Sorry your town has all the drama of "Big Little Lies" and none of the beachfront property.


Brooklyn Beckham got the same ‘problematic’ tattoo as his dad and people are furious.

Brooklyn Beckham, son of soccer star David Beckham and Posh Spice, got a new tattoo to match the tattoo his dad has on his chest. And though the idea of matching father-son tats warms my ink-loving heart, this specific tattoo, a portrait of a Native American chief, is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. Mainly because Brooklyn Beckham, who was born in the UK, is not Native American (and for the record, neither is his dad).

And we are done x

"And we are done x" wrote the 18-year-old in the caption.

Holy cultural appropriation Batman!

Thank you so much Mark x just like dads

I'd comment on a person who is not Native American (the Beckhams are actually British) getting a tattoo of a Native American tribal chief, but commenting is what Instagram commenters do best! So I'll let them take this one.

As many have pointed out, the tattoo is "a bit culturally insensitive."

(From now on I'm ending all of my disses with, "but go off I guess")

At least the pic sparked an interesting discussion about cultural appropriation.

And this person made a good point:

To be fair, not everyone finds the tattoo offensive. This person, who describes themselves as "real deal Native American" says it's "BADASS" and "art":

And a lot of people are just asking "BUT WHY???"

In his defense, maybe Brooklyn Beckham has a really, really good explanation for this tattoo that he hasn't shared with us yet. Brooklyn? We're waiting.

The internet is horrified by the way this person carries their pizzas.

Generally, I adopt a "live and let live" philosophy and try not to judge others for their weird quirks, but the way this person is carrying their pizza boxes crosses a line. (Apparently these sideways pizza monsters are everywhere.)

Over the weekend, someone posted this photo on Imgur:

"I think I'm witnessing a drug deal. I mean who the hell carries their pizza like that?" the Imgur user wrote.

The person later clarified in the comments that the boxes were from Canadian pizza chain, Pizza Pizza. The pizzas were not frozen, and they couldn't have been calzones because calzones come in different boxes.

Eventually the image made its way over to Twitter, where it quickly went viral.

Naturally, people were horrified that anyone would carry their pizzas sideways.

People were extremely worried that all the gooey, delicious cheese was going to slide right off the pizza.

Apparently this person isn't alone, though. One user pointed out that their mom carries cakes sidways. CAKES!

I know this image was probably hard to view for people who like the cheese on their pizzas to stay firmly intact, so I'd just like to apologize if it has disturbed you to your very core.

Although Melania Trump currently enjoys a taxpayer-funded trial separation away from The Donald in Manhattan, she is still First Lady of the United States. With her title comes an official portrait, hearkening back to her modelling days with an aesthetic straight outta the '90s.

Twitter has some takes on this future addition to the Smithsonian.

1. There's an app for that.

2. She's a '90s girl.

3. Something to remember her by.

4. There were nights when the wind was so cold...

5. Just like the glory days.

6. She's made a huge mistake.

7. Just in case she's hungry.

8. Let's go to the mall.

9. Don't be a suppressive person.

10. Someday we'll find the connection.

11. Forever young.

12. Keep it real.

13. In Donald's dreams.

14. She's a total Regina.

15. In a parallel universe.

16. On point AF.

'The Watcher' has returned to terrify this family with more threatening letters.

Back in 2015, people everywhere were on the edge of their seats reading the nail-biting story of The Watcher, an anonymous letter-writing ghoul who was terrorizing the owners of a beautiful home in Westfield, New Jersey.

It's pre-war and stalker-adjacent.

Only days after moving into the six-bedroom, $1.3 million house in 2014, the family started receiving the letters, which included extremely ominous quotes like these:

"[The house] has been the subject of my family for decades. I have be [sic] put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming. My grandfather watched in the 1920s and my father watched it in the 1960s. It is now my time."

"Do you need to fill the house with the young blood I requested? Have you found all the secrets it holds. Will the young bloods play in the basement. Who has the bedrooms facing the street? I will know as soon as you move in."

“Have they found what is in the walls yet? In time they will."

"I am pleased to know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me."

Needless to say, the family soon moved out, putting the house up for rent. They even sued the previous owners (who were frequently mentioned by name in the letters) for not warning them they would be watched by The Watcher. Meanwhile, police were totally unable to identify any suspects in the case. Whoever this Watcher is, he knows how to watch his back.

Years went by, and the letters gradually slowed down. The homeowners were eventually able to find tenants who were cool with living in a horror movie, and while the lawsuit with the previous owners is still tied up in the courts (after a countersuit was filed), this situation more or less went quiet. But you know that couldn't last. For now, The Watcher… has returned!

According to court documents filed by the family and obtained by ABC News, The Watcher sent them another letter in late February—more than two and a half years since his last, and less than three weeks after the tenants had moved in. Although the documents don't quote the specific contents of this letter, they allege that it is "more derogatory and sinister," and contains "specific threats."

A possible motive for The Watcher's return is the family's plan to bulldoze this beautiful, doomed house and subdivide the property, building two smaller homes in its place. Perhaps their thinking, and The Watcher's fear, is that two houses will be too much for him to watch. Regardless, his newest letter makes specific mention of this plan, and warns the family not to go through with it.

They should probably take his word for it.

But for once, the town of Westfield and The Watcher are in agreement. Last year, the town denied a permit application to demolish the house after neighbors banded together to protest. So it looks like the stalemate between The Watched and The Watched will continue. And what of the house's current tenants? They told a local paper that the letters are "not their issue."

So at least in one way, the owners of this house are lucky. They found the most laid-back tenants in the world. Seriously—I flip out at my landlord every time I see a spider, and these people are willing to shrug off a Watcher.

John Stamos records hilarious video to help fan propose to his girlfriend.

When someone decides to ask their significant other to marry them, there's a lot of pressure to make it a creative proposal. That's why this guy decided to enlist a little help - from John Stamos.

Doug Cox explained to John Stamos in an email that 34% of the space on his DVR is taken up by old Full House episodes his girlfriend Katrina has saved because she loves the actor so much.

In a video posted to Facebook, Stamos reads from the email Cox sent him. You can see Katrina's reaction to the video as she's reading it.

"You see, John, my girlfriend has a John Stamos problem," Stamos reads from the email Cox wrote him. "Therefore, I have a John Stamos problem."

Cox went on to explain that he was planning to propose to his girlfriend. "'I have a problem,'" Stamos continues reading. "'My girlfriend, Katrina, is the most amazing human being I've ever met. She's kind, she's genuine, she can win over a room in seconds. I want to marry this woman but there's a brick wall in the way, a six-foot-tall Greek god with better hair than me, and John, I have fantastic hair.'"

After apologizing for taking up space on the DVR, John Stamos gets down to business.

"You're asking me to help you ask your beautiful girlfriend Katrina to get married," Stamos tells Cox. "Katrina, I would say yes to this."

So does Katrina say yes? Check out the full video below.

So... this happened... (thank you JohnStamos) #TheJohnStamosProblem

The funniest tweets about Devin Nunes' horrifying high school haircut.

Trump's House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has been accused of colluding with Donald Trump and the White House to help cover up information about Russia's interference in the election (in short, political treason). But if true, this would not be the worst thing he's done. Because someone found Nunes' high school yearbook photo, and his haircut in 1991 was a crime against humanity.

The photo surfaced in an LA Times profile of Devin Nunes, and is being gleefully passed around Twitter. I'd say "there are no words" to describe it. But Twitter has the words.

As someone who once got a real live mulletby accident (I was 20 and lived in Montreal where people can pull off mullets because they're French, but not me), I just want to say: this guy deserves all of the ridicule. Never change, Twitter.

Anonymous Muslim teen's powerful note about the London terror attack goes viral.

In the wake of the deadly terrorist attack at in London on March 22nd, a powerful anonymous letter from a teen girl is making the rounds on Reddit. The letter was posted by user crlxzzz, who says he found the note rolled up on a bus. On the front it read: "Dear Stranger, please read my letter. From, a Muslim."

The letter was found two weeks after the deadly terrorist attack by a British Islam-convert, and in it, the anonymous teen describes what it's like to be a hijab-wearing Muslim in the days following the attack.

She describes leaving her house the day after the "horrible, horrible" attack, and feeling that people would "expect answers" from her. In class, she felt "all eyes on me" and recalls: "I felt flushed and not suddenly - almost guilty? What do I have to be guilty for?"

Then one of her classmates even asked her where she was the night before. "I laughed it off because I knew she was joking and that's what humans do when they don't know what to say," she writes.

She describes her fear for her own safety in the wake of the attack. "Every Saturday I pass through Westminster and I had to think twice about it this time," she writes. "I was scared that maybe I would be assaulted because of the many labels that come with wearing a hijab... "

She then says she wants to become a lawyer one day, and fears for her own future. "Sometimes I wonder if that will happen and if I will be able to get a job 10 years down the line," she writes. "I hope I can. It's scary being a muslim as these horrible acts of terror are happening and I hope that I can still live here 50 years down the line and that my future children will get so see the beauty of London and the amazing who live here."

Her letter is resonating with people across the globe, and too many can relate:

You can read the letter in full here:

Dear London

I am a Londoner aged 14 years old I also happen to be a black muslim. After the tragedies at the Westminster attack I came to the decision that I wanted to do something. A horrible, horrible thing happened right in the heart of London a place I love so very much. After hearing of the attack I was very agitated and scared for the people of London and the victims. The next day I woke up early and I was watching the news it dawned on me that I would go into school and people would expect answers. As I walked out the door at 8:15 as I usually do and as I saw the familiar faces of my everyday endeavors I wondered what they were thinking I tried my best and walked on smiling, hoping for smile back. Some were returned and some weren't. I went into form and as we spoke about the current affairs I felt all eyes on me. I felt flushed and not suddenly - almost guilty? What do I have to be guilty for? I couldn't determine if I was being paranoid or eyes were darting to the corner of the room to where I was sitting. I walked into my first lesson and a girl had asked me where I was the night before, I laughed it off because I knew she was joking and that's what humans do when they don't know what to say. You don't have to do or say anything to your muslim classmate or colleague. We may be muslim but we don't want to hurt you. We aren't terrorists. Every Saturday I pass through Westminster and I had to think twice about it this time. I was scared that maybe I would be assaulted because of the many labels that come with wearing a hijab...

I tend to digress a lot when I am writing so I will skip to the point. I am a hard worker there's nothing more that I want than to finish my education and become a lawyer but London is my home and I want that to happen here. Sometimes I wonder if that will happen and if I will be able to get a job 10 years down the line. I hope I can. It's scary being a muslim as these horrible acts of terror are happening and I hope that I can still live here 50 years down the line and that my future children will get so see the beauty of London and the amazing who live here. What I feel is too much for me to express on paper and I hope I have communicated my message well to whoever is reading this. My last hope like the hopes of many others is peace. Thank you for reading this. I have spent time writing this letter and you may decide to scrunch it up, keep it or leave it behind for the next person to read. All I ask is someone learns something from this letter even if all they learn is that I have terrible handwriting.

Whoever this teenager is, she is definitely going to make an amazing lawyer one day. And we need her more than ever.

Shaquille O’Neal and Jimmy Fallon had a weirdly sexual lip sync battle.

Shaquille O'Neal and Jimmy Fallon competed in an epic lip sync battle on The Tonight Show on Monday, and things got pretty weird.

Everything started off normal enough, with Fallon doing his best rendition of House of Pain's "Jump Around" followed up by Shaq lip syncing to Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative." But a mid-song surprise appearance by a celebrity definitely upped the ante on the competition.

Yep, Jimmy Fallon. You may have all the energy of a toddler hyped up on Pixie Stix, but Shaq has Pitbull. Your move.

Damn, Shaq makes Pitbull look like a chihuahua when he stands next to him.

Not to be outdone by the double dose of star power, Fallon threw on a costume and sang a duet all by himself. Impressive!

Finally, the two decided to call truce on this insane lip sync battle by singing an unprecedented duet together, which quickly got oddly sexual and pretty damn weird...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Get a room.

Guy orders a tank top online and goes viral for his response to what he got instead.

Online shopping can be a real gamble. Sometimes the item you order looks nothing like it does on the model in the picture. Other times the item you order is replaced altogether by a silver tank dress. Which is what happened to a man named Jeremy Russel Priola, who posted a picture of himself in his new purchase on Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

His caption reads, "I got this tank top on Amazon and they sent me a dress. On the plus side it does make my ass look great."

He's right, the dress does make his ass look great. There's always a silver (dress) lining. And at least people on Facebook thought it was as funny as he did—his post has been shared almost 43,000 times so far.

If you're one of the millions of people losing sleep over the most-watched trailer of all time, here's your anecdote. This version of Stephen King's 'It,' a movie about a terrifying creature that often takes the form of a clown, takes the edge off a little bit, because "It" has been replaced by the Cat in the Hat.

Specifically, the Mike Meyers Cat in the Hat—one of the goofiest looking and sounding things in the history of human imagination.

Hey, check out these throw pillows that were shared on Reddit. Notice anything weird about 'em?

See it yet?

At first glance, you may seem some pretty blue flowers! At second glance, you might see something a little more...penis-y. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at for a while before you actually see what is going on.

It's like the masculine version of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting. Dicks everywhere!

According to the original poster of the picture, their mother purchased the NSFW decor without realizing that the pattern is actually extremely phallic. It's a pretty understandable mistake too, seeing that half of Reddit also didn't notice the plethora of penises at first.

Good news is that if you love the print and dream of being wrapped up in some penis flowers, you can buy a blanket using the fabric here, you weirdo.


Ivanka Trump's new neighbor casually sips wine while watching protesters, becomes instant icon.

Last Saturday night in Washington, D.C., the ultimate activist/dance party group WERK for Peace marched to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's house to protest the administration's dangerous rejection of climate science. That is, despite Ivanka claiming to be enlightened on matters of the deteriorating planet.

While the block party was lit and featured joyful dancers in gay pride gear, the true star of the show wasn't a dancer, but a spectator.

Ivanka Trump's neighbor grabbed her fur coat and her wine to enjoy the show.

The neighbor was identified by the Daily Mailas Dianne Bruce, who quickly became an icon of #TheResistance.

Zooming in:

Bruce looked like a certain queen from the Seven Kingdoms.

It's a perfect ensemble.

The fur coat.

The bling.

The wine.

This picture is perfect for everyone missing Big Little Lies, but it's better because it's real. (Side bar: Ivanka is totally an evil Renata who thinks she's a Madeleine.)

Cheers, Ms. Bruce. See you at the next protest party.

Beauty blogger gets refreshingly honest when complimented on her ‘natural’ beauty.

We know what we see on the internet isn't always as authentic as it looks, but rarely do people willingly point out what about themselves isn't real. That's why beauty blogger Gina Shkeda's response to an envious fan was so surprising—it was just so honest.

Gina Shkeda posted an Instagram of herself looking typically gorgeous, with her skin almost glowing. The beauty blogger manages to look very "woke up like this," without any super obvious makeup to enhance those gorgeous features.

Lashed out and Cabo baecay (LOL f me I really need to quit that term) ready ☀️🍊🍹

A post shared by Gina (@ginashkeda) on

On Twitter, one of her fans wrote, "If I could wake up as beautiful as @GinaShkeda, I'd be the happiest girl alive #naturalbeauty."

What Shkeda wrote back is so surprising, yet so completely wonderful. She laid it all out, and made no bones about the fact that her "natural" beauty isn't necessarily quite as natural as many people probably assume.

Gina Shkeda replied to the fan's tweet, writing "Girl I have micro bladed brows, lash extensions in and lip injections - I don't even look like this. You're flawless."

What an open, kind, and empowering message! Not only does she point out what her face is currently sporting that it was not born with, she adds in a bit about her fan being "flawless," because no one needs to make themselves look a certain way to be truly beautiful. Also, beauty is not always synonymous with happiness, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

Ivanka Trump tweeted about #EqualPayDay and everyone pointed out why that's insane.

To celebrate Equal Pay Day, Ivanka Trump tweeted a link to an article about the wage gap on Tuesday morning, telling her followers, "We must close the gender pay gap!" It's a lovely sentiment, but somewhat strange considering that her father, President Donald Trump, has a pretty spotty record with women. Just one week earlier, he signed an executive order revoking President Obama's 2014 Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order, which protected the workplace rights of women and minorities, including equal pay.

The replies to her tweet were dominated by her father's supporters mansplaining to her that the wage gap is a myth. But there were also plenty of angry liberals who were very eager to point out her hypocrisy.

Will these messages get through to Ivanka? Probably not. Unlike her father, I doubt she checks her replies.

Usually the people who join Late Late Show hostJames Corden for Carpool Karaoke are famous singers, but on Monday night's episode, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors decided to try his hand at it.

After a long day of "life coaching" (aka James Corden taking Stephen Curry mini-golfing for some reason), Curry joined Corden for some good old fashioned Carpool Karaoke. And because Curry is a dad who has young kids, he was only really prepared to sing the music he's typically listening to in the car: songs from Disney princess movies.

Yes, that's right, folks. NBA superstar Stephen Curry knows every single word to both "How Far I'll Go" from Moana and "Love Is An Open Door" from Frozen. Watching him sing them with Corden will make your day.

The Disney karaoke goodness starts at around 5:44 in the video.

This just goes to show: There is no one left on Earth who doesn't know all the lyrics to the songs from Frozen.
