Jamie Foxx and James Corden turned these songs from the public domain into total jams.

On Thursday, Jamie Foxx joined James Corden to sing some songs from the public domain for a royalty-free good time. Corden jokes that his show can no longer afford to pay for the rights to pop music after "blowing the budget on catering," so they are limited to the public domain, which contains songs mostly sung in day cares. They do all the big hits from your childhood, but believe me, you never heard "Row Row Row Your Boat" or "Pop Goes the Weasel" sung like this before.

Hold up, why was "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain" so damn sexual?Seriously, only these two guys can turn these oldies into total bops. It doesn't hurt that they both have insanely good singing voices, either.

Woman finds her cheating husband's messages to his mistress, gets divorce and sweet revenge.

Betsy Ayala was heartbroken when she discovered that not only was her husband cheating on her, but he and his mistress have been bashing her for her weight in their private messages. The Texas mother found the Facebook messages between the two where her husband called her a "fat f**k" and a "cow." Instead of going ballistic and karate chopping that prick in the nuts like most of us would do, Ayala got revenge by losing over a hundred pounds. That works, too.

In 2013, when Ayala was her heaviest, she weighed 262 pounds. She had just given birth to her daughter, and instead of being a supportive father and husband, Ayala's spouse/childhood sweetheart started hooking up with a coworker. Motivated by the infidelity, Ayala set out on her fitness journey, telling The Daily Mail, "I decided that this wouldn’t define me and I was going to change for me and for my daughter."

Happy #TransformationTuesday !!!!! The left picture is the day my brother got married... I remember I hated going to events or fancy occasions because I used to get anxiety about what I was going to wear. I could only fit in to plus sizes and everything seemed like it was made for people twice my age 😞 I would never wear dresses or anything cute and honestly there were things I missed out on because I would make excuses not to go. Even wearing knee high boots wasn't a option because they wouldn't zip up my calf. I think for anyone who hasn't been in that position it's hard to comprehend what it feels like and all the thoughts that go through your head on a daily and wondering if this is really how you're going to live the rest of your life. Grateful that the right opportunities and people were put in my life at exactly the right time to change everything and live my life on my terms. 👑🐝💋❤️ ------------------------------------------------ "Stressing and complaining will change nothing, take action make a change and never look back" ------------------------------------------------ #21dayshakechallenge #changeyourlife #ownit #lightthematch #alwaysinpursuit #queenb #iamherbalife #iamofthislife #100lbs #fueledbyherbalife #watchme #orjoinme #livethelifeyoulove #lovethelifeyoulive #wellnesscoach #healthcoach #herbalife24 #fitness #fitchick #powerupfit #bestlifeever #dreams #fitspo #noexcuses #motivation #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #joinmyteam #beforeandafter

She started by doing Zumba three days a week. Before long, she also started lifting weights and running with her sister. Betsey now hits the gym six days a week, watches what she eats, and uses HerbaLife Shakes to keep her weight in check. Today weighs 159 pounds.

On top of the 103 pounds she lost, Betsy also dropped that nasty husband of hers. Looking back on it, Ayala says that her husband cheating is one of the best things that could have ever happened to her. "I know that I'm capable of so much and I'm so happy to set a good example for my daughter which is extremely important for me," she told The Daily Mail. "My ex-husband and I are actually good now. It took me a while to get to that place of forgiveness but what he did was about him and not me. My journey has really helped me understand that."

Well you know what they say, success is the sweetest revenge.

Yahoo Finance accidentally tweeted the N-word and it's bad. Real bad.

On Thursday night, Yahoo Finance tweeted the worst typo. While we often use hyperbole as a device, this isn't a hyperbole. It really is the worst.

Imagine a typo so bad it renders the tweet unreadable aloud for a chunk of the population.

This is that typo.

It took awhile for them to fix their mistake, but when they did, they cried "spelling error," rather than typo.

A spelling error is forgetting that it's "I before E except after C," which still makes it the same word.

This is a different word.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Yahoo Finance's (now former) social media manager. Get extra drunk this weekend.

Chris Pratt knows that it's important not to take yourself too seriously. So, when the images from his recent photo shoot with Vanity Fair emerged, Pratt was quick to post them on Instagram with his own hilarious, self-deprecating commentary.

Here's Chris Pratt on the cover of Vanity Fair.

"Quick question... If a train of thought left my phone going 80 miles an hour due east- would it still be douchey to post more pics from my @vanityfair shoot?" Pratt wrote.

Nope. Post away, Chris.

He provided some insider behind-the-scenes commentary about what was REALLY going on.

Here's me warming up after having to be in that freakin' cold ass water forever.

If only we could all look as good as Chris Pratt does when we're casually sniffing our knuckles.

And of course, no commentary would be complete without witty anecdotes.

Well, it's a good thing that Vanity Fair photographer found Chris Pratt wedged between those rocks. Who knows how long he would've been stuck there?

Here's hoping Pratt will provide Instagram commentary for all his future photo shoots from this point forward.

Police question George Michael's boyfriend over possible drug overdose.

When pop legend George Michael died on Christmas at the relatively young age of 53, his manager Michael Lippman said that he'd died of heart failure, and according to the police treated his death as "unexpected but not suspicious," according to CNN. Now Page Six is reporting that cops are allegedly questioning Fadi Fawaz, who was Michael's boyfriend at the time of his death, possibly in hopes of finding out if a drug overdose was the ultimate cause of his death.

I should be able to share my beautiful moments with the man I love regardless... x

UK tabloid The Star reports that George Michael's death is still being treated as "non-suspicious," but a paparazzi agency has been asked to turn over all photos taken near Michael's home before Christmas, to see who'd come and gone from Michael's home before and after his death.

The results of an autopsy performed last week were apparently "inconclusive," so police are now awaiting results of toxicology tests that might provide more information about whether drugs played a part in Michael's death.

George Michael's struggle with drugs was no secret, and according to The Sun, he'd been treated for crack addiction in 2015. A retired senior police officer (who is not part of the investigation) told the publication,

Given his history, there must be a possibility that drugs, illegal or otherwise, could have been involved in his death. Because of his high profile and wealth it makes absolute sense for the Major Crime Unit to investigate the full circumstances while they wait for the ‘tox’ tests to come back. It does not mean that he did die from drugs but until it is proved otherwise they cannot rule it out and must investigate appropriately.

Trump blames Schwarzenegger for bad ‘Apprentice’ ratings, Schwarzenegger fires back by reminding him he’s about to be president.

The East Coast awoke this morning to President-elect Donald Trump's daily "wake and whine," and breaking with this month's theme of callously trying to undermine "American 'intelligence'" and praising his boi Putin, Trump shifted focus to a different issue of utmost importance: The Celebrity Apprentice.

Because today Donnie T. finally has to hear about the Russian interference that got him elected, he'd rather we talk about TV.

The President-elect is still an executive producer on the show (!!!), so unlike the fate of the country, he is very concerned in its future. Disappointed in the premiere's ratings under new host Former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donald decided to start the day by throwing Arnold under the bus, because what else could be more important to the incoming leader of the free world?

And in perhaps the best possible reaction, Arnie stayed calm, reminding Donald that he is ABOUT TO BE PRESIDENT.

Arnold then raised the stakes by quoting Lincoln (the person, not the movie), which Trump has likely never done.

He upped his game by reposting a video of his passionate delivery of Lincoln's inaugural address, a speech Trumpy will have to give himself in just two weeks.

Troll level: Abraham Lincoln.

Never forget that "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right" is the ultimate subtweet.

Here's why women in New Delhi are now allowed to carry 'small knives' on the city's metro.

Women in India's capital of New Delhi are now allowed to travel with "a small knife for self-protection" on the city's metro, according to the Hindustan Times.

Apparently, the city's police force are so tired of confiscating these types of weapons—knives up to four inches long—each day, they've decided to just allow them.

"World over it is a practice that only items that can cause mass destruction are not allowed," said an official. "We carried a review and found that with these items, passengers' safety is not in danger."

Although the city officials and the Hindustan Times make no connection between this development and a terrible incident in Bangalore, India on New Year's Eve, it's difficult not to draw a line between the allegations of sexual assault on a massive scale and the decision to let women take protection into their own hands when in public.

Opinion has been mixed regarding the development:

The Delhi metro already offers a women-only car in a city that's notorious for failing to guarantee women's safety.

Tilikum, the killer whale who inspired the 'Blackfish' documentary, has died.

Tilikum, the killer whale who killed Seaworld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010 and inspired the anti-captivity documentaryBlackfish, died today at the age of 36. The cause of death has not yet been released, but the orca had been suffering from a treatment-resistant bacterial lung infection since 2015.

Poor Tilikum. He was taken from waters near Iceland in 1983, when he was just two years old. He spent the next year in a cement holding tank in Iceland, while he waited to be transferred to a marine park. Then he spent the rest of his life in tiny pools, doing tricks for food.

Dawn Brancheau wasn't the only human whose death was caused by Tilikum—he also killed a trainer named Keltie Byrne in 1991 at when she fell into the pool at Sealand of the Pacific , and a trespasser named Daniel Dukes in 1999, who had climbed into his tank at Seaworld after the park had closed for the night.

At long last, poor Tili is free. It's just too bad it had to end for him like this, instead of in a safe ocean pen where he could still be fed by the humans who'd trapped him so many years ago, while enjoying at least a semblance of a normal ocean life.

The best thing happened after this dad was fired for attending his son's birth.

A dad in New Hampshire is being overwhelmed with support and inundated with job offers after he was fired from his position at a security firm for missing work to be present for the birth of his son.

The Austin family.

Lamar Austin was in the middle of his 90-day trial period with Salerno Protective Services, and was expected to be on call night and day, when his wife Lindsay went into labor. Lindsay was in labor from Friday to Sunday, so Lamar had to miss one of his weekend shifts to, you know, be there for his wife and witness the birth of his son. Not something you'd typically be fired for, right?

So imagine Austin's surprise when he received a text informing him that he had been "terminated" from his position at Salerno. Um. What?

When the Austins' story was published in local newspapers, town board member and family leave advocate Sara Persechino launched a GoFundMe page to help the family out.

“I don’t think they should have to be worrying about financial issues right now; it should be a joyful time for them,” Persechino told Independent. “I don’t think anyone should ever have to choose between their family and their job.”

In addition to having the public on his side, Lamar Austin says that he has also received three job offers, plus an apprenticeship from the local business manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and from the labor union, AFL-CIO.

“Sometimes you lose something and you get something even better,” Austin told the Concord Monitor.

While Salerno Protective Services declined to comment on Lamar Austin's specific case, they told the Concord Monitor, “[Salerno Protective Services] is not in the practice of releasing employees stated in the article you published but must be cognizant of the product we give our clients!"

We think Lamar, Lindsay, and their family might be better off without his previous employer. Let this be a lesson to all the other bosses out there: If you fire a dad for wanting to witness the birth of his child, that's cool. Just know that he's about to get some way better job offers. Karma works in mysterious ways.

Andy Cohen put Stephen Colbert's commitment to "truthiness" to the test with a saucy round of "Plead the Fifth." In the exact game of Shag/Marry/Kill you used to play with your best liberal friends in the early-to-mid 2000s, Cohen asked Colbert to choose between Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver, all of whom you'd marry in a second.

It's no surprise that Colbert wants to make it official with Stewart and shag his fellow Steve, but poor John Oliver.

Gay people don't care for him either.

Best Place To Watch Inauguration Day

Harrowing video shows the moment a fast-acting skier saved a man's life.

Ever since I cried on the bunny hill at age 10, I've avoided all things related to skiing. And after watching this harrowing video of a skier dangling off a ski lift by his neck, I think I might avoid going outside at all.

Mickey Wilson was riding a chair lift at Arapahoe Basin in Colorado on Wednesday morning when a friend in the lift in front of him tried to get off the lift but ended up getting caught in his backpack straps, the Denver Post reported.

“He was not only caught, he was literally being hung by his neck by his backpack,” said Wilson, who immediately sprung into action. He said that the first plan, forming a human pyramid to get the man down, didn't work. “That’s when I realized—it all kind of snapped together—that ‘I can climb this tower and get to him,'” he said.

So Wilson climbed up the tower, “slid approximately 30 feet across the lift’s cable" to where the man was dangling and was able to cut him free, the Denver Post reports, ultimately saving his life.

You can watch the whole terrifying rescue here:

“The only way I was able to get to him so fast was to climb the tower and shimmy down the line to him so fast,” Wilson said. The Denver Post reported that he

Wilson has detailed his account of the rescue in an Instagram post:

Today I saved someone's life. I think some strange forces were at work. I planned to ski by myself today. As fate had it though, some good friends ended up recognizing me despite my ski gear, and we joined forces for an epic pow day. Again, fate intervened. One of our crew got his backpack strap stuck in the chairlift as he tried to unload and the lift dragged him back down the hill. We were on the chair lift behind so we unloaded and ran down the hill to help him when we realized the worst possible thing had happened. The backpack had wrapped around his neck and he was unconscious, dangling 10 feet above the snow. Panic set in and we struggled in vain for about a minute to build a human pyramid to get to him but the powder was too deep and we toppled over. I yelled at the lift operator asking if the lift ran in reverse and he cried no. Ski patrol was on their way but not there yet. Panic was becoming terror as we realized we were about to watch our friend die in front of our helpless eyes. Then I had a eureka moment. I realized I could climb the lift tower above the chair and climb onto the cable and shimmy down to him. I knew my slackline experience prepared me perfectly for this so I burst into action. I climbed the tower and slid down to the the chair. It was second nature, just like being on a slackline only way colder and made of steel. I climbed down the chair and I first tried to break the strap by kicking it but I couldn't. A newly arrived ski patrolman threw me a knife and I luckily caught it on the first try and cut the strap. Our friend fell like a doll into the snow. 8 or so ski patrolman then began CPR. Thankfully they were able to restore his breathing, ski him down to the base, and get him into an ambulance which rushed him to the hospital in Denver. I'd like to take this moment now to thank the #slacklife for the skills it has given me. It was incredibly fortunate I was there and able to act quickly. I'd also like to thank ski patrol for their strong work reviving our friend. I just got an update from the hospital and he's doing quite well and will be released tomorrow! #thankful #lovelife #rightplacerighttime

Woman makes her Tinder profile even more persuasive by making it a PowerPoint.

For all the action it could bring, Tinder is a boring place, filled with repetitive profiles of dudes with tigers, women holding boots of bear and everyone claiming that they're "fluent in sarcasm."

Grace, a 19-year-old student at the University of Kansas, made sure her profile was anything but boring by turning it into a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation on why people should date her.

"One of my friends showed me a guy on a different dating app with a PowerPoint profile, and I thought it was really interesting, so I decided to use the format as inspiration for my Tinder. I’ve always been the 'funny person' in my life, so I decided to just take that and run with it," she toldThe Daily Dot.

And the result is an impressive presentation with both qualitative and quantitative reasoning.

Introduction

Exhibit A: Sense of Humor

Exhibit B: Creativity and Thoughtfulness

Exhibit C: Upward Trajectory of Cuteness

Exhibit D: No Threat of Clinginess

Grace told The Daily Dot, "I am still talking to someone back in Lawrence that I matched with weeks ago, so I’d consider it a success."​

How one restaurant in Florida is helping women escape bad dates.

One restaurant in Florida is doing its part to help women escape bad dates. A discreet sign in the restroom of Iberian Rooster in St. Petersburg gives instructions on how women who feel unsafe on a date can discreetly ask a bartender for help.

"Are you on a date that isn't going well?" the sign reads. "Is your Tinder or Plenty of Fish date not who they said they were on their profile?"

"Do you feel unsafe, or even just a tad bit weird?" the sign continues. It then instructs them to order an angel shot.

If customers order an angel shot neat, a bartender will escort them to their car. If they order it with ice, the bartender will call an Uber or Taxi for them. And if they order it with a lime, the restaurant will call the police.

"The goal for this place was to be a safe place where people can go on a romantic date," owner Russell Andrade told the Tampa Bay Times. "We don't want someone else to ruin a good a time."

Iberian Rooster isn't the first establishment to come up with a code like this. A bar in London posted a similar sign in its restroom, and Andrade and his staff were inspired by this one at another bar in the UK, which went viral on social media.

Andrade said that, thankfully, no customers have had to order the angel shot yet.

"I'm surprised to hear people are just talking about this," he said. "We didn't put the sign up for any attention. That sort of goes against the point."

Can you imagine if our President-elect didn'ttweet and talk like a belligerent 11-year-old boy who has never been told "no" in his life? Too hard to imagine? Luckily we don't have to. A hero has created a Twitter account from the perspective of Donald Trump if he were a mature adult.

It's called Presidential Trump. You will laugh through your tears.

Here are some gems:

Maybe if enough people RT these, Donald Trump will magically disappear and Presidential Donald Trump will take his place?

Kendall Jenner painted her walls a color that supposedly will suppress her appetite.

Back in December, Kendall Jenner uploaded a picture of her newly-painted pink living room walls onto Instagram. The color, evocative of Pepto Bismol and Victoria's Secret dressing rooms, seemed like the perfect hue for the young, fun model. However, Jenner later revealed that she chose the specific color, Baker-Miller Pink, for a scientific reason.

A photo posted by Kendall (@kendalljenner) on

In a blog post entitled "The Story Behind My Pink Wall," Jenner confesses that she chose the color because it may help to keep her thin.

I decided to paint it pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the "Human Condition" exhibition at a former hospital in LA.

They were telling me there's a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the color choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only color scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite. I was like, "I NEED this color in my house!" I then found someone to paint the room and now I'm loving it!

Please, that color would just remind me of cotton candy and strawberry ice cream and only make me hungrier. Unlike Kendall, I'm not the type of gal to let a little thing like wall color stop me from eating to my heart's (and stomach's) content.
