Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach met with President-Elect Donald Trump on Monday at Trump's private golf club in Bedminster, NJ. Kobach is a contender to be Trump's Homeland Security secretary, but after this incident, his chances might be slim. An Associated Press photographer took a photo of the two men, in which Kobach is holding a document he brought, titled "Kobach Strategic Plan for First 365 Days."

The text of the secret plan is clearly visible in the high-res photograph, and contains references to a border wall, "extreme vetting" of "high-risk aliens," a complete shutout of Syrian refugees, and other suggestions that would sexually arouse Steve Bannon. But the real takeaway was that for a president who based his entire campaign on not making Hillary Clinton's mistakes with information security, this looks bad. And of course, people on Twitter noticed. He are their funniest reactions:

Cashier who went viral singing Maxwell's song gets to join him onstage and kills it.

Lucas Holliday has a lot to be grateful for this year. The 26-year-old Dollar General cashier from Lansing, Michigan became a viral sensation last week after he was filmed singing Maxwell's "Ascension" while checking in items at work. Then on Friday night, he experienced a whole different kind of fame when Maxwell invited him to sing the song with him on stage during his Detroit concert. Holliday absolutely killed it, proving himself a true star.

You can watch Maxwell's footage of the duet here:

The R&B singer also posted these pics of the two of them on stage. Holliday looks like the happiest human on earth:

And here is more footage of the duet filmed by a concert-goer:

Holliday was nothing if not grateful for the opportunity, grinning widely throughout the performance. After, he told ABC: "I'm forever grateful. Whatever happens from here on out, I'm forever grateful for this moment."​

And the collaboration seems to have restored at least several audience members' faith in humanity:

For proof that the cashier has an incredible voice in any venue, here's the original video that catapulted him to overnight stardom:

Alicia Silverstone (and her butt) explain why you shouldn't buy wool in new video for PETA.

Aside from starring in one of arguably one of the greatest teen movies of our time (Clueless), Alicia Silverstone is also known for being a big advocate for animal rights. In a new PSA for PETA, Silverstone speaks out about the ethical problems with the wool industry (with a little help from her butt).

The anti-wool PETA ad highlights the cruelty that sheep sometimes have to endure in order for their wool to be made into sweaters. She says in the video:

Wool in general has not been thought about…the biggest thing people say to me is, Oh, but they just shear the sheep, they don’t kill the sheep. It’s not like that, it’s on the slaughterhouse floor where there’s a conveyor belt and it’s just so fast, the shearing process, that they get cut, they get harmed and they’re seriously wounded and there’s no care for them when they’re wounded. It’s just move on to the next. These are creatures that, to the people who are doing this, are just objects.

Silverstone is so intent on stopping the cruelty towards sheep that she even posed nude for the ad, in a still image that reads "I'd rather go naked than wear wool." Talk about being committed to a cause. She concludes the ad by asking people to join her in never buying wool again.

It's like I always say: If you're going to show off your butt in public, at least do it for a good cause. (Okay fine, I've never said that before. It just seems appropriate here, okay?)

Ashton Kutcher didn't have a home for a year after his split from Demi Moore, still lived better than us.

Ashton Kutcher may be crushing at life these days, but even he has had his lows. In 2011, after his split from ex-wife Demi Moore, the actor lived in Airbnbs for a year, he revealed this weekend. Stars: occasionally living in other people's homes because it's cheaper than a hotel, just like us!

“Right after I got divorced … I didn’t have a house,” the 38-year-old actor said while speaking at the Airbnb Open 2016 in Los Angeles on Saturday, US Weekly reports.“So I just started living in Airbnbs.”

Before you feel too bad for the guy, these were most likely the fancy Airbnb rentals that the rest of us like to look at but can't afford. We're talking over $50 a night and clean bathrooms, probably. Maybe even a mint on the pillow. You know, luxury!

The former That '70s Show star also shared a story about how one Airbnb host helped him through a particularly rough time. “I went to Europe, and I flew in and got in in the middle of the night. I arrived at the Airbnb at 2 a.m," he recalled. "The person had left me dinner and a glass of wine. It was … the magic and the love that I needed in that moment. I was shocked that someone would care that much about a total stranger.”​ (Not to be cynical, Ashton, but it can't have hurt that you're super-famous.)

Kutcher is living it up these days in the home he shares with wife Mila Kunis and their 2-year-old daughter(and another one on the way!) To think that just five years ago the man was sleeping in a fancy bed that didn't belong to him. What a story of triumph over adversity!

And another one bites the dust.Glee star Naya Rivera is filing for divorce from her husband of two years, actor Ryan Dorsey, Us Weekly reports.

"After much consideration, we have made the decision to end our marriage," said the couple in a forced, awkward form letter joint statement to Us. "Our priority is and always will be our beautiful son that we share together. We will continue to be great co-parenting partners for him. We ask for respect and privacy for our family during this difficult time."

Ah yes, that's what they all say. The Los Angeles County Court confirmed that Rivera is seeking primary custody of their 14-month-old son, Josey, with visitation rights for her ex. Let's hope they can all work things out.

Celebrities offer support for Kanye West after his hospitalization.

After canceling his remaining Saint Pablo tour dates on Monday, Kanye West was hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center for exhaustion, according to CNN. The medical intervention allegedly came after the LAPD responded to a disturbance call made by his trainer, Harley Pasternak.

At the hospital, West was evaluated for severe sleep deprivation. Dude has been working hard, touring for a long time, and then there was the robbery his wife Kim Kardashian West went through in Paris earlier this year, which had to be pretty stressful for her whole family (putting it mildly).

Anyway, whatever the reason for the hospitalization, other celebrities are showing their support for the 39-year-old rapper on social media.

Jimmy Kimmel's 'politically correct' Thanksgiving went much better than yours will.

Thanksgiving is this week and you can sense the neurosis in the air as families prepare to come together to break bread and argue with each other before falling asleep on the couch from consuming too many calories in one sitting. So magical. On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel had a bunch of kids on his show to tell the story of the first Thanksgiving with a few minor adjustments to ensure the retelling be a little more inclusive. Pack away those pesky micro-aggressions for a hot sec and enjoy the "Politically Correct Thanksgiving Pageant."

Were those kids actually participating in PC culture...or just appropriating PC culture? Ugh, so problematic.

Gigi Hadid half-apologizes for impression, says Melania Trump 'understands show business.'

In what was unquestionably an attempt at comedy, model Gigi Hadid did an impression of future first lady Melania Trump on Sunday as she hosted the American Music Awards.

Despite the awkward set up, some people loved the reference to Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama, while some people hated it—so goes the comedy game.

Still, the controversy got a little too heated for Hadid, and she took to Twitter (via a handwritten note), to apologize.

Hadid explains that she's been ridiculed by awkward comedy "skits" herself, and Sunday night was her own opportunity, at last, to a deliver a clumsy impression of a popular model who hangs out with someone more famous than herself.

I was honored to host the AMA's last night and to work with some of the most respected writers in the business. I removed or changed anything in the script that I felt took the joke too far, and whether or not you choose to see it, what remained was done in good humor and with no bad intent. I too have been the center of a nationally televised comedy skit that poked fun at my actions, and was able to find the humor in it. I believe Melania understands show business and the way shows are written and run.

I apologize to anyone that I offended & have only the best wishes for our country.

While she apologized to anyone she offended, she also defended herself by saying she edited out parts of the sketch that were more offensive.

Does anyone else want to see the unedited script?

The "most respected writers in the business" sound like they may have come up with a better set up and, we can only hope, a few better jokes for the impression.

For instance, this joke about Melania's plagiarism, delivered by the Donald himself, is way better.

Next time she breaks out the impression, Hadid should really hire whoever wrote that one (hint: it wasn't Donald).

Seth Meyers points out that Trump tweeting about Pence's 'Hamilton' kerfuffle was a distraction tactic.

On Monday night, Late Night host Seth Meyers addressed President elect Donald Trump's tirade against Broadway show Hamilton, pointing out that it was just an attempt to distract people from the fact that the day before, he settled his fraud case for $25 million instead of going to trial. But guess what? It worked—almost.​

Meyers focused on the actual fraud allegations against Trump University, including pushing students hard to enroll, even targeting single mothers who needed tuition money for food.

Trump, who stated multiple times that he wouldn't settle, blamed the settlement on how busy he was as President elect. As Meyers pointed out, "That's like me saying, 'I would love to fight Conor McGregor, but unfortunately I'm really busy with my late night show. You lucked out, Conor!'"

Watch Anna Kendrick, Billy Eichner and James Corden cover 14 pop songs in five minutes.

Anna Kendrick and Billy Eichner joined James Corden on The Late Late Show on Monday to put on an extremely impressive mini-musical depicting the entire cycle of one woman's life through pop music. "The Soundtrack to Growing Up" is the successor to the wildly popular "Soundtrack to a Love Story" video that Kendrick and Corden filmed over the summer, because these two just love to sing at each other.

The entire sketch was certainly ambitious, and featured 14 different pop songs from the 1964 hit "Going to the Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups to Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money." The trio also utilized 10 different sets over the course of the five and a half minute musical.

However, there are a few life moments that probably could have been added.

When Kendrick and Corden get hit with student loans post graduation, they could have sang, "How Do I Live?" by LeAnn Rimes. When Eichner switched into his grey wig, "Old Man" by Neil Young may have been a good choice. And when Corden and Kendrick get into their first fight, Corden should just start belting out, "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel.

Crispin Young Wilson, a hardware tech in Northern Oregon, moonlights as an artist creating remarkable night skies. When her friend's son Ben was afraid of the dark and refused to sleep in his room on his own, Crispin created the ultimate galaxy mural to help calm his fears.

The result is a glow-in-the-dark starry night that instantly turned his bedroom into a planetarium.

Crispin assured her new fans that grown ups could get them too.

The reaction was everything she could have hoped for.

Crispin created a website for her work, cosmicmurals.com. If you live in Oregon, you can start stargazing indoors.

The only galaxy there is to fear is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Kim Kardashian cancels her first public appearance since Paris robbery to be with Kanye.

Kim Kardashian West was scheduled to make her first public appearance since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris last month, but she had a slight change in plans when her husband Kanye was hospitalized shortly after he abruptly canceled his remaining tour dates.

According to Page Six, Kim was on her way to New York Monday to attend The Angel Ball, a black tie gala honoring her late father, Robert Kardashian. She turned around and flew right back to LA after learning of Kanye's medical emergency and subsequent hospitalization. Police in LA were reportedly sent to Kanye to perform a "welfare check," and ended up calling paramedics, who transported him to the hospital.

Kim's mother Kris Jenner and her sisters Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian still appeared at the gala. When someone asked Jenner how Kanye was doing, she replied, "Exhausted!" (TMZreported that he was being evaluated for severe sleep deprivation, so I guess that makes sense.)

Let's hope he gets back to normal soon. (Or, you know, as close to normal as Kanye can get.)

Accidental movie actor shares hilarious story of his awkward escalator ride with Jennifer Aniston.

$

On Reddit's infamous "Today I F*cked Up" subreddit, an anonymous dude shared a story of the time he ruined at least part of Jennifer Aniston's day. And Gerard Butler's. And probably a production assistant's, because someone completely failed to stop this guy from busting into a movie shoot and probably got fired for it.

Anyway, the story goes like this:

I had plans to meet up with some friends in Atlantic City for the weekend. I got a late start, so they were already gambling somewhere in the Taj Mahal. I had been there once before, but didn't really remember the layout, except for a long escalator that led down to the casino from the lobby.

I parked my car and walked quickly from the parking deck to the lobby. On my way to the lobby, there was a crowd of people gathered behind a security guard who was holding some caution tape across the hallway. He let a bunch of people in and, of course, I squeezed through as he was closing it off.

If you need some help setting the scene, here's an image of the escalator at Donald Trump's Taj Mahal casino (which has since closed for good). It's long, glamorous, and bathed in purple light under fancy chandeliers.

That is where things went sideways. I saw a film camera in the lobby, and thought, "huh, they must be filming a commercial for the casino or something.. wonder if I'll be in it?" But before I could finish that thought, everyone around me in the entire lobby froze in position. A second later, someone yells, "ACTION!"

I start walking alongside a person who was next to me, and ask him quietly, "I'm not supposed to be here, am I?" He immediately shook his head no.

That other guy was a real friend, shaking his head "no" and offering zero further advice. Guess they don't really pay extras to direct other, more confused extras.

But the point remains, our protagonist was definitely not supposed to be there. He had to make a move, and quickly.

So, I see the escalator to the casino about 20 feet away.. and two 'extras' are about to get on it. I think to myself, "if I can just get on that, it would be my escape from ruining whatever they're doing in the lobby."

I make a move, get on the escalator, and start taking a few steps down. SUCCESS! I didn't screw anything up!

After a few more steps, I catch up to those two people who got on the escalator before me. And they're blocking the full width, and NOT WALKING! I mean, come on!

This is a massive pet peeve of anyone who lives in a city. An escalator is not a goddamn amusement park ride: you either walk up it at a reasonable pace or you step aside so people can pass you.

What you DO NOT DO is stand side by side with your friend, blocking the progress of everyone behind you like you're the only two people in the entire f*#&ing world, gazing around and enjoying the view like you're not in the middle of a disgusting metropolis (although in this case, granted, it's a lovely casino).

So with this righteous rage coursing through his veins, wondering why these two cretins won't let him through, our hero realizes something.

Only at this point do I see the boom microphone, the camera panning down with them, and the crowd of 150 spectators at the bottom of the escalator. Then someone yells "CUT!", and the two people in front of me turn around.

You know who these people are, don't you? With all eyes upon him, our foolish protagonist realizes as well.

Turns out those two jerks blocking the escalator were Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, and I completely blew up their scene. There was nothing I could do.. I just said, "Uh, I'm sorry." I figured there was no point in explaining my series of bad decisions. Butler laughed, and we completed the rest of the very long escalator ride in awkward silence.

Butler and Aniston were filming The Bounty Hunter, a 2010 movie about a "bounty hunter (Butler) hired to retrieve his ex-wife (Aniston) who has skipped bail."

Basically, this story is probably best thing to come out of the entire movie.

Someone on Reddit even found footage of the crew filming the scene in question—although the storyteller says the "guy in the jacket behind them" is regrettably not him, probably placed there as "a buffer after I screwed it up."

This week in the world of Competitive Parents, we have a dad who tries to copy his daughter's gymnastic moves, with varying degrees of success. For example, because he's strong, he can do a pretty decent handstand. His backflips, however, could probably use some work. And maybe a few more mats for padding.

It's good when parents take interest in their kids' hobbies. Maybe not this much interest, necessarily, but at least he's proof of the whole "if at first you don't succeed" idiom—just try (try, try, try, try) again.

Hamilton,the epic rap musical about Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr feud that culminated in a fatal duel, found itself embroiled in its own petty conflict with President-elect Trump.

While it was most likely an elaborate scheme to distract people from his $25 million fraud settlement (!!!), it worked, and will now be written in the history books under "Trump's press manipulation tactics."

And like anything important in history, it begs to be musicalized, and Stephen Colbert has delivered the goods. The rapping starts at 10:46, after a hilarious monologue about Trump University (Carpe crotch-um!)

Here are the lyrics to sing along/because it goes by so quickly:

How does an orange bully, son of a bitch and a con man grabbing pussy with Gary Busey,

No taxes evident,

Grow up to be a hero and the president?

Well, the story of my reign starts on the Great White Way

with a great white-haired Veep who doesn’t like the gay.

I always thought the theater was a safe and special place,

but when the vice president’s in residence some thugs get in his face.

Cameras blazing, come right at him with their scary tights

Blast him, bang, with a request to protect their rights.

Stabbing him with rudeness, the cast casting aspersions

Before Pence could hit 'em back with some gay conversions.

He got a lecture, he got hectored in his little seat

I won't let my Veep go down like that

Men: To the tweets!

Drop the toilet seat, drop the beat

Thumbs so fast disappearing like my balance sheet

Gonna make the theater safe again and end the lies

I'm gonna tweet: "Apologize!"

And done

Back to make America great

Calderon's mom had installed cameras in the family home for safety, and thought she would use them to see what her dogs did while they were alone.

Model changes Instagram captions to reveal the ugly truth about the fashion industry.

Austrian model Jazz Egger, 19, has been changing the captions on her old Instagrams and adding the hashtag"#truthbehindthisshot." Instead of relentlessly cheerful captions, she wants her followers to see the ridiculous demands of the fashion industry, as well as the insecurities that often go along with having your face and body constantly critiqued.


Egger says she sometimes gets asked by casting directors how many Instagram followers she has, in order to help them decide if they want to hire her. Until recently Egger's Instagram account was filled with pictures of her looking happy, accompanied by upbeat captions. Now she's changing those captions to present her life in a more honest way.

In an email to Distractify, Egger wrote,

The fashion and media industry is hard and the pressure to be perfect even harder. Casting directors started asking me how many followers I have so they can decide whether they want me for a job or not," Egger said in an email. "So today, I decided to post a selfie with a different caption than usually. I was honest. I'm so sick of people pretending to have a perfect life bc I know their Instagram feed is full of lies which support stereotypical standards.

While it sucks that anyone worries about what other people think of their looks, it adds a little perspective to know that it happens to even the most good-looking among us.
