Josh Brolin

Spring signifies many things, from rebirth and new beginnings to a whole new mank bro season of exposed feral pit hair. And as we examined last year in our pioneering studies of bro on bro love at Lakers games, for the Staples Center, it means a season of fertile grounds alongside the Lakers' home court for budding celebrity bromance. Tuesday night we got some frisky business with Jack Black, Ashton Kutcher and Jeffrey Katzenberg (poor guy was hardcore third-wheeling them) but we could not have predicted the surprise MVP of the night when Josh Brolin stepped onto the scene like a fratboy on Spanish Fly at homecoming weekend. But on the real, sorry Leo, you've been topped; homie bro'ed the shit out of you. Let's take a look. More»

Flea, Anthony Kiedis [via]

Like Iggy Pop before them, Anthony Kiedis and Flea are two of the only dudes on earth approaching 50 who can still rock with their shirts off without offending people AND look cool doing it. On Saturday, while many were getting in touch with their teenage selves at L.A. Rising with Rage Against the Machine, the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers performed on a rooftop in Venice, giving locals of their hometown a free sunset show. More»

Don't even get me started on Ron Artest's suspension from tonight's game against the Mavericks. Let's just not even talk about how he benched himself for a critical playoff game because he decided to bust THIS MANEUVER that earned him a flagrant foul. Bless his heart, but I never know what I'm going to get with that guy. Like, are we going to play basketball like a well-paid professional, talk about how our therapist gave us a pre-game pep talk and hit game-saving threes on the buzzer, or are we going to dance around like we forgot which team we're playing for and blatantly clothesline players in the face?
