People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' interviewed and revealed on 'Kimmel,' is indeed sexy and alive.

With his voice disguised and hidden behind a magazine, the studio audience at Jimmy Kimmel Live! got to play 21 Questions with People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. While the excerpt image below from Kimmel's YouTube page contains a bit of a massive spoiler, see if you would be able to guess the Sexiest Man Alive based on the Yes or No questions (and fact that it's not Nick Carter).

Focus all your Christmas-related rage on this twerking stuffed penguin.

As the holidays approach, you may begin experiencing high levels of anger and anxiety. You may find yourself lashing out at strangers on the internet, casual acquaintances, or even loved ones over seemingly minor incidents. Are you mad about the color of some coffee cups? Good, good. How do you feel about Christmas music being played before Thanksgiving? Yes, that's right. What about the insane crowds on Black Friday? Alright great, now take all of that rage and frustration you feel and focus it on this nightmare... a twerking stuffed penguin.

If there was a war on Christmas, this lil penguin would be Mussolini. He does say "Christmas is my favorite time of year," but did you notice that light blue sweater? Not very festive. Also, isn't twerking over? He might as well be doing The Ice Bucket Challenge. At least the ice would make sense since he's a dang penguin.

Penguins don't have luscious rumps, it's just unnatural! 

Kids love this thing. I know one kid who wouldn't, BABY JESUS!

https://www.instagram.com/p/9Txmd3yBRL/?tagged=twerkingpenguin

Your Dad would take one look at this thing and say, "Back in my day, we had an asexual fish, singing real hit songs, not this garbage!"

Now go buy yourself a Twerking Penguin and punch it till the feelings go away.

French cops post moving memorial for police dog killed in this morning's anti-terror raid.

French police forces conducted a raid at an apartment complex in the northern Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis on Wednesday, November 19th. They were searching for Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged architect of the Paris terrorist attacks. At the complex, a woman detonated a suicide vest of explosives. Five officers suffered minor injuries, and a police dog was killed. 

Writing on Twitter, the police forces announced, "Diesel, a 7-year-old #RAID dog was killed by terrorists in the current operation." "RAID" stands for "Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuasion," which translates to "Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence." 

https://twitter.com/PNationale/status/666915776167677952

They posted a beautiful photo of Diesel with her squad, writing, "Assault and explosives search dogs: indispensable in the missions of the operators of #RAID."

Remember politician Anthony Weiner? He tweeted a self-aware joke that's actually funny.

Everyone does weird sex stuff. Not everyone is a famous politician who famously does weird sex stuff while famously accidentally sharing it with the entire world via Twitter while also having a name that famously means "penis." That pretty much only describes disgraced former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, who stepped down from his position in Congress in 2011 after sending out a sexually explicit tweet by accident. It's easy to do. Be careful out there on the Internet, people.

How does he live with the public shame? Having a sense of humor about it, apparently! Yesterday, he retweeted comedian Seth Rogen, who had fallen into a similar trap:

https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/666663818882359296

Weiner responded perfectly:

https://twitter.com/anthonyweiner/status/666671115440361472

Seth Rogen wasn't tweeting dick pics, though.

A creep sent Debra Messing an unsolicited nude photo, so she tweeted it to her 257,000 followers. For justice.

If you somehow have the audacity to send an unsoliciteddick pic to Debra Messing, prepare to be shamed. Some dude, who presumably loved Will & Grace so much he wanted to harass its star, sent the photo to Messing in a DM. She announced on Twitter, "Someone sent me a DM of his very VERY large penis.... That's all."

https://twitter.com/DebraMessing/status/666429451144716288

Then later, she tweeted a pixelated version of the photo and wrote, "RESPECT WOMEN. RESPECT YOURSELVES." Superimposed over the image, it says "Sending pix like this Is NEVER OK."

https://twitter.com/DebraMessing/status/666739857625059329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

However, Messing didn't pixelate the sender's profile photo or gross choice of emojis.

Debra Messing is basically the modern day, dick pic-oriented Robin Hood society has been waiting for.

A drunk driver wrote the cops a letter to say thanks for arresting him.

0

A man wrote a letter to the police department in Tyrone, Georgia, thanking them for his drunk driving arrest a few months ago. According to the police report from his arrest, the man was driving in a right turn lane, and instead of making the turn he ran his car off the road. Sgt. Jacob Collins arrested him for DUI. On Monday, Tyrone Police Chief Brandon Perkins received a letter from the man thanking Sgt. Collins for his arrest.

Relatively speaking, this is one of the smartest things a drunk driver has done. Obviously they often have extremely impaired judgment, like when they live-stream their drunk driving or get arrested for DUI even though they're the president of a Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter.

Here's the letter:

I write to express my thanks and gratitude to Officer Jacob Collins.

Officer Collins pulled me over on Highway 74 during the morning of July 31, 2015.  I was severely intoxicated.  He saved my life and the lives of others, and I truly appreciate his actions and his efforts.  I must emphasize that he was very polite and professional and did not provoke with intimidation.  He treated me fairly, and I never felt ridiculed or threatened.

I have nothing to gain from contacting you.  I have already been to court and received my punishments.  I contact you because the media and public opinion are saturated with images of officers using excessive force.  Officers are constantly on the defensive.  The public does not want to acknowledge proper procedures; the public merely wants to see an officer make a mistake to keep the argument and the social media images flowing.  You all need to know that what you do every day matters, and we appreciate it.

I do not like being on probation, and I do not enjoy paying a series of fines, fees and insurance hikes; however I am grateful to be alive.  I thank Officer Collins and your entire department.

The chief posted the letter to Facebook in the spirit of continuing better relationships between the police and the public:

I got this letter in the mail today from a gentleman that Sgt. Collins arrested for DUI a few months ago. I believe it is a testament to the fact that the police-public relationship is not inherently adversarial - even when an arrest is involved.

-Chief

Despite the positive nature of his letter, the former drunk driver made sure to mention how much he hates probation and increased prices on his insurance. No word yet on whether he's written the insurance company thanking them for those hikes.   


10 years after he stopped living as a woman, this transgender man was shocked to discover he was pregnant.

Kayden Coleman is a transgender man who had been transitioning for over ten years when he discovered he was pregnant. For five of those years he'd been taking testosterone, so he thought pregnancy was impossible. One night Kayden was feeling some bloat and back pain, and joked with his partner Elijah that maybe he had a bun in the oven. They laughed and then like 20 seconds later were at the drug store getting a pregnancy test. Kayden later had it confirmed with a doctor—he was already 21 weeks along! 

https://instagram.com/p/omXCX6xOAe/?taken-by=theshadycolemans

How did this happen? Ordinarily, testosterone would prevent pregnancy, but in preparation for a double mastectomy, Kayden had to stop taking it for about 6 weeks. He didn't realize that would be enough time for the effects of the testosterone to wear off. But it was! Soon little Azaelia joined them:

https://instagram.com/p/orHbtwxODT/?taken-by=theshadycolemans

The two were obviously surprised and it put a big wrench in their life. They weren't sure how to explain a newborn without explaining that Kayden is transgender. Not everyone was accepting when they found out. Elijah told The Daily Mirror:

It was tough. Kayden had postnatal depression for about a year. I wasn’t around much and we don’t have family nearby, so it was really hard. People who say it’s a joy are either lying or they have a lot of help from family...It must have been difficult hearing that your son’s boyfriend was pregnant, I don’t deny that. But I felt like there were some unkind comments and I didn’t appreciate that.

https://instagram.com/p/wtmAD7xOEj/?taken-by=theshadycolemans

Azaelia is now 22 months, and they plan to explain how she came to be when she's around five. For now, she calls Kayden "daddy" and Elijah "poppy," and that's that. Even though it was hard, the couple is really grateful to have Azaelia in their lives and things have calmed down a lot. Kayden says:

She is an awesome kid. Very well-mannered. She’s very sensitive but also very much like both of us. Her favorite word is, ‘No!’ I don’t feel like we should have been parents all along but I feel like we are great parents now.

These lazy circus cats on 'The Late Show’ were a hilarious failure until Colbert saved the day.

0
0

Stephen Colbert welcomed the Acro-Cats to The Late Show, a cat circus that has lots of equipment and cats but very few cats using the equipment for tricks. It's a noble effort, but no one was surprised that a bunch of so-called specially trained cats didn't perform because they didn't feel like it. That's classic cat!

Generally, cats call the shots and tell humans when they want attention. Or they accidentally do tricks because they curiously crawled into a tight space. The appearance of the Acro-Cats on the show was booked prior to the attacks in Paris that have dominated the news. Colbert acknowledged that it might seem odd given the events of the past week:

Is tonight an appropriate night for Acro-Cats? Is there ever an appropriate time? No, there is not! So absolutely, let’s have them on. Because, you know what I don’t think ISIS would like? Acro-Cats. They’re cute and silly – two things ISIS hates. The only thing they have in common with ISIS is that they’re a bunch of pu##ies.

Behold: cats not wanting to perform despite the promise of treats: 

It was very nice of Colbert to hop in and do a few cat tricks when the actual cats weren't having it. All those years of improv training and performing at The Second City finally paid off.

Ridiculously lovable actor couple Chris Pratt and Anna Faris sing to their son for #WorldPrematurityDay.

0
0

Yesterday was World Prematurity Day, and Chris Pratt is cutely raising awareness about premature births in a highly adorable way. He shared a video of his 3-year-old son, Jack, who was born nine weeks prematurely and had to stay in the hospital for a month. In the vid, Jack is wearing a bucket on his head, donning amazing baby glasses, and working on a crayon masterpiece. Meanwhile, Pratt and (presumably) wife Anna Faris are singing, "Ding dong, the witch is dead." Babies. Art. Musical theater. Star power. Buckets. Basically, this video has something for everyone and should appeal to all demographics.

https://www.instagram.com/p/-NIuFFDHPB/

Pratt wrote in the caption, "Today is World Prematurity Day. Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children under 5 worldwide. About 15 million babies are born too soon every year. Nearly 1 million of these babies die within the first month of life. Support #WorldPrematurityDay and join the millions of volunteers who support #MarchofDimes." Seriously, do it. For the toddler wearing the bucket hat.

College basketball players stopped a game to honor their teammate who died of cancer.

These college basketball players put a game on pause to pay tribute to one of their team members who was recently taken by cancer. Lauren Hill was a 19-year-old freshman who played forward on the Mount St. Joseph College's women's basketball team. When she was a senior in high school, she was diagnosed with a "rare, inoperable form of pediatric brain cancer." At a game on Saturday, her teammates stopped a play and placed the ball on the floor, on the same spot where Lauren scored her first college basket. Members of both teams then formed a circle, raised up their hands, and made an L-sign with them.

https://twitter.com/AthleteSwag/status/665651042118467584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

On top of achieving her goal of playing college basketball, Lauren also became somewhat of a national sports icon in her last years. Her college famously rescheduled the first game of the season two weeks earlier so she could play, because doctors feared she might be dead before the season began. The game garnered so much public interest that it was moved from a 2,000-seat stadium to a 10,000-seat stadium. Lauren also helped raise over $1 million for pediatric cancer treatment through a telethon. In addition to being honored by her teammates, she also appeared on a Wheaties box.

It's a fitting tribute for a very inspirational athlete.

What's up with people from before 1950 and their weird, stupid voices? This is what's up.

0
0

Think of the world between, say, 1890 and 1950, and there's a good chance you'll picture one in black and white where people all talk using the Transatlantic Accent: a particular, high-pitched way of talking that made everyone sound like a gangster who spent a few years in a London boarding school. It wasn't really like that everywhere (in fact, there were many more regional accents than there are today), but it seems that way due to class and technology. How Stuff Works explains why the past sounds the silly way it does. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpv_IkO_ZBU

To review, as the name implies, the "Transatlantic Accent" was taught in America as the "proper" way to speak if you were (or wanted to sound) well-educated, and was similar in some ways to upper-class British accents. Also, early audio equipment couldn't pick up lower tones, so gruffer accents didn't record well (and high pitches travel better in large rooms, making it the perfect voice for vaudeville as well). The result is the "newsreel" voice we all know and love, weirdly high pitched and upbeat, popping along at a well-enunciated clip to make even "The March! Of War!" sound exciting.

Twitter sensation Zola talks to 'Rolling Stone,' ties up all the loose ends about #TheStory.

0
0

It's been a few weeks since The Zola Story lit Twitter ablaze with its incredibly written, mostly true tale of a Hooters waitress's wild weekend in Florida. Reporters have investigated The Story, and found that it was mostly true, except for a few key details on Jessica and Jerrett's relationship, and the nature of Z's arrest. Rolling Stonecombined the best of Zola's epic storytelling and actual reportage in this new, super-long profile. It adds more depth and elaborates on some of the subtleties that couldn't be expressed in 140 character chunks, even if there were 185 tweets' worth.

Here are the greatest revelations from Rolling Stone's examination of #TheStory.

https://www.instagram.com/p/-MjR29xXJP/?taken-by=zolarmoon

1. Jessica had a tragic childhood.

Jessica had been "born to a 15-year-old mother, raised in a troubled home, surrounded by drugs and alcohol." She adds, "I was bouncing from abusive relationship to abusive relationship."


2. Z's real name is Rudy.

Rudy is Jessica and Jarrett's roommate, whose fiancée was living and working in Tampa. He is also the best friend of her booking agent.


3. Rudy's pimping was really shady.

"He goes to parties and finds the dumbest drunk girl," Jessica says. "A week later, they would be on Backpage."


4. Rudy threatened Jarrett, and Jarrett threatened suicide.

According to Rolling Stone:

By the time Jarrett got back to the motel room, Jessica was on the bed, crying, and Zola was sitting in the corner. The door slammed behind him. "Give me your phone!" Rudy shouted, quickly deleting the Facebook post. "I ought to whoop your ass and kill you right now, motherfucker!"

"Do it!" Jarrett replied. "I don't care. I have nothing to live for. The girl I love's a whore!"

According to Zola, that seemed to give Rudy a better idea. "I should fuck her right here, just show you who she really belongs to," he said, then seemed to reconsider it. "You know what? I'm going to kill your manhood. You're going to watch your girl go on all these calls. You're going to take her."


5. Zola stayed in Florida because she feared for Jessica.

Despite the insanity, Zola was still afraid to leave. "I don't want it looking like, 'You left her, you didn't call the police, you went back home, now this girl ended up dead,'" she says. "That's why I stayed. Just so that if anything went bad for her, she has somebody."


6. Zola, Jarrett and Jessica have different accounts on how the night unfolded after Jarrett's jump.

Jessica says only Zola took outcalls that night. Jarrett says both women went together on at least one trick, but quickly left when the johns didn't have the money. Zola says the only thing she did that night, while Jessica visited multiple johns, was try to talk Jarrett out of his relationship with her. "You're trying to be Captain Save-a-ho," she told him as they waited in the car, "when she clearly doesn't want saving."


7. Jarrett negates a lot of #TheStory:

According to him, there was no confrontation between Rudy and the pimp. He also denies Zola went with them on the outcall at all, saying it was he and Rudy alone who drove Jessica to that hotel. When they went to pick her up, Jarrett says, Jessica was already in the lobby. The pimp never offered Rudy $20,000 for Jessica, he says, and she hadn't been beaten. The only thing Rudy did in retaliation, according to Jarrett, was tell the hotel clerk to call the police because a man had tried to snatch his girlfriend. (Jessica's story closely mirrors Jarrett's, except, she says, it was Zola, not her, who was in the room with the other pimp that night).

8. Jessica apologized to Zola.

"I hope you don't feel like I set you up," Jessica told Zola before she got on the plane, "I hope we can be friends." Zola responded, "I will never see you again."


9. Jessica and Rudy trapped two girls into trapping in Reno.

A few days after the events of #TheStory unfolded, Jessica and Rudy put more unsuspecting people in compromising positions. Breeona Pellow and Jessica Forgie, two women who had met Jessica in Michigan, were on vacation in California when their car broke down just outside of Reno. They posted on Facebook that they needed help, and Jessica got her agent to send them a car as she and Rudy flew from Florida to Reno.


10. Rudy made the other women "f*ck their way home."

At the Peppermill [Resort in Reno], Forgie says when she pleaded with Rudy to let her go home, he said, "Oh, you think you can go home for free? I have an idea. You can fuck your way home." Forgie thought he meant that she'd have to turn tricks, but realized he was talking about having sex with him. "That's when he assaulted me," she claims.


11. Rudy was arrested in Reno.

Forgie reported her rape and went to the hospital, and cops arrested Rudy at the resort. Apparently, Jessica turned to her and said, "Don't say anything."


12. He is currently in jail.

Akporode "Rudy" Uwedjojevwe wears a brown t-shirt in his mugshot, and the tired gaze of a man at the end of his run. The 35-year-old, who is being held in a Nevada jail, has been charged with sexual assault, sex trafficking, battery, attempted pandering and felony counts stemming from a fight in jail. His trial is slated for January 19. Pellow and Forgie say they plan to testify against him. He could face life in prison. Though the accounts vary, everyone agrees that the man who manipulated them is rightfully behind bars. "It's a real thing, and it happens all the time," says Forgie, who has since struggled with depression to the point of threatening suicide. "People need to understand that." (Rudy didn't return requests to be interviewed for this story.)


13. The article explains how Rudy's methods constitute a "textbook example of how women get swept in sex work."

Bradley Myles, CEO of the Polaris Project, a non-profit that fights human trafficking, calls Rudy's enterprise a textbook example of how women get swept up in sex work. "We're still not where we need to be yet as a country in terms of understanding how real sex trafficking is in our daily midst," he says. Polaris receives an average of 100 calls a day to its helpline (888-373-7888) and text service, BeFree. "They were designed to help girls exactly like the ones in this case," Myles says.


14. Zola hasn't spoken to Jessica since Florida, and has some ideas for her future.

Zola is launching a brand of "Hoeism" t-shirts, and staying active on social media. She still aspires to be a singer, but also feels encouraged to pursue writing. "And a reality show would be kind of cool," she told the magazine, "I think I'm funny and entertaining."

Kid confesses his dreams to Humans of New York, gets response from NASA.

0

A plucky youngster was out walking the streets of New York with his father when he came across Brandon Stanton, the photojournalist behind the ultra-popular blog Humans of New York. Stanton, who has become extremely popular for his slice-of-life profiles of people he meets on the street, took a picture of the boy and asked him about his life goals. The reply was so cute, you'll plotz.

https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork/photos/a.102107073196735.4429.102099916530784/1128767300530702/

My dad goes all over the world and learns about the news. One time he met a king. I want to be a reporter too. If I was a reporter right now, I’d probably write a story about if NASA was going to launch a new rocket into space. I’d start by going to the Director of NASA. Then I’d ask him about his rockets. And if any of them were going to space.

Of course, a gem like that is more than enough to go viral on a Humans of New York Facebook post. And go viral it did—so much so that NASA's publicity-starved PR team got wind of it. The agency, which has become very social media-savvy in the last few years as its funding has dwindled, was quick to reply to the boy's questions.

We *are* going to launch a new rocket into space! We're developing NASA's Space Launch System to be the world's most powerful rocket and launch NASA's Orion Spacecraft into deep space, first to lunar orbits then eventually farther on the journey to Mars.

NASA's response is brilliant for two reasons: for one, it means that the kid's dream has already come true, and he's basically a journalist interviewing NASA already. Two, it educates the public on what the agency is up to, using a platform that people actually care about: Facebook.

But NASA isn't the first public figure or organization to comment on HONY for free publicity. In the past, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have both been active in the comments section. It really works, too– NASA's comment on the post already has more than 87,000 likes, and the original post has more than 316,000, along with nearly 6,000 shares.

Kudos to NASA for making a kid's day, and kudos to that kid for being a journalism prodigy and giving NASA its best publicity in months! This is the most heartwarming kind of synergy.
