Hill made headlines for saying he didn’t “give a f—” about The Mandalorian.
Jonah Hill had to speak out and squash any talk of a feud between him and Baby Yoda after saying “The Mandalorian” simply wasn’t for him.
Over the weekend, Hill revealed to Variety that Leonardo DiCaprio made him watch the Disney+ Star Wars series while they were working together on the Netflix movie “Don’t Look Up.” He, however, wasn’t all that into it.
“It was like, Baby Yoda was so cute, but I just didn’t give a f— because I didn’t know anything that it was about,” he said, which was turned into a headline and sent out to social media. After one person joked that the artwork for Variety’s post made it look like Hill was “feuding with Baby Yoda,” Hill screen shotted it and responded on Instagram.
“LOL is there anything cornier than literally all media. They’re literally trying to create beef between me and Baby Yoda,” wrote Hill in a tongue-in-cheek post. “I’m getting ahead of it. I wanna say this once on the record officially: Baby Yoda and I are dear friends and text at least once a week.”
“We may not be text every day type of friends and yes Covid put a strain on our friendship, but we are all good. And that’s all I will say on this matter!” he continued. “Now please respect our privacy at this time.”
Hill’s famous friends got a kick out of his reaction, with Natasha Lyonne commenting, “Wow. Really messed up what you did to Baby Yoda.” Michelle Pfeiffer, meanwhile, left a tears of joy emoji on his post.
“The Handmaid’s Tale” star Madeleine Brewer added, “idk man i’m team baby yoda on this one u did him dirty,” while many of his fans couldn’t get enough of the fake feud.
“Don’t Look Up” is streaming now on Netflix.

Undue Interview Burdens
I’ve been interviewing for senior jobs in the nonprofit sector. I’ve been a finalist for three different roles, each of which has had four rounds of interviews. Each organization has asked me to draft between 15-20 pages of original responses to screening questions, hypotheticals and to develop advocacy and legal strategies. Sometimes I get the feeling I’m doing free labor as I give them all my great ideas, hoping to be hired. I understand that organizations need to evaluate what a candidate can offer, but this process is burdensome and feels inequitable as they request sophisticated work product on a short time frame without pay. Is it OK for employers to demand so much of applicants? Is there any way I can challenge this dynamic? — Anonymous
Having to jump through an excessive number of hoops to get a job can be incredibly frustrating. It seems like the interviewing process is getting more and more convoluted in many industries. And there are employers out there who are exploitative, essentially demanding unpaid labor from job candidates and they get away with it because they can. Some employers will offer compensation for work product expected during the vetting process, but they are few and far between.
This is a challenging problem because, as you note, employers do need to find ways of determining if a given candidate will be a good fit. A new hire, especially for a senior position, is a significant investment of resources; hiring the wrong person only increases that investment. While some things can be learned from a series of interviews, there are criteria that can be assessed only through work product. Within reason, it is acceptable for an employer to make requests of potential hires. The limits of that reason are quite subjective, unfortunately.
I really empathize with your frustrations — so much work with no guarantee of success. Employers hold all the cards, or they did, until the Great Resignation began. You may, perhaps, challenge this dynamic by asking if there is compensation for the work being asked of you but that is risky. I do hope, in time, that employers find a more reasonable way of vetting potential hires and I wish you the very best in your job search.

The Silence Of The Lambs Ending Explained: A Game Of Cat And Mouse
Remember that scene in Jonathan Demme’s “Married to the Mob” where Michelle Pfeiffer’s mob wife gets a foot rub from Matthew Modine’s FBI agent to the strains of “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus? Nope, me neither. Demme stuck with the song, however, and used it to iconic effect in his next picture, the Oscar-winning crime thriller “The Silence of the Lambs.” You know the scene, where serial killer Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) tucks his meat-and-two-veg between his legs and does the little dance?
Demme’s slick psychological horror is stacked with those iconic moments, and it remains part of our collective pop consciousness even 30 years later. It was also one of only three films to take home the “Big Five” Academy awards: best picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay (the other two films were “It Happened One Night” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”). Subsequent expansion of the Lecterverse has been hit-and-miss, fleshing out the world of everyone’s favorite cannibal while also diminishing his mystique.
Brian Cox may have played Hannibal Lecter first in “Manhunter” and some argue the merits of Mads Mikkelsen in the “Hannibal” TV series, but Anthony Hopkins’ version of the character is the one people will still remember in 50 years’ time. With only 16 minutes of screen time, Hopkins created an indelible character and won an Oscar for what was practically a cameo appearance. Film buffs love quoting his lip-smacking lines, and he has been parodied so much that it’s easy to forget that his Lecter is defined mostly by stillness and watchfulness … until he sees a chance to escape. Then things get very bloody indeed.
“The Silence of the Lambs” is an expertly crafted and acted potboiler, with a lot of plot points flying around during that barnstorming second hour. Let’s dig into the key events of that final stretch.

Seems Monica Geller’s not the only one whose hair has a hard time with humidity.
Jennifer Aniston snapped a pair of makeup-free Instagram photos on Thursday that put her natural waves front and center.
“Okay, Humidity…🥵😵💫 Let’s go…..👊🏼💪🏼 @lolavie,” the 52-year-old “Friends” favorite captioned her selfies, tagging her new haircare line.
Aniston’s famous friends couldn’t get enough of her curls, with Reese Witherspoon, Rita Wilson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Octavia Spencer among those who praised the actress’ au naturel appearance in the comments.
“Sexy bed hair though,” wrote Ali Wentworth, while Sara Foster added, “Honestly, I’m very into it.”

Aniston, who memorably inspired scores of women to request “The Rachel” in the ’90s, typically wears her tresses smooth and straight these days.
The actress launched LolaVie’s first product, a glossing detangler ($25), last September, later adding a leave-in conditioner ($29) to the lineup.

In an interview with People at the time, she described her hair as having “300 personalities,” adding that its unruliness inspired her to create her brand.
“There’s not one strand that’s doing the same thing,” she said. “It’s always been a problem growing it and keeping it healthy. So, it’s been my thorn, for sure, which is why this all feels very organic for me to face a hair product head on and go, ‘Let’s make something great.’”

Even Aniston’s ex-husband, Justin Theroux, can’t deny the power of her products. In December, he posted a pic of the leave-in treatment on his Instagram Stories, writing, “LolaVie WORKS.”
