Researchers from a Swiss university hospital have proven what we've known all along: beer goggles, those metaphoric goggles that make others appear more attractive than they are after a few beers, actually exist.

Lead researcher Matthias Liechti said the study was important because of the lack of scientific evidence.

Although many people drink beer and know its effects through personal experience, there is surprisingly little scientific data.

Researchers tested 60 healthy men and women who drank alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer. They were looking for sexual arousal and facial recognition. What did they find? That yes, the people who drank the alcoholic beer actually felt more sexual arousal, and they were quicker to recognize happy faces.

The study also found that beer made women less shy about sex. But, and this is a big but for anyone that got excited by that last sentence, the study found that women who drink alcohol were quicker to respond positively to sexual images, but they didn't necessarily become sexually aroused. So calm down horn-balls.

We tell you this as a warning: be careful what you do at your office's next happy hour outing. Jess from accounting didn't suddenly become hotter. Drink responsibly.

On Monday night's Full Frontal, Samantha Bee took down America's birthday clown Jimmy Fallon for his kid gloves treatment of tiny-handed Donald Trump.

“Aww, Trump can be a total sweetheart with someone who has no reason to be terrified of him,” Bee joked. “I noticed there were no cutaway shots to The Roots. I wonder why.”

Samantha Bee is the undisputed Queen of Late Night. And no, not just by default, but because she has consistently funny, pointed jokes that don't try to humanize a human hate crime.

Watch the whole segment, which takes down the rest of NBC and the media along with Fallon.

Bee eviscerated NBC for cursing us with The Apprentice and handing Trump 90 minutes of goofy publicity on Saturday Night Live.

“I guess because ratings matter more than brown people,” Bee said. “Sure, he’s making life palpably dangerous for Muslims and immigrants, but hey, he’s good entertainment!"

Kim Kardashian is known for many things, but one thing she's not known for is modesty. It feels like she's shown basically everything you can see of a person's anatomy, but as it turns out, she was indeed going to great lengths to hide something from us: her nipples. Well, no more. She's freed the nipple!

She wrote about it in a blog entry on her website. You could read it there, but you'll have to pay, because of course KimK makes you pay to read her blog.

I have always loved sheer—I just don't GAF, LOL.

We see that Miss West.

Earlier this year, in a different subscription-only blog post, Kim expounded on the many years of taping and gaffing her breasts to hide the nips and push the girls up.

I definitely had to share my tape secret with you guys!! It's my secret trick to have perfect cleavage in photos,' she advised her fans... You tape them up so they are super lifted. It takes a little work but trust me it's all worth it LOL... I've used everything from duct tape to packing tape to masking tape and I think that the best I found is gaffer's tape... It sticks the best! Make sure you don't have any lotion or oils on when you're lifting your boobs up with the tape... Just brace yourself for when it's time to take it off LOL.

No more, says the "newly" nipple-friendly Kardashian. Even though there's a very active "Free the Nipple" campaign popping up on college campuses and online, something tells us KimK just likes getting naked. We're OK with that.

George H.W. Bush, father of W. and Jeb! (and other children), was outed by a Kennedy on his decision to vote for a Clinton. That's right, Republican former president (and ~*REAGAN'S*~ VP!!) George Herbert Walker Bush is rumored to be voting for Hillary Clinton.

A Facebook post from one of JFK's nieces, former Maryland lieutenant governor Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, featured a picture with the former president, captioned, "The President told me he's voting for Hillary!!"

The Legion ofDeplorables on Twitter have already taken to condemning the ailing former president and calling him a cuck.

Deplorable, horrible people are even predicting the former president's death, in addition to Clinton's.

Only 48 days to go.

Some of us barely open our eyes before we stumble out of our homes in the morning, but Ron Alston and his three-year-old daughter, Aliyah, have a different sort of start to their days. Every morning, Alston and Aliyah stand in front of the mirror and practice positive affirmations about being respectful and working hard.

Alston, a program director at the YMCA who supervises 40 to 60 children a day, posted a video of one of the morning motivational sessions on his Facebook page, DFG (Destined For Greatness) Health and Wellness, which has now been shared over 330,000 times and watched 12 million times.

In an interview with Babble, Alston said:

I want her to understand and experience the world from her perspective and then learn to cope with the feelings that come with each interaction. I feel that the most important thing I do is encourage her to try.

When asked why he decided to film and post it, Alston said:

I was inspired to film the moment between Aliya and I just so that she can see it later in her life when she is older. This is something we do everyday in the morning before we leave the house, no matter what, although the affirmations do change and the pep talk in the beginning may change depending on what is happening or has happened.

So go ahead and try this at home, if you want, and feel free to change the affirmations to reflect your own life, like "I will not fall asleep at my desk after lunch" and "I will be positive, even if it means not secretly wishing a plague on my subway enemy who always eats tuna for breakfast."

Baby steps.

Chris Pratt and Stephen Colbert chatted on Monday night's Late Show about working together in 2003, Pratt's old job as a coupon salesman, and how his wife Anna Farris' cooking prowess foretells the eventual return of "Fat Pratt."

The last time the dudes had seen each other was while filming the Strangers With Candy movie, and despite the non-reaction of the audience, that movie is amazing.

Check out baby Pratt from 13 years ago, when he was just 24. Pratt didn't really get famous until years later (as Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recs), and he tells Colbert he's glad he wasn't famous at a young age, explaining, "It's important to make your mistakes in relative obscurity."

How cute is Chris Pratt, right? He could mow down a street full of puppies and America would be all, "He probably didn't see them." Just love him.

Jasminka Velkovska was undergoing surgery three-years-ago in Skopje, Macedonia when, in an effort to remove cancer from her colon, they reattached it to her vagina.

How does a doctor let that happen? Did they think they were performing surgeryon a chicken?

While I was recovering, doctors came and asked me if I was passing gas, and I said yes, but it’s coming out of my vagina. They told me that it would soon pass and I would be ok, but stuff had started to come out of my vagina and I was feeling scared and it was all very unpleasant.

She complained that she wasfarting out of her vaginaand they told her it would pass? That pun better not have been intentional.

Doctors eventually agreed to perform an x-ray (images at the Daily Mail) and yep, her colon was connected to her vag. Plus, they still hadn't removed the carcinoma.

How does a doctor even deliver that kind of news? I'm sorry, you still have cancer, and we randomly connected your tubes like a habitrail. Here's a bunch of cranberry pills.

To add insult to vaganus, the hospital only agreed to compensate her for about $33,500, and then reportedly "refused to pay the entire total." According to the Daily Mail, she will sue the hospital if she doesn't get the entire total.

Unbelievable. If a mistake like that happened in the U.S., that woman would be a millionaire.

In July, Cosmopolitan UK and SEAT announced that they were creating a car especially for women. The press release tosses around phrases like "#cargoals" and "Bye, Felicia!" to get women excited about buying a very expensive vehicle made just for them. You might be thinking, "why are we gendering cars?" No idea.

After a grueling two months of anticipation, SEAT Mii by Cosmopolitan was revealed at FashFest on Thursday. So what does this car offer the modern woman? Period absorbent seats? Tinted windows so weird males can't catcall you through them? Tires big enough to crush the patriarchy?

Nope. The car is purple (disappointing, as the color was described as "EVERYTHING" in all caps in the press release), the headlights look like they are lined with eyeliner, and Cosmo boasts that it's great for "impromptu karaoke performances, last-minute wardrobe changes, dramatic gossip sessions and emergency lunch-hour kips."

Nothing about the car screams "practical," and I personally know many more women who use their cars for driving their children to school and getting themselves to work than for dramatic gossip sessions. After all, we are real women with shit to do and not characters on Sex and the City.

To add insult to injury, guess who drove the car down the runway? A MAN.

The SEAT Mii joins the ranks of the insulting "Bic For Her" pens that were mocked relentlessly, except this car is bigger, more expensive, and no one will buy it as a gag gift.

H&M has pulled all plus-size clothing from some of its stores in New York City. A representative for the brand told Revelist that since the company has expanded its product line to include home goods and beauty products, it no longer has room to carry plus-size clothes in 11 of its NYC locations.

H&M's decision comes at a time when plus-size clothing is a hot topic in the fashion industry. Fashion expert and Project Runway host Tim Gunn recently wrote an essay in The Washington Postcriticizing American fashion designers for failing to design outfits for average women (the kind who aren't fashion models). Most designers don't make their clothes above a size 12, but research from Washington State University has shown that the average American woman wears a size 18. In an effort to subvert this trend, Christian Siriano recently featured five plus-size models in his show at New York Fashion Week.

H&M itself featured a campaign with plus-size model Ashley Graham earlier this year, but the ads included fine print that stated plus sizes were only available online.

Seems a little bit hypocritical, no? And why would a clothing retailer alienate a such a large number of potential customers by getting rid of the clothes that fit them? Only H&M knows the answers.

Not cool, H&M. You have disappointed Tim Gunn.

Jimmy Fallon's interview with Donald Trump last week was the hair ruffle seen 'round the world. Fallon's cutesy fun with a wannabe fascist drew ire from Twitter, Samantha Bee, and people afraid of normalizing racist rhetoric.

To adhere to both the Federal Election Commission's law of equal time, and for some good ol' fashioned ratings, Fallon had Hillary on the show Monday night for an equally cutesy good time. He welcomed her with a surgical mask for a bit about pneumonia, which is as "edgy" as Fallon ever gets.

But Hillary made a point to bring up real issues and hit back at Trump for his bigotry. (Unfortunately, she doesn't go as far as to subtweet Fallon for not doing so.) She brings up Trump's birtherism and attacking the Khan family, probably knowing that Fallon wouldn't do it himself.

Finally, to get back to the level of conversation he is comfortable with, Fallon brought out letters from children, giving Hillary campaign advice and hair tips.

48 days until Election Day.

11:28 a.m. EST: The plot thickens. Page Six is reporting Angelina Jolie hired a private investigator to spy on Brad Pitt on the set of his latest film—and allegedly busted him "cozying up" to his co-star, Marion Cotillard.

Pitt and Cotillard are filming Allied together. Jolie and Pitt famously met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, at which point he was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

According to Page Six's source, Jolie hired the PI to watch her hubby after concerns he was "fooling around with [Cotillard] on set."

10:39 a.m EST: Holy moly, could this be true? TMZ is reporting that Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Brad Pitt. According to TMZ's sources, the final straw was a conflict over the kids, namely that Jolie is upset with some of Pitt's parenting methods. Jolie cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason, and not just "we have six goddamn kids and we are so very stressed and tired."

Jolie, who has hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, is reportedly not looking for spousal support. She is, however, seeking physical custody of the kids, asking that Pitt retain joint legal (but not physical) custody, and that he be given visitation rights.

Is this really happening? Is there no such thing as true love? And more importantly, did writer Missy Baker somehow psychically make this happen by with a post about celebrity couples that she wants to see get back together?

Check Someecards for more details as this massive breaking news develops.

Emma Watson is not playing around when it comes to her privacy. The 26-year-old actress's legal team sent a cease and desist letter to a seedy celeb gossip blog that posted racy pictures of her in a sheer blouse with no bra underneath, TMZ reported. In response, the site, Celeb Jihad, had no choice but to remove the pictures, which were allegedly taken by Watson's stylist.

It's not clear how the website ended up with the private pictures, but that's not relevant to her right to have them pulled down. The letter from Watson's lawyers claims that although the pictures were taken by Watson's stylist, the rights to them were given to Watson. Since Watson owns the pictures and the copyright, so it's a violation for any site to post them without permission. So suck it, website.

News of the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt split (#Branxit) is blowing up people's phones like an emergency flood warning. Adding fuel to the fire (and mixing the hell out of metaphors), is news that the divorce is allegedly due to Pitt's on-set affair with Marion Cotillard, which was supposedly uncovered by a private eye hired by Jolie.

Some people are still processing the news, others have gone to have a lie-down, and a lot have already finished heating their takes up in the oven and posted them on Twitter. And you better believe the Jen Aniston memes are in full effect.

In a tweet on Monday night, Donald Trump, Jr. just compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles, because people fleeing war are just trying to taste the rainbow, right?

A lot of people on Twitter found comparing people fleeing war torn countries to poisoned countries rather tasteless (no pun intended). However, the best response came from the poor candy company implicated in all this for their classy handling of the matter. As reported by AdWeek, Denise Young, Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Wrigley Americas, the parent company of Skittles, said in the statement:

Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy... We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing.

Whether you vote for Trump or Clinton this election, we call all agree that whomever wrote that statement for Young deserves a raise.

Not for nothing, roughly 4.8 million refugees have left war-torn Syria. The United States has accepted 1,285 Syrian refugees. But yes, someone evil lurks within those 1,285 (mostly children) Skittles.

26-year-old Margot Robbie is officially a cougar. According to her recent interview with Elle, Robbie accidentally almost seduced a high schooler while filming her latest commercial for Calvin Klein’s Deep Euphoria perfume. Between takes, she was hanging around the male models when this happened:

I was chatting with them at one point, and I could tell I was starting to flirt with them. I said to one of the guys, “What are you doing after this?” and he says, “Well, I’ve got to go back to school.” And I was like, “Oh, cool! College?” No. Not college. [High] school. I thought, “Oh. My. God. You’re 17 years old!

Oh yeah, he probably haaaaaated that.

She went on to add that the experience was bizarre because she is often the youngest one on set.

So many of my friends are older, and the people I work with are older. I guess I've gotten used to hearing people say, "Oh, you're so young," even though I never really agreed with that. Now I get their perspective. And it does feel bizarre, having someone in your work space who's so much younger than you.

Yeah, in Hollywood 26 is like 36, 17 is like 27, and the closer you are to being an actual infant, the better.

Now that word is out about the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split, some folks are imagining that Jennifer Aniston, Pitt's first wife, must be somewhere pounding Smart Water and gloating. But Brad and Jen divorced over 10 years ago, and she's long since moved on with her life. On top of that, she's now happily married to Justin Theroux, who most people probably wouldn't kick out of bed for eating crackers topped with raw rotten meat. There's really no reason she'd be happy to hear about her ex-husband's divorce, especially given that the Jolie-Pitts have six children (breaking up a family is rarely cause for celebration).

Actually, Aniston seems like a really empathetic person, the kind who wouldn't really feel pleasure in the face of someone else's pain. She might feel some sense of vindication (who knows) that she wasn't the only wife Pitt decided to cheat on, but she's got to be so goddamn sick of being dragged into the drama over and over throughout the years.

Some people act as if they think she's been doing nothing but staring at her phone and pining for Pitt since they divorced. SORRY, JEN (wait, she's not reading this). But she'll get through this divorce, too, and emerge triumphant once again (probably easier this time since the breakup doesn't actually involve her).

On Monday night, Donald Trump's eldest son made his father proud with a dumb, awful tweet comparing human refugees to Skittles candy. Now it turns out that without refugees, Donald Jr. wouldn't have a photo of Skittles for his meme.

Donald Jr. isn't just guilty of reducing humans to sugar balls, but also stealing the photo from Flickr.

"This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," David Kittos, the photographer behind the bowl of Skittles, told the BBC.

"In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees."

As a former refugee himself, Kittos is disturbed by his photo being appropriated by the Trump campaign.

"I am now a British citizen but I am Greek-Cypriot by birth and in 1974 I was a refugee because of the Turkish occupation," he explains, "I was six years old. We lived in the area of Cyprus that is now under Turkish military control. We had to leave everything behind overnight. Our property and our possessions."

The photo of the bowl of Skittles was lifted from Kittos's Flickr page—he holds all the rights, and didn't even put that particular picture up for sale.

He is currently deciding whether or not to take legal action against the Trump campaign:

I was thinking about getting lawyers involved but I don't know if I have the patience.This isn't about the money for me. They could have just bought a cheap image from a micro stock library. This is pure greed from them. I don't think they care about my feelings. They should not be stealing an image full stop.

Donald Trump Jr. needs to think about the people behind the candy. Or at the very least, subscribe to a stock photo service.
