Leslie Jones joked about her leaked naked pics at the Emmys, because she's awesome.

Leslie Jones joined three suited-up accountants from Ernst & Young on stage at the Emmys last night, miraculously managing to make three stuffy white dudes seem funny. Ernst & Young is the accounting firm responsible for keeping the Emmy results safe until the big night, which prompted Jones to request they do the same for the thing that is really under siege— her Twitter account.

"Since you're good at keeping things safe, I've got a job for you: my Twitter account," quipped Jones in light of recent racist and sexist attacks from alt-right Twitter trolls that made her take hiatus from the internet. On top of the constant harassment she received, hackers also leaked her personal information, including her driver's license, passport and naked photos.

She went on to say, "Y’all over here using your skills to protect best voiceover in a French sitcom. Meanwhile, I’m butt-naked on CNN. I just wanted to feel beautiful, y’all. Can a sister feel beautiful?" The audience then burst into applause because, damn, she's right.

Leslie 4ever.

The ergonomic guide to toilet naps.

0
0

If you're like me (if you are, I'm sorry), you get exhausted during the day at work, no matter how much coffee you drink. You can't help but retreat to the bathroom, the only truly private place where your boss won't bug you and everyone always minds their own business while they do their business. Here's a guide to getting the most out of your bathroom break with a full-on nap.

1. The Classic Head-In-Hands

Pros: The most intuitive of the sleeping positions, cradling the head in the hands is reliable and comfortable.

Cons: The elbow-knee contact cuts off circulation to the legs, which will probably already be going numb thanks to the toilet bowl.


2. The Ferris Bueller

Pros: Leaning back helps you get in a good, refreshing stretch, and sitting tall helps you feel like the master of your domain in the midst of a disheartening work day.

Cons: It's hard to maintain when you're f*cking exhausted and just want to collapse.


3. The TPillow

Pros: Great for side-sleepers, it most closely resembles what it's like to lie in bed. The use of (unused!) toilet paper will make you proud of your MacGyver-like resourcefulness.

Cons: It's tough to find a good balance that doesn't put too much much pressure on the neck and shoulder on the wall-side. Also, be sure to recycle (use) the toilet paper afterward, so you're not being wasteful.


4. The Fetal Seat-al

Pros: Hearkens back to the good old days in the womb. Great for criers.

Cons: Like its relative The TPillow (see above), it's tough to balance.


5. The Zen Master

Pros: Perfect for meditation, which if you can manage, will help you emerge from the bathroom even more refreshed than a nap would.

Cons: Meditation is just an opportunity have all your anxieties rush into your brain, and while that proves why you should be meditating in the first place, it's super unpleasant. You can tell I don't meditate in this photo because my hands formed some kind of yogi/Spider-Man hybrid.


6. The Neck Roller

Pros: If your office bathroom has full toilet rolls around, or it's easy to sneak into the supply closet, the roll makes a great neck pillow. This would also work awesomely on planes if it weren't weird to whip out toilet paper at your seat.

Cons: It's tough to keep hold of the roll with just your chin. Plus it's awkward to figure out what to do with your hands.


7. The Incognito Leg Lift

Pros: If your bathroom has stalls where you can see one another's feet, it's vital that you either change to a second pair of unrecognizable shoes, or lift your feet so nobody recognizes you or tries to start a conversation. Hoisting the feet up makes for a good hamstring stretch, and keeps your sneakers hidden.

Cons: It takes chutzpah to kick the wall, and can leave an unfortunate footprint. Plus, the stretch stops being relaxing after 0.34 seconds.


8. The Pluggin'

Pros: Next-level MacGyver-ing involves not just crafting makeshift pillows and neck rollers, but earplugs. Block out the noise and deepen your nap with some improvised tampon earplugs, and you'll have the world on a string.

Cons: Tampons are expensive, yo (and taxed as a luxury item!), plus you could miss a fire drill or some hot office gossip. Also it's gross. But it's something to keep in mind if you plan on making a Shrek Halloween costume.

The reason every woman on TV has the same hair might actually blow your mind.

0

Have you noticed that every woman on TV has their hair styled in the exact same, kind of overdone way? Truthfully, I hadn't until I watched this video—I just assumed that TV hair stylists tried to give actors the prettiest hair they could. But apparently, there's more that goes into the hairstyle than I realized—there are actually TV production reasons why every woman wears the same hair, as Racked discovered.

Still, it pains me that my hair will never look as good as Jane the Virgin's, unless I get on TV.

Holland Taylor freaking out on Twitter while watching girlfriend Sarah Paulson at the Emmys is the best thing ever.

Sarah Paulson won her first Emmy last night for the role of Marcia Clark in The People v O.J. Simpson, while her girlfriend, actress Holland Taylor, watched the show live on TV from across the country in New York (Paulson brought the real Marcia Clark as her plus one). But that didn't stop Taylor from offering her support on Twitter with a level of enthusiasm that we haven't seen since Leslie Jones watched the Olympics.

First Taylor, who L-Word fans may remember as Peggy Peabody, tweeted this pic yesterday:

Then she tweeted a pic of an ice cream cone to show she missed Paulson, who was already on her way to the ceremony.

Awwww. Then, the show started. Upon her first glimpse of her gf on the red carpet, Taylor tweeted this.

Then she continued to get more and more excited.

During a pre-show interview with E!, Paulson shouted out Taylor on camera, saying: “Hi Holland — Holland Taylor, if you’re watching, I love you."

Hell yes Taylor was watching. She responded right away:

And then, just when you think Taylor couldn't possibly be more excited or proud, her girl won.

During Paulson's acceptance speech, she shouted out a bunch of people, including Marcia Clark, executive producer Ryan Murphy and her co-stars. And, of course, her girlfriend. “Holland Taylor, I love you,” she said.

Taylor responded:

And was still excited at 1 am.

All anyone could ask for in a relationship is a love as strong as Leslie Jones' love for the Olympics. Which is why these two, despite their age gap, are definitely going to go the distance.

Britney Spears showed off her abs in an Instagram dance video.

Britney Spears' idea of a fun weekend involves filming herself dancing around her home gym and posting it to Instagram. All we see is whoa whoa those abs, are you even human?!

It's been a while since I've cut loose 😂😜

A video posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on

Seriously, we can't. Like, how do we get a set of those abs?

Killer abs and she spends her time teaching kiddies how to dance? Is Britney some sort of super human?!

Whatever the case may be, we're cray jealz. No wonder her new album is called Glory, her abs are basically screaming, "GLORY!"

7 feminist hunks I'd make a sandwich for.

0
0

I'm a feminist, so I believe in a woman's right to choose to make a sandwich or not make a sandwich. Her body, her sandwich fixings, her choice!

Personally, I hate cooking and yes, I include "making a sandwich" under the umbrella of "cooking." But I appreciate a male ally even more than I hate making sandwiches, and it doesn't hurt when that male ally is also famous and fine. Here are seven celebrities of the male persuasion who have passionately supported gender equality, and as a result, I would passionately make them a sandwich. Just one, though. I've got shit to do.

1) Mark Ruffalo

In 2013, the Kids Are All Right actor penned an open letter in which he staunchly defended reproductive rights and described his own mother's illegal abortion. You can read the whole thing here but here's a snippet:

I am a man. I could say this has nothing to do with me. Except I have two daughters and I have a mother who was forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal when she was a very young woman. It cost $600 cash. It was a traumatizing thing for her. It was shameful and sleazy and demeaning. When I heard the story I was aghast by the lowliness of a society that would make a woman do that. I could not understand its lack of humanity; today is no different.

Also, last year, Ruffalo shared a passionate defense of feminism by writer Libby Ann Bruce, “My response to the ‘I am not a feminist’ internet phenomenon…" on his personal Tumblr page and it went viral.

I'd make him a triple-decker sandwich with sliced turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato.

2) John Legend

John Legend is not only a feminist himself, but he believes all men should be, too. In 2013, ChrissyTeigen's ball-and-chain announced during a press event that "All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights the world will be a better place." He added: "We are better off when women are empowered—​it leads to a better society."

If you need more proof that he's Team Women, look no further than the video for You & I (Nobody in the World), which is basically an ode to women.

I'd make him a roast beef sandwich on rye with extra mayo.

3) Matt McGorry

The Orange is the New Black/How To Get Away With Murder star was late to the game with feminism, but once he found out what it really means, he jumped on board. In a passionate Facebook post last year, he wrote:

I'm embarrassed to admit that I only recently discovered the ACTUAL definition of "feminism". The fact that the term is sometimes clouded with anything other than pure support and positivity in our society is very tragic. I believe in gender equality. Being a feminist is for both women AND men. I AM A FEMINIST. In for equality? Pass it on - ‪#‎LeanInTogether‬ ‪#‎LeanIn‬‪ #‎IAmAFeminist‬ ‪#‎HeForShe‬

McGorry loves feminism so much he MADE A SHIRT about it to profit the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws. The shirt pissed off a lot of people online, which just shows he's willing to take on the feminist cause in its entirety, including being trolled.

He made a shirt. I would make him a meatball sub.

4) Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher is maybe not the person you'd most expect to speak passionately on behalf of women's rights. But don't judge a book by its chiseled jaw line. In 2011, the That '70s Show star (he's done a bunch of movies, too, but will always be Kelso in my heart) spoke about how equality needs to start at the level of sex education.

“I think there’s so much that’s not said about sex in our country, even from an educational level," he said. "The one thing they teach about is how to get pregnant or how to not get pregnant, but they don’t really talk about sex as a point of pleasure for women. That creates a place where women aren’t empowered around their own sexuality and their own sexual selves.”

I hope Kutcher likes ham and cheese on a bagel.

5) Joseph Gordon-Levitt

The Third Rock from the Sun actor (once a '90s TV star, always a '90s TV star) talked about being a feminist on Ellen in early 2014 and got a lot of attention. Then as a follow-up, he made this video about what feminism means to him. "To me it just means your gender doesn't have to define who you are," he said. "You can be whatever you want to be, whoever you want to be, regardless of your gender."

Who I am and what I want to be, among other things, is someone who would make Joseph Gordon-Levitt a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

6) Richard Sherman

During a 2014 press conference, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was asked an odd question about strip clubs. The interviewer said she thought athletes were being bad role models by going to strip clubs, which she apparently thinks is un-feminist (and, it should be noted, which Sherman denied doing). Nevertheless, he gamely answered her question with a positive response about equal opportunities for everyone:

I guess trying to understand that there are other avenues, there are other ways you can make money, that women can do anything they want in this world. You can go out there and be a CEO of a company. Like I said before, the same can be said for kids in the inner city—the ceiling is limitless and don’t limit yourself to those possibilities and those circumstances.

Hell yeah! I'd make him a protein-packed bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. With extra bacon.

7) Barack Obama

Barack Obama, President of the United States and my heart, is such a feminist he stuck it to The Man in a powerful essay for Glamouraddressing how the patriarchy hurts both men and women. And why it's important for him, as a father of two teen girls, to identify as a feminist.

He ended the essay with this mic dropping statement: "That’s what twenty-first-century feminism is about: the idea that when everybody is equal, we are all more free."

For this, I'd break my only-one-sandwich rule and make him an endless supply of sandwiches of every variety. But only if Michelle says it's okay.

Meet Carlee Benar, the Woodlands, Texas mom who either can't stop doing yoga long enough to breastfeed, or can't stop breastfeeding long enough to do yoga.

Benar has three children—the one attached to her nip is one-month-old Maramaylee. As far as we can tell, there is absolutely nothing in this world that could pull Maramaylee off her mom's breast.

✨"In our prophecies it is told that we are now at the crossroads: Either unite spiritually as a global nation, or be faced with chaos, disasters, diseases, and tears from our relatives’ eyes. We are the only species that is destroying the source of life, meaning Mother Earth, in the name of power, mineral resources, and ownership of land. Using chemicals and methods of warfare that are doing irreversible damage, as Mother Earth is becoming tired and cannot sustain any more impacts of war. I ask you to join me on this endeavor. Our vision is for the peoples of all continents, regardless of their beliefs in the Creator, to come together as one at their Sacred Sites to pray and meditate and commune with one another, thus promoting an energy shift to heal our Mother Earth and achieve a universal consciousness toward attaining Peace. As each day passes, I ask all nations to begin a global effort, and remember to give thanks for the sacred food that has been gifted to us by our Mother Earth, so the nutritional energy of medicine can be guided to heal our minds and spirits."✨~Chief Arvol Looking Horse *lifting all my Brothers &Sisters up in prayer* (((❤))) ✨🌎✨ #NODAPL #standwithStandingRock #waterislife 🌳This is a fight for saving Mother Earth and protecting All who live here🌳 #yogawithkids #breastfeedingyoga #babynumber3 #meditation #leagueofextraordinaryyogis ##dreaminghopper🌬️ #igyogamoms #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogapractice #focus #forearmfriday #educatebeforeyouvaccinate OUTFIT- @soulflowerbuds

Here she is literally one weak muscle away from being crushed and/or drowned but, to quote her wise breastfeeding yogi mom, "You will never do anything in this world without courage."

Why is this happening?

So… yeah.

A new study is shedding light on an easy way for men to perform better in bed.

0
0

According to a new study done by the University of Siena in Italy, men are more likely to perform better in bed when under the spotlight. Literally. Exposure to strong, bright light (similar to daylight) can boost a man's libido, desire, and testosterone levels without ever having to take a little blue pill.

The study examined 38 men who claimed to have a low sex drive. Every morning for two weeks, 19 of the 38 men would spend 30 minutes in a room with a bright light box. By the end of the study, the men who were exposed to the light saw significant increases in their testosterone levels. They also were, to put it plainly, much hornier. Professor Andrea Fagiolini, lead researcher on the study, said:

Before treatment, both groups averaged a sexual satisfaction score of around two out of 10, but after treatment the group exposed to the bright light was scoring sexual satisfaction scores of around 6.3 - a more than three-fold increase on the scale we used. In contrast, the control group only showed an average score of around 2.7 after treatment.

The findings were presented at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (that's a real word!) in Vienna, but this form of light therapy is still in its infancy, and cannot be considered a viable clinical treatment just yet.

Yeah, just go sit in a shady area.

Similar light box therapies have been used to treat depression and other psychological disorders, so if you want to be horny and happy, all you've got to do is hang out in the sun a little more. You might even get a nice tan out of it.

Dude gives his girlfriend the worst ever excuse for his mysterious hickey.

0
0

When a dude named Alex got a huge hickey from someone who wasn't his girlfriend, he didn't cover it up with makeup, a scarf, or a turtleneck. Instead, Alex concocted an excuse that would make the police worried.

“I told my dad yesterday I was gunna see you today and he thought it would be funny to jump on me to wake me up and he gave me a hickey, I was like really!!!! This is huge!!! My mom said I look like white trash," he wrote in a Snapchat text message (a feature which apparently exists).

Blaming your parents for everything is an excuse as old as time (just ask all therapists), but while it works well for things like having to go to a birthday party or repressing rage, hickeys should never be blamed on dads.

Even Eric Forman had a better excuse.

Next time, don't cheat. Or at least, don't be afraid of makeup.

People thought that Richard Dreyfuss was Julia Louis-Dreyfus's dad. He had fun with it.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' father passed away two days before Sunday night's Emmy Awards, as she revealed in her emotional, awesome speech while accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a comedy (her 5th consecutive Emmy in this category because she's the GOAT). But some of the fans who sent her condolences via social media confused her late dad for Jaws actor Richard Dreyfuss, who is very much alive.

Whoops.

In her memorable speech, the Veep star shook and cried as she said: "I'd like to dedicate this to my father, William Louis-Dreyfus, who passed away on Friday. I'm so glad that he liked Veep because his opinion was the one that really mattered."

A few people got confused.

Richard Dreyfuss was probably chilling at his mansion smoking a Cuban cigar, or whatever retired actors do, when he realized people were tweeting about his death. The 84-year-old actor was a good sport though. He tweeted back to let everyone know he's okay.

Then he added some follow-up thoughts.

He also revealed some personal information. (Was it a cigar he was smoking or something else?)

Then someone questioned his political affiliation, because why not. And he gave the perfect response.

I admit I hadn't given much thought to Richard Dreyfuss until today. But now, I can honestly say that I am happy he is alive, and hope he lives forever.

That spin class you love may be hurting your vagina.

0

Spinning is one of the biggest trends in fitness right now, but it turns out a lot of cycling might not be so good for your vagina.

If you're not careful, the type of cycling done in spin classes can lead to all sorts of problems for your genitals, including saddle sore and vaginitis. One study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that it could even desensitize your vagina, resulting in reduced sensation during sex.

The study (which only included very active cyclists who bike more than 10 miles per week) claims that the position of the bike is usually to blame for any vaginal problems it might cause. Handlebars positioned below the saddle are more likely to contribute to a decrease in genital sensation because of the way the pressure is distributed.

Active.com recommends wearing padded shorts and not increasing your mileage too suddenly to avoid any problems in the vaginal area, while Women's Healthsuggests keeping your core active while cycling to take some of the strain off your pelvis.

Take care of your lady parts, folks.

Taylor Swift sent a gift to the new 'America's Got Talent' winner, who flipped out.

Grace VanderWaal, the 12-year-old singer-songwriter who won America's Got Talent this season and was called "the next Taylor Swift" by Simon Cowell, received a gift of flowers from Swift herself over the weekend. And, because VanderWaal is twelve, she reacted as you might expect: by jumping up and down and screaming excitedly.

She certainly has the Taylor Swift "surprised" face down.

Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams got matching 'Game of Thrones' tattoos to make them sisters 4eva.

Game of Thrones' sisters Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) are now sisters in ink as well. At the Emmys red carpet, Turner revealed that they'd both gotten the same date tattooed on them—"07.08.09."

Williams posted an Instagram on September 13 of the two of them, and captioned it "💜💕07.08.09💕💜."

💜💕07.08.09💕💜

A photo posted by Maisie Williams (@maisie_williams) on

That date is the day that both women (then girls), booked their roles on the show. And the date is actually August 7, not July 8, because Williams, 19, and Turner, 20, are both British and England thinks they're better than us.

On Sunday night's Emmys red carpet, Turner told E!, "We've always kind of said we wanted matching tattoos."

Apparently Turner and her castmates made a plan during the first season of filming to get matching tattoos at the end of the series, but given the show's rapid turnover of human life, they figured they'd get theirs done before that.

"We don't know if we’re going to make it, so Maisie and I were like, 'Let's get these ones before anyone kills us.'" Good plan.

The 'Grease: Live' directors addressed that crazy 'Grease' fan theory at the Emmys.

0
0

Sunday night, the directors of Grease: Livewon the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, but more importantly, they chimed in on that crazy Grease fan theory that's been sweeping the internet recently. The one that says Sandy was actually dead the whole time.

And they're doing the hand jive.

If you haven't heard this shocking theory, let me break it down for you. Remember in "Summer Nights" when Sandy was drowning at the beach and Danny saved her life? ("She swam by me, she had a cramp.")

Well, what if Danny didn't actually rescue her, she died, and all of Grease was actually heaven, or a coma-induced dream?

This is the biggest mystery since JonBenet. Somebody call Keith Morrison!

He saved her life, she nearly drowned. Or did he?

If Sandy's dead, then it totally makes sense why she and Danny flew up to heaven in a convertible at the end of the movie. I always wondered WTF that was about.

I'm going to Heaven now. Bye.

Why else would the movie end like that? It couldn't be because that's more romantic than the realistic version where they have a shotgun wedding and Sandy resents Danny for her whole life because she gave up all her dreams. Then she spends the rest of her life crying while she sits at home and chain smokes two packs a day while Danny is constantly out cheating on her and dancing on cars while she's stuck at home raising a bunch of ungrateful yet musically gifted children. Yeah, I think the car flying to the clouds is a little sweeter.

There's also a theory that Danny is not actually attracted to women and belongs to a cult, but that's a whole other post.

I think this theory is legit, except for one thing, if Grease was actually heaven then why are the lyrics to "Grease Lightning" so dang filthy?

Also, if Sandy's time at Rydell High was just a dream, then that means she didn't actually have to change her entire personality to get a guy to like her. What? I've been basing my entire life on this premise!

Tell my therapist about it, Stud.

For what it's worth, Grease: Live directors Thomas Kail and Alex Rudzinski gave this weak-ass answer Sunday night in the Emmy pressroom, “She was very much alive, and her name was Julianne Hough. I will go on record as saying I love the internet.”

Gag, but to be fair, they were probably busy freaking out that the Bee Hive would come after them for beating Beyonce out of an award.

Grease: Live isn't a dream it's a nightmare.
