!! OMG, someone paid $3.75 million for the lightsaber Luke was holding when he found out about his dad !!

Nerds with money remain undefeated!

Somewhere out there, a very rich person is holding the actual lightsaber Mark Hamill swung at Darth Vader right before becoming a chopped unc and losing his hand (while gaining a daddy).

Heritage Auctions confirmed that Luke Skywalker’s screen-used saber from The Empire Strikes Back sold for a jaw-dropping $3.75 million, nearly double the high estimate and a new world record for a Star Wars prop. The previous champion was an X-wing model that went for $3.1 million back in 2023.
Wizard of Oz hats, Back to the Future II hoverboards, and a Big Lebowski rug that would really tie your room together.

!! OMG, WATCH: Comedian John Early smells like Maddie’s Secret-branded ‘Eau de Parfum’ in new ad !!

John Early refuses to let Maddie go, and frankly, neither do we.

The comedian has teamed up with perfumer Marissa Zappas for an actual, purchasable fragrance inspired by his directorial debut Maddie’s Secret, and blessed us with a prestige-perfume ad that screams the 90s to match.

!! OMG, The Champagne Room: Blake Mawson on horror, hustle, and calling mom for his big 3 !!

The Champagne Room has been pulling an enviable guest list lately: queer punk cinema icon Bruce LaBruce, actor Jay Baruchel with his wife, designer Rebecca-Jo Dunham Baruchel, and award-winning author Téa Mutonji have all taken a seat, with DJ baddie Miss Bashful among the names still to come!

This week the chair goes to Canadian filmmaker Blake Mawson, who came ready to talk horror, queerness, and the pole and wig he worked long before any festival came calling.

What do strippers and independent filmmaking have in common? Both come down to protecting your autonomy and a healthy distaste for censorship. Oh, and he calls his mom mid-taping to get his birth time so the hosts can pull his big 3! 🤩 Check out the latest episode of The Champagne Room above!

!! OMG, WATCH: John Waters returns to Mortville from ‘DESPERATE LIVING’ !!

For the uninitiated, Mortville is the gloriously grimy shantytown at the center of 1977’s Desperate Living, the Pope of Trash’s fairytale for perverts, ruled by the tyrannical Queen Carlotta, populated by wrestlers, murderesses, and a woman who eventually gets what’s coming to her in the most anatomically memorable way possible.

It remains the only Waters film without Divine, and somehow it out-filths the competition anyway. Iconic real estate. So the idea of him strolling back into that trash-heap kingdom, at 80, has us feral. Check it out above!

!! OMG, don't miss these !!
