'Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
Listening to Las Culturistas, hosted by longtime BFFs Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, is like hanging out with your hippest, most hilarious, most in-the-know friends who also happen to have a direct line to your favorite celebrities. In the nine years since launching the show, Rogers and Yang have discussed the joy of making music with Lady Gaga, gay lakes with Cole Escola, and bad veneers with Chappell Roan. Each episode ends with them holding space for their guests to air their grievances in a recurring segment called 'I Don't Think So, Honey,' in which the likes of Charli XCX, Mike Birbiglia, and Mariah Carey are given 60 seconds to rant about their personal bugaboos. (They are also the hosts of their own annual over-the-top send-up of awards shows where, in 2023, the Cate Blanchett Award for Good Acting went to, well, Cate Blanchett, who sent in a brilliantly performed pretaped acceptance speech.) The duo also share their brutally honest takes on pop culture, current events, and their own personal lives. Though, as Tina Fey warned them last year, as the pair's popularity grows outside of the pod thanks to turns in popular movies like Wicked (Yang) and TV shows such as SNL (Yang, again) and Overcompensating (both Rogers and Yang), they may want to start keeping some of their opinions to themselves. Lucky for us, they have not totally reined it in just yet. Of course, Las Culturista fans, better known as 'Readers,' would expect nothing less than pure unadulterated chaos from Rogers and Yang, who have always preferred to serve their tea piping hot.

Dog Goes Viral Waiting For Treats From 94-Year-Old Neighbor Following Death
One particular dog has been going viral on social media platforms including TikTok and X for a very heartbreaking reason. It's something many dog lovers have heard about, but now it's caught on video that one dog has been waiting for their 94-year-old neighbor to stop by just like she used to – even after her death. The dog, named Honey, is owned by Abigail Morrow. A routine was created between Honey and her 94-year-old neighbor who would stop by and offer the dog treats and pets. This routine happened every morning up until the 94-year-old's death. Though this didn't stop Honey from waiting by the fence each day. The 94-year-old neighbor, named Edna, did have the opportunity to tell Honey goodbye prior to her death. This was explained on a post via X. Apparently Edna's family informed Abigail about her failing health and how she wanted Honey to visit her at the time. 'They did actually get to say goodbye to each other, which was the sweetest thing. Her family texted us when she had gotten pretty sick. They texted us and asked if we could bring Honey. Honey got to give her lots of sniffs and lots of kisses on the hand and say goodbye to her friend. So they really did have just such a special bond.' Dog looks for its 94 year old neighbor and best friend who sadly passed away. The dog's owner says their neighbor would bring treats and spend time with the dog every day. 'They did actually get to say goodbye to each other, which was the sweetest thing. Her family texted us… — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) July 31, 2025 Similarly, on TikTok, Edna's granddaughter, Susan, commented on the video of Edna and Honey to express how grateful she was to see their bond recorded. While Susan confessed she is 'now crying' as a result, it's something she loved to see and she further emphasized how much Edna loved Abigail's 'fur baby' Honey: 'Thank you for capturing this. I am now crying, but my grandma loved your fur baby so much,' she said. @abigail_morrow I know she's in heaven now 🕊️ she was the sweetest neighbor we've ever had #memories #sweetdog #wholesome #crying #inheaven #emotional ♬ What Was I Made For? [From The Motion Picture 'Barbie'] – Billie Eilish It's certainly a sad story but one that's bittersweet and a true example of how loyal a dog can be. At the very least, it's nice knowing that Edna had the opportunity to say goodbye to Honey. Now that's a true friendship story. As of this writing, Abigail's viral TikTok video with her dog and Edna has more than 34 million views.

31 "Beloved" Celebs People Think Are Actually Terrible
A while back, Reddit user brody0628 asked, "What is a celebrity everyone loves but you think is insufferable?" and people had some stronggggg opinions. Here are celebrities they think are actually bad people — along with some responses from the BuzzFeed Community and this Reddit thread. "Nick Cannon. The fact that the internet makes jokes about how many kids he has or tries to paint him as a good father because he takes his kids to Disney World is disgusting! He couldn't even remember the names of all his kids when asked. Most, if not all, of his kids are going to grow up having no relationship with him." "John Lennon. I know he's been dead for 40 years, but man, he was such a shit person." "John Stamos. He looks like a wax museum version of himself and it seems like his ego is as big as his Disney collection." —jessethecowgirlStamos also once told a story about convincing a woman she was having sex with him when it was really his friend:"[In the mid-eighties] I was in a band. I was playing somewhere in Finland, and there was a girl hanging around who was really drunk and interested in me. I wasn't into her, but my friend was. So the girl came back to my hotel, and I turned the lights down, and we started making out. I said, 'Hold on a second, I've gotta go brush my teeth.' It was dark, I left the room, and I sent in my friend who looked like me. And she thought she was having sex with me, but she was really having sex with my friend."Suggested by jeramoo "Whoopi. She's the boomerest boomer to ever exist. Has no empathy for younger generations and is constantly telling struggling millennials/Gen Z people they don't have it that bad." "Jackie Chan: Hong Kong-born but pro-Beijing. That's enough for me." "Brad Pitt isn't the stand-up guy he portrays! Maybe it was the story about him ... [allegedly] being abusive to his wife in front of his children that turned me off. Definitely not something a nice guy would do!" —quizzydog27 [Editor's note: You can read more about the plane assault allegations here, but Jolie did eventually drop the lawsuit. Pitt has denied there was any physical violence.]Pitt also dated Juliette Lewis when she was 17, and he was a decade by re89245 "I've disliked Jimmy Fallon since his SNL days when it felt like he'd break character in a sketch to get a bigger laugh. Ruffling Donald Trump's hair during his interview pretty much turned me off of him for good." —rachelc43 "Far worse is Jimmy Kimmel — he 'pranks' his family on his show, but they all seem to really hate it. I had to stop watching him during the Trump presidency because all he could do on his show was make 'fat jokes.' Trump does a million wild things; stop making the same cringey and offensive jokes from the early '90s! And if you have any doubts, look up The Man Show — absolutely horrific." —bric4349cd9f2 "Owen Wilson, a seemingly good dad to his sons, [is allegedly a] deadbeat father to his daughter: he underwent a paternity test, still refuses to meet her, and just threw money at her (he dated the child's mother on and off for five years)." —bigfinsquidWilson has not responded to these claims beyond a rep saying, 'This is a private matter, and it's not appropriate to comment further.' "Not to speak ill of the dead, but Kobe and the whole rape allegation. ... Not sure why people are so wild about him." "Matthew Broderick. Another example of rich people just not having to face consequences. For anyone that doesn't know, In 1987, he was driving during a head-on collision with another car, which killed a mother and daughter. He paid the equivalent of $175 and served no time." "Jerry Seinfeld. So many people seem to love him, and his show was wildly successful, but I can't stand him at all." "Steven Tyler, for [allegedly] convincing parents to sign a 14-year-old over to him. Then ... dumping her back on their doorstep at 17." —metal_jesterSome more info: Tyler actually admitted to having sex with a minor in his memoir. 'She was 16, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn't a hair on it," Tyler wrote. He was 26 at the time. He also wrote, 'Her parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn't get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour." It's likely that Tyler is referring to Julia Holcomb, who sued him in 2022 for sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress back in the '70s. She says that Tyler persuaded her mother to sign over guardianship to him. Holcomb also says in court documents that she became pregnant and Tyler made her have an though not directly named in the suit, denied these claims, said their relationship was consensual, and claimed immunity because he was her legal guardian then, calling for the suit to be dismissed. Similarly..."I always find it weird that Anthony Kiedis from The Red Hot Chili Peppers admitted to having sex with a child in his autobiography, and barely a word is said about it." —bgar1432Some more info: Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote about having sex with a 14-year-old in his autobiography Scar Tissue. The girl — who reportedly inspired the song "Catholic School Girls Rule" — came backstage at his concert, and the two had sex. According to Keidis, she then continued on with the band to Baton Rouge. After their show, the girl revealed that she was 14 and her father was the chief of police in her town, adding that "the entire state of Louisiana" was looking for her because she'd been reported said he wasn't scared "because, in my somewhat deluded mind, I knew that if she told the chief of police she was in love with me, he wasn't going to have me taken out to a field and shot, but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time.' He was in his mid-20s at the time. "Prince. He met his ex-wife when she was sixteen (and later declared he knew he was going to marry her right then) and then put her on birth control at nineteen after they had 'a really deep friendship' (yeah right) for three years." "[According to her,] he later made her do an interview soon after their son died, threw that son's ashes away, ... and dumped her by the time she was 26. I love the man's music, but I wish people would talk more about the hell he put Mayte Garcia through."—ToasterGuacamoleWrap "John Mulaney. He was so funny and really killing it. But what he did to his ex-wife is so terrible." —prodigalpunSome more info: Mulaney filed for divorce from Anna Marie Tendler in July 2021, after which point she released a statement reading that she was "heartbroken that John has decided to end [their] marriage." It was reported they'd broken up in February 2021, though Mulaney later claimed he'd asked for a divorce in October 2020. In September 2021, Mulaney revealed that he had been dating Olivia Munn since the spring (right off the heels of his time in rehab), and that Munn was pregnant with their child, despite the fact that Mulaney had been open about not wanting children. Mulaney has since credited Munn and their child in his recovery journey. "Doja Cat has been problematic. Even before she blew up commercially, she was being accused of racism — against Black people. Ngl, I like some of her songs, but there's a lot of mental dissociation involved for me. Sometimes I don't like being aware of this shit because this is why we can't have nice things." —pbbtDoja denied participating in racist conversations and apologized for her behavior in chat rooms when she was younger. "Oprah was basically the O.G. Jerry Springer and pioneered that genre of shock-garbage-emotional-manipulation TV. Now she's interviewing Prince Harry like she's Barbara fucking Walters or something. I don't get it." "Nicki Minaj, and thankfully everyone's finally starting to get it. All this information came out back in, like, 2021, and it somehow got swept under the rug. I never got good feelings from her." "Drake is creepy, the way he befriends young teen girls! That's a weird thing for a grown ass man to do." "I can't stand Kevin Hart. He's not funny, and his stand-up shows are forced laughter in a nutshell." "Tom Cruise. Scientology." "Gwyneth Paltrow. She can Goop right outta here." "Julia Roberts." "Fred Armisen. Of that SNL era I like pretty much everyone else; he just deeply skeeves me out for some reason." "Bill Murray. I don't hate him, but for some reason the internet thinks he is God's gift to comedy. He's alright, but he's nowhere close to the idol that the internet makes him out to be." "I know I'll get hate for this but Jim Carrey. I find the guy totally obnoxious! He seems like he's got one schtick and that's all he knows." "Leonardo DiCaprio. He seems like such a creep." "Paul Walker. He...[reportedly] dated a 16-year-old in his 30s." "Johnny Depp. I think he's overhyped. Used to be a fan, but the last decade he lost his shine for me." And finally, "Drew Barrymore." What "beloved" celebrity do you think is actually a bad person? Let us know in the comments.
