Beckinsale explained that she initially thought her daughter’s boyfriend was just looking for attention until she noticed that, similarly to an egg, whatever had passed through his body had a “shell” and a “yolk” when opened.

“Hold on a second,” host Jimmy Kimmel said. “An egg came out of his body?”

According to Beckinsale, yes. “Not out of his mouth or ears, it came out the route that it would come out of a hen,” Beckinsale replied. “Well, not his vagina. He went to the bathroom and was very surprised to find that he had laid an egg.”

So either she is attention whoring, or her son in law is, or mental illness is involved there

Probably a little of all of it

... So his cloaca? These transitions are really getting out of hand.

I just wanna know if she ate it.

wow, she's unrecognizable. Why do people feel the need to do that to themselves?

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's not wildly different. Different hair, plumped lips, heavier eye makeup, a decade of age.

[–] Noja@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

Stung by bee lower lip

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 49 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

That's what she looks like these days? My gods. Just be cool with aging, FFS.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 15 hours ago

If only it were so simple, particularly in a profession that is historically ageist. It's a fuckin shame what she did to her face, but there was no small amount of pressure from a number of angles that caused her to do that.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 30 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This. I do not understand the aversion to aging. We are all human.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Your face probably isn't your moneymaker, then

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You think she is only worth her face? Perhaps I begin to understand.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

No, but the industry in which she works gives people, especially women, less work if they'll aren't at peak attractiveness. Less work means less money. I don't really know her acting beyond her Underworld movies, but it's less than compared to Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Emma Thompson, and Helen Mirren. Those ladies have lasted because of their fantastic acting, despite letting their age show.

I'm not saying I agree with the industry's choice. I actually think naturally aging women are really beautiful and hate the fake looks. I'm just saying if she wants to be competitive in her industry, she may feel she needs to do it. Also, she might like looking young. I try not to judge people for it, it's just not my preference.

Why do people feel the need to do that to themselves?

None of us are in her orbit, she does not interact with an average person.

All the women in her circles look like that, and we all (to varying extents) want to look like the people around us. You don't even realize it, but it's a thing.

Now, what makes high level cosmetic surgery so bad, is that it is insanely expensive and done by world class surgeons. So rich women started out doing things that made them conventionally more attractive in subtle ways.

Poor people want to be like wealthy people. So they got the same surgeries done at a lower quality.

But older wealthy people want to look like current younger people they see. And for Hollywood that means young women who couldn't afford good cosmetic surgery but felt they had to get it and didn't want for their faces to finish growing first.

What were flaws then become intentional, and since it's easier and still being done by the literal world's best, the result comes out almost identical regardless of the face that went in.

We've went thru that cycle a couple times. But there's no signs it's stopping, shits gonna be real weird in a nother couple decades.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

What fuck, it got to be mental illness. She was gorgeous, why did she fuck her face up? Does she seriously look in the mirror and thinks this makes her look young?

[–] scott@lem.free.as 14 points 16 hours ago

Yep. Smokin' to broken.

Sad times.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 6 points 16 hours ago

Everyone's getting blepharoplasties lately. Her lips are looking like Kylie Jenner's now, too (nerve damage leaving one side higher than the other)

[–] flamiera@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 15 hours ago

Yikes and I thought Lindsay Lohan looked worse. Has anyone seen what she turned into? It's out on display on that Freakier Friday cover.

To prove her claim, Beckinsale pulled out her phone and showed images of the alleged eggs to Kimmel and his sidekick, Guillermo. “I’m not showing you because it’s a little bit gross,” she advised the audience. “It’s quite medical.”

So, she has pictures of her daughter's boyfriend's asshole on her phone. Presumably stretched open by an egg.

Beckinsale said the family next reached out to a series of doctors, who passed the story along to their similarly confused colleagues.

“All of them basically said it was some sort of complicated masturbation thing, which it wasn’t,” she said.

Narrator: "It was."

“I said to him, ‘Is this some kind of attention-seeking? Are you putting eggs up your bottom?’” she said. “But I think it’s quite hard to put an egg up your bottom and then get it out whole without injuring the egg. I mean, I think that’s a skill.”

Yes, he's obviously had a lot of practice.

The article is strongly suggesting that Beckinsale is making the story up as her own attention-seeking behavior, but it sounds much more like the boy has more than one kink. Everything in the story points to this.

Lots of guys have the kink to shove random objects into their asshole, or so I've heard. But fewer of them have a kink to show off pictures of their asshole to their girlfriend's mother. That guy probably injured his dick whacking off from seeing that a famous guy like Kimmel saw the picture.

“But I think it’s quite hard to put an egg up your bottom and then get it out whole without injuring the egg."

Yes it's quite hard to accomplish that so the most likely scenario must be that a human is laying eggs. 🤦‍♂️

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

She probably loses her mind if you take her to watch a magician perform.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

from seeing that a famous guy like Kimmel saw the picture.

Dude was already dating the daughter of a movie star. Pretty-meh comedian/talk show host seems a step down from that.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Kimmel is super famous right now, though. The president keeps mentioning him and trying to get him fired. Kimmel even mentioned that based on Trump's messages, he must be watching the show while it's on air.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

PEDOnald isn't exactly a trendsetter.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 6 hours ago

He's begun speaking to Trump directly during his monologues.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Private school?

~~Reminder that her daughter's dad is Charlie Sheen, meaning that at the height of his crazy, Kate was shacking up with him~~

She always seemed intelligent, but I think it's just because she has an English accent

Like, she doesn't even know chickens have a combination but vagina, and we're supposed to take her word on this?

There's a non-zero chance her daughter and the boyfriend are fucking with her too. Even if I saw an egg come out of someone's but, I'm gonna take the logical explanation that he or someone else put it up there. Especially since it was apparently hard boiled.

[–] scott@lem.free.as 20 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

... combination but vagina ...

Cloaca.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You say Cloaca and it's one of those words everyone's heard but don't really understand...

Combination but vagina

Really gets the point across

[–] Deebster@infosec.pub 18 points 15 hours ago

It confused me, because they put "but" as in except, not "butt" as in bumhole.

Wonder hole.

[–] multi_flexi@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Michael Sheen, not related to American Sheens.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

American Sheens (as in the actors) aren’t really Sheens. So not surprising.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago

EMILIOOOooooo

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Weird...

Could have sworn she had tiger blood coursing through her veins

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 7 points 17 hours ago

Don't think anyone here was in danger of actually thinking his body produced and laid an egg.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 14 hours ago

What the fuck? There goes my enjoyment of Underworld, I guess. Now I'm always gonna see her zombie-looking face trying to persuade people that yeah, her son-in-law really shits eggs.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 16 hours ago

This probably fulfills some sort of dire ancient prophecy, but I'm not pulling that thread.
