Anyone willing to fall for such a shady website's pitch probably deserves it, but the ever-gracious J.K. Rowling took to Twitter anyway to decry the use of her image to promote a seminar called, "How To Write A Best Seller."

CNN refers to the site's ubiquitous Darren Stephens as a "pitchman," which seems as accurate as anything.

The offer's for a three day seminar that costs a mere $4,997 (unless you catch the "limited offer" of $97—what a deal!), a bargain considering you will learn "the exact system" that made Darren Stephens "$250,000 in just 2 weeks and over $2.5 Million in just 12 months!"

Those kind of numbers are probably familiar to Rowling, which is apparently why she's included in a medley of famous people that Stephens implies have worked with him.

So you definitely won't see Rowling there, but it seems likely you'd run into Homer Simpson. This whole thing reeks of Troy Mcclure​.

This week, the Democratic National Convention included many famous and powerful speakers, including President Barack Obama, former president Bill Clinton, and their omniscient puppet master, actress Meryl Streep. It also, for some reason, featured f*cking a cappella, something that's barely tolerable when 18-year-old girls who aren't good-looking enough to join a sorority do it, let alone famous Hollywood people. Luckily, John Oliver stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night to help his old Daily Show friend out with an updated version of the DNC's "Fight Song."

Anyway, celebrities and politicians are truly insufferable when they work together, aren't they?

Today in "the word 'Feminist' is controversial for some reason," Twitter is engaged in a discussion of what feminism means, because that's a conversation we still need to have, unfortunately. The hashtag #IAmAFeminist began trending on Thursday afternoon, and it's equal parts feminists explaining their feminism and trolls trolling the movement.

Women and men are sharing what the word means to them, and why it matters.

It's pretty simple.

Trolls continue to just not understand what the f it means.

As Caissie St. Onge pointed out, more interesting than learning why people are feminists, it would be illuminating to learn why people are not.

In conclusion:

Stay tuned, as this hashtag is sure to pop up again in a couple of months, and again until the end of time.

Gwen Stefani invited a young fan onstage at her Wednesday night concert in Florida after she read a sign from the boy's mom describing how her son got through the pain of bullying with Stefani's music. It took all of two seconds for Stefani's heart to melt, and she immediately said to the kid "get up here right now!"

It didn't take long for the crowd to help hustle him up to the stage, and a security guard got him to the awaiting embrace of Stefani. From there he was all smiles and tears:

Hopefully he has less trouble with bullies as he gets older. And if times get tough, he can always go to Instagram and watch himself wrapped in Stefani's arms in front of a screaming crowd. Not too shabby.

The artist formerly known as Lil' Bow Wow, Shad Moss, went on a confusing rant on Twitter about why he's not voting in 2016. It makes about as much sense as the 2016 Presidential campaign.

In response to a fan, Shad was basically like, "If we could survive Bush, we can survive anything."

Then he dives into Illuminati Crazy Town territory, with a conspiracy theory that basically implies a select group of famous people control the world.

First comes the hint...

Then the whammy...

This is where things get really weird (which is incredible, because it was already pretty confusing). Twitter user @mfromthesfbay said that Shad should care because of how hard his ancestors fought for the right to vote.

Obviously, disregarding the hundreds of years of struggle during which black people fought to get the right to vote didn't sit well with folks. But Shad confusingly doubled down.

NOTE: Native Americans also struggled for the right to vote. In fact, they weren't granted U.S. citizenship until 1924, because before 1924 the word "native" meant "Well, sure, they were here first, but that doesn't mean they're a citizen."

Shad then went on to describe how white various members of his family are:

Then he posted a picture of his father, just 'cause.

He summed it all up by admitting that he only voted eight years ago because it was the hip thing to do.

So, we think we have this right: Shad Moss a.k.a. Bow Wow isn't voting because he's mixed, the world is ran by the Illuminati, and that it's no longer a hip thing to do.

Dear America, please don't listen to Bow Wow. Kthx!

In June, Public Policy Polling released the results of a poll about Pennsylvanian political preferences. And because politics isn't always a depressing sh*t-show that reminds us about the end of the world, PPP asked a fun question: "Who do you think is more qualified to be President: the Phillie Phanatic, or Donald Trump?" 46% of respondents said the Phanatic, while only 40% said Trump. 14% were undecided, which implies that they were considering the question seriously.

The Phanatic does have some great presidential qualities. He promotes physical fitness:

He's not afraid to get his hands dirty and help with work:

And, just like Trump, he's very good at taunting the opposition:

Of course, it's not going to happen for the Phanatic this year, unless he runs third party. And the Phanatic has more sense than that.

Khizr Khan, the father of Army Captain Humayun Khan—killed by a speeding car bomber after sending his unit and civilians to take cover, posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart —stood by his wife and issued a very direct challenge to Donald Trump. Specifically, to read the Constitution. Social networks lit up immediately afterwards.

Khan began by discussing his belief in the country he immigrated to, and his son's sense of service before turning to the man who has proposed a ban on all Muslim immigration. The other big moments of the evenings came when he told Trump "you have sacrificed nothing" for America and "Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son the best of America.' If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America.

The remark immediately started trending on Twitter, with much of the reaction coming from conservatives wondering why Trump made this moment possible.

Here are Khan's full remarks, as prepared:

Tonight, we are honored to stand here as the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, and as patriotic American Muslims with undivided loyalty to our country.

Like many immigrants, we came to this country empty-handed. We believed in American democracy — that with hard work and the goodness of this country, we could share in and contribute to its blessings.

We were blessed to raise our three sons in a nation where they were free to be themselves and follow their dreams.

Our son, Humayun, had dreams of being a military lawyer. But he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed his life to save his fellow soldiers.

Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son "the best of America."

If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America.

Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership. He vows to build walls and ban us from this country.

Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the U.S. Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words "liberty" and "equal protection of law."

Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery? Go look at the graves of the brave patriots who died defending America — you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities.

You have sacrificed nothing and no one.

We can't solve our problems by building walls and sowing division.

We are Stronger Together.

And we will keep getting stronger when Hillary Clinton becomes our next President.

It was the final day of the Democratic National Convention! Kareem Abdul Jabbar dunked on Donald Trump, a proud father of a slain Muslim veteran brought tears to many eyes, Sherrod Brown and Chelsea Clinton paved the way, and then: The nominee herself! Herstory in the making. Here are the best reactions on social media to this historic night:

When Will Smith enters a room, you freaking notice. The man, on top of being one of the hugest movie stars of all time, knows how to make a damn entrance. Smith appeared on The Tonight Show last night, and entered the stage four separate times, each one being more over-the-top than the last.

The only thing more magical than Will Smith is Will Smith riding a unicorn. If he kept this up, The Tonight Show would have had to rent a jet pack or something.

There's a lot of competition on the Internet, but Ali Kadri, a spokesperson for the Islamic Council of Queensland in Australia, wins the award for Best Way to Handle A Troll. Equal parts charming and educational, Kadri schooled a rando named Joshua and completely outsmarted him, cracking some stellar jokes along the way.

​

And that's how it's done.

Kadri both started a dialogue, and deconstructed how dumb the troll was.

"A lot of people don't know much about Muslims. If I wasn't a Muslim, and all I knew about Muslims and Islam was from the media — I'd be pretty bloody scared of Muslims too," Kadri explained to Mashable Australia, "If a Muslim gets trolled, or responds in an angry way, then that is reinforcing what people think about us — it's not creating a dialogue, right?"

Remember this amazing moment from the DNC?

Not only was it touching and NOT AT ALL AWKWARD, it was also ripe for a Reddit Photoshop Battle. Here are the best 'shops to be posted so far:

1. At a high school dance.

2. A Cialis ad.

3. This love fest that evolved through a collaboration of photo editors.

4. This amazing poster for what needs to become a real movie.

5. This one titled "She's with her."

6. Now He's with Him.

7. This artful hand repositioning.

8. This parallel universe.

9. This... just, this.

10. This one of them getting literal shut-eye.

11. "Making America Freight Again."

12. This one that explains why Hillary has her eyes closed.

13. And finally this beautiful one animated with sound.

May this photo, and its 'shops, last four more years.

When they're not out chopping down trees or strangling bears with their hands, even the manliest of men enjoys getting in touch with his feminine side. A recent AskReddit prompted burly, strong men to share the most "girly" things they like to do. The answers were pretty endearing. Here are some of the best responses.

1. the_weremoose is not ashamed of his floral apron, nor should he be.

I really like cooking.

I know that does not have to be "girly", but a few years ago found myself standing in the kitchen, barefoot, making crème brulee while wearing my little apron.

Meanwhile, my wife was out back drinking beer and refinishing a chest of drawers.

In my defense. We can both refinish furniture, but she makes a terrible crème brulee.

But maybe I should have chosen the blue apron instead of the floral one.

2. I don't know if this makes billbapapa"girly" or just a great dad. Either way, it's adorable.

When my daughter wants to paint my nails or do my hair, whatever that involves, I let her do it.

I'll miss that one day.

3. This was actually a pretty common one. deeeznutzz95 is definitely not the only member of the Sit-To-Pee Club.

I sit to pee at our house. I cannot justify making such a piss spray mess. We barely have to clean the bathroom cuz of my feminization. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.

User nipjelly backed him up.

Currently sitting to pee as i read this thread.

4. "Stitch n' Bitch" parties actually sound pretty amazing. Will you invite me to the next one, palaverofbirds?

I broke my wrist really, really bad back in 2005 (don't worry, this isn't going to be one of those stories, reddit.) When the cast came off I had to do physical therapy. My girlfriend at the time really liked to crochet and knit. I noticed there was a lot of wrist movement to it, and it seemed more interesting than my exercises. So I had my girlfriend teach me to knit. Then she brought me along to her "Stitch n' Bitch" parties, just a group of women and me as an honorary member, drinking wine, knitting and talking shit about boys. It was fun. And my mom got a scarf for her birthday.

5. McDreamy's death was hard on all of us, Kush_Lash_Kush_Lash.

I used to watch Grey's Anatomy. Then they killed McDreamy and I was done with that bullshit.

6. warlock27 has discovered the magical elixir that is coconut oil. You really can use it for everything.

Let's not start on all the things I use coconut oil for.

7. Anansispider refuses to use soap meant for peasants.

I am an absolute snob about buying those homemade , "crafty"soap bars. You know the ones that are supposed to smell like Steel Sage, Ebony Pinderwood, etc.. shit like that. I spend roughly $30 a month on those. I'll be damned if I bathe with plebian Old Spice soap.

8. I respect a man who can rock a sarong, crackhappy.

I wear sarongs to the grocery store all the time. Because fuck it, they're goddamned comfortable.

9. I wouldn't judge you for carrying a murse, spiceguys.

i carry so much shit on me all the time, i wish it was ok for me to carry a purse

10. Eviljam13 is a self-proclaimed squee-er.

Whenever i see a girl i like, i do something that can only be described as a "squee"

11. I don't know, TwoFingersOfWhiskey, I think it's pretty adorable when a guy loves tiny animals as much as I do.

I really enjoy being gentle and affectionate with small delicate animals(example: nuzzling a kitten), and as I get older the voice I use to talk to them gets dumber and dumber. Then I have to catch myself, gather my manhood, and look around to see if I have to kill any people for witnessing such an emasculating display. None, so far.

spoonerhouse shared a similar story. He just really loves his kitty, okay?

A few weeks ago I was playing Overwatch and forgot I was on voice chat. My friend got to hear me fully uncensored telling my cat how much I love her in my dumb ass cat voice. "IZZY BEAR I LOOOOOOOOOVE YOU, YOU ARE THE SWEETEST KITTY TO HAVE EVER LIVVVVVVVED!!!" Hilariously embarrassing. Now, if I can find a woman who I am comfortable enough to let that voice out, I know she must be married.

12. satisfried has essential oils and he's not afraid to use them.

I soak my feet after work. It started out because I had athletes foot. Now I do it because it feels awesome and keeps my feet less smelly. Throw some tea tree oil and lavender up in there.

13. I'd watch a Disney movie starring airlockengage.

I sing around the house. I especially sing when I clean or cook.
I'm a goddamned Disney Princess, all that's missing are the animal helpers.

14. I get it, Buddins. Bugs can be scary.

If I see any kind of insect or bug larger than my small finger I will run. I will run and I will never return.

Well guys, I think I speak for every straight woman in the world when I say, "You are all adorable. Please call me."

Everyone thinks their kids are the cutest, smartest, and most talented children on Earth. Celebrities are no exception. They're proud parents who love bragging about their kid's everyday accomplishments and showing them off to their millions of followers. The only difference is these kids are infinitely more spoiled. Here are seven celebrity parents who brag about their kids as much as you do.

1. Jessica Simpson

Jessica is a proud mama of her two look alike kids, her daughter Maxi and son Ace. The blondie brother and sister pair are just 14 months apart and if you go on Jessica's Instagram, you can see she's obsessed with posting pics of the cuties. Like really obsessed. Enjoy it now Jessica, because soon enough Ace and Maxi will be like "Moooom, stop it! You're so embarrassing."

2. David Beckham

Soccer player and super hot DILF David Beckham isn't shy about showing his love for his four kids with former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham. He loves to show off their talents on his Instagram, which somehow just makes him even hotter.

3. Britney Spears

Britney Spears' Instagram is a national treasure. It's full of ab pictures, Google images of corn, inspirational quotes, and of course pictures of her two cute sons, Sean and Jayden. Britney is a proud mama showing off her kids doing cannonballs, jumping on trampolines, and going to water parks. She's also very encouraging of their artwork, often posting it on Instagram just like it's her fridge! She's a cute mama.

4. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt is a really cute guy and an even cuter Dad. Whether he's making his son Jack pancakes or teaching him to fish, Daddy Pratt is a super proud papa.

5. Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey doesn't do anything small, and that includes spoiling her two adorable twins Rocky and Monroe. Her Instagram is jam packed with adorable pictures of these two curly haired cuties. She's been posting pics of #dembabies since they were born, and you have to admit it's really fun watching them grow up. Mariah is one proud Mama.

6. Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Patrick Harris is a proud papa to adorable twins Harper and Gideon. He captures every moment in their lives, much to the delight of his four million Instagram followers. Wouldn't you just love to tell four million people how proud you are of your baby? It's every parent's dream to get to brag that freakin' hard.

7. Katy Perry

Mamas love their fur babies too! Stars like Amanda Seyfried, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry are just as proud of their "children" as any parent. Katy's pampered pooch, Butters, has a better life (and wardrobe) than most of us ever will.

Another long, hot summer week is in the books. Unwind with jokes about Scooby Doo, meatballs, kissing dolphins and more, in the top 41 tweets of the week!

Khloé Kardashian called out the media on Thursday, who she says once called her fat and now call her too skinny.

Who exactly these shamers were in the media is not quite clear; there were a few articles saying she looked slim earlier this week at her grandma's birthday party, but they were complimenting her fitness progress.

So, she's either trying to kick up some free publicity (it worked), or pat herself on the back for being in great shape (she's worked hard). Or, you know, she might just be referring to the work of the legions of trolls that follow her every move.

This might have been the story to which she was referring:

And here are some recent pictures of her:

In the approximately 15,000 comments, Khloe's bound to find plenty of body-shaming to hit back at.

Update: Scott Baio has responded to our article and provided relevant information. Scroll down to learn more.

Having not worked as an actor for a while, Scott Baio has really taken to his new job as a Donald Trump mouthpiece on Twitter (even though Trump hardly needs any help stirring sh*t on the site).

Last week, during the Republican National Convention, former "Charmed" actress and op-ed writer Rose McGowan shared her thoughts.

Even after missing the boat, Baio somehow managed to find the tweet and decided to offer his unsolicited thoughts on her thoughts. He even threw in a little shaming for good measure.

McGowan responded to the fight by refusing to get into the fight.

But she added:

The TweetLonger reads:

And then, for some reason, Baio's wife seemingly decided to chime in about her husband's penis.

And Mrs. Baio also chimed in on McGowan's godlessness.

UPDATE: We were directed to Rose McGowan's deleted tweet by Baio himself, having previously not known about its existence. Turns out Mrs. Scott Baio didn't get "sausage dick" out of nowhere.

At the RNC last week, Melania Trump caused controversy for stealing lines from a speech Michelle Obama gave in 2008. Now Democratic Congresswoman from Ohio Joyce Beatty is stealing something from Melania—her look.

On Thursday, Rep. Joyce Beatty wore the exact same dress Melania Trump wore as she gave her now infamous, partially plagiarized speech at the Republican National Convention. The $2,190 dress by Roksanda worn by the two women is pretty distinct, so people definitely took notice as soon as Representative Beatty took the stage.

The Ohio Democrat swears that it was not her idea to wear the dress. She told WCMH that her husband actually purchased it for her and encouraged her to wear it. However, she obviously didn't protest.

"Now it’s blowing up all over the nation that it’s the same as Mrs. Trump’s, but I don’t know, I just know that I used my own words when I wore the dress."

It's not exactly a case of "who wore it better" because, let's be honest, both of the women looked great.

The real question is if Beatty wore the dress to serve a heaping dose of shade to the GOP, or if she wore it because, miraculously, more than one woman actually thought those sleeves were a good idea.

Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer on Pretty Little Liars, attended a panel hosted by Cosmopolitan at the DNC on Wednesday. At one point, the conversation somehow shifted from politics and women's rights to Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. When asked if she sided with Kimye or T-Swift, Troian couldn't bring herself to decide between the true "lesser of two evils."

Oh god, I have such an aversion to the Kardashians because I literally don't understand people's obsession with them and I don't want to accept them as our closest thing to a royal family, so I guess I would be Team Taylor Swift? However, I'm so appalled by what I consider to be her false feminism. It seems like she's this person who's like, "Sisterhood!" and then she does nothing but tear down the women that were once her friends.

Troian, who supported Bernie Sanders in the primary but plans to back Hillary Clinton in the general election, had an easier time switching allegiances politically than she did deciding between Kardashian and Swift. Instead of choosing either celebrity, she totally went Jill Stein.

So is it possible to just be, like … this is a two-party system that I don't want to be a part of? Can I just say that? Can I say that I would choose the Green Party in this?

Besides discussing pointless celebrity drama, Bellisario also spoke extensively about things that actually matter, like the future of our country and women's health issues. Check out the full interview here.
