Derek Zoolander gives an exclusive tour of his ridiculously good-looking apartment.

0
0

Derek Zoolander, the supermodel alter-ego of comedian Ben Stiller and star of Zoolander 2, gave an informal tour of his apartment while answering Vogue's "73 Questions." And yes, he did his infamous "blue steel" look the whole time. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4q0K561WXs

His favorite country is TriBeCa, his favorite Disney character is Walt, and his favorite TV show is "that one with the lizard who sells insurance." Zoolander 2 opens in theaters on February 12. 


Old white British actors complain about the #OscarsSoWhite protests over tea and crumpets.

0

British actors Michael Caine and Charlotte Rampling said clueless old white people stuff when asked about the #OscarsSoWhite boycott of the Academy Awards this year. Old white people historically aren't the hippest people when it comes to race, and despite being celebrities, Caine and Rampling—the latter of whom is up for a Best Actress Oscar for her role in 45 Years—are no exception.

Rampling—who maybe has a potential defense for her comments because they were originally made to a French radio show and might have been mistranslated, maybe—reportedly said that the boycott is "racist to whites."

"One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list," she added, illuminatingly.

La and ta, so British and white are we.

By comparison, Caine's comments were more measured, and also delivered in English. “You can’t vote for an actor because he’s black," he said to a British radio show. "You can’t just say, ‘I’m going to vote for him. He’s not very good, but he’s black. I’ll vote for him.’ You have to give a good performance."

Caine, however, was apparently under the impression that Idris Elba got nominated for an Oscar for Beasts of No Nation. "I saw Idris, and I thought he was wonderful," he said in that Michael Caine voice you're hearing in your head right now. "I thought he would get [nominated]. Did he not get nominated?"

Caine is not going to the Oscars—"I’m too old to travel that far to sit in an audience and clap for someone else"—but he told the radio program that his message for black actors is to "be patient," because it also took Michael Caine a long time to get an Oscar.

Caine won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1986, and the first ever black person to win an Oscar in that category did so a whopping four years earlier, so he has a point. Michael Caine is about as successful at the Oscars as all black actors collectively.

The boycott, spearheaded in part by Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith, was prompted by the Academy not nominating a single person of color in any of the acting categories (and many of the other categories) for the second year in a row. As a result, some people on Twitter are outraged by Rampling's and Caine's comments:

Lots of people think Jimmy Kimmel's #OscarsSoWhite segment was unfunny and racist.

People are getting really angry about a segment on Jimmy Kimmel last night that pokes fun at calls to boycott the Oscars for this year's lineup of all-white acting nominations. And to think that Kimmel usually uses his trolling powers for good. Here's the controversial sketch in question, in which a clueless PR director for the Academy Awards offers more "diverse" takes on Oscar-nominated movies.

And here's how people are reacting:

This guy used Google autocomplete to write a dating profile. His ideal partner probably needs therapy.

0
0

Comedian Aaron Gillies, known for his list of things that make his wife cry, decided to experiment with creating an online dating profile. Instead of filling out any answers himself, Gillies used Google autocomplete, which does not always supply the ideal result, despite its advanced technology.

https://twitter.com/TechnicallyRon/status/690175736225882112

Clearly Google autocomplete needs to practice some self-love before it can really put itself out there. Anybody whose turn off is "being found in human form" should likely not list "ready" as his/her body type.

If you are into this autocomplete profile, Gillies has offered his help:

Or, instead of paying Gillies to create a sad, strange profile for you, you could just be your sad, strange self.

The top 42 tweets of the week as picked by someone who spends way too much time on Twitter.

This week, politics dominated the news cycle. After Sunday night's debate, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders spent the next few days taking shots at each other, leaving Martin O'Malley to strum his guitar or whatever. In the Republican race, Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump, then blamed her son's domestic violence arrest on President Obama for some reason.

Elsewhere, a lack of diversity in the Oscar nominations sparked talks of a boycott, playoffs excitement mounted, and the East Coast hunkered down for a massive snowstorm. This list covers all that and more, plus jokes about Shrek, tambourines, cheerleaders, and the age-old question: "Is the thumb a finger?" These are the Top 42 Tweets Of The Week.

Gillian Anderson was offered half the amount David Duchovny got for the 'X-Files' reboot.

0

Gillian Anderson recently revealed that she was initially offered only half the amount of money that David Duchovny was getting to appear in FOX's X-Filesreboot. In an interview with The Daily Beast, she said she was surprised that more reporters hadn't brought up that fact after it was disclosed in The Hollywood Reporter. She went on: “Especially in this climate of women talking about the reality of [unequal pay] in this business, I think it’s important that it gets heard and voiced. It was shocking to me, given all the work that I had done in the past to get us to be paid fairly. I worked really hard toward that and finally got somewhere with it."

Nobody puts Gillian Anderson in the corner, wage-wise.

Anderson has always had to fight to make sure both Anderson herself and her character, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, were treated as equals to Duchovny and the character of Fox Mulder. In the beginning of the original series, the studio asked that Anderson always stand a few feet behind Duchovny in scenes they were in together, and it was three years before she managed to earn the same salary as him. 

She continued: “Even in interviews in the last few years, people have said to me, ‘I can’t believe that happened, how did you feel about it, that is insane.’ And my response always was, ‘That was then, this is now.’ And then it happened again! I don’t even know what to say about it.”

Anderson stood her ground and in the end, she did get the same amount as Duchovny for the X-Files revival. Hopefully she won't be standing three feet behind him in the new miniseries.

Piling up.


This third-grade teacher made a hilarious snow day parody of Adele's 'Hello.'

0
0

Mary Morris, a third-grade teacher from Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, made a parody of the Adele song "Hello," complete with its own hysterical, melodramatic black and white video.

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

The song, called "Snow Day," was put on YouTube two days ago and already has almost a quarter of a million views. The video shows an elementary school teacher sadly returning to school after the holiday break and pleading for a snow day ("or at least a good delay") to spare her from the pain of having to keep her students inside during recess due to the cold weather. 

The idea to make this video came after another video of Morris performing the parody song live for her fellow teachers at Rush Strong School went viral two weeks ago. Adele she is not, but still, this lady can sing.

Quick: what do you send to a friend to signify that you just saw dick? The phrase "I just saw a penis?" Nice try, mom. An eggplant emoji? What, did you just get here in a time machine coming from 2014? The new thing is using the nose emoji, according to real-life emoji expert Jeremy Burge. He's the creator of the website Emojipedia, and you can see him here talking about how to use the nose emoji to mean penis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQYBxJk3GPY&feature=youtu.be

It's easier to see if you turn it upside down:

Of course, it looks like the head has been lopped off in a horrible accident, but apparently you're supposed to ignore that.

So if your friend sends this text:

Know that it probably didn't involve tissues (unless your friend is really lame).

Nespresso sued a company for using a George Clooney look-alike, which is ridiculous because George Clooney is way hotter.

0

Since 2006, George Clooney has done commercials abroad Nespresso, and his commercial work has done well for the company. In response to this successful coupling of silver fox and espresso, rival company Israeli Espresso Club launched an advertisement that craps all over Nespresso's Clooney spots with a Clooney-alike.

The ad, which started airing in January, opens with text reading "This is not George Clooney." In case it's not clear enough this is a riff on Nespresso, the not-George-Clooney guy walks out of a Nespresso-like store and is made out to be a fool. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56DKvnXmpxo

Nespresso Israel was like, "This is trash, that dude looks just like George Clooney" and so they've sued the Israeli Espresso Club for $50,000. Okay, they actually said they want to "prevent customers from being misled."

Honestly, this lawsuit is a waste of money because that guy has got nothing on George. Dude is a bad actor who can't hold a candle to Clooney.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50RFZXmTgxM

George Clooney is on his own level.

Macklemore calling out Iggy Azalea for cultural appropriation is the tile calling the toilet white.

0
0

Rapper Macklemore released a free nine-minute song on iTunes today called "White Privilege II" in which he name drops celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea, accusing them of cultural appropriation. It's a follow up to "White Privilege," a track on The Heist, and it references Macklemore's involvement with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. 

https://twitter.com/bettinahansen/status/537116423122731008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The verse that calls out other musicians goes:

You've exploited and stolen the music, the moment," he raps at one point. "The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with / The culture was never yours to make better...

You're Miley, you're Elvis, you're Iggy Azalea/ Fake and so plastic, you've heisted the magic/ You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in/ You're branded 'hip-hop,' it's so fascist and backwards.

This is confusing for many, because Macklemore is a white rapper who is often pointed to as an example of a white person being more successful than a black person in the hip-hop and rap industry. Anyway, here's the song, and it's a roller coaster of emotions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_rl4ZGdy34

The Internet has exploded with opinions on the song that range from, "you are the problem" to "you are the solution" to "you are terrible at music, who cares what your songs are about." For example:

https://twitter.com/keixolanay/status/690459741038977024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/Youngg_White/status/690427502523641856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/cthagod/status/690505529916014592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/stereowilliams/status/690434651886915584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/TimRossComedy/status/690448181109329920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Some conjectured that an earlier tweet from Iggy Azalea was a response to the verse:

https://twitter.com/IGGYAZALEA/status/690441604247769088

And that would be very funny! But then she actually responded:

https://twitter.com/IGGYAZALEA/status/690451451412365317?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/IGGYAZALEA/status/690453428254982144https://twitter.com/IGGYAZALEA/status/690454706523656192

Yet another example of the dichotomy that is Macklemore: he hates white privilege, but he is steeped in it. He hates Iggy Azalea, but he is happy to pose with her at events. He's almost as complicated as racism.

Perspective.

Justin Bieber liked Ariana Grande's photos, her maybe-boyfriend got mad, and now it's a mess or something.

Anybody can be bad at social media, but if you're a whiny man-child celebrity like Justin Bieber, you need to be extra-careful. Like, if you absolutely have to leave a flirting comment on Ariana Grande's Instagram, maybe make a fake Instagram account to do it. Or just don't do it. 

Bieber allegedly "liked" two of Grande's Instagram videos:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAxycMYSWQx/?taken-by=arianagrandehttps://www.instagram.com/p/BAxyQHKSWQf/?taken-by=arianagrande

Bieber then commented:

Thank goodness the poetry of romance isn't dead.

This inspired Grande's maybe-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez to reportedly tell Bieber to back off on the commentary:

Already told him? Did Alvarez call Bieber to be like, "Yo, heads up. My gf is hot."?

And then Grande herself seemed to weigh in on the whole thing with this simple response:

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/689954668722655232

Which she followed with:

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/689955747363475456

Ah yes, implying that Justin Bieber is satan. That's a drama-free indeed.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga: Did they break up? Did they not break up? Are they lovers so destined to be together that in 40 years, we'll be watching The Kylie and Tyga Story on Lifetime?

Eh, probably not. On Thursday, the rapper was spotted in a very romantic location (a parking garage) with Kylie look-alike Val Mercado. US Weekly describes Mercado as "an aspiring model and singer," but fails to add "who looks so disturbingly like Kylie Jenner that Tyga maybe actually just mixed the women up and thought he was actually hanging with Kylie."

https://twitter.com/people/status/690584727280041984

Here are some photos from Mercado's Instagram, which is primarily selfies with the odd screenshot thrown in every now and again:

So are Kylie and Tyga done? Or are they working on a reality series about their on-again, off-again relationship? Only time (and the E! network) will tell.

Within the vast world of text messages, there exists the sub-world of mom texts. These messages are quintessentially mother-y, whether they're exhibiting an unfamiliarity with technology or subtly deploying a dose of guilt.

Winter Storm Jonas began pummeling the East Coast Friday, with Washington D.C. getting hit first, and New York City expected to see 18-24 inches of snowfall on Saturday. Most states in the Mid-Atlantic region have declared states of emergency. As such, many people in this region will be staying indoors, trying to avoid the dangerous Yeti that's been known to roam free during blizzards. They'll also be tweeting, just like they did in anticipation of the storm earlier this week. Here are the 17 funniest tweets about the storm so far:
