Celebrities Hanging Out With Their Moms: The Photos |
When celebrities are photographed with their moms—whether in candid situations or outside award shows—it tends to elicit an "awww" reaction. A mother's presence makes these larger-than-life personalities seem normal or, in the parlance of US Weekly, just like us—they have moms, too! So, here are 37 photos of celebrities with their moms—some candid, some on the red carpet, but all certain to make you think, if only for a moment, this ridiculously famous person is, maybe, just like me. |

The Napkin Project (Love Stories Edition) |
The oldest stories in the world are love stories. Boy meets girl; girl shares her campfire; they live happily ever after, two cavepeople against the cruel world. In the millennia since, the form has only improved and multiplied—now our bookshelves are packed with tales of joy and heartbreak, love and loss, breaking up and making up. So when we asked five extraordinary writers to submit works of short fiction contained on cocktail napkins, we gave them this prompt: "Write a love story." The results remind us why love stories are the backbone of modern fiction. The proof is spelled out in the writers' own handwriting. |

27 Best Denim Brands Every Man Needs to Know, Tested and Reviewed |
The thing about finding the perfect pair of jeans isn't that it's impossible. Sure, it can often feel that way when you're bouncing back and forth between the brawny, selvedge denim pair that looks good now but will look absolutely amazing in a couple years and the comfortable stretch option that's pretty damn great from day one. Both are solid options. Both might even be perfect! Who's to say? And therein lies the rub. With so many options—Light wash or dark? Slim? Skinny? Straight? Boot-cut?!—it's almost impossible to choose just one pair. Denim is one of the greatest ways in the world to nerd out on menswear. But who has the time? So instead of sending you down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, we've instead pulled together a list of the 27 best jeans brands out there, ranging from your mass-market standbys to your hyper-niche specialists, with a little of everything in between for good measure. Happy hunting. |

The Dirty Martini Deserves Legend Status |
It felt like cheating, but it was delicious. The early days of my relationship with the dirty martini were complex. I craved the easy sophistication that a martini conjured, but my postcollege self wasn't ready for its stone-cold booziness. Few in their early twenties have dealt with enough adult life to appreciate the marti- ni's ability to make you forget that you now have to deal with adult life. A dirty martini, however? That wisp of olive brine alongside gin and vermouth made the drink downright quaffable and fun, even though it still looked like the thing that grown-ups who had a mortgage and a dinner jacket drank. It became a go-to when I felt the need to flex some faux refinement. But hang around too many serious bar folk and you hear the whispers: Why add olive-jar discards to something so perfect? It got in my head that the dirty was blasphemous. If the martini is the tuxedo of cocktails, then the dirty is the tuxedo T-shirt of cocktails. I decided a fancy-pants imbiber like myself shouldn't be seen ordering it and kicked the drink down to chug-hut alley to join the cosmo and the Long Island iced tea. |

Pedro Pascal Has the Sneakers Everybody Wants, Because of Course He Does |
Usually, when I see somebody wearing the coveted, instantly-sold-out sneakers that I couldn't manage to score myself, I get a little bit jealous. But when it's Pedro Pascal, and he's wearing Rich Paul x New Balance 550s, it's somehow okay—firstly, because it's Pedro, and secondly, because he wears them so damn well. Really—I'm happy for him! Every fashionhead knows (and wants) a pair of Rich Paul New Balances, and if anyone has 'em, it should be Pedro Pascal. While filming The Materialists in New York, he stepped out in the shoes (which are already a bit scuffed up, indicating he's given them some love prior) and a big, baggy vintage Lakers tee, with some jeans. |

Steven Spielberg Once Disowned The Temple of Doom. It's Better Than He Thinks. |
Forty years ago, Steven Spielberg released a wildly entertaining action-adventure that received almost universally positive reviews and made more than $330 million at the box office. That film was 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a sequel (well, technically a prequel, since it's set in 1935) that deftly manages to be both scarier and sillier than its predecessor. So why did its director feel the need to disown it? By almost any metric, Spielberg's follow-up to Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie that any other director would kill to have on their résumé. Its masterful Busby Berkeley–style song-and-dance opening sequence set in a Shanghai nightclub showcases some of the most inventive and kinetic filmmaking of the decade. But in 1989, just five short years after the movie hit multiplexes, Spielberg would offer a confusing mea culpa for the film, slagging it as "too dark" and "too horrific" before harshly concluding: "There's not an ounce of my personal feeling in Temple of Doom." |
