If you saw the movie Hustlers, you know it was about a bunch of strippers trying to get by. Well, to get ready for her role, Constance Wu went above and beyond.
She went undercover at a strip club.

When Vince McMahon was putting his XFL franchise back together, a lot of people were throwing Tim Tebow’s name around as being a perfect fit. So did Tim ever have talks with the XFL?

Here’s the deal. I’m sure it was an accident. But, you know who ever put that site together for them actually visited that site on purpose, and even had the link copied for some reason.
