The 15 best celebrity throwback photos of 2015. Now with more 1980s!

0

Celebrities make throwback photos fun for the masses. Their retro pics give everyone a chance to see what the famous and powerful looked like before they were caked in makeup and could afford the best personal trainers. And sometimes they're just plain funny or cute.

1. Amy Schumer in the 80s before she was a trainwreck.

https://twitter.com/amyschumer/status/639424010909020160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Subtly referencing a Whitney Houston song, wearing a dress that is by no means subtle and is pure 80s.

2. Taylor Swift as one of the Teletubbies for Halloween.

https://www.instagram.com/p/9ZcLC8jvI8/

She claims she went as the yellow one (Laa Laa) and that her classmates thought she was an alien. The black and white filter does make this picture seem like a conspiracy photo for an alien cover-up.

3. Jerry Seinfeld's first passport at sweet 16.

https://www.instagram.com/p/1itM9jgubn/

What's the deal with passport photos?

4. Kim Kardashian before the contouring makeup.

https://www.instagram.com/p/9HgR2fxjHl/

Posted by none other than Caitlyn Jenner! Her lips and eyes actually show more motion in this still picture than they currently do in real life.

5. Hugh Jackman was always ripped and handsome.

https://www.instagram.com/p/620dKmihKn/

Is he a vampire? Jackman appears not to have aged and possesses eternal strength. Maybe he really is like that immortal character with claws: Freddie Krueger.

6. Gisele's first runway show as a model.

https://www.instagram.com/p/1f6eRuntIz/

Long before she blamed Patriots receivers for her husband Tom Brady's performance, Gisele began professionally modeling at age 14.

7. Michelle Obama wishing a happy Father's Day to POTUS.

https://www.instagram.com/p/4MaHJ-vZEr/

What a long, long way they've all come. Being the leader of the free world for eight years will add some gray to your hair.

8. Paris Hilton, her family, and Michael Jackson for some reason.

https://www.instagram.com/p/5xUJiUKgC_/

Wow. Only Nicky has the appropriate look on her face for how weird this is. Or maybe Jackson's chimp, Bubbles, is making threatening gestures towards her off-camera.

9. Jeremy Renner in a tux with a f**king mullet!

https://twitter.com/Renner4Real/status/586078999497023489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Throwback prom pictures are perhaps the best and most embarrassing. 80s all the way.

10. Adele's very first throwback photo.

https://www.instagram.com/p/9bAIrNAfO5/

Hello from the other side of life!

11. Mario Lopez posting the Saved By The Bell throwback from The Tonight Show.

https://www.instagram.com/p/yulSEPyMFA/

Bayside High looks as strong as ever alongside Jimmy Fallon. Notably absent is Screech, because he did jail time this year for stabbing someone in a bar.

12. Beyoncé with her little sis Solange.

https://www.instagram.com/p/4UUPJYvw97/

Before she was big enough to fiercely attack Jay Z in an elevator, she was just the kid sister.

13. Aziz Ansari as an intern on The Daily Show.

https://www.instagram.com/p/4AeWUbSRDa/

Quite impressive to return to a show as a guest when you were once the intern.

14. Mariah Carey keeping it fresh with Will Smith.

https://www.instagram.com/p/6XwqddLeJO/

1988! Before her debut album and before Smith broke into film, Scientology, and New Age children of his own.

15. Krysten Ritter

https://www.instagram.com/p/-zIsmaI3j_/?taken-by=therealkrystenritter

Ha! Ritter gives kids everywhere hope. Everyone can make it out of the awkward phase in junior high and go on to star in groundbreaking TV shows like Breaking Bad and Jessica Jones.


Miss Colombia responded to falsely being named Miss Universe, resists opportunity to fry Steve Harvey.

Miss Colombia has responded to that whole incident in which she was briefly named Miss Universe by accident when she was actually the first runner-up. By now you've probably watched host Steve Harvey's 100% fuck-up or decided that it's too stressful to watch at all. The video is here, if you're into seeing people's dreams be realized and then immediately crushed in a way that's worse than never achieving them at all.

Now Miss Colombia has shared a gracious Instagram post explaining her perspective. And she didn't even incorporate any Steve Harvey jokes, unlike the rest of the Internet.

Ariadna Gutiérrez posted a photo of herself from the pageant and wrote that Steve Harvey building her up and then taking everything away was her "destiny." She explained, "I was able to bring happiness to my country after becoming Miss Universe for only a couple of minutes... Today because of that COLOMBIA and the LATIN COMMUNITY are being talked about in every corner of the world." What a glass-half-full Instagram caption.

https://www.instagram.com/p/_nRgYZNvS7/

Gutiérrez is also getting a lot more attention than most Miss Universe winners get during their whole reign. And probably Instagram followers.

This video of a puppy using his mom's ear as a blanket really sells itself, don't you think?

Hey, stop what you're doing for a moment and look at this newborn f*cking puppy using his mother's ear for a blanket. Look, it's December 23. You don't want to be at work. Do you have a marketing presentation? F*ck that marketing presentation. Watch this puppy pretend that his mother's ear is a blanket because he's a newborn puppy and maybe he doesn't even know that there are real blankets yet.

People are sharing the dorky kid beds they sleep in while they're home for Christmas.

For the past three years, London writer Rhodri Marsden has been curating pics of the adorably dopey childhood beds adults sleep in when they return home. There's nothing like the spirit of Christmas to make you feel like a kid again—and there's nothing like dopey cartoon duvets to show how far you've come since leaving the nest.

https://twitter.com/rhodri/status/283368886831828992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Marsden recounted the evolution of this new Christmas tradition to BuzzFeed:

I was just lying in this single bed with an unpleasant duvet in a rather austere room in my parents’ house and thought, "I bet I’m not the only one." So I took a picture and tweeted it. And then these pictures started coming back at me. For some reason they seem to collectively convey the spirit of Christmas without having any Christmassy stuff in them whatsoever. Just bad duvets, unpleasant curtains, and deflating airbeds.

https://twitter.com/rhodri/status/415627647998500864

More Brits have been getting in on the game, bravely revealing their embarrassing childhood obsessions, like this weird cartoon pig friend.

https://twitter.com/rhodri/status/283374962805440512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Don't forget Thomas the Tank Engine or Cabbage Patch Kids.

This guy has a Lady and the Tramp comforter, despite being a cat person.

And the kooky comforters keep coming:

An eternal dilemma: What's worse—having your childhood bedroom perfectly preserved so that you're sleeping in a time machine, or having to sleep in a makeshift bed?

The 13 best times people stole the spotlight from the bride in 2015.

0

A lot of little girls dream about their wedding day. The dress they're going to wear, the type of flowers they'll carry, maybe even the man that's inevitably going to disappoint them. One thing they forgot to count on was someone else stealing their spotlight and going viral without them. Here are the top people who made weddings all about them this year.

1. The boy who cried, "Poo."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZV3wYE8LOo

Sh*t got real at Hannah and Ben Lienert's wedding when their 3-year-old son stopped the ceremony because he"needed to poo." If the bride hadn't already been wishing she'd tied the knot prior to having kids, this incident probably severely reduced the chances that kid will have more siblings.

2. The dad who totally made the stepdad cry.

It wasn't even a fist fight.

Father of the bride Todd Bachman was walking his daughter down the aisle when he suddenly stopped and grabbed the hand of his daughter's stepfather to walk alongside him. The tear-filled moment was captured by the photographer, and the story went viral. No doubt the bride wondered why they picked her moment to finally get along, but happy for them nonetheless.

3. The groomsman who split his pants taking photos.

If he was going commando, this would be on a very different website.

Groomsman Lee Coleman was trying to be the most fun person at the wedding, and it's safe to say he nailed it. The photographer caught the exact moment his pants split, and the images went viral. Somewhere, surely, the bride and groom were looking for scissors to rip their own sh*t and get some freakin' attention for themselves. What a camera hog!

4. The President. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/8wC4e9J8zM/

Stephanie and Brian Tobe had their golf course wedding briefly postponed so Obama could play through, which he tried to make up for by coming by and posing for pics with the party. Um, stealing focus much? Sure, the bride and groom, however said they were actually thrilled for their unexpected wedding crasher. (Sure, sure.)

5. The flower girl who sucked face.

Save some for the honeymoon!

4-year-old flower girl Anderson totally upstaged the bride (who also happened to be her mom) at her wedding. When the photographer told the bride and groom to kiss, Anderson heard that as "flower girl and the ring bearer she's been crushing on" and totally went for it, hard. 

6. The maid of honor who passed out at just the right moment.​

Look at the floor, on the left, or you might miss the face-down scene stealer.

An Imgur user's sister passed out at "the exact moment the judge said, 'You may kiss the bride.'" Hmm, pretty convenient time to lose consciousness, don't you think?

7. The Rock.

You may now look upon The Rock, I mean kiss the bride.

The Rock, aka Dwayne the "The Rock" Johnson, surprise-married Nick Mundy and his fiancé, Dilara. Nick thought he was supposed to interview The Rock, only to show up at the location to find the interview was canceled. Psyche! Instead the muscular actor showed up to officiate his wedding! Congratulations, your wedding is all about The Rock now. (As it should be.)

8. A random Instagram celebrity who suddenly appeared.

https://www.instagram.com/p/wneHg-gS2v/

Celebrities have a way of upstaging brides, no matter how loosely you define "celebrity." This bride named Shannon got overshadowed by an Instagram celebrity. Ouch. Much to the couple's surprise, the best man hired dq4equis, aka Superman Drawls, to skate down the aisle and deliver the rings mid-ceremony. Drawls is most famous for bizarre photos and videos of himself wearing roller skates, a pair of Superman briefs, and an intimidating gaze. What's harder, getting overshadowed by a guy wearing Underoos, or explaining viral fame to Grandma?

9. A Freakin' Owl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2MDB-0k-Ps

Bilbo the owl took all the attention from the bride at this wedding when he flew down the aisle to deliver the couple their wedding bands. The groom prepared this trick as a surprise for the bride, who was probably all like, "Oh cool, there's a bird here now, and everyone is looking at it and not meeeee." Bilbo also wore white to the wedding. That's a real dick move, Bilbo.

10. The Sky

https://www.instagram.com/p/8HRYsho_8M/

No one is supposed to look more beautiful than the Bride on her wedding day, but mother nature DGAF. A random stranger, also known as photographer Sam Yeldham, was trying to take a time-lapse photo of a storm, when he noticed a couple standing on the pier. He snapped this photo and posted it on social media, where it was later discovered by the couple, and thousands of others.

11. The best man.

What about that lady in the white dress? Oh her?

Just hours before John Taylor walked down the aisle with his bride Lisa, the groom had a semi-nude photo shoot with his best friend and best man, Andy Pemberton.​ You know, how bros do. Somewhere, Lisa was screaming into a pillow about her future husband getting was naked with someone else on HER special day.

12. These nude bike riders.

Well at least now they'll be a little less surprised on their wedding night.

Blair Delson and Ross Cohen had their wedding photo-bombed by the Philly Naked Bike Ride. No matter how white your dress is, it's hard to get attention when you're surrounded by so much nudity.

13. The groom. (Who should really know better.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hUVUBWITcQ

In an effort to steal attention from his bride, this groom popped on sunglasses and broke out into a lip-sync mash-up during his wedding vows, mouthing words to songs by Whitney Houston, 'N Snyc and Ed Sheeran. Somehow, she resisted saying "I don't" after the brutal upstaging, but if they ever split up, she'll definitely have a killer medley ready for divorce court.

New Year's

Cold truth.

A taco place took footage of a burglary and turned it into a very convincing ad for their tacos.

Frijoles & Frescas, a Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas, knows what to do when life hands them lemons: squeeze them over some fresh tacos. And they also know what to do when life hands them a 3 a.m. burglary: turn the surveillance footage into a viral ad for those tacos.

This YouTube video accomplishes two things: it makes the crooks who broke into the restaurant look like a couple of comically bumbling dopes à la the Wet Bandits from Home Alone, and it makes Frijoles' tacos look irresistible. All in all, it's a masterful example of a viral ad. If this company is as good at making tacos as they are at using the Internet, this place must be great. And they should be, because making tacos isn't that hard.

Someone found a ripped-up Christmas card and reassembled it to read a poignant message.

0

Redditor burritobattlefield posted an image of a Christmas card they found on the train and reassembled. It's a very sad, touching message, especially all torn up as though the recipient couldn't bear to read it or, conversely, the sender never had the balls to put it in the mailbox. But the poignancy is somewhat undercut by it being posted by someone named "burrito battlefield."

Happy Christmas, ya drunk.

The card reads:

Bad things happen to good people sometimes, but how you react to these things is what defines you. You always have a choice, there are better things ahead for you but it's in your hands, it's your responsibility. Have a happy Christmas. Ps. Stop drinking, get help from someone.

There's a lot of speculation on the thread about the card, especially because it's not signed with a name. People are arguing back and forth about whether the person sending a message or receiving a message like that would be most likely to tear it up. A lot of people think it's fake. But the best breakdown of our imaginary protagonist's identity comes courtesy of Redditor HolycommentMattman (wow, these names):

Great psychological profile, Sherlock. With the collective mind of Reddit on the case, someone very special will be confronting their alcoholism by New Year's Eve at the latest.

Jimmy Fallon finally shared something besides a gross hand injury story: a cute photo of his babies.

Jimmy Fallon interrupted his relentless onslaught of horrifying hand injury content to offer up an adorable photo of his family starting a new holiday tradition. And after almost losing a finger and cutting his hand (among other injuries) this year, this dude could use some cheer.

Fallon posted a photo of himself, wife Nancy Juvonen, and their daughters—two-year-old Winnie and one-year-old Franny—sharing a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3 in New York City. He wrote in the caption, "Thank you to the nicest people at Serendipity 3!!! Starting a new family tradition. #FrozenHotChocolate."

These kids are pretty cute at sipping from straws. They'll probably be naturals at the Wheel of Impressions.

Did you see a bright light whizzing by over your house last night? It wasn't Santa.

A streak of bright light lit up the skies over Arizona, Nevada, and California Tuesday night. It turned out to be debris from a Russian space rocket re-entering the atmosphere, but some people with their phones at the ready didn't yet have that information as they watched the mysterious spectacle unfold.

U.S. Strategic Command spokeswoman Julie Ziegenhorn says the fireball was the result of an SL-4 rocket body booster from Russia that was launched Monday. Actually, if curious onlookers had been informed it was a Russian rocket with an official-sounding name, it probably would not have eased their nerves. In November, another strange fireball lighting up the skies over California was later attributed to the U.S. government testing nuclear-capable missiles. No big deal.

Twitter users near Las Vegas assumed it was a meteor or a close encounter with aliens. One person even caught the streak over the Vegas strip:

https://twitter.com/SkyBoy_Q/status/679484521587163136https://twitter.com/Trading2Wealth/status/679491328514785280https://twitter.com/KTLA/status/679550181751132160

It's suspicious that all these curiosities keep occurring in the western United States. Hopefully incidents with both American and Russian rockets are just a coincidence. At least that's what the government would like you to believe! Trust no one.

Somewhat Topical

A mom got a Christmas surprise from her son. A grandkid.

Eva Goeb of Franklin, IN wasn't expecting her son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. On Sunday, she was surprised to greet Donny and Miranda when they flew in from Hawaii, where they've both been stationed with the Air Force. The couple decided they were ready to start a family and heard about a baby that would soon be up for adoption through a friend. The adoption process started in October, but they managed to keep everything secret, even after the birth of little Melissa "Lily" Faith on December 8th. And man, it was worth the subterfuge, because Eva Goeb's reaction to meeting her granddaughter will actually make you excited about a stranger's kid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0s73Z71mKA

Miranda told WTHR:

We hid our secret for almost 10 days before we could fly home...We chose not to tell our families due to so many unknowns...We wanted to protect our hearts and theirs. We were taking a huge leap of faith. Once the baby Lily was officially placed with us, to become our daughter, we decided that it was not the type of news to be shared over the phone.

Neither of our families thought we were coming home for Christmas, let alone bringing a baby. They were shocked, enamored, in awe and in love simultaneously.

We are so blessed by Lily, her birth parents and our families. It will be quite the Christmas to remember!

Kinda makes the practical socks and underwear under the tree even more anti-climactic, but it's probably worth it.

Khloé Kardashian shared some NSFW naked pics to remind you of the true meaning of Christmas.

Khloé Kardashian joined her sisters in sharing pictures of her naked butt. It's almost Christmas, so you've probably been busy shopping, traveling, and decorating for the holiday. In the midst of all these preparations, it's easy to forget that a woman named Khloé Kardashian exists, and that she has a butt. The pics were posted on her app, but(t) a die-hard fan then uploaded them to Instagram. (Warning: NSFW, duh.)

This is the butt. There confusingly doesn't seem to be a hole from which the poop can come out.

https://www.instagram.com/p/_cbxWoSNek/

She also has boobs, and provided glimpses at the areola.

You can't help but marvel at how impeccably waxed she is, and how much that must have hurt.

The photographer, Mr. Mike Rosenthal, also provided some insights into the naked party on his Instagram:

Merry Khristmas from her butt to yours.

A substitute teacher tells her kids that Santa isn't real, and parents freak out.

0

A substitute teacher in Massachusetts told her elementary school students that Santa Claus wasn't real, making her a better teacher than the 99 percent of substitutes who are content to just put on a VHS copy of Voyage of the Mimi and play iPhone games for the entirety of class. Parents, however, weren't happy about this.

"My son said that she was really mean, and that he doesn't understand why she would say that, and that she's on the naughty list," one mother said to Boston's Fox 25. Counterpoint: there is no such thing as a naughty list.

The sub is no longer allowed to teach in the school—as you can imagine. The sub was provided to the school by a temping agency, which wouldn't comment on the status of this teacher's employment.

In the substitute teacher's defense, telling students that Santa Claus isn't real is at least telling them a scientific fact, unlike some of the things that are found in actual school textbooks.

Actor Tom Hardy responds in classy, annoyed letter to critic who called him an 'a**hole.'

0

About a week ago, critic Drew McWeeny of HitFix was scheduled to interview Tom Hardy at a press junket and got stood up. He proceeded to rip the actor apart on Twitter and signed off with a big FU, saying he didn't care about burning bridges. Well, you know what they say about burning bridges: you will eventually get publicly shamed for lighting the match. Tom Hardy responded in an open letter to McWeeny on his website, writing in the manly, rugged and passive-aggressive style he's known for, which is showcased so well in his upcoming film The Revenant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRfj1VCg16Y

In the letter, Hardy apologizes, but also makes sure everyone knows it's not his fault and that McWeeny has been groveling to him in private emails all week:

Dear Drew,

Thankyou for your email offering to retract your misdirected anger. I apologise for any part of you having to wait for an interview and then not get one. The truth is we (as I was paired for all interviews that day) were unaware that ANYBODY was waiting. Or even went without a TV interview. Someone somewhere must have thought putting it on me was a lot easier than losing their journalist relations for the ongoing junkets and multiple movies that are pending. I wish I would have napped to be honest.

One note to make is that per Fox, they said they “never actually told (you) that the interview was cancelled, simply that they were running behind schedule.” They also said that “Drew chose not to wait and left. Had he stayed, he would have gotten his interview as planned.”

Fuck.. Plot thickens … Who knows what to trust my friend, but I do know the cancellation was definitely not made by myself.
Resisting the urge to dare you to say what you “rant tweeted” so publicly, to my face next time we meet, which I doubt you have the balls to do; I want to apologise regardless on behalf of those that misled the both of us. That isn’t cool. At all. Neither were your tweets. But that’s by the by.

I appreciate your apology of sorts in your emails to and fro which I am happy to openly post. Also as I hope you understand now and which you’ve made very clear in our emails back and forth, your legitimate frustration lies with those who organised the junket; who fed you and I misinformation; not me.

Again apologies for the clusterfk. And it’s knock on effect to your personal life. I appreciate it is a busy time of year for you and your time shouldn’t have been wasted. I never had any intention of causing you any inconveniences at all.

Best regards and thanks for calling me an asshole a lot

Hillary Clinton says she's 'just like your abuela,' but the Internet just did not agree.

Hillary Clinton's campaign had a real trying-too-hard moment on Monday, when they created a list called "7 Ways Hillary Clinton Is Just Like Your Abuela" and Twitter decided that no, she is nothing like my abuela. (Abuela is Spanish for grandmother.) It timed to coincide with the announcement that Hillary Clinton was receiving the priceless political gift of Chelsea Clinton making her a grandmother for a second time, but it looks like this total bust of a listicle might knock her right back down. The former Secretary of State would have served her campaign better by eating a bunch of pizza and taking a hibernation-length nap rather than making this list.

People on Twitter called her out for the inaccuracies of the list with the swiftness and severity of a celebrity fat-shaming scandal. Here are some of the Internet's reactions:

Twitter is calling the fateful "7 Ways" list "Hispandering," and they might just have hit the nail on the head with a hammer held by a hard-working, struggling Hispanic immigrant grandmother.

Christmas Season

Muslim family barred from flying to Disneyland just for being a Muslim family.

A British Muslim family were about to embark on their dream vacation to Disneyland with 11 aunts, uncles and cousins when U.S. Homeland Security banned them from boarding the flight to Los Angeles.

With no explanation or compensation, and having had their necessary travel authorization approved by the U.S. Embassy weeks before, Mohammad Tariq Mohmood and his family were denied the opportunity to visit the Happiest Place on Earth.

The Member of Parliament representing the family's district wrote a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, demanding action.

Mr. Mahmood, 41, who owns a gym in North East London, was looking forward to reuniting with family members in Southern California for the first time in 15 years.

The trip was planned in part by the kids, ages 8 to 19, who were excited for the Disney dream vacation. Mahmood told Metro:

We had been planning the trip for four to five months and my kids had countdowns on their phones … We are decent people. My kids are obviously upset. They know why it happened and they know what is going on in the world.

He added, "It could be because of Donald Trump, as why otherwise would all of this spring up on us?"

The Mahmood family lost over £11,000, and were forced to endure the embarrassment of being turned away. Forget Disneyland; this is Dismaland.Mahmood concluded:

I respect these people need to react if there is a genuine concern but they need to make sure this concern is genuine … They need to check our backgrounds, check our accounts and check our businesses before they react like that. They can’t react like that just because we are Muslim.
