Anne Hathaway Just Brilliantly Trolled Pseudoscience With A Clementine Prank On 'Ellen'

Pseudoscience is out there, friends, and Anne Hathaway just made a very strong statement on, of all things, The Ellen Show.


The Academy Award-winning actress showed up to talk about being a Fred Savage fan (remember The Wonder Years?) and about what it's like parenting a three-year-old son.

But it was when she began her slow and steady prank of the studio audience that things really got interesting.

Hathaway began telling a story about a recent trip along the California coast:

"I found a book in there by this guy who used to be really big – Dr. Q. And he wrote a book called Citrus Healing. And it was all the ways that you can incorporate citrus into your life to kind of like raise your health. And one of the things was how to incorporate citrus into your meditation practice. And it was called 'Clementime.' It was cute."

Hathaway then had each audience member hold peeled clementine oranges to their mouths––and then blow in and out of them. She even had the people there make weird sounds as they blew into the fruit.

"Do you guys feel a little bit better? Do you feel good?" she asked.

A few audience members looked confused. Others looked exasperated. But a few said they did, in fact, feel good. Who knew blowing into a clementine could be so soothing?

Here's the problem, though: It's really not.

"That's impossible, I made the whole thing up!" Hathaway said to those who said they'd felt the positive effects of her "clementime" exercise.

"The takeaway of this is do not put something in your mouth just because a celebrity tells you to."

The son of convicted felon and disgraced former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn picked the wrong actor to express how triggered he is by equality and basic human rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

Michael Flynn Jr., a right wing MAGA influencer milking his daddy's former proximity to Trump for all he can grift, took to X early Sunday morning—the first day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month—to make sure everyone knows he's a homophobic and transphobic bigot, as if anyone had any doubts.

A Brazilian national, Gomes Da Silva entered the U.S. in 2012 on a student visa, which has since lapsed, according to a court filing by his attorney. The filing states that he is eligible for asylum and plans to apply.

Jasmine Crockett Rips FEMA Head Who Told Staff He Wasn't Aware U.S. Has A Hurricane Season

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett harshly criticized David Richardson, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), after he told his staff—a day after the start of the Atlantic hurricane season—that he wasn't aware that the U.S. has a hurricane season.

The hurricane season, which began Sunday and runs through Nov. 30, is widely regarded as FEMA’s most demanding period, when the nation faces heightened risk of large-scale disasters that can strain or exceed the capacity of state and local emergency management systems.

John Oliver Expertly Rips Family Of Man Pardoned By Trump After Defrauding Nursing Home

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver tore into the family of nursing home executive Paul Walczak—who went to prison after defrauding his own business—after President Donald Trump conveniently issued a pardon once Walczak's mother attended a $1 million-per-person political fundraiser at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

Walczak submitted a pardon request to Trump around Inauguration Day, emphasizing not only his own legal troubles but also the political prominence of his mother, Elizabeth Fago. The application noted that Fago had raised millions for Trump and other Republican candidates.
