Gen Xers, Mattel Creations has something for you! A limited-edition WWE Rock N Wrestling Connection 3-Pack with Cyndi Lauper, the late Captain Lou Albano, and the “Rowdy” Roddy Piper for you to play with.
Did you know that back in the mid-’80s, the singer was she bopping in the WWE world? She was. That is why Albano played her father in the Girls Just Want to Have Fun music video.
Teens would sit in front of their TVs and watch that song on MTV. But when it was over, they would have to take out the cassette tape to hear it again. But they could not recreate what they saw with dolls because Barbies were totally lame back then.
That was over 40 years ago. Now, those teens can play with her and the two WWE legends because they are getting their own totally rad Barbie set. How totally tubular is that?
There is a pre-teen who wishes he had dolls like that in 1983. And now, he can. And he can also play with himself. Who is this wrestler? The Rock. However, he might not want to because it is the scariest thing I have seen him as since The Tooth Fairy.
The special edition action figures will be available on July 23rd at San Diego Comic-Con and online.
When I think of The Rock, I imagine him smelling good. And he does. The actor says, “Fragrance has always been a huge part of that for me.”
So he worked with his company, Papatui, to create three signature scents to add to his #1 Men’s Skincare company. The process took two years, and they tested over 170 prototypes before settling on the three that they are releasing.
The long process to get it right was important to DJ because he explained, “We wanted to create scents that feel premium, transportive, and unforgettable. The right fragrance changes your energy the second you put it on. We obsessed over every detail to make sure they smell incredible, last, and will become part of how my guys show up every day.”
The three luxury colognes are:
P-01: Leather + Woods | Fougère: Champion confidence, bottled. Bright bergamot, cardamom, and crisp apple spark the opening, giving way to smooth lavandin, violet leaf, and grounded patchouli. It settles into warm tonka, vanilla, and glowing amber, leaving a clean, addictive trail. Modern, bold, masculine with a competitive edge.
P-07: Amber + Cypress | Amber Woody: A fragrance built with magnetic energy. An exploration of contrast. Sharp clarity meets smoldering depth in a scent that opens with electric bergamot and crisp, earthy precision. As it settles, the fragrance reveals its true weight. Patchouli and vetiver create a rugged backbone, balanced by modern smoothness. Refined, magnetic, utterly addictive.
P-21: Smoke + Bourbon | Gourmand Amber: Warm and effortless, with a mysterious intensity beneath the surface. This fragrance opens with ripe berry – sharp, vibrant, and unexpected – layered against the creamy smoothness of coconut. As it settles, vanilla absolute comes forward, deep and textured, while birch smoke adds a dark, smoldering edge. Radiant sensuality warms the skin. Effortlessly sophisticated. A scent with seductive depth that leaves a smooth, powerful trail that lingers.
With Fathers’ Day coming up, this is the perfect gift for any dad. And for $40 at your local Target, it is affordable and easy to find.
I feel like we have been hearing about the live-action version of Moana for ages. And today, we finally got a teaser of what it is going to look like when it comes out this summer.
Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.
Does it look like how you thought it would look? I can’t answer that question because, believe it or not, I have never seen it.
Back in the mid-1980s, kids all over the world wanted Teddy Ruxpin. He was a teddy bear that could play cassette tapes and read your stories, play music, or you could listen to your dead relative’s voice.
He was one of the cool toys that required A LOT of batteries. So when the ’80s ended, so did his popularity.
But there is one man who still loves his talking teddy bear, and he is a big teddy bear himself. Who is it? It is The Rock, and now he is giving his old bed buddy his own movie.
DJ’s Seven Bucks has teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios to make a live-action film based on Ruxpin. According to Variety, it was pitched as Sonic the Hedgehog meets Elf.
I hope that Dwayne Johnson talks to Wicked Cool Toys about getting the rights to making Teddy again. They were the last ones to do so and production of him ended in 2019. Just some advice before they start production, make him rechargeable because not everyone has Rock money!
The Rock’s career has come a long way since he did bad comedies and blockbuster action movies. So much so that he is getting Oscar buzz for his role in The Smashing Machine.
In honor of all the talk about the movie, A24 released a new trailer showing why everyone who has seen it is talking about his performance as legendary mixed martial arts & UFC fighter Mark Kerr.
