So Slate vomited one night, and then woke up feeling much better, so that means she just must be pregnant! Right? Nah.
Page Six was the first publication to speculate that Slate might be carrying a mini Captain America, but fans also chimed in with similar sentiments on her Twitter.
Slate's pregnancy rumors are pretty much as unfounded as the rumors that she is dating Chris Evans, which are based on no concrete facts except that the two are in a movie together and that they had some nice things to say about workingwith one another. Of course, anything could happen, but it probably is not wise to speculate that a woman is pregnant when she could have just eaten some bad sushi or something.
Comedian Amy Schumer has been dating Ben Hanisch, who Peoplereports to be a Chicago-based furniture designer, for six months, and the couple are already posting sappy photos of their Hawaiian getaways. Hanisch recently posted such an Instagram of Schumer, who stands in a sunset-lit door frame gazing out over the Pacific Ocean. The picture's caption, a hearts-for-eyes emoji, sums up Hanisch's feels about dark figures perching outside of places where he sleeps.
Another recent Hanisch Instagram shows that he is just as happy with Schumer illuminated by sunlight as he is with her eclipsed profile, which, if you are a person who has the time to ponder the indescribable sensations and dichotomous nature of an ever-evolving romance, is a beautiful metaphor for unconditional love.
On May 21, a cruise line called Eco Abrolhos shared a video of a tiger shark feeding frenzy in Australia, where a whale carcass provided a thrilling, horrific scene for tourists and a thrilling, delicious scene for sharks.
Steep Point, near the site of the shark-lunch, is the westernmost point of mainland Australia, situated just south of Dirk Hartog Island. All that information comes, fittingly, from Sharkbay.org. The website also has a "things to do" section, of which not even one is "get eaten by a hungry shark when you fall off your tiny boat!"
Hopefully, all those gawkers floating in red water had already feasted on the shrimp buffet on the main cruise ship—
Day 4 of 14 on the Geraldton to Broome island adventure cruise at Steep Point, Dirk Hartog Island watching 70 tiger...
—because that scene is going to make you vomit. Or make you wish you had your own version of a whale carcass to go crazy on with a group of your closest friends. Who's up for fish?
One of the men, 23-year-old David Fernández, told BuzzFeed News that he and his date, Gregor Eister, were simply looking for a place to grab drinks when they stumbled upon the protest.
“We stood in the corner of the square and watched. Then they stared yelling things at us like ‘f**got,’" he said, "So I turned to my friend and did what I thought would annoy them the most.”
A video shows that the guys were broken up by the police.
A good commencement speaker is key for a successful graduation ceremony. Otherwise, the audience tends to tap away at their phones as they listen to three hours of names getting mispronounced.
The following classes of graduates (mostly Harvard graduates, as you'll notice) got lucky with these captivating celebrity speakers, who delivered addresses that totally nail the feeling of realizing the fun's over and real life's about to begin. You'll feel inspired to start gunning for the dreams of your idealistic youth all over again, despite the mountains of college loans still preventing you from achieving them.
1. Conan O’Brien - Dartmouth College, 2011
Today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.
2. Maya Rudolph - Tulane University, 2015
If I could give my 21-year-old self any advice it would be to take as many bikini photos as you can now because your body's smokin' hot.
3. Elle DeGeneres - Tulane University, 2009
By the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like for example, when I was your age, I was dating men. So what I’m saying is when you’re older, most of you will be gay.
4. Ed Helms - University of Virginia, 2015
As you go out in the world, you'll find that people are always quick to define you, to pigeonhole you, to whittle you down to their preconceived notions-- which brings me to my point: Never let others define you. Define yourselves.
5. J.K. Rowling - Harvard University, 2008
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all-in which case, you fail by default.
6. Tom Hanks - Yale University, 2011
Please, do not turn off your electronic devices. Leave your iPhone, your iPad, your Sidekicks, your Droids, your Blackberries powered up, recording, photographing, texting out all that emerges from this stage over the next few minutes. Later on today you can compare your tweets and your Facebook comments with those of others to figure out if anything memorable went down. Hey, you know what, tweet that last sentence I just said. It will give you something to do and let your friends know where you are today. Take this speech and set it to music and maybe insert some crazy kooky graphics. Star in that video yourself and post on the web, and if it becomes a viral sensation you’ll be equal to any cat playing with a paper bag or any set of twin toddlers talking gibberish to each other, as popular as that cute girl that sings about Fridays.
7. Sandra Bullock - Warren Easton Charter High School, 2014
Go find your joy. It's what you're going to remember in the end. It's not the worry; it's not the what-ifs. It's the joy that stays with you.
8. Stephen Colbert - Northwestern University, 2011
Whatever your dream is right now, if you don't achieve it, you haven't failed, and you're not some loser. But just as importantly — and this is the part I may not get right and you may not listen to — if you do get your dream, you are not a winner. Life is an improvisation. You have no idea what's going to happen next and you are mostly just making things up as you go along. And like improv, you cannot win your life.
9. Jon Stewart - William and Mary College, 2004
Life is something you experience. So don't worry about your grade, or the results or success. Success is defined in myriad ways, and you will find it, and people will no longer be grading you, but it will come from your own internal sense of decency which I imagine, after going through the program here, is quite strong...
Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. And let the chips fall where they may.
10. Mindy Kaling - Harvard Law School, 2014
You are entering a profession where, no matter what the crime, you have to defend the alleged perpetrator. Across the campus, Harvard Business School graduates are receiving diplomas, and you will have to defend them.
11. Amy Poehler - Harvard University, 2011
Take your risks now, as you grow older you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally. I hurt my knee this week on the treadmill, and it wasn’t even on.
12. Andy Samberg - Harvard University, 2012
You are graduating from college. That means that this is the first day of the last day of your life. No, that's wrong. This is the last day of the first day of school. Nope, that's worse. This is a day.
13. David Foster Wallace - Kenyon College, 2005
The freedom to be lords of our own tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying. The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. That is real freedom. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default-setting, the "rat race"-the constant gnawing sense of having had and lost some infinite thing.
14. Aaron Sorkin - Syracuse University, 2012
Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character. You're too good for schadenfreude, you're too good for gossip and snark, you're too good for intolerance—and since you're walking into the middle of a presidential election, it's worth mentioning that you're too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy. Unless they went to Georgetown, in which case, they can go to hell.
15. Will Ferrell - Harvard University, 2003
As you set off into the world, don’t be afraid to question your leaders. But don’t ask too many questions at one time or that are too hard because your leaders get tired and/or cranky.
16. Neil DeGrasse Tyson - University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2015
I think on some level, role models are overrated. If you require a role model who looks just like you to be something you wanna be and you can’t find one, is that a reason to not be what you wanna be? No!
17. Steve Jobs - Stanford University, 2005
Remembering that you are going to die is the beset way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart...
...Stay foolish, stay hungry.

Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards ended with Madonna performing a tribute to Prince, despite the efforts of a Change.org petition to stop her. She sang "Nothing Compares 2 U" (which was written by Prince), wearing a purple suit and carrying a cane, and was later joined onstage by Stevie Wonder, who sang "Purple Rain" with her.
Reactions were mixed, to say the least. The biggest diss was probably from the BET network, who, after Madonna's performance, tweeted a promo for their Prince tribute on June 26, featuring a video with text reading, "Yeah, we saw that. Don't worry. We Got You." OUCH. Damn.
But BET were far from the only ones unimpressed with Madge's tribute. People on Twitter began to express their outrage the best way they know how—in meme form.
No answer to that one, but Madonna and Prince were friends (and rumored to have dated in 1985, but who knows), and they collaborated on "Love Song," which was featured on Madonna's fourth album, Like A Prayer.
If you have a competitive passion for tossing and catching several things through the air in continuous motion, you're in luck: there's a community out there where you'll finally fit in, unlike with your father.
The Nederland Jongleer Fest (NJF), or the Dutch Juggling Convention, recently held its 2016 competition, which included a sport called 'combat juggling.' This fascinating acro-battle is bound to make your dad even more perplexed by your interest in juggling. The rules are to keep your three clubs in the air while simultaneously trying to knock your opponents' clubs to the ground. The showdown between these top-ranked combat jugglers, Luke Barrage and Rob van Heijst, proves that this sport is the real deal, and tough as hell, Dad. Watch below.
Redditor u/Robbebeest explained the origins of the NJF Fight Night, which started because of a French juggler with a "desire for combat." It is wonderfully European-sounding.
In the winter of 2003 we had a French juggler visit the juggling club in Rostock for a while. His desire for combat made us play even more than normal. Even though he was much better than us, he still love to play and toy with us. When he left his desire stayed and combat became the warm up at the start of the evening started earlier and would go late into the night because of combat.
And so the combat spread, leading to the creation of an organization where jugglers could improve each other's tossing-catching-tossing-catching abilities and help you earn your father's respect in spite of the fact that he'll never understand why you are the way you are.
5. Dr. Luke, because he couldn't keep Kesha from slaying at the BBMAs.
Last night's Billboard Music Awards were more than just another unnecessary awards show and excuse for a red carpet—it was also the latest battlefield in the ongoing war between singer Kesha and her former producer/mentor/alleged abuser Dr. Luke.
Judges have repeatedly refused to allow Kesha out of her contract with the Sony-based producer, despite the fact that her lawyer compared it to "slavery." That comparison seemed to bear fruit in mid-May, when news broke that Kesha's planned performance at the BBMAs had been nixed by Sony when they heard that she planned to address the controversy onstage.
Luckily, Kesha made it clear that she only wanted to use her performance as a tribute to Bob Dylan. Sony relented, and on Sunday night, Kesha performed a spectacular version of Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" with Ben Folds. She made no mention of her alleged rapist Dr. Luke during the show.
But Sony's acquiescence backfired on Dr. Luke. Kesha's performance reminded millions of viewers what a talented singer she is, and also reminded them of the controversy. And if there's one thing this story has proven, it's that Dr. Luke doesn't gain sympathy from any publicity about himself or Kesha. There's not one fact about it that makes him look any less like an a**hole.
4. Taylor Swift, because she and her squad are being threatened by a goofy cyberstalker.
TMZ reports than an Internet troll has been menacing Taylor Swift and her squad with threatening tweets. He sent T. Swift a terrifying, yet vague, message that read: "I will kill some of you." He drummed up more enthusiasm for his tweet to Gigi Hadid: "people gon die they're gon die die die die!" To Cara Delevingne, he wrote: "I will kill your friends and I am excited about it." These threats are strangely bubbly—they almost sound like lyrics to one of Swift's songs, if she were a psychopath.
The nutcase also tweeted at Chrissy Teigen, telling her "gonna give it one shot, but I probably gonna end up murdering your friends." That moron! Doesn't he know that Teigen isn't in the squad? This dope needs to read more TMZ!
Police currently have a warrant to search Twitter's records so they can find this guy and put him in the looney bin, far from any social media-enabled devices. But in the meantime, he'll keep spreading his bad blood.
3. The Kardashians, because a plastic surgeon is using their name to sell facelifts.
The Kardashian name being used to sell shady beauty products? We never thought we'd see the day. JK, that's happened countless times. The difference is that this time, they're not being paid. And if there's one thing every Kardashian hates, it's not being paid.
TMZ reports that an Australian plastic surgeon named Dr. Gary Eldridge has filed for a US trademark on a facelift technique of his own design. He describes it as a "minimally invasive face/neck lift done under local anesthesia." His name? The "Kardashian Facelift."
If you're wondering how he can legally get away with that, good question. He certainly didn't get permission from a Kardashian, or even a Jenner. Instead, he claims the procedure is named after his daughter's dog, Kardashian. So does the operation make you look like a celebrity, or a Golden Retriever? Let's hope that's cleared up before anyone spends the $1,870 to have it done.
On the bright side, this Ozzie doc's scam might make the Kardashians rethink their relentless branding. And at least his daughter got a dog out of it.
2. A guy who tried to pay a stripper with counterfeit money and got busted.
Why does every sleazy guy try to pull sh*t in a strip club? It's the worst possible place for shenanigans—not only is it full of bouncers, it's also full of strippers. Here's the secret: the bouncers are actually just there to protect you from the strippers, who are more than happy to f*ck you up if you try to cross them. But despite this fact, losers are always trying to get away with something up in the club.
Take 32-year-old Stephen Gidcumb of Mount Morris, Michigan. On May 13, he decided to take in the sights at the Deja Vu club in Kochville Township. He was rolling deep, and walked in with a stack of $100 bills. Some of them were real, but others he had printed from his home computer. He used the bills, real and fake alike, to get into the VIP section (Very Impertinent Perverts?) and get repeated lap dances from a certain stripper. That young woman realized she had been given funny money once Gidcumb had left the club.
Deja Vu management called the police, who arrested Gidcumb later that night—when he returned to the club. Some guys just never learn. Especially the ones who go to strip clubs twice in one night. The police found evidence of the 32-year-old's sad little counterfeiting operation when his parents allowed them to search their house, where he lives. Bet you could have guessed that one, right?
1. Spanish nudists who lost a lengthy legal battle to bare their beach bods.
The Spanish Federation of Naturism, an organization of tanned, leathery Spaniards devoted to the cause of being naked, has lost a seven-year legal battle with the government of the historic city of Cadiz for the right to go bare-assed on its beaches. The federation had argued that nudism is a basic human right under Spain's constitution, a plea which took the case all the way to the Supreme Court. But that distinguished body decided in a ruling on Friday that nudity is not yet "an accepted practice by the majority of beachgoers." Bummer.
Cadiz, a port city at the southern tip of Spain, was historically the destination for all Spanish goods from the new world. It's still a major tourist destination, so a win there would have been a big deal for the federation. But like most nude people, their insistence on "just the tip" was unsuccessful. Now they have to gingerly jiggle away in shame.
Of course, they can still be as nude as they want on any of the beaches outside the city, and on most of the other beaches around Spain. But for Cadiz, they'll always have a case of judicial blue balls.
Bella is an orphaned grizzly cub from Alaska who is now good friends with Casey Anderson, a naturalist with a GoPro. Anderson took some GoPro footage of himself playing with Bella that, if you're deluded enough, will let you pretend you're tickling the soft little paws of a baby bear.
The cuteness of baby bears was no secret but oh wow, that Bella is one cuddly beast.
Let's discuss those baby paws.
Bella has some really great paw pads that are just asking for a human to tickle. Her paw pads are like dog paw pads or cat jellybean toes but there's so much more paddage. What's not to love?!?
Then there's Bella's snout, which rivals her paws in attractiveness.
Sure, one day that snout will help her track the scent of human blood or whatever grizzly bears do with their snouts when they grow up. But right now Bella's snout and her happy little mouth are content providing humans with entertainment.
And it looks like it will stay that way, unless something goes awry, as Bella currently resides at Anderson's Montana Grizzly Encounter sanctuary and has no plans to re-enter the wild. Bella is ours forever!
These days, Jason Statham is known for being an action movie star with no hair and a thick English accent you could listen to for days. But 48-year-old Statham did not come out of the womb threatening to kick ass while dressed in a nice suit.
Well maybe he did, since there's no footage of his birth online. There is, however, footage of a young Statham participating in a competitive diving event.
Statham took part in the 1990 Commonwealth Games, where he didn't do so great, according to the commenters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xt1mC74eJE
While Statham's diving may not have excelled that day, his face certainly did.
Here's a bonus throwback Jason Statham video to make your day even better.
What.
This oiled-down side of Jason Statham does not get enough airtime these days.
According to Monday's Page Six column, Jay Z and Beyoncé have made a "surprise" album that will be released (on Jay Z's music streaming service Tidal, natch) "very soon." A source told Page Six, "Jay and Beyoncé were never going to do an interview to address all the questions that came up after Lemonade. It’s more their style to respond through music."
These mysterious sources have been claiming for years that hip hop's power couple is making an album together, but according to Page Six's sources, it's "finally ready." Queen Bey is currently in the middle of her World Formation Tour, but that doesn't necessarily mean she and her husband won't drop a new album soon, since much like god, she works in mysterious ways. And she works A LOT.
Of course, Page Six is generally just gossip and rumors; reps for Beyoncé and Jay Z still haven't responded to requests for confirmation from Page Six or from Vanity Fair. But on May 4, Us Weekly reported that Jay Z was working on an album to tell "his side of things," and then on May 5, they claimed that Jay and Bey had already completed a joint album before Lemonade was released. So it sounds like something is up.
For the uninitiated, the Lemonade"questions" that the "surprise" album will supposedly address mostly involve: A) Is "Becky with the good hair" a real person? B) If so, who is she? C) Did Jay Z actually cheat on Beyoncé? and D) If he did, why hasn't she cut his dick off yet?

Competitive eater Matt Stonie eats vomit-inducing amounts of food at vomit-inducing speeds, and is still in better shape than you. On May 20, the 23-year-old garbage disposal professional competitive eater uploaded a video of his most recent eating challenge, in which he devoured two "giant sized" boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a gallon of milk in under twenty minutes.
By the end of the stunt, Stonie had consumed 47.2 ounces of cereal and 7,700 calories, but remarkably, he was not running to the bathroom or writhing on the floor afterwards. When Stonie is not busy being a competitive eater, he probably is a competitive pooper (not confirmed).
Justin Bieber is feeling a lot of feelings these days. While the Internet has seen him expose himself on the beaches of Bora Bora, Bieber recently showed fans what he's packing on the inside.
Posted in the caption of a pic of some sort of Irish/Scottish(?) castle, The Biebs went on a rant about award shows. His plea for authenticity reads like that of an existentialist philosopher, or like his version of "The Catcher in the Rye," calling out all the phoniness of the world.
A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on
He writes:
I don't know about these award shows.. No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for you guys and your support. But I don't feel good when I'm there nor after. I try to think of it as a celebration but can't help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance.
Sounding like a true reality star, he wondered if people are at the shows "for the right reasons":
A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I'm doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy. Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don't want to knock them I'm just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself if I'm living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment.
Bieber wonders if the industry should be giving out different sorts of awards:
I'm getting awarded for the things that I'm doing and not for who I am which is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award someone's spirit lol. But When I do get these awards the temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!I am privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers in but in these settings I can't feel the recognition.
And here's the kicker:
There's an authenticity missing that I crave! And I wonder does anybody else.. Sorry not sorry about grammar it's not my strong point
There's something undeniably sweet about JB trying to seek out sincere experiences. But ironically, in today's media, you can never know if someone's plea for authenticity is authentic, or just a cynical ploy to seem like less of a douche.
Bieber does seem to be taking this seriously, following up his picture of a castle and sheep with another kinda-profound post:
If Bieber really wants to make a statement about award shows, though, he should consider giving back his Grammys (both American and Canadian), his Teen Choice Awards, his Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and his many MTV awards.
Despite having already achieved worldwide fame based on the uterus that she came out of, Blue Ivy Carter still does normal kid things, like take part in dance recitals.
The 4-year-old was recorded dancing along to Hairspay's "Can't Stop the Beat," according to Cosmopolitan, and the footage is pretty cute. It's also creepy to think that someone's child was recognized, filmed, and uploaded so the Internet could freak out. But just roll with it.
Oh, did you forget that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were dating? Don't worry, they haven't forgotten! The Voice co-stars continue to be very publicly all over each other. Not only did they perform a duet of their new song "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" at the Billboard Music Awards last night, they posted some pictures to Instagram showing them getting cuddly backstage. All of life is a duet to these lovebirds.
