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.”

I don't know if it's funnier if its true or if it's false but, either way, I bet he's thrilled she told it

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I believe she believes it.

What in the macrodose is going on here?

This woman is so out of her mind she should not be on tv

That Pete Davison dick gave her dementia

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

No idea who this woman is, but maybe she should schedule an appointment with a shrink?

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

She is an actress that played Selene, a vampire, in the Underworld franchise. I know she's been in a lot of other movies, but I've only seen her in Underworld.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago

And they're SO bad.

I love them

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 100 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (11 children)

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

because she started her career young and pretty, displacing older actors, and now she's terrified of it happening to her.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 8 hours ago

We are so close to hunger games style of extravagant.
Everyone just has to look more than everyone else.

Going for the “MAGA face” fad! WOW!

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 66 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 1 day 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 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Your face probably isn't your moneymaker, then

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Nobody's making a dime in that face.

It's like someone tried to clean up a chemical spill with an ice pick and a vacuum.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a picture comparing faces with comments talking about faces. Faces on actors are an important aspect. Faces do the talking. This isn't your "gotcha" moment unless your goal is to debate in bad faith. Holding someone to your beauty standards is no different than someone adhering to someone else's beauty standards

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

You use a term like "beauty standard" as if this is a real thing that applies to everyone and not something manufactured by an attention-based industry.

If people believe she is only worth her face, then I guess she is. Except, I don't think everyone thinks like that, even if people (especially those trying to exploit her labor) have made her feel like they do.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not to be hypercritical of people's appearances but the lip procedures always make people look crazy and talk weird.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

The poorly executed ones do. You aren't going to notice when someone has them done well unless you knew what they looked before.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Stop the presses! She got some lip filler!

/s

--She's 52 years old and frankly, looks fantastic.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day 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 18 points 2 days ago

Yep. Smokin' to broken.

Sad times.

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 23 points 1 day ago

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

Maybe, one day, I'll get to show off some objects I have "laid" on TV.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day 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 8 points 1 day 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.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

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

kate beckinsale is a notorious shitposter. good one kate.

I just wanna know if she ate it.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

~~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.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

Wait, hard-boiled? I was initially impressed by the muscle control it takes to get an egg up there intact, but now I am less impressed.

[–] scott@lem.free.as 25 points 2 days ago (4 children)

... combination but vagina ...

Cloaca.
