Confession

Reality Star Jon Gosselin is now a cook at T.G.I. Friday's.

Jon Gosselin of Jon and Kate Plus 8 has a new gig that is a bit different from being the star of a huge reality TV show. According to US Weekly, a "passion for cooking" has landed the father of eight a job as a cook at a T.G.I. Friday's in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Only me!!! No words!!! Hahaha

A photo posted by Jon Gosselin (@jongosselin1) on

Gosselin, who says he primarily works as a DJ, disclosed that he works at the restaurant for about eight hours a week "just for fun", and insists he doesn't need the extra cash. "I don’t need the money… DJ-ing is still my real job." He also told US Weekly that DJing is "going amazing" and that he donates his checks from T.G.I. Friday's to charity. Oh by the way, a place where Gosselin often DJ's is T.G.I. Friday's.

Party #2 Finish Line Pub 10-2 reunion gig!!! Where my DJ career started

A photo posted by Jon Gosselin (@jongosselin1) on

When asked if any of his eight children have ever come to visit him on the job, he responded, “I don’t want to mix that. I’m trying to make their lives as normal as possible.”

I mean, eating at a T.G.I. Friday's is pretty much as normal as it gets. If you wanted to keep their lives as normal as possible, you probably shouldn't have turned their childhoods into a reality television show and publicly divorced their mother as cheating allegations surfaced in the tabloids, but okay.

Someone built a mini-wall around Trump's Hollywood Star.

Someone erected a miniature wall around Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, referencing the Republican nominee's now famous proposition to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico. No word yet on if Mexico paid for it.

The wall, which stands about 6", comes complete with tiny "keep out" signs and is topped with barbed wire. It has been sitting around the "plain star" that Trump earned for being a TV personality since early Tuesday afternoon.

Supposedly the wall was created by well-known LA street artist Plastic Jesus. Although Plastic Jesus did not explicitly admit to creating the wall, he did upload a picture of a crowd of tourists admiring the wall on Instagram. He also is known for making a lot anti-Trump paraphernalia.

Hollywood sight-seers on the famous walk of fame were confronted with an unusual addition to Trump’s Famous Star. Someone had built a 6" tall grey concrete wall around it. Complete with "Keep out" signs and topped with razor wire. The unofficial addtion to the iconic star appeared early Tuesday afternoon, to the amusement of onlookers.

Or maybe Trump made the wall himself. After all, it is on scale with his tiny hands.

Donald Trump's air kiss to Mike Pence was awkward af.

Michelle Obama doing Carpool Karaoke is as lovable as you'd imagine.

Michelle Obama joined James Corden in his SUV for a carpool karaoke session, proving for the millionth time that she isn't just the First Lady of the US, she's the First Person of our hearts. She and Corden jammed out to classics from Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé, all while circling the White House lawn, because it would literally be a security risk for them to go anywhere. Then Missy Elliott dropped in for a special cameo, making their Squad complete.

All in all, it seems like the three had a genuinely fun day. And most importantly, nobody was tackled by Secret Service.

Comedian tries to buy a doormat from Amazon and gets this instead.

Comedian Emily Heller made a purchase on Amazon.com for what seemed by all accounts to be an actual doormat. What she received from the online superstore, was, in her words, "a piece of foam with a photo of the thing I wanted printed on it."

Heller took a look at the reviews, and it turns out the doormat did actually exist, in non-foam form. But it still got a bunch of one-star reviews, so maybe the foam was a better option.

But still wanting an actual functional doormat, Heller asked for a refund, and got a response that was basically the email version of the item she received. SORT OF like an email, but when you look closely, it's missing a few key things, like coherency.

Heller also shared a reply she got from a stranger on Twitter, accusing her of purposely ordering the wrong item just to make a tweet go viral. Because the internet is nothing if not a breeding ground for conspiracy theories.

And yes, Heller's tweet did go viral. It's been retweeted over 8,000 times since she posted it on July 20. Good luck to Heller in her goal of acquiring a real doormat. It's the little things in the life that matter.


Hillary Clinton pulls a Kim Kardashian and outs Chris Christie as a liar on Snapchat.

Hillary Clinton pulled a Kim Kardashian (don't worry, it's not a naked selfie—yet) by posting a video on Snapchat that shows Chris Christie contradicting himself. The Augustus Gloop in charge of New Jersey gave a fiery speech at the RNC calling for Hillary to be jailed and leading a chant of "Lock her up!"

Well, much like how Taylor Swift was privately chill with Kanye over "Famous," Christie physically embraced Hillary in a way that would make Kanye rap "I think Christie and Hillary still might have sex."

Christie certainly does not interact with Hillary as if he believes her to be guilty of a litany of crimes, thinks her persona is "a sham," and thinks she's an Al Qaeda apologist.

Sure, a hug is not as explosive as Taylor Swift approving the lyric. But of milking fury and going crazy with hyperbole at the RNC: is Christie guilty or not guilty?

The Clinton campaign taking a page from Kim Kardashian's book: this is politics now.

The best responses to Ted Cruz being booed off the RNC stage for refusing to endorse Trump.

0
0

The three-ring circus that is the 2016 Republican National Convention nearly imploded Wednesday night when former presidential candidate/World's Most Punchable Face mug owner Ted Cruz made the bold decision not to endorse Donald Trump for president, and was subsequently booed off the stage.

It's the first time in history the RNC was a "Boos Cruz," just not on a boat. Trump fans were irate, but the Twitterati had a blast.

Thursday night is the final night of the convention, and it will be exciting to see what the GOP has in store. Seems like there's no way the sheer entertainment value of last night could be topped, but who knows. Maybe somebody will jump out of a cake (please let it be George Bush. Please).

Woman assumes Muslim passenger on her flight is a terrorist and now they're friends.

0

On Sunday, a U.K. woman named Jiva Akbor wrote a Facebook post about being mistaken for a terrorist on an airplane, but unlike most stories that start that way, this one has a happy ending. Akbor, who is Muslim, was on a flight waiting to depart from Scotland to Spain and texting with a friend, when the woman next to her, whom she later learned was named Beverley, abruptly left her seat. Apparently Beverley became very alarmed when she saw the word "Allah" in the text.

Akbor was texting friends from a Muslim group she belongs to, because a car belonging to their organization had been burglarized. Her full text read "HasbiAllahu la ilaaha illaahu alayhi tawakaltu may Allah make the day easy for you all!" It was enough to make Beverley panic. She returned to her seat with two flight attendants and an absolutely terrified face:

A few moments later she returned and so I got up again and waited for her to take her seat. Only I looked at her face and she was in sheer panic, clearly flustered and didn’t get into the seat immediately.

Akbor was confused at first, but then realized what was happening:

At that moment she looked at me and said, ‘I saw you write a text message and you wrote Allah on it’.

My heart stopped. And I thought Oh Ma Goddd.

After Beverley sat down again, Akbor spent the next several minutes calming her down and getting to know her. It turns out they had a bunch in common: they both grew up in England, have kids, and are women of faith. After a while, it was clear that Beverley regretted her original reaction:

Before too long I could see remorse in her tone, I think she was shocked at her own reaction and the realization of what she had thought of me was setting in. In her own words she said ‘it’s so scary what the media can make us think’ and ‘I just panicked’.

Besties after 15 minutes.

Akbor's Facebook post has gone viral for its uplifting message, with almost 8,000 likes and almost 8,000 shares in less than four days on Facebook.

It was smart and thoughtful of Akbor to share her post. If these two can get along on a plane, anyone should be able to tolerate sitting next to a chatty person with a boring job or a snorer.

'SNL' took Weekend Update to the RNC, and Kate McKinnon brought the Ginsburns.

SNL​'s Weekend Update headed to Ohio to do a special edition Live from Cleveland on Wednesday Night. Hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che delivered their takes on the big speeches, from Rudy Giuliani's screaming to Chris Christie's screaming to Melania Trump's plagiarizing. To infuse some much-needed sensuality into the arena, Jost and Che welcomed Kate McKinnon's Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Merrick Garland isn't the only one getting antsy for his confirmation.

Che then took on the latest craze, turning Pokémon Go into a journey to find real, live minorities at the Republican convention, and it's tougher than trying to find a Zubat. Not only is it tough to find Trumpémon, but Trumpémon never evolves.

The anchors took to the streets to see if any Republicans could identify their vice presidential candidates. If only Ted Danson were on the ticket.

Watch the full thing here:

This guy shelled out $3.7 million to have sex with Megan Fox and is shocked that it was a scam.

0

In news that comes as a shock to absolutely no one (except the person this story is about), Megan Fox does not have sex for money. A Chinese businessman named Yu "Martin" Xu recently paid $3.7 million to an Australian escort service in exchange for what he thought would be "sexual services" (gross) from not only Megan, but also Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, and Chinese actress Angelababy. Totally not a scam to get this very wealthy man to shell out $3.7 million, right?

Wrong. Shockingly, Megan Fox did not show up. Neither did either of the other A-listers he was promised a night of sexy time with.

Our dear friend Mr. Xu was distraught and appalled to discover that he had been scammed, and that these very successful and famous celebrities were not, in fact, employed by an escort service. He was so distraught and appalled, in fact, that he has filed a lawsuit against the agency in NSW Supreme Court. We'll see how that works out for him.

Brooklyn Beckham wisely deleted an Instagram to support Chloë Grace Moretz in her feud against Khloe.

Brooklyn Beckham deleted an Instagram of himself wearing clothing from Kanye's fashion line after his followers reminded him the Kardashians are feuding with his girlfriend, Chloë Grace Moretz. The picture featured him wearing a t-shirt from Kanye's Life of Pablo line. That's a problem because Chloë Grace Moretz and Khloé Kardashian had a huge fight on Twitter over the huge feud between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift.

That fight got a little cheeky when Khloé Kardashian tweeted out an alleged pic of Chloë Grace Moretz's butt falling out of a bikini (it turns out it was not her, though no one has stepped forward to claim that behind). Therefore, to be in solidarity with his girlfriend and Instagram followers, Beckham deleted the picture of himself in a Kanye t-shirt.

In conclusion: Brooklyn can't wear a shirt, because Khloé tweeted a butt, because Chloë ​tweeted some shade, because Kim posted a snap, because Taylor got mad because Kanye recorded a phone call.


Fun restaurant photo poses disturbing question: would people eat Pokémon?

0
0

On Reddit Wednesday morning, there was a photo apparently uploaded to Facebook by a restaurant taking the Pokémon Go craze and incorporating it into their recipes.

The comments section immediately turned to the question, if Pokémon were real, would people eat them?

According to Reddit comments: yes. "I just always assumed there were non fighting animals that served the whole purpose of being food," said one.

According to food magazine Modern Farmer, it's not just real life humans who would consider eating them. "Simply put, it is a fact that people eat Pokémon," in the show and game universe, they write in an article called "The Food Politics of Pokémon."

A sadly tasty Slowpoke.

Summarizing Modern Farmer, gaming site Polygon cites evidence like "the hunting of Farfetch'd to near-extinction" in the original TV show, as well as the fact that in the second generation games, "the tail of the dim-witted Slowpoke is a rare, highly valued commodity because it is 'tasty' and 'nutritious.'"

At one point, Ash and Brock drool over the idea of feasting on a Magikarp.

Then there's the 2013 Pokémon game Poké​mon X/Poké​mon Y, when the Le Yeah restaurant serves "a braciole of fresh, Azure Bay Slowpoke tail"—a description which you will have to admit made your mouth water.

In the end, the Modern Farmer article comes to the conclusion that eating Pokémon is just like eating animals: it's ethically subjective. You might eat a Petilil, but you'd never plate a Pikachu.

Unless you're some sort of Team Rocket monster.

10 Disney animals who made us confused about what species we are attracted to.

0
0

Growing up watching Disney movies, it was only natural to develop crushes on animated characters, with their Barbie and Ken-like proportions and huge, bottomless eyes. This was confusing enough for our young selves as we were just beginning to develop romantic feelings and a sense of our sexual identities. But it was even more confusing when the objects of our crushes weren't even human. Here are a few non-human Disney characters who made us particularly bewildered about what species we are actually attracted to.

1. Simba (The Lion King)

No one showcased the glories of puberty like Simba, who transforms from adorable little heir to the animal kingdom to this glorious hunk of lion:

Roar, indeed.

Just look at that mane. That chiseled jaw line. As if being a young tween with a blossoming libido wasn't confusing enough.

Sigh. Nala was such a lucky lioness, and pretty fine herself. Can you feel the love tonight? Because we could feel it. And it felt...confusing.

2. Pongo (100 Dalmations)

Pongo may be everyone's first DILF. Which was exciting and uncomfortable on so many levels.

He's not just a dad; he's a great dad, risking everything for his family. And those spots are oddly alluring. They suggest "I'm cute and I could help put out fires." Species are just a construct, right?? Because Pongo could get it.

3. Lady and 4. The Tramp (Lady and the Tramp)

Speaking of dogs who can get it: the Tramp might have been the original bad boy. I mean, his name is Tramp. He's basically every guy we fell in love with right after college when we were still "finding ourself."

Ugh, what a stud. Look at that rugged face.

Woooooooof.

And, also like the guy we dated after college, he wears a dog tag. He's also very much off the market (hot!), thanks to the allure of this sexy lady-dog, Lady.

Bow chicka wowwww.

Sorry Brangelina, Lady and the Tramp—Lamp?—were the celebrity couple that first made us think "hmm, maybe polygamy could be fun?" Who wouldn't want to move to Utah to co-habitate with this canine duo? Society can't tell us who to love!

5. Ariel (The Little Mermaid)

Spoiler alert! Ariel gets her legs at the end of the movie, but we felt the most confusing things for this mermaid when she still had fins. Just look at that hair. Those seashells. It was all very erotic and confusing. "Am I gay? Straight?" we wondered. "Bisexual? Into fish?"

We all want more Ariel.

By the end of this movie, we were all: Excuse me Ursula, but what do I have to give up to get some fins so I can live happily underwater with this aquatic Princess? My voice? My dignity? My twenty thingamabobs? Name a price, they're all yours.

6. Robin Hood (Robin Hood)

This sexy renegade is literally a fox. But also, he's a fox.

He occupied our hearts.

He has looks and charm for miles, and lives by no rules. He's basically a forest-dwelling Don Draper, but with Bernie Sanders' beliefs. He steals from the rich to give to the poor, and he stole 99% of our hearts.

Plus, he never let his philanthropic pursuits waylay him from his ultimate pursuit of love. He catapulted our young libidos into complete and total chaos.

7. Rajah (Aladdin)

Sure, Jasmine friend zones him from the beginning. But she doesn't see what we saw: her pet tiger Rajah has sex appeal. Maybe it's that cantankerous demeanor hiding a heart of pure gold. Maybe it's his fierce protectiveness of his BFF Jasmine. Maybe it's those sexy older man vibes, or those pronounced eyebrow bones.

Whatever it is, it's undeniable: Raja growled and clawed his way into our young hearts. And now we will never not feel a little bit awkward at the zoo.

9. Roxanne (A Goofy Movie)

Goofy's son, Max, is hopelessly in love with Roxanne, and it's pretty obvious why. Like Goofy and Max, no one knows exactly what Roxanne is. A dog? A mouse? A dog-mouse? Her species may be difficult to define, and so was our love for her. Because yowzah.

She's like a young Jessica Rabbit, only marginally less human, and equally NSFW. Roxanne gazed into our eyes and now we can never look at dogs, or mice, the same.

9. Lumiere (Beauty and the Beast)

He's technically not an animal. But this French candelabra still threw our young sexual identities into disarray.

He's just so.... French.

Lumiere is the Beast's sweet and well-meaning, yet rebellious, maître d', who was transformed into a candlestick by the same curse that turned the prince into The Beast. As far as curses go, let's be honest, both those guys are way sexier in their non-human forms.

Of course, The Beast is the crowning hunk of this movie. But Lumiere is his sexy little sidekick who set us on fire with his charisma and wit, making us feel a little tingle now every time we walk through the candlestick section at CVS.

10. The Beast (Beauty and the Beast)

And finally, the "man" of the hour: the Beast. His name alone makes us quiver in nostalgia and cringe with discomfort. Like Belle's, our love for him felt wrong, and yet, it felt so right. Knowing what we know now, the whole scenario is creepy and Stockholm syndrome-esque.

And yet, he was so, so, so sexy.

So wrong, but so right.

"It's not his fault," we told ourselves. "He was under a curse." And just like him, we were cursed: by our attraction to him. Because we know, underneath it all, he's good. He can change. He'll get a job. He'll shave. For us. He'll change, for us.

Not only was this crush confusing, but it was responsible for every bad relationship we've ever had. And yet, we just can't get enough of that scruff.

Anne Hathaway wrote a very sweet tribute to Garry Marshall, who made her a princess.

Renowned director Garry Marshall sadly passed away Tuesday at the age of 81. The creator of iconic TV shows including Happy Days and Mork and Mindy, and director of films including Pretty Woman and Beaches, Marshall gave Anne Hathaway her breakout role in The Princess Diaries.

Anne Hathaway paid tribute to her director and friend, with a sweet throwback picture, and her memories of just how muchhe changed her life.

I couldn’t sleep last night. The moon was too bright and my heart was too full of fresh grief at Garry’s passing. I went...

Posted by Anne Hathaway on Wednesday, July 20, 2016

She mourned with Heather Matarrazzo, who played her best friend in the film, sharing memories of Marshall and reflecting on how he was "goodness itself."

I couldn’t sleep last night.
The moon was too bright and my heart was too full of fresh grief at Garry’s passing.
I went outside and sat in the absurd blue-white bath of moon, surprised to see my night shadow,
I thought, “Garry left on a good night.”
This morning, I got a text from Heather Matarrazzo saying “Of course Garry left on a full moon.”
If you know Garry, that he went out when there should be darkness and instead there is full, rare, magic light, is too perfect to be coincidence.
It’s so him.

Garry was goodness itself.
He was generous.
He was kind beyond kind.
He was thoughtful and sweet and so funny you would pee yourself a little.
I met him when I was a child who thought she was a grown-up; he treated me with grace and patience and respect and always, always love.
I’m so happy I made three films with him.
I’m so happy he blessed my son in my belly the last time I saw him (we never think it will be the last time).

Before we made the Princess Diaries, he told me “You never know if a movie is going to be a hit or not. The only thing you can control is the memories you make when shooting it. So, let’s make some good memories.”
That advice changed my life even more than the film did.
I wish I could say I practice that perfectly, but I can't.
Garry loved my rough patches too, and forgave them before I even apologized.
He wasn’t interested in judgement or non-plot related conflict.
He just wanted to have fun and laugh and do good work.
He was so, so smart and canny, and yet he lived entirely from his heart.
That’s how he made movies too.
You don’t meet a lot of people that kind of courageous nowadays.
I couldn’t see it when he was right in front of me, but I see him so clearly now that he has moved on- Garry was a Hero.
Not a run-into-a-burning-building-to-save-a-hampster hero per se, but he looked on the bright side of every situation and was unfailingly warm and loving to everyone he met.

How simple. How extraordinary.

Garry: for a kid from the Bronx with weak lungs, you did good.
I’m happy to have known you.
I can never thank you enough for my life.

I’m going to do my best to be just like you.
I love you.
Safe travels, my friend.

Rest in peace, Garry. Thank you for everything.

Jimmy Fallon did the craziest thing imaginable with Ecto Cooler except drink it.

As a kid, you probably remember slurping down multiple juice boxes of Ecto-Cooler, an artificial neon-green colored citrus drink from Hi-C. The beverage, made to promote the Ghostbusters movies, was said to be made with "ghost ectoplasm," which sounded really cool when you were eight, but as a boring ol' adult, it just sounds gross. Now with the new Ghostbusters movie out, Ecto-Coolers have also made their triumphant return, and although you may think you are too mature to drink it, Jimmy Fallon is definitely not too mature to jump into a pool filled with the ghost secretion juice.

Fallon may not be afraid of no ghost, but he should be afraid of having to walk back to 30 Rock so damn sticky. New York City is gross.
