«Ricky Stanicky» has been in the works for a while now. Andrew Santino spoke about trying to land a spot in the film for years, which he was ultimately successful at, and now, in 2024, the movie’s coming to fruition. It comes courtesy of director Peter Farrelly, with the rest of the cast filled out by Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, William H. Macy, and Lex Scott Davis. Farrelly won an Oscar for his work on «Green Book,» but prior to that, he had mostly worked on unpretentious comedy movies like «Dumb and Dumber» and «Movie 43.» «Ricky Stanicky» represents a return to form, with Cena’s OnlyFans page being the perfect avenue to advertise the new film.
The movie’s rated R for «sexual material, language throughout and some drug content.» The trailer delves into all those mature themes, including an extended sequence of how Ted Summerhayes (Macy) makes sexually suggestive motions when he speaks. Starting an OnlyFans account with videos of Cena doing innocuous things but with captions that read dirty lets everyone know precisely what kind of humor to expect with «Ricky Stanicky.» It’s certainly not going to be another «Green Book.»
And this isn’t the first time a celebrity has used OnlyFans to promote a project. Comedian Whitney Cummings has an OnlyFans page to promote her podcast, and she even has a stand-up special on OFTV, OnlyFans’ streaming platform that’s free for anyone with an account. That means even those who have no interest in looking at nude people could always watch some new stand-up comedy.
A ‘UFO’ allegedly filmed over Spain isn’t like any other aerial phenomenon you have ever seen, but some users have argued the sighting can’t be real.
There has been a rise in discussions about aliens and UAPs recently, but people have been debating the possibilities of extraterrestrial life for ages. Yesterday, we brought to you the story of a supposed UFO that crashed in New Mexico’s Aztec region while carrying 16 humanoid bodies. Now, a questionable sighting that allegedly occurred in Spain is gathering attention.

UFO filmed over Spain looks like a ‘boat’
The unverified footage of an alleged UFO seen flying over Spain has been making the rounds on TikTok for a while now.
Several accounts have re-shared the clip that was supposedly filmed in August 2023 with similar captions that claim the occurrence was captured from inside an airplane, while the object was at a distance.
The unidentified object looks like a white flat disc cruising in the sky, without any other visible details around it. The so-called flying saucer doesn’t fit the typical description of a spacecraft and looks more like a glitch in the matrix than an actual object.
The original source of the video is unknown and we can’t tell for sure if the sighting is real as it was never reported or investigated. Due to the fact that social media is full of fabricated videos of UAPs these days, the possibility of the above sighting being authentic is further minimized.
Unidentified object looks like a ‘boat’
The TikTok video showing the “UFO” over Spain is interpreted in different ways by users. Some think the footage itself isn’t real, while those who believe in aliens think they may have seen an actual UAP.
One user said the object illusion could just be a “reflection”, while a few others have said that it resembles a “boat”.
One comment read: “Just the sun shining off of something on the ground, good proof of this is the solar forms in Vegas that look like this from the sky.”
“This is clearly fake. Why didn’t they film it longer to see where it goes?” asked another.
Unverified reports about UFOs and aliens
Humans are clearly divided over the possible existence of aliens, but there are some rumors stemming from unverified reports that’ll make you wonder if there is life beyond Earth.
Below are such sightings and occurrences that are hard to explain:

In their report, Variety says that they contacted Amazon and Doug Liman for comment — both parties declined. Despite the director’s appeal and brutally honest open letter, Amazon MGM Studios is still moving forward with a late March streaming release. For Liman, his blockbuster heading to streaming is the start of a significant shift in how the industry operates. «Movies like ‘Road House,’ people actually want to see on the big screen, and it was made for the big screen. Without movie theaters, we won’t have the commercial box office hits that are the locomotives that allow studios to take gambles on original movies and new directors,» he penned in his January Deadline article.
Gyllenhaal sees Amazon’s «Road House» release strategy as a byproduct of how things have changed over the years. «I just want as many people to see it as possible,» he told Total Film, acknowledging that how audiences view motion pictures is evolving, which in turn is shifting how films are produced. The actor has never shied away from joining products built for streaming; his post-2015 CV is filled with projects sent straight to streaming, like Netflix’s «Velvet Buzzsaw» and «The Guilty.»
Despite all the hoopla surrounding the release of «Road House,» Gyllenhaal is proud to have worked with Liman. «What’s clear to me, and what I loved so much, was [Liman’s] deep love for this movie, and his pride at how much he cares for it, how good he feels it is, and how much people should see it,» he said.
«Road House» hits Amazon Prime Video on March 21, 2024.
Elsewhere during the press conference, Denis Villeneuve brought up how he pretty much went directly into «Dune: Part Two» after the first film. Taking a bit of a reprieve, especially after two films as massive as these, makes perfect sense. While he loves these projects and has expressed an interest in «Dune Messiah,» he stated how he may need to focus his energies on something different. «I might make a detour before just to go away from the sun,» the filmmaker expressed. «For my mental sanity I might do something in between, but my dream would be to go a last time on this planet that I love.»
As for what the other project might be, it’s anyone’s guess at this point. Villeneuve is one of the most exciting directors working in Hollywood now, capable of bringing a massively ambitious and celebrated project like «Dune: Part Two» to the big screen. And it sounds like the filmmaker just wants to do one more Dune movie and then move out of this sandbox. When talking with The Los Angeles Times, he claimed, «When people ask me, ‘After ‘Dune Messiah’ will you be done with ‘Dune’?’ I say yes because at that point it will have been almost 10 years of my life. It’s healthy to think that there’s an end to this.» He does later say to ask him after «Dune Messiah» what his plans are because they can always change, but concluding a trilogy of this scale feels like a natural stopping point.
One step at a time. «Dune 3» may not have a release date yet, but you can catch «Dune: Part Two» when it releases in theaters on March 1.
As the tragic news of Matthew Perry’s death shocks the world, fans are looking back on his life, including his heartfelt relationship with co-star, Lauren Graham, who he is alleged to have briefly dated.
Although the star was widely recognized for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the sitcom Friends, he also played many other memorable characters, including Oscar Madison on the CBS drama, The Odd Couple, starring alongside Lauren Graham.

Matthew Perry was linked to Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham
Matthew Perry was linked to Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham in 2003, however, the ‘relationship’ didn’t last long as he was single again just a few months later.
Five years later, the two appeared on the big screen together, in the indie movie Birds of America. The two also co-starred in the sitcom, Odd Couple, where Graham plays his ex-wife, Gaby, on the show.
During an Odd Couple fan Q&A, the Friends star said about Graham: “She’s one of my favorite people,” he said, slightly gushing. “We have great chemistry when working together and it’s fun to work with a close friend.”
The two remained close friends, and Lauren even promoted his memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing last November on X, formerly known as Twitter, as she penned:
“Happy, happy pub day, @MatthewPerry!”
Lauren said the pair ‘almost but never exactly dated’
Lauren has spoken about her relationship with Perry a number of times, including on an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In a piece written for the Daily Mail back in 2016, the 56-year-old said about the Friends star: “The only bright spot, men-wise, was at an event where I met Matthew Perry. He became my Friend Who I Almost But Never Exactly Dated.”
Speaking about the relationship in her memoir, Talking as Fast as I Can, the actress said the two exchanged flirtations but never took it beyond that.
The Friends star then went on to date Rachel Dunn for two years

After the ‘flirtations’ with his Odd Couple co-star, the TV icon then went on to date professional volleyball player Rachel Dunn for two years.
The two were together when Friends came to an end after ten seasons, in 2004.
However, a year later, the two went their separate ways, with a source telling PEOPLE at the time that “there was no drama involved in the breakup.”
“There was no drama involved (in the breakup), just a commitment by Matthew to stay focused on his sobriety,” the insider revealed.
Though Disney may be pushing back publicly against Blackwells Capital’s board recommendations, the company is no stranger to AI. In 2023, Disney created a task force to explore all manner of potential AI innovations across the company’s many different business platforms. Like other major entertainment and technology companies, it released job listings for numerous AI-centric positions, all against the backdrop of the Hollywood unions striking for better protections against the technology.
«AI research at Disney goes back a very long time and revolves around all the things you see being discussed today,» one executive told Reuters in August 2023. «Can we have something that helps us make movies, games, or conversational robots inside theme parks that people can talk to?»
Those same goals have brought anxiety to creatives in Disney’s industry. CEO Bob Iger has been extremely vocal about his desire to cut costs at the company, and with the massive wave of layoffs that’s swept over Disney in the past year — cutting more than 7,000 jobs – such enthusiastic discussion of technology that could eliminate more human positions is understandably frustrating for some.
In «Punch-Drunk Love,» Adam Sandler plays Barry Egan, a lonesome entrepreneur who suffers from bouts of social anxiety. In «Spaceman,» the actor suits up as famed Czech cosmonaut Jakub Procházka, whose loneliness coupled with his personal demons takes a heavy toll on his psyche.
«It was [about] this kind of awkwardness, this awkward guy trying to function, trying to make himself understood without really being able to do that in the face of the world, and so on and so forth,» Johan Renck explained. «So, to me, it’s his character from ‘Punch-Drunk Love’ [20] years later — that version of it to some extent.»
While Renck entered the production of «Spaceman» knowing that Sandler had the wherewithal to bring Jakub to life, the director admitted that the actor brought some subtle attributes to the character that shocked him with delight.»I got to say that I knew he’s a great actor and all that, but the nuances of his eyes — this is very detailed now — is something that I just found myself putting the camera closer and closer to him because I wanted those subtle, the nuances of the reaction aspects of his eyes,» Renck told Looper. «I couldn’t stop watching that, and I said to him, «How the f*** do you even do that?» and he said, ‘I don’t know, man. I just do my stuff.’»
Whatever Sandler’s stuff was, Renck said he couldn’t get enough of it. «I was so compelled by it. I could not stop watching that and looking out for the subtleties in somebody like that,» the filmmaker recalled. «I’ve never seen anything like it. And he is incredible. He really is.»
Nintendo Switch está muy cerca de convertirse en la consola de videojuegos más vendida en la historia, y todavía va a tener tiempo de superar este registro dado que no se espera que a corto plazo se lance su sucesora.
No obstante, se pensaba, que a lo largo de este año, presumiblemente en otoño, se iba a lanzar al mercado la sucesora de la Nintendo Switch, de la que se desconoce todavía el nombre.
Pero debido a que el lanzamiento de una consola no es nada sencillo, sobre todo porque tiene que haber unidades suficientes para satisfacer la demanda, las cosas van a retrasarse.
Según informan desde Nikkei, la sucesora de Nintendo Switch definitivamente no se lanzará a lo largo de 2024, sino que lo hará a principios de 2025.
En concreto, el medio japonés apunta a que el lanzamiento de la consola sucederá en marzo de 2025, justo antes del cierre de los resultados fiscales.
Este tiempo adicional podría permitir a Nintendo lanzar un mayor conjunto de consolas a nivel mundial para evitar que se agote rápido, lo que podría evitar situaciones como pasó con PS5.
A Nintendo no le preocupa perderse la campaña navideña, no obstante, la actual Nintendo Switch fue lanzada fuera de las Navidades y ha funcionado muy bien, y desde el principio.
Se desconocen la mayoría de las especificaciones de la sucesora de la Nintendo Switch que tendría poco sentido que conservara el nombre para evitar confusiones como ya pasó con el lanzamiento de Wii y Wii U.
Evidentemente, la sucesora de la Nintendo Switch será un sistema más potente que el actual ofreciendo una mayor resolución de pantalla, aunque no se espera que esté al nivel de la actual PS5 y Xbox Series X.
Por otra parte, es esperable que todo el catálogo actual de la Nintendo Switch sea compatible en el nuevo sistema, algo que le valdría a Nintendo para conservar la amplia base de usuarios actual.
Years after the alleged UFO crash in Norway, a video showing an unidentified object being retrieved from water has baffled social media users.
Fueling rumors about aliens and spacecrafts, the unverified video on TikTok has raised numerous questions about an incident that’s believed to have occurred in 1946 or 1947. The viral video suggests that the undocumented incident could be real because it was supposedly witnessed by a few residents.

‘UFO crash in Norway’ video is viral
A video posted by the TikTok account @WiggyWiggyWiggy has raised eyebrows with what appears to be the retrieval of an unverified object.
The person who is recording the video claims rovers were sent in to allegedly map the object that was resting under the water about 70 feet deep. The man alleges the object was at least 20 meters long with a “smooth surface” and was found “just laying on the bed.”
However, the video doesn’t determine the exact nature of the object and claims that scientists will have to study the collected data in order to find out if it’s really an unidentified flying object and if it’s as old as the person in the video suggests.
Moreover, the supposed retrieval of the object from the water doesn’t appear to have been conducted officially as it hasn’t made it to the papers or been covered by news channels.
There is no follow-up on the collected data or supporting evidence to believe the object lifted from the lake in Norway is real.
Supposed UAP linked to the 1946 incident
Norway is a hotspot for UFO sightings, and legend holds that in 1946 or 1947, several residents saw a spacecraft that ended up crash-landing in the water.
The unproven incident was mentioned in newspapers, documentaries, and even press conferences, but critics find the claims surrounding it unacceptable due to the lack of evidence.
Former U.S. Air Force officer, Dwynne Arnesson was at a press conference organized by Dr. Steven Greer when he revealed supposed encounters with UFOs in Norway.
He claimed a sighting that’s said to have occurred in 1967 was specifically imprinted on his mind because a UFO was seen near a missile saddle and then the missiles were deactivated.
The above claim further fuels wild theories about extraterrestrial lives possessing superpowers, such as the one that claims aliens in UFOs could have saved lives after a tragedy struck the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011.
Fear of aliens takes over the Internet
Amid the ongoing debate about the possibilities of life outside Earth, humans are left more confused by rumors and unexplainable sightings from around the world. While most claims are fabricated by Internet users, a few others will make you question your beliefs.
In «Spaceman,» Paul Dano voices Hanuš, a giant alien spider that Czech cosmonaut Jakub Procházka (Adam Sandler) encounters in the outer reaches of the galaxy. As a calming voice of reason for the sole space traveler, Hanuš is pushing Jakub — whose mind is in torment over past traumas and ongoing marital strife with his wife (Carey Mulligan) — to confront his troubles before they destroy him.
In real life, Dano said he would never push Sandler in the direction of a serious comic book movie role like the Riddler to confront the complexities of the mind. After all, Dano told Looper, Sandler has already proven in movies like Paul Thomas Anderson’s «Punch-Drunk Love» and Benny and Josh Safdie’s «Uncut Gems» that he has an incredible acting range. «From PTA to the Safdies and to [«Spaceman»], those are real performances,» Dano said. «They’re not just, ‘Hey, let’s just downplay it a little bit. Let’s just turn the volume down on Adam Sandler a little bit.’ When you watch ‘Uncut Gems’ and you watch ‘Spaceman,’ you see it’s real work. It’s a real character, a real performance, and I think that everybody now sees that so I don’t even think he needs a push.»
Sandler said he realized early on that there were no limitations for comedic actors when he joined his dad to watch legendary «Honeymooners» star Jackie Gleason in the title role in the 1962 film classic «Gigot.»
«It was exciting to see him do something different that I wasn’t used to,» Sandler recalled. «I’m lucky to get to do stuff like this. ‘Spaceman’ is definitely a new vibe.»
Directed by Johan Renck, «Spaceman»debuts on Netflix on March 1.
Dr. Carol Marcus first originated in «Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,» portrayed by Bibi Besch. She has a romantic relationship with Captain Kirk (William Shatner), and the two have a child together. «Star Trek Into Darkness» doesn’t explore their relationship too much, other than the Kelvin Timeline Kirk (Chris Pine) sneaking a peek at Carol when she’s almost nude. Suffice it to say, there are still plenty of avenues available for the character in this new continuity, so Alice Eve could return for «Star Trek 4» if it eventually happens.
In 2013, Eve spoke with Impulse Gamer about reprising her role. She said, «I’d love to become an integral member of the crew.» Of course, that quote’s from over 10 years ago, so there’s always a chance Eve could be too busy with other projects to sign on for another Star Trek. Even then, there could still be ways to incorporate the character into a sequel’s storyline. With so much time passing since «Star Trek Beyond,» perhaps Kirk and Dr. Marcus got together off-screen and already have their kid. It would put an intriguing wrinkle into Kirk’s characterization if a child is waiting for him to return from another dangerous mission.
At this point, fans likely just want «Star Trek 4» in any way, shape, or form. Having Dr. Carol Marcus there in any capacity would be the icing on the cake.
Kate Winslet’s days of doing nude scenes might be numbered, but she hasn’t completely retired from showing off her body. The 2023 movie «Lee,» in which she plays a dramatized version of the real-life World War II-era journalist Lee Miller, also features some revealing moments the performer was nervous about filming. Despite this, she refused to shy away from showcasing her real body, even when her colleagues tried to present her in a certain light.
«I had to be really f***ing brave about letting my body be its softest version of itself and not hiding from that,» Winslet told Vogue. «And believe me, people amongst our own team would say, ‘You might just want to sit up a bit.’ And I’d go, ‘Why? [Because of] the bit of flesh you can see? No, that’s the way it’s going to be!’»
In the same interview, Winslet recalled being bullied for how she looked early on in her career, which prompted her to reject the demanding beauty standards the media deems acceptable for women. The «Titanic» star isn’t interested in adhering to those stereotypes, and she tries to reflect that in her work by embracing her natural appearance, even if some scenes are more daunting to shoot than others.
Las autoridades irlandesas han advertido a los propietarios de Amazon Fire TV del riesgo que pueden correr sus datos bancarios si utilizan dispositivos modificados. Esto forma parte de la última campaña contra el streaming ilegal en toda Irlanda.
La operación ha señalado a los vendedores sospechosos de manipular dispositivos de televisión inteligentes como Amazon Fire TV, que ofrece acceso a canales como Sky Sports. La Policía ha avisado de las consecuencias a las que se enfrentan aquellos que pirateen dispositivos y les ha animado a dejar de vender los aparatos o se pueden enfrentar a problemas legales.
Los investigadores aseguran que las medidas han tenido un impacto directo y han cerrado la mayoría de los servicios de transmisión ilegal del país, recoge The Irish Sun.
Pero el problema de los Amazon Fire TV no solo es la piratería, sino la posibilidad de utilizar los dispositivos manipulados para insertar malwares con los que cometer fraudes.
Las cuentas bancarias de los usuarios con un Amazon Fire TV están en peligro
Algunos dispositivos se saltan la autenticación en dos pasos y la verificación de pagos en Amazon, lo que debilita la seguridad de los datos personales y las cuentas bancarias. Un estudio realizado por BeStreamWise ha revelado que una de cada tres personas en Irlanda que utilizan estos servicios ilegales han sido víctimas de estafas o robo de identidad o conocen a alguien que lo ha sufrido.
Las autoridades pretenden concienciar a los operadores de servicios ilegales de IPTV, no solo están cometiendo un delito, sino que ponen en peligro a los consumidores. El riesgo de sufrir un malware, pérdida de datos y robo de identidad se multiplica, ha afirmado Eddy Leviten, director de operaciones de la Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), federación contra el robo de derechos de autor.
La FACT está monitoreando los canales que utilizan los vendedores piratas para publicitar y vender sus dispositivos ilegales, también contra operadores ilegales de IPTV. La finalidad es proporcionar a la Policía la información de los vendedores y compradores de servicios de streaming ilegales.
Los vendedores utilizan canales de Telegram para contactar con los compradores
La Policía irlandesa ha arrestado a dos personas después de encontrar Amazon Fire TV ilegales en su casa que se vendían con acceso completo sin autorización a paquetes de canales premium mediante redes IPTV. Posteriormente, se ha descubierto que los vendedores utilizaban un canal de Telegram para vender los Amazon Fire TV ilegales, lo que les ha reportado más de 800.000 libras, unos 935.000 euros.
El dinero generado a través de la venta de dispositivos de streaming ilegales se destina a la criminalidad organizada, por lo que la policía irlandesa está dispuesta a identificar a los involucrados y romper la cadena de financiación, ha expresado Steve Payne, detective en la Regional Organised Crime Units (ERSOU).
Las autoridades han dejado claro que no solo están persiguiendo a los vendedores, los compradores también se pueden enfrentar a problemas legales. La ERSOU tiene acceso a la lista de algunos de los vendedores y sus compradores, ambos están infringiendo la ley en materia de derechos de autor.
Lena Dunham quickly became a household name after the premiere of her HBO comedy series «Girls,» which ran for six seasons between 2012 and 2017. The show notably launched the careers of future stars like Adam Driver, Allison Williams, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, but it was Dunham who took the brunt of the show’s publicity due to its frequent use of nudity. Dunham, who also plays the show’s lead Hannah Horvath, faced rampant body-shaming online during the show’s run, but refused to turn that criticism into an excuse to prove anybody wrong.
Dunham remained proud of the way she looked on the show, telling America Ferrera at a Tribeca Film Festival panel (via The Advocate), «I think people were so ready to believe that I was jumping past some massive hurdle in order to get naked on television, and I was like, that’s not where my fear lies.» When Dunham did undergo a noticeable weight loss following the end of «Girls,» spurred by the end of her relationship with musician Jack Antonoff, she highlighted online criticism against her as an example of the hardships women in the entertainment industry face.
Lately, Dunham has spoken out about how comfortable she is with her current body image. While she has admitted that the criticism throughout her 20s would often feel overwhelming, she said that it’s silly to look back on now.
Ufologists and others who take immense interest in extraterrestrial lives believe aliens are far more powerful than humans can imagine and if there was any truth to the popular belief, the theory that non-human beings were behind the prehistoric ruins found in China is very convincing.
For decades now, researchers and scientists have been deeply invested in understanding the pipelike formations near the town of Delingha in Qinghai province in China and wild theories about their origin. One of them suggests that extraterrestrial lives built the mysterious structures.

Prehistoric ruins in China linked to aliens
The strange pipes were first discovered in 1996 by a Chinese writer/archeologist who went by the name, Bai Yu. He was exploring the remote land around Mount Baigong when he came across a cave shaped like a triangle.
Britannica states that the explorer entered the cave assuming it was man-made, but little did he know he would witness something unexplainable shortly.
What he saw inside the cave was “an array of metal pipes rising from the floor and embedded in the walls.” He saw more of these pipes along the surface of the hill and some led to the shore of Toson Lake.
When the samples from the pipe were tested, they found out 8 percent of the material consisted of “unknown composition.” From here stemmed a lot of speculative theories about how the pipes were created and some believe the material used to build it could be from “outer space” or a different planet that isn’t Earth.
The test results showed the pipes existed before human habitation in the area, fueling wild theories about aliens.
Research presents plausible explanations for the ancient pipes
Studies conducted in the following years helped scientists reach more plausible conclusions; the formation of pipes as a result of a natural phenomenon and geopolitical processes.
One theory suggested that the uplift of the Plateau of Tibet could have caused fissures, that were eventually filled with iron-rich sediments from floods and took the shape of pipes once hardened.
Another convincing theory was that the pipes are nothing but fossilized casts of tree roots. This was proven more likely to have happened owing to similar cylindrical structures found in soils in southern Louisiana.
But, many still think there’s more to the story of Baigong pipes which humans refuse to believe.
