If your friends all suck, you can now hire a professional bridesmaid.

Jen Glantz is fine with always being a bridesmaid and never being a bride, because she is totally making bank from it. After being years of being a bridesmaid for friends, Glantz decided to use all she learned and opened her business, "Bridesmaid for Hire." Yes, you can hire a bridesmaid to do the things you can't trust your friends to do.

Bless them.

According to the website, she can be your "personal assistant-on-call therapist- social director-the ultimate peacekeeper" and will take on the less-glamourous aspects of Bridesmaid-ing (like holding up your dress while you pee) so you and your guests could enjoy your big day. It's kind of genius.

Glantz offers a bunch of different packages and services, from her helping you write a perfect maid of honor speech to her putting on a dress and standing at the altar with you. Sure, she's basically a total stranger who is holding the reigns of your wedding, presumably the most important day of your life, but she has a damn impressive resume. She wrote the book on being bridesmaid. Literally.

Plus, this whole thing seems like a perfect set up to a rom-com where Glantz will work tirelessly to make other women's dreams come true before she stops to focus on her own happiness. Wait, that is the plot of 27 Dresses. Damn it.

8 criminals who bragged on social media and got caught.

The best criminals know not to brag and flaunt their money, because it always draws unwanted attention from the law. But most criminals aren't very savvy, especially when it comes to social media. Here are eight who couldn't help but brag online, and got caught as a result.

1. The guy who commented on a Facebook warrant post.

UPDATE: In custody 3/3/2015 Time for another featured warrant of the week! BCSO is looking to apprehend ANDREW DALE...

Posted by Butler County Sheriff's Office on Monday, March 2, 2015

Andrew Dale Marcum decided to comment on the Facebook post of his warrant by the Butler County Sheriff's Office. While he said "he ain't tripping," he did indeed trip up. He was captured the very next day:

The best part is that his comment is still live on the original post, well over a year after this happened. Marcum still hasn't learned how Facebook works.


2. The guy who posted from his victim's Facebook account.

Marc Fisher is a writer for The Washington Postwho chronicled the tale of Rodney Knight, a man who robbed his home, then proceeded to post to pictures of his loot to Fisher's son's Facebook page via a stolen laptop. Knight was even wearing Fisher's coat in the picture, providing ample evidence for his arrest.


3. The guy who confessed to murder and posted evidence on Facebook.

Derek Medina confessed to killing his wife on Facebook, and then, despicably, uploaded a photo of the crime scene with her body. So he confessed, then posted a picture of the body, all on his own Facebook page with his own phone. Then he pleaded not guilty. It didn't work.


4. The teen girls who started "Attack a Teacher Day."

Six teen girls in Nevada were arrested after police discovered a Facebook event they'd created that was dedicated to threatening certain teachers with violence. They named it "Attack a Teacher Day," and while they claimed it was a joke, it was no joke when they were arrested and charged with misdemeanors for communicating threats.


5. The rival gangs who threatened each other on Facebook.

A series of threats on Facebook between two longtime rival gangs led to a raid and the largest gang bust in the history of New York City. It turns out that when one gang takes credit for a high-profile shooting, and then all sorts of other threats of violence get thrown around on Facebook, the NYPD takes notice. It resulted in 103 arrests for two murders and 19 non-fatal shootings.


6. The guy who liked his own mugshot.

Caption

Levi Charles Reardon liked his own mugshot on the Cascade County Crime Stoppers' Facebook page. The best part of him liking the mugshot from his own profile is the reason he had a warrant out for his arrest: felony forgery. Maybe try a fake account next time, ace. He was arrested shortly after liking the post.


7. The guy who siphoned gas from a police car.

Siphoning gas from a car is a bad idea. Siphoning gas from a police car is a worse idea. Siphoning gas from a police car, then bragging about it on Facebook while giving the bird is the worst idea in the world. Michael Baker of Jenkins, Kentucky, was arrested and spent a night in jail, hopefully without the stench of gasoline on his breath.


8. The fugitive who accepted a friend request from the Justice Department.

Maxi Sopo decided to take a little trip to Mexico after defrauding Seattle banks out of more than $200,000. He posted about his trip on Facebook, not longer after he accepted a friend request from a Justice Department official. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, or just make them the same thing.

Woman trying to film a dolphin doesn't realize her iPad looks like a fish.

Well, it is officially happening: the dolphins stuck in captivity at SeaWorld are seeking revenge. According to Fox11, a dolphin snatched a woman's iPad from out of her hands at SeaWorld over the weekend, sparking what must be the beginning of an animal uprising in an effort to take over the human race and claim the Earth as their own. Or maybe it just thought the iPad was a fish, who knows.

The video was shot by SeaWorld season pass holder Kuadiel Gomez, and it has quickly gone viral because who doesn't love a video of a dolphin messing with people's stuff? Maybe the dolphin was just looking to play some Pokémon Go or something; it is probably very boring swimming around the same small pool all your life.

Here's the richest person in every state so you always know who to shake your fist at.

America's a giant, rich place, but only one person can be the richest (Bill Gates - $76B); a more interesting question is "who is the richest person who can be (loosely) called my neighbor"? Well, if you live in Washington State, you're still competing with Bill "Almost Twelve Digits" Gates, but otherwise you may not even know who your wealthiest neighbor is. As they do every year, Forbes answered that question with their official list of the richest resident of every state.

Forbes has an extensive report on this topic, with biographies for each person, but here's a quick overview.

  1. Washington State: Bill Gates, Microsoft - $76 billion.
  2. Nebraska: Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway - $67.9 billion.
  3. California: Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook - $51.6 billion.
  4. New York: Michael Bloomberg, Bloomberg LP - $43.6 billion.
  5. Kansas: Charles Koch, inherited/Koch Industries - $42.8 billion.

Although the top four people on this list made their money themselves (and the Koch brothers did actually run and grow the company started by their father), the next two are heirs to the biggest fortune of all, the Waltons of Walmart. They're followed not far behind by the Mars family, heir to the candy fortune.

  1. Arkansas: Jim Walton, inherited - $34.5 billion.
  2. Texas: Alice Walton, inherited - $33.3 billion.
  3. Nevada: Sheldon Adelson, casinos - $26.1 billion.
  4. Oregon: Phil Knight, Nike - $25.1 billion.
  5. (Tie) Virginia: Jacqueline Mars, inherited - $22.9 billion.
  6. (Tie) Wyoming: (siblings) John Mars and Forrest Mars, Jr, inherited - $22.9 billion each.

One​ thing that's remarkable about this list is range at the top of the pyramid. Sure, big states like New York and California (and Wyoming for tax reasons) have also-ran billionaires who are richer than other states' richest people, but six states (gasp) don't even have billionaires!

  1. Connecticut: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater hedge fund - $15.6 billion.
  2. Massachusetts: Abigail Johnson, inherited/Fidelity Investments - $14.7 billion.
  3. Colorado: Charles Ergan, satellite TV - $13.3 billion.
  4. Florida: Thomas Peterffy, Interactive Brokers Group - $13.1 billion
  5. Wisconsin: John Menard, Jr., Menards hardware chain - $10.6 billion.
  6. Georgia: Jim Kennedy, inherited/Cox media - $10.5 billion.
  7. Oklahoma: Harold Hamm (& heirs), oil and natural gas - $10 billion.
  8. New Jersey: Donald Newhouse, inherited/Advance Publications media - $9.6 billion.
  9. North Carolina: James Goodnight, SAS business analytics software - $8.5 billion.

One bizarre effect of the spread of the size of fortunes at the tip-top is that extremely wealthy people still feel inadequate all the time. Take #20, James Goodnight. As a self-made man, I'm sure he's OK with me using him as an example. He's worth $8.5 billion, which is approximately $8.5 billion more than you. But the gap between him and, say, the Mars heirs ($22.9B) is $14.4 billion. The gap between that guy and each of the Mars kids is almost double the gap between him and any old schmuck on the street.

  1. Tennessee: Thomas Frist, Jr., health care industry - $8.3 billion.
  2. Arizona: Bruce Halle, Discount Tire Company - $8.2 billion.
  3. Missouri: Stanley Kroenke, real estate, sports teams - $7.9 billion.
  4. Hawaii: Pierre Omidyar, eBay - $7.8 billion.
  5. Illinois: Ken Griffin, Citadel hedge fund - $7.5 billion.
  6. Ohio: Les Wexner (& heirs), Victoria's Secret, other retail - $6.7 billion.
  7. Montana: Dennis Washington, construction & mining - $5.9 billion.
  8. Indiana: Carl Cook, Cook Group medical devices - $5.8 billion.
  9. Maryland: Ted Lerner, real estate - $5.5 billion.
  10. Minnesota: Whitney MacMillan, inherited/Cargill industries - $5.3 billion.
  11. Michigan: Dan Gilbert, Quicken - $5.1 billion.
  12. Pennsylvania: Mary Alice Dorrance Malone, inherited (Campbell's Soup) - $4.2 billion.

Politicians like to rail against the estate tax on behalf of their biggest donors, but it's worth pointing out that the hated "death tax" is why this list isn't just 50 Rockefellers, Carnegies, Astors, Vanderbilts, and other names of bygone eras. Most of these fortunes are self-made, and the Walton and Mars heirs are still first-generation. The estate tax is there pretty much to avoid aristocracy.

  1. Iowa: Harry Stine, agricultural genetic engineer - $3.4 billion.
  2. (tie) Kentucky: B. Wayne Hughes, Public Storage - $2.5 billion.
  3. (tie) South Carolina: Anita Zucker, inherited/InterTech Group - $2.5 billion.
  4. Louisiana: Tom Benson (& heirs), car dealer/Saints owner - $2.2 billion.
  5. Idaho: Scott Simplot, inherited/agriculture - $2.1 billion.
  6. Rhode Island: Jonathan Nelson, Providence Equity Partners - $1.8 billion.
  7. (tie) South Dakota: T. Denny Sanford, banking/credit cards - $1.6 billion.
  8. (tie) Utah: Gail Miller, car dealerships/Utah Jazz - $1.6 billion.
  9. (tie) West Virginia: Jim Justice, coal - $1.6 billion.
  10. Maine: (siblings) Bill Alford and Susan Alford, inherited (Dexter Shoe Company) - $1.2 billion each.

As we reach the lowly, pathetic $1 billion mark, let's look at the gap again. The Alford kids may be worth $1.2 billion a pop, but #20 James Godnight is seven times wealthier, and the Mars kids are 20 times as rich.

  1. (tie) Mississippi: Leslie Lampton, petroleum refining - $1 billion.
  2. (tie) New Hampshire: Andrea Reimann-Ciardelli, inherited - $1 billion.
  3. North Dakota: Gary Tharaldson, hotels - $950 million.
  4. Delaware: (siblings) Robert Gore and Elizabeth Snyder - inherited/Robert invented Gore-Tex - $770 million.
  5. New Mexico: Mack C. Chase, oil - $690 million.
  6. Alabama: Jimmy Rane, lumber - $610 million.
  7. Vermont: John Abele, Boston Scientific medical devices - $600 million.
  8. Alaska: Jonathan Rubini, Leonard Hyde (& heirs), co-founders of JL Properties real estate - $350 million.

Yes, you did the math right. The two richest men in Alaska are 200 times poorer than their neighbor Bill to the south.

If you like reading about the actual lifestyles of the rich and famous (for being rich), head over to Forbes for their interactive map and in-depth biographies of all of these success (and inheritance) stories.

5 Olympic sports America sucks at.

$

Team USA has been crushing it so far at the 2016 Rio Olympics. We've already dominated in swimming, shooting, and side eye, and it's only day four! Since the beginning of the Olympic Games, the US has brought in 2,701 medals (and counting). Believe it or not, however, no American team or athlete has ever won a medal in any of these five sports.

1. Rhythmic gymnastics

Our best hope is someone born in 1999.

Rhythmic Gymnastics became a sport in 1984, and the US has never won one stinking medal. You'd think we'd be just as good as any other country with a colorful ribbon on a stick, but we're not. Not even close. Team USA gymnast Laura Zeng will have a chance of breaking the losing streak for Team USA when she competes in Rio on August 19th.

How can we recruit this baby elephant to Team USA?

2. Trampoline

Logan Dooley will try to break America's losing streak when he competes on August 13th.

If you've ever seen America's Funniest Home Videos, then you know Americans struggle big time with the trampoline. As a direct result, we've never earned a medal in this event. Sad! America's Nicole Ahsinger and Logan Dooley will try to remedy this on August 12 and 13, respectively.

This would never happen in China.

3. Badminton

Howard Shu is Representing Team USA in Rio, and by the looks of this photo shoot, maybe space?

Finding out the US has never earned a medal in Badminton is almost as shocking as learning there's an 'n' in the word Badminton. Many of us tried this sport in high school PE class, but quickly lost focus giggling every time someone said "shuttlecock." Maybe it's less funny in other languages, idk. American Howard Shu will compete on August 12, and Paula Lynn Obanana and Iris Wang will begin their matchups on August 11.


4. Table Tennis

US Olympian Lily Zhang gettin' her Gump on.

Table Tennis, aka Ping Pong, aka Non-alcoholic Beer Pong was introduced to the Olympics in 1988. Most of the medals have predictably gone to China. The United States has won zero table tennis medals. ZERO! Our most famous ping pong player is Forrest Gump, but he crushed it, so whatever. WE STILL RULE! (Lily Zhang and Timothy Wang will try again for America on August 12.)

The US Men's and Women's Table Tennis events are on August 12.

5. Handball

Not pictured: Americans

Neither the US men or women's handball teams even qualified for the 2016 Olympics so the medal drought will continue. Dang it.

At least the USA still dominates at synchronized male stripping.

Trump implies ‘Second Amendment people’ are the only way to stop Clinton.

Today in "Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Says Horrible, Inciting Things and Continues to Face No Consequences from His Party," Trump seemed to imply that some of his fans could assassinate his political opponents.

Talking about Hillary calling to repeal the Second Amendment (which she isn't), Trump said, "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks." Then he adds, "Though the Second Amendment folks, maybe there is..."

Some believe he was calling on people with guns to use their guns to kill or otherwise injure Hillary Clinton (or her judges? Either way, it's BAD).

The bearded man is shocked. We are all Skinny Santa.

Trump's campaign immediately went into damage control moment, insisting that his "2nd Amendment people" comment was not about them using guns, but using their vast political power.

The Clinton campaign interpreted the phrase "doing something about it" as actually using guns.

This "joke" or "gaffe" or "lil LOL," whichever term people like to use to excuse these straight-up sh*tty statements, is also illegal under the US code. The law states, "whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm" upon "a major candidate for the office of President" or "immediate family of a former president", of which Clinton is both, "shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

That's right, for all the chants of "LOCK HER UP!" at the Republican National Convention, the RNC's golden boy might be eligible to go to jail.

Some highlights...

On Hillary Clinton.

On Immigration.

On being a Republican.

On having never heard of white supremacist David Duke.

On not releasing his tax returns.

But like, he's going to make America great again, right?

Here's how 'Game of Thrones' translators made Hodor's name work in 22 different languages.

One of many big twists on Game of Thrones last year was the revelation that gentle giant Hodor got his name/catchphrase from a time-warped version of the words "Hold the Door." (It makes sense if you've seen the episode. For those who don't watch Game of Thrones, yes, the most recent season involves some light time travel. I know, who'd have thought, right?)

Of course, this ended up creating a tricky problem for the translators, since "Hold the Door" doesn't sound at all like "Hodor" in many languages. Here's how they worked around that.

The caption reads:

There is no shame in gaining weight during pregnancy (or ever).
There is no shame if it takes longer than you think it will to lose the weight (if you want to lose it at all).
There is no shame in finally breaking down and making your own jean shorts because last summer's are just too dang short for this summer's thighs.
Bodies change.

As technology becomes an increasingly important part of kids' lives, parents have to find ways to look away from their phones, too keep up. According to this print-out posted on Imgur, however, at least one mom has figured out the perfect way to balance her kids' screen time with chores:

Also, that's a slightly creepy Hunger Games reference at the end there. But hey, if vaguely threatening references to forcing kids to kill other kids is what gets the kitchen clean, that's all that matters, right?

Being a mom is hard. Being an Olympic athlete is hard. So you may be asking yourself how in the heck being both is even possible. But the truth is that a determined women can do freaking anything. Here are seven super moms who are competing in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Get inspired.

1. Dana Vollmer

Dana Vollmer is a four-time gold medalist who returned to swimming after giving birth to son her Arlen just last year. In 2012, she won two gold medals and broke two world records. Since giving birth, the new mom has already picked up a silver and bronze medal in Rio. According to her website, she calls herself a "momma on a mission."

Reunited!!!! It's been so hard not seeing this little face everyday. #sacrifices #lovebeingamom

2. Oksana Chusovitina

She does not look 41.

At age 41, Oskana Chusovitina is the oldest female gymnast in history. She's currently competing in her 7th Olympic games. The superstar vaulter has a 17 year-old son who's the same age as many of her competitors. Totally bad ass.

This kid has big reasons to be proud of his little mom.

3. Kerri Walsh Jennings

Kerri Walsh Jennings has three gold medals and three kids. Yes, that body had three kids. The beach volleyball star admitted she was even in the early stages of pregnancy when she won the gold in 2012. Kerri told NBC that she'd love another gold medal and another baby, adding, “I feel like I was born to have babies and play volleyball.”

4. Nia Ali

She has a one-year-old, so what's your excuse?

Nia Ali is competing in the Olympics for her first time this year, in the 100-meter hurdles event. Ali has a one-year-old son named Titus, whose dad—get this—is also an Olympic track star. Talk about some awesome genetics. That's going to be one fast baby.

This baby could outrun us all.

5. Kristin Armstrong

She's even got the superwoman stance down!

Cyclist Kristin Armstrong made her fourth Olympic appearance this year. When she won the gold in 2012, she brought her son Lucas to pose on the podium with her, resulting in this adorable family photo.

Sorry that this gold medal is slightly better than the macaroni necklace you gave her, kid.

Mom meets long-lost adult son, starts dating him. Now they could go to jail for their love.

A New Mexico couple could face jail time for being in love. Oh, and they're mother and son. So yeah, that happened.

Monica Mares, 36, and her son slash boyfriend Caleb Peterson, 19, reportedly fell in love after meeting for the first time in February of 2016. Mares gave Peterson up for adoption at birth, and they rekindled their relationship upon reuniting on Facebook.

Mares told the Daily Mail:

He is the love of my life and I don't want to lose him. My kids love him, my whole family does. Nothing can come between us not courts, or jail, nothing.... I have to be with him. When I get out of prison I will move out of Clovis to a state that allows us to be together.

They are telling their story to raise awareness for Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) relationships. Speaking of, incest is illegal in all 50 states, with varying degrees of penalties. Mares and Peterson each face up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine if convicted.

Mares said she's willing to give up her other children in order to be with Peterson, making all nine of them feel special and loved.

Peterson said the pair became an item when:

We were hanging out just talking and I looked at her and she looked at me and I kissed her. It was a real kiss it had feelings behind it, there was a spark that ever since then it just stayed. Honestly I never thought we would get into trouble for our relationship. We were both consenting adults - when it comes down to it.

But Mares said she fell in love...

The first time we were physical ended up holding hands and then we ended up kissing and the kissing led to other things... I felt comfortable with him and we fell even more deeply in love.

Wow.

Based on the current court order, Mares can have no contact with Peterson or any of her other children. Andrea Reeb, the local District Attorney, said:

The law states that if you are related as they are - mother and son - you cannot have any type of sexual intimate relationship. It's a fourth-degree felony. It's the law so our office is bound to uphold the law so we are pursuing it... This case is going to be difficult only in the sense that some people think that Caleb is a victim and not a defendant.

Regardless, Mares says it's all worth it if it means she gets to be with Peterson... in bed.

It is every bit worth it. If they lock me up for love then they lock me up. There is no way anybody could pull us apart, and I really do love him.

Peterson feels the same way:

In two years time I can see us living together happily living our lives. True love can do anything.

OK, now let's call it exactly how we've been feeling this entire time...
