Patrick Stewart pizza slice

You and Sir Patrick Stewart now have another thing in common if you've ever eaten a slice of pizza. Yesterday, the man who played Captain Jean Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation admitted on Twitter that he was in the midst of enjoying his first ever pizza slice:

"But nevertheless, this was my first slice of pizza, which I was only eating because my fiancée and I were a little hung-over yesterday morning and she said what we need is pizza and a soothing drink — and she was right. It solved the problem. But, in fact, it was my first slice, and when it was brought over to me, my first comment was 'There's no knife and fork.' Of course, I was mocked for thinking that I could eat a pizza slice with a knife and fork."

Since he grew up in a small town in northern England, Stewart wasn't exposed to pizza much. Not much of an excuse, but Stewart does admit that he has eaten pizza in the past, but they were full pies eaten with knife and fork.

Kendall Jenner and Frances Bean Cobain

Frances Bean Cobain has accused Kendall Jenner of venting her problems in public for attention. The 20-year-old model - who is the daughter of Courtney Love and the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - doesn't think Kendall is a bad person but advised the 17-year-old 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star to try to deal with her issues privately instead of getting strangers to throw her a "pity party."

Frances reignited her feud with Kendall, which began earlier this week, on Friday night, writing, "Everyone's problems are relative and I in no way meant to demean your issues but publicly complaining about how hard your life is, is completely self serving. It's asking for attention. If you are feeling like #### talk to someone who you trust as opposed to fishing for sympathy from your followers. I don't know you nor do I think ur a bad person. I believe that venting about ones problems via the Internet is a blatant cry for attention. We all have experienced pain. I try to deal w/ pain in a manner that pertains to my real life not in a way where strangers throw me a pity party. To each their own though man. It's not my life, live it in whatever manner you want to. (SIC)"
