Jimmy Fallon collected a whole new group of "bad signs" sent in by viewers, and no, not "bad signs" as in crossing a black cat or finding a suspicious mole on your body— "bad signs" as in someone is probably going to get fired for making them. Check out the ill placed, weirdly worded, hilarious signs below.
Okay, maybe not all of these people who made these signs should be fired. Whoever put up that "I like big mutts" sign deserves a promotion.
Matt Damon isn't allowed to be on Jimmy Kimmel's show (it's a long, but very funny story), but on Monday night, he snuck on dressed as the Patriots' Tom Brady, riding his Super Bowl win (and MVP award) high. Even after being de-helmeted, Damon proclaimed, "I won the Super Bowl and I won your stupid show!"
Damon has managed to get onto the show before, hiding inside Ben Affleck's suit.
Definitely looking forward to Damon's next appearance on the show, whenever (and however) that may be.
Rosie O'Donnell tweeted Monday that "if called," she would "serve" her nation—and comedy institution SNL—by stepping onto the 30 Rock stage as Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon.
It's common knowledge that O'Donnell and Trump have a long running feud. The man even called her out by name during the first presidential debate. But where this story really gets started—and fascinating—is with Melissa McCarthy's impression of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer last weekend.
While Spicer played off her phenomenal impression in comments to the media, calling the show "funny" even if he thought McCarthy "could dial back," a Monday report from Politicoposited that reactions weren't so cheery behind the scenes.
The article quotes several unnamed sources, including a "Trump donor" who said "Trump doesn't like his people to look weak." Read the full story here, but here's the crux:
More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him.
On that line, the people took to Twitter. It was time to draft Rosie O'Donnell into SNL's war of impressions.
And she's down.
With Trump reportedly bristling over media reports and SNL parodies about advisor Steve Bannon's outsized influence in the White House, imagine the following sketch.
Steve Bannon lords over Trump at the Oval Office, covered, as he has been so far on the show, in a grim reaper costume.
Trump asks: "Who are you, anyway?"
Bannon rips off the hood. It's Rosie.
"Just a fat pig."
57-year-old Roger Logan had been growing an abnormally large abdomen for the last 15 years that caused him to spend his days sitting with his stomach on the floor. Logan knew something strange was happening, but every time he went to the doctor they told him he was "just fat."
“From here up I was a normal person,” Logan explained to ABC23. “I used to say ‘Put a strap around you and (carry) three bags of cement around you all day long, just swinging.'”
None of us wants to admit when we're fat, but Logan was so sure this wasn't a case of too many cookies that he ended up researching his symptoms on his own.
He was eventually taken seriously by Dr. Vipul Dev, who agreed to perform surgery on him at Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield, California.
They discovered that Logan's "cement bag" was actually a 130lb benign tumor, and were able to safely remove the whole thing.
And just like that, the weight of a small adult was off of him. Logan and his doctor really should have considered booking him on The Biggest Loser first, it definitely wouldn't be the least crazy way someone's lost weight on that show.
Just add this to the long list of crazy things Donald Trump has said: He believes that Barack Obama actually likes him.
During an interview with Bill O'Reilly for Fox News that aired Monday, Trump spoke about his relationship with former president Barack Obama, and though Trump has long waged war against Obama by insisting that he was not a citizen, critiquing his leadership skills and often tweeting ill of the former President, he swears that the two men actually like each other.
"I don’t know if he’ll admit this, but he likes me. I like him," said Trump.
“How do you know he likes you?” O’Reilly asked.
"Because I can feel it," Trump replied. "That’s what I do in life. It’s called, like, 'I understand.'"
It is very possible that Trump is mistaking Barack Obama being a grown-up for him "liking him." After all, President Obama understands that you can disagree with someone and refrain from tweeting insults about them.
“He was vicious during the campaign toward me, and I was vicious toward him." Trump went on to say during the interview. "We said horrible things about each other, and then we hop into the car and we drive down Pennsylvania Avenue together, we don’t even talk about it. Politics is amazing."
Yep. Politics sure is.
Barack and Michelle Obama have been catching up on R & R at the Virgin Islands home of billionaire Richard Branson (it's fitting that Branson has a home there, given that he founded the Virgin Group). It's a well-deserved vacation, and Barack has apparently been using part of it to learn how to kitesurf. You can almost watch his hair un-graying.
Branson told WSBTV that he and the former president got into a friendly competition (complete with friendly strangling, according to the picture above) to see who could learn a new sport more quickly—Obama and kitesurfing versus Branson and foilboard surfing.
Branson said,
So it was tremendous to offer him the chance to learn to kitesurf. The sport has really taken off in the past decade and we have the perfect conditions and team to help anyone learn. I have also wanted to learn foilboard surfing. So we decided to set up a friendly challenge: could Barack learn to kitesurf before I learned to foilboard? We agreed to have a final day battle to see who could stay up the longest.
So who won? Obama, of course. Because yes, he can.
TMZ ran into a few dudes after the Super Bowl, and the kids are notable simply because they had absolutely zero business being there.
Not a ticket. Not a rich, well-connected relative. Just a... ladder.
Here was their genius plan: grab a ladder they found lying around and just carry it into the stadium like they had somewhere to go, right passed security.
"You're important if you have a ladder, okay?"
Why did that work?
Sure, it could be faked. But one of the guys behind the scheme, a YouTuber named Andrew Peterson, shared a longer video of their many failed attempts to get in the secured area—and they seem exactly like the type of genuinely amped up high school kids who want to do something crazy for internet points.
At one point, they run into Guy Fieri.
But they still think it was worth it.
Gigi Hadid has been accused of racism for what some perceive as mocking Asians in a video where the supermodel is squinting while holding a small Buddha.
Her little sister, Bella Hadid, shared the video on her Instagram story over the weekend. It was quickly called out on social media:
According to US Weekly, Gigi Hadid apparently thought it would be funny to hold up a cookie shaped like the Buddha's face and mimic his expression, proving that supermodels have no idea what to do with cookies.
The internet was pissed, viewing this video as disrespectful, and expressed their discontent.
Earlier today Zayn Malik, Gigi's beloved, tried to defend her with a cheeky joke, which really doesn't help that much. When asked about the video by a fan, Malik, who is of Southeast Asian descent, decided now is the time to remind us that they're sexing.
Yeah, it was not well-received.
Gigi Hadid has been ridiculously ignorant and accused of racism before. In a Vogue Italia shoot last fall, she straight-up Rachel Dolezaled and posed as a black woman while wearing an Afro.
Come on, dude.
Not mocking people of other races is super easy. You just simply don't mock or pose as people of other races, and BAM! You've succeeded.
In her first official taped statement since President Donald Trump's yuuuuuge, record-breaking inauguration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just reminded everyone that she's still as feminist as ever.
HRC recorded the statement in support of MAKERS, a feminist leadership conference happening this week in California. The theme of the gathering this year is #BEBOLD, and hey, it doesn't get much bolder than being the first woman to run for president of the United States, so Clinton was a fitting choice.
In the MAKERS video, Hillary Clinton gave a shoutout to the women's marches that took place worldwide in January, saying, "Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organized a march that galvanized millions of people all over our country and across the world."
Clinton encouraged women to "step up and speak out. We need you to dare greatly and lead boldly." Even after all she's been through, her takeaway message was strong and hopeful:
"I remain convinced that yes, the future is female."
After the election, most Hillary Clinton sightings occurred deep in the woods of rural New York, but she's been busy behind the scenes, working on new books and speaking engagements. Plus that whole supporting her old rival at his inauguration thing.
Good to see Hillary Clinton back in the feminist empowerment game.
Here's something that probably won't come as a huge shock: Malia Obama is an awesome intern.
Lena Dunham was recently interviewed on The Howard Stern Show and talked about Malia Obama's time as an intern on the set of Girls backin the summer of 2015.
"Obviously, we weren't making her go get our coffee," Dunham says of Obama. "But she wanted to do all the jobs, that was the cool thing. She was totally enthusiastic."
Dunham went on to say that in addition to being up for any task, she was also impressed by how smart Malia is. (No surprise there, given her brilliant and highly educated parents.) Dunham said,
She is so smart, I once asked her, "What's your favorite movie?" She was like, "Do you want me to list it by favorite, director, writer, or cinematographer?"
I was like, "You're smarter than me, let's just be done with this topic."
"She's done such a good job, and clearly her parents have done such a good job," Dunham continued. "When you see that family together, they're not performative."
Malia's time on Girls was just the beginning of her career in the entertainment industry. She's interning for film producer Harvey Weinstein before she heads off to Harvard in the fall.
You can listen to Lena Dunham's full segment with Howard Stern below. The final season of Girls premieres this weekend.
On Saturday, a woman watching George Lopez perform comedy at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, found one of his jokes racist, so she stood up and flipped him off from the audience. Video of the joke, the heckler, and Lopez's reaction was posted on TMZ, and he's not kidding around.
The heckler's gesture did not go unnoticed by George Lopez and it's an understatement to say he was not a fan of it. He actually went fairly cuckoo on the lady, calling her a bitch, cursing at her, and repeatedly telling her to shut up or leave.
Lopez had just said, "There are only two rules in the Latino family. Don’t marry somebody black and don’t park in front of our house."
At that point, the woman stood and gave him the finger. George Lopez did not take her criticism well, immediately yelling at her, “Sit your fuckin’ ass down! Sit your fuckin’ ass down! I’m talking, bitch. Sit your fucking ass down!”
He continued:
If you can't take a joke, you're in the wrong motherfucking place. . . So sit your fucking ass down, or get the fuck out of here. . . You got two choices: shut the fuck up, or get the fuck out. I'll tell you what, I'll make the choice for you—get the fuck out of here. Bye.
Jesus Christ on a cracker, that is intense.
Between the Twitter feud with Dippin' Dots, sharing an satirical video from The Onion about himself, and giving "alternative facts" about the size of the crowds at Donald Trump's inauguration, trolling White House press secretary Sean Spicer almost seems too easy at this point. However, once people discovered that Spicer had a public Venmo account, it simply became too hard to resist.
Venmo is an app where you can transfer money between users through your smartphone. In addition to sending money to someone, you can also request to be paid by another Venmo user. Now people are requesting money from Spicer for everything from their medical bills to Planned Parenthood donations.
But some are offering to pay the White House press secretary for things like gum, hair plugs, and a pocket constitution for his boss.
Unfortunately, it looks like that Spicer isn't too fond of the joke, and has been denying all requests for money. Aw man.
No word on if he is accepting the donations, though. He can buy a lot of gum with that money!
In January, a bunch of beautiful men walked a catwalk in Paris modeling what we'll call blue steel, a collection of Bernie Sanders-inspired menswear by Balenciaga.
The looks included:
On Sunday, CNN's usually-really-serious Jake Tapper asked Sanders about becoming a fashion icon. The Vermont senator was gleeful and embarrassed and it was delightful.
"Did you ever think that you would become a fashion icon?" asked Tapper to a chuckling Sanders.
"No, not quite, Jake. I think of my many attributes, being a great dresser or a fashion maven is not one of them."
Christie Brinkley is making waves in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, posing in a swimsuit and walking on water.
The Uptown Girl poses with her daughters, Alexa Ray Joel and Sailor Brinkley Cook, on the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual issue dedicated exclusively to water sports.
"Thank you Sports Illustrated for sending the powerful message that good things come in packages of every size and we do not come with an expiration date!" she writes.
There is indeed no expiration date, especially since she puts the "Christ" in "Christie."
This is a big moment for the family. Sports Illustrated released a home video of the women in action.
Brinkley first posed for the issue in 1979, and is only a few years away from the Social Security retirement age and looks like this.
It's official: 63 is the new 23.
Jamie Lynn Spear's daughter, Maddie Aldridge, was involved in a horrific ATV accident while on a family hunting trip on Sunday, and now her aunt Britney Spears is reaching out to fans via social media to pray for her recovery.
The post, which Britney Spears shared on her Instagram, features an adorable photo of 8-year-old Maddie along with the text, "Need all the wishes and prayers for my niece."
Details about the accident are still coming in after the family released as a statement saying some of the details released in TMZ's initial report were "incorrect." What we know for sure at the moment: Maddie is in "stable but critical condition" at a hospital in New Orleans.
The Tangipahoa Sheriff's Office released a statement to Us Weekly yesterday with more information about the terrifying accident itself, which occurred when Maddie over-corrected the vehicle to avoid hitting a drainage ditch:
“The ATV and child were instantly submerged in the water right before their eyes. Within seconds the child’s mother, stepfather and other family members reached the pond, dove in and attempted to rescue the child to no avail. The child was trapped and secured by the seatbelt and the ATV’s safety netting."
This is so, so scary.
Britney and Jamie Lynn's dad, Jamie Spears, released a statement similar to Britney's, telling Entertainment Tonight, "All I can say is pray for our baby Maddie."
Everyone keep on sending positive thoughts and prayers to this family. They need it.
Melania Trump filed a lawsuit Monday claiming that she sees her position as First Lady as a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to make a whole ton of money.
In a defamation suit against The Daily Mail, Trump's lawyer asserts that a bunch of lucrative licensing deals have been hampered after they repeated a story published in a Slovenian magazine that she had worked as a prostitute.
The Mail has since printed a retraction admitting that the claims were unsupported, but the First Lady is seeking damages, believing her reputation has been too soiled to attract quality branding opportunities.
According to the suit filed by lawyer Charles Harder, the man who won Hulk Hogan a $140 million verdict in his defamation lawsuit against Gawker, Melania Trump "had the unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person…to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world.”
Trump is looking for $150 million in damages in lost branding opportunities for, "among other things, apparel, accessories, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance.”
Because selling $150 million dollars worth of lotion and shampoo is what being the First Lady is all about.
It's no secret that some people get a little bit over emotional when they're watching their favorite sports team, and that is especially true when your favorite team happens to be playing in the Super Bowl. One little girl decided to take notes on her dad's reactions throughout the big game. (Based on her notes, her dad is definitely a Patriots fan.) Her log of his feelings is pretty hilarious.
Reddit user BraveReddit posted an image of a notebook with the caption "She took notes of her dad's reactions throughout the Super Bowl."
The full text of her notes reads:
2-5-17
8:10 Halftime Falcons 21 Patriots 3
8:15 Lady Gaga comes in
Football starts again at 8:40
