Gingers can't help that they all look alike. KIDDING—of course they don't all look alike, but it sounds like celebrity gingers do sometimes get mistaken for each other. Monday on The Late Late Show, Harry Potter's Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) told host James Corden people often think he's musician Ed Sheeran.
He joked, "It's kind of 50/50 now. Someone stops me—it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me."
But maybe the Harry Potter star's not even really joking. According to Rupert Grint, sometimes other celebrities actually can't tell them apart. Grint explained, "Leo Sayer—he came up to me and said he loved my music, of course thinking I was Ed. I play along."
Maybe Rupert Grint should work on releasing an album? Or Ed Sheeran should try his hand at acting? Just to make it even more confusing.
Josh Gad as LeFou, making his case for Best Sideburns in a Motion Picture.
A movie theater in Alabama has refused to show the film over the character, but as OUT Magazine points out, "people will simply go to the other 4,000 or so theaters showing the film to see it." Just as absurd and perhaps even scarier, the "Culture Minister" of Russia said "action would be taken" regarding the movie, perhaps in the form of a ban in that country, according to the BBC.
On Monday, LeFou himself responded to the "controversy" in an interview with People. Even though Josh Gad thinks that "everything that's needed to be said on this issue has probably, definitely" been said already, he used the opportunity to add a thoughtful response.
"To reiterate I think everything that's needed to be said on this issue has probably, definitely been said by now, including by people who have not seen the film passing judgments," said Josh Gad.
"And what I would say is this film is one of inclusiveness, it's one that has something to offer everyone. And there are things in it that I do think are really important. And probably at the forefront of that is this idea of never judging a book by its cover."
Gad continued: "There is so much fear out there of that which we don't understand, of that which we don't know. And you have a character in Gaston who uses his charm offensive to whip other people into a frenzy, to go and attack somebody they've never met, somebody that's different, somebody that only represents a danger because he says that he represents a danger."
"And I think that that theme is as relevant today as it was when Beauty and the Beast was first written 300-years-ago. So that's what I hope people take from it."
Kim Kardashian is in on the joke. The subject of many memes showed that she can make memes herself, as the memee also becomes the memer.
Having fun with Snapchat's funhouse mirror effect, Kardashian Snapped a picture with a warped waist and the words, "Haters will say it's photoshopped."

"Haters will say it's photoshopped" is a phrase the kids use on pictures that are so very clearly photoshopped, and Kardashian knows how to be tongue in cheek (and it's a whole lotta cheek).
Here's a story that makes me grateful to be an only child: Twitter user Samuel McCrae decided to pull a prank on his sister four days ago by stealing her pet goldfish and replacing them with carrots. This is pretty hilarious, for everyone except the sister. Because she still hasn't noticed.
McCrae posted a photo of the switch on Twitter, where it has gone viral.
Nice home AND they get to eat?? This does seem like a much better environment for fish than that measly jug. It's almost like this guy is playing a "prank" on his sister to cover up his empathy for animals.
Actress Marion Cotillard sparked rumors that she got lip injections when she posted a series of selfies to Instagram on Monday. Her fans promptly spiraled into a collective meltdown.
"NOOO NO NO NO she got her lips done?????? Is she trying to look like Angelina or some shit? Why god," one Instagram follower commented.
“o.m.g. They look SO bad. NOOOOOO she was the most gorgeous natural beauty WHYYYYYY I hate Kylie Jenner for sparking this trend,” wrote another.
Cotillard's photos also had some fans comparing her with the likes of Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie, both women who are famous for their lips (among other things).
According to Us Weekly, a rep for Cotillard later confirmed that the actress didn't actually have any cosmetic work done on her lips. She took the selfies while she was in character on the set of her new film, Rock 'N Roll. Psych!
Turns out Marion Cotillard is a talented artist and a master prankster. Guess she won't be guest starring on the next season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Since that tweet went viral, guys everywhere have been trying to emulate Michael. Some of them are doing it very literally, and just straight-up copying his pun. One such guy, known to the people of Reddit as Cuddlebot4000 (best username ever?), decided to try it on a woman named Madeline he matched with on Tinder. But just as he's no Michael, Madeline turned out to be no Natalie.
She was immediately turned off by the pun, and asked Cuddlebot4000 to stop. So of course he didn't. What followed was one of the most awkward Tinder conversations we've ever had the pleasure of reading.
Needless to say, the immature people of Reddit think this guy is a hero.
If only Madeline had been so appreciative. And honestly, I'm surprised she doesn't like lime puns. She seems pretty sour.
A post shared by Donald Trump Jr. (@donaldjtrumpjr) on
“Dear @nbcsnl I stole somebody’s snack today (hint it may be Eric). Don’t tell him. #heshungry #snl #weekendupdate,” he wrote. “PS if you ever need a Don Jr. fill in I’m available and I do a much better job with the hair than Mikey [Day].”
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Hiddleston got "testy" when he was asked about his romance with Taylor Swift. Specifically, he was asked if he has any regrets.
"What should I regret, in your mind?" Hiddleston responded in what The Telegraph says was a testy manner. "I would rather not talk about this if that's alright."
Eventually, after "a long pause with his hand on his chin," Hiddleston continued:
I'm just thinking about this. Everyone is entitled to a private life. I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment, and in my mind I don't conflict the two. My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life. And those two things are separate.
Do you think he maybe regrets wearing that "I Heart T.S." tank top?
But apparently the group of young Republicans from Georgia were super-excited to meet the President. They even screamed like tweens at a Justin Bieber concert.
It turns out, you really never do know what surprises may await you on a White House tour! Because when the President posed for a photo opp with his arms outstretched, he didn't realize there was someone behind him. Someone very important.
Trump just surprised visitors on a White House tour. Crowd loved it. Notice the wall behind him. pic.twitter.com/iogSRJGXJo
Correct, that is a painting of Hillary Clinton on the wall, looking as regal and presidential as ever. It's almost like a sign reminding us that she won the popular vote and, in an alternate reality*, might still be president.
I'm giving you all of this info because when you see this photo she shared on Twitter today, if you're anything like me, you will have questions.
Today on Twitter, Ciara shared a family photo from her maternity photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar.The photo featured Ciara, baby Future, and Russell Wilson's hands (and shoulders?). They are all nude.
Besides the nudity, they're not that similar (Beyoncé's has fewer hands and limbs). But much like Beyoncé's photo, Ciara's pregnancy photo is practically begging to be made into a glorious meme.
Haters are going to hate, it's part of the job description. But at the end of the day, what Ciara's family does with their bodies is up to Ciara and her family.
If Ciara wanna hold her naked son while her husband hold their unborn then guess what?...that's what gonna happen
Appearing on the Sirius XM show The Michael Smerconish Program, Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a curious theory as to why Donald Trump can't keep his Apprentice successor off his Twitter timeline.
"Final question, unrelated subject, and I'd be derelict if I didn't ask," began the host, with an eye on his ratings. "Why do you think the president is fixated on you? Why does he keep talking about you through his Twitter feed?"
The discussion on Donald Trump starts at the 7:35 mark.
"I think he's in love with me," responded Schwarzenegger, slightly amused. Donald Trump has tweeeted about Schwarzenegger's "destroyed" Apprentice ratings, his "bad" Apprentice ratings, and even touched on that same compelling theme during remarks at a National Prayer Breakfast.
"Is that what it is?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"You've had a long relationship with him."
"Oh, yes." Then Arnold Schwarzenegger began to laugh. And the man clearly likes to laugh. He was in The Kindergarten Cop, after all. And his laugh continued, taking the show to its conclusion.
But is Arnold Schwarzenegger—Kindergarten Cop, Barbarian, Governator—on to a compelling theory? Does Donald Trump sublimate his all consuming love for a subject via tweet? According to this theory, here are some other things Trump's in love with:
If you didn't know anything about the president, these would probably strike you as the kind of tweets any politician would release. They're certainly a far cry from the disjointed, paranoid Twitter rants for which he's famous. But all the same, these didn't help his reputation with women, because women still remember what he said to Billy Bush.
I did try and f*ck her. She was married … I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look … I just start kissing them, it's like a magnet. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it ... Grab them by the pussy…
Back in February, Us Weeklyreported that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, both 44, were getting divorced for real. The couple had announced their split nearly two years ago, but Jennifer Garner reportedly decided to file for divorce one fateful Friday in 2017. And Bennifer fans wept. (Bennifer meaning Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, not Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, the original Bennifer.)
But now, like a bad infomercial, just wait—there's more! Peopleis reporting that, according to a Garner-adjacent source, "Jen has called off the divorce."
Called off the divorce! "She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try."
Another source says the decision was mutual. "There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents."
Bennifer have three children—Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 4.
For now, this is good news for all you Bennifer-ers out there. Until the next gossip report...
On the eve of International Women's Day, at 10 pm Tuesday night, the Statue of Liberty—symbol of freedom, acceptance of immigrants, and dope movies about apes taking over the Earth—went lights out, according to CNN.
The National Park Service blamed a "temporary, unplanned outage" caused by repair work on damage inflicted by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As New Yorkers know, this type of long-delayed construction work is not uncommon.
But the timing of the outage, just hours before a nationwide general strike dubbed "A Day Without a Woman," was not easy to ignore.
The Statue of Liberty went on strike.
1.
Apparently the Statue of Liberty lights went out due to a power failure. But I would argue women are also protesting due to a power failure.
ICYMI: the Statue of Liberty experienced a power outage this evening. Nothing symbolic to see here, just teeming shores cloaked in darkness. pic.twitter.com/5AcchCKOgA
March 8th is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate the world's she-roes and their strength in enduring choruses of "What about International Men's Day?" (yes, it exists, it's November 19th, now step aside and let women have a full 24 hours).
Here are the best, funniest tweets from women on the occasion, because dudes have the other 364 days.
On Saturday, stars from around the world met in Hamburg to attend Germany's prestigious Golden Camera Awards. One star who didn't make it was Ryan Gosling—but the producers didn't know that. German comedians Joachim ‘Joko’ Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf had duped them into thinking the beloved hunk would attend to accept his award for La La Land, but in reality they had replaced him with a cheap Gosling look-alike. It was only when he took the stage that everyone realized what had happened.
As you can see, the reaction from the crowd, including international stars like Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell, was mixed. (The impersonator's obnoxious swagger didn't help.) But although Goslingheads might consider the prank to be in poor taste, there's no arguing that it's an impressive achievement in the field of trolling.
Apparently, Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf (stars of the popular German prank showJoko vs. Klaas —The Battle Around the World) had created a fake talent agency and used it to convince a producer that Gosling would attend. But there was a catch—they said Gosling suffers from stage fright, and thus would not attend the red carpet or sit in the audience. The producer, who evidently knows nothing about Ryan Gosling, agreed.
Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf created a behind-the-scenes video explaining how they pulled it off.
And this one explains what happened afterward.
Those guys are lucky they escaped with their lives. Telling people they're going to see Ryan Gosling and then letting them down is a good way to get yourself torn apart by a murderous horny mob.
