| The world's most powerful man jabbed his finger in people's faces, screaming, "You're Fake News!" He also said Wikileaks was a "hoax." | If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser. | | | | | The President Held an Extremely Normal HeliPresser After Robert Mueller's Testimony | | One of the more inevitable bits of fallout from Robert Mueller's testimony was that Donald Trump would declare victory while betraying his real fear that he may still face repercussions for his behavior. After all, the ex-special counsel confirmed in his testimony that: 1) Russia attacked the 2016 election to help Trump, because they believed a Trump presidency would benefit Russia. 2) The Trump campaign was aware of and welcomed that attack, and did not at any point report it to law enforcement. Campaign officials had at least 140 contacts with Russian nationals and also did not report that. In fact, he and his people lied relentlessly about it to cover it up.

Rarely is it the other way around. In Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is out this Friday, we're introduced to Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), a military vet working as the stuntman/driver/best bud of western TV and movie star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). The duo is inspired by stuntman Hal Needham and actor Burt Reynolds, who had a long, wild friendship throughout their careers. Here's what made Needham worthy of the Tarantino treatment, and why he's up there with Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan in the GOAT stuntman conversation.

He's an Oscar-winning actor, a red-carpet mainstay, and, this month, the star of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood. That's not even close to a complete portrait—but it's enough. Nevertheless, at the premier of his newest movie this week, DiCaprio added yet another entry to his long list of achievements: expert sunglasses-wearer.

Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, Nuisance of the Nation, was gaggling outside the chambers of the House Judiciary Committee, and he was fairly glowing with the kind of radioactive glee common to shady used-car dealers and the peddlers of aluminum siding to infirm widows.

In a conversation with Cinema Blend's podcast earlier this week, the outlet asked Tarantino about the rumored Pulp Fiction prequel that never came to be. Set over the course of one weekend in Amsterdam, Tarantino explained the film was to be called Double V Vega and feature Reservoir Dogs' Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) and Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega (John Travolta). But like so many exciting ideas in Hollywood, Double V Vega nor any iteration of it ever came to be. Read More | | | | | | | | | Nordstrom and Union L.A. Just Perfected the Laid-Back Uniform of Summer 2019 | | Nordstrom has been leveling up its street style lately—and we've noticed. Take its New Concepts program, for example, which brings in partners to add some legitimacy and expertise to styles that haven't been sold at Nordstrom in the past. Right now, that partnership is with Union & Company, which is another way of saying that it's a mix of the in-house label from style-setting Los Angeles retailer Union and some especially influential independent brands that the store works with consistently.
