Armie Hammer Revealed What Happened When He Tried To Hook Up With A Man Once, And I'm At A Loss For Words
Armie Hammer"tried hooking up with a dude one time," and he spilled all the details, whether you want to hear it or not.
In 2021, the Call Me by Your Name actor faced numerous accusations from women of physical abuse and sexual assault. However, in May 2023, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office determined there wasn't enough evidence for him to face charges.
Armie denied all the allegations but was still dropped by his agency, WME, and fired from all his TV and film projects in 2021. Only recently has The Social Network actor slowly attempted a comeback with his own podcast and the Western movie Frontier Crucible on the horizon.
On Monday's episode of The Armie HammerTime Podcast, Armie revealed to mental health coach Dani Druz that he hooked up with a man once, which did "absolutely nothing" for him. "I tried hooking up with a dude one time, and it was hilarious," he said.
"I was like, women are the worst," Armie continued. "Gay dudes seem to have it so easy. Like, so easy."
"I'm at a restaurant, my phone blows up, and it's, like, Grindr and someone else is like, 'I'm at the same restaurant. Do you want a blowjob in the bathroom? And you're like, 'Hey, guys. I'll be back in five minutes,'" he said.
"And then you get up and you go to the bathroom, you get a blowjob, and you come back, and they're like, 'What was that?' And you're like, 'I don't know, some guy just sucked my dick.' I don't know. I didn't get his name. Anyway, what'd you order?'"
"So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna give this a try...maybe this actually works for me," Armie explained to Dani.
He had met a "handsome, French" man.
"I was like, Okay, this could work. This could work. Let's try this," Armie said. "I remember I started making out with him. And I just remember being like, 'God, beards. I get why women like it when you shave. This thing is fucking rough."
"I put my arms around him, and I was like, oh my god," Armie continued. "And these shoulders are so wide. He's so big. Like, he's almost my height. Like, this is so strange."
"And it did, physically, for me, absolutely nothing. Not even a twitch... And then I remember, like, we were, like, making out, and it was kinda getting hotter and heavier. But I was, like, going through the motions...he reached for my dick, and I was like, 'You're not gonna touch my flaccid penis. This is not going to happen. I'm sorry.'"

So, based on Armie's story, are broad shoulders and a beard absolute deal breakers? But is being French okay? Hmmm... that tracks.
In my honest opinion, Armie's revelation would be more shocking if only he wasn't telling a story that is so tragically true of the dating world between sexually curious men.
Believe it or not, this is only a few minutes of a 2-hour podcast episode. If you're brave enough, you can watch the full episode here.

Paige Lorenze's Dairy Boy is Releasing an Evergreen Collection
Paige Lorenze is smart. When she first created those iconic Dairy Boy hats in 2021, nobody could have predicted that it would turn into what we know the brand to be today in all of its multi-drop, Instagram-famous, sell-out-in-minutes fame. But that was never the final vision for Paige. I sat down with the longtime creator to talk about the process of ushering the brand into its new, full-fledged fashion era, and one thing was clear: Her next goal is that Dairy Boy takes on a life of its own. "If someone buys something from us and has no idea who I am, that's awesome,' she tells me. "I want to be recognized as the girl who owns Dairy Boy, not just Paige. That's way cooler to me.' Ironically I am, in fact, allergic to dairy, but Dairy Boy isn't just for the horseback riders and ranch dwellers (and milk drinkers) of the world. This new collection, the first non-drop Dairy Boy launch, is a step towards Paige's bigger vision for the brand—it's as much for her long-time supporters as it is for the casual shopper who didn't know to set their alarm for a minute before the drop hits the site. It's a collection that'll be available to purchase anytime someone searches 'Dairy Boy' out of curiosity. It's something more permanent, pieces you'll return to again and again, infused with the same Western cowgirl meets New England equestrian charm. If you're itching for a peek before the collection officially launches on September 4 at 11 A.M., keep scrolling for a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming AW25 collection, along with exclusive details on Paige's go-to vintage inspiration, her thoughts on taking Dairy Boy international, and whether she'd ever do a bridal collection. I always knew what I wanted this collection to be, that this is where the brand was going. I was envisioning these pieces when I originally started the brand. But it's a big undertaking, which requires a good team. It's a lot of outerwear, fleeces, jackets, and flannels. Sporty but also vintage-inspired and a little preppy. It's inspired by who I am as a person, my background and upbringing and the things I love. It's amazing that people were following Dairy Boy even when we didn't have that product to offer because the drops kept selling out, and now I finally will have product that mirrors the imagery on our socials and mirrors that feeling of nostalgia and sport and movement. It's exciting to see it finally come together! Probably eight months from sketch to the final product. I had a mood board of exactly what I wanted and I brought in an amazing new designer, Maddie Pesavento, who has tons of experience. I gave all the designers that I interviewed a little project, and it was so clear to me that Maddie understood what I was trying to do. The whole process takes a long time but these are pieces that I want to live in. I've worn them a lot to make sure they lasted, because I wasn't willing to sacrifice the type of materials we were using, but I needed it to be in a certain price point. And I am a very active person, so if I couldn't go horseback riding or skiing or hiking in this stuff and have it hold up, then it wasn't gonna make the collection. The wear test was a big part of the collection. Definitely. That's just authentic! Like, I'm wearing this stuff. I'm constantly teasing all of my products and it's unintentionally become part of the rollout, which is exciting. Plus, anyone who's subscribed on YouTube gets to see the behind the scenes process, which makes things inherently more personal. It's not just a piece of clothing that they love, it's also a piece that they got to see brought to life. There's a cool emotional connection. I think people want to buy from people, you know? The buffalo check fleece is probably my favorite. It's so good. I love the fact that it's pink, and then it has this vintage patch, and it doesn't cinch at the waist like a lot of fleeces do but it has a more menswear fit. So it's this fine line between looking like something you'd steal from your dad, but in a fun shade of pink. The whole collection is really detail-oriented. I talk to my team a lot about how typically, if you want something really special that has unique little details, it feels like you have to spend over $400 now. And that, to me, is a shame. What we're trying to do is create an experience where, when you order from Dairy Boy, you're so pleasantly surprised by how detail-oriented and thoughtful everything is. I love old Oakley and Patagonia. A lot of the old hiking brands like Filson and vintage Wrangler. Obviously Ralph Lauren. Princess Diana is always on the mood board. But also, the woman that inspired this collection most were the women that I grew up with. I went to school in Vermont, and the moms of my friends were always wearing cool outdoorsy shoes, no makeup, always gardening or hiking. They were just so confident and I'd always see them in these in-between moments, going from dropping off their kids to heading to the garden. They're getting their hands dirty. These older women in my life inspired this collection a lot. They're active and they're confident and they got their hands dirty. They inspired me the most. There's such an aura around women using great clothing to do the thing it's designed for. It's something I try to be careful about. Like, I own horses, but I don't want to do a shoot at my barn if I'm wearing a bunch of stuff I would never ride in. That Kate Moss photo had that aura for the same reason. And consumers these days are incredibly smart and can tell when something doesn't feel authentic, so we try to be very thoughtful about making sure that the storytelling is accurate. If we are doing a horse shoot, I'm actually wearing my riding stuff and I'm actually going for a ride after. You can't be slick with people on the internet. I think the brands that are trying to do that will have a hard time growing with their audience. It's brutal out here. It's not like that's an easy part of the job, but I'm listening to my customer. If you're not having a constant conversation with your customer, what's the point? They always say the brand is what the customer says it is, not what you say it is. I think the customer that keeps coming back really loves the marketing, at least at first. The visuals are what drew them to the brand in the first place, but then they're pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. I hope they feel like they're part of something bigger than just the clothes, that there's an emotional connection. I think you could wear one of our fleeces and feel like in a way, you're becoming the woman I described that we look up to. That you feel empowered in it. I think lifestyle brands should do that. I want to make clothes that are powerful like that. A hundred percent. You articulated that perfectly. These clothes are all really easy and really comfortable, and those are the best clothes to me. I love wearing something really snatched every once in awhile, maybe when I'm in the city, but wearing something that feels good and looks good while running your daily errands is the best. This is going to be our core, but we're still going to continue to do drops that are more limited. We're designing a really exciting Christmas collection with some very cool jackets, like puffy jackets with horses on them. We'll have a really fun summer drop that's more limited, but maintaining that evergreen collection. Because to me, a real shame of the past few years is that anyone who was curious about the brand in passing has not been able to experience the brand. Being like, "Oh, what's Dairy Boy?" and not being able to find items that they can experience because they didn't log on at 11. I've missed out on all those customers and I think that that's a really important customer. We'll maintain the excitement with more of these capsule drops that might be more fun and risky. And once we get this really dialed in, I'm excited to expand internationally, too. First and foremost, honestly, I just want Tommy [Paul] to be able to come [to my NYC pop-up in Soho]. Tennis players don't have an off season so I wanted to schedule it at a time where like he could be there and we could celebrate such a big moment for my brand together. But also, we've been together for three years and I've just had so much fun creating around tennis as an ex-athlete, as someone whose mom played tennis, and as someone who now is a huge fan of the sport. There is just such a cool aura to these tournaments. I've drawn so much inspiration from tennis, so timing it around the US Open felt like I could make some product that was tennis-inspired and it would like have some nice synergy. We're going to have a few US Open pieces at the pop-up this year. Yes! We made a dress in the same pattern. It's obviously more country and more casual because it's plaid instead of silk, but it's the same body as the one I wore for Wimbledon. And then we have three tennis sweatshirts that are vintage-inspired. We've had so much success with those. It's been incredible. I did not expect people to love the tennis stuff as much as they have. But it also makes sense because there's an authentic tie to it, we're not just slapping a random sport on a sweatshirt. We're in the process of designing for Spring/Summer next year, and we are definitely doing a bridal-inspired collection. I don't want to cut the non-brides out of it, but think of a collection that's just really beautiful with white pieces that you can wear all summer. When I got engaged, everyone was commenting, 'I need a bridal collection!' so I took it to my design team. I'm really excited about it, even if you are not getting married, white's a great summer color. Totally. We're also thinking about doing some slip dresses and some lace and some underwear and bras and pajamas and robes. So I agree. I feel like it will land well. I'm really excited about it. I'll keep you posted! It's all the things that I love. I've always wanted to do an ice cream truck. It just makes so much sense. One time I did a pop-up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and so many girls thanked me for doing a pop-up there because brands often bypass the suburbs. The girls felt like we really cared about them, and I think that's really sweet. And Dairy Boy is about the country coming to the city, so I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and have a way for girls who can't come to the pop-up to experience the brand. All the ice cream is free, and we're driving the truck from my hometown all the way down to the city and making stops along the way. I think she'd be so excited for me. I've always felt like I had a calling to do something like this, something creative and community-oriented. I think she would be proud that I stuck through the trials that come with owning a brand and being in the public eye. I was a creator way before TikTok, so I didn't really fall into it accidentally. I chased what I wanted pretty fiercely, and I feel like I'm in my calling, which is really cool. Being a creator is such an odd job. I don't think it's natural to share your whole life online. I don't think it's natural to get that much feedback good and bad, or get your life picked apart or go through relationships online. But I still feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm proud of myself for sticking through that and coming out the other side and creating something like this. I feel like everything is falling into place, but I'm really excited for a year from now where I've had a core collection for a year. I'm excited for when it's no longer like, oh, Paige and this influencer brand Dairy Boy. I want it to be this cool, authentic brand with good quality clothes that's way bigger than me. And I know that I can do that because of how good Dairy Boy is and how good my team is. I'm excited for the brand to grow without me, without necessarily having me attached to it. I have a collection that I'm really proud of that's not just a drop model, and it's just beginning now. If someone buys something from us and has no idea who I am, that's awesome. I want to be recognized as the girl who owns Dairy Boy, not just Paige. That's way cooler to me. The Dairy Boy AW25 collection will be available to purchase on September 4 at 11 A.M. EST. The collection will range from $25 to $185 and will be available in sizes XS-XXL.

Travis Kelce Shared His Favorite Colognes 2025
Travis Kelce looks like someone who'd smell good, right? There's a suave, cool factor about him that exudes a vibe that he rocks a sexy cologne, ya know. Maybe it's that he's really into his style and always looks pretty good (mustache included). Or it's his loud personality, on and off the field. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone spending that much time with Taylor Swift could smell anything less than fantastic. But I don't actually have to guess anymore, since Travis broke down his go-to perfumes and a love story (pun intended) for cologne in a video with GQ. "Gotta have the cologne," Travis says, outlining his essentials. He loves spritzing and trying new scents in "smell good stores," as he calls 'em. "It's all trial and error; it's whatever you feel like," he adds. "Who doesn't love smelling good?" Travis continues. And I couldn't agree more. But even if you can't afford Trav's $$$$ picks (four dollar signs is intentional here—his favorite cologne, Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, clocks in at $245 for a 1.7 oz bottle), you can glean quite a bit of fragrance wisdom from the three-time Super Bowl winner. He's full of surprises! "You gotta have more than just one, ladies and gentleman," says Travis. He's got three favorite colognes and believes you've gotta have variety. And I couldn't agree more, as a fragrance-obsessed beauty editor. Having a collection of different scents that work with your distinct moods, occasions, and seasons helps you feel more put-together, just by spritzing on a perfume. "Obviously, there are certain smells that just match the fit perfectly, whether it's a dinner night or you're going out with your friends or just going to work," he explains. Key notes: Pear, bergamot, ginger, orange blossom, musk, cedar Key notes: Lychee, bergamot, ginger, peony, rose, cacao, patchouli Key notes: Bergamot, galbanum, ginger, solar notes, sandalwood, cedarwood And Travis is a fan of perfume layering too. "Sometimes you can mix and match if they smell good together," he says. It makes sense: His three faves all share a few notes in common (Travis loves ginger, bergamot, and woods, evidently), so they flow easily with each other if you layer one with the other. Fragrance is for everyone, and the idea of "perfumes for women" and "colognes for men" is seriously outdated. Even Travis agrees! One of his go-to Louis Vuitton scents, Attrape-Rêves (which he wholesomely couldn't pronounce because he "failed French freshman year"), is actually marketed as a "woman's scent." But I totally see why Travis loves it. It's a floral perfume that's grounded by earthy patchouli and warm cacao, but opens with bright lychee, bergamot, and ginger. I get it: He likes unique takes on woody, warm scents (especially if they've got ginger in there). With that in mind, I bet he'd love Taylor Swift Wonderstruck... IDK if Travis just loves his Louis Vuitton heritage print or if he's actually a serious fraghead. But there's more than just a cute reason behind his Louis cases. Actually, these are fantastic for protecting your perfumes. Listen, the juice in your bottles is fragile, and too much heat or sun exposure can change the scent. Not something you want when you're spending a whole lotta money. If you keep your perfumes on a tray on your vanity, consider a case. Louis Vuitton's are stunning for their specific scents if you also have the budget of a champion. Personally, I like to keep my precious scents in a leather vanity case, and I've moved many of my others away from the window.

GV GALLERY® TheGv Gallery Shop Official Clothing Store
In the rapidly evolving world of streetwear, few names have managed to carve out a unique identity with as much flair and authenticity as GV Gallery Known for its raw aesthetic, artistic expression, and urban storytelling, GV Gallery has become more than just a clothing brand — it's a canvas for creativity. While their hoodies and outerwear have long drawn admiration from streetwear enthusiasts, the GV Gallery shorts deserve equal recognition for their role in shaping the brand's identity. These shorts aren't just seasonal add-ons; they are statement pieces that carry the DNA of the GV Gallery ethos — bold, raw, and undeniably stylish. Let's take a closer look at what makes GV Gallery shorts such an essential piece in today's streetwear rotation. The GV Gallery Philosophy: Art Meets Street To understand GV Gallery shorts, it's important to understand the mindset behind the brand. GV Gallery operates at the intersection of fashion and fine art, drawing influence from gritty urban landscapes, abstract visuals, and underground culture. Each piece from the brand feels like a walking canvas — and their shorts are no exception. The design language is anything but basic. GV Gallery doesn't believe in minimalism for the sake of trendiness. Instead, it focuses on storytelling — through prints, fabric texture, shape, and color. This makes every pair of shorts not just apparel, but a visual narrative. Design and Aesthetic: Loud Yet Thoughtful GV Gallery shorts are visually bold — often sporting striking graphics, embroidered motifs, or screen-printed artwork that draws the eye. Whether it's graffiti-inspired illustrations, distorted logos, cryptic typography, or surreal visuals, the shorts always bring something unexpected. You might find a pair featuring: Oversized silhouettes that channel a 90s skate vibe. that channel a 90s skate vibe. All-over prints inspired by abstract art or dystopian themes. inspired by abstract art or dystopian themes. Appliqués and patchwork that make the piece feel hand-touched. that make the piece feel hand-touched. Muted earth tones contrasted with splashes of neon or chaotic graphics. One of the most standout aspects is the way GV Gallery balances chaotic visuals with clean construction. While the prints and messages might be wild, the cuts remain wearable — boxy but flattering, comfortable but intentional. Fabric and Quality: Not Just for Looks Many emerging streetwear brands focus so heavily on visuals that they forget about wearability — but GV Gallery delivers on both fronts. Their shorts are typically constructed from premium materials like heavy cotton, French terry, and durable twill, providing that satisfying balance between softness and structure. Some common traits of GV Gallery shorts include: Heavyweight GSM fabric that feels substantial, not flimsy. that feels substantial, not flimsy. Reinforced stitching and quality trims like custom drawstrings or metal hardware. and quality trims like custom drawstrings or metal hardware. Breathable weaves that make the shorts ideal for summer, festivals, or layering with leggings or thermals in colder weather. The construction ensures the shorts hold their shape after repeated wear, making them a long-term addition to any streetwear fan's wardrobe. Streetwear with Purpose: Messaging and SymbolismWhat separates GV Gallery from more generic streetwear lines is its unapologetic use of art as a medium for social commentary. Their shorts often carry cryptic phrases, layered meanings, or distressed textures that hint at deeper cultural critiques. Whether it's questioning the nature of consumerism, addressing mental health, or exploring identity, the visuals are never random. Even a simple logo can be twisted, glitched, or fragmented — giving it an almost rebellious energy. This is streetwear with a message, not just aesthetics. Some designs come with hidden symbols or layered typography that encourages the wearer (and the observer) to think beyond fashion. Wearing GV Gallery shorts becomes a form of self-expression, allowing people to show their worldview without saying a word. Fit and Versatility: From Runway to Sidewalk Another defining trait of GV Gallery shorts is their versatility. While the brand leans toward street fashion, the pieces often blend well with high fashion or casual wear. Whether paired with a tucked-in graphic tee, an oversized hoodie, or a statement jacket, these shorts work across a variety of aesthetics. The fit tends to be relaxed — sitting slightly above the knee or baggy and longline, depending on the collection. This allows for: Layered looks (e.g., compression shorts underneath) (e.g., compression shorts underneath) High-top sneaker pairings Street skater aesthetics Even runway-inspired avant-garde fits Some models come with elastic waistbands, adjustable toggles, or utility-style cargo pockets — functional touches that elevate the look beyond just fashion into streetwear utility. Gender Fluidity and Cultural Appeal GV Gallery shorts, like much of the brand's offering, are gender-neutral. They challenge traditional norms and make it easy for anyone, regardless of identity, to embrace the designs. The silhouettes, graphics, and cuts aren't tied to one type of body or gender expression — they encourage freedom in both style and identity. This inclusivity has helped GV Gallery build a global following. From London to Tokyo, New York to Berlin, fashion-forward youth gravitate toward the brand because it feels authentic — a rare trait in an era of overhyped, overpriced streetwear with little substance. Celebrity Endorsements and Influence While GV Gallery remains grounded in underground aesthetics, it's started to gain traction in mainstream culture too. Artists, musicians, and influencers — particularly those involved in the alternative, punk, and hip-hop scenes — have been spotted wearing the brand's iconic shorts. These organic endorsements have helped boost visibility, but GV Gallery hasn't gone down the path of oversaturation. Unlike fast-fashion streetwear brands that burn out fast, GV Gallery seems committed to a slow-burn rise, ensuring that quality, message, and integrity stay at the forefront. Limited Drops and Community Culture GV Gallery shorts are often released as part of limited seasonal drops, which builds anticipation and keeps the community engaged. The scarcity of the items adds to their desirability — but GV doesn't play the exclusivity game the way some brands do. The community that follows GV Gallery is tight-knit and built around shared values of art, expression, and rebellion. Buying and wearing GV Gallery shorts isn't about flexing wealth or status — it's about aligning with a creative movement. Final Thoughts: Why GV Gallery Shorts Matter In a sea of copy-paste streetwear brands, GV Gallery shorts stand out not just for their design, but for what they represent. They fuse art and fashion, creativity and utility, rebellion and elegance. With a unique eye for storytelling, the brand elevates a simple piece of clothing — shorts — into a wearable work of art. For anyone looking to go beyond trends and wear something with character, depth, and identity, GV Gallery shorts are more than a worthy choice — they're an investment in culture. If you're building a wardrobe that reflects not just how you look but what you believe in, GV Gallery's shorts are a must-have. They don't just complete your outfit; they tell your story.
