I know I've said in the past that Bill Murray tops my list of celebrities I want to meet, but quickly climbing that list is Tom Hanks.  A fan ran into him at a pizza place and Hanks obliged him with a series of hilarious photos.  Don't you think it'd be a blast to just hang out and shoot the sh*t with Hanks?  I bet he's got some great stories.  (Uproxx)

The Smashing Pumpkins just announced they'll be touring this fall.  Did I accidentally wake up in 1997?  Oh, wait, it's not the whole original lineup, just Billy Corgan.  Pass.  (AV Club)

Someone famous has gotten attention for saying women aren't funny? Must be Tuesday. Wait, its Thursday? Then let's look at a whole bunch of other stuff too (and see a man in his 70s smack down Adam Carolla)

Let's start with something pro-double X chromosome: an article by a guy who listened to all female rappers for a month. Warning, prepare to realize you need to go buy a bunch of albums (Cannonball)

Well, that was fun. Now let's get to Adam Carolla, who says that women aren't funny and Tom Cruise acts like a spaceman. Oh man, based on the ignorance of the first statement can I no longer make fun of Tom Cruise? (NY POST)

If you want to hear some awesome burns about yourself, tell all female comedians that they're not funny (Jezebel)

Another Tony Awards has come and gone. We could discuss the award winners and how a small musical like Once beat a major player like Newsies and what impact that might have on future shows, but let's just look at the pretty dresses, shall we? (Vulture)

You know who looked super cute at the Tonys?  Emma Stone.  Here, she reveals her inspiration for her role as Gwen Stacy in the upcoming Spider-Man revamp, but holy crap, spoilers for anyone who never read the comics! (Crushable)

None Of These Speak Of Presidents. Or Pickles.

Have you ever read the hilarity of David Thorne? I especially like the pranks he pulls on co-worker Simon. I laughed so I hard I cried. This post about a permission slip from the school to allow his child to see a religious program is pretty amazing as well. (27b/6)

Do you like animation and accents? How about video games? Actually, you don't need to like video games to enjoy this review of Batman: Arkham City. NSFW. (The Escapist)

I enjoy first date stories, especially when they sound horrific but the couple ends up together. These stories will make you giggle and possibly say, "AW!". (Persephone Magazine)

So, they've made another Spider-man movie.  I...don't know how I feel about this, and it's probably because I can't bring myself to care.  (Pajiba)

Well, just like everything else in this great country of ours, Chrysler's Super Bowl "Halftime in America" ad has become political fodder.  What's your take on it?  (MSNBC)

We've all overheard someone stating a fact that we know to be completely untrue.  Here are a few doozies.  (Reddit)

Online dating is now the second-most popular way for couples to meet.  The first is still drunk sex followed by an awkward breakfast "date."  What you you mean?  That totally counts as a relationship!  (The Huffington Post)
