Quantcast

There’s just something about seeing a strong, charming man being gentle and taking care of a small, delicate object. Petting a puppy, picking flowers, or in the case of Creed III star, Jonathan Majors, carrying around a tiny, ceramic cup — it just warms this tender heart of mine.


Lately, Majors has been capturing all of our hearts with his flirty interview segments and dreamy magazine covers, and if you’ve had a chance to check out any red carpet, movie premiere, or candid paparazzi shots, in hand, you will find a dainty little cup accompanying him.

Majors' collection of ceramic cups seems to be the one thing he just can’t leave home without. And if I’m being honest, I’ve never wanted to be a cup so bad. The Yale School of Drama-trained actor has been spotted with the tiny companion in public for a few years now, keeping these portable vessels on hand for any occasion.

From speckled mugs to handleless copper tumblers, Majors has us asking, what’s up with the cups?

“It just became a thing for me to always have my own vessel,” Majors shares during a video for GQ, “to kind of move through the world with.” And boy, has he been moving. From starring in the upcoming blockbuster, Creed III, to stepping into his supervillain era as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the Lovecraft Country actor has been working non-stop, which explains why keeping his trusty cups alongside for his biggest career moments could serve as a way to keep him grounded.

During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, he clarifies what he’s really been filling his cups up with. “Well, cups are built to hold things. So my cup holds water—it’s never alcohol,” he explains. “People should know that. I think it’s important to stay hydrated.”

He further explains how a piece of advice from his mother inspired his signature staple item. “My mom told me, just coming up, ‘Yo, never let anybody fill your cup. No one can fill your cup for you.’ And it just became a thing.”

So while we all can’t have the pleasure of being the lady… I mean… cup that Majors holds close, we can take a page out of his book to stay hydrated and remain mindful of what we fill our own cups up with.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
