The President of Israel is catching Pokémon in the presidential residence.

Quick, somebody bust out a Lure Module, there's a security breach in the President of Israel's official residence. President Reuven "Ruvi" Rivlin posted a photo to Facebook of the Pokemon Go invasion within the Presidential house (called the Beit HaNassi, "President's House").

Somehow, Meowth was able to get past security and into the President's private quarters. Considering he (or she?) comes in at 1 foot 4 inches, they probably snuck in with a delivery of rugelach.

Meowth broke in to the Israeli Presidential Residence.

It's not clear if the photo was taken by President Rivlin or someone on his staff, but regardless, the owner went to great digital lengths to even find Meowth. Officially, Pokémon Go is only available in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia (but like many things online, people have...other ways of downloading it).

It's a nice piece of positive press for Pokémon Go, which hasn't been the most popular game among prominent Jewish organizations in the past week.

Perhaps this is the state of Israel's way of saying, "See, we have fun too, just in the proper places." Like the President's house.

What's cuter than a tiny, adorable baby napping in a magical forest dressed in a bunny costume? Fouridentical adorable tiny babies napping in a magical forest dressed in bunny costumes.

Cassandra Jones of Noelle Mirabella Photography got to meet the two-month old Webb quadruplets—Abigail, Mckayla, Grace, and Emily—one of the only 70 sets of identical quadruplets in the world.

I have been dying to share these images! Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph these gorgeous IDENTICAL...

The most exceptional fact isn't how rare the quadruplets are, but how they all managed to be asleep at the same time.

Proud mom goes viral with the story about the birth of her 'newborn.'

Oh, the miracle of birth. Words cannot express the pride, excitement, and joy of first gazing upon that which you have created with your own blood, sweat and tears: a beautiful, warm, perfect pile of clean laundry.

Unless you're Bunmi Laditan. This new mom found the words. Many, many words, which she posted on Facebook today along with a photo of her adorable newborn basket of laundry. The post has already been shared over 11 thousand times, because so many of us can relate to this consummate experience of creating life.

"This new basket of laundry was born after a long but rewarding labor," wrote Laditan, who also has several non-laundry offspring. "While it initially took on a slight odor that my oldest daughter called 'marsh swamp' due to sitting in the washer for longer than it should have, a quick rewash with overpriced oxygen powder (whatever that even is) proved sufficient. I'd by lying if I said it smelled 100% fresh, but I love all my children, even the funky ones."

Here is her tribute to the new member of her family in full:

I am very proud and excited to announce a new addition to my family: this pink basket of clothes from the dryer. As many of you know, I practice attachment laundering. I believe every pile of laundry deserves a prominent place in the household whether that be a couch or a dining room table so it can feel loved and grow strong. Dressers and closets are for secrets, not my laundry children.

This new basket of laundry was born after a long but rewarding labor. While it initially took on a slight odor that my oldest daughter called "marsh swamp" due to sitting in the washer for longer than it should have, a quick rewash with overpriced oxygen powder (whatever that even is) proved sufficient. I'd by lying if I said it smelled 100% fresh, but I love all my children, even the funky ones.

The end of labor was the hardest. My new laundry spent a few days in the dryer before being ready to join the family but we visited often and couldn't be happier to have it home now.

As you can see, there is a laundry sibling behind this one in the photo. I'm confident that these two will be the best of friends and feel no rivalry whatsoever.

My human children have already begun picking through their new laundry step-sibling for underwear and I can honestly say my heart is full. I am grateful and blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

Please feel free to come by to say hello to my new baby. It's sensitive, so no extended holding or smelling will be allowed. You have germs. Bringing a casserole and/or any bottom shelf rum would also be appreciated as I'm still healing from labor and am too tired to cook. I'll also take cash if that would be easier.

If you bring a gift for the laundry, please remember to bring something small for the laundry sibling (a dryer sheet, spritz of febreeze).

Ok, I'm going to take a much-needed rest. I'll be posting side by side pre-baby and flawless post-baby photos of my abdomen shortly, not to hurt you, but yes to hurt you.

I love you, new laundry. I'm looking forward to seeing you in my living room forever. Love, your Mommy

Mazel! Enjoy these moments. They grow smelly so fast.

Katy Perry just tweeted a gif that HAS to be a response to Calvin Harris's tweetstorm about Taylor Swift.

The most delightful part of producer Calvin Harris's delightful takedown of his ex Taylor Swift on Twitter today was the confirmation that Swift "tried to bury" someone named "Katy." Most people swiftly concluded that Harris was referring to pop star Katy Perry, about whom Taylor allegedly wrote the poppy dis track "Bad Blood." Well, Perry (probably) just responded, in a somewhat oblique way.

OOOOOOOoooohhhh. She also retweeted this:

On May 9, 2015, the first time Perry tweeted that, "Bad Blood" was just about to be released as a single.

What does Hillary Clinton have to do with this? Well, Perry happens to be one of the most vocal celebrity supporters of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president:

🎂Happy Birthday🎂 to our next great leader @hillaryclinton !!! This past weekend, I was honored to be able to sit down with Maya Harris, one of HRC's senior policy (aka plans for the future) advisors before joining the stage with Hillary the next day. I wanted to be more informed and educated on her plans and dreams for our country. I never want to be a puppet, and always want to feel my own purpose and ownership in everything I do. Maya and I, and some of my closest girlfriends, had the most incredible, eye-opening 3 hours of conversation about the future. We went over so many points and asked the hard questions on everything from gun control to birth control to health care to affordable education to a realistic approach in finding the middle class again. I was never raised with economic privilege and found money to be the main source of pain for my own family growing up, so I understand why there is a need for such change. I am still learning and educating myself on the world of politics and searching for every strand of authenticity buried deep in it. What I heard and experienced this weekend empowers me to believe that real change is possible and on the way! Ladies! There are so many incredible opportunities for us that are possible: equal pay, paid leave (you don't lose your job if you want to have a family) and YOUR choice to have a family when and if it's RIGHT FOR YOU! These are just some of the reasons I am standing with her and will continue to do so. Next year's election is one of the most important ones in decades, and the choices we make will have a profound effect on women for years to come. So, I stand with her for my daughters and their daughters, and beyond what time gives me. Get informed, get involved and become empowered! Strong women help create strong families! ❤️ See link in bio for 📷 from the weekend👗 by @bcompleted

As celebrity expert/former Jezebel editor Erin Gloria Ryan points out, there might be some gossip-worthy strategizing surrounding Perry's relationship with Clinton:

This story continues to be the greatest part of my week.

Woman lets Jesus take the wheel, is disappointed by the results.

According to the NFW Daily News, 28-year-old Mary Ester was driving down a road in Fort Walton Beach, FL, on July 7 when she failed to observe a stop sign, drove through an intersection, and plowed into the wall of someone's home. When the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office questioned her about the accident, she told them her eyes had been closed during the whole event because she was praying.

She quite literally "let go and let God," and God reminded her that He steers those who steer themselves. She tried to back out (no word on whether her eyes were open then) but was stuck in sandy soil.

This has to stop being a phrase until people learn what metaphors are.

Question 1: It's possible to pray with your eyes open, right?

Question 2: What was she praying for? An excuse to buy a new car?

She was cited for reckless driving with property damage, but, thank god, neither she nor anyone in the house was injured. It's a miracle!

Jesus could walk on water, but apparently isn't so great at driving on lawns. At least this isn't another story about a terrible woman driver, right?

The actress who played Lyanna Stark mysteriously reveals she had dialogue that didn't make the show.

Game of Thrones spoilers below, of course.

In the Tower of Joy flashback scene between Ned and his sister, Lyanna, the woman dying from childbirth whispers something urgent to her brother. Because HBOwasn't shy about confirming Jon Snow's true parentage in the days after the finale, Redditors fiending for next season have been intensely speculating, instead, that the obscured whisper had to do with Jon's real name.

Others speculated that the actors mimed that part of the scene, likely so no one could leak any crucial secrets.

"You guys mind speaking up a little or...?"

But in a new interview with actress Aisling Franciosi, entertainment.ie got the woman who plays Lyanna Stark to admit she said something important, or maybe not-so important, but she definitely said something. And that's exciting enough, right?

Yeah I did whisper an actual sentence. I don't know what they're going to do going forward and I don't know what importance it has so I'm definitely not going to risk saying anything.

That wouldn't come as a surprise to Redditor Sparkledavisjr, who watched the "scene about a dozen fifty times at least" and wrote a compelling theory that Lyanna said "Jaehaerys."

For now, Franciosi is keeping any secrets locked up tighter than Rhaegar's harp in the crypts of Winterfell.

But look forward to some sort of Lyanna-related reveal next season—whether it's Jon's real name or just that she could see Bran standing there, staring, really creeping her out.

ASOS didn't make anyone happy with how it portrayed a photo of a size-16 lady.

ASOS called size 16 model Naomi Shimada "plus-sized" in an Instagram post showing the model wearing one of their dresses—only to later remove the label "plus-sized" when commenters complained. They suggested that she should just be referred to as "a model," with no qualifier. "She's normal sized," one commenter said. "Why are you calling her plus sized?! So rude!" said another person. Here is the Instagram post in question:

Indeed, Shimada looks quite slender in that image, but so do many people who are a size 16. In the fashion industry, plus-sized models are size 8 and up, though, to many people, that obviously sounds crazy. Even Hollywood is not as restrictive as the fashion industry—very skinny woman Bryce Dallas Howard notably told reporters she's a size 6.

But after ASOS removed the "plus sized" descriptor from the post, many activists expressed frustration with the brand for buying into the idea that "plus-size" was an insult.

Gee, it's almost as if the internet will freak out over anything.

Samuel L. Jackson has lent his famous voice and signature cuss-laden style to help recap the first five seasons of Game of Thrones for new fans that might start watching the show. Jackson, of course, is known for many roles, including Pulp Fiction and Snakes on a Plane. In the spirit of bringing new fans to the show, there are not large spoilers in his recap, but devoted fans of the show will also love hearing his summary.

Social media is having a #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty in response to the Swift/Harris/Perry feud.

This morning, music person Calvin Harris unleashed a Twitter tirade on his ex-girlfriend, more-famous music person Taylor Swift. Why? News broke that it was Swift, not Harris, who actually wrote the lyrics for Harris's newest hit, "This Is What You Came For (ft. Rihanna)." Harris didn't mind giving Swift credit, saying she wanted to stay anonymous when they were together. He did not like, however, the feeling that her "team" was trying to make him look like a thief. It escalated from there.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter took this news and ran with it. Not only did Katy Perry subtly respond, but the hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty began trending worldwide. What is it about celebrity feuds that brings out the best of the internet? Here are 21 of the funniest tweets about their fight.

Are you gross enough to watch these people get real bugs removed from their ears?

Before you go any further: are you sure you're up to this? Sure, you've been training all summer by watching people have pimples other growths popped from every part of the body. But it's all been building up to this: the ability to withstand watching 12 people having actual (usually live) bugs removed from their ears canals. What's that? Bring it on? You asked for it. Enjoy!

1. This centipede getting flushed out from a young Iranian boy's ear.

There, that wasn't so bad, right? (Yes, yes it was.)

2. What's one centipede next to a LOT of carpenter ants infesting 12-year-old Shreya Darji's ear in Gujarat, India.

OMFTDG. Apparently, they first tried drowning the ants. Unfortunately, they couldn't get the queen, who was safe inside this girl's head. Not to worry, though, the doctors claimed, “the big ants must be biting her, but the girl did not feel pain inside her ears. Besides, there was no damage inside her ear.” Oh, well, no nightmares then!

3. More centipede.

This centipede made its home in the ear of Grant Botti, 14, who pulled the 4" monster out by himself. Apparently, it was just probing the outside when he woke up, but latched on when he grabbed it.

4. Here's another critter evicted via antiseptic flooding. Guess what comes out?

It would be scary to find this in your bathroom, let alone in a potential pathway to your brain. You're doing great. Keep going.

Time for a break. Let's pull something out of a nose instead.

She named him "Mr. Curly"

24-year-old Daniela Liverani from Edinburgh was taking a shower when she felt something twitching in her sinuses. Daniela had been having nosebleeds, which she chalked up to a blood clot following a motorcycle accident. But when she looked up her nose in the mirror, she discovered "Mr. Curly," a 3-inch leech. She somehow stayed calm enough to go to the emergency room instead of simply dying on the spot from shock. They had to yank him out with nasal forceps. She's fine, but sadly, "Mr. Curly" is dead.

5. Back to ears, how about a dead beetle?

When this dude felt a bug crawl into his head, he poured saltwater in after it and assumed it crawled back out. PSA: NEVER JUST ASSUME A BUG HAS LEFT YOUR EAR. He lived with that creature in there for a whole month until its dead body caused a secondary infection. What you see being pulled out is both the dead bug and a month's worth of infection debris. In a way, that bug is like most of us: whenever you move out of a place, it always feels like you're leaving with more than you came in with.

6. Even more live centipede!

What can we say? They love human ear homes.

7. Grab a ginger ale before this one, a motherfucking cricket BEHIND a wall of earwax. It's a barfy two-fer.

TFW you want to get a cricket out of your ear but the doctor can't pull it out until he removes a putrefying ball of wax. We've all been there. The earwax comes out just before the 4 min mark. The cricket comes out after. ALIVE. How did it get in there? How did it stay alive? What does the fact that you watched the whole thing say about you as a person?

8. This man reacts appropriately when a "fuckin' moth" flies in his "fuckin' ear."

"This is fucked up, dude. I can hear him fuckin' fluttering in my head." Instead of going to the doctor, these dudes just grab some tweezers and fish the damn thing out themselves. They snatch the winged bugger just after the 3:30 mark.

9. June bug "makes it around the corner" of scared guy's ear.

A June bug flies into this dude's ear during a poker game, and he (appropriately) freaks the eff out like he hasn't just seen eight other ear bug videos in a row. He goes to the ER, but they couldn't help and he had to wait a whole weekend before getting to see a specialist, who quickly removes it at around the 2:00 mark. It's an important lesson: if you're going to get a bug in your ear, do it on a Monday.

10. A fly made a little ear nest and laid some eggs right in thurr.

Hard to say what's more remarkable about this incident: that a fly managed to lay a butt load of eggs in a man's ear in only one hour, or that the extraction video was set to Mozart.

11. Ant + eggs = another disgusting video.

This dude lived in pain as an ant bit his eardrum, but he eventually got revenge by killing it with tobacco leaf water. He went to the doctor to get the critter removed, and they found some nice little eggs in there too. Of note: this is definitely the most translucent eardrum we've seen so far, we can almost see his anguished brain!

12. And finally, a big ass roach inside the ear of a tiny girl.

The roach flew into her ear while she was doing some late night studying. Apparently, this girl has some ear problems and sinusitis, which causes "diffuse otitis externa," which in turn produces a smell that attracts insects looking to lay eggs. Keep those ears squeaky clean, people.

You did it! You made it all the way to the end!

As your reward, here is a bonus video of an in-ear fungus infestation. Is fungus a bug? No.

Notice how the hearing doctor speaks so softly? Its like you're dreaming in a cocoon that has been created inside the ear of a terribly unlucky person.

8 future movie stars who got their start as extras in old movies.

$

The thing that really stinks about being an actor is that the people in charge of movies don't let you be a star right away. (Even if you ask the director real nicely and tell them how good-looking and talented you are.) Hollywood prefers its actors to work their way up, which can mean starting at the very, very, very bottom of the ladder: being an extra. Here are some famous people who took this path and really did become stars of other movies later on.

1. Brad Pitt, No Way Out.

Look out, behind you: Your replacement in America's hearts!

While your mom was getting her hunk on in 1987 with the latest Kevin Costner thriller, future hunk Brad Pitt was lurking in the background, keenly sticking himself into the world's subconscious. (Did it work? Well, four years later, he'd get his first major speaking role in Thelma & Louise.)


2. Renee Zellweger, Dazed and Confused.

Not Joey Lauren Adams.

Zellwegger auditioned for one of the main high school student roles in Richard Linklater's movie, which was filmed in Texas. She didn't get it, but the crew liked her enough to cast her in the non-speaking role of "Nesi White"—a character never named or listed in the credits. As part of the posse of mean girls, Zellweger is visible in two scenes: setting up a beer bong for Parker Posey's character at the Moon Tower party, and hazing freshmen.


3. Alexis Bledel, Rushmore.

Rory is always in school.

A couple of years before she got her big break as Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls, Bledel's first part was as a high school student in Wes Anderson's second movie, which was filmed in Bledel's hometown of Houston.


4. Bruce Willis, The Verdict.

Acting with as much emotion as the meteor in Armageddon.

When Paul Newman gives his final big speech in this Oscar-nominated courtroom drama from 1982, a dude with a mullet looks on respectfully from the third row of the gallery, deeply moved. That man is future Hudson Hawk star Bruce Willis.


5. Charlize Theron, Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest.

Well, she's no Jim Metzler or Nancy Grahn. (They're the stars of that movie.)

She doesn't speak in this weird supernatural horror movie from 1995, but the camera lingers on her for a couple of seconds because she looks like Charlize Theron.


6. Doug Benson, Blade Runner.

Hey, everybody…

He's talked about it on his Doug Loves Movies podcast multiple times, but when this comedian/marijuana enthusiast was just out of high school, he loved movies so much that he moved to L.A. and found work as an extra. He's a dancer in Disneyland's Michael JacksonCaptain Eo movie, and he plays a futuristic soldier type guy in Blade Runner.


7. Ron Jeremy, Ghostbusters.

These ghosts are going to make him late for his pizza delivery, pool cleaning, appliance repair job.

Did you know that there was another movie about Ghostbusters back in 1984 before the new one, and that it was also called Ghostbusters? It follows a similar plot, in which Ghostbusters bust ghosts. At a pivotal point in the movie, some of the ghosts don't get busted and get loose, and the people of the New York get scared, because ghosts are scary. One of those people is porn legend Ron Jeremy.


8. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Breakin'.

The bloodiest of all bloodsports is dance.

Before there was eternal punchline movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, there was Breakin', the first entry in the breakdance movie saga. Spoiler: There's a lot of breakdancing in Breakin'. Another spoiler: future martial arts movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme is in Breakin', and gosh does he love it.

Comedian Nikki Glaser roasted college campuses for all the ways they fail rape victims.

Comedian Nikki Glaser's show Not Safeis not only hilarious, but doesn't shy away from tackling tough issues that are usually not discussed on television—let alone on Comedy Central. On a recent episode, Glaser interviews Brenda Tracy, a woman who was gang raped in 1998 but whose case was swept under the rug to protect the male athletes who assaulted her. Glaser goes on to roast college campuses who value student athletes over the safety of rape victims by using ostriches (it sounds weird, but it works), and demands change in the way colleges and universities handle rape cases all together.

After discovering that her rape case was hidden so Oregon State could raise money for a new football stadium, Tracy decided to take a stand against colleges who protect their athletes at the expense of rape victims. The conversation about rape has changed a lot since 1998, and Tracy now feels like she is positioned to take on the corrupt system that wronged her 18 years ago.

A visual aid for those who still don't get it.

At one point, Glaser asks Tracy how women can avoid getting raped, and Tracy responds with "not be any place where a rapist is." She goes on to say, "This is not a women’s issue, this is a men’s issue. Men carry out 98% of all rape. Stop telling me how to not get raped." You can watch Nikki's full interview with Brenda Tracy here.

One of Tracy's sons, Darius Adams, started an online petition asking the NCAA to ban violent athletes. You can sign it here.

Wearing a gold-sequined gown and carrying a single red rose, JoJo from The Bachelorette (aka comedian Kristen Wiig) appeared on The Tonight Show Wednesday. Wiig came on the show to promote her new movie Ghostbusters, and seemed to know a lot less about the television program The Bachelorette. Previously, she's come on the show as Peyton Manning and Harry Styles. In typical Kristen Wiig form, she constantly seems like she's about to break and start laughing, but that just makes her more charming.

7 reasons Taylor Swift is a mean girl.

$
0
0

As of July 13th, 2016 at 12:08 PM, when jilted lover Calvin "Adam Wiles" Harris went nuclear on Twitter, the long-rumored feud between mean girl Taylor Swift and Katy Perry was confirmed. According to Harris, Swift is the Queen Bee, and Perry is the victim.

This declaration has been years in the making. In a thinly veiled swipe at Swift in 2014, Perry herself tweeted a Mean Girls reference on the day that Swift's Rolling Stone profile came out.

Using Janis Ian's (the character, not the singer) triangulation of what makes Regina George so damn powerful as a jumping off point, it is clear to see that Swift is a modern mean girl. Here are 7 reasons why.

1. The men ("Aaron Samuels").

While Swift cycling through boyfriends makes for great lyrics, she leaves a constant stream of broken hearts in her wake.

2. "Hot bod."

An important feature in every Queen Bee's arsenal, which makes you want to either stress-eat or feed her Kalteen bars.

3. The squad ("Army of skanks").

🎉

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

One look at Swift's army of models, and it's clear that this crew is as plastic as it gets. They're blindingly white with painfully perfect bods, and most of them GET PAID to be beautiful. Janis might go as far as to call them an "army of skanks," but everyone can see that they're Plastics.

4. According to Calvin Harris, she tears down people for fun.

Taylor Swift could have continued to have a successful career without claiming credit for the Harris/Rihanna song "This Is What You Came For," which is actually a pretty bad song. Though Harris would admittedly be biased on the matter, it seems very plausible, and something one Regina George did for sport.

5. The publicity machine.

Regina George was only powerful because people enabled her to be. The legend of Regina George was way more powerful than any individual human could be. Swift has her public relations down to a science, which even has people convinced that her latest relationship is fake.

6. The lies.

Something about Swift's aggressively sweet image just reeks of insincerity. You could just tell that she pulls tricks like Regina George's fake compliments, telling Karlie Kloss she likes her haircuts, only to add, "Boo you whore." Or, you know, give "sweet compliments" on Twitter to cover her tracks as a secret meanie.

7. The fights.

Perhaps the biggest piece of evidence of them all. Tina Fey's character Ms. Norbury talked about how feuds between women are particularly destructive, because it gives men the impression that they're free to do the same. Swift's years-long animosity with Katy Perry is the prime example, but even more egregious was Swift making Nicki Minaj's call out of racism at the VMAs about herself.

Taylor, basically.

Fans saw right through her pop feminism, insisting that she use her platform for good and hold herself to a higher standard.

Swift is so quick to interpret things as slights against her that trying to avoid fights ironically makes them happen.

An analysis of Regina George's axis of power makes it easy to see that Swift is the real-life version of the fictional character.

Hey Taylor:

Honest living.
