Norman Rockwell's famed 1943 Rosie the Riveter portrait became the symbol of workingwomen and feminism in America during World War II. The painting displayed a woman with her sleeves pushed up while eating a sandwich as a rivet gun lay upon her lap. Now, it's being reported that the model who posed for the illustration, Mary Doyle Keefe, has died at the age of 92. Read More »
Maron is coming back to IFC for Season 3, folks. The network just dropped the new trailer for the third season. In it, the WTF with Marc Maron podcast host is coming to terms with one thing he's never felt: success. That's right, along for the Marc's triumphant, yet nerve-wracking climb the ladder of show business are the likes of comedians Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, Whitney Cummings, and so many more.

The country is slowly ... slowly ... slowly ... slowly legalizing the use of marijuana. As states like Washington and Colorado have already done it (and seen an enormous boost in revenue), there are other states in our great nation trying to do the same. The unfortunate downside of marijuana being legal in states is that it is still illegal in the country. What that means is that the federal government still has control over the state marijuana laws. Which leads to marijuana busts and a whole heap of a mess. But if California Republican Dana Rohrabacher has his way a new bill proposed, it looks like the Feds will soon have to respect those marijuana laws that states enforce. Read More »
Soon-to-be Batman Ben Affleck recently came under fire when it was discovered that he tried covering up the fact that his ancestors owned slaves back in the day, something he found out on the PBS series Finding Your Roots. Now, however, it looks like Affleck’s cover up gained notice from Larry Wilmore and the Nightly Show over on Comedy Central. So, it looks like the newly leaked trailer for Batman v Superman isn’t the only trouble under his newly-found utility bat belt. Read More »
Well, it's Earth Day. Or, as people in 2015 say, "It's #EarthDay2015, y'all!" Is that right? Not sure. Anyway, there are a number of celebrities celebrating the wonderful date that has us all remember to be kind to Mother Earth ... for one day, at least. To join in on the fun, we at MStars News decided to unveil to our readers a handful of celebrity Instagram accounts – anyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Entourage star Adrian Grenier – that are enlightening us all with facts, methods and tips on how to continue saving our lovely (in some places) planet.

The folks over at People magazine have spoken – Sandra Bullock is official the Most Beautiful Woman. The word comes from the People themselves in their “Most Beautiful” issue. And despite being coined the most beautiful woman around, the mag notes that the actress isn’t taking herself to seriously these days. At least, when it comes to appearance. Looks like ex-husband Jesse James could be regretting that whole cheating scandal thing. Read More »
It wasn't all smiles during Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People Gala last night. Apparently Kim Kardashian and Kanye West seemed a little innerved when comedian Amy Schumer decided to steal their red carpet moment in the spotlight for a quick laugh. In fact, they both just seemed incredibly unimpressed. Read More »
Better catch up on your Girls, folks. It's being reported that star and creator Lena Dunham doesn't plan on doing too much more. In fact, the actress-writer is now filming the fifth season of her acclaimed HBO series, and has said that Season 6 will probably be its last. What she'll do after remains to be seen, but after her pretty interesting performance on ABC's Scandal – and the fact that Girls was such a unique success – our guess is Dunham will probably be just fine.

Well, it's happened, folks. Jon Stewart has announced his final Daily Show episode, which means that things just got real. As much as we hate to admit it, the political satirist will soon be leaving his Comedy Central seat, the one he's held for the past 17 years, and give it up to young stand up comedian Trevor Noah. Hopefully, of course, he'll just give Noah a new chair, because otherwise that's pretty rank. Anyway, whether you're excited or not about Noah coming onboard – c'mon, give him a chance! – rest easy for now because we've still got a little over three months left with Stewart. Read More »
"Live from Washington D.C., it's the White House Correspondents Dinner! " – or whatever dumb opening line you want to think of. Anyway, it's being reported that Saturday Night Live's very own Cecily Strong is promising some great fun and big laughs while hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner this coming April 25. And given her past as part of SNL's Weekend Update portion of the weekly sketch show, it looks like she is the perfect selection to follow President Barack Obama. Read More »
So, this could be the scariest thing we’ve ever encountered. Not the getting high with Tommy Chong part – that sounds like a blast. What’s terrifying is the thought of walking through a supposed haunted house while stoned out of your skull. But it seems there’s a group of people willing to do it, film it and upload it: Funny or Die. In this new video, the comedy site recently paired a group of people alongside Chong for a segment called Scared Stoned with Tommy Chong. Together, the group got high, talked a little bit about the origin story of the now-famed 4/20, and walked through what they believed to be a haunted house. During the bit, cops seemingly busted the joint (no pun intended … okay, maybe a little) and walked them outside. But when they got there, it wasn’t exactly a police car waiting for them. Read More »
It's 4/20, everyone, and what that means is that there are many people across the country (and perhaps even the world?) who are sparking up some joints throughout the entire day. And while most of us are doing so illegally, there are some places in the United States where it's perfectly legal. For example, Denver, Colorado. And to prove that, the Denver Police Department recently tweeted out a supportive pro-weed message to the denizens of their lovely city, specifically to enjoy, but of course, consume responsibly. The lighthearted tweet came last night, letting the citizens of Denver know that the police see them "rollin'" and they "ain't hatin'" on the fact that they'll be enjoying themselves on this day. But still, they better do it in a responsible manner. Read More »
HBO recently aired its uber-anticipated documentary about Scientology entitled Going Clear. In the film, writer-director Paul Haggis was featured as one of the key celebrity interviewees, as he was in the religion for over three decades before up and leaving. And now, Haggis is coming clean saying that all of his speaking out has not gone unnoticed by the famed church. In fact, he’s claiming that he was once approached by a supposed reporter for Time magazine, Mark Webber, and asked to sit down for an interview. Of course, it turns out that Webber was actually a spy for the Church of Scientology. Read More »
