Uncharted and spent some time hanging out together.This included Wahlberg, 50, giving Holland, 25, a gift and driving him back to his hotel one day. Both men appeared on Access Hollywood and Holland shocked Wahlberg by revealing he’d been a little confused by the present at first.“Essentially Mark Wahlberg was kind enough to give me a massage gun after I left his house in LA and he drove me back to my hotel,” Tom said.“I was confused as to what kind of massage gun this was having never seen one before … and I thought it was the type of self-pleasure.”“I thought Mark Wahlberg was driving me back to my house for other reasons than just being a gentleman.

“So, what’s it like growing up as a lesbian in Italy?” That’s quite the common question I get asked whenever I meet some new friend from another country.

The Beijing Olympics 2022 are giving us such "how out of shape are we?" vibes while also being incredibly exciting. There we were at 4am watching the skiathlon, which has to be the most grueling thing we've ever witnessed. American Jesse Diggins came in sixth, which sounds like she was way behind, but there was a crush of five women together and all of them grew up in the Alps or Scandinavia except her, so it was a question of seconds of difference between medaling and not.Diggins collapsed on the ground, chest heaving, mouth open, gasping like a fish out of water. Then she turned on her side and began vomiting. It was pretty scary to witness, but the commentators were bizarrely blasé about it. She was okay, but it certainly made it abundantly clear the level of exertion. The event is 7.5 kilometers, so about five miles. It's literally up one hill and down another with some small amount of straightaway in-between. Not sure how anyone decides on this hellish workout when they could be inside with a little push broom doing curling, which is fabulous and which we find mesmerizing, but some people are gluttons for punishment.

KMGH-TV.To begin with, Shaw said, the back-and-forth was limited to some friendly banter about the game itself, which saw the Bruins fall to Colorado 4-3."At first, it was more of a hockey banter type of thing from them, 'Oh you lost,' 'What do you think about that hit,' that type of thing," Shaw told KMGH-TV.
