Don’t get us wrong. We love a good red carpet roundup of women whose giant gowns, modern twists on suits, and generally over-the-top award show style fueled our fashion-loving childhood dreams (and still do, to be fair). So far tonight, though, as we’ve excitedly watched the arrivals on the 2018 Emmy Awards red carpet, it’s not the women’s fashion that’s caught our eye. Not that we should be surprised, but the gentlemen attending this year’s Emmys are showing up wearing some truly fashionable outfits. In fact, it is our humble opinion that they deserve to be recognized with their own roundup—and here we are.
Ahead, take a look at some of the most fashionable boys attending the 2018 Emmy Awards. Including the faces you all know and love from Stranger Things and much more, the lads ahead are making the red carpet look pretty dapper this evening.
While Jon Gruden has bemoaned the lack of a pass rush through two winless games in his return to the NFL, the Oakland Raiders coach said he has no second thoughts on trading Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears on Sept. 1.
WILMINGTON, NC—In an effort to provide aid to those affected by the devastating weather event, FEMA representatives confirmed Monday the completion of their mission to airdrop emergency cyanide pills for residents stranded by Hurricane Florence. “We’ve spared no expense in making sure the residents of these areas are…

Tom Hardy isn’t exactly pretty In Marvel’s new antihero flick Venom. But his watch sure is. The blacked-out pilot’s-style timepiece was made by Bremont, the cool up-and-coming British watch brand inspired by classic cars and aviation with strong ties to the military.
The U2/51-JET as it’s called takes design cues from a custom watch commissioned by the British Royal Air Force’s badass 100 Squadron, which provides “aggressor” aircraft for air combat training. Hardy is a Bremont fan and collector in real life – he’s also been seen sporting Rolexes and Omegas – so he didn’t need to act like he loves the rugged timepiece on his wrist.
The stealth fighter-inspired U2/51-JET is Bremont’s darkest watch to date, with a hardened stainless steel DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) case, an automatic movement and a 38 hour power reserve.
Water resistant to 100 meters (328 ft.) it also features a black smoked glass open caseback, a first for Bremont, through which the movement can be viewed.
Priced at $5,395 it’s right on point as blacked-out watches are all the rage on screen and off this season.
In collaboration with Venom studio Sony Pictures Bremont has also painted its prized vintage 1950s French military Broussard aircraft in a tribute to the film and the watch. Inspired by World War II fighters, artist Adi Granov gave the blacked-out plane a menacing mouth full or razor-sharp teeth. The plane is part of the private collection of Bremont co-founders Nick and Giles English.
Bremont is also offering watch fans the chance to win a pair of tickets to Venom’s Los Angeles premiere on October 1st, including airfare and accommodation. Check out https://www.bremont.com/venom-us for more details.
A TV writer who bravely shared a photo of “vegan brisket” on Twitter has been getting absolutely roasted by meat-eating BBQ aficionados slamming his mutant creation.
Kevin Biegel, who has written for Scrubs and Cougartown, shared the sponge-like image of his vegan dish, which he revealed was a mix of “jackfruit, seitan, miso, beer, Franklin BBQ sauce made w extra sugar so it carmelized to a crust.”
But Twitter’s BBQ boosters couldn’t resist brutally clapping back at Biegel’s attempt at recreating the smokehouse staple:
Biegel, a father of two whose IMDB credits include writing for shows including “Scrubs” and “Cougar Town,” later explained in the responses that he himself isn’t vegan, but began experimenting with alternatives after a recent heart attack.
“I eat [meat] in moderation. I make it for people. But I’m gonna stick with my heart doctors and the experts when it comes to my health, thanks,” Biegel added.
On the flip side, Biegel also got plenty of responses from followers asking for the recipe, and commending him on trying to change his diet, even though some suggested that his ingredients — namely the BBQ sauce — were a little high in sugar.
But on Monday Biegel renamed his dish “Vrisket” so as not to incur the wrath of real brisket lovers, and declared that he makes and enjoys the real stuff, too.
In the wake of Hurricane Florence and its destruction, thousands of people remain evacuated from their homes and seeking shelter away from the storm.
While most of those evacuees are probably (and rightfully) worried and not feeling their best, others are making the best of the situation and trying their luck on Tinder…and it’s totally working.
Claire Tran, a 21-year old woman who lives in Washington, DC, tweeted:
Apparently, the bios of those escaping Florence were exactly as you’d expect them to be. In an interview with INSIDER, Tran said they mostly read things like: “Hurricane evacuee,” “Visiting from NC, hurricane season,” and “Got evacuated from SC so let’s hurricane and chill?”
Hurricane and chill. The whirlwind date you’d never expect to go on, but Mother Nature made it happen.
Obviously, when something like that pops up on your Tinder feed, you need to swipe right, as Tran did. Interestingly, she says her matches have all been extremely chill about the whole hurricane situation and leaving their homes.
“I asked this guy about the process of evacuating, and he was like, ‘It was scary lol. Yeah, my school finna be wreckeedddddd,’ He just seemed bored and didn’t know what to do with his time in DC. Then I asked this other guy how long he was here and he was like, ‘Not a damn clue, my home is getting destroyed.'”
Wow. If only we could be as unbothered as this guy. And he’s getting matches on Tinder!
Tran added: “I’m from Sacramento, California, and never really had to evacuate for anything, so I was kind of just amazed at how nonchalant they were. I feel like if I were escaping a life-threatening hurricane that could destroy my house I wouldn’t even be changing my bio and trying swiping on Tinder.”
Same.
Tran isn’t the only one seeing these blasé Tinder users during the storm. A 24-year old nurse, Mackenzie Leone, from Greenville, North Carolina, says her Tinder match invited her to something they called a “hurricane party.”
“People here are literally celebrating a huge storm about to happen and it’s hilarious to me! I’ve had one person ask me to be his ‘hurricane buddy’ and another guy even offered to come pick me up and take me back to his place to hang out before conditions get too bad to make sure I’m ok since I’m here all by myself. Maybe my soul mate is out there in the storm somewhere.”
The best part of all this is that this “Hurricane Tinder” is actually working. Desperate times, right?
Evacuees aren’t the only ones on the dating app, though. Florence herself is out there looking for love too.
Well, that’s one way to make a devastating storm a little more cheerful.
A green tide of legal cannabis is rolling in, and Coca-Cola might be ready to finally ride the wave.
CNN reported Monday that Coca-Cola has issued a statement indicating it is monitoring the popularity of CBD. That’s the chemical element in cannabis that doesn’t get you high, but may well have positive effects on pain and inflammation.
Bloomberg first took note of Coke’s move and quoted spokesman Kent Landers, who said Coke is “closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world.”
Landers also said that the “space is evolving quickly. No decisions have been made at this time.”
The pro-weed movement grows every day
Even though the soft drink giant is only studying CBD, it’s connecting with Aurora Cannabis, a Canadian weed distributor. And Bloomberg reports the news of Coke’s interest spiked Aurora’s stock shares in big way.
Coke’s possible foray into the marijuana sector comes as beverage makers are trying to add cannabis as a trendy ingredient while their traditional businesses slow. Last month, Corona beer brewer Constellation Brands Inc. announced it will spend $3.8 billion to increase its stake in Canopy Growth Corp., the Canadian marijuana producer with a value that exceeds C$13 billion ($10 billion).
Molson Coors Brewing Co. is starting a joint venture with Quebec’s Hexo’s Corp., formerly known as Hydropothecary Corp., to develop cannabis drinks in Canada. Diageo PLC, maker of Guinness beer, is holding discussions with at least three Canadian cannabis producers about a possible deal, BNN Bloomberg reported last month. Heineken NV’s Lagunitas craft-brewing label has launched a brand specializing in non-alcoholic drinks infused with THC, marijuana’s active ingredient.
Cannabis is still illegal at the federal level and while it’s been legalized in many states for medical use, recreational weed laws don’t move that fast as local legislatures and individual townships will often pass their own anti-weed statutes regardless of voter approval.
Still, as more major corporations take notice and it becomes obvious that cannabis is an extremely profitable business, these joint ventures will likely become pretty commonplace. Hopefully.
