2018: The year in Internet Boyfriends

TwitterFacebook

Like porn, Internet Boyfriends are hard to define — but also like porn, you know them when you see them. And 2018 was downright lousy with them.

Some were fresh faces we’d never encountered before. (Well, most of us. We see you, Lady Who’s Been Crushing On Winston Duke Since Person of Interest.) Others were guys we’d known about for years, but started seeing in a whole new light. And still more were dudes we already loved, but somehow came to love even more within the past 12 months.

What unites them is the way they brought so many of us together in 2018. These guys weren’t just our crushes, they were everyone’s crushes, and we collectively got personally invested in a way we don’t for just any pretty, famous face.  Read more…

Alison Brie did a backflip at Donald Glover’s apartment and it didn’t go well

TwitterFacebook

While they were filming Community together, Alison Brie used to hang out with co-star Donald Glover, despite the fact that he was – in her own words – “much cooler” than her. 

Brie was a guest on The Late Late Show, where she told a story about a time she was at a party at Glover’s apartment and attempted to do a backflip and ended up breaking a lamp. Oops. 

“I decided to just yell out, ‘hey everyone, watch this!'” Brie said. “I might have been a little drunk.”

We’ve all been there, Alison.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

In case you’ve been away from the internet for the past 24 hours, Childish Gambino’s latest music video has dropped.

And just like “This is America”, there are a whole bunch of references to break down.

One moment in particular, though, has generated a huge amount of interest.

Childish Gambino’s ‘Feels Like Summer’ video plays a game of ‘spot the reference’

TwitterFacebook

Now that it’s September, the hottest days of the year are (hopefully) firmly in the rearview. But for Childish Gambino, it still “Feels Like Summer.”

Donald Glover dropped a new video for his musical alter ego on Saturday. It’s a 5-minute journey through a summertime neighborhood populated by black celebrities (mostly hip hop stars), beautifully animated by artist Justin Richburg.

The video follows a young man — who looks suspiciously like a cartoon version of Glover-as-Earn, from Atlanta — as he strolls down the street, taking in the playful summer scenes. Occasionally he pauses and a dream-like interlude kicks in.  Read more…

FX boss says Donald Glover’s ‘Deadpool’ series was deep-sixed by Marvel

TwitterFacebook

It’s been a few months since it was announced that Donald Glover’s heavily-anticipated Deadpool animated TV series, to be produced for FX, was being shelved. But we finally have a few more details about why that came to be, thanks to FX chief John Landgraf.

Landgraf, the CEO of FX, was speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour on Saturday when he put the blame squarely on MarvelPer The A.V. Club, Landgraf said:

Well, then. 

This is as specific a reason as we’ve heard since the March news that the show wasn’t happening and that the three entities — Glover, Marvel, and FX — were parting ways. It’s a bit of a sensitive situation since this triangle has a few other relationships ongoing: Marvel and FX work together on Legion and, of course, Glover and FX have had huge success with Atlanta.

Oh no: Cardi B didn’t know Donald Glover and Childish Gambino are just one person

TwitterFacebook

There are a lot of stage names floating around in popular culture, and sometimes it feels like a full-time job just keeping them – and the real names behind them – straight. 

Take Donald Glover and his stage name Childish Gambino, for example. They’re one in the same, but not everyone knows this – including, it seems, Cardi B, who accidentally revealed on Twitter last week that she apparently had no idea that the actor and the musical artist are both Glover.

In a promptly-deleted tweet screen-grabbed by fans, Cardi shared the following: “It’s amazing how Donald Glover and Childish Gambino look soo much alike,” she wrote. “I think they secretly the same person!!! Soo dope!!”  Read more…
