The most unsettling interview of the year never happened.
“The Talk: Cher & David Lynch” is a fake. A video montage by Copenhagen artist Jonas Hollerup Helle that stitches two famous people into a late-night show from a timeline that doesn’t exist.
No studio. No audience. Just Cher and Lynch floating in a black void.
And somehow it works. A few sentences in, you stop asking whether it’s real. The pauses start to mean something. The silence feels like it’s hiding something.
It looks and feels like a bootleg VHS tape: rough, awkward, a little off. That’s the point.
Helle gets what makes Lynch, Lynch. It’s not weirdness for its own sake. It’s rhythm. Pacing. Slight discomfort. The sense that something dark is hanging in the air…
and, apparently, right over Cher.
Watch it below ↓ and tell me the moment you forgot it was fake.
In 1993, Pamela Anderson sat down on the set of Snapdragon in Los Angeles and told the story of how she got discovered.
It started at a football game. In 1989, a camera at a BC Lions game in Vancouver put her on the stadium screen in a Labatt T-shirt, and the crowd went wild. A modelling job followed, then Playboy, then Home Improvement and Baywatch.
Did you know one stadium screen changed her whole career?
People keep claiming Ines de Ramon mistreats Brad Pitt, yet he's smiling and looks completely relaxed next to her in these photos. Does this look like a man being mistreated to you?

Donald Trump once spent a day doing 4 jobs inside his own hotel that he had never done before. The first guest who needed him trusted him with her dog.
It was a gamble, and he knew it. A billionaire with no training, a freezing street and somebody else's dog at the end of the leash. "The fact that she trusted me with that dog was amazing. Probably she shouldn't have, but it worked out."
The dog made it back safely. The next job came with a burger he wasn't allowed to eat.
On room service duty, he asked the kitchen whether someone like him could take a bite out of the burger before bringing it up to the room. The answer was no. So he carried it up untouched, admired the tray ("This is serious room service") and told the guest he hoped for "a nice, big, fat tip."
Then a housekeeper named Mia handed him a vacuum, and the boss became the trainee. Pull the covers up tight. Vacuum until a single piece of lint is gone. When she pointed him to the bathroom, the man who owned the building hesitated: "Oh, I'm not into bathrooms. I don't know if I could ever do that job." They settled on the sink. He sprayed it, wiped it and changed his mind on the spot. "I like this job, Mia."
By the end, he admitted all 4 jobs were tough. You had to be sharp, you had to be smart, you had to get along with people, and it was hard work. Then he turned to Mia: "I'm your apprentice." Her answer was 2 words: "You're hired."
The man famous for saying "You're fired" ended the day getting hired by his own housekeeper.
Next time a boss tells you your job is easy, send him this video.
In 2015, Jim Carrey showed up to an interview and flashed what many viewers call a secret sign.
In the video below, he talks about it with a completely straight face.
One viewer wrote under the clip: "My sister was in this show. She told us, when he was telling about this, nobody didn't laugh. This video has been redacted. He's not trying to be funny he's serious."
After that interview, fans noticed how different he looked. Compare photos from before and after, and many people say they barely recognize him.
Doesn't that seem strange to you?

In 2004, a man from London sold everything he owned, down to his clothes, and put all $135,300 on a single spin of a roulette wheel in Las Vegas.
His name is Ashley Revell. In the video below, the casino manager at the Plaza asks him one last time: “Are you sure you want to make this bet with your life savings?”
He says yes.
The casino makes it clear they would never “knowingly condone or accept someone taking a wager of their entire life savings.” They let him do it anyway.
There are no tricks here. No system, no edge. Roulette has a house edge on every spin, and his odds of winning were just under 50/50.
He stands at the table and can’t decide. “What color, then?” “I don’t know.” “Oh man, too many decisions.”
Then he picks red. “Can I kiss it?”
The ball lands on 7. Red.
$135,300 became $270,600 in a few seconds. He used part of it to start an online poker company.
Was it the dumbest bet in Las Vegas history, or the smartest marketing stunt anyone ever pulled with their life savings?

Michael Jackson's estate is sitting on $850 million in cash. The trust he left for his three children hasn't received a single dollar in 17 years.
This week his daughter Paris asked a judge to order $600 million moved into it.
The trust was in his will. His kids were supposed to start getting their inheritance at 30, 35 and 40. Prince turns 30 in February. The trust is still empty, so every dollar they get depends on one man, the executor John Branca.
Last week Paris went after his pay. She says the executors and their law firm want the court to approve $109 million for two years of work. She says that when she started asking questions, the money she and her brothers get was cut by millions.
The estate's side: Michael died about $500 million in debt, and Branca turned it into an empire worth $2 to $3 billion. The estate says Paris has already received about $65 million, and it can't fund the trust while it fights the IRS over $700 million in taxes and penalties.
In the video below, Paris is 11, at her father's memorial. "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine."
Is Paris being kept from what her father left her, or is she going after the man who saved his legacy?
In 1985, Michael Jackson invited actor Tony Cox to his house to teach him the moonwalk. Cox never went.
In the video below, Cox tells the story himself.
The two met on the set of Captain EO, the 3D sci-fi film produced by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Cox played the alien Hooter.
Between takes, they started talking, and Cox admitted he wanted to learn the moonwalk.
Jackson didn't brush him off. He invited Cox over to his house so he could teach him the dance in person.
But Cox says he never took him up on it. Between his busy work schedule and his own hesitation, the lesson never happened.
Years later, Cox became best known as Marcus in Bad Santa (2003), opposite Billy Bob Thornton.
Did you know Michael Jackson once offered to teach Tony Cox the moonwalk, and he turned it down?

Quincy Jones produced Thriller, the best-selling album of all time. Michael Jackson’s estate said he was owed $392,000.
Quincy’s nickname for Michael was “Smelly.” He called him his little brother.
In the video below, Michael calls Oprah’s show to say hi: “I love you more, Quincy.” Years later, Quincy says what the estate was really after: “It’s just the money. The estate, the lawyers.”
While they made Bad, Michael told his manager that Quincy was “losing it.” His next plan was to hire rap producers and pay them “five times what they were paying me.”
After Michael died in 2009, his estate reused the old recordings. The movie “This Is It” made $261 million. Then came two Cirque du Soleil shows and new remixes. Quincy said his contracts gave him a cut every time those masters were used.
He asked for $30 million. In 2017, a jury gave him $9.4 million.
Quincy’s statement: “This lawsuit was never about Michael.”
In 2020, an appeals court cut the award to $2.5 million. The estate’s lawyer said they had been vindicated.
The case for the estate: Quincy got paid as producer decades ago, and every dollar he wins comes out of the money left to Michael’s kids.
Quincy died in 2024. He was 91.
One man built the sound. The other man’s estate decided what it was worth.
So was Quincy protecting his work, or cashing in on his little brother?
Connectivity when it matters most
During natural disasters and emergencies, fast and reliable communication is critical. Floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and other crises often cut communities off at the very moment they need connectivity the most. Starlink can be deployed within minutes, providing high-speed, low-latency internet even in the most remote or hard-hit areas.
From the wildfires in Maui and Los Angeles to the earthquakes in Vanuatu and Ecuador, the Starlink constellation of more than 10,000 satellites in low Earth orbit has helped emergency services stay connected and families stay in touch with their loved ones. Starlink offers an end-to-end solution and keeps people connected at every stage, even in the toughest conditions on Earth.
Starlink in disaster response: key figures
Emergency direct-to-cell: according to SpaceX, more than 4.4 million people have connected to Starlink Mobile during emergencies.
Venezuela earthquake: more than 700,000 people gained internet access where mobile operator towers were down (reported by a single outlet).
Hurricane Ida, USA, 2021: per SpaceX’s own case study, Starlink helped reconnect more than one million businesses and households in Louisiana.
Florida and North Carolina hurricanes: satellite-to-cell service reached more than 27,000 people.
Germany floods, 2021: terminals were set up within minutes, and the number of missing persons dropped significantly.
Hurricane Helene: around 60 terminals were initially sent to several states.
Most figures are reported by SpaceX and cannot be summed, because the numbers overlap and count different things (people, devices, households).
Not all heroes wear capes.

🚀 THIS IS NOT JUST A CAR. IT’S A STATEMENT.
Meet the Tesla Roadster — one of the most ambitious electric supercars ever announced. Its futuristic design, dramatic doors, and incredible performance ambitions make it look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. ⚡
🤯 Did you know? Tesla has claimed that the next-generation Roadster could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds. That's supercar territory — without a traditional gasoline engine!
Would you choose this electric beast over a Ferrari or Lamborghini? 👀🔥

A new robot just got presented, and it makes Jurassic Park look like a petting zoo. 🦖
It’s huge. It walks straight at the crowd. Nobody runs, everybody films.
Forget the boring robots that fold laundry and vacuum floors.
This is NOT a boring robot.

The boring robots are winning. No laser eyes. No backflips. No billion-dollar stage.Just a humanoid in a jacket and jeans, standing in a normal room, moving its hands like a person explaining something.While everyone chases spectacle, the quiet ones are learning how to exist in the real world.This is what progress actually looks like.What matters more right now — impressive demos or robots that don’t look ridiculous in an office?
