The Hair. The Voice. The Stache: A Star Is Born's Sam Elliott Has It All

If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       The Hair. The Voice. The Stache: A Star Is Born's Sam Elliott Abides   Sam Elliott has the best deep drawl in Hollywood. It sounds like America, like oak and rye and the Fourth of July, and it's because of that voice, and that mustache, and that shock of thick white hair, that Elliott has long been associated with a sort of cowboy persona. This, along with his soulfulness, his air of moral clarity has inspired filmmakers to think of him above all others across the years. And so it was that Bradley Cooper invited Elliott to his home to lay out the character he'd envisioned for him in Cooper's directorial debut, A Star Is Born, which he also cowrote and produced.

"I'm a loser like you," Venom tells Brock (or something to that effect). And I couldn't agree more.

Surrounded by some of the most accomplished musicians in the industry, Gaga was discussing her character in the film, Ally, a young singer so far rebuked by the industry on the account of her looks. Down the hall, writers were working on more songs—some for Ally, others for the world-weary, addiction-addled Jackson Maine played tenderly by Bradley Cooper for his directorial debut and the fourth iteration of the fabled Hollywood tale. The results are, in a word, dizzying.

He was shot four times on his way to an afterparty after attending a Mike Tyson fight with his business partner and friend, Suge Knight, six days prior. His killer was never found. But 22 years after his murder, several people, including some who had close ties to Tupac, claim the legendary rapper is still alive. Here is a roundup of some of the wildest, most believable, and, might we add, unproven conspiracy theories that claim Tupac is alive and well.
