Prince Harry finally opens up about how he had 'a lot of buried emotion' about Princess Diana's death.

Prince Harry was only 12-years-old when his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car accident in 1997. Her tragic passing became the most talked about news event that year, but young Harry was too young to join the conversation. Now, almost 20 years later, he is ready to open up.

"I'd never really dealt with what had actually happened," the 32-year-old says in a new documentary, Prince Harry in Africa. "There was a lot of buried emotion and, for a huge part of my life, I just didn't even want to think about it."

"I now view life very differently from what it used to be," Harry later added. "I used to bury my head in the sand, and let everything around you tear you to pieces."

"I just didn't even want to think about it."

The prince now claims he is able to move forward with his life by "following in her footsteps."

The documentary follows Harry to Lesotho, Africa, where he started his charity Sentebale, an organization helps young people with HIV and AIDS. Princess Diana was known for her work with AIDS and the cause has become Harry's passion as well. Earlier this month we saw Harry take an AIDS test with BFF Rihanna.

Here's a clip of Prince Harry's documentary, which airs on ITV today.

Redditor Ashontez is creeping out the entire internet with an autobiographical story he recently posted on r/LetsNotMeet. Before you read this, be aware: you might not sleep so well for a few weeks. He begins:

So, I just got a new job back in October, working Tech Support on the graveyard shift. I work from 1am - 12pm Friday through Monday's. Needless to say, adjusting my sleep schedule has been quite the task, but I have managed. On the days that I don't work, I still follow my work schedule, waking up at midnight, and staying up until at least 2pm before falling asleep as to keep my sleep schedule in line with my work schedule. I bought blackout curtains to help with this, as trying to sleep with the sun shining is not easy for me, I usually require complete darkness.

I live alone, I started noticing weird things happening around my apartment when I would get home from work, or after waking up on my days off. Just little things at first, lights being on, that I swear I turned off, doors being left open or closed.

The creepy, Shining-esque apartment building in question.

Dizzy from his nocturnal schedule, Ashontez continued to dismiss the strange occurrences. (Maybe it was just a harmless ghost.) But soon, things got much worse.

On the 11th of December, my Credit card information was stolen and my account was charged +$3000. I was in the office that day, as a favor to my coworker, who was really creeped out being in the office alone in the middle of the night. The charge was made at 11:40am, just a few moments before I gotten off work, and I had the card on me still. (This is relevant, I promise)

I was restless, and didn't sleep well. I wake up at midnight, per usual, on Monday morning, and get my set up ready to take calls. Now, almost no calls come in on the weekends, so i'm usually screwing around on Reddit, Facebook, YouTube and Netflix.

Around 3:00am I was catching up on The 100 when someone unlocked my fucking door! I don't mean, picked the lock, I mean used a key. Thank god the secondary deadbolt was engaged but the person jiggled the door to try and get it to open. I ran and grabbed my gun looked out the peephole, but saw nothing. I opened the door, with the intent to shoot someone, but the person was already gone.

Before you ask, yes I called the cops, no they didn't find anything. There are no cameras in the hallways of the building, or outside them for that matter, and they told me that there wasn't enough evidence for them to do anything about it, and left.

At this point, Ashontez stopped sleeping entirely. He also started working from home full-time, in the hopes of catching whoever was responsible. But it wasn't until he tried to distract himself by setting up his Christmas tree that he learned the horrible truth. The tree was sitting in his seldom-used storage closet…

As i'm pulling out the tree this evening, its only a 5ft tall fake tree that has all the lights attached to it already, I notice a bag, back behind it. A small, black duffel-bag, in it, I found a change of clothes, sunglasses, shoes, toiletries and a notebook. What was in the notebook horrified me.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Don't open it don't open it don't open it OPEN IT!!!

There were notes about me. What hours/days I worked, notes about my cats, and updated notes that they were no longer there and the date, my fucking credit card number! As I went further and further back in the notes, I found two words, circled multiple times "Balcony Door." Which I assume is how the person entered my apartment for the first time. This creep had been living in my apartment while I've been at work for the past month and I didn't even know it! The worst part is, that I was in my apartment at the same time as this guy, at some point, and didn't even know it. That's the only way he would have gotten my credit card number, and my house key to make a copy somewhere!

What's that? Everyone's worst nightmare? Cool, got it.

Of course, this is making everyone on Reddit flip out. Strangers started advising Ashontez on what to do, telling him to call the cops (of course he did), change his locks (that too), and start looking for another place (already sorted out). But in the meantime, he's still stuck sleeping in the one-bedroom apartment where a stranger observed him for a full month. He's still updating the original thread with news about how that's going (hint: bad).

On the other hand, some skeptical Redditors accused Ashontez of making the story up. It is true that he doesn't have any proof, and hoaxes of this size have popped up on Reddit before. But even if it is fake, the fact that it's plausible is plenty of reason for all of us to live the rest of our lives in fear.

And also, if Ashontez did make this up, then for the love of god, someone please give him a book deal! This guy is the new Stephen King, and he's wasting his time on Reddit!

'The Mummy' accidentally released a trailer with the most hilariously botched audio.

According to the Independent, the trailer for a new The Mummy movie was live on the IMAX YouTube page for six days—with one glaring error. The audio wasn't finished. The following YouTube clip has been taken down, but this fake conversation seems like an accurate representation of what led to this mess going live:

So what's actually there on the mangled clip? Some gorgeous airplane shots, a brooding Tom Cruise, and what sounds like one sound editor screaming "ugh!" as a placeholder for what should be a more cinematic "AH!" from Tom Cruise.

Apparently, that's not actually the case. The sounds you hear, according to the Independent and Uproxx, are the actual "grunts, sighs, screams, and...[occasionally] awkward snippets of dialogue" from the movie, just absent the rest of the audio tracks.

Here, enjoy the hilariously awkward cut:

A brief summary: Silence, silence, Tom Cruise grunting, silence, Tom Cruise screaming, Tom Cruise screaming a lot, Tom Cruise breathing loudly, someone who sounds like Anthony Hopkins doing a voiceover, then back to regular movie trailer.

Many folks have tweeted the messed up trailer, despite the fact that IMAX or Universal have taken steps to remove it from the web.

The media in the following tweet, for example, will not play:

Although Broderick's point stands. Cruise's scream is, for sure, the best part.

But as the Independent notes, six days is "about a century in internet terms," so you won't have trouble finding the trailer, reuploaded to YouTube, or any number of other places on the internet.

Plus, the very awkward Tom Cruise sounds will survive for eternity, overdubbed on this clip of Darth Vader.

Lena Dunham pisses everyone off again by saying she wishes she'd had an abortion.

Lena Dunham, queen of sticking her foot in her mouth, pissed a whole bunch of people off when she said she wishes she'd had an abortion on her podcast on December 14. This particular episode of "Women of the Hour" had a ton of useful information about abortions and being pro-choice, but it was all overshadowed by the self-sabotaging and incredibly tone-deaf comment Dunham made that many are calling a "slap in the face" to women who have actually had abortions.

Here is the context in which Dunham made the comment.

"One day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young girl walked up to me and asked me if I’d like to be a part of her project in which women share their stories of abortions. I sort of jumped. 'I haven’t had an abortion,' I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion. And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department. I feel so proud of them for their bravery, for their self-knowledge, and it was a really important moment for me then to realize I had internalized some of what society was throwing at us and I had to put it in the garbage. Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.

Both liberals and conservatives were outraged about the comment, so in a weird way, Lena Dunham actually brought us all together?

Dunham, who is an activist, writer and actor, most likely meant that she wishes she could directly relate to the women for which she often advocates. But you know what? Defending Dunham's poor choice of words is tiring, and so I am not going to do it! The Girls creator needs to learn that her it is her words and not always her intentions that get through to people. To be an effective activist, she needs to start choosing them more wisely.

This is what it's like to be Kylie Jenner's personal assistant (not all bad, actually).

This Kylie Jenner's personal assistant, Victoria Villarroel Gamero.

The 24-year-old dished about what it's like to work for the youngest Jenner in a confessional video. And of course, she's being totally honest, because this video appears on Kylie's app.

The Venezualan beauty says she got her start working for the 19-year-old star after working for mom, Kris Jenner, a couple years before. Now, almost a year-and-a-half after she began, Victoria recounts her first moments working with Kylie:

I walked into her house and it's just weird, 'cause like, your first day is always scary, but, like, when you're, like, someone's personal assistant, it's, like, they have to, like, like you.

So true.

So I walked in, and I remember she had just woken up and I saw her coming down the stairs, and someone's like, "Hey, Kylie, this is Victoria, your new assistant," and I was like, "Hey,' and she looked and me and she, like, told me something, and I couldn't understand. 'I was like, "Wait, what do you mean?" And I couldn't understand, and she said it, like, three times, and I was like, "sh**, I don't know what you're saying." I got really frustrated. So a great first impression.'

Very relatable. Like, I think we all, like, know, like, what it's like to, like, not be able to understand someone.

this is us

"To be a personal assistant, you have to be 24/7. I don't know how you could just be nine to six," she continued. "I'm always open. She'll call me at 2 a.m., I'll answer. I don't really have set hours. It's pretty much whenever duty calls," concluded Victoria.

so proud of this one

Eventually, that work relationship drifted into a legit friendship, as Victoria recounts a time Kylie Jenner brought her into her inner circle.

One time, we were in her room and we were talking, and she told me — and I remember, I think this is, like, word by word — she said, "Close the door, I want to tell you my deepest secrets." 'And I was like, "OK," and I closed the door and we just talked forever. I think that's where we bonded.'

So bascially, her best friend is also someone who always gets to tell her what to do. This is either the either the best or the worst job in the world.

"It's fun, though, it's fun. It's work but it's fun."

21-year-old Braxton Sislo wasn't expecting much when he told his girlfriend that he had gotten her an empty box as a gift, but much to his and the internet's delight, she had just about the best response ever. Sislo posted a screenshot of their text conversation to Twitter.

Here's how Sislo broke the empty box news to his girlfriend, Ray:

And her extremely excited and appreciative response to the gift:

Obviously, the internet loved her. Because she is adorable.

Some Twitter users even copied Sislo's texts and sent them to their own significant others. The results were... less cute.

Okay, admittedly, the rock one was kind of cute. But none had the sheer joy and elation that Braxton's girlfriend displayed when she found out she was getting an empty box.

THIS IS HOW YOU ACCEPT A GIFT, PEOPLE.


Here's why going to a female doctor could save your life.

Take my doctor... Please. Take her! She'll probably save your life, it's science. Female doctors are more likely than male doctors to save the lives of elderly patients, according to a new study of 1.5 million patients, It's a "small but significant difference" of around 0.4%, the Washington Post reports.

But that 0.4% adds up to roughly 32,000 lives saved a year. That's a LOT of lives.

“If we had a treatment that lowered mortality by 0.4 percentage points or half a percentage point, that is a treatment we would use widely," said Ashish Jha, professor of health policy at the Harvard School of Public Health (heard of it). "We would think of that as a clinically important treatment we want to use for our patients. The estimate that 32,000 patients' lives could be saved in the Medicare population alone is on par with the number of deaths from vehicle crashes each year."

Past research has shown that there are some differences between how male and female doctors practice medicine. Women are "more likely to adhere to clinical guidelines and counsel patients on preventive care" and are "more communicative than men," the Post reports.

Scientists added that there is no proof that these trends are directly related to the lower death rate among patients of female doctors. But hey, we can go ahead and draw our own conclusions.

Look, I'm not saying men can't be doctors. But maybe some of them should stay in the kitchen where they belong. It could save lives.

Straight-A college dropout goes viral saying what we were all too afraid to say about college.

If you're steeped in college loans while making a living selling yarn animals on Etsy (respect!), you might wish you'd taken the approach of college drop-out turned internet hero, Billy Wilson. With a perfect 4.0 average, he dropped out of Kansas State University after one semester to pursue a career in not-paying-for-a-useless-degree. And the former student has no regrets, calling it "one of the best choices I've ever made."

In a Facebook manifesto which has gone viral, Wilson made some pretty strong points about why college is a waste of money and time. He also posted a picture of him flipping off his university sign. Brave man.

Now that i've finished my first semester I think it's safe to say... FUCK COLLEGE. Now before all you of you go batshit...

Posted by Billy Willson on Saturday, December 17, 2016

In the lengthy post, Wilson says paying for college is a "scam" and that the classes aren't even that useful. "Colleges are REQUIRING people to spend money taking gen. ed. courses to learn about the quadratic formula (and other shit they will never use) when they could be giving classes on MARRIAGE and HOW TO DO YOUR TAXES," he wrote. I would add: a class on how to pay off your hefty college loans.

As a counterpoint: I probably wouldn't have this job if I didn't have a college degree. And I went to a public university in Canada that was a lot cheaper than most US schools. So there are alternatives to dropping out. But hey, you do you! For many, college is not the right path.

Clearly Wilson's post struck a nerve, because it has been shared over 10,000 times. Incidentally, 10,000 is also the number of dollars it costs to go to a typical private US college for about two months, not counting room, board, weed and beer money.

Pregnant woman twerks to Rihanna and Jay Z to induce labor.

Of all the baby delivery videos out there, this one of a woman twerking to induce labor is definitely the most like a music video. As the pregnant woman's mom behind the camera says, "I guarantee you've never seen a labor and delivery like this."

"We're twerking the baby down, y'all."

When you gotta give birth but still wanna turn up 😂💀👶 @worldstar #WSHH

A video posted by WorldstarHipHop (@worldstar) on

The video was featured on World Star Hip-Hop's Instagram page, and has wracked up over a million views in only 12 hours.

"I never thought I'd be encouraging my daughter to twerk," the soon-to-be grandma says while "Talk That Talk" by Rihanna feat. Jay Z blasts in the background and the expectant mom shakes her ass for the camera.

"I'm not easily offended," says Nurse Lisa as she pushes down on mom's tailbone as the butt flesh rotates around it. No doubt, surely, nurse Lisa has seen all kinds of things while women have tried to release their spawn from their stretched bodies.

In fact, Grandma claims the twerking was all the nurse's idea. It was probably her Rihanna playlist, too.

This high school student was sent home for wearing a turtleneck dress. WTF.

Sure, turtleneck dresses aren't for everyone. But too revealing? No way. I'm pretty sure in the relatively brief history of turtleneck dresses, no one has ever said "girl, take off that turtleneck dress, you're showing too much skin!"

But that's what happened last week when Erin McGovern, a junior at Riverview Community High School in Riverview, Michigan, dared to bare her entire face and wrists by wearing a long-sleeve turtleneck dress, tights, and knee-high boots to school. She was sent home, because apparently her outfit did not adhere to the school's strict dress code, which states: "all skirts/short/Capri pants must fall at or below the knees."

McGovern tweeted out this pic of the offending outfit:

She also pointed out that this is an outfit she usually wears to Church.

If God is cool with it, why not her high school?

Tons of students sided with Erin, tweeting their support of her school-acceptable outfit choice:

Strict dress codes like this are not uncommon. But they often set different standards for female and male students. ​In an interview with FreshU, McGovern said:

I think the schools dress code is unfair because I see boys who wear shorts that go down the same length as my dress did. I know my school has a really strict dress code but I didn't think they'd actually send me home for what I was wearing because it was so conservative.

Alexa Foggia, a junior at Riverview and a friend of Erin's, also called out the dress code for being sexist. She told FreshU:

Girls get sent home everyday for dress code and it's so sexist. The main argument from my school is that it's too distracting for the boys. Instead of teaching girls to coverup and blaming them for wearing what they want, we should teach boys to have some self-control."

I can't wait for teens like this to grow up and run the damn world already. Wearing turtleneck sweaters or whatever the hell they want.

After watching this adorable kid who captured the hearts of an entire arena full of fans at an ice hockey​game, you're going to want to buy a vowel. Because Oh. My. God.

The kid, who has been identified as two-year-old Mason, was so cute that the fans at the Detroit Red Wings home game went crazy anytime his face was on the JumboTron. Then, they got so attached that they would all loudly yell "boo!" anytime the JumboTron panned away from him.

And there you have it: all the ingredients for a perfect viral moment.

Be warned: you, too, will find yourself boo'ing when his cute lil' face disappears from view.

The video has been re-tweeted over 5,000 times and shared almost 7,000 times on Facebook, earning little Mason a huge fan base. And, though the Red Wings won the game, the team is calling Mason the "honorary first star," a title he undoubtedly deserves.

Here's another adorable clip of Mason for you to watch on loop until Spring:

Jimmy Fallon and The Roots recruited Paul McCartney and a whole bunch of other famous people to do an a cappella rendition of his 1986 hit "Wonderful Christmastime." The sing-along was to promote the upcoming animated movie Sing, which from the looks of it is about animals that—you guessed it—sing. Hey, at least you know what you're getting up front.

Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, Tori Kelly, Scarlett Johansson and Seth McFarlane all lent their famous voices to the family film as well as to this mini-music video. Don't their floating heads in separate cells make them look like one giant, multi-species Brady Bunch?

That would have been a much different show.

Ryan Reynolds was recently given his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and his wife Blake Lively and two daughters, James, 2, and "the baby" (not her real name), 2 months, were there to cheer him on at the ceremony. James is definitely an odd but interesting name for a girl, and fans of the couple have been wondering about the name of their second baby, born in September. Well, Us Weekly has revealed that the name of Ryan Reynolds' and Blake Lively's second baby girl is—Robert. KIDDING! It's Ines.

Lively and Reynolds are without a doubt one of Hollywood's cutest couples, and now they've got two of Hollywood's cutest kids, too. Any more cuteness out of these two and their fans run the risk of cuteness overdose. But that's okay—that just entails being locked in a state of "awwwww" for a few hours.

Lena Dunham apologizes for her 'distasteful joke' about wishing she had an abortion.

Less than 24 hours after headlines began lambastingGirls star Lena Dunham for her comments on abortion, the actress took to Instagram to issue that familiar post-backlash apology.

"My latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America," wrote Dunham. "I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated."

Outrage over the comedian's distasteful joke focused on the line: "Now I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had."

My latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America, to explain the many reasons women do or don't choose to have children and what bodily autonomy really means. I'm so proud of the medley of voices in the episode. I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated. My words were spoken from a sort of "delusional girl" persona I often inhabit, a girl who careens between wisdom and ignorance (that's what my TV show is too) and it didn't translate. That's my fault. I would never, ever intentionally trivialize the emotional and physical challenges of terminating a pregnancy. My only goal is to increase awareness and decrease stigma. I take reproductive choice in America more seriously than I take literally anything else, and therefore own full responsibility for any words I speak that don't convey this truth clearly. I know plenty of people will never like a thing that leaves my lips, mea culpas or no, but this apology is for the women who have placed their trust in me. You mean everything to me. My life is and always will be devoted to reproductive justice and freedom. You know how in some households you curse and have to put money in a jar? Well in mine, if you mess up your pro-choice messaging you have to give a sizable donation to abortion funds (https://abortionfunds.org/need-abortion) in New York, Texas and Ohio 💰I look forward to fighting with you all for the next four years and beyond.

During Dunham's mea culpa about the abortion comments, which you can read in full above, she explained that her joke came from a "sort of 'delusional girl' persona I often inhabit, a girl who careens between wisdom and ignorance (that's what my TV show is, too) and it didn't translate."

"That's my fault," she added.

Anytime a comedian has to justify a joke by explaining it, it's safe to assume the joke really sucked. In this case, the comedian had to explain the entire foundation of her comedic career to justify it—so, yikes.

Lena Dunham will make a "sizable donation to abortion funds" in lieu of tipping the swear jar or sacrificing a small animal to the gods of internet backlash.
