Emma Watson's phone rang during an interview, but her awesome ringtone saved the day.

Even Emma Watson makes the mistake you made while in a 200-person lecture hall course in college—not turning off her phone. In this case, she got a noisy phone call while being interviewed for television, and she was only saved by picking the best possible song for a ringtone. It's not very Hermione-like.

The interviewer says the ringtone is the best he has ever heard, and that he only respects Watson more because of it. "I'm glad that I'm forgiven because of Tina Turner, otherwise that would have been terrible," Watson replies. So if you forget to put your phone on silent before going into, say, a job interview, try making this your ringtone first:

That is a pretty damn awesome ringtone.


Chrissy Teigen started a glorious war between blender companies on Twitter.

Model/mom/great lady Chrissy Teigen has sparked what might be the greatest kitchen-appliance-based social media battle of 2016: the war between blender companies Vitamix (basically the BMW of blenders) and NutriBullet (the blender company with a surprisingly violent name for a thing that makes smoothies). It all started when Teigen DM'ed a friend about a Vitamix:

This received a friendly response from Vitamix and relief from Teigen:

But the tweet also elicited a gauntlet throw from NutriBullet, which implied that it would never spy on its customers, because apparently that's a thing companies actually have to say now and we can't just assume:

An obviously delighted Teigen then tried to fan the flames of hatred between the companies:

They didn't bite, at first:

But then ANOTHER blender company jumped into the fray:

And NutriBullet went back on its previously lovey-dovey stance:

Teigen, meanwhile, pumped up the newest player on the scene:

But then got this reality check from her husband:

Does that mean that she stopped the blender war?

OF COURSE NOT. And Blendtec got serious. Like, talking-about-helping-babies-and-blenders-sending-people-to-the-emergency-room serious.

And then Teigen made sure everybody was aware when the NutriBullet tried to get in some extra product placement:

Then a fan brought up an important point:

And as with so many arguments in life, once Bey was mentioned, it was over.

But here's the question: when Teigen starts making homemade baby food, which blender will she use?

American tradition.

Teen lets driving instructor know he's seeing someone else. Driving instructor doesn't like being cheated on.

Breakups are tough for everyone, but especially for driving instructors. Matt Connell is a teen in the UK who was learning to drive (on the opposite side of the road). When he decided he needed to double up on driving lessons, his teacher felt betrayed.

Matt confessed to his sin of adultery while trying to book a lesson, and the instructor seemed blindsided by it.

"Driving Instructor Gr..." got harsh. He was really annoyed, and really jealous.

In the instructor's defense, Matt does seem like a good student, and he mentioned to Metro UK that he was taking lessons with the instructor for six months. Half a year together is not just something you can throw away.

A boy from the other side of the road.

Matt ended up not replying because he was content with the other woman, Cath. But the true value of the relationship will be revealed when he takes the test.

It's a good thing Nicki Minaj is a professional celebrity, because an amateur would not be able to get this close to revealing her boobs without actually doing so. It takes years of practice to be able to pull off a nearly nude selfie, like this Instagram Minaj posted Friday of herself in underwear, no top, and a silk dressing gown.

She captioned it only with a heart emoji, which seems to be directed at her nail polish color. Hey, sometimes when you've just had an awesome mani-pedi, the need to share the shade with your followers is too urgent to stop for 0.5 seconds and tighten your robe first.

Luckily, Minaj has had plenty of experience baring a whole lot without baring all:

Kate Hudson graced the cover of Shape's June issue, and on the last day of June, she posted a #TBT (Throwback Thursday) on Instagram showing off her shape, nude. It's backlit, so all that's visible is her silhouette, and the word "LOVE" atop a nearby tiny table (maybe so people don't forget to do it?). She captioned the shot "#tbt #PrettyHappy #LOVE #Almost Friday" because celebrities love hashtags.

That's a pretty natural looking shot. She's just casually gazing out a window, naked, with the light filtering through the gauzy drapes. Probably thinking about what a good idea it was to buy a statue of the word "love" to replace the one that said "meh." Really classes up the whole room, and looks great with her ass.

At the College World Series game between the TCU Horned Frogs and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in Omaha, Nebraska, an unlikely star emerged. No, not a baseball player, but this weird little kid who makes the most intense eye contact ever with the camera. Like, he stares directly into your soul.

It'll make you feel vulnerable.

He is the child version of Hypnotoad.

It is weird that this kid commits so hard to staring unblinkingly into the lens of a camera for such a long time, but it's just as weird that the cameraman never stops filming him. Isn't there a baseball game going on?

Imgur user theebeardog posted a pic of a Bernie Sanders lookalike in a FedEx store. This Bernie doppelgänger looks so much like the real thing that he wears a shirt saying, "I am not Bernie." That's probably very necessary, because from the back he really looks like Bernie. Here he is in the FedEx:

Earlier this month, NBC 4 Los Angeles reported about a Bernie supporter named Jeff Jones:

Other Redditors replied to the FedEx sighting with pictures of their own. HatFullOfGasoline posted another sighting from the back:

And edogman9955 said that Jeff Jones stopped by a Bernie campaign office:

Hopefully Jeff Jones is the man in all these sightings, because it could be quite a debacle for Bernie if he has more than one identical doppelgänger running around. Hillary/Bernie lookalike 2016?

If there is an opposite to the loveable house elf Dobby in theHarry Potterseries, it has to be that real jerk of a house elf, Kreacher. Kreacher worked as Sirius Black's house elf and pretty much hated anyone who wasn't a pure-blood wizard, making him a wizarding-racist. Now one fan is theorizing that maybe Kreacher's less-than-kind disposition was not his fault after all.

User kaptinkracker outlined their thoughts on the Fan Theories subreddit, under a post appropriately titled "Why Kreacher the elf is such a prick."

I think that [Kreacher] is a prick in general since his first appearance because he was in possession of the amulet horcrux for a long time which is revealed in The Deathly Hollows Part 1. It is shown that the horcrux makes Ron very jealous and angry when he later has possession of the horcrux for only a short time. Therefore, when Regulus Black gave Kreacher the horcrux to hold onto, it turned Kreacher bad. Regulus was a young adult when that happened and so it makes sense that Kreacher would be mean to Sirius, the younger brother since Kreacher had the amulet before Sirius could remember Kreacher. The horcrux amplified the negative emotions that Ron had and similarly it makes Kreacher hate mudbloods even more and disrespect Hermoine way more than he would have if he didn’t have the horcrux.

Being around the horcrux, in combination with how terribly Sirius treated him, would explain why Kreacher was such a curmudgeon. It also brings up an interesting argument that could be used elsewhere in the series. Maybe the Dursleys were so awful to Harry because Harry was technically a horcrux, and that negative energy effected them. Or maybe they were just terrible people. Or both? We need J.K. Rowling to chime in on this.

Khloe Kardashian says she lived with a dude when she was 16, so take that Kylie and Tyga.

Khloe Kardashian revealed on Thursday that when she was 16-years-old she lived with an older man in Laurel Canyon, L.A. But apparently it wasn't a romantic relationship—she was his assistant, she said on her app, according to Perez Hilton. So she lived with him and he paid her.

I worked as his assistant and lived in the home, but don't get it twisted—it was not intimate! He had a family and I just lived in one of the bedrooms. I was rebellious and having an annoying time at home. My parents didn't want me to leave, but I was a little brat.

The news set off a lot of comparisons between Khloe and her 18-year-old younger half-sister, Kylie Jenner, who just got back together with her 26-year-old boyfriend, Tyga. But it's really not the same thing at all—in that situation, it seems more likely that Kylie is paying Tyga, not the other way around. Kidding! She's not paying him, per se, he's just living in her swanky mansion for free while he sorts out his "money problems."

Kardashian also wrote that when she was 17, she lived with four men in Van Nuys, including rapper The Game. Again, completely platonic ("We were all friends. I've known [The Game] since I was 14 and we're friends."). Apparently she just really likes living with men. Maybe she's into dirty bathrooms and eating off paper plates. Nobody's judging.

Guy wants to know if he's overreacting to his girlfriend's affinity for her ex's underwear.

How would you feel if your significant other wore their ex's past on their crotch?

That's the problem WeirdShirt, a 25-year-old guy on Reddit, is having. He recently moved in with his girlfriend and discovered she sleeps in her ex boyfriend's grungy old boxers. His girlfriend claims she only wears them because they are really comfortable, which ironically makes him really uncomfortable.

Being so close to the issue, and also to an article of clothing that formerly clung to some other dude's nut sack, he ran to to Reddit to see if he was overreacting. Here's his side of the story:

I recently moved in with my girlfriend of one year, and I found out that her pajamas that she sleeps in every night at home consist of her ex-boyfriends underwear. It's a pair of well used and ripped boxers. I asked her about this and she says she has had them for 4 years, and they are very comfortable. I never noticed this before because she used to live with her parents and I would not stay at her place very often.

It seems harmless, but it makes me uncomfortable, and I am not sure what to do about it. I talked to her, and she says it's not a big deal, and that they are just a pair of comfortable shorts to her. I've thought about getting a new pair of the same brand, but that just feels like I am buying her a new pair of her ex's underwear. I've asked if she would be interested in getting a different pair of boxers altogether, there are so many different kinds, but she insists that it is a waste of money.

She does wear my boxers occasionally, but only about half the time, the other half it's this weird pair of her ex's boxers. I have tried to "phase out" that pair in favor of my own, but this has also been unsuccessful.

What the hell is going on here? I want her to get rid of that weird pair of her ex's boxers, but am I just overreacting? Or is this completely normal? I appreciate any suggestions for what to do! Thanks.

tl;dr: Girlfriend wears her ex-boyfriend's boxers to bed because they are comfortable. I think it's weird, how do I address this?

What makes this such an interesting conundrum is that this is dumb on both sides. On the one hand, dude, stop being such a baby. She's with you now—it's not like her ex's penis is still in those boxers.

On the other hand, girl, you trying to annoy your new bf? They're just boxers, why can't you throw them away?

I totally get wanting to keep the comfiness, but those have been all up in your old dude's grundle and are ripped and disgusting. Are you waiting for them to disintegrate from your body before you retire them? Clearly there is some sentimental value here beyond wanting to save money. Pajama shorts are cheap af and stealing your new bf's boxers is free.

It's easy to see both sides of this argument, which is why advice came in droves. Naturally, women came to the gf's defense. Commenter wearywoman had this extremely valid point:

I have boxers that belong to ex boyfriends. I don't wear them because of said ex boyfriends. I wear them because I stole them from said ex boyfriends fair and square and they are comfy! That is it. Nothing weird about it.

Hell yeah. It's all about you and your new boyfriend living your best life while your ex's nights are spent boxerless and alone.

Men, on the other hand, saw this as a warning sign that the girlfriend isn't over the ex. Here's Bagrant1's recommendation:

Just buy her boxers and ask her to stop wearing the ones she is now. If it gives you piece of mind it's not a waste of money. Boxers really aren't that expensive, and if she only sees them as something to wear to bed I don't understand why it would matter if she wore different ones instead.

Fair. The boxers aren't so much what's troubling as the resistance. What's a little underwear disposal to keep the new home happy? Let them go.

Then there's the issue of the double standard, as pointed out by ForgetMeThereafter. It's cool for women to wear boxers, but what if this guy wanted to wear his ex gf's panties? Now that would be sex fetish territory, and would mean a lot more than just trying to be comfortable while you do the dishes.

So, if you have a boyfriend who started wearing his ex's underwear, would you be all A-OK with that too if he told you "I don't wear them because of her, they are just comfy to sleep in, and I stole them fair and square; that's it."

And finally, we get the gay man's perspective​ from ForgetMeThereafter, which is crucial here. He wears boxers of his own and also has the opportunity to snag some from his partners. Here's his two cents:

As a gay male, I'd be sad if my BF wore an ex's underwear because to myself as a male (and I don't think being gay necessarily matters on that point), I just find underwear to be an "intimate item of clothing." They caress my dick and balls all day... if my partner has them, it's probably because it came about as part of sexual activity or at least a sexually intimate relationship and him wearing them would put that in the back of my head unnecessarily (even if, while sad, I'd not really care that much, I don't want to think about that - even dismissively).

If a partner legitimately finds it to be intimate clothing (as any straight or gay male may well, and do, think...) it seems completely fair for the partner of that person to not wear an ex's intimate clothing if the partner feels x-way about clothing.

So it seems like the right thing is for her to throw out the boxers and throw out the fight along with them. It's an easy thing to give up, and if it isn't, maybe she should consider going back to her ex for another pair and a second chance at that relationship.

Because who wants to fight over boxers?

9 Muslim women shared how they honestly feel about wearing (or not wearing) a hijab.

If you're not Muslim, you may have lots of seemingly un-askable questions about what it's like to wear a hijab, a traditional headscarf: Have you been coerced? Do you feel more safe with that on? Why are you trying to attract attention to your religion? Aren't you hot under there?

The blue and pink scarves are hijabs, and that pink one is apparently quite delicious.

Thankfully, 9 women posted to the AskWomen section of reddit explaining why they wear religious garb in a time when being Muslim is highly misunderstood.

1. tamataaaa admits she wears it only out of family obligation.

I (have to) wear it and I fucking hate it more than anything. I have to because it's a part of my family's tradition. It's not required by law

I absolutely hate what it represents and feel a growing resentment towards it.

It's not really JUST a "piece of cloth", yet it is. It bears a heavy weight on my shoulders (almost literally) and my heart, and it makes me feel ugly and fake.

2. ​YayCookiesForever insists that coercion isn't the only reason women wear them.

I do wear a hijab and I love it. The women in my family have always worn it to show our love for God and I am happy to continue the tradition.

I only have one thing to say to people who insist a woman can't wear one without being forced or coerced: fuck off.

3. ​5988 does not wear one despite her family's wishes, but has a deep knowledge of the culture.

I come from a Muslim background. I don't wear one.

I personally feel pretty uncomfortable wearing one. :( My family does not force me, though I know they wish I did.

All families are different, and some will force their daughters to wear them but it's totally inaccurate to assume that a hijab-wearing muslim is doing it because she's forced.

I can't speak about what its like to wear it publicly but I do have friends who have encountered harassment due to their hijabs, unfortunately. I'm both surprised (and glad) that most seem to have overwhelmingly positive experiences with wearing them.

4. keepcalmandrunon is a med student who wears hers at a hospital and says it hasn't slowed her down at all.

I wear a hijab, have for most of my life, and haven't felt any real animosity! Sure, there are second glances and too long stares from some but nothing too unbearable :)

My biggest worry was if my patients would feel uncomfortable around me (just a med student) but but they've been great! My concern was whether they'd feel uncomfortable or ask to see someone else, but no one has seemed surprised/unsettled and we've gotten along fabulously, alhamdulillah :)

I consider it an integral part of me so I pretty much take it into consideration when getting dressed. Fashion is a huge part of my life so I make sure it complements my outfit or vice-versa if I'm rocking a particularly cool hijab :)

5. theskyissobluetoday explains that although sometimes people try to grab it off her head, the hijab doesn't change the way she acts.

I wear hijab, I live in a busy suburb, not too far from a city and I'm indifferent to it by now. It's become a part of my routine and kind of a part of myself, so if someone touches it, threatens to rip it off (jokingly or serious, it happens all too often for me to take it as a joke) I become kind of uncomfortable.

But it hasn't really restricted me from doing anything or acting in any way like 'toned down' or less blatant than I would be just because of the way I look.

6. By contrast, ZanimeFreak feel like it makes her more toned down so she won't stand out and invite harassment.

I was born in the UK and have been wearing hijab for over 10 years (I'm 20 now). Luckily I haven't had any hostility directly towards me but I do often feel like I'm treated slightly different to if I didn't wear hijab, like people tend to think I'm very conservative and withdrawn. I'm usually quite outgoing but I do have to admit that wearing it has probably made me a little more shy since I don't want to stand out as much in fear that someone will harass me for what I wear.

7. summerproject16 made a conscious decision to start wearing one once she became an adult, and continues to wear it despite fears it will cause someone will attack her.

I started wearing the hijab 2 years ago after finishing high school. I had gone to a Christian high school and that opened me to have questions about Islam and Christianity too. Then I reached a conclusion that I should wear it.

I feel like the odd one out since I started wearing it. I am doing a major full of guys(computer science) and being one of three girls who are in my class:I look different racially and religion wise.

I have made some friends;probably 3 in my major. I feel like people have judged me already by how I dress but seriously I don't give much thought to it.

I have picked running and I get weird glances all the time when I go to the gym or do trail running which I stopped after the Orlando shooting. All I wear is a cloth that covers my bun plus baseball hat and normal gym wear.

My biggest fear is a guy will just beat me up one of these days since I am petite and too nosy+adventurous and like going everywhere alone if my friends are not up to it.

I went to a Jazz festival last week with my white friend and her family and the public scrutiny was too much. My friend sensed and asked if I felt uncomfortable that we could just leave the place.

Other than that, I have had people approach me and ask me where I am from and some tell me my hijab looks pretty.

The computer science department has great professors and are awesome. I haven't felt any discrimination from them either.

I stand out too. I went to a hockey tournament with one of my friends from Texas and a random guy I didn't knew a month later told me that I looked familiar and later on said that he saw me at the hockey tournament.

8. cannothearunlesssee explains she only wears hers during religious moments.

I am a muslim woman and only wear scarf to pray. Feels nice and secure. I have worn it on daily basis for a few months as well. My family was totally against wearing it on daily basis.

9. OfficialUSA is answering for her friend, who wears a niqab, which covers the face, leaving only room for the eyes to see through.

It does get really, really hot. My niqaabi friend sweats around where the niqaab falls on her face. Also, with wearing the niqaab, you get used to breathing less air. I tried it on once and was so surprised that it's hard to breathe! My friend said that you get used to it but I'm still amazed haha

The etiquette is the same, you can still approach them, they're still people lol. They wear the niqaab for some extra religious reasons.

This is a stock photo of what is probably a non-Muslim woman modeling a niqab, but hey at least they had one.

Bonus answer from animflynny2012, an atheist man who is dating a Muslim woman.

My girlfriend is Muslim and wears the headscarf. I'm an atheist. For the record on our first talks over a dating app I thought it would lead to nothing due to religion and also be wearing that damn head scarf. Then I met her on the first date and damn, she looked amazing, amazing enough to floor me and then she hit me with the double whammy, her intelligence was so far beyond mine. We've been together a year and I've not questioned her choice of wearing it. If your happy and most comfortable (which she swears she is) wearing what you do, don't change people.

It's great he doesn't question her choice in wearing that scarf, but is it wrong to question her choice in dating a much dumber dude? Get out there, girl!

'OITNB' actress Danielle Brooks tweets how much she hates when people assume she's never flown first class.

On June 30, Danielle Brooks, who plays Tastee on Orange Is the New Black, tweeted about an airline ticketing agent seemingly congratulating her when she found out Brooks was flying in first class: "I hate when gate agents look at me like I've never flown first class and say 'You're in first class, lucky you!' Really tho."

🚨See you in a few... 🚨

A photo posted by Danielle Brooks (@daniebb3) on

Brooks has since deleted the tweet, but it started a debate on Twitter over whether or not the airline employee's comment was indicative of racism.

The tweets fell into two camps: those that agreed the comment was sort of racist, and those who thought the employee was being sincere, since first class is much nicer than coach. Oh, and a third camp that didn't even understand what she was saying in the tweet and thought the actor was pissed the airline agent didn't recognize her (that was mostly white people).

Whatever the ticketing agent meant, at least two things are true: 1. first class seems awesome (champagne? Hot towels? Leg room? No crazy monsters tearing up the wings? They really are lucky travelers!) and 2. luck really didn't have anything to do with it.


Keri Russell gave her baby such a normal name it's almost weird.

Keri Russell was on Todaythis Friday, promoting her new Civil War movie, Free State of Jones, in which she costars with Matthew McConaughey. She also told Matt Lauer the name of the baby she had with her The Americans co-star Matthew Rhys in May. And that name is (drumroll, please)… Sam. This is Rhys' first child; Russell has two from a previous marriage.

Lauer asked her, jokingly, "Am I correct in reading, Ms. Russell, that you have not yet revealed the gender of the baby or the baby's name?"

Russell replied that she hadn't: "I mean, I guess not. I mean, where do you reveal that?" Apparently she does not subscribe to Celebrity Baby Names Weekly.

She announced (replete with fanfare) that she'd had a boy and that his name is Sam. She added that he was doing well and that, "He's big and fat and nice." Which is truly pretty much what you want in a good baby. And congratulations on that Walk of Fame star, too!

Even Trump's crowd seems uncomfortable with his ad-lib about Mexicans attacking his rally.

In the latest edition of "Last Politician Standing" starring upcoming comedians Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, it seems that ad-libs continue to work against the performers. During a speech in New Hampshire, Don "Chuckles" Trump began with a strong bit about Mexican leaders, before spotting a plane overhead and launching into off-the-cuff material.

The audible intake of breath after a joke—masked in no way by any laughter from the audience—is typically an indication of a poor punch line. Trump's "tag," as a follow up line is known in the comedy world, was, "So (long reflective pause on the state of his campaign)... that's the way it is folks."

A bit of a throwback to the old school "Catskills Cradle" school of comedy, sure, but largely unappreciated by his crowd of clearly new-school, absurdist admirers.

In contrast, Hillary Clinton relies primarily on scripts, provided by what you can only assume are a team of typical, Hollywood liberal joke writers.

Chrissy Teigen's Twitter feed is truly a delight. On Thursday night, Teigen tweeted about how she freaked out over a (scheduled and pre-announced) emergency drill in the hotel where she was staying.

Being half naked is not exactly a new thing for Teigen, who is a Sports Illustrated model and also a breastfeeding mom.

She probably doesn't need to worry about showing her face now that she's apparently shown "half" her body naked.

Teigen's mother, Vilailuck Teigen (who goes by @pepperthai2 on Twitter), doesn't seem especially calm in the face of a crisis, either. Hey, even if they never found the purse, at least they grabbed the baby.

Teigen is probably pretty even when she's vomiting. She shared a quick video with her followers, too, letting them know she and her mother were doing fine and had made it safely through the fake emergency.
