You guys, don't feel bad about your love life. Even Britney Spears goes on bad dates!

She recounted one particular bad date for Marie Claire UK...

I had a really bad date. I mean, it was really bad...I've been single for ages and had a date with a guy I liked. I was getting anxious, worrying he wouldn't like me. In the evening I got on the scales and I had lost six pounds.

Um, stop bragging Britney! JK, the date itself actually sounds pretty bad.

We went to the movies, but I could tell right away it wasn't working. It was sort of awkward. So after the movie I came home and that was it... He just wasn't that into me. I liked him. He knew that. But he definitely didn't feel the same. It happens to everybody. Being famous doesn't make you any different.

Who is this dummy and does he realize she's Britney... bitch?

But it's all good, because Lady Britz—new nickname, make it spread—is cool just being mama to her sons with ex Kevin Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Becoming a mother and being with my boys has made me so much more accepting of myself. I'm their mom, whatever. That has been a really big thing for me over these last few years.

Love that Britney. She's just like us! (Besides the whole being a famous pop star thing.)

Do you suspect your partner is cheating? Have you tried stalking them with a drone? Apparently more people are using the unmanned aerial vehicles to catch their partners in the act of infidelity, says California Certified Family Law Specialist Peter Walzer​. Walzer said so many people are using drones for personal use that states and the federal government have had to put new laws in place to regulate them.

Among other regulations (like, they can't fly faster than 100 mph), the new rules prevent drones from being used to spy on strangers. Also, using a drone to track someone without their knowledge is considered stalking and is illegal in most states.

But like so many laws, this one is getting broken a whole lot, apparently. Because desperate and/or masochistic people are dying to catch their spouses in the act.

“One lady hired a private investigator to fly a drone over Central Park to spy on her cheating husband,” said Walzer.

But before you go to Drones R Us to get one of these Creeper Busters for yourself, keep in mind there are a few downsides:

1) Drones have a limited range, so the cheating would have to be happening very close by. ("Honey, if you're going to cheat, can you make sure to do it on this block?")

2. They're super loud, like a weed whacker. So your cheating spouse might be like "WTF IS THAT NOISE?" and then you'll have to explain why you set a drone on him or her in the first place.

3. That whole legality issue. “Whether the person uses the drone or hires someone to operate it, they may be breaking state and federal law,” says Walzer. “In addition, they may subject themselves to restraining orders that have serious consequences.”

WORTH IT. Sorry, but this is the coolest way to catch someone cheating ever.

Dr. Pimple Popper's latest patient has had growths all over her body for at least 10 years, but she says they've multiplied a lot in recent years, prompting her visit to Dr. Sandra Lee's famous dermatology practice. The culprit ended up being Steatocystoma Multiplex, which is not the name of the worst movie theater ever but a condition where the body forms lots and lots of pockets filled with (let's just be honest, since you did click on this, after all) an oily, milky substance. Like, a lot of it. The action starts in earnest at 4:30.

Often, when people seek plastic surgery, they ask for a feature that's similar to a celebrity's, much like you showing a picture of Zooey Deschanel's bangs to your hairdresser (hot tip: there's no need because every hairdresser in America sees Zooey Deschanel's bangs as soon as they close their eyes).

Anyway, judging by what people ask plastic surgeons for, the perfect face has:

• The nose of Kate Middleton
• The eyes of Keira Knightley
• The eyebrows of Jennifer Lopez
• The lips of Penelope Cruz
• The cheeks of Angelina Jolie
• The skin of Reese Witherspoon
• The forehead of Miley Cyrus
• The chin of Selena Gomez
• And the jawline of... Cher? Okay, sure.

Here's what that perfection looks like, according to The Sun:

Oh. So Kate Beckinsale.

Zooey Deschanel's daughter's first words were appropriately adorkable.

Zooey Deschanel, she of the famous bangs, was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!recently. She told a story about her daughter Elsie Otter's first words. And yes, they were as quirky and cute as you might expect. They were also incredibly useful.

Deschanel says that her husband taught their year old daughter to say "cheese" because she likes it so much. (Don't we all?) She also knows how to say "more" in American sign language (ASL). So it makes perfect sense that the little girl would ask for "more cheese," in the morning, because what better way is there to start the day?

On August 26, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick declined to stand for the national anthem before a pre-season game, explaining that he wouldn't honor a song or "show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." He continued, "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Unsurprisingly, there was an immediate backlash online, with some folks saying that his decision to remain seated was disrespectful to veterans who had served under that flag. But then the veterans themselves started to show support for Kaepernick on Twitter using the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick.

This picture of Nicole Austin aka "Coco" and her 9-month-old baby Chanel is truly out of this world. It's glamorous, over-the-top, adorable, and maybe just a little bit extra-terrestrial.

Zero judgment here, because moms (and women in general) are judged way too harshly by society at large. But this picture does beg a few questions like: Is that wicker? How did you decide on aqua? Why so much tulle? Are those diamonds? Is anything even real???

Coco posted the photo on Instagram yesterday, with the caption: “Chanel and I work well together in photoshoots! Here’s a little candid shot for ya! More to come!”

This isn't baby Chanel's first appearance on social media. And it won't be her last. Coco even said, because of all the online trolling she's experienced, that her daughter's social media presence gives her "hope for humanity."

Unsolicited audience participation is not welcome at a comedy show, especially when it's with sexist comments (which also aren't welcome ANYWHERE). A less than sweet Swede heckled Amy Schumer two full minutes into her standup show in Stockholm, Sweden, and wasn't even clever. The dude yelled "Show us your tits!" and was promptly addressed by Schumer herself with classic plays right out of the comedian's playbook, riffing on his job and warning him that that's strike one.

When the guy didn't shut up, Schumer said, "That's really cute, but if you yell out again, you're going to be yelling 'Show your tits' to people in the parking lot," and after strike three, he was out.

"We're going to miss you so much. I already miss you," she joked.

Boy bye.

The prolific and popular prankster Obvious Plant (aka Jeff Wysaski) is well-known for making elaborate and well-crafted printed materials that are designed to blend into their surroundings... until you look a little more closely. Most recently, he visited a metaphysical shop (the kind of place you might find New Age-y stuff like crystals and occult books) and left his own spell book there for anyone to find. From unleashing the destructive power of dad sneezes to at-home cloning techniques, it's fair to say this is the only spell book you'll ever need.

Legendary film and music video director Spike Jonze is known for such heady films as Being John Malkovich, but also magical, dance-heavy music videos. His ad—if you can call this 3:49 music video an ad—for Kenzo World perfume is like a cross between Jonze's "Weapon of Choice" music video starring Christopher Walken, magic, and cocaine. Lots of it. Starring Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers) and choreographed by Ryan Heffington, you will want to be on whatever is in this perfume. (Skip to 0:55 if you're impatient for the insanity.)

Here's Jonze's 2003 video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice," in case you're still hungering for actors-dancing-in-magical-Spike-Jonze-videos:

Yes, you read that headline correctly: former Playboy model Pamela Anderson and an Orthodox rabbi wrote an essay for The Wall Street Journalon the dangers of porn. Just to be clear: playing your old Baywatch VHS tapes in slow-motion is still totally fine.

Anderson, along with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, wrote the essay in response to the latest developments in the Anthony Weinerdude, keep it in your pants scandal. They wrote...

And if anyone still doubted the devastation that porn addiction wreaks on those closest to the addict, behold the now-shattered marriage of Mr. Weiner and Huma Abedin … From our respective positions of rabbi-counselor and former Playboy model and actress, we have often warned about pornography’s corrosive effects on a man’s soul and on his ability to function as husband and, by extension, as father. This is a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness.

Wait, but the Weiner scandal has nothing to do with porn. Whatever, we're so not with you.

They go on to say that men in particular are most impacted by porn addiction. They say that men have...

... less satisfactory intimate lives with their wives or girlfriends as a result of the consumption.

They do know that not all men are straight, right? Anyway, the odd duo saves the best for last, the children! They contend children are being raised in an...

... environment of wall-to-wall, digitized sexual images … They are the crack babies of porn.​

Crack babies? OK, we're just going to end this, because it's getting weird.

Gabriella Guardado, a 22-year-old registered nurse from Florida, clearly has a really cool step-dad, because he acts grateful and excited to find a pen in his birthday gift bag, not realizing the real gift was the adult adoption form underneath. It takes David Lynde a moment to realize what his daughter has just handed him, but once he does, the emotions come pouring forth.

Gabriella had wanted Lynde to adopt her since she was 12, but her biological father would not sign off on the papers. She gave up when she turned 18, unaware that adult adoption was a possibility. "I did research and found out that I could do that without the consent of my biological dad," she told the Daily Mail, and she prepared the paperwork as a gift for David's 53rd birthday.

"His reaction was so funny because at first he had no idea what I was handing," Gabriella said of the video, "when it clicked, he just started crying, which made me cry and my mom and everyone else in the room."

"Am I adopting you?" Lynde hopefully asks after realizing what the gift is.

"I want you to, you don't have to, you can say no, but I want you to adopt me," Gabriella responds, "You've been my dad and I know legal papers don't change anything."

Despite that, it's clear Lynde was intensely grateful to get them. "Wow, Gabby, you have no idea​..." he said, through tears, "Gabby you have no idea how much that means to me. You have no idea."

Gabriella's mother, Lori Ann Lynde, told the Mail that she and David had been married since 2004, when Gabby was 10, following an abusive relationship with the father of Gabriella and three of her siblings. "I didn't have a good first marriage, but I did good this time," said Lori Ann. "When [Gabby] told me," about her plans for the birthday present, "of course I cried. She said I want his name."

"To see [David's] reaction just made parenting worth it," said Lori Ann, "all the tears, all the arguments all the good times and the bad. It just made it all worth it."

Said Gabriella of her now-legal father, "He helped me grow into the young woman that I am and helped me through all the hard times of getting through nursing school and becoming a young adult."
