Melania Trump is installing a 'glam room' in the White House to look her best in case she ever visits.

Just because Melania Trump has chosen to stay in NYC with Baron while her husband becomes the 45th president, it doesn't mean her touch won't be felt on the White House. Girl's gonna go get herself a glam room.

Nicole Bryl, Melania's decade-long makeup artist responsible for"softening" the future 1st lady's look during Donald's campaign, says Melania Trump must have a full-on glam room complete with photo studio lighting.

"There will absolutely be a room designated for hair, makeup and wardrobe," Bryl tells Stylish.

Melania wants a room with the most perfect lighting scenario, which will make our jobs as a creative team that much more efficient, since great lighting can make or break any look.

That efficiency is super important when you consider what a production it is to get Melania ready to be seen.

Melania and Bryl smiling for the camera.

A​ccording to Bryl, Melania's makeup application takes almost as much time as it takes to get an actual face lift.

[Each makeup session takes] about one hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted focus. If you want the look to be flawless and have it last [throughout the day], you do have to take a little extra time to make that happen.

Go ahead, Melania! Go get that White House Glam Room. In the immortal words of Michelle Obama,

"The only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."


Badass single mom builds house from the ground up using YouTube tutorials.

This badass single mom knows firsthand that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Cara Brookins and her four children built their house from the ground up themselves, using only YouTube tutorials to guide them.

The family found themselves in need of a new home back in 2008 when a domestic violence situation threatened their well-beings.

Single mom Cara knew that she wouldn't be able to afford to purchase a home, but she still wanted to give her kids a fresh start. So, she and her children built the house themselves.

"We had been just so emotionally kicked down,” Brookins told WCNC. “We could afford all the supplies so we just put it together ourselves.”

Using YouTube tutorials and the sage wisdom of Home Depot employees as their guides, the Brookins family was able to build their house all by themselves. Pretty badass, if you ask me.

Brookins had this to say to other women and families dealing with domestic violence: “Do something big. Take a big leap and set an impossible goal. With enough determination you can do it.”

Still want to hear more about the Brookins family's awesome story? Never fear! Cara is releasing a book about building her home from the ground up titled Rise, How a House Built a Family. It will be available on January 24.

Girl crowdsources tuition when parents cut her off for dating a black man. Not everyone's buying it.

18-year-old Allie Dowdle alleges that her parents took away her personal savings, car, and phone after they found out she was dating a boy named Michael who happens to be black. Dowdle, who maintains a 4.0 GPA at the private high school she currently attends in Tennessee, was left without a way to pay for her first year of college and claims she can no longer get to and from work without a car. She received a bit of financial assistance through loans, scholarships and work-study programs, but was still about $10,000 short of paying her tuition. Like any good millennial, this is when Dowdle turned to crowd funding.

They do make a cute couple.

As of Friday afternoon, Dowdle has raised $14,000 on her GoFundMe page, entitled "Allie's Tuition - Say No to Racism." However, not everyone is supportive of Dowdle, and argue that sending a privleged white girl to college is not exactly fighting racism.

One commenter wrote:

This campaign is highly offensive. Saying no to racism has nothing to do with this situation. Dating a black man and sending a privileged white girl to college who can't get a job because her parents took away her car is absolutely ridiculous. Take a bus. This campaign is an absolute insult to the millions of people who have been supporting themselves (and their families) for years, even before "they were 18," the millions of people struggling with student loan debt, the millions of people of color who are confronted with the behemoth that is racism everyday. You have other options,but unfortunately your immense privilege has not equipped you with the skills to explore those other options so you've turned to the internet to capitalize on folk's (and your own) white guilt. Your struggle is so not real.

Others echoed the sentiment, saying "being treated like a hero for dating a black guy seems pretty racist to me" and that the campaign is "steeped in privilege."

Another person who isn't too thrilled about the fundraising effort is Dowdle's father, Bill Dowdle. Dowdle, who owns a sporting goods store, told the Daily News that his decision to cut his daughter off has nothing to do with the color of her boyfriend's skin, although it is not his "preference" his daughter date a black man because of "issues" involved with biracial dating in the South. Rather, he says that he was upset that the two were dating behind his back and his teen daughter was spoiled, so "it became obvious that she needed to go out in the world and grow up." Well, that is just a twinge hard to believe after that whole "issues with biracial dating in the South" thing, but whatever you say.

In an update on her GoFundMe, she wrote that it was not her intention to shame her family, but her father's public remarks are "do not coincide with the personal opinions he has previously shared" with her.

Christmas must have been fun at their house!

Dowdle has not commented on allegations that she is exploiting her African American boyfriend for tuition money.

Of all Dr. Pimple Popper's procedures, arm lipomas might be the most popular. There's something about seeing a huge fatty lump sticking out of someone's bicep that drives us popaholics nuts. We just have to see it squeezed out.

If you feel the same way, this latest example won't disappoint. A bashful patient came all the way from Canada to finally get rid of her lipoma, and Dr. Lee quickly dispatched it with her trademark swagger. It was beautiful.

Hopefully none of the passengers on Finnair Flight 666 are superstitious. The plane departed from Copenhagen and went straight to HEL (that's Helsinki, Finland) on Friday, January 13th. SO SPOOKY.

To make things even more ~spooky~ , the plane took off around 1pm (the 13th hour) and is a 13-year-old aircraft, according to Flightradar24.

Does this sound like the elaborate plot of a Disney World ride that only has an elaborate plot so that there's something to entertain you while you're standing in line for hours on end to anyone else? Just me? Come on! This is totally the plane version of Tower of Terror, you guys.

Anyway, no one died or was inexplicably thrust into a void of darkness. Flight 666 made its safe arrival in HEL around 2:41pm on Friday the 13th of January. We're sure Satan was there to greet everyone at baggage claim.

You're my favorite dinner companion besides wine.

At least one person from 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' will be at Trump's inauguration.

According toUs Weekly, queen of sending mixed messages Caitlyn Jenner has accepted an invitation to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th.

Throughout the course of Trump's campaign, Jenner has had many positive things to say about her fellow reality television star and Republican Donald Trump. On her now canceled show I Am Cait, the former Olympian even said she thinks that Trump would be "very good for women’s issues," although she was met with protests from fellow cast members and anyone who had ever paid attention to anything Donald Trump has ever said ever. She also went on the record to say that Trump seems "very much behind the LGBT community" despite his choice to appoint Mike Pence, a noted homophobe, as his Vice President.

Although most of the Kardashian Klan supported Hillary Clinton, Jenner had called the Democratic nominee a "f*cking liar" who "couldn't care less about women." She did, however, seem to ease off Clinton after meeting her in person.

In an interview with Today back in April, Trump said that Jenner is welcome to use whatever bathroom she pleases in Trump tower (he has shifted his position North Carolina's anti-LGBT bathroom bill several times). She later took him up on that offer and taped herself strolling into Trump tower for a little pee break.

Bathroom Break

Thanks Donald! #everyonehastopee #flushdiscrimination

Posted by Caitlyn Jenner on Wednesday, April 27, 2016

South Park creators parodied Jenner's cozy relationship with Donald Trump in the most recent season, depicting the conservative woman as the Vice President to Mr. Garrison (who posed as a caricature of Trump). Of course, this was not believable because Donald Trump has made it very clear that he wants to keep women far away from the oval office.

As if we didn't love Ryan Gosling enough already, here's an adorable story about the things he does to make his mom happy.

Gosling was on The Graham Norton Show recently, and told a story about how he got Meryl Streep to compliment his mom, who was feeling self-conscious about her very tall beehive hairstyle at an award show.

I've got to tell you guys, this is pretty freaking adorable.

Other celebs also joined Norton to talk about their moms on the episode, including Ben Affleck and Ryan Gosling's La La Land co-star, Emma Stone. You can watch the whole segment below.

We're sure Ryan's mom had no further doubts about her hair after getting a compliment from queen Meryl Streep herself. (Regardless of how fabricated that compliment may have been.)

Artist has slight overreaction to girl who didn't want to kiss him.

Redditor AWildSketchAppeared is known for drawing beautiful pencil sketches to illustrate other redditor's posts. But when it comes to his personal life, things are less than harmonious. Recently, he had a heartbreaking experience when a girl he liked rejected his advances, and then decided she didn't want to be his friend either. His reaction, which he decided to share on Facebook, was intense. And in an ironic twist of fate, it subsequently went viral on Reddit. Check it out, and you'll understand why.

AWildSketchAppeared saw the thread and felt the need to explain himself. His comment, while not explaining everything, does makes him seem less like a modern-day Vincent Van Gogh.

Wew.... OK....

Hello, everyone! I honestly hope all of you can take the time to read this....

First off, that's basically a big-time summarization of events that transpired. I could have write a lot more detail of what happened, like a 10-page essay worth even, but I didn't want to dwell on it that much and wanted to move on for good after that venting. I'll just get to the point.

I'll admit right off the bat that when I wrote that, emotions were really high for me. I'd usually keep things like that to myself, but as someone who suffers bouts of depression, bottling things up like that takes a bigger toll on me than just to talk to anyone about it. I was angry, and it was pretty irrationally at that after a night's sleep.

But I was not angry over the attempted kiss, hell I was content to saving whatever friendship is left between us. She thought that kiss was kinda flattering, so I assumed we were back on good terms. It was a mistake and I owned it, I tried to move on, I think that's where she felt "guilty". What set me off was the text she sent about breaking off completely. I would have been more content if she just stopped talking with me right from where it went to shit instead of making it sound so.... officially(?), out of nowhere like that. This was about week after she texted me back, about anything.

Anyway, if there's anything to really learn here when it comes to developing relationships with the opposite sex: better safe than sorry, just tell him/her what your intending here. I've have relationships that started either way, through verbal or body language. I took the latter route here, and it didn't work out. Live and learn. Just save any further heartache and drop off completely instead of making it sound convoluted like you're getting fired from a job. That's the tone she had when I last talked to her. I find that to be irreparably demeaning.

Nonetheless I don't regret sending that. Was it inflammatory? I'd say so, but it was a better option than to keep it private. I feel better now.

I wish I could say the same for the rest of us.

Local hero gets twisted revenge on the DMV for wasting his time.

In these polarizing times, there is one thing that unites America: hatred of the DMV. It's a bureaucratic nightmare that seems hell-bent on wasting everyone's time with epic lines and notoriously surly, slow-moving staff.

A man Nick Stafford from Virginia had had enough, and declared all-out war on the hated institution.

According to the Herald Courier, Stafford's problems began when he had a simple question for his local DMV center about registering his son's car, but was forced to deal with the state's main call-center. Stafford said: NOPE. He sued the DMV for the direct phone numbers of all the local DMV's, and he won.

But he still thirsted for revenge.

Stafford ended up owing the DMV $2,987.14 in car taxes. So he paid his entire bill in pennies. Five wheelbarrows full of 298,714​ pennies, to be exact, which by law they are required to accept.

Here he is triumphantly wheeling in his "payment" like a soldier headed into battle:

To any other person or news organizations: you are more than welcome to use this or any other footage on my page , no permission needed

Posted by Nick Stafford on Wednesday, January 11, 2017

For full-effect, Stafford had hired 11 people to help him break open every single roll of pennies from the bank and dump them into wheelbarrows. The nearly 300,000 pennies weighed 1,600 pounds and took the staff a full day to count by hand.

To any other person or news organizations: you are more than welcome to use this or any other footage on my page , no permission needed Video is after the DMV's coin counting machine started to jam and the video shows the DMV counting the pennies, by hand, all 298,745 of them.

Posted by Nick Stafford on Wednesday, January 11, 2017

One could argue this is cruel and unnecessary punishment against underpaid government employees. But most commenters on Facebook have lauded him as a hero, which is just a testament to how many of us have been wronged by the DMV.

Despite the fact that he probably ruined their day, the DMV staff were "really nice" about counting the pennies by hand, said Stafford. I'm guessing because DMV staff also know that the DMV is the absolute worst.

ICYMI: the forecast has been non-stop golden showers all week, ever since Buzzfeed published an "unsubstantiated report" that our President-elect once paid Russian prostitutes to pee in front of him.

MMMM nom nom nom.

The burger is a creation of DC-area restaurant Community and is "topped with a tiny pickle." It also comes with a "happy ending" glazed donut. And if you're not sold already, $5 of each $20 burger will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

Commenters on Facebook are, much like our country, extremely divided.

Two bidet companies are feuding on Twitter and it got hilariously savage.

Gather round, children, and let me tell you the story of comedian Steve Zaragoza from Los Angeles, who accidentally sparked a vicious feud between two rival bidet companies on Twitter.

What's a bidet? It's a device, similar in appearance to a toilet, that squirts water into your bum to keep your private parts clean. They come from a far-away land called Europe, where the bums are more sensitive and sophisticated than ours.

Here is how the story begins:

Later that very day, a confident bidet company called Bidot took the bait:

But perhaps they were too confident, because two days later, a bidet company called Brondell, Inc replied:

Zargoza told them what he was looking for:

And Brondell made an enticing offer:

This is when guns were drawn.

From across the internet, Bidot fired the first shots:

Our friend Steve could barely believe his eyes.

But the situation only escalated from there, as Brondell fired back with this low blow:

Then Bio brought out the Big Gifs:

So Brodell whipped out an even sharper weapon: the word "actually."

Bio shot back:

It was then that Zaragoza knew that he had won, having achieved the dream of "perfect meme."

He was showered with RT's from all across the land, as his peers regaled him with the highest honors:

The lesson we learned tonight? Don't ever wrong a bidet company.

Also never, ever approach a bidet face-forward, a lesson I learned during a trip to England when I was ten.

Carrie Fisher won't be digitally recreated in future 'Star Wars' films, despite the rumors.

$

You won't be able to see Carrie Fisher in new Star Wars movies after this year. The rumors about the star being digitally recreated had become so prevalent that Lucasfilm made an official statement on the topic on Friday on StarWars.com.

"We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address," the statement reads. "We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa."

The technology has already been used to recreate young Princess Leia for the latest film, Rogue One, and Grand Moff Tarkin, played by the late Peter Cushing, who died in 1994. Digital recreation is most easily done when an actor is still alive, as was the case with Fisher's character in Rogue One, and is limited to less detailed shots that don't closely show the character's face when created without a living character to work from, according to EW.

Lucasfilm's decision to recreate Peter Cushing posthumously in several movies indicates that it's something the film production company had no moral issues with previously. Perhaps with Fisher, whose death has been deeply mourned since she passed away one day before her mother, Debbie Reynolds, in late December, it feels like a more sensitive case. While some fans might clamor for any continuation of the Star Wars franchise they know and love, Lucasfilm has decided they'd rather not play God and resurrect Leia, which would have likely placated some fans while deeply upsetting others.

That being said, the writers will now either have to recast the role (which you can be sure will have diehard fans up in arms no matter who they pick) or write Leia out of the scripts. EW also reported that while Fisher has already filmed her parts for Episode XIII, slated to come out later this year, some changes will have to be made to the Episode IX script because of Fisher's death.

"Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family," Lucasfilm closed their statement. "She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars."

Congratulations on reaching an age where you wake up at the time you used to go to sleep on a Saturday.

Donald Trump allegedly invited former Miss Hungary to his infamous Moscow Hotel Room.

In 2013 while attending the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, President-elect Donald Trump (a married man) allegedly invited former Miss Hungary Kata Sarka up to his hotel room, New York Daily News reports. This information comes by way of an interview with Sarka from last May which has been unearthed as a result of the unverified dossier published by Buzzfeed earlier this week.

"We were in Russia, at the final for the Miss Universe and then a man approached me and grabbed my hand, drew me to himself, and asked 'Who are you?'," Sarka, 30, said to host Kasza Tibor on the show, which takes place in a car. "He asked in English and I was so embarrassed...I was so embarrassed that I couldn't say anything else but 'Hungary!'"

Sarka and host Tibor chatted about Trump's proposition while cruising in a convertible.

Sarka continues: "And then he said 'and why are you here?' And he gave me his business card with his private number and told me in which hotel and which room he is staying in. And his name is Donald Trump."

This is allegedly the business card he handed her, which honestly is fine but nothing special? I was expecting more gold.

The proposition of Sarka occurred on the same trip that Trump is alleged to have partaken in sexual escapades including ordering Russian hookers to perform golden showers. It's the latest accusation in a routine where claims against Trump are made, Trump denies them, and the day of the inauguration draws ever nearer with nothing having changed. What is most shocking about the story is not that it happened, in fact I find this so believable it's almost quotidian and barely a news story. What's shocking is that he didn't just grab her by the p*ssy if he was so interested in her. After all, doesn't Trump believe this is what women love? And wouldn't we assume that the reason Trump has been so invested in the Miss Universe competition is because he cannot see women as anything besides sexual objects? This behavior only confirms the sad facts we already know about our soon-to-be President.

What's interesting, though, is that Sarka is laughing about it, along with the host of the show. The conversation is spliced between clips of them cruising through a city with the top down, singing along to music. It's quite a carefree scene. It brings up the question of why Sarka feels so emotionally disconnected from the situation, and puts the current American cycle of outrage into sharp relief. Will there be a time in the future when we laugh off the claims made about our President and react to him with a dismissing giggle? I hope not. Just because Trump has tried to make himself come off as an idiot (see: everything he posts on Twitter), he is in a position of power that makes him incredibly dangerous, and we need to continue to mount evidence against him.

3 Doors Down has risen from the dead to play the inauguration, and Twitter is having a field day.

I can think of nothing better to usher Donald Trump into the presidency and the American people into their worst nightmares turned reality, than the music of 3 Doors Down, whose single "Kryptonite" is like a fever dream that jolts me back to the year 2000, when I was 10 and my brain was a horrible encyclopedia for pop lyrics and the intricacies of long division. Still, they refuse to exit my recallable memory; I hear the aggressive chorus, "if I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?" thrumming through my head at the thought of the "alt rock" group.

While the public didn't managed to guess that the band would be among the few musical acts, along with Toby Keith, to play the inauguration, in hindsight it makes perfect, awful sense. It's embarrassing that the inauguration committee had to dredge up a band that no one has thought about in at least a decade to perform, and Twitter has justifiably trolled the hell out of the announcement, likening the ceremony to a county fair. Here, I give you, the best Twitter owns of 3 Doors Down for their very bad decision to play at the inauguration:
