A Dramatic Reading Of The “ChetHaze” GoneWild Reddit Comments
Chester Hanks aka Chet Haze aka Tom Hanks’ rapping teenage son allegedly had his Reddit identity revealed today, when he commented, “Love ya, bro,” during his other-unknown brother Truman’s “Ask Me Anything” session on the site. With his commenter name — simply “chethaze,” which has since been deleted — unveiled, so was his comment history, the majority of which were found in Reddit’s NSFW “GoneWild” section. While Chet has denied the account is his — and, again, it’s since been deleted — the best of his alleged comments have been preserved in this dramatic reading from HyperVocal’s Greg Seals. Watch it above … girl. [HyperVocal]
Chet Haze Embarrasses Tom Hanks, Again
What must it be like to be Tom Hanks, parent of rapper monstrosity Chet Haze? Is it just one constant embarrassment? Witness Haze — looking here like a freshly scrubbed JV swim team member off to his first homecoming dance — in his new video “Do It Better,” in which he gets into quite the tête-à-tête with a Kim Kardashian-alike.

How much vanilla extract would you really have to swill before getting even the tiniest buzz? Somebody try it and report back. [YouTube]
Tom Hanks Doesn’t Want To Play Any More “Pussies”
“I told my agents that I wasn’t going to play pussies anymore. I was tired of playing, ‘Oh, boo-hoo–I was in love, but oh, boo-hoo-hoo.’ There comes an age when you can’t do that anymore. I wanted to play men instead of boys. In your mid-30s, it’s time to start playing guys of compromise. And as you get older, men of bitter compromise.”
—Tom Hanks talks to W Magazine about moving on from roles like the ones he played in “Splash” and “Sleepless in Seattle” to more hard-hitting fare like “Philadelphia” and “Cast Away.” Point taken, but I’m just not sure how to feel about his use of the word ‘pussies.’ Who knew Hanks could get so crass? Oh, and apparently we’ll get to see Tom as a pussy once again in “Larry Crowne,” the new romantic comedy in which he co-stars with Julia Roberts. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
