What do you think of when you think of Rob Lowe? Hotness?  

Shame on you. 

In an interview with Vulture this week, the 51-year-old actor argued that Hollywood has a problem with the objectification of men, not just women.

"People go on and on about the objectification of women, and rightly so," Lowe said. "But what about the objectification of men? When was the last time you saw 'Grey’s Anatomy'?"

The topic is on Lowe's mind because of his new show, "The Grinder," on Fox, which premiered on Wednesday to solid reviews. In the comedy, he plays an actor who starred as a lawyer in a legal drama (also called "The Grinder") for years, before quitting the show in part because he felt objectified. 

In the Vulture interview, Lowe mentions an upcoming scene from "The Grinder" in which his character tries to object to his objectification. Lowe explains that the creator of the show-within-the-show, played by Jason Alexander, asks him to take his shirt of "one too many times," so he gets upset. But when Alexander's character responds, "Man, you’re the Grinder. You’re the sex symbol. Don’t overthink this. Give the people what they want," Lowe's character reluctantly agrees to do a comedic striptease. 

Lowe's protestations aside, the objectification of men in Hollywood is actually a topic that's gotten a fair amount of attention recently, in part because of the emphasis movies and TV shows like "Magic Mike" and, yes, Shonda Rhimes' "Grey's Anatomy" place on male beauty.

But not everyone thinks it's a bad thing. Lowe's "Parks and Recreation" co-star Chris Pratt, for example, said back in June that he hasn't been offended by the ogling he's gotten since he sprouted a six-pack.

"I think it’s appalling that for a long time only women were objectified, but I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it’s important to even things out," Pratt told The Guardian.

“Not objectify women less, but objectify men just as often as we objectify women," he continued. "There are a lot of women who got careers out of it, and I’m using it to my advantage. And at the end of the day, our bodies are objects."

Now, this last sentence seems to conflate two different meanings of the word "object." It's accurate to say that the human body is an "object" in the sense that it is a physical entity, but the verb "objectify" refers to the division between subject and object. When we say that objectification is a problem, we're saying that we shouldn't think of other people only in relation to our subjective desires, not that that we shouldn't point out that people have physical bodies. 

Still, Pratt is onto something that Lowe glosses over: the objectification of female bodies is more problematic than the objectification of male bodies because of our history of thinking of women as nothing more than sex objects. On the other hand, Lowe would probably admit that point -- while insisting that neither is ultimately a good thing.

Julia Roberts was spotted on the set of her new movie "Mother's Day" looking a lot like Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour in a short, bobbed wig with blunt bangs and dark, oversized sunglasses. 

The 47-year-old also stars alongside Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson in the Garry Marshall directed flick that continues in the same tradition as "New Year's Eve" and "Valentine's Day," featuring tons of celebrity cameos and interwoven stories.

Nick Jonas has played two young gay men on TV this year, but the 23-year-old actor says there's more to what motivates his choices than a character's sexuality. 

"In the case of 'Scream Queens,' there's comedy within the role and I think at its core it really is a social commentary about stereotypes and breaking down some of those barriers," Jonas told USA Today of his role in Ryan Murphy's Fox comedy playing gay frat brother Boone. 

Jonas added that he doesn't consider "whether the character is gay or straight, but about what the story is and what the audience is going to get out of it."

As for playing closeted boxer Nate on DirecTV's "Kingdom," Jonas hopes his character's struggles might help others who can relate to what he goes through. 

With 'Kingdom,' my character is going through a really different journey where he's struggling with who he is. I think that's a highly relatable story line that a lot of my fans, both gay and straight, have come and told me that that's been incredibly important for them: to see the journey he's on and to know they're not alone, whatever it is that they're going through in their life that makes them feel different or strange. There's real peace and a community and a story being told that feels honest and grounded.

The actor and performer recently said he is "honored" to play roles that impact the LGBT community, calling it a "blessing." 

Works for us.

"Why the fuck am I doing this?" 

That's the question Andrew Garfield asked during an interview with Vulture reporter Kyle Buchanan while promoting his latest film "99 Homes," about a father who struggles to get back the home his family was evicted from because of a greedy real estate mogul. 

"Coming in today to do interviews, I’m like, Why?" he revealed. "I know that I’m an actor and it's part of the job, and I feel lucky I get to do that, but with the interviews, it’s such a weird thing. What do I have to say?" 

Garfield actually had a lot to say, about inaction ("I just suddenly feel like my head is wrapped in cellophane. How do we wake up, how do I wake up, what do I do?") and the complexities of stardom ("I’m still fucked up in my own ways, and insecure, and scared, and don’t really know who I am."). He isn't sure just how much to reveal to the world.  

"My priority is the work, and the work is dependent on people not knowing very much about me," he said. "So where’s the balance? Where’s the line that I have to walk, and we all have to walk? Because I do want to make a difference in the world, I really do, and that’s a really cheesy thing to want."

The problematic nature of celebrity culture is something Garfield has brought up in other recent interviews. While speaking with The Daily Beast, he testified against being anyone's idol. 

“It goes back to this false worship thing. Being on the receiving end of that is what really tips me over the edge. That’s what made me really go, ‘We’re fucked.’ Because if you’re looking up to me in a way that’s unnatural, then you’re looking in the wrong place.”

All the weed in the world probably couldn't mellow Snoop Dogg's disdain for Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Josh Scobee.

Snoop, a Steelers diehard, vented on Instagram after Scobee missed two field goals late in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday. Baltimore eventually won in overtime, 23-20.

"We need to get rid of that motherf***er," Snoop said in his refreshing analysis. You'll have to listen to the motherf***ing rest for yourselves:

Next time tell us what you really think, Snoop.

Ronda Rousey is basically already a superhero, but now she might've gotten a little closer to playing one in the movies.

During a Reddit AMA in August, Rousey, the UFC bantamweight champion, told fans she'd like to vie for the role of Captain Marvel. This led to a deluge of fan art, headlines and plenty of big advocates of the idea. Though, the latest supporter may be the biggest of all.

"I love it," said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to IGN when asked about Rousey's campaign for the role. 

Feige said casting for the Marvel movies is all about finding "the best person to inhabit the character." He explained, "Whether that is an actor like Chris Hemsworth who bulks up, or a wrestler like Dave Bautista who played Drax who ends up being an amazing performer, an amazing actor and a clever and witty and pointed comedic actor."

A number of actresses, including Emily Blunt and Bryce Dallas Howard, have already been rumored for the "Captain Marvel" movie, which is scheduled to come out in 2018. But in an interview with MTV, Feige said there wouldn't be any announcements this year.

Still, Feige also told MTV that fan lists can sometimes be "really enlightening." So keep that Rousey support coming!

"Avengers" baddie Thanos might as well tap out now.

"Captain Marvel" is set to hit theaters November 2018.

When Miley Cyrus chopped off her hair sometime roughly around 2012, we knew the transition from Disney star to grown-up, edgy singer was complete. But on Friday, Cyrus shared a picture of a new look, which probably has something to do with the singer hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.

If we didn't know better, seeing Miley clad in a long brown wig would make us think that it was a photo of the star's "Hannah Montana" days. 

Be sure to check out Cyrus when she hosts (and performs) on SNL on Saturday, Oct. 3. The singer said she's hosting "with or without clothes," so we'll just have to tune in and see what happens.

Recently, Matt Damon came under fire for making tone-deaf comments during an episode of HBO's "Project Greenlight." The actor (poorly) attempted to explain diversity in film while speaking with producer Effie Brown, a black woman who knows a thing or two about diversity (or lack there of) in Hollywood.  

Damon later addressed his remarks, saying in part, "I am sorry that they offended some people, but, at the very least, I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood."

However pure his intentions, his apology was missing something pretty imperative: An actual apology. 

Damon was later more contrite about his diversity comments in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, but not before making another set of offensive remarks suggesting gay actors shouldn't come out.

Of course Damon isn't the only high-profile offender. There's a legacy of non-apologies in the public eye, from Jonah Hill to Miley Cyrus. The pattern is familiar, with perpetrators saying, "I'm sorry you're offended" rather than "I'm sorry I offended you."

Their behavior poses a pretty powerful question: Why do we have such a hard time owning up to our wrongdoings?

The secret to our apology aversion may lie in a neurological bias toward taking a rosy view of ourselves. According to social psychologist Elliot Aronson, co-author of the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), our brains believe that we're always doing "the right thing" despite our behavior showing the contrary. 

This sometimes creates mental tension, frequently referred to in psychology as cognitive dissonance, and occurs when our actions don't follow our beliefs. It's the same phenomenon that allows a smoker to both know cigarettes are unhealthy and still blow through two packs a day, Aronson wrote.

Many people naturally behave in a way that aligns with a certain self-concept, agreed Alex Lickerman, assistant vice president for the University of Chicago's student health and counseling services and author of The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self. So when we apologize for something we did or said, our subconscious feels somewhat fraudulent.

"It's admitting that you're not consistent with your self-concept, which is very difficult to tolerate," Lickerman told The Huffington Post. "If you claim you're not a bigot, or whatever it is you identify with, to apologize for doing the contrary is to admit you did those things." 

But it doesn't have to be this way. The key to getting better at apologizing is freeing ourselves from labels, according to Lickerman.

"Just because you failed doesn't mean you're a failure," he said. "To get better at saying you're sorry, you first need to disconnect from the idea that a mistake turns you into someone you know you're not."

There are also a few other pointers to keep in mind when it comes time to fess up to an error, Lickerman explained. Here are a few hallmarks of a good apology:

• Take responsibility. If you're apologizing for something, you need to own what you did, Lickerman advises.


• Offer an honest explanation. "It needs to be genuine," Lickermain said. "People can spot a disingenuous attitude from a mile away."


• Determine to do better in the future. An apology doesn't mean anything if it isn't a lesson.


• Be done with it. "Don't fawn over it, don't draw it out," Lickerman said. "Apologize then move on."

Ultimately, Lickerman said, apologizing for something we know is wrong will help clear that tension that cognitive dissonance creates. And isn't that a lot easier than living our lives defending poor behavior?

Just a little food for thought for Damon's next press tour.

It takes a lot of time and makeup to look like Kylie Jenner, but one fan has it down to a science.

Gabrielle Waters, 19, of Hartland, Michigan not only idolizes the 18-year-old Jenner, but she also bears an uncanny resemblance to the reality star. 

Waters, who works at a retirement home, insists that it doesn't take a lot of makeup to look like her favorite celebrity, and her beauty routine happens to be a lot like Jenner's. Waters says she uses fake eyelashes and the reality star's favorite lip liner to achieve the perfect pout.  

"What I like about Kylie is that she is very beautiful and encourages girls to do what they love and be happy," Waters, who often gets stopped in the street for her extreme likeness to Jenner, told the Mirror.

"I like how she's independent, how she's bought her own home and has a whole bunch of clothing lines she's attached to." 

In 2014, a fashion and beauty blogger made headlines for her resemblance to Jenner's sister, Kim Kardashian. Marianna Hewitt, who once interviewed Kardashian herself in 2011, has said the starlet is "beautiful, hard working and such a sweet person." 

Take a look at her pics below:

Demi Lovato stripped down and bared it all for a no-makeup, no-retouching photo shoot with Vanity Fair. 

"What does it mean to be confident?" Lovato said. "It means letting go, being authentic, saying I don’t give a fuck and this is who I am. I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free. What if we do a photo shoot where it’s totally raw? Super sexy, but no makeup, no fancy lighting, no retouching and no clothing. Let’s do it here, let’s do it now.”

She looks gorgeous in the spread and the behind-the-scenes video on set in a hotel room. 

"It's empowering," the 23-year-old, who has battled eating disorders, says in the video, "and it shows other women you can get to a place where you can overcome the obstacles of body-image issues. You can feel comfortable and confident in your skin." 

Head over to Vanity Fair to see more.

The hilarious "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" debuted it's third season last Sunday, and fans already saw some major changes to the precinct and the lovable law enforcers therein: Captain Holt is now relegated to pigeon mascot-naming in the NYPD's ineffective PR department with faithful assistant and "the human form of the 100 emoji," Gina Linetti. Bill Hader enters as Captain Seth Dozerman, complete with tablets that track productivity. Amy and Jake are in L-U-V and are, finally, not afraid to say it. If the premiere was any indication, we're in for a few more surprises before season's end. 

Grounding us in all the newness is Stephanie Beatriz, who plays the no-nonsense, leather-jacket wearing Rosa Diaz. Beatriz spoke on the phone with The Huffington Post to give us insight into the new season, her character's tough exterior and how she pursues her interests outside of acting. 

What was it like having Bill Hader as your police captain?

Hilarious, adorable and extremely humble. I complimented him, obviously, on his work in Amy Schumer’s film, “Trainwreck.” He was so good in that. And he’s so humble about it, like, “Oh, thanks, thanks for seeing it,” like it was some little movie, and I’m like, “Dude. That was a big movie.” It’s funny, because he breaks a lot, which is really fun to have on set. He’s so joyous in his work that it was really infectious.

Will we see, in Season 3, the captain position at the Nine-Nine sort of become this Defense Against the Dark Arts Hogwarts situation? [Spoiler: Hader's character dies the same episode he's introduced.]

Ha! Um, I love that you’re a "Harry Potter" fan like myself. I think, definitely, there’s some shift ups happening. I mean, as you’ve already seen in the first episode, that the Vulture’s back. I know the squad doesn’t want him to stay for long, so I’m pretty sure they’re going to do their best to get him out of that position, whether or not that will be seen in the rest of the season, I can’t say more than that. You wanna hate the Vulture, so how long is he gonna last? That’s a really good question. So we’ll get to see it all get played out. 

When you started the show, how much of Rosa was described to you, and how much of her character did you bring to it?

When I auditioned for the role of Rosa, she was actually called Megan. The name changed after I won the role. When I auditioned, there were just little scenes that were written. There wasn’t a full pilot that I got to see at that point. So I had to make predictions based on what was written, and there was a great scene where the camera’s on Rosa -- kind of one of the flashbacks -- she’s sitting around the precinct and it’s her birthday and somebody hands her a gift. She opens the gift and pulls out a sweater, and the sweater looks exactly like the sweater that she’s got on. And the lines were: “What the hell is this? What makes you idiots think that I would ever wear something like this?” I thought, OK, that’s really clear as to who she is. She doesn’t take shit from anybody, she knows herself really well, and regardless of whether it's logical to other people, she’s gonna stand by her decisions.

Some of the further characterizations like the leather jacket, and the all black [clothes], that came from me. It’s logical that that’s who she’d be, so I went through my closet and pulled out my badass leather jacket, and my cool, big black boots, and my jeans with the leather on the side, all that stuff came from what I thought she was gonna look like. I’m not ever trying to put myself in somebody else’s box, you just have to sort of go, what would be the most logical, the most rational, the most exciting to me? That’s sort of where I started with her. Physically, I think Rosa always looks like maybe she just stepped out of a Whitesnake video.

Do you think it’s important to have a female character on TV who’s as unapologetic as Rosa?

Yeah! I mean, I think particularly for women, it can be very difficult to be labeled a “bitch.” You know? Tina Fey has really said it best in her book: “Bitches get shit done!” It can be hard to say what you think and put yourself out there in that way. I mean, it’s important to see characters, for example, like the ones Shonda Rhimes writes, seeing strong female characters that go after what they need and want in life. It’s important for those stories to be told because they’re real stories. There are badass women all around us, all the time. Those kinds of pictures need to be reflected on television. Not only because it’s awesome to see them be badass, but also because they reflect real people.

Obviously, Rosa’s a really blown-up version of that, but I think that it’s really fun to see a woman in that kind of role. Granted, you don’t want to run into just archetypes, but the writers have done a really great job in the last season, and this season, of letting [Rosa’s] veneer crack a little bit, you know, she’s not the Terminator. Even the Terminator has feelings! So I think it will be fun to see some of her vulnerabilities come out. She’s always gonna be badass Rosa, but she’s got some feelings in there, too.

There are badass women all around us, all the time. Those kinds of pictures need to be reflected on television."
Stephanie Beatriz

Especially with her relationship with Nick Cannon’s character, we’ve sort of seen more of her tenderness come out, slowly.

Yeah, truly. And also her friendship with Amy, her friendship with Gina; I mean, there’s tenderness in there in her weird way of expressing it. For example, that time that she went to Charles’ ex-wife’s engagement party with a dress that she’d never be caught dead in. She did that for her friend, so that her friend would feel supported. She and Amy set up [Gina’s] apartment in the first season so that she would feel safer; she put locks on her windows and timers on her lights. It’s not always about a hug for her, but it’s always about showing her friends that she’s always there for them.

What female characters, while you were growing up, stuck out for you? 

Well, definitely Elaine from “Seinfeld.” I mean, that to me is one of the greatest female characters ever. Also, sort of like a very interesting character in that like, in that show she’s part of a crew, kind of a dude crew. And she’s allowed to have all the female emotions she wanted -- all the human emotions she wanted. It spans the breadth of craziness, vulnerability, ridiculousness. It was very rare that it’d be like, “Oh, she’s the only girl on this crew.” She’s just part of the group, and I love that she wasn’t just defined by her gender, she was defined more by her character -- or lack thereof. [Laughs] [Julia Louis-Dreyfus] is just an absolutely brilliant actress.

You used to live in New York. Are there things about that experience that you use in the show?

It probably has filtered in there somewhere. It’s been a minute since I lived there -- I moved to Los Angeles in 2011 -- but there are things about living in Brooklyn that are reflected in our show. For example, the proximity to people, like there’s always people around. In LA, a lot of times you’re in a car, just by yourself all day running from this thing to this thing. In New York, if you do have a day that’s filled with shit like that, you’re up in everyone’s faces all the time. You see that a lot in the precinct: you’re never really alone unless you’ve got a scene in the interrogation room. Especially in that first episode [of Season 3], with Nick and Amy trying to keep their burgeoning relationship secret within this very crowded precinct, it’s gonna come out eventually. That’s the main thing that New York taught me is like, whatever it is, it’s on display for everyone to see. Having a bad day, crying in the subway -- 85 people are gonna see it. It’s a lot of like, everything that you’re going through is there for everyone else to see. And that is definitely reflected in the show.

I also wanted to ask about your spot on the LA City Municipal Dance Squad. What drew you to audition for them?

I started following their Instagram. I used to be on dance team in high school, it was called drill team in Texas. And when I started doing theater sophomore year, I had to make a decision which thing I was gonna follow. It was a big shift because I sort of had all these friends on dance squad, and when I started to do theater, my whole identity shifted. Bascially, the popular kids stopped hanging out with me and I found my place within the weirdos of the theater group and that felt like home.

I’ve always missed dancing, so joining the dance squad was like, “Oh, it’s a bunch of weirdos who also like dance!” They’re all comedy people, and actors -- I don’t know if you’ve seen any videos of Angela [Trimbur] on YouTube, but they’re ridiculous, she’s so funny. She will dance like no one’s watching. So I just thought, what do I have to lose? And it’s been one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life. Plus, it’s led me to some really amazing friends. It’s been a really cool experience, because not only is it a great workout, but it’s also a way to bond with women. It’s hard to make friends as an adult. You gotta work at it, you know? You have to ask people to lunch, and if you don’t know them, it’s weird. It’s really like, “I don’t know how to make friends!” It’s so much easier in college. And [the dance squad] is a way to unite girls with similar interests.

It’s a cool thing to see that you can take the creative drive and use it for acting and also dancing.
The cool thing about that kind of stuff -- extracurriculars, if you will, is that you don’t have to do just one thing. Some people want to say, “Oh, you’re just this, or you’re just that,” when it’s like, I don’t know. I do that, and then I also have these other things that I love and that I want to experience.

Are you still filming the third season?
Yeah, we’re filming! We’re doing Episode 7 and then next will be Episode 8, but we’ll be shooting probably up until the spring.

Are you involved in any other projects you can tell me about?
This summer I wrapped “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday” for Netflix, the new one produced by Judd Apatow, which I’m super excited about. It’s going to be really fun. Lots of ridiculous, fun memories from shooting that. I’m part of the girl gang in that with Jess Pohly and Alia Shawkat. Total departure from Rosa. I’m slightly unrecognizable, which might be kind of fun.

One last very important question: were you team “Petey” or team “Polly” for the NYPD pigeon mascot -- or did you like Captain Holt’s Pepper O’Pigeon?

I really liked Pepper O’Pigeon. It was the obvious choice. Pepper all the way. I mean, Captain Holt’s rarely wrong about anything.

Miley Cyrus has been an outspoken gay rights advocate for years -- and now she's bringing her views into her music, as well. 

The singer just released an emotional new song called "Hands of Love" about the struggle for equality. It's on the soundtrack for the new movie "Freeheld," which tells the true story of a New Jersey police officer with terminal cancer, played by Julianne Moore, fighting a legal battle to secure pension benefits for her domestic partner, played by Ellen Page.

You can listen to the song here:

The lyrics of the song, which was written by openly gay producer Linda Perry, are a little abstract, but suggest that the gay rights movement is driven by love and solidarity, ultimately allowing LGBT people to gain strength by stepping into their identity. 

"Hands of Love" is the second LGBT-themed song Cyrus has released in the past month -- though it's very different from the first, "Bang Me Box," an explicit ode to lesbian sex.

Cyrus, who was recently rumored to be dating Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell, came out as pansexual in August. She also recently said, in an interview with Paper magazine, that she had told her mother that she was attracted to both men and women when she was 14 years old.
