling her tour to have a family

She cancels her fucking show because she says she wants to have a family, and she wants to concentrate on that with her husband. ... Selfish. She cancels her show for some dick. ... Not only did she cancel her show, she didn't refund her fans the tickets that they bought.

Jackson did delay her 'Unbreakable' tour in April 2016 to plan a family. The refund status varied by venue, though many were rescheduled rather than canceled immediately.
