Christopher Walken's Quote About Never Owning A Cellphone Is Going Viral
The octogenarian explained to the Wall Street Journal how he pretty much doesn't *do* technology, and that quote is going viral on social media.
"I don't have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I've seen 'Severance' on DVDs that they're good enough to send me," he said. "I don't have a cell phone. I've never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered."
I love how he just said, "I don't have technology," as if technology is an attribute you can have.
This isn't the first time he's talked about his lack of tech! In 2020, Walken explained that sometimes on movie sets he's given a cellphone as some sort of tracking device, saying, "Sometimes on a movie they'll give me a cell phone, but it's more so that they can find me… like a tracking collar. If I want to use it, someone has to dial it for me, that kind of thing."
Anyway, the man is surely onto something. I would kill to be that naive!
Bye!

Jimmy Kimmel Just Subtly Dragged Donald Trump's Cancellation Threats
Let's do a quick recap of the late-night cancellation drama. So, as you know, Colbert was canceled last week. Then Trump celebrated that. "I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired." Then he made an entire post about Jimmy Kimmel: "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone." "It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!" Wellll, Kimmel responded on Instagram with a repost of Trump's "Truth" or whatever you call it: That was captioned: "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret." That "wonderful secret" part is in reference to an alleged birthday card the Wall Street Journal obtained from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, signed: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." The comment section is a sea of support for Kimmel. "Jimmy Kimmel, I hope you never retire!" one person wrote. Another person said, "I don't think it's the late night hosts who need to go." And Andy Cohen commented with a simple, "she's startin.'"
