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»

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?

That aggressive moose knuckle (male camel toe, dur) in the photo above that John C. Reilly was sporting courtside wasn't nearly as hard to watch as the fourth quarter of the Lakers' tragic loss to the Mavericks last night in the Western Conference semifinals series opener. Alas, win or lose, Lakers games are always breeding grounds for budding celebrity bromances. Last night, Reilly and Will Ferrell proclaimed their bro-ffection for one another for all the world to see with this passionate embrace, and their's is just one of many a famous bromance that has burgeoned alongside the Lakers' home court. From Bieber to Jacko, courtside bromance knows no limits. It sees no color, age or receding hairline. Let's take a look at the some of the passion-filled celebrity bromances we've watched blossom at Lakers games through the years... More»
