I'm the kind of person who keeps calm under pressure and freaks out when everything is okay.


Fox News paid a woman to keep quiet about being sexually harassed by Bill O'Reilly.

It turns out Roger Ailes wasn't the only one accused of sexual harassment at Fox News—documents obtained by the New York Times show that host Bill O'Reilly may have done some sexual harassing of his own. Why is this somehow not surprising?

According to New York Times, Fox News secretly settled with Juliet Huddy, an on-air personality, after she accused Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment, starting in 2011. At the time, O'Reilly held sway over Huddy's career, and after she rejected his advances, he tried to derail her professionally. (She claims that Jack Abernathy, a Fox News executive, did the same thing after she turned him down, too.)

The report was based on several documents (a letter from Huddy's lawyer to Fox News and three pages of a draft of the settlement agreement), as well as interviews with current and former Fox News employees. According to the letter, O'Reilly called Huddy often, and it sounded like he was masturbating in some of the calls (ewwww). He also invited her to his Long Island home, tried to kiss her, and once opened the door to a hotel room wearing just underwear. Classy!

In response to Huddy's refusal to get involved with him on a personal or sexual level, the letter claims that O'Reilly “nitpicked her work” and "berate[d] Ms. Huddy for minor mistakes." He apparently stopped preparing her for segments, sprang news angles they hadn't previously discussed on her during segments, and was eventually replaced on his show altogether. She was also featured in another segment that was quickly canceled, but she didn't say anything to other Fox News employees at the time because she was afraid of "retaliation."

The settlement, which was between Fox News' parent company, 21st Century Fox, and Juliet Huddy, paid Huddy an amount somewhere in the "high six figures" to keep quiet about the harassment. Bill O'Reilly's lawyer and 21st Century Fox claim that Huddy's accusations are false. A spokesperson for Fox News, Irena Briganti, told the Times, “The letter contains substantial falsehoods, which both men have vehemently denied."

This isn't the first time Bill O'Reilly has been accused of sexual harassment—in 2004, one of his show's producers, Andrea Mackris, sued O'Reilly, claiming that he'd made unwanted advances and also telephoned her while masturbating (again, ewww. So much ew). That case was also settled, with O'Reilly paying Mackris "millions of dollars."

Brad and Angelina (and their lawyers) release first joint statement about their divorce.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been entangled in a public divorce battle ever since they decided to split up back in September. But now it seems that they are taking their divorce hearings out of the spotlight. The (former) couple issued their first joint statement saying they've agreed to handle their divorce proceedings and custody battle privately.

The joint statement obtained by CNN reads:

The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues. The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.

While Someecards of course respects Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's decision to do what's best for their family, we love gossip and are secretly super bummed that all of this juicy divorce stuff will be kept confidential from now on. Stay tuned as we speculate wildly about what's going on in the proceedings!

Controversy erupts over guy who got expensive revenge on a freeloading Tinder date.

Imgur user minilogo37 has ignited a heated debate on the image-sharing site by telling the story of his awful Tinder date, and how he turned the tables on her. But as you'll see, not everyone is on his side. His post, entitled "Had to be a $150 check, easy," begins with the following image.

Inherently obvious? Do go on.

His story explains exactly what happened:

I signed up for Tinder, just to see what would happen. A few hours later, I got "superliked," which is apparently better than "liked". We talked for a few days, she seemed super cool. I suggested a date, and she insisted on it being dinner. Cool.

We met up tonight at a restaurant I'd picked out. She didn't look at me, wore sweatpants, and immediately ordered an $13 appetizer. Okay, not a dealbreaker. I tried starting a conversation a few times, but she only gave one word answers. Then, she orders a $25 steak and $22 crab legs. She drank 4 $9 glasses of wine. I got the steak, and a few drinks myself. Right about the time our main course(s) arrived, I'd pretty much given up. She talked more to the waiter.

As we were finishing, I excused myself and went to the restroom. While I was in there, a light bulb went off.

I left the bathroom, headed out the door, got in my car, and drove home. Now, here I am. She messaged me a few times, called me a "fucker" about twelve times.

Eh.

A clear-cut case of an abusive Tinderella being punished? Or could it be more complicated than that? Of course, many Imgurians felt he was totally justified.

We didn't include the more misogynistic comments, but you can imagine.

But others pointed out that there were more mature ways to handle the situation.

Do it for the waiter's sake.

Meanwhile, this controversy has only intensified the post's popularity. In only 13 hours, it's been viewed more than 500,000 times, and received almost 17,000 points. If nothing else, it's forcing the people of Imgur to have a debate about the role of chivalry in the age of Tinder. And considering the monsters that are lurking on that app, that can't be a bad thing.

President Obama’s Farewell Address: What time and channel is it on?

President Obama will be back in his hometown of Chicago today, Tuesday January 9th to deliver his farewell administration speech. Here are the details of when, where to watch and what to expect.

When: Tuesday, January 9th at 9 pm EST.

Where: Chicago.

Where to watch: Most major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox) and cable news networks will broadcast the speech, but you can also watch the speech online at whitehouse.gov/farewell.

While Obama's final farewell will likely look back on some of his accomplishments and historic moments that reminded the nation "yes, we can" according to the White House, it won't merely be a victory lap. A good portion of the speech will focus on looking ahead at the challenges facing the United States and a passing of the torch, according to White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki. Rather than simply reflecting on the last eight years, the speech will focus on motivating the American people to keep fighting for their democracy and a call for new voices and ideas to emerge. Psaki told reporters that President Obama chose Chicago for the speech because it was the location that eventually led him to the White House.

"Chicago was a natural place for him, not just because it's hometown," Psaki said, "but because it's where he got his political start, and it's where he really first learned the lesson … that it's about the actions of individuals and the actions of people, that's how real change happens." Via Chicago Tribune

This is the final planned speech to the Union Obama will deliver before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in on Inauguration Day, January 20th.

Cara Delevingne schooled a Twitter troll who told her to get a "real job."

Cara Delevingne found herself dealing with a pathetic internet troll after he gave the model and actress some unsolicited and extremely condescending career advice.

It all started when the Suicide Squad star tweeted an announcement leading up to a big project she was working on.

That is when twitter user and complete rando @BradTheLadLong decided to chime in to tell her to look for a "real job."

Delevingne, who was actually about to announce her partnership UNICEF, responded thusly:

Still, the troll persisted.

Might get you somewhere? Dude, she is an incredibly successful woman whose career only seems to be growing. "Brad the lad" on the other hand seems to be a hapless internet sleuth who tries to appear important than he actually is by picking on female celebrities (he recently tried to start fights with Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and model Chrissy Teigen on Twitter).

Of course, like many trolls, this user tried to justify his sh*tty behavior with the "well, it's just my opinion!" excuse.

Valid. Brad, who just seems like the absolute worst, responded like this:

No. No one knows who you are, you irrelevant baby.

Still, Delevingne kept her composure.

Of course, this loser just couldn't let the conversation die.

Oh, honey.

Still, Cara Delevingne made an example of the mansplainer on her Twitter, much to the glee of her 7.7 million followers.

So who is this random guy? Well, judging from his Twitter feed, he claims to be an "outspoken media personality" which appears to just be a fancy way of saying "a nobody who spends a lot of time online." Emboldened by his meaningless Twitter verification, he seems to spend a lot of time desperately seeking the attention of celebrities, mainly females, so he can attack them with sexist remarks. Unable to handle being called out for his actions, Brad tries to convince others that he is more important than he actually is by claiming that he is famous (he's not) and encouraging people to block him. Either that, or this is a genius parody account that satirizes the absurdity of online culture and internet stardom in which case, well done.

But don't get mad, Brad. It's just my opinion.

I'm looking forward to Obama's farewell speech almost as much as I'm looking forward to Trump's farewell speech.


Meteorologist dad owns daughter in text exchange after she doubts his prediction.

This is 11 Alive​'s chief meteorologist Chris Holcomb and his 18-year-old daughter, Claire.

She's about to get schooled.

Chris Holcomb was pretty confident about his prediction for snow in Atlanta Thursday afternoon, but after he stepped off camera he saw his 18-year-old daughter Claire texted to let him know that her app said differently.

"Maybe your weather app will pay for your college."

Owned.

"The weather app says it's not gonna snow."

"Maybe your weather app will pay for your college"

The timing couldn't have been better.

"College is a big subject around our house right now," Holcomb told his own station, 11 Alive. "She is a senior in high school. We are getting college acceptances now. We are weighing out the options between in-state tuition versus out of state tuition."

Naturally, Holcomb had to share this exchange with his 30,000 Twitter followers, and the post instantly went viral.

And just like that, Chris Holcomb owned his daughter for the world to see, and Meteorologist dads everywhere rejoiced the pwn-ing.

Pregnant model responds to body shamers who said her baby bump is 'too black.'

33-year-old model Porche Thomas (daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Peter Thomas) recently gave birth to twin boys. But before she did, she proved she's a 2017 mom by showing off her baby bump in a bunch of tasteful Instagram pics.

But of course, no woman can post anything on Instagram without the creeps and haters coming out of the woodwork to give her grief about it. Immediately after posting the above image on December 29, she started getting hateful comments shaming her for her bump. And all these trolls cared about was the color of Thomas's belly.

Of course, for every one of these ignorant comments, there were ten supportive ones. Many people pointed out that it's common for women of all races to develop a darker skin tone on their stomachs toward the end of their pregnancy. But Thomas wasn't content to let her fans speak on her behalf. She posted another bikini pic, even fiercer than the one before, with an unapologetic caption clapping back at all her detractors.

Her caption reads:

While some of y'all been in my comments criticizing the blackness that is my belly and me during what shoulda been your holiday cheer, I been over here enjoying life, growing tiny humans, performing miracles and hopefully getting even blacker #justsaying #melaninpoppin #twins #babybump #noairbrushneeded #love and be #loved

If her melanin is poppin', then her hashtag game is DOUBLE POPPIN'. This may be the best clapback Instagram of all time. It has everything: a fierce '80s backdrop, a dismissively raised eyebrow, and a cup of tea that basically turns her into a human Kermit meme.

Best of luck to this young mom and her growing family. Don't let anyone ever drag your belly down.

George Clooney and Robert DeNiro slam Trump for messing with their pal Meryl.

Hollywood heavy hitters George Clooney and Robert De Niro have come to the swift defense of Meryl Streep after she was trashed on Twitter by our President-elect for her Golden Globes speech. It pays to have friends in high places. Especially when you're feuding with the soon-to-be-President of the United States.

ICYMI: Meryl Streep accepted the Cecil B. Demille Award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes on Sunday. In a powerful speech, which you can watch here, she slammed our President-elect with all the grace and eloquence you would expect from Meryl Streep. "Disrespect invites disrespect," she said. "Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."

"OMG. YES," said basically everyone.

Except for Trump, who responded with all the defensiveness and pettiness you have come to expect from Donald Trump. In a Twitter meltdown, he called Streep a "Hillary flunky" and "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood."

That's when Hollywood issued a collective: OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

Among the "Hollywood elite" to come to Streep's defense was her pal George Clooney. Last night, at a reception hosted by The Clooney Foundation for Justice, the actor told People, with obvious sarcasm:

I've always said that about Meryl. She's maybe the most overrated actress of all-time. She and I worked together on Fantastic Mr. Fox as husband and wife and I will tell you even as a fox, a female fox, she's overrated.

He then laid in to Donald Trump, asking: "Aren't you supposed to be running the country?"

Robert De Niro, who once said he would like to "punch [Donald Trump] in the face," has also fired back at Trump—with his words though. The iconic actor addressed Streep in a letter obtained by People, writing:

Meryl –

What you said was great. It needed to be said, and you said it beautifully. I have so much respect for you that you did it while the world was celebrating your achievements. I share your sentiments about punks and bullies. Enough is enough. You, with your elegance and intelligence, have a powerful voice – one that inspires others to speak up as they should so their voices will be heard too. It is so important that we ALL speak up.

We love you.

Bob

You mess with Meryl? You mess with George and Bobby. And also, a lot of other people.

This guy's theory about what happens after you die is blowing everyone's minds.

"What happens after you die?" is one of the biggest question plaguing humanity, after "what should we eat?" and "which Netflix series should I watch next?"

We are all desperate for answers, which in part explains why religion is so popular. Who doesn't want to sleep easy at night knowing they will be taken care of in the afterlife? (Provided you've abided by all the "rules" of whichever religion you ascribe to)

As an agnostic atheist (I can never decide), I don't believe in life after death. But like most people, I wish I did. Which is why this theory by a young man named Samuel Murray, who may or may not be a prophet, is blowing the internet's collective minds.

He posted the theory on Facebook and it went viral:

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1746193085700050&id=100009281256901

The post, which has been shared nearly 127K times, reads:

What if when we die the light at the end of the tunnel is the light to another hospital room, there we are born and the only reason you come out crying is because you remember everything from your past life and you're crying at the fact that you died and lost everything, as you grow you start to forget your past life and focus on the life you have now, but patches of memory stay behind and that memory causes deja vu. Think 'bout that for a second..

Apparently I'm not the only believer:

For some commenters, the theory was just TOO real:

Being a prophet, Murray of course has attracted some haters. Among the 29,000 comments, a number of people pointed out that this theory is not exactly new:

And then a bunch of know-it-alls tried to ruin the party with logic. BORING.

And this person has an alternate theory:

That may be true. But what's to say he's not high af AND correct about the afterlife? You think whoever wrote the Bible wasn't high? Because "Adam made Eve out of his rib and then Eve ate an apple after a snake told her to" is the high-est thing I've ever heard.

I'm with Murray. Mostly because I'm pretty lazy and I like the idea that when I die I don't even have to leave the hospital to get born again. Living forever and starting each life off with an easy commute? Sign me up.

This optical illusion video shows why we should all stop freaking out about cellulite.

Model, blogger and fashion designer Gabi Gregg wants us to all stop obsessing over cellulite. To make her point, she shared an Instagram video from a recent photoshoot in which her own cellulite seems to disappear right before our eyes.

It's pretty trippy. Take a look:

"Reminder that cellulite is normal and nothing to be ashamed of (and also depends on lighting! You can literally see mine 'disappear' as I walk out of a shadow here) 💅🏽🔥" she captioned the post.

So, next time you want to skip the beach because a totally normal aspect of your body doesn't conform to society's standards, remember:

CELLULITE IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

This isn't to say that it doesn't exist—trust me, it does. But if it can disappear in certain lighting, who's to say it can't disappear from our minds, as well? Maybe we just need to call it what it is: a sign of a life well-lived.

¡Viva la Cellulite!

Twitter is having a field day with Trump #GoldenShowers tweets.

On Tuesday, CNN reported that President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were given a two-page dossier detailing findings that Russia has "compromising personal and financial information" about Trump. Meaning, they have shit on him they could, conceivably, threaten to use against him.

Buzzfeed went ahead and posted the entire document online and it's definitely questionable—it's unverified (lol, good luck verifying this stuff), highly salacious, and even contains spelling errors (which, presumably, official government documents should not contain). Supposedly, the report was made prepared for Trump opponents by a former British intelligence agent.

One tidbit of information that stands out is an item claiming that President-elect Donald Trump rented out the presidential suite at Moscow's Ritz Carlton Hotel—the same room that President and Mrs. Obama (both of whom he's not super fond of) stayed in, and then hired sex workers for "golden showers," or peeing for sexual gratification, in front of him.

The report could very well be bogus, so there's a heaping pile of "allegedlys" here. Nevertheless, Twitter is having a field day with the golden showers jokes, because how could they not? Here's what the funny people on Twitter had to say about the PEEOTUS. (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)

This is why Sasha Obama missed her dad's big speech last night.

On Tuesday, President Obama gave his farewell speech in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. He was accompanied by First Lady Michelle Obama, his eldest child Malia, Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, but where the heck was Sasha Obama? Well, Twitter definitely has some theories as to why the youngest Obama daughter may have missed her father's final address.

Unfortunately, the answer is much more mundane than that. According to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Sasha couldn't make it out to Chicago because she had an exam in the morning. The 15-year-old is currently a sophomore at the prestigious DC private school Sidwell Friends.

Damn! And to think that I used to play hooky just to sit at home and watch The Price is Right.

"Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women. You are smart and you are beautiful but more importantly, you are kind and you are thoughtful -- and you are full of passion. And bore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily," said Obama in his final speech as President. "Of all that I have done in my life, I am most proud to be your dad."​

Hopefully Sasha aced the test, and is able to catch her father's farewell address after school.

Oh, boy. Tuesday night, President-elect Donald Trump's head advisor, Kellyanne Conway, was a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the same night that Trump's #GoldenShowers Piss-gate controversy broke and spilled all over the internet.

Kellyanne Conway was clearly defensive saying, "it's not true" before Seth Meyers even asked her any questions.

Meyers also asked Conway about Trump's failure to hold any press conferences thus far (his first since the election will be on Wednesday at 11 a.m.)

Conway answered, "The president-elect has been busy forming his government."

"But every president who puts together a government is busy," Meyers pointed out.

"They haven't had—" Conway started to say.

Meyers finished her sentence by saying, "They haven't had to meet with Kanye."
