How could they not include Looney Tunes Back In Action? I was born in 1998, and that was my favourite film to ever come out in the early 2000s. He is, and will always be, my childhood hero.

Love this dude I find it funny that they skipped over like a whole bunch of movies to get to the whale I would’ve loved to hear about journey to the center of the Earth and his experience with Josh Hutcherson and Looney Tunes back in action, such an underrated movie

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
