Seth Meyers has a history of inviting Game of Thrones characters to social gatherings, so it should come as no surprise that he invited Melisandre (Carice van Houten) to his baby shower on Thursday night's episode. It should also come as no surprise that a priestess of the Lord of Light makes a terrible guest. Melisandre isn't exactly known for being good with kids; she's better known for burning them at the stake.

Meyers' wife Alexi Ashe is really pregnant, by the way. Let's hope no fictional priestesses attended her actual baby shower.
Making it in the ultra-competitive world of dog shows isn't easy—it takes commitment, dedication, and laser-sharp focus. Dario the Leonberger has all that in spades, only it's directed at his handler's pocket. Dario didn't win Best in Show at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, or even best in his group (working dogs). But that didn't stop him from trying to help himself to some extra treats from handler Sam Mammano's pocket during their trot around the ring.

The charming two-and-a-half year old dog's performance did, however, win him lots of attention, and his new fans raved about him on Twitter.
Mammano couldn't be mad at the sweet dog, though (well, not in public, at least. Who knows what kind of stern lecture Dario received afterwards?), telling the AP that it provided some "[g]ood comic relief," and adding "He's a young, silly dog and was just having fun." Also, wrong pocket, Dario, you dummy.
Ryan Reynolds brought his Canadian charm (is that a thing?) to James Corden's Late Late Show, where Corden donned a bunch of stupid outfits to audition for a sidekick role for Reynold's Deadpool. While great in terms of their puns, Corden's superheroes were pretty useless, especially given the fact that Deadpool is a loner anti-hero who doesn't have a sidekick. It's a solid effort, though, and Reynolds was nice about it because he's a nice guy. The interaction all went down in Reynolds' "office," which is really well decorated.

Double Deadpool, coming soon to a sex dream near you.
Though she is married to an NFL player and has three kids, TV personality Kristin Cavallari will forever and always be a teenager in the eyes of Laguna Beach fans. In acknowledgment of the blessed days when she was first a reality star, Cavallari posted the ultimate throwback photoon Instagram yesterday.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BB7x3QANQ0N/
"We were babies," Cavallari captioned the photo of her and Stephen Colletti, her sometimes high school boyfriend (or soul mate, depending on who you ask).
Fans had the appropriate reaction.
Ah, the good old early days of teen reality shows.
Now enjoy this casting video of Stephen.

"She has very good, like, features. Her body." Stephen always had a way with words.
While not promoting his upcoming movie Term Life, actor Vince Vaughn is apparently sharpening his fibbing skills to compete against reigning "Box of Lies" champ, Jimmy Fallon. Vaughn finally got the chance to show off his abilities when he appeared on The Tonight Show this Thursday. Will Fallon prevail or will he lose his cool against Vaughn, who seems to be particularly good at this game?
Model and hilariously outspoken pregnant lady Chrissy Teigen looks gorgeous in her most recent Sports Illustrated, Swimsuit Edition photoshoot—but behind the scenes, she was doing fertility treatments in between poses, she told People.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BB0Kj1vJjWI/
"I was doing IVF during the shoot," she said. "I was getting my shots and everything in Zanzibar, I had a little medical kit. It was hard because you bloat from it, and you bruise — if I hit the wrong area. That’s the kind of things we had to cover with makeup." From this end, it's tough to notice any "bloating" in the picture.
Video of a high school fight on in Sonoma, CA is going viral because one of the fighters is a girl, and she's got some serious MMA moves. In the video, taken February 11 outside Sonoma Valley High School, the teenaged girl throws the boy to the ground and knees him in the face twice, before body-slamming him and booking the hell out of there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9hIEPSIIfw
According to ABC 7 News, the brawl was a result of the boy posting comments on the girl's Facebook page. The male student is a freshman at Sonoma Valley High, while the female student, also a freshman, attends Creekside High, an alternative high school that shares a campus with Sonoma Valley High.
Professional Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter Kit Dale happened to see the video and posted it on his Facebook page, where it's since gotten over 15 million views.
In an interview with CBS News, Sonoma Valley High School principal Kathleen Hawing expressed disappointment both about a fight happening on her campus, and about video of the fight going viral. Creekside High School principal Sydney Smith told CBS, "The lesson to come out of this is to think twice, and if it's not nice, don't post it," referring to the dispute on social media that led to the fight (sounds a bit like, "Don't start none, won't be none," which is actually a pretty reasonable approach to discipline for a principal). The school district issued a statement saying administrators took "appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with established school district policies," but didn't elaborate. Students told ABC 7 the girl was suspended, and the Sonoma police chief said officers are still investigating and the girl could face a charge of battery on school grounds.
Look, violence is never the answer, but holy moly, that girl can fight. The ABC 7 report references an article in the Sonoma Index Tribute that reports another fight on that campus last month, in which a 17-year-old female Creekside student kicked a 17-year-old male student in the face. What the hell is going on at Creekside High? Who is teaching these teenage girls MMA? Some sort of MMA version of Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid, secretly training teenaged girls inspired by female MMA fighters Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm? And most importantly, when is the movie coming out?
For its ad on the back of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Snickers used the space to cleverly poke fun at common retouching errors in Photoshop (after all, what's photoshopped more in this messed-up world than already beautiful women in swimsuits?). "Photo retouchers get confused when they're hungry," the caption reads, and it's apparent from the ad, which supposedly features 11 retouching errors:
Some of the mistakes are obvious, and some of them you'll have to look really closely at this bikini model to notice.
Shia LaBeouf, the sometime actor/sometime performance artist, is making elevators artsy by riding in one for 24 hours, The Guardian reported. Fellow art collective members Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner are onboard with LaBeouf for the seemingly never-ending ride. The project (called #ELEVATE) is going up and down at Oxford University and anybody who so desires can get inside for some small, medium, or real talk. Watch the conversational Tower of Terror.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KDW4o6BYUE
The video feed—which hopefully will stop for some bathroom breaks—is pretty visually bland, since for some reason the camera is on the outside of the elevator. Only when participants enter or exit is the inside of the elevator perceptible. It's almost like LaBeouf and his fellow artists went out of their way to make the most boring project possible. At least his movie marathon had some excellent facial expressions.
Ever since Donald Trump announced he was running for President, tributes have been popping up everywhere. People carved Donald Trump Pumpkins, put on sexy Donald Trump costumes, and even forced Trump wigs on their cats' tiny heads. Love him or hate him, he's apparently here to stay. And for the people who hopped on the latest trend of getting Donald Trump tattoos, he will stay with them forever.
1. Imagine being drunk enough to request this Trump head on a baby body tattoo.
It's hard to not yell at excruciatingly slow drivers when you're behind the wheel, but it's not hard to miss a humongous spinning tornado that is about to completely devour you. South Florida native Anthony Ciarrochi is one hell of a lucky guy. Last Tuesday, he unintentionally drove straight into a tornado without noticing the disastrous natural phenomena happening right in front of him.
Watch Ciarrochi's entire nightmarish experience in the video below (warning: NSFW language):
https://youtu.be/WW4oWAN6DO4
"Ok people, what the f*ck!" Ciarrochi screamed as the tornado plowed its way across the street. Good god, the man is completely oblivious.
If his profanity becomes too overbearing for you to listen, you might want to skip to around 1:45 in the video—the moment when this beast arrives:
The Southeast Louisiana Storm Spotters on YouTube commented on how completely idiotic it was for him to drive through a tornado. "Even the most experienced chasers don't do this. YOU Anthony almost lost your life and if you are a ‘Storm chaser’ you're not a very smart one," the group wrote.
This week began with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's sudden death, followed by political turmoil and conspiracy theories galore. The Grammys thrilled fans of Hamilton and Taylor Swift. Presidential candidates descended upon South Carolina. The Pope criticized Donald Trump and was criticized in turn. All this, plus jokes about self-aware Sims, skeleton armies, dueling psychiatrists, and more, in the top 41 tweets of the week!
For a brief moment in time, according to Jezebel, Britney Spears joined celebrities like Lena Dunham who have publicly supported Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy. Then, like Spears circa 2007, she tried to make the world forget that happened.
Britney Spears met up with Clinton in Las Vegas (there is no indication that Clinton attended Spears' Piece of Me show while in the city) and shared twophotos of the pair on her Instagram.
Being in Vegas for #PieceOfMe is amazing for so many reasons... Especially today... because I had the incredible opportunity to meet @HillaryClinton!! Such an inspiration and beautiful voice for women around the world!!! This woman had an intense presence and I felt very honored to meet her!!!
Apparently, Spears's caption initially included the hashtag #ImWithHer, which inferred Spears's support of Clinton. And then the hashtag disappeared. Curious.
The second photo Britney shared of her and Clinton was completely caption-less.
There's no stated reason as to why Spears adjusted her Insta, though it could be because she (her team) didn't want to upset fans with a political statement. But that happened.
Maybe if Spears flooded her Instagram with pictures of corn she could quickly move past this incident.
Leah Franklin is now the queen of the social media trend "pregnant women dancing," wherein heavily pregnant women film themselves busting some moves with their big bellies on display. On February 2, Franklin shared this video of herself (along with her baby daddy) dancing and lip-syncing to, appropriately, "The Baby Momma Dance" by Starrkeisha (a.k.a.) Cameron J. Henderson.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n2WezppxIc
According to Yahoo! News, Franklin later posted an update to the video, saying she gave birth two days later on February 4 to her baby boy.
The whole "pregnant women dancing" trend began when moms-to-be started posting videos of themselves dancing to induce labor, or sometimes as a way to get through the pain of labor. This video of New Zealand mom Ambz Shi Murphy dancing during labor to the same song has over a million and half views on Facebook.
And here's Kortni McLady dancing (with her cat) to Justin Bieber's "Sorry" after experiencing pre-labor symptoms. In the caption, she writes that her water broke four hours later.
This pregnant mom doing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance in her living room in an attempt to induce labor has almost 4 million views on YouTube (the dance instructions heard in the background are worth the watch alone).
Ronda Rousey stopped by The Tonight Show a few evenings ago, and following her appearance—where she discussed important topics like dining at Hooters after the Marine Ball—she posted a picture of her outfit to Instagram.
I have to make an apology to everyone - I was sent a picture to share on social for Fallon that was altered without me knowing to make my arms look smaller. I won't say by who - I know it was done with severely misplaced positive intentions - but this goes against everything I believe and I am extremely proud of every inch of my body. And I can assure you all it will never happen again. I could not be more appalled and hope you all forgive me
Whoever photoshopped that picture better lay low for a few days.
Rousey has been using her Instagram lately to promote her appearance in the 2016 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.
Sure, there's some photoshop going on there, too, but the photo is from a magazine spread, and Rousey's arms still definitely look like they can do some damage.
Tommy Edison, who goes by the moniker "The Blind Film Critic" on YouTube, creates videos where he talks about the hilarious perks of being blind and urges those who have the ability to see to take advantage of the little things in life. Unless, of course, you’re this woman.
Edison was recently challenged by his YouTube subscribers to sketch random objects such as a car, a cat, and a portrait of himself. The results are incredible.
In what may be the most depressing piece of correspondence you'll see today, a 19-year-old white woman tweeted a photo of a racist letter from her dad that disowns her for being in a relationship with a black person. She redacted some of the sentences before uploading the photo, but you'll get the awful gist:
Over the last several years, you've turned on everything that we tried to instill from childhood. You're nowhere near the daughter I thought you would be at this point, and I'm deeply broken-hearted.
You treat both of us with contempt. You've been using us for money, while disrespecting us in every way. You dress like a street walker, and you sulk when we take you to church. You have no respect for morals, and have abandoned any sense of righteousness.
Yes, we had this discussion - sort of - a while back. At that time, I hoped I would eventually take the high road and come to accept an interracial relationship. The truth is that I'm human, and I make choices of my own. While it may not be anti-biblical, I know I will never accept it, and I'll never forgive you. My belief is that interracial relationships are despicable. Vulgar and reprehensible. There's nothing worse than a half-black, and I'm crushed that my own daughter has entered into such a disgusting relationship.
Mistakes can be forgiven, but you have willingly and consciously chosen a lifestyle of sickening choices, and I won't tolerate it. You have one final opportunity. Either end your relationship with 'Nike', or face the consequences. There are 3 suitcases emptied and waiting. If you choose this black kid over your parents, then fill them up and leave my house. Take my information out of your phone, and DO NOT attempt to contact me again, the rest of your life. Change your name as soon as possible, because I won't have any association with you. Ever.
Dad.
The couple has apparently been together for at least a couple of weeks; the girl's boyfriend tweeted this earlier this month:
