Foster, Jodie — Academy Award-winner and former Paul Reiser fake love interest Helen Hunt tweeted that a Hollywood Starbucks barista confused her with actor/director Jodie Foster this week.

Green, Draymond — The NBA earlier this week decided not to suspend Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green after he kicked Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams in the groin during game three of the Western conference finals on Sunday.

Hammer, MC — 1990s hip hop icon MC Hammer told a Huffington Post reporter during a recent interview that he prefers not to use actual hammers, explaining “You can hit your fingers, so I try my best not to have to hammer too many things.” This would explain the original title of his multi-platinum 1990 album Please Hammer Don’t Hurt Me.
