Danny DeVito happy he's the 'King of short kings' – but doesn't know what it means
Danny DeVito just found out that people are hailing him the 'King of short Kings' and he's ecstatic – despite not knowing what it actually means. Devito is currently starring in the Roundabout Theater Company production I Need That, written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel. He plays a man named Sam, alongside his real-life daughter Lucy who plays Amelia. He recently sat down with GQ's Gabriella Paiella about the show and his impressive 45-year career. But, attention soon turned to the fact that social media users have given him a very unique recognition outside of his impressive resume. When DeVito was told about his short King status online, the 78-year-old responded: "I like it! I haven't heard the term, but it gives me joy. It lifts me up. Thank you." In 2019, the phrase became popular among social media users to positively describe an attractive man under 5’9”. It comes after an article last year recommended people reproduce with short men to help save the planet. “When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations," Mara Altman writes for The Times. "Lowering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet." Altman says shorter people are also more viable for successful lineage because they save resources. "As resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival," Altman wrote.

Paramore concert stopped because a couple wouldn't stop 'fighting'
Paramore were playing at Madison Square Garden when they were forced to stop the entire concert to deal with a couple fighting and pushing in the crowd. Singer Hayley Williams stepped in while performing on Tuesday (May 30) as the lights came up during the show. The pop rock group were performing the track ‘This Is Why’ when Williams observed a disturbance among the audience. The moment was captured by Tiktoker @madblackbimbo as two fans were seen pushing their way towards the stage. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Members of the crowd can be seen trying to push back at the pair, with people around them pointing to the band and alerting them to the situation. @madblackbimbo Kicked out of a paramore show in 4K?! Hayley Latisha Williams dont play like that; BFFR! ? #paramore #thisiswhy #paramoreconcert #msg #madisonsquaregarden #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #hayleywilliams #figure8 Then, the music stopped and Williams shouted at them: “Holy s***! F*** you!” The crowd parts and the couple can be seen, with Williams saying: “I will embarrass both of you.” The singer, 34, added: “Both of you need to find somewhere else to take care of that s*** because it’s not happening here.” Williams then explains that ‘This Is Why’ is a song the band love performing live, clearly frustrated that the show had to be stopped for the pair. We imagine that was a pretty awkward car journey home for both of them after that… The comments section was full of people showing support for Williams and the band, with the video poster writing: “He was not going for his gf. He was being aggressive the entire night & shoving and fighting with everyone and that was the final straw for us all lol.” “i was in the nosebleeds and i could not stop thinking [about] this thank you for posting,” another fan wrote.
