Chris Pine had a glorious response to someone mistaking him for a different celebrity

Not only do celebrities get recognised a lot in public, but some celebrities — namely Chris Pine — apparently also get mistaken a lot for other celebrities. "I've gotten Ryan Reynolds, Pratt, Hemsworth, Matt Damon," lists Pine in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above, telling a story about how a man at an Oscars after-party recently mistook him for actor Joey Lawrence. Fortunately, Pine is now clearly an expert at dealing with such situations, and knew exactly how to handle it. "He's like, 'Come on, man, tell me, who are you? And I was like, 'Chris Evans, Captain America'," Pine says. "And just to top it all off, he goes: 'That's my man!'" Want more?

Fall For the Dark '60s Dream World of Talitha Getty in "Sister Stardust"

There's something about the '60s that calls us back, again and again. It's the style , the music, the cultural upheaval, and the wide-open sense of freedom, like there were no consequences to the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll lifestyle of the late '60s and early '70s. Then again, we know that eventually, there were consequences. Those days did end, sometimes tragically, sometimes quietly, fading into a cache of colorful souvenirs kept packed away in the attic. That's where Claire, the heroine of Jane Green's "Sister Stardust" (out April 5), keeps the mementos from the dreamlike weeks she spent in Marrakesh at the side of '60s It girl Talitha Getty, her husband Paul - the heir of an oil tycoon - and the group of rock stars, models, and fashion designers that surrounded them. Claire, though, is perhaps the last person we'd expect to fall into that lifestyle. Brought up prim and proper in her small English town, it's not until

'Turning Red's portrayal of periods is a turning point for coming-of-age movies

Pixar's Turning Red is a celebration of growing up — including all the messy bits that children's movies don't often show. Directed by Domee Shi, the film centers on 13-year-old Meilin Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) as she deals with benchmarks of puberty, like first crushes and intense emotions that transform her body into a giant red panda. While the first bits are standard fare in movies about growing up, Turning Red also references less-shown aspects of puberty, including periods and menstrual products. Importantly, it does so without any kind of shame or stigma, opening up space for candid conversations about puberty and hopefully paving the way for similar conversations in future coming-of-age films.

The 10 most streamed TV shows of the week: The good, the bad, and the meh

So many TV shows, so little time. The sheer volume of new and returning series makes picking your latest binge sometimes feel like plucking a needle out of a haystack, with the whole thing made even more complicated by the number of recommendations you're likely receive from friends and social media on any given day. So, where to start? Well it's not necessarily a measurement of quality, but it might helpful to at least know what most people have been tuning into. We've used streaming aggregator Reel Good , which pulls viewing figures from streaming services in the U.S. and UK, to narrow down the top 10. From controversial entrepreneurs to female assassins, here are the most popular TV shows this week. Let's go... 1. The Dropout Looks the part.

In drama miniseries The Dropout, Amanda Seyfried takes on the timely role of Elizabeth Holmes, the The

Hasan Minhaj interview is basically 8 minutes of Jimmy Fallon looking uncomfortable

From the point of sitting down on The Tonight Show , it only takes 10 seconds for Hasan Minhaj to make Jimmy Fallon squirm ever so slightly. And it only gets worse from there. The whole thing starts when Fallon calls Minhaj "bud" and Minhaj immediately responds, "Are we really buddies?", then quickly escalates to Minhaj discussing — in quite some detail — the first time he saw his father's penis. Come for the awkward laughs, stay for the awkwardness that barely leaves Fallon's face for the next eight minutes. Want more?

Stephen Merchant's story about almost dropping Bruce Springsteen is hilarious

If you're going to try and catch The Boss mid-concert, the absolute last thing you want to do is drop him. Well, apparently Stephen Merchant came close. Appearing on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, he told Jimmy Fallon a story about going to a Bruce Springsteen concert, witnessing some crowd-surfing from the singer himself, then going back the next night with the plan of being one of the lucky audience members to "touch the great man." The problem? "I forget that I'm six foot seven," says Merchant in the clip above, going on to describe "a moment in time that I'm taking the full weight of Bruce Springsteen." Luckily, The Boss remained undropped. The lesson? If you're a man of Merchant's stature, crowd surfing support should only be given while in a mild crouching stance. Want more?

Donald Glover shares his thoughts on that unexpected 'Atlanta' Season 3 opening

At long last, after a four year wait, Donald Glover's comedy-drama Atlanta has returned . And as anyone who's started watching it will know, the third season has a fairly intense opening episode that ( *mild spoilers ahead* ) barely even features Glover's character Earn until the very end. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, Glover explained that he wanted to make the show's comeback episode something "harrowing and cinematic", and managed to brush off any mild concerns from the show's network FX. "They definitely were like, 'You sure you don't want to put Darius in there?'", says Glover in the clip above. "Because it is kind of dangerous to do it, but we thought like...I always wanted it to be like a movie. I always want everything I do to be an event. So I was like, if people are going to be waiting a long time for this to come back, it should be an event." Well, it certainly is that. Want more? How to wa

Sandra Bullock answering quickfire questions from Stephen Colbert is a real rollercoaster

Interviews about work are all very well and good, but sometimes you really want "plumb the depths," as Stephen Colbert puts it, and get to know the actual person sat in front of you. Enter Colbert's "questionert" , a series of rapid-fire questions that ranges from favourite food items to deep existential questions about life and death, and which Sandra Bullock does her best to answer in the video above. The key takeaways? Bullock is a big fan of Prince, The Matrix , and BLT sandwiches. And in amongst a lot of giggling, she also has some pretty poignant words to say about what she thinks happens after we die. "I think our energy stays around the ones we love." Want more?

It's time for 'Bridgerton' to say gay

Welcome to Fix It, our series examining projects we love — save for one tiny change we wish we could make. With its second season, Bridgerton gave audiences another rich and ravishing journey of scandal and love. Yet for all these pretty pleasures, there was one resounding disappointment: an utter lack of queer romance.  Other critically celebrated historical fiction series have proudly and powerfully centered on queer romance. Just look to the lesbian love at the core of Dickinson or the gay relationship between the pirate captains in Our Flag Means Death . So why couldn't Bridgerton be next?  Yes, Anthony and Kate were lovely and swoon-worthy. But amid all the other Bridgertons, Feathertons, and other assorted gentry, surely there was some opportunity to share some of that Jane Austen brand of Regency romance with some queer characters? In Season 1 , a subplot about a gay painter and his beard of a wife suggested Benedict Bridgerton might have a coming-out arc in Seaso
