People think that Kaley Cuoco and her dogs are traitors to this country.

Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco pissed off a bunch of 'Muricans this Fourth of July weekend when she posted this picture of her dogs to her Instagram. At first glance you are probably like, "Aw, doggies in bandanas!" But look closer, people. Those doggies are sitting on the American flag. Traitors.

Are these dogs terrorists? Anti-American? Enemies of the state? Or are they merely just dogs who can't comprehend the symbolism of a nation's flag but know how to "sit" and "stay?" You can be the judge of that.

So a lot of people took issue with the picture, and they believe the she should never have shared it. (Although Cuoco didn't actually pose her dogs for the photo; they were being cared for by @the_pet_handler while she was out of town.) According to Fox News, one person wrote "Showing disrespect for the flag, it should never touch the ground, or let your pet stand on it!” while another said “Shame on you, Kaley. You lost a fan.”

Cuoco has since deleted the picture and issued an apology on her account.

I would like to comment on a photo I posted yesterday , that has caused lots of controversy. First off, please know, I have the utmost respect for my country. I am a proud American in every sense of the word. I understand the American flag stands for our freedom and represents American heroes , past and present.
Yesterday I made a mistake by posting the picture that was taken of my sweet dogs posing on an American flag. I sincerely apologize to anyone that has been offended by my previous post. This is no way reflects my feelings toward what the American flag represents. Living in the public eye, can be extremely difficult at times. Every mistake and every imperfection is amplified. I am not perfect. I am a proud American, today, tomorrow, always.

Look, she said "American" six times! She must really be a true patriot. And just to drive the point home, she also uploaded this picture of her and boyfriend Karl Cook clad head to toe in stars and stripes.

The dogs, however, have not yet publicly apologized. Shameful.


Gretchen Carlson sues Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, claims he fired her for refusing sex.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson (Fox & Friends, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson) is suing her former boss, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. In her lawsuit, Carlson alleges her termination from the network on June 26 was retaliation for protesting unfair treatment by her male colleagues, particularly Steve Doocy, and also for refusing to begin a sexual relationship with the 76-year-old Ailes.

As you may have heard, I am no longer with Fox News. I value your support and friendship, especially now, so please...

Posted by Unofficial: Gretchen Carlson on Wednesday, July 6, 2016

Carlson announced her departure from the network on the morning of July 6 on Facebook, and news of her lawsuit broke across the internet at almost the exact same minute. She had worked for Fox since 2005, after working for CBS from 2000-2005 and first rising to prominence as Miss America in 1989, and as a spokesperson for the March of Dimes. The fact that she was Miss America was apparently important to Ailes, because Carlson alleges that he embarrassed her in public once by bragging that he had "slept" with three Miss Americas but not Carlson.

Her best known program, the morning panel show Fox & Friends, was itself not immune from charges of sexism, including segments where they deemed the "lesson" of the Ray Rice domestic abuse elevator video was "take the stairs."

An excerpt from Carlson's lawsuit.

In her lawsuit, Carlson specifically claims that Ailes told her in September 2015, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago, and then you'd be good and I'd be good and better," which, if true, is a super not-OK thing to say to an employee. The lawsuit states that Ailes allegedly added, "Sometimes problems are easier to solve that way."

But wait! There's more! Ailes would fantasize out loud about being stranded on a desert island with Carlson, and complain to her that his marriage was "boring." Here are a few more gems from the lawsuit:

TL;DR - Stop being so offended and also stop being better at your job than "the boys!"
"Do you understand what I'm saying to you?" is one of those phrases you should avoid when opening yourself up to a lawsuit.

But what about Steve Doocy, you ask? As usual, he's mostly accused of just being a massive tool. In Carlson's lawsuit, she accuses Doocy of “mocking her during commercial breaks, shunning her off air, refusing to engage with her on air, [and] belittling her contributions to the show."

C'mon, what morning show doesn't involve a little friendly silencing and intimidating?

Keep in mind, this is a man who hosted a segment where dads gawked at young women in tights to determine if the outfits were too sexy for their own daughters.

https://twitter.com/GretchenCarlson/status/744316070920622080

Carlson clearly had reservations about turning on the company that brought her to fame, but she wrote in a prepared statement, "I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career... Although this was a difficult step to take, I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women and the next generation of women in the workplace."

There's a town called Dildo, just in case you were looking to feel uncomfortable today.

"Mom, what's a dildo?" a child asks.

"Oh, hmmm, wasn't ready to have this conversation yet. OH! It's a town in Newfoundland!" the mother responds.

That imaginary mother wasn't lying to her kid; there really is a town in Newfoundland called Dildo.

Dildo goes <----

How big is it? Roughly 1,200 people live there, who proudly call themselves Dildoians, according to The New York Times. It's been around since the late 18th century, and is primarily known for its abundance of marine resources. As in animals, not actual Marines holding dildos.

There have been previous attempts to change the name to something less controversial, but all measures have failed. The people of Dildo are proud of their long and strong heritage.

While you're exploring Dildo, you can drop by The Treasure Cove (not a sex store), B & M Machine Shop (also not a sex store), or even the Mattress Store (indirectly a sex store).

Or you could create a YouTube video of yourself touring Dildo. Just please, layoff the techno music; the people of Dildo prefer smooth jazz.

People from various countries share customs that are totally normal there, but weird everywhere else.

The best part about the Internet, besides seeing idiots humiliate themselves on Facebook, is having the opportunity to learn about places and people without ever having to leave the bathroom.

Model American

Despite all this inter-connectivity, each country still has its own quirks that are commonplace there, but would seem totally bizarre anywhere else. For example, here in America, it's perfectly normal pick your teeth in public with one of those floss picks and leave them on the ground (or at least that's what my deskmate would have me believe). Today, the people of reddit shared the uniquely weird things they do in their countries.

1. qimerra from Japan says it's perfectly normal to force your own snot backwards into your nostrils.

Sniffing incessantly is acceptable in Japan, whereas nose blowing in public is considered disgusting.

2. GayAndFired says in Mexico everyday is the plot to Ransom.

When I was a kid growing up in Mexico, if I was misbehaving my mom would point at a random man and say something like, "behave or that man will take you with him". Weirdest part about it was that most of the time the man went along with it. It always worked, but I can't see something like that being done in the states.

The only thing worse than being kidnapped is being Mel Gibson's son.

3. kingnico89 makes a case for Chile being the friendliest country in the world.

Inviting your family, friends, co workers, neighbours, the lady who cleans your parents house, her family, the bus driver, that person you met three years ago at a indigenous people issues seminar and his wife to a "asado" (bbq) at your place and really mean it and expect everyone will show up. (Chile)

4. The takeaway from Kevin0wens from India's comment is that the sooner you have kids, the sooner you can retire.

Living with parents.

Even when you're the sole earner and supporting the whole family in a house bought by your own money. Because in my country (& culture), parents support kids till they get a job, then its kids' responsibility to support parents.

5. Also in India, slo_mo_afro tells us they are mad chill and never need to say no homo

2 guys walking, holding pinkies and just being friends. Not considered gay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjsXTaBfHkY

In the box, not the closet.

6. ImTheBengaliTiger from Finland makes the practice of hanging out in a sauna sound weird as hell.

Getting naked with a bunch of strangers in a tiny, hot room

7. zero_space explains a Japanese practice that would cut down on 90% of our server's eye-rolling here in the States.

In Japan it's impolite and childish to expect to be able to tell a chef "no tomato please" or "no onions" or anything like that. If you want food without onions you should order something that doesn't contain onions. You can pick the onions off but people find that childish too.

8. juiceboxheero from Burkina Faso says it's commonplace to follow the rule of "sharing is caring."

When eating a meal, yelling out "You're Invited!" to anyone you know who passes by you.

9. Muffer-Nl from the Netherlands realizes that important people don't usually travel on two wheels. Of course, for Americans, simply "having a prime minister" or "having a crown princess" is also weird.

Having your prime minister ride his bike to work.

Having your crown princess ride her bike to school.

If our political leaders rode their bikes to work, this is how they would do it.

10. Makeshift27015 demonstrates a very abbreviated greeting in the UK.

Expecting a response to "Alright?" to be "Alright?", and that acting as formal introductions and pleasantries for the day.

11. Andromeda321 says that at Hungarian weddings, everyone waits around to dance with the freshly de-flowered bride (even though she probably wasn't a virgin).

In Hungarian weddings, around midnight (of an all night party) the bride and groom will disappear, and then reappear some time later with the bride having changed from her white dress into a red one. Then the wedding emcee will basically announce that there is one less girl in the world and one more woman, and essentially now that she's no longer a girl she can dance with anyone... for money. Then the wedding guests basically put money in a hat to have a brief time to dance with the bride, and if you put a lot of money in you can even request the song. (At traditional, huge weddings this would even go on so long that groomsmen would show up wearing drag to "pretend" to be the bride and give the poor woman a break!)

Mind, even though it's perfectly normal to live with your boyfriend/girlfriend in Hungary these days before getting married, and it would be weird to not have sex beforehand, I can't say I have ever heard of other modern cultures celebrating the consummation of the wedding short of nomadic tribes or similar.

12. Writerblock17 explains one thing South Koreans do that would actually make you want to say you are older than you are.

Not actually from this country, but a friend from South Korea said that asking someone's age is one of the first things you do when meeting them (so you know how formally to speak with them).

Logically, it makes sense, but I can't imagine walking up to a woman/man I've never met here (Canada) and asking how old they are. It'd be awfully rude.

I'm 45, why do you ask?

13. smileedude says Australia is an entire country of people who actually want to talk to their taxi drivers.

Sitting in the front seat of a taxi when your on your own is apparently weird in places outside of Australia.

14. chrissssmith says the UK is full of people who are waiting for a chance to humiliate their waitresses.

In the UK, if a waitress or waiter drops a plate, or smashes a glass in a restaurant, at least one person (and often many people) in the restaurant will shout WHEEEYYYYYYYYY. In effect, deliberately highlighting their mistake with a loud, sarcastic jeer.

It's really not clear why this happens, but just does, and I don't think it would be acceptable in most other countries.

15. fiala__ from Slovakia has an even more humiliating practice.

Drenching females in ice-cold water and beating them with whips made from willow branches to ensure they're healthy and pretty every Easter Monday.

Note: This is Rita Ora doing the ice bucket challenge, not a Slovakian Easter girl.

16. And finally, if you can you guess where sir_rob is from, you win a prize.*

Giving wine to kids.

If you guessed France, you're right.

*Your prize is being right.

Identical twins manage to have their babies at the exact same time.

If they're anything like the two Lindsay Lohans in Parent Trap, Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers have been leading parallel lives since their happy days together in the fetal position. And, now it's time to congratulate them for their most impeccably twinly achievement: both had a baby son at 1:18 a.m., on the same day, in two different time zones.​

Identical twin sisters give birth on same day at exact same time

"We've always lived in separate places … but certainly there's another connection at the twin level." http://on.today.com/29gkPog

Posted by Today Show on Tuesday, July 5, 2016

Rodgers gave birth Thursday morning in Denver at 1:18 a.m. Exactly one hour later, Mariuz gave birth in La Jolla, California at 1:18 a.m.

Identical twins: a demon abomination to some, a sexist Coors Light commercial to others.

Oh, and if that wasn't proof that twins are genetically superior/capable of telekinesis, listen to this f*&#ing anecdote:

The sisters learned they were pregnant last year around the same time and planned to tell each other on Thanksgiving, which they were celebrating together. But as soon as Rodgers saw her sister, she already knew.

Yeah, they both got pregnant, both planned to tell each other at Thanksgiving, and then they didn't have to because Rodgers has what she calls "twintuition."

Congratulations, twins. You are twins.

Erin Kiernan, news anchor for Iowa's WHO-TV, is like a lot of women in that she sometimes struggles with feeling good about how she looks in a swimsuit. But this summer, she decided to investigate those feelings and get to the bottom of them in a Facebook post that's been liked more than 5,000 times. Her ultimate conclusion? "Feel good, friends. And put on your damn swimsuit."

Happy 4th of July! During the last holiday weekend I posted a link to a wonderful essay called, "Put On Your Damn...

Posted by Erin Kiernan on Monday, July 4, 2016

The post reads:

Happy 4th of July!

During the last holiday weekend I posted a link to a wonderful essay called, "Put On Your Damn Swimsuit".

The next day I felt like the biggest hypocrite.

I have a drawer full of swimsuits. I tried on all of them. None of them fit. I had a meltdown. Even after my husband made a Target run and came back with a bag full of cute suits I felt frustrated and ashamed and angry about the way I looked. Then I felt frustrated and ashamed and angry for feeling those feelings.

It's why I'm posting this picture. It's not me now. It's me two years ago. It's what I call "Average Erin". It's me when I'm working out on a regular basis but not killing myself. It's me when I'm eating healthy but not denying myself the occasional cheeseburger or glass of wine. It's just plain old me.

The thing is - when I first saw this picture I was horrified. My inner dialogue went like this ... "Cellulite! Huge thighs! Stretch marks! Blech!"

Two years and several pounds and stretch marks later I'm wondering why I've felt this way about myself for so many years.

Why do so many of us feel this way about ourselves?

The weekend I posted the "Put On Your Damn Swimsuit" essay a friend pulled me aside to thank me for it. She went on and on and on about how she's struggled with negative body image for years and said she always declines invitations to the lake or the pool because of it, but this year she was going to have fun, dammit! I was looking at her thinking, "Are you kidding me?!?!?" She's blonde and funny and thin and perfect.

WTH?

Every day in the dressing room at work I hear, "Oh my GAWD - my thighs! Ugh...my hair! Ew - look at this gut! Geesh, these wrinkles!" These comments are coming out of the mouths of some of the smartest, strongest, most talented and beautiful women I know.

Why?

I know high school and college girls who have "DIET" in big bold letters on their massive "To Do" lists. They're young and brilliant and gorgeous and they have their whole lives in front of them.

Why are they worried about dieting?

One of my relatives recently spent a ridiculous amount of time talking to me about her "mom bod" and how fat and out of shape she is. She did this in front of her pre-teen daughter and it made me so sad because she's an incredible mom and she's funny and she's beautiful.

Why does she talk about herself this way?

Of course I blame airbrushing and mass media and the internet and fitspo and all sorts of modern day things for this sickness, but it's been going on for a lot longer than many of these things have existed.

It's not just women. One of the people I love the most feels this way because his dad constantly called him names; insulting everything from his looks to his intelligence.This man is one of the most clever, attractive people I know.

Why did his dad say these things to him?

By contrast, most of my family members were my biggest cheerleaders. But there was definitely a premium placed on appearance. I remember watching my mom stand on the scale, shaking her head. She also made a lot of disparaging comments about her looks. She's skinny. And she's beautiful. More importantly, she's super smart and funny and generous.

Why did she say these things about herself?

When I was in junior high a new girl moved to town and it didn't take long for me to be "on the outs" with my friends of many years. After a pool party the new girl and my former friends started calling me "stretch". I didn't get it. Someone had to explain to me that I had stretch marks and that they were a bad thing and that I was being made fun of for having them. She also pointed out to everyone how ugly my nose was. I've obsessed about these things about myself ever since then.

Why did she say those things about me?

One of those childhood friends also explained to me how awful it is to have rolls on your belly when we were at the pool one day. She also schooled me in what ideal legs look like (only touching at the very top of the thighs, the knees and the ankles. Who knew?!?).

Who taught her these things? I know the answer to this one - her mom.

I don't know how to combat all of these influences. It's so hard. My instinct when I look in the mirror is to start criticizing. My instinct when I hear others saying negative things about themselves is to chime in with negative comments about myself. My instinct is to always feel like I could be better.

Here's what I'm gong to do...I'm going to try to monitor both my inner dialogue and what I say out loud in an effort to eradicate this sort of negativity. Not just for for myself - but for my son. I want him to be surrounded by people who value others for their hearts and minds, not their appearance. And that includes his parents and how they view and talk about themselves.

To steal a quote from a teacher whose yoga class I took recently, "It doesn't matter how it looks, what matters it how it feels."

Feel good, friends. And put on your damn swimsuit.

Prankster posts delightful made-up 'animal facts' at the zoo.

Well-loved internet prankster Obvious Plant has turned his talents on the animal kingdom. He posted a series of "animal facts" at the Los Angeles Zoo on June 30 that are not entirely (or at all) based in reality.

Previously, Mr. Plant (real name Jeff Wysaski) has posted similar signs in IKEA, the grocery store, a Halloween costume store, and pretty much everywhere people go and can be fooled.

Here are more very false animal facts from the zoo, which were "promptly taken down" by humorless zoo staff:

Wouldn't it be a strange and charming—and extremely dangerous—world if these were true?

Taylor Swift groped Tom Hiddleston's boobs on a waterslide.

Taylor Swift saw an opportunity for a healthy dose of consensual man gropage with Tom Hiddleston on the 4th of July, and she went for it, teaching us all to take advantage of opportunities when they're presented to us. How American.

Taylor Swift pulls a Swifty by groping Tom Hiddleston's man boobs.

At the beginning of relationships, you're always looking for opportunities to brush up against your new mate's naughty bits. Proving she's just like us, Swift did just that. The scene at the top of the water slide probably went down like this:

Taylor (to Abercrombie & Fitch looking model friends): Swifties, stay behind me, I got a plan.

Friends: Please, stop calling us Swifties, we're real people.

Taylor: Sure.

(Taylor wraps her legs around Tom, he glances back at her with a wink as if to say, "I'm emotionally present and not at all doing this to help my career." They slide. Taylor's hands raise from Tom's stomach to... wait for it... PROJECT GROPE MAN BOOBS ACCOMPLISHED).

Good for Taylor. It looked like she had a truly magical time creating very shareable social media 4th of July weekend.

Happy 4th from us ❤️

'Ab crack' is the newest beauty trend causing insecurities on Instagram.

0
0

Ab crack is the newly-coined term by Ellefor an unrealistic trend you can love to hate on Instagram. It refers to having a visible line or split right down the middle of your stomach (the line that vertically splits a six pack of abs). It's only really practical to achieve if you're already naturally super slim, and follow that up by working out like a crazy person to get super cut. Much like thigh gaps and other impossible beauty standards, ab crack is a trend that's only possible if you're a professional model or fitness guru.

Here are some examples:

Curiously, none of the women that posted these Instagram pics used the hashtag or phrase "ab crack." One did after her pics were used in articles describing the newly-named trend:

But if the term catches on and results in more likes and views for Instagram pics, more models and fitness buffs will be sure to use it.

13 celebrities with hygiene so bad, it's a good thing they're gorgeous.

0
0

If you've ever fantasized about getting up close and personal with a sexy celebrity, here's something to turn your dreams into nightmares: some of them are straight up slobs. Despite being able to afford the most expensive soaps, deodorants and perfumes imaginable, these celebrities are a bigger mess than the this years's election cycle. Here are 11 celebrities who are surrounded by bad hygiene rumors like a cartoon stink cloud. Gross.

Smell ya later.

1. Matthew McConaughey

You know he hates shirts, but guess what? Matthew McConaughey hates deodorant even more. While filming Fool’s Gold in 1998, Kate Hudson reportedly begged her costar to cover his stank for their love scenes. She even bought him some deodorant, but he declined her offer. McConaughey said he doesn't “like to smell like someone or something else” and added that women (besides Kate Hudson) love his natural aroma. His chill hygiene practices apparently haven't changed in the years since. He reportedly stunk up the cars with B.O. when he was filming those weird Lincoln commercials. Alright, alright, all wrong.

You reek, bro.

2. Megan Fox

Lust after Megan Fox all you want, but she'll be the first to tell you she's nasty. She confessed, “I’m horrible to live with. I don’t clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, 'Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.'"

New unattainable beauty goal: Be "leave sh*t in the toilet" Pretty.

Bye Miami.

3. Robert Pattinson

In a 2012 interview with Extra, the Twilight star disclosed that he's dirty, and not in the fun sexy way. When asked if it was true that he hadn't washed his hair for six weeks, Pattinson answered, “Probably. I don’t know. I don’t really see the point in washing your hair. If you don’t care if your hair’s clean or not then why would you wash it?” he continued. “It’s like, I don’t clean my apartment ’cause I don’t care. I have my apartment for sleeping in and I have my hair for just, you know, hanging out on my head. I don’t care if it’s clean or not.”

Dang, R-Patts DGAF!

That's nastier than a 100 year old vampire dating a high school student.

4. Cameron Diaz

There's just something about pit stains. Cameron Diaz has developed a rep for being sweaty af on the red carpet, and she's owning it. The star admitted she hasn't used deodorant in 20 years. She also said she wears the same clothes four days in a row and then throws them away. Damn, Cam.

5. Bradley Cooper

In disappointing hunk news, Bradley Cooper has also hopped on the no deodorant bandwagon. In an interview with Esquire, Cooper revealed that he does not wear deodorant because the body “self-cleans.” Maybe it only self cleans if you're a celebrity, cause it's not working for people who ride the NYC Subway system.

When you look like this, no one tells you you've got rancid pits.

6. Jessica Simpson

Don't worry, everyone, Jessica Simpson's pits smell just fine. It's what's happening in her mouth that has everyone cringing. While on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Simpson confessed that she only brushes her teeth a few times a week. Her excuse?"My teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel too slippery... but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday," she told DeGeneres. "But I don’t brush them everyday. I’ll use a shirt or something ... I know it's gross, but I always have fresh breath."

While her kids might like this brand of dental hygiene, using a shirt to wipe off your teeth instead of brushing them is recommended by zero out of five dentists.

Sgt Pepper or Jimi Hendrix? #ACEKNUTE

7. Brangelina

Jennifer Aniston, if you're reading this (and of course you are), you will be glad to know that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly“live like a couple of hobos, with pizza boxes around them, food left out to spoil, and toothpaste and crayon marks on the walls. It’s actually pretty disgusting.”

The couple's employees have allegedly complained that the six Jolie-Pitt kids run buck wild, and that no one in the family bathes regularly (although Brad's been known to brag about using baby wipes to clean himself between showers).

Can't they just hire someone to hose them off once in a while?

The couple who stinks together stays together.

8. Christina Aguilera

When Christina sang about being dirty, everyone thought she was talking about boning, but perhaps she was being literal. Hanna Hooper of the band Grouplove told CBS local that Xtina smells like hot dogs. It's such a random rumor to start that it must be true. Right? “I have friends that lived in Pittsburgh and they grew up around Christina Aguilera and they swear to God that she smells like hot dogs,” Hooper said. “Swear.”

That's not all! Another piece of juicy nasty gossip about the singer is that she doesn't wash her hands after wiping her hot-dog-scented privates. At least, that's what the bathroom attendant at the swanky LA bar Belly allegedly witnessed. Aguilera supposedly used the toilet and then did NOT wash her hands. Instead, the pop star returned to her table and ate fried calamari and shook hands with all of the unsuspecting fans that approached her table. Now that's Dirty.

9. Anderson Cooper

This one is surprising. Anderson Cooper seems like the kind of dude who's hygiene would be perfectly on point, but he's admitted to wearing the same pair of jeans every day pretty much without ever washing them. "The times I've done it, I've worn them and walked into my shower with them and put some soap on them and then air dried them," he continued. "Isn't that how you are supposed to do it?"

Aww, cute! The rich kid (he's a Vanderbilt) doesn't know how laundry works.

10. Britney Spears

In 2010, Britney Spears' bodyguard Fernando Flores filed a lawsuit against the pop star. Radar obtained the court records, and in them Flores accuses Britney of being Toxic, alleging, "she did not bathe for days on end, did not use deodorant, did not brush her teeth, did not fix her hair, did not wear shoes or socks." Flores went on to list the singer's "obnoxious personal habits" like chain smoking, farting, constant nose picking, and cursing.

She settled out of court, so we'll never truly know if Brit is guilty, or whether "whoever smelt it dealt it."

Damn... Where did all the ice cream go? Lol

11. Miley Cyrus

A source revealed to Life and Style magazine that Miley's house smells exactly like you'd imagine it would: "there's dog poop and pee everywhere, old food, pizza boxes, takeout containers, fast-food wrappers and dirty dishes piled up. The combination of all that mixed with the constant weed-smoking and the bong-water spills makes the place smell horrible."

Miley's house smells bad? Least shocking news ever.

fuck yes! Girl power on daddy's day!

12. Russell Crowe

If you think Russell Crowe had a bad attitude, don't worry: his B.O. is even worse. The National Enquirer reported that when filming Cinderella Man, Renée Zellweger complained that Crowe's stanky breath and body odor literally made her ill. She reportedly complained and begged him to clean up his act. When he refused, she insisted on using a body double for anything intimate. The late Joan Rivers backed up Zellweger's claim. Never one to hold back, Rivers said, "he has a body odor problem. I prefer to sit downwind of him at awards shows."

Long story short, Russell Crowe reeks and Joan Rivers was the absolute best.

A Beautiful Mind, A Stinky Body.

13. Julia Roberts

This is going to rock your world, but America's sweetheart apparently smells pretty sour. A former bodyguard of the star spilled that “She’ll go days without showering." If that weren't bad enough, Roberts admitted to Oprah that she never uses deodorant. You do the math. No showers + no deodorant = stank city.

Big mistake. Huge.

Pretty (Smelly) Woman
Now go shower, and don't forget the deodorant.

A young, black, female Iron Man is awesome.

Oh yeah, this is gonna be good.

Right now, as you read this, there are Internet People losing their minds because Marvel Comics is making a young, black woman the new Iron Man. You know who you are.

Here's a hot take: if you are one of those gentle souls who don't think this idea is awesome, then I humbly suggest you take a warm Epsom salt bath. They're relaxing! Then, afterwards, nuke some bagel pizzas. Self-care is important.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but in this instance, there is only one right opinion: giving a beloved superhero a fresh update is good for fans... and those who should be fans.

Due to events in this summer's Civil War II comic book miniseries, Tony is stepping down (spoiler? I guess?). In his place steps Riri Williams, a super genius Tony has known since she was a teenager. So now she's Iron Man, even though that name may change. Iron Woman? Iron Lady? No, no, that was Margaret Thatcher, the grandmother of the Brexit. Hmmm. Iron Person? This is a fun game! Anyway, gender is fluid.

Sure, there are risks when you mess with a successful formula. For instance, do you know what would happen if they made Idris Elba James Bond? That’s right! He’d kick ass and the movie would make a ton of money. But if you’re really scared about your fave super hero, take a step back and consider that the character has been around since 1963. Iron Man is one of Marvel's most popular characters on the page and on screen; he's the hero that helped launch their billion-dollar mega-movie franchise. Iron Man can take the update. Both because he’s a high-tech suit of armor and because he’s a classic piece of American pop culture.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, this new character flops. Do you think Marvel executives are going to throw up their hands and say “Well, we tried, time to retire Iron Man, and billions of dollars, forever.”

Tony Stark isn’t going anywhere. He’s coming back. Also: Tony Stark is not a real person. Yes. That’s right. Tony Stark is not your father. But! I get it. Change is hard. It’s not easy. We’re all born astride the grave. Embrace it.

A young, black female Iron Man will not destroy your childhood. On a side note: congratulations on having a great childhood! And that brings up another point that I'd like to make: comic books are for children. Hey, I love reading graphic novels. They are one of the few childhood passions that I have carried with me into my sorry excuse for an adulthood. But I have to agree with Whitney: I believe the children are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Look, a young, black female Iron Man will inspire so many more kids to read comic books. We live in a diverse country. They should all be reading power fantasies about people doing good things. Then they’ll grow up celebrating differences and taking responsibility for their actions.

These little monsters are going to be feeding us our pudding at the retirement home one day. We need them to be decent human beings.

Do you honestly think any 10-year-old of any age or gender isn’t going to be interested in the story of a young woman wearing invincible flying armor? C’mon. I’m interested in this direction too. I love Iron Man, and I’m excited that they’re trying something new. Change is good. Like that time I switched to boxer briefs. So much support.

And if I miss the old Iron Man? Like a lonely sad middle-aged man? Well, I can always watch six major motion pictures about him.

Bodybuilder mom writes open letter to all the weirdos who made fun of her pregnant belly.

Kayleigh Kelley is a competitive bodybuilder, which means a lot of the time she looks like this:

But she's more than 36 weeks pregnant right now, so her belly is a little less intimidatingly cut and a little more, you know, housing a living thing:

Unfortunately, this has brought out some trolls. Similar to how other fit moms have gotten some criticism for the small size of their pregnancy bellies, some (mostly male!) commenters on Kelley's Instagram have called her fat. During her pregnancy! Obviously, Kelley was hurt by this, because while she may have the ability to grow abs of steel like some kind of fitness cyborg, she's still a human being underneath. So she wrote this post on Instagram, and got 1,200 likes in the process:

It reads:

Long Post: since the beginning of my pregnancy I've struggled with what others think is ok to say to me. It started with •Your body will never be the same •You need to eat more your baby is going to malnourished •Your pregnant just eat whatever you want •Wow you've really grown •How's my fat friend •Wow you're really big you won't make it to your due date •Should you be lifting still •Good luck getting back to pre-pregnancy - And finally last night the worst yet •You're chubby, I've never seen you chubby, it's funny! That was the last of what I could handle on the way home with my husband I started crying (which is SUPER rare for me). Since when did it become ok to say things like this to people, pregnant or not. I have never done this to anyone. And most of these are from men. Just wanted to share & remind people that even if something seems funny or a joke to you doesn't mean it's ok to say especially to a pregnant woman. #bekind

You especially want to be kind to Kelley because with those muscles, she could probably kick your ass—pregnant or not.


Oh look, a dude criticized a famous woman's body.

On June 30, Variety graced us with a nine paragraph review of actress Renée​ Zellweger's face, written by celebrity face critic Owen Gleiberman. Sorry, FILM critic, he's Variety's new chief film critic. "Hooray!" you're probably thinking, "Another man commenting unnecessarily on a woman's appearance!" And so many comments, too. But listen—he's only doing it to protect the sanctity of the Bridget Jones franchise.

Watching the trailer, I didn’t stare at the actress and think: She doesn’t look like Renée Zellweger. I thought: She doesn’t look like Bridget Jones! Oddly, that made it matter more. Celebrities, like anyone else, have the right to look however they want, but the characters they play become part of us. I suddenly felt like something had been taken away.

Doesn't Renée realize how much she's hurting him? How awful it is for her to take Bridget Jones away from him? He can barely recognize her, what with all the "maybe slightly different eyelids" she's got going on. It's just like a woman, too—James Bond would never do this to him.

In case you haven't seen it yet, here is the offending trailer for Zellweger's (or this face-snatching imposter's) upcoming movie, Bridget Jones' Baby. Watch closely, or you may not spot Renée Zellweger, since she looks so very different.

Were you able to pick her out? Here's a hint: she's the one playing Bridget Jones—the one who looks just like Renée Zellweger. Gleiberman, however, does not think she looks like herself, and he finds this sad. In fact, this whole "vanity-fueled image culture" is making him so sad that he had to write an entire column about how Renée Zellweger may or may not have purposely changed the way she looks. Take that, vanity-fueled image culture!

What we can say is that if that happened, it reflects something indescribably sad about our culture. For in addition to being a great actress, Zellweger, as much or more than any star of her era, has been a poster girl for the notion that each and every one of us is beautiful in just the way God made us.

WHO IS THIS STRANGE WOMAN PLAYING BRIDGET JONES DEAR GOD PLEASE HELP.

Did you know Renee Zellweger was the "poster girl" for something? For being okay with yourself or not changing, or whatever high school yearbook inscription it is Gleiberman thinks she's the poster girl for? She is going to be so thrilled! But apparently someone forgot to notify Renée, because (according to Gleiberman), she's doing it wrong.

So here’s the thing: You have to realize just how radical it was that this nobody, who looked not so much like the sort of actress who would star in a Tom Cruise movie as the personal assistant to the sort of actress who would star in a Tom Cruise movie, was suddenly…starring in a Tom Cruise movie. There was a Vivien Leigh in “Gone with the Wind” vibe to it. Zellweger had won the lottery, had been plucked from semi-obscurity by the movie gods (or, actually, by the daring of Cameron Crowe), but not because it was so unusual to see a non-famous actress starring in a major movie. What was unusual, to the point of breaking the rules, was the way that she looked. . . She was beautiful in the way an ordinary person is (even that name sounded like it hadn’t been to Hollywood yet), in a way that came from outside the Tom Cruise paradigm. And that, in the end, was exactly what the movie was about: Could Cruise, as Jerry Maguire, leave aside his Cruise-control mystique to embrace something real? “You complete me” is one of the great lines in modern romantic movies because of the way it takes its inner meaning from who Renée Zellweger is. This is what completes you: someone who looks just like this. What completes you is reality.

WHO EVEN IS THIS PERSON? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?

Gleiberman uses the word "ordinary" three times in his article. He just can't stress enough just how not special her looks are. Sure, she's beautiful, but not movie star beautiful. She won the acting "lottery," the lucky gal! That's what Gleiberman finds so crazy about Zellweger's casting in Jerry Maguire—could you ever imagine someone like Tom Cruise (whose own face looks a little different now, but Gleiberman either forgot to bring that up or isn't so worried about Jack Reacher changing between movies. After all, he only had nine paragraphs) falling for someone so uninterestingly beautiful? Why would someone who possessed such commonplace beauty ever want to alter her appearance? And really, should someone whose face Gleiberman describes as "slovenly doughy-cuddly perfection" be allowed to change (or not) that face without consulting him?

The syndrome we’re talking about is far more insidious, because when you see someone who no longer looks like who they are, it’s not necessarily the result of bad cosmetic surgery. It’s the result of a decision, an ideology, a rejection of the self.

Aw, Gleiberman is worried that Zellweger has rejected herself. Strange, though, that he seems to be the one doing most of the rejecting—for example, rejecting the idea that a woman, real or fictional, should ever be able to change her appearance (or not) without a male film critic writing a nine paragraph article about it. But it's not his fault! He just finds himself too distracted by his curiosity over whether Renée had "work" done, and if so, why, to fully focus on her portrayal of Bridget Jones. Oh, man, he's going to be so upset when he learns about Mickey Rourke.

Ed Sheeran and his girlfriend photobomed Taylor Swift with some serious PDA.

Taylor Swift's social-media-conquering PDA with her new boyfriend Tom Hiddleston has been all over the news recently, and clearly her buddy Ed Sheeran was feeling left out. Ed and girlfriend Cherry Seaborn made a not-so-subtle appearance in the background an Instagram photo Taylor posted yesterday. The photo was supposed to be congratulating her friend, Abigail Anderson, on her engagement to Matt Lucier​. That's not why it went viral, though.

"Love actually is all around." Congratulations guys ❤️ @abigail_lauren @teddysphotos

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Let's take a closer look.

Ah, yes. If the Harry Potter books are to be believed, the British term for that is "snogging."

We're happy for you, Ed. What better way to celebrate your love than by making out with your girlfriend at Taylor Swift's house while she's trying to take an elaborately staged Instagram photo? Congratulations, you crazy kids.

Crafty lady makes prom-ready dress out of pubic hair.

Pubes are usually worn under your dress, not on top of it—but not according to dress designer and mother-of-two Sarah Louise Bryan. Bryan made a bra and skirt combo largely out of pubic hair (and some head hair, as she notes on her Facebook), and the whole hairy thing took about six months to make. You may be thinking, "How did she get enough pubic hair to construct a dress in just half a year?" Well she didn't grow all that vag hair by herself, that would be crazy! She did the sane thing and asked strangers for pube donations. Duh.

Wow, so many colors...

According to The Mirror, Bryan created the ensemble because she wanted to top Lady Gaga's meat dress in weirdness. Well congrats Sarah, you did it.

Designer Makes A Dress Out Of Pubic Hair | MTV News

NO WORDS! Sarah Louise Bryan asked for people's hair from down there to make herself an outfit!

Posted by MTV UK on Wednesday, July 6, 2016

Bryan did say she struggled with the construction of the dress, and that she would often start gagging as she was making it because of how many pubes she would end up inhaling (you probably gagged just reading that). Eventually she resorted to using a mask, which was the most sane decision in the whole process. She said, "I set to work with my eye mask, breathing mask and thickest gloves I could find, because who wants to eat pubic hair?"

No one. No one does.

If you are thoroughly disgusted by Bryan's dress, good, because that is what she was going for. "I thought of the design because of how gross it is. I thought what would be the worst thing to have on your dress." Well, mission accomplished.

so it here goes....100% human BODY & HEAD hair...how's your sweet tooth now???

Posted by Sarah Louise Bryan on Saturday, July 2, 2016

This isn't the first viral dress Bryan has made; she constructed a dress entirely out of Skittles earlier this year. It looks like she is now aiming to be remembered for something a little less sweet.

Oh god she's touching it with the same hands she uses to feed herself.
