Actor John Krasinski Simply Has Better Sex Now That He’s “Jacked”

Hello. If you’re here, it’s because you remember John Krasinski from “The Office” and heard he’s been keeping busy at the gym. Well, it’s all true.

Krasinski has indeed been lifting weights in order to play a sneaky CIA agent in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. In fact, Elle reports he’s packed on 25 pounds of muscle. And Elle don’t lie.

They’re also not afraid to ask the tough questions. They ask Krasinski if his sex life has improved ever since he got really blocky with all the muscles everywhere.

“Absolutely,” he says. “And again, totally selfishly, it is so much better for me being jacked because you feel so much more confident and you see yourself as this much more sexual person, which is really fun.”

You’re probably wondering what his wife Emily Blunt thinks about all this muscle business. Fortunately, she’s all for it. She’s decidedly, defiantly pro-muscle.

“The truth is, she really is that person who would like me any way,” he admits. “But I don’t think she’s going to kick the eight-pack abs out of bed.”

Oh, also: According to online publication tooFab, Krasinki admitted to Conan O’Brien that he wasn’t always so keen on transforming his body into a drool-worthy slab of unmitigated hunkiness.

Until a screen test for Captain America changed everything. Yeah. When he climbed into that superhero suit, all that apprehension just went right out the window.

“And I got to right about my waist, I was still shirtless,” he tells Conan, “feeling pretty good about myself. I wasn’t 13 Hours [built] yet but I felt pretty good.”

But then Chris Hemsworth walked in, as he often does in situations like these, and Krasinki was humbled.

“He’s like, ‘Hey mate,’ and I went, ‘I’m good! This is stupid. I shouldn’t. It’s okay, I’m not Captain America. It’s fine.'”

Then, we’re not sure what happened after that. He might have memorized some lines, or done a couple of squats, or perhaps grabbed some homemade gnocchi at Dan Tana’s.

We don’t actually know John Krasinski.

Coco Montrese Had A Scandalous Night In Tampa, And There’s A Video To Prove It

Warning: If you’re not caught up on the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season two, this is your formal spoiler alert.
From: Queerty

RuPaul’s Drag Race is first and foremost a competition show, and unfortunately for Coco Montrese, her chances for the crown ended Thursday night at the shocking finale of the first episode of All Stars season two. Tim Winfred caught up with Coco to find out how she’s been since her elimination and ask her many unrelated and juicy questions.

Queerty: How are you doing after seeing yourself get eliminated last night?

Coco: Oh gosh [laughs]. Wow. I’m doing good. It’s all a part of life and it’s a learning experience. I’m doing great.

As RuPaul said when you were eliminated: “You are an All Star” – Why do you think RuPaul chose you to compete again?

RuPaul follows us and he knows what we aspire to be in our careers. I think that’s what he based it on and that’s why he calls us “All Stars.” It’s a really good feeling to be considered an All Star. I’m still smiling to this day. You can still smile through the tears.

If there was one queen you could have added to the All Stars 2 cast, who would you have chosen and why?

Oh gosh. [Pauses] I think Trixie Mattel. She would have been a fun addition and character to add. Her personality is amazing and I think she would have brought a sigh of relief to that room.

When Roxxxy eliminated you, she said she felt like she might lose you as a friend. How has your relationship with her been since then and have you spoken with her?

Of course I’ve spoken with her. I think if I was much younger maybe it would have affected me differently, but I’m older so I cherish my friendships and I don’t give up on them when a decision like that is made. Roxxxy and I have a great friendship.

If you could go back and change your talent show act, would you have showcased something else instead?

I’m at a point in my career where I’ve almost done everything I’ve wanted. I’m ok with taking chances and I don’t think I would have changed it. The only thing is that I wish I had a little bit more time to prepare myself or get my point across in what I was trying to do. It’s a trial and error thing, so I wouldn’t have done that much different. I took a chance. In life, if you don’t take chances or risks, you become stagnant and a one-trick pony doing the same thing.

After you were eliminated and RuPaul revealed that you would have a chance to return for your revenge, what did you mean when you said “I’ve got a lot to give and I’m not holding shit back”?

It was more so a reality check for me then it was directed at a person. When she said “revenge,” I didn’t take is as to take revenge on Roxxxy, I felt like she meant that I get to take revenge on that platform, that stage. A no holds barn, give my all, the best performance I could possibly give if I’m given a second chance. That’s how I took it. Take my revenge out on that stage, not on that queen! [Laughs]

Michelle Visage said some harsh things, and her edit in episode one highlight that. After the show aired last night, you tweeted that Michelle Visage is, pardon my language, a f*cking b*tch.

It was harsh! I’m going to be honest with you: I’m very, very protective of my younger sisters. You can say anything about me, or my makeup, my performance, but I just felt like she kind of went in on Adore really bad. There’s a vulnerability with young entertainers – I used to be one – so when they’re awful, it’s about how you tell them they were awful that can upset them mentally wherever they are at that point in their lives.

I also tweeted this morning to Michelle. Make no mistake, I love Michelle. Michelle is like one of those mothers that gives you hard love and you’re like, “God, that freakin’ hurts!” But she does it to make you healthy, make you stronger and make you skin thicker. She does it because out there in the world, those people who don’t like you or care for you aren’t going to be nice to you. Michelle’s intentions are not to be evil or vindictive at all. She is a wonderful person. I just felt like she was a little harsh.
My tweet was just me going to bat for my sister because I know how much it affected her from being in the work room with her. It was me putting my hand in front of my sister to protect her when she was about to walk in front of a car, you know? It was nothing personal against Michelle. I love Michelle.
Alyssa [Edwards] and I will go through that too. She’ll say, “God I hate you right now, Coco… but I fricken’ love you so let’s go have lunch.” That’s all that it was.

I have a fan question from Mimi Imfurst. [Laughs] She wants you to tell me about the video with the pizza and the strippers backstage at the Honey Pot in Tampa.

[Laughs really hard] Oh. My. God! Oh my god. It’s one of those scandal moments when you forget that you’re in the public eye and that everything is recorded and you’re like, “God, I can’t believe that got leaked!” It was just one of those “Oops” moments that’s more than I can tell you about. I’m a Vegas queen, but I guess everything doesn’t stay in Vegas like they say.
I’m going to have to ask Mimi for a copy of that video.

Oh my god! [Laughs] I’m sure it’s floating out there somewhere.

(If you find a copy of the video in question, tweet it to us at @DragaholicNews and @TheTimWinfred.)

You said recently, in a Facebook rant, that you don’t think RuPaul’s Drag Race should be called “reality TV.” Why do you feel that way?

I don’t think it’s reality TV. When you think of reality TV, you think of The Real Housewives and all those types of stories. Those are set in conditions where you’re actually able to see the entire back story of these girls and their everyday lives. That’s what reality TV is to me. RuPaul’s Drag Race is more a look into our school, the University of Drag. When you get accepted into the school, it’s like getting into the Harvard of drag. Not that many get to go. There have only been 100 queens that got that acceptance letter.

Some of those queens, like yourself, are more seasoned and have a long drag background, whereas others have just turned 21 and haven’t been on the drag scene for too long. In that same Facebook rant, you said that the show turns some queens into “microwave” superstars and tears down other queens’ careers. Do you feel like it affected your career in a positive or negative way?

Well, that’s totally up to you, it’s up to the individual. RuPaul gives you a platform and if you don’t know how to handle it then it can tear you down. It can tear your career apart. It’s like taking two children and giving them each a million-dollar inheritance. One kid might take it and invest it, where the other child might blow it on drugs and alcohol. It’s an opportunity thing. It’s what you make of life’s opportunities.

Who are you rooting for to win All Stars season two?

Oh my god, this is such a pageant question. [Laughs] I love all of those girls. I’m a huge Alaska [Thuderfuck] fan and I’ll give a you quick back story. When Alaska and I were on season five together, she was the only one that I did not get. I didn’t understand her drag, but now I’ve grown to love her as I watch her evolve. I’ve become her biggest fan. So I would have to say that I am rooting for Alaska, really.

What’s next for Coco now that you were given this additional exposure?

You know, they always say that you aren’t supposed to be political and that as a drag queen you are supposed to just be an entertainer. Not me. I’m always going to speak out for the community and equality for all people. I’m going to stick up for the transgender community because a lot of my sisters are trans. I’m going to stick up for everybody because I have a platform and I’m going to use it to make my voice heard. It might have a little folly here and there, but it comes with the territory.

Well thank you for taking the time to talk today. I’m looking forward to seeing Coco’s revenge!

Thank you, take care.

"Cocks Not Glocks" protest goes viral

From: Wicked Gay

Thousands of students from the University of Texas protested the state's new open carry laws Wednesday with dildos.

Yes, you read that right.

The protest, entitled "Cocks Not Glocks" was started as a "fun" way to get students of all ages involved in the political process according to The Guardian. Both dildos and vibrators were handed out during the protest, and students are encouraged to brandish both around campus until campus carry is repealed.

The idea came to Jessica Jin, a student, after listening to a local radio show about gun violence.

"Everybody's make a dick joke on the Internet before, and you never think anything's going to come of it... I was like, 'What a bunch of dildos on the radio; they don't want to say anything that's too divisive or offer any solutions. They're just going to say: 'we have to learn to live with it. Are you kidding me?" she told Campus Reform. Jin also added that dildos are banned on campus, but with the new legislation guns are not.

Jin put out the invite to a small group of her friends, but the event exploded into something else entirely; there were 4,500 students in attendance.

Though the concept of carrying a dildo might be funny to some, the reality that we're in dire need of some form of gun regulation is not. And judging by the number of people who attended "Cocks Not Glocks," we're not alone in thinking that.

Caucus

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things

Despite my coverage of some of the hottest athletes in Rio, I didn't watch much of this year's Rio Olympics. I usually look forward to the sporting event and have even booked time off work to catch certain events. Not this year. I even skipped the opening ceremonies, something I don't remember missing since I was a kid.

Although I am not a huge fan of Ryan Lochte, I manage to catch my fair share of reporting on his Rio Rowdiness. I caught it mostly because I was watching CNN. Although I am tiring of Election coverage, I did not tire of watching International correspondent Nick Paton Walsh covering Lochte's lies.

Paton Walsh, usually seen covering wars and international events, was forced by CNN to spend a few days trolling that Rio 'bathroom' talking endlessly about Lochte, that bathroom and swimmers peeing on the sides of buildings. I think he was a little frustrated by this particular assignment, especially as it became the main story of the week.

I think when Paton Walsh headed to Rio he was expecting a 'world event', not reporting hour on the hour on from a Brazilian bathroom. Regardless, the sexy journalist is always watchable, and sucked it up no matter what he was asked and no matter how many cars he had to dodge in the parking lot.

Lochte has been losing his media deals, including Speedo, but is set for the next season of Dancing With The Stars. I wish this was still the 80's when instead of hitting another reality show, Ryan might lose his Speedo literally and pose for Playgirl in order to move on from his Brazilian blunder.

Happy Birthday today August 27th

Happy 24th to actor Blake Jenner!

Barbra Streisand Duets with Donald Trump and His Growling Hair

From: Towleroad

Barbra Streisand hit the stage on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon for a duet with ‘Donald Trump’.

The duet was, as might be expected, a war of egos, with both Streisand and ‘Trump’ trying to outdo one another on “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better” from the Broadway classic Annie Get Your Gun.

As the duet ended, the PrimaDonald’s hair came out of place and as Streisand tried to fix it up, it growled at her.

“What am I doing here?”, she asked.

Watch:

In the rest of Barbra’s appearance (with Alec Baldwin who appears on her Encore album) she talked about how many of the duets on the album came to be, and how they were recorded. She also told the story about calling Tim Cook to ask him to get Siri to pronounce her name correctly.
