#SHOWBIZ: Lee Byung-hun's son asked why he was 'so mean' in 'Squid Game'
SEOUL: Actor Lee Byung-hun cuts an intimidating figure in Squid Game, from his reveal as the villainous Front Man in season one, to his undercover work as a contestant in season two. He recently said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that while he has impressed audiences worldwide, his 10-year-old son Joon-hoo was less than pleased with the role. Byung-hun told Fallon: "My son heard about the show from his friends in school, and one day, he was so sad and asked me, 'Why are you so mean?'" When Byung-hun asked what he meant, Joon-hoo said: "You killed a lot of people." He added that his son was also close to actor-singer T.O.P., who played Thanos in Squid Game season two, and asked his father why he hit the latter "so bad". Byung-hun, 55, said that he had to explain that he was only acting, which his son does not fully understand yet. When Joon-hoo was only three, Byung-hun had shown him a clip from one of the G.I. Joe movies where he played Storm Shadow, and was asked where his weapon was and why he wouldn't bring it back from the US. "I said, 'If I see some strong enemy, I'm gonna bring it back," Byung-hun recalled. Season two of Squid Game ended in a cliffhanger where Front Man kills one of the protagonist Seong Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) best friends. Byung-hun teased that the climax of the show would be in season three.

Shaquille O'Neal drops a bomb on Jimmy Fallon: A recent viral moment was indeed about No. 2
One may be the loneliest number, but No. 2 is what sent Shaquille O'Neal urgently mincing off the 'Inside the NBA' stage last month while the cameras kept running. O'Neal copped to the truth Thursday night during his 18th appearance on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,' giving what might be more detail than anyone needed about that sudden departure in April. First, he clung to the fib, saying, 'I was drinking a lot of water that day. So I know I had the No. 2 run, but it was really a No. 1. So let's just get that out of the way.' He explained he was drinking olive oil at the time 'to be sexy,' because he'd seen on Instagram that if he drank olive oil daily for 14 days, he would clean out his system and have a flat stomach. 'So I was trying that.' A laughing Fallon held his face in his hands. 'You know what,' O'Neal said. 'I just made a mistake. I lied to you on national TV. It wasn't a No. 1 run. It was a No. 2 run. I had to go bad. Oh, I had to go so bad.' Fallon begged him to keep telling the lie. O'Neal asked whether the host had seen him squeezing his butt cheeks as he scooted away from the 'Inside the NBA' desk. Then Fallon showed a photo of what the crew did to O'Neal the next day: It put a blue porta-potty in studio on his side of the table. Blessedly, the conversation then moved in a different direction. Things were a bit more serious but no less amusing back in April when O'Neal got up while a co-host was in the middle of talking and — in a big hurry — walked awkwardly in front of his fellow panelists and out the stage door. Ernie Johnson Jr., Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley weren't sure what was going on. 'You all right, big fella?' Barkley asked with a look of concern on his face. As the camera (cruelly) followed him, O'Neal blurted to his co-hosts to 'go ahead, keep talking' while one reminded him, 'Hey, we're on TV.' 'It's that olive oil you've been drinking,' Barkley said. 'Hey, take some matches with you.' As the remaining hosts broke into giggles, Kenny Smith said, 'After 40, you can't hold it no more.' 'That wasn't something planned, was it?' Ernie Johnson Jr. wondered. Smith also noted that O'Neal had been drinking olive oil to clean out his system, saying, 'Oh, he's cleaning out his gut all right!' 'I did not like his gait as he left!' Johnson said. And Barkley simply couldn't move past the idea of the smell. 'Please turn his mic off, that's all,' Smith quipped. Then, as Smith tried to return to talking about L.A. Clippers forward Kawhai Leonard, the team in TNT's Studio J came through with the instant replay of Shaq bailing out. Instant. Freaking. Replay. IN SLO-MO. The three very professional analysts immediately began very professional analysis of O'Neal's shambolic gait. The big man returned fairly soon after that, mumbling something about drinking too much water and about Barkley talking way too long when he really needed to cut to a break. 'Sorry about that, America,' he said. Seriously Shaq, you have absolutely no reason to apologize. As long as you remember the matches.

Shakira reflects on the timelessness of her smash hit 'Hips Don't Lie' 20 years later. The song is a must-play on 'every single tour.'
Twenty years after releasing her smash hit 'Hips Don't Lie,' the song is still a mainstay on Shakira's set lists. The Colombian singer kicks off the U.S. leg of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour on Tuesday night in Charlotte, N.C., where she intends on performing the Grammy-nominated track for a stadium of adoring fans — who will likely know every word by heart. 'That's a song that is timeless and performed for every single tour and every single performance,' Shakira told USA Today. 'It was one of the first songs that had a reggaeton sound back in the day when it was a niche thing to do. I remember having discovered this groove from Puerto Rico and I started playing with it and decided to build a track on that (rhythmic) pattern. I never knew that years later it would have such an impact.' 'Hips Don't Lie,' which features Haitian singer and rapper Wyclef Jean, was released in February 2006. The song, however, wasn't originally supposed to be on Shakira's 2006 album, Oral Fixation, Vol. 2. 'The albums were distributed, and this song came about,' Shakira recalled while on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last week. 'I started working with Wyclef, and I knew I had a hit. So I called Donnie Ienner, who was in charge at the time of the company [Sony Music], and I said, 'Donnie, you have to pick up the albums from the stores.' And he's like, 'No way. This album's already out there.' I'm like, 'You've gotta believe me. You've gotta trust me.'' The song was played 9,637 times in a single week, making Shakira the first artist in Billboard charts history to hit No. 1 on both the Top 40 Mainstream and Latin Charts. To this day, 'Hips Don't Lie' remains the singer's only No. 1 hit in the United States. It also became the fastest-selling digitally downloaded song in the U.S. and is considered one of the greatest songs by 21-century women by NPR. 'It changed my story,' the 48-year-old singer told Fallon. 'Hips Don't Lie' has been credited with fusing reggaeton beats and Latin rhythms as well as pop and hip-hop elements in a single, infectious track. Originally called 'Lips Don't Lie,' the song was initially written and recorded by Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras when the Fugees reunited in the studio. The song, however, was never completed, because Hill did not like it. Jean then enlisted Shakira as both a cowriter and coproducer on the track. The decision to tap the Colombian superstar proved to be the right one — Shakira's influence resulted in the infusion of a reggaeton beat and the now-iconic salsa trumpet sampled from the 1992 song 'Amores Como el Nusetro,' by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Jerry Rivera. Shakira and Jean reunited on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on May 6 for a special performance of the song, in honor of its 20th anniversary. Jean will join the 'She Wolf' singer onstage tonight in Charlotte, where they'll perform the nostalgic track together once again. The singer told USA Today that performing with Jean in Charlotte 'will be a one-of-a-kind moment to share the stage with him after so many years.' While chatting with Ellen DeGeneres in 2005, Shakira revealed that her hips help her determine whether or not a song she's working on encourages her to move her body and dance. 'I grew up influenced by all of these cultural aspects that sort of define my artistic personality, and the way I interpret music and the way I feel music,' she told DeGeneres. 'I always say, 'My hips don't lie.' When I have all these debates with my musicians about how a song should feel or groove … and it's not going quite well, I say, 'Hmm … my hips don't lie. That's not working.' They tell you the truth.'
