If your life has devolved into one awkward Zoom call after another during the pandemic, a recent prank Ryan Reynolds pulled on Hugh Jackman and a handful of other O.G. X-Men stars will really resonate.

This past Saturday, Global Citizen, which bills itself as the "world's largest" initiative dedicated to eradicating global poverty, held an online benefit concert. As part of the show, it put on a virtual celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original X-Men movie by pulling together stars Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Halle Barre, Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen. Quite a lineup!


All was going well, until Ryan Reynolds decided to reignite his "feud" with Jackman by crashing the whole thing. Suddenly, things got real awkward, and the chummy group of stars began dropping out one-by-one like flies.

For the uninitiated, Reynolds is part of the X-Men universe – he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Jackman back in 2009 as the character Deadpool, and went on to reprise the character in two of his own Marvel movies, with a third one announced for the future.

But those are not the movies that were holding a reunion, of course. So what was Reynolds doing there exactly? Along with stars of two other X-Men movies he brought along with him, Sophie Turner, James McAvoy and...Liev Schreiber? Well it seems Reynolds and Jackman have been embroiled in a years-long social media "feud" since they worked together back in 2009.

It all began with some playful on-set ribbing, but over the ensuing 11 years, it has escalated to Jackman and Reynolds hijacking each other's birthdays, anniversaries and other such milestones with some kind of jokey social media hijinks, any chance they get. Now, they can add online movie reunions to the list. Score one for Reynolds!

Online, fans of the two were delighted by this new chapter in Reynolds v. Jackman.











Reynolds may have won this round, but however Jackman decides to retaliate is sure to be epic!

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
