The talk show host and 'You' superfan couldn't contain her emotions after Ross Matthews surprised her by locking her in a glass cage à la the Netflix drama—before bringing out Penn Badgley.

Stars can seem so distant from the every day, but sometimes you get to witness a movie star doing something that you can empathize with.

This is what happened when Drew Barrymore got a birthday surprise in which she got to recreate a scenario from one of her favorite shows right now, You on Netflix.


In it, serial killer Joe—played by Penn Badgley—keeps victims in a glass cage. Barrymore finds the show interesting and Badgley very attractive. Particularly Badgley in that role.

So Barrymore was locked in the recreated glass cage on her TV show, then Badgley showed up and Barrymore melted down with emotion.

"You're not supposed to want this," Badgley told Barrymore, but it didn't look like Barrymore—or her audience—cared.

The account for the show You kicked off the comment section with a chilling reference to the show itself.

Many people were happy to see Barrymore can fangirl with the best of them.

Others commented on Badgley's reaction to Barrymore's excitement over being in a facsimile of the glass cage his character JoJokeeps his victims in.

You're not supposed to want to be a serial killer's victim, after all.

He's fighting an uphill battle, but Badgley does try to convince people the character is evil, even if he, Badgley, is very attractive.

The heart wants what it wants, especially if you're a Pisces.

There were a lot of specifically Pisces comments.

Moving away from the personal judgement of getting a thrill out of pretending to be a serial killer's victim, some people just commented on how much they just like Barrymore's show, attitude and clothing choices in the video.

May we all get to live our most self-indulgent dreams, but perhaps leave the lock off the glass cage in real life.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
