Natasha Lyonne assures us she has more teeth than her ‘Smurfs' movie character
The 'Poker Face' star stopped by 'The Tonight Show' on Thursday and told Jimmy Fallon how she initially received the request to be in the new kids' movie via email and jokingly responded that she sent a 'reply all (saying) sure, who doesn't (want to be in a 'Smurfs' movie)?'
Lyonne went on to explain that the filmmakers later informed her that Rihanna plays the 'adorable Smurfette, a hot little blonde number,' who is also rather famously the only female Smurf in the village of little blue creatures originally based on the Belgian comic from 1958.
Fallon replied, 'Oh, Rihanna is Smurfette?' by way of confirmation, to which Lyonne responded, 'Turns out, I'm not.'
'I'm a character called Mama Poot,' she continued, adding that the character they showed her was 'a hairball with one bottom snaggle tooth, not even a top (tooth).'
'They're looking at me like, 'Isn't this charming that you guys seem so similar,'' Lyonne said of the filmmaking team.
'I said, 'Yeah, no, it's definitely going to help me get dates, I'm sure,'' she joked.
Fallon then showed a picture of Mama Poot, attesting to the character's cuteness, as the audience produced a mixture of 'awws' and befuddled laughter.
'And guys, it's not about this, but I just want to remind everyone that I have a full set of real teeth. And I'm really proud of that,' Lyonne quipped. 'Not Mama Poot, though!'
As for Smurfette Rihanna, there are no hard feelings, since Lyonne mentioned earlier in the chat that she 'is a huge fan' of the singer/actor/fashion mogul.
'Do you have her phone number by the way, because we don't seem to be in touch even though the movie is now complete,' Lyonne asked Fallon as an aside. 'We'll talk about that later.'
'Smurfs' is now playing in theaters.

YAHOO POLL: Has Fantastic Four revived the MCU for you?
The Fantastic Four: The First Steps had its world premiere on Monday (21 July) night and the first reactions to the film were generally positive. The film was under immense pressure and expectations, no doubt due to its troubled cinematic history. Its first iteration under 20th Century Fox in 2005 was a flop. A reboot in 2015, also under 20th Century Fox, reimagined Marvel's First Family as a dark, gritty comic book film but it didn't fare better either.

However, Marvel can finally breathe a sigh of relief as, despite a steep drop at the box office in its second weekend, the film is sitting well with critics. If anything, the fact that it retained the top position in the second weekend is a testament to the strength of the film. Fantastic Four has garnered an 86 per cent rating with critics and a 92 per cent rating with audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. If it matters, Fantastic Four scored higher than James Gunn's Superman – which was released earlier in July. So, we want to hear from you – Has Fantastic Four revived the MCU for you?

37 Celebs Who Confessed Shocking Secrets That Range From Losing Their Virginity To Straight-Up Murder Allegations
an Instagram Live, Cardi B revealed that when she worked as a stripper, she used to invite men back to her hotel room and drug and rob them. When this video resurfaced at the height of her fame, she wrote a response on Instagram, saying, "I never glorified the things I brought up in that live [video], I never even put those things in my music because I'm not proud of it." However, she wrote, "Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive." Dogg once revealed that he smoked weed in the White House. On his show GGN: The Double G News Network, he told Jimmy Kimmel that he excused himself to use the bathroom, telling the "alphabet boys" (the CIA or FBI) that he had to go "No. 2." He told them, "Look, when I do the No. 2, I usually, you know, have a cigarette or I light something to get the aroma right.' They said, 'You know what? You can light a piece of napkin.' I said, 'I'll do that.'" Indicated an imaginary blunt, he concluded with, "And the napkin was this." Call Her Daddy, Miley Cyrus revealed that she lost her virginity at age 16 to Liam Hemsworth, who she dated for a decade afterward. However, she also revealed that she'd lied to him, telling him she was not a virgin "so I didn't seem like a loser." She actually gave him a name — this man later ended up marrying Hemworth's friend when Miley was 24, at which time she finally told Hemsworth the truth. In the interview, Cyrus also revealed she had been initially attracted to women (Cyrus is pansexual), and that her first sexual experience was with two other women who she went "past first base" with. She also talked about her preference for women's bodies, at least when it comes to foreplay. her "Used to be Young" TikTok series, Cyrus also revealed more about her divorce from Hemsworth, saying she knew it was over with him just before going onstage at Glastonbury Festival in late June 2019. "Glastonbury was in June, which is when the decision had been made that me and Liam's commitment to being married really came from, of course, a place of love first — because we'd been together for 10 years — but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as we could," she said. "The day of the show was the day that I had decided that it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship. So that was another moment where the work, the performance, the character came first." "And I guess that's why it's now so important to me for that to not be the case — that the human comes first," she added, mentioning how she's always dealt with past trauma through performance and work, until the pandemic forced her to slow down. Related: 5.A few years after her divorce from Russell Brand, Katy Perry revealed to Vogue that he had ended their marriage via a text message. "Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011," she told the publication. She also revealed the heartbreaking moment she came to surprise him at one of his comedy shows, only to hear him making jokes about her, not knowing she was in the audience. However, Perry wouldn't reveal the "real truth" of why the relationship ended, which she found out after the fact, saying, "I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day." one of the most bizarre entries on this list is that Keith Richards once snorted his dad's ashes along with some cocaine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," he revealed in an interview. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a shit. It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." year, Dave Grohl admitted having had a child out of wedlock in an Instagram post, writing, "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together." 2011, Arnold Schwarzenegger similarly revealed that he'd fathered a child with a woman on his household staff — back in 2001. She was kept on the staff while Schwarzenegger reportedly paid for the child's care, claiming all the while it was her husband's child. Schwarzenegger did not reveal the truth to his then-wife, Maria Shriver, until after his term as governor ended. The two ended up splitting. Letterman also admitted his live TV after being extorted. In 2009, he found a box in his car with a letter that said, "I know you do some terrible things," and that the writer was working on a screenplay about Letterman. "He's going to take all this terrible stuff he knows about my life and put it in a movie unless I give him some money," Letterman later said the letter revealed. He was actually able to find out the identity of the blackmailer with the help of the Manhattan district attorney's office. CBS producer Robert J. "Joe" Halderman was arrested, and that very same night, Letterman went on his show and admitted, "Yes, I have had sex with women on my show." He was married at the time with a five-year-old child. one of the biggest celeb reveals of the last few years, Pusha T basically revealed the existence of Drake's secret son in the diss track "The Story of Adidon" in 2018. The song calls Drake a "deadbeat" and says he has a four-month-old son named Adonis that he was planning to reveal in an Adidas campaign that summer. Drake would ultimately confirm Adonis' existence months later on his album Scorpion. Bryan Bedder / Getty Images, Mark Blinch / Getty Images an interview for the 2003 documentary Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson admitted to sleeping in bed with young boys. "I've slept in the bed with many children. I'd sleep in the bed with all of them," he said. "When Macaulay Culkin [was] little, Kieran Culkin would sleep on this side, Macaulay Culkin's on this side. His sister's in there. We'd all just jam in the bed. And we'd wake up at dawn and go in the hot air balloon." When questioned on if this was "right," Jackson said, "It's very right, it's very loving. ... What's wrong with sharing the love?" He also said he had footage of them all sleeping together. On other occasions, Jackson denied sharing his bed with children, saying he'd slept on the floor: "I didn't sleep in the bed with the child. Even if I did, it's OK. I slept on the floor. I gave the bed to the child," he told 60 Minutes in 2003, the same year as the documentary referenced above. This was a bombshell revelation, given Jackson had settled in 1993 after being accused of child sexual abuse and was constantly plagued by rumors regarding his relationships with children. Jackson was later found "not guilty" in 2005 after another accusation, and the sexual abuse allegations continued after his death in 2009, most notably in the documentary Finding Neverland. unforgettable reveal comes from Frank Farian, a name you might not recognize. Back in the late '80s, R&B duo Milli Vanilli reached worldwide fame with their debut album, leading them to win the award for Best New Artist at the 1990 Grammy Awards. But producer Frank Farian soon revealed they didn't sing on their albums. When the two "singers" were confronted by the Los Angeles Times, member Rob Pilatus admitted it was true. "I feel like a mosquito being squeezed. The last two years of our lives have been a total nightmare. We've had to lie to everybody. We are true singers, but that maniac Frank Farian would never allow us to express ourselves," he said. The Grammys would then revoke their award and essentially end their careers.

She made this admission on an episode of her show Red Table Talk, with husband Will present. in 2023, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed on The Today Show that she and Will had been separated since 2016, living "completely separate lives." She later revealed that she and Will had not referred to each other as "husband" or "wife" in years — and that she was surprised to hear Will refer to her as his "wife" when he slapped Chris Rock. The Smiths apparently do not plan on divorcing. of Will admitted in his memoir Will that he once considered murdering his father. This came decades after witnessing his father punch his mother in his youth, "so hard that she collapsed." He continued, "I saw her spit blood," stating that the moment — and his failure to stand up for her — defined who he is. As an adult caring for his father, who had cancer, he thought again of this moment. "One night, as I delicately wheeled him from his bedroom toward the bathroom, a darkness arose within me. The path between the two rooms goes past the top of the stairs. As a child I'd always told myself that I would one day avenge my mother. That when I was big enough, when I was strong enough, when I was no longer a coward, I would slay him." He realized, at the top of the staircase, "I could shove him down, and easily get away with it." However, "As the decades of pain, anger, and resentment coursed then receded, I shook my head and proceeded to wheel Daddio to the bathroom." her memoir, Jessica Simpson admitted to having had an "emotional affair" with Johnny Knoxville. She was married to Nick Lachey at the time, though she said things never got physical. "But to me, an emotional affair was worse than a physical one," she wrote. "It's funny, I know, because I had placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage. After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. Johnny and I had that, which seemed far more of a betrayal to my marriage than sex." Spears also had a lot to reveal in her memoir, especially when it came to her relationship with Justin Timberlake. In the book, she confirmed the longstanding rumor that she had cheated on Timberlake, revealing she'd made out with Wade Robson one night, but also said he had already cheated on her multiple times in their relationship. also revealed that she'd had an abortion while the two were together and claimed she hadn't wanted to but that Justin had pushed her to abort. Harry had plenty to reveal in his memoir Spare, including that the first time he had sex was "a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion" and took place in a field behind a pub. He wrote, "I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away." Related: also revealed a story about getting frostbite on his penis after a charity expedition to the North Pole. His ears and cheeks also got frostbite, but quickly healed: "While the ears and cheeks were already healing, the todger wasn't. It was becoming more of an issue by the day," he wrote in the book. He tried using Elizabeth Arden cream, eventually giving in and going to a doctor when that didn't work. Unfortunately, he was still dealing with the issue at his brother William's famous wedding to Kate Middleton. more Prince Harry reveal from his book: he clarified old reports about him and William not being circumcised. "Mummy had forbidden it, they all said, and while it's absolutely true that the chance of getting penile frostbite is much greater if you're not circumcised, all the stories were false. I was snipped as a baby," he revealed. Grande once seemingly revealed the size of Pete Davidson's penis, tweeting that it was "10 inches." Davidson denied the rumors, calling them "simply not true" and saying that Ariana "has very little hands. Everything is f—ing huge to her." one of the more bizarre confessions in this post, Colin Farrell revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he was once an attempted murder suspect. During a "true confessions" game, he said that as a teenager, he'd been brought in for questioning about an attempted murder — which, by the way, was never solved — because he looked like the pencil sketch of the perpetrator. "I was in Sydney, Australia, and I was pulled in by the cops. And they showed me a photo of the pencil sketch of the guy that had attempted to murder this other gentleman, had beat him up and left him in his own apartment and set the apartment on fire and split, thereby leaving the guy to burn to death, and it was me. They said, what do you think about that picture? And I went, 'I think I'm in trouble,'" Farrell revealed. "Yeah, it was terrifying. I was there for about six hours, and then thankfully, a friend of mine had kept a journal, and that particular night, and that particular time, we were at a party on the other side of town doing Ecstasy." another bizarre confession, Kevin Gates once revealed he not only had sex with his cousin but continued a multiyear relationship with her. After the two were already sleeping together, he introduced her to his grandma, who revealed, "Baby, that's your cousin!" But, Gates continued, "I ain't about to stop! The damage has been done. I didn't know you my whole life. I just found this out. We've already been thuggin'. And we still good friends to this day." kind of iconically revealed that G-Eazy had cheated on her while performing onstage at SNL in 2019. During her performance of "Without Me," text appeared on the stage behind her, reading "I'm so sorry Ashley I cheated" with multiple places popping up, such as "At home in Los Angeles," and "In Minneapolis," along with "more places I can't even remember." Fans assumed this was in reference to Halsey's most recent ex. Schafer revealed that Dominic Fike had cheated on her during an episode of Call Her Daddy. She said she'd discovered his cheating by going through his phone, which she wasn't proud of. However, she chose not to go into more detail: "What happened with that was between me and him, and I want to keep it, and I want to protect that," she told host Alex Cooper. appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan Fox revealed the plastic surgeries that she's gotten done — a nose job and three boob jobs. She also said there's a third procedure that she's done, but she declined to say what it was. "There's one thing I had done that I'm gatekeeping because it was really good, and it's not a known plastic surgery. People don't even really know about it," she told Cooper. Jenner similarly admitted she had gotten lip fillers after long denying the rumors on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. She later told Complex she had been worried about being a bad influence on young fans and that she "didn't want people to think you had to get your lips done to feel good about yourself." She continued, "But they thought it was crazier that I was lying about it because it was so obvious. I wish I had just been honest and upfront." also having previously denied plastic surgery, Bella Hadid admitted to having had a nose job at 14 — and said she regretted it. "I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it," she said. However, she also said, "I have never used filler. Let's just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it's not for me. Whoever thinks I've gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it's called - it's face tape! The oldest trick in the book." Related: contrast, Heidi Montag revealed pretty much right away that she'd gotten plastic surgery at age 23. And not just one procedure — she'd gotten ten done in one day. "I think I look way better and I'm way happier," she told People. "Nobody ages perfectly, so I plan to keep using surgery to make me as perfect as I can be." Later, in 2018, she revealed she actually died for a minute as a result of the surgeries, scaring her husband, Spencer Pratt. "Spencer thought he lost me," she said. "My security guards called Spencer and told him, 'Heidi's heart stopped. She's not going to make it.' And I easily could've. Cutting yourself up isn't something I'd recommend." She has continued to express regret in later years, revealing she had long-term health complications and saying, "I was way too young to make such a life-changing decision." more Call Her Daddy example: Cole Sprouse admitted on the podcast that he'd lost his virginity at age 14. He was on a family vacation in Florida and "met this girl who was older." After initially making out the first night, he knocked on her hotel door the next night and invited her to the beach. There: "I finally mustered up enough courage to deliver a line that my brother has never, ever let down for me. I looked at her, and I was like: 'So are you, like, DTF?' She goes: 'What?' And I go: 'You know, down to fuck?'" They had to kick Cole's brother Dylan and a friend out of the room, and Cole told Dylan "to go play chess or something." Cole revealed he "lasted about 20 seconds and never talked to her again." Kutcher has also told the story of the first time he had sex. He called his first time "horrible" and "really awkward" and said that it happened "out in the woods with a girl I had just met" when he was only 15. "The whole thing lasted two seconds," he said. However, a couple of years later, he had sex with her again "just to show her the first performance was a fluke and I'd gotten better.' Malik admitted he wasn't sure if he'd ever been in love, despite having been engaged and sharing a child with Gigi Hadid after a long-term relationship. "When you ask me, 'What is love?' I think the reason that's hard for me to answer that question is I don't know if I've ever actually truly been in love," he said, waxing poetic about what love is. While he loves his child, he said, he wasn't sure he'd been "in love with somebody who is a complete separate entity. They're not my family. I have no blood with them, like, 'I'm in love with this person.' I don't know." "You can never really pinpoint, I think, what is love. There's ways you can show love. You can express it. That's our human understanding of it, but what is love? It's an intangible thing, right? We can't hold it in our hands. It's not something that exists," he said. Looking back at times he thought he'd been in love, he said, "Your perspective changes it, right? You look back on it with new eyes, and you're like, 'Well, maybe I wasn't in love there.' But that's time. So, is it love? Or is it life experience that we are going through? Who knows?" Shepherd similarly admitted in 2019 that he wasn't sure he wanted to be with Kristen Bell when they were first dating. "I never ever was like, 'Oh, I hope I can keep Kristen.' I was going, 'Do I want to be with a Christian, who has eight people living in her house for free, who has to get out of a car when there's a dog who doesn't have a leash and ruin her whole day to rescue this dog? That's great, and she's good, but that's not what I want to do," he said he thought. "I'm not that good. I don't want to spend my day finding the owner of a dog. So I wasn't fearful I would lose her. I wasn't certain I wanted to be with someone like that." also admitted that the two actually broke up a few months into dating and that Shepherd was seeing other people. "He sat me down and said, 'I can't have this right now. I think you're wonderful, but I am still dating other people.' And then I, like, liquefied and fell to the ground, but I felt incredibly respected that he had the balls to tell me we weren't in the same place." However, Shepherd changed his mind, calling Bell to tell her, "I don't know what I was thinking. I was dating someone else, but they're just not as interesting as you, and I don't know what I'm doing." Frankel admitted that she had never liked sex with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, saying on her podcast that she used to have to "force" herself to have sex with him. "He used to say to me, 'You're like a block of ice,' because I did not want to be intimate. I did not want to have sex," she said. "I used to force myself, gag myself through doing it…it is torture." finally, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but Chad Kroeger revealed years ago to Playboy that he'd once performed oral sex on himself.

Netflix just renewed ‘Wednesday' for season 3 — and there could be a spinoff
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's almost time to return to Nevermore, and Netflix is already looking even further ahead. With' Wednesday' season 2 just two weeks away, the streamer has wasted no time confirming that the macabre misadventures of Wednesday Addams are far from over. A third season has officially been greenlit, and if that wasn't enough for fans of the deadpan icon, there's even talk of a spinoff series set within the same spooky universe, according to The Hollywood Reporter. While exact details are still under wraps, co-creator Alfred Gough teased that the 'Wednesday' team is 'definitely noodling' with ideas. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, echoed that intrigue, hinting: 'There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family.' Whether that means we'll see more of the other family members or perhaps dive into someone new entirely, it's clear that this world is expanding. The early renewal comes as no surprise given the massive success of the first season, which broke viewership records and turned Jenna Ortega into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. With gothic flair, murder mysteries and a killer dance scene that went viral, 'Wednesday' clearly hit all the right notes and anticipation is sky-high for what's next. Ortega also offered a few words on season 2 when speaking with The Hollywood Reporter: 'Netflix has a lot more trust this time around. So we were able to do things on a grander scale and were able to spend more time on sequences. There are also a lot of new cast members like Steve Buscemi and Billie Piper, and doing a scene with them pushes you further because they're so gifted.' As for how long 'Wednesday' might continue, director Tim Burton isn't one to think too far ahead. 'I don't think that way,' he said when asked about the show's potential lifespan. 'You're talking to two of the worst people to ask that question.' Still, given the show's success and the franchise potential, it's clear Netflix sees this as more than just a passing phase. Season 2's premiere is around the corner, but if this latest news is anything to go by, fans can expect plenty more Addams antics on the horizon. "Wednesday" part 1 premieres on August 6, 2025, and part 2 follows on September 3, 2025 on Netflix. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.
