'Dancing With The Stars' Contestant Has Priceless Reaction After Jennifer Lawrence Reveals He Once Ignored Her
The comedian, who is competing on Dancing With the Stars this season, revealed to his dance partner Rylee Arnold that Lawrence is his biggest celebrity crush.
So when Lawrence finally reached out, Arnold was the one to break the news to him that he'd once had an interaction in real life with JLaw. He just didn't know it.
Wood was obviously devasted, especially when he learned the nature of the would-be meeting.
Lawrence left a comment on a video clip of Wood discussing his crush on Lawrence with Arnold, in which she revealed:
"I saw you on 8th avenue drinking a smoothie and you paid me no mind."
Must have been one heck of a smoothie!
Wood fell to the floor in the DWTS studio in despair, as any normal person would.
It all started with an interview with Arnold and Wood in which they were asked their celebrity crushes. Arnold said Justin Bieber, while Wood name-checked Lawrence. But it went further than that.

Wood said he wanted a "Paige DeSorbo moment" with Jennifer Lawrence.
DeSorbo is a star of Summer House who recently told Vanity Fair that she wanted one specific interaction with JLaw.
"...to one time publicly say, 'You know that Paige? She's kind of funny.'"
DeSorbo got her wish. Lawrence showed up in her Instagram comments soon after, writing to DeSorbo:
"Paige desorbo has sick style. And she's funny too!"
Wood joked that DeSorbo had "willed it into existence" and that he hoped to do the same.
"I just want just a little acknowledgment from Jennifer Lawrence that I'm funny, and then that's all I need."
"Like, no offense, Paige, I wanted that first, though."
Fans then started tagging Lawrence in the comments, and sure enough, she gave Wood the DeSorbo treatment... but with a very different tone!

Wood was of course agape and in shock reading the comment, and could muster little more than a "uh-uh, no way!"
Even Arnold reminding him that even if the interaction was fumbled, JLaw knows who he is was not enough to comfort him—he mimed choking himself out in dismay. Relatable!
On social media, fans found the whole thing hilarious—and quintessentially JLaw.
Ever the good friend, Arnold was quick to try to reassure Wood. Unsuccessfully, of course.
"Don't be upset, she's doing that to be funny. She's saying that to be funny. But she knew who you were when she saw you!"
She then appealed to Lawrence to "please give him a redo." No word from Lawrence as yet. Pay attention during smoothie time, Connor!

Trump Drops Epic 1,300-Word Truth Social Rant Against Bill Maher After White House Dinner—And Yikes
Trump's Sunday night missive broke the previous record for his longest unhinged Truth Social post at a whopping 1,322 words. What did the POTUS say in over a thousand words? Not much beyond bragging about himself and denigrating "COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER" Maher's existence.
In other words, the usual stuff.
You can see Trump's full rant here:
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
With the usual abuse of capitalization, Trump babbled about The Apprentice, how not "HOT" HBO is, and his popularity among people still willing to call themselves Republican in a series of aimless run-on sentences.
Trump just kept going...
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
...and going...
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
and going.
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
What set Trump off?
Maher had former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on his show and asked her about Trump's "lame duck" presidency—a common term for Presidents during their final term—and whether the current POTUS could handle a defeat for Republicans in the midterms.
Maher said:
"I worry that if this election goes as badly as it looks like it’s going to go for him and the Republicans, we’re going to have a guy who doesn’t have as much power as he did… and we know he likes vengeance."
Leavitt responded with the usual tap dancing around the truth that she did in her White House role between bouts of praising Trump's greatness.
People found Trump's post about Maher TLDR—a common internet acronym meaning "too long; didn't read," but someone assigned it a new meaning:
"Trump's Long Demented Rant"
@melrosebrainuhoh/Bluesky
@fightswithrhoombas/Bluesky
People surmised what a long message from a sitting POTUS must (should) be about.
@santinimore/Bluesky
More than a few questioned Trump's competence and mental state.

Those who actually did slog their way through had some feedback for Trump...

The midterms are set for Tuesday, November 3, with most states already engaged in early voting. At stake is control of Congress and the fate of the Trump administration.
Will the legislative branch once again function as intended, offering checks and balances on a rogue executive and sycophantic judicial branch? Or will it be two more years of Congress rubber-stamping Trump's appointees and his every whim?
Only voters can decide.
Dolly Parton's Sister Accuses Republicans Of Rigging Voting Machines In Tennessee After Alarming Incident
Taking to her Facebook page, Stella Parton recently voiced her concerns over irregularities she witnessed while voting early in Nashville, Tennessee. The country music capital uses electronic voting machines instead of paper ballots.
In a series of posts on Wednesday, October 21, Parton shared:
"In Tennessee last week at the Hermitage Library where I voted, I had to go back three times and correct my vote because it kept defaulting to Marsha Blackburn."
"I would never vote for her for anything."
"I’m putting this out here because when we vote, we take it seriously but we try not to hold up the long lines."
"Do it anyway. Don’t let them rig this election."
She later commented twice on her post, adding:
"And we have people asking why we’re so angry. I’m more frightened and frustrated than angry."
"This is so sad and heartbreaking but to think this is what it’s come to makes me angry for every good and innocent person in this country."
"To think people like Elon Musk and Russian bots may be upended another election makes my skin crawl."
"May they all die and worms eat them."

On Thursday, Parton added a post with more of her thoughts about what happened, writing:
"When you are an honest person like most of us are, we try to trust the process but I’m livid over this, not only for myself but for every other voter in this country. I’m so angry by all this devision in our country mainly caused by the Republican Party and their lack of accountability..."
"...This voting issue will turn out like everything else they stick their noses into, a freaking disaster. The news media will rattle on for weeks but nothing will be done. Pointing out the corruption and incompetence is a daily occurrence by me and countless others."
"We’re screaming into the void while Bot farms attack our posts constantly. All while they are playing God with our lives. Wake up America we are on the precipice of destruction."

Parton excoriated MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, tech investor Elon Musk, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in her post, citing the attacks on Ukraine and Iran and the genocide in Gaza.
As for the voting machines, Parton wasn't alone in reporting irregularities in Tennessee and other red states.

WSMV 4 News reported that Williamson County, Tennessee, voters reported ballot machines registered a different candidate than the one they selected, requiring multiple attempts to correct.
The Tennessee Secretary of State’s office directed voters to carefully check the review screen on the voting machine and the paper record it prints out before submitting their ballot. Any irregularities should be directed to poll officials before casting their ballot.
The complaints are coming after Trump led the MAGA crowd at the first-ever midterm Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, in a pledge to "cheat like Hell" to secure victory in the midterms.
Trump has been accusing others of cheating in every election when he didn't get the result he wanted for years. As they say, every accusation is a confession.
