Zayn Malik opens up about having an eating disorder.

Zayn Malik broke the hearts of boy band fans all over the world when he left One Direction back in March of 2015, but it seems that he may actually have had a pretty good reason for his departure. Malik opened up about battling an eating disorder and his struggle with anxiety in his new autobiography, Zayn.

In his book, Malik revealed that during his final months as a member of One Direction, he was suffering from a crippling eating disorder. His appearance during that time led many people to believe he was dealing with drug addiction. Looking back at photos from November 2014 (right before his final tour with One Direction), he says, "I can see how ill I was." Malik revealed that since leaving the band, he's "come to terms" with the fact that he had an eating disorder. He writes:

“It wasn’t as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that, I’d just go for days – sometimes two or three days straight – without eating anything at all. It got quite serious, although at the time I didn’t recognize it for what it was. I think it was about control. I didn’t feel like I had control over anything else in my life, but food was something I could control, so I did.”

“I had lost so much weight I had become ill. The workload and the pace of life on the road put together with the pressures and strains of everything going on within the band had badly affected my eating habits.”

Malik has also recently made his struggles with anxiety public, opening up in an essay for Time magazine. After cancelling his debut UK solo performance back in June due to an anxiety attack, Zayn released a public statement telling the truth about why he wouldn't be performing. He says the response to his statement was overwhelmingly supportive and helped him realize he wasn't alone.

After I put out that statement I was blown away by just how many people got in contact, and how many people suffer from anxiety. It’s so common, and that’s not surprising, really. Life bombards us with pressure—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram… everywhere online there are unattainable body images that make us feel inadequate; competitive messages that bring us down; there’s pressure from our parents and our peers to excel—pressure everywhere. When that pressure is magnified by living your life in the limelight, it can be pretty tough to handle: There’s a lot of negative chat and hate out there. But what I found in the wake of my cancellation at Wembley wasn’t hate but a massive amount of support from fans—people who understood, kids who were in the exact same situation as I was.

We're glad Zayn finally feels like he can talk about this stuff.


Guy leaves his Kit Kat in an unlocked car, comes back to this hilarious apology note.

A student at Kansas State University named Hunter Jobbins learned to never, ever leave your Kit Kat sitting alone in an unlocked car. Not if you want to come back to a Kit Kat.

The note, written in the manic-scrawl of a hungry madman, read:

Saw Kit Kat in your cup holder [sic] I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked. Did not take anything other than the Kit Kat. I am sorry and hungry.

Jobbins' tweet, in which he lamented "College, man," obviously went viral. But dude—this has nothing to do with college. You leave a Kit Kat unprotected, it's going to get swiped.

Because the internet is glorious, Kit Kat responded.

Kit Kat better DM the kid more than a few candy coupons: the free press alone is worth ten cases of the king size candy bars. And those things are disgustingly massive.

James Breakwell, known on Twitter as @XplodingUnicorn, is known for his funny and intensely real observations about being a dad. They're earned him 674,000 followers, and this Halloween, he proved that he deserves every one of them. He kept a running live account of all the maddening, hilarious, and sometimes adorable facts of life when you're trying to celebrate this weird holiday with a bunch of little kids.

On the one hand, parenting seems exhausting. But on the other hand, candy.

Tinder's 'Swipe the Vote' reveals that the thirstiest people are #WithHer.

Tinder hooked up with Rock the Vote in 16 countries to find out which candidate thirsty millennials match with, and the results are in. After millions of swipes, Tinder's "Swipe the Vote" discovered that the world's singles are #WithHer.

The app made some interesting discoveries about how the candidates fare that might help predict the outcome as much as any other poll. The Tinder blog reports:

In the U.S.:

Hillary vs. Donald

  • 57% of American users matched with Hillary Clinton and 43% matched with Donald Trump, based on the issues alone.
  • 53% of Tinder users in the United States say they plan to vote for Hillary Clinton and 47% of users plan to vote for Donald Trump.

You'd think people on Tinder would have been moved by Trump's "Grab them by the pussy" tape, but they appear to be more sophisticated.

Tinder surprisingly broke it down by the issues, providing insights into the hot topics. A whopping majority of Tinder users lean liberal on issues like immigration, taxing the rich, and college tuition, showing how users of the hookup app are still Feeling the Bern.

The issues:

  • Citizenship for All: 57% of users prefer a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
  • Occupy Wall Street?: 65% of users in the United States want an increase in taxes for the 1%.
  • Free for All: 56% of users in the United States think college tuition should be free.

Tinder opened up the poll to see what people in other countries think about America's national nightmare. Most of the world is #WithHer, except—surprise!—Russia.

A whopping 71% of horny Russian people said they would vote for Trump, even though 76% of them agree with Hildawg on the issues.

Who would have thought that Tinder could provide insight into Kremlin-Trump relations?

Man goes to CVS dressed as giant CVS receipt and everyone completely loses it.

There may be nothing spookier than the length of a CVS receipt. Why are they are soooooooo long, no matter what you buy? It's one of life's great mysteries. That's why this costume is so genius: a man named Jeremy Schneider dressed up for Halloween as a 12-foot-long CVS receipt (this is about average length for a CVS receipt). And then he went to buy some Halloween candy, where else but at CVS! Understandably, everyone at the pharmacy completely lost their shit.

Watch here:

The best part is probably when the cashier scans the man's costume and then has a laughing fit when the barcode works. This is what Halloween is all about! Being silly. And also, spending money. At CVS.

Woman who ripped her cornea taking out contacts disappointed she must now wear glasses.

Meabh McHugh-Hill, 23, hates glasses, but probably not as much as she should now hate contacts. After keeping her lenses in for 10 hours (about two hours longer than recommended), part of her eye was ripped away went she attempted to remove them.

"I ran upstairs to take them out and stupidly, in a rush, I just pinched my eye first like I normally would do to get the contact out," she said, narrating her own personal Halloween horror story. "I should have moistened them first... my eye was so dry the contact had actually glued itself to my eyeball."

The result was a ripped cornea, a scar on her pupil, five days without exposure to light, so much pain, and the inability to ever wear contacts in that eye again.

At this point, isn't that good news?

Apparently not. "Meabh, who hates wearing glasses, would keep her lenses in for up to 12 hours at a time," writes the Mirror.

"My vision is okay now but my eye is still very sensitive," said the UK student, who admits "I was so, so lucky. I could have lost my sight."

But she hates glasses so much, she says "the biggest disappointment was being told that because of the corneal scarring I'm not now suitable for laser eye surgery."

Yeah, but at this point, isn't it hard not to see the safety of glasses through rose colored glasses? This woman's intense.

Here's Kim Kardashian's first post back on social media that she's already deleted.

Aside from her epic 15-car motorcade trip back to her apartment, Kim Kardashian West has stayed completely out of the public eye to recover from her Paris robbery ordeal. She turned her back on the social media sites that made her, and many of us thought she might never return. But as of 16 hours ago, Kim K is back.

In true Kim form, her Facebook post honors the medium she has become synonymous with: the selfie. She's promoting a collaboration she did with LuMee for a cellphone case that lights up for selfies. That's just. So. Kim.

Ironically, this pic isn't a selfie.

Obviously, her fans went nuts, and even comments on the post simply saying "welcome back" got thousands of likes. But for some reason, Kim has already taken the post down.

https://www.facebook.com/KimKardashian/photos/a.189505740612.258658.114696805612/10157747564570613/?type=3&theater

Why? Did she rethink how she wanted to promote or did she get cold feet?

That pic wasn't the only post she's put up, though. She also posted from her blog a copy of Kourtney's video of their old Halloween costumes, commenting "love these old videos!"

From Kourtney Kardashian -- Love these old videos!

Posted by Kim Kardashian West on Monday, October 31, 2016

Welp, looks like she took that down, too.

Why is she teasing us with posting and then deleting? Are the rumors that she has "no desire to return to her old life" true or is Kimmy back to her old tricks?

Church lady texts wrong number, gets roped into playing hilariously mean prank on herself.

A church employee named Karen was just trying to do the right thing for a sick parishioner when she made the terrible mistake of texting the wrong number. Of course, in 2016, texting a stranger is a crime punishable by public humiliation. Karen found herself unwittingly taking part in a cruel jape at her own expense (probably the product of a stoned mind). And the entire text conversation was uploaded to Imgur, where it's gone massively viral. You'll feel bad for laughing, but you'll still laugh.

It's worth noting there's an excellent chance this is fake. So many hilarious text conversations posted to the internet have turned out to be hoaxes. But don't let that ruin your fun.

America's 'cool parents' Barack and Michelle dance to 'Thriller' at White House Halloween event.

All the memories of your embarrassing parents chaperoning the middle school Halloween dance will come flooding back to you when you watch this video of America's mom and dad, FLOTUS and POTUS, Michelle and Barack Obama, dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at a White House Halloween event yesterday. Spoiler alert: They do not have all the choreography down.

Oh my gosh. They are so awkward and adorable. It's too much joy for my heart to take. FOUR MORE YEARS!

Offensive news segment asks if all black people eat fried chicken. Seriously.

0

Holy moly! On October 31, the last day of Black History Month in England, BBC Newsbeat shared a video for their "That Black British Feeling" series in which they asked and then investigated the ridiculously racist question, "Is it true all black people like chicken?" In response, I would like to ask them, "Are you freaking serious?"

Their scientific research seems to involve just asking a bunch of people, some black, some white (why would they ask white people?) whether or not they think that all black people (even vegetarians, BBC?) like chicken.

Are you sure about that, bro?

The BBC Newsbeat Twitter account deleted their first tweet with the video, which read "Black people and fried chicken—is there any truth in it?" and then, because apparently they didn't think it was bad enough the first time, sent it out AGAIN, only this time with the text, "We're talking about being black and British and the stereotypes you might face, like this one."

Twitter's response to the video was, as you might expect, not entirely positive.

Well, if cartoons say it's true…

Sigh.

Please join BBC Newsbeat next week, when they delve into the question, "Are our viewers really as dumb as we think?"

Donald Trump may have written an erotic novel about his tower.

0
0

The Huffington Postmanaged to find evidence that back in 2012, Donald Trump was billed as the author of an erotic novel entitled Trump Tower. The novel now accredits Jeffrey Robinson as it's author, but early promotional materials describe the book as "the debut novel from ‘New York Times’-bestselling author, international business mogul, television superstar, and New York City icon, Donald J. Trump." What the f—

The book revolves around a building manager who was responsible for keeping Trump Tower running smoothly despite having to deal with his many hot, rich, sex-starved tenants who can't stop boinking each other. Also, much of the sex in the novel is nonconsensual. Oh yeah, there is also a murder that happens? And both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton make cameos in it. Sound like a real ride.

It appears that Jeffrey Robinson was acting as Trump's ghost writer, but before the book was published they decided to drop Trump's "author credit" and just deem Robinson the writer (the original cover of the book indicated that it was written by "Donald J.Trump with Jeffrey Robinson"). Although Trump probably didn't actually write Trump Tower, he did give it a glowing endorsement on his Twitter back in 2012, and he does hail the book on it's back cover.

Todd Van Luling, who originally reported on this story for The Huffington Post, actually read the novel and pulled out a few particularly confusing and disturbing excerpts to illustrate the "incredibly sexist" nature of the book. Here is my personal favorite blurb:

Just then, Ricky heard some noise down the hall. He followed it to the second bedroom, opened the door, and saw a naked guy on top of a naked girl. He didn’t know either of them. “Oy.” The guy looked over but didn’t stop. “Hey Ricky, I’m Bugs. She’s Shari.” “Don’t mind me.” Ricky stood there. Shari looked up, half-waved, and brought her feet up. “Pleased to make your acquaintance.” He watched them for a moment, then stepped into the room and got into bed with them. “When you’re done with him, luv,” Ricky said to Shari, “you get on top of me. Just be careful this bleeding ankle bracelet don’t leave no marks.”

You can still purchase Trump Tower at, you guessed it, Trump Tower.

Which ex is Taylor Swift throwing shade at in this new song she wrote for Little Big Town?

Ever since Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris broke up over the summer, and then Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston broke up in September, the big question on everybody's mind has been: "When are we going to get some new sweet, sweet Tay Tay break up jams?" Well, it appears that the wait is over. Kind of. Taylor apparently wrote a new song for the country band, Little Big Town, and it's definitely about an ex.

At a live press conference in Nashville on Tuesday, Little Big Town revealed that Tay penned the lead single of their new album, a song called "Better Man." The band said it was the first time that Taylor had ever pitched a song to someone else before, but she sent it to them because she thought it would work well with their harmonies.

Band member Karen Fairchild said that the song was "very special" to Taylor, and Phillip Sweet added that performing it "felt right." "We've known Taylor since she was in high school... she's a dear friend of ours," he added.

The reveal comes at around 12:50 in the video.

Live At The Mother Church.

Posted by Little Big Town on Tuesday, November 1, 2016

So now the question is: Which man is the "Better Man" Taylor is singing about? Popular opinion (read: internet rumors) seem to believe it's Calvin Harris, due to the disappointment and disillusionment in the song's lyrics.

You can listen to the song below and decide for yourself.

High-speed camera catches paper exploding under pressure from the hydraulic press.

The delightful Finnish couple behind the Hydraulic Press Channel have returned to the material that first made them go viral—exploding paper. About a year ago, the couple attempted to debunk the idea that any size paper can only be folded seven times, only to have the paper explode, leaving a solid, melted material behind. This time, the paper isn't being folded (they crush a deck of cards and a paperback novel), but they did bring a super high-speed Phantom camera to show the explosion in slow motion.

The five women who are still voting for Trump speak out.

With his campaign so imbued with scandals of sexism and sexual assault, it's hard for many imagine why women (nasty, or not) still support the oozing pimple that is Donald J. Trump.

Cosmopolitan grabbed five women by their political views to discuss what it's like to be a part of the lonely number of women still in Trump's corner—a place that sounds very unsafe.

Surprisingly, these young women make no mention of Hillary Clinton's flaws, but rather defend The Donald's "locker room talk."

Female Trump supporters have been bullied and called names, which isn't just Trump's thing.

One week left.

This guy thought it would be funny to dress as a bottle of roofies for Halloween.

0

Well, here's another offensive costume to add to the list: some guy thought it would be hilarious to dress up as a bottle of Rohypnol (a.k.a. roofies/the date rape drug) for Halloween, because haha rape, right?

On Saturday night at a Charleston, SC bar, Twitter user Jim Lohmar tweeted pictures of some random dude wearing a prescription pill bottle costume with a label reading Rohypnol, along with the text "Strong stuff from Guy Who Thinks This Is Funny."

What's got two thumbs and awful sense of humor? THAT GUY.

The unidentified guy clearly spent a lot of time coming up with "jokes" for the label, including making it out to one "Joe Blow Horny" (probably not his real name). The directions for use read as follows:

1) Give two tablets to attractive unaware girl.

2) Await drooling, drowsiness or unconsciousness.

3) Take home, bring friends, enjoy show.

Jesus Christ on a cracker, if anyone was looking for a guy without one single shred of decency left in his entire being, congratulations, he's been found! But wait, that's not all, because there were MORE instructions on the back of the costume.

1) No more than 15 guys per girl.

2) Exceeding 165 lbs recommended dosage 4 tablets or more.

3) Not for use near video equipment.

4) NO means YES.

He seems great. I bet he's single.

In response to people tweeting at him, Lohmar explained the situation a bit more, like how the guy thought people should just, you know, lighten up a bit. It's just rape, after all.

The only thing that could make this costume remotely funny would be if Mr. Horny threw himself right into a big heap of trash.

Mr. Horny, you are hereby banned from Halloween for the next five years. Now go home and think about what you've done.

Watch Grace Jones school a sexist reporter back in 1985.

Footage has been unearthed of '80s icon Grace Jones enduring an incredibly sexist interview in 1985. Many of this interviewer's questions would try the best of us, but cool customer Jones doesn't even have to lean forward or remove her sunglasses to put him in his place.

Some of his questions included:

  • "You come across as very aggressive, is that the case?"
  • "Are you feminine? Do you like being masculine?"
  • "Does [your masculinity] carry over to your sexual preference?"

In 1985, Grace Jones put this incredibly sexist interviewer in his place http://thetab.com/us/2016/08/22/sexist-questions-49398

Posted by Babe on Sunday, October 30, 2016

The Australian interviewer tried to corner Jones into admitting that she was masculine ("what does that mean?") or that she was bi-sexual. Jones would have none of it. Every answer of hers is full-on YASSS, but maybe the best one is her response to the question "Do you find women attractive?"

I find women attractive, I think if I didn't I wouldn't find myself attractive. One needs to begin with themselves and go from there.

This 17-year-old model was bullied for her eyebrows. Now they're making her rich.

17-year-old Puerto Rican model Natalia Castellar was bullied during her (earlier) teenage years for her bold, dark eyebrows. In a new interview, she tells W Magazine, "When I was younger they were all anyone would point out. I was bullied terribly because of how thick and long they were, so I wanted to shave them down." But thankfully, she didn't shave them down. Now they're part of a look that's earning her big bucks on the modeling circuit.

Move over, Cara Delevigne. There's a new set of bewitching face caterpillars in town.

At 17, Castellar has already appeared in major campaigns for Mansur Gavriel and NARS. She also has a massive social media following, with more than 34,000 Instagram fans. They even send her fan art.

Current obsession.

It must take a lot of ink to fill in those brows. But despite some trolls, she's learned to love her most distinctive feature. She told W:

It wasn’t until thick brows started trending that I started feeling more confident. Now I don’t care if they stay trendy or not, I love my eyebrows. They set me aside from other models. They’re my trademark, and I wish I would have embraced them sooner.

Well said. We've got a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of Castellar in the future. She's got a great look, a great attitude, and sweat never gets in her eyes. She's unstoppable.

Friday feels.
