How hard is acting, really? All you have to do is say lines somebody else wrote for you. The real challenge for an actor (or anyone in the movie business) comes once they win an Oscar. Then they have to give a moving, personal, and memorable acceptance speech, all before the orchestra cuts them off. Here are some Oscar winners who rose to the challenge.

1. Halle Berry—Best Actress for Monster's Ball (2002)

Berry was so overwhelmed, she could barely breathe. After she devoted her speech to recognizing the groundbreaking African-American actresses that preceded her, neither could anybody else.

2. Cuba Gooding, Jr.—Best Supporting Actor for Jerry Maguire (1997)

Everyone wants to think they’d stand still and flawlessly deliver a poetic, yet lightly funny, yet emotionally resonant speech… but in reality, they’d probably act like Gooding, which is perfect.

3. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova—Best Original Song for Once (2008)

Hansard and Irglova were two indie musicians who made a microbudget indie love story about buskers, which included their beautiful song, “Falling Slowly.” Hansard ended the speech with a simple but powerful capper: “Make art.” The orchestra cut in before Irglova could talk, so host Jon Stewart brought her back for her own special moment.

4.Tom Hanks—Best Actor for Philadelphia (1994)

Philadelphia was a watershed cultural moment for how homosexuals were depicted on-screen, and the beloved Hanks used his speech to recognize the enormity of winning an Oscar for his performance as a lawyer dying of AIDS. He also made a point of thanking—and outing—his old drama teacher.

5. Marion Cotillard—Best Actress for La Vie en Rose (2008)

Cotillard was a surprise winner for her role in the Edith Piaf biopic, and she was adorably flummoxed and shocked. The takeaway quote: “Thank you life, thank you love, and it is true there are some angels in this city.”

6. Matthew McConaughey—Best Actor for Dallas Buyers Club (2014)

The McConaissance is complete. After a career resurgence with True Detective, Magic Mike, and the movie for which he won an Oscar, a white tuxedoed McConaughey charmed the hell out of everybody with a moving three-part speech, imploring viewers to find “something to look up to, something to look forward to, and something to chase.”

7. Sally Field—Best Actress for Places in the Heart (1985)

You like her. You really like her! That’s a very common misquote, but this is where it comes from. The context is that Field was acknowledging that she came a loooong way from The Flying Nun and Gidget.

8. Robin Williams—Best Supporting Actor for Good Will Hunting (1998)​

Despite being dressed like the world’s coolest priest, Williams’ speech was as marvelous as one would expect from the world’s greatest improviser. He made some on-point jokes about his film’s screenwriters, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (“I need to see some ID”), director Gus Van Sant, and the Weinstein brothers. But he started it off with the most perfect thing Robin Williams could say: “This is the one time I’m speechless.”

9. Jack Palance—Best Supporting Actor for City Slickers (1992)

Palance has since passed away, but One-Armed Push-up Jack could still probably kick your ass.

Say hello to Jesper the adventure cat. Jesper lives in Hedmark, Norway and has enjoyed more of the outdoors in his two and a half years on Earth than you probably have in your entire life. He swims, hunts, camps, climbs trees, bikes, rides horses, and even skis.

Well, okay, he doesn't exactly ski himself, he just runs in front of or alongside his owner while she skis. Or he makes himself comfortable on her shoulders.

Or in her backpack.

He climbs trees, and can probably even figure out to get back down by himself (the infamous Achilles' Heel of felines everywhere).

Jesper navigates the wilderness like a pro, stopping every so often to chew on branches, as one does while forging rivers.

Don't worry about Jesper falling in—even if he does, he has no problem swimming.

After all, he can always dry out in front of the campfire.

Jesper's a fan of bike rides, especially since he doesn't have to pedal. He just chills in a basket and enjoys the scenery while tending to a little bathing.

He's pretty friendly with his owner's horses, and he'll catch a ride on one of them sometimes, too.

And when he gets tired, he can just climb into his owner's backpack.

Zipped up, all warm and cozy like.

The other backpack in Jesper's life is his own, which he often wears on his adventures.

So when he goes hunting or fishing…

…he has a place to keep his catches.

Jesper's been a fan of the outdoors since he was a wee kitten.

And a fan of hitching rides since then, too.

Of course, Jesper's life isn't all about the outdoors. At the end of a long day of exploring, he goes home and curls up with his toys just like the rest of us.

They may be born actors, but these people weren't bornactors. And just like the regular non-famous humans they once were, they actually had to work regular, non-famous jobs at some point. Some of them are actually pretty interesting. Others are Sylvester Stallone.

1. Patrick Dempsey, champion juggler.

In his youth, Patrick Dempsey was a competitive juggler. In an interview with Forbes, he explains that as a kid he wanted to ski, so he learned how to ride a unicycle for balance. Then one day during some free time, a teacher at school taught him how to juggle. A vaudeville scout in town saw him riding a unicycle and juggling, and... now he's a famous actor.

In the video below, 18-year-old Dempsey juggles and also dances in a baggy eighties outfit that must be seen to be believed. Too bad McDreamy didn't get to juggle any scalpels or bones on Grey's Anatomy.

2. Sylvester Stallone, porn star.

Before he was Rocky, he was Stud: in 1970,Stallone starred in a softcoreporn movie called The Party at Kitty and Stud's (re-released after the release of Rocky as Italian Stallion). It consisted of two days of work for which he got paid $200. Five years later, Stallone was offered $350,000 for the script for Rocky, which he wrote in three and a half days. He declined that offer, instead taking one that paid less, but that also stipulated he star in the movie (instead of Burt Reynolds or Ryan O'Neal, both of whom were supposedly being considered).

3. Hugh Jackman, gym teacher and party clown.

Before he was Wolverine, Hugh Jackman was a physical education teacher—in 1987 he taught for a year at a boys' school called Uppingham in England. In 2013, he ran into a former pupil of his, who'd become an entertainment reporter, on the red carpet, and they had a laugh about it.

Jackman also briefly worked as a clown, and last summer he even tweeted a picture of himself in costume as proof. Maybe one day he and Patrick Dempsey will have a juggling fight to the death.

4. David Zayas, cop.

It's no surprise that David Zayas played Sergeant Angel Batista so convincingly on Dexter—he actually was a New York City police officer for almost 15 years before he gave it up and started acting full-time, when he was cast as Enrique Morales on the HBO prison drama, Oz. He didn't, however, have any experience prior to that as a real inmate, so that role took more imagination.

5. Gerard Butler, lawyer?

Well, almost. Gerard Butler graduated from law school and got a job as a trainee at an Edinburgh law firm and was just a week away from qualifying as a lawyer when he was fired, mainly for partying too much.

6. Cyndi Lauper, ear piercer.

According to her memoir, Cyndi Lauper once worked as an ear piercer, "once" being the operative word. She was an employee at the store, and when they asked her to try her hand piercing ears with a piercing gun, she thought it would be no problem, since she'd helped her mother reupholster some kitchen chairs with a staple gun. Turns out she was incorrect in her assessment.

7. Kanye West, Gap employee.

Kanye's always loved fashion—before he was a megastar, he worked as a sales associate at Gap. He even rapped about it on his song "Spaceship": “Let's go back, back to the Gap / Look at my check, wasn't no scratch / So if I stole, wasn't my fault / Yeah I stole, never got caught."

Just last week West told Business Insider that his dream is to be "the Steve Jobs of the Gap," a position which recently became open (sort of) after Gap cut ties with its former creative director, Rebekka Bay. Don't give up, Kanye, maybe one day you'll make that dream come true.

8. Evangeline Lilly, flight attendant.

Before her plane crashed on a mysterious island in Lost, Evangeline Lilly was a flight attendant. She worked for Royal Airlines, and told Jay Leno that she once farted on a passenger who was annoying her. That's a pretty cool skill, should the whole acting thing not pan out.

9. Harrison Ford, carpenter.

Harrison Ford got his big break as Han Solo, but prior to that, he was a full-time carpenter, as evidenced by this hot shirtless picture of him. It even made Chewbacca feel a little faint.

10. Victoria Beckham, roller-skating sperm.

Rounding out a resume which includes Spice Girl, fashion titan, and professional non-smiler, Victoria Beckham was once a roller-skating sperm. Not just for fun—it was for the job she held on a BBC sex education show called Body Matters. Pictures do not exist; trust us, we've looked.

11. Jon Hamm, set dresser for porn movies.

Mad Men's favorite handsome scowler Jon Hamm had a job in the late nineties as a set dresser for Cinemax softcore porn movies. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hamm called the job as "soul-crushing," so it probably gave him a lot of insight into what must be the next most soul-crushing job possible—advertising.

12. Tom Cruise, almost priest.

It seems Tom Cruise has always been fascinated with religion. Before Scientology, he was "infatuated" with the Catholic Church, even attending St. Francis Seminary School in Cincinnati, OH, where he thrived in drama club, until he got thrown out for stealing liquor.

13. George Clooney, insurance salesman.

George Clooney claims to have had a "a lot of rotten jobs," including door-to-door insurance salesman. He told David Letterman that he wasn't very good at that one:"The first day I sold one (policy) and the guy died."

14. Christopher Walken, lion tamer.

Among other things, Christopher Walken once worked as an assistant lion tamer in the circus, as a child. As a child! You know what, somehow that's not even that surprising, really. He would wait until all the lions save one had left the ring, then, pretending to be the lion tamer's son, and wearing an identical outfit, he would wave his whip at the big cat. "It was a female named Sheba, and she was very sweet. Like a dog, really."

15. Danny DeVito, hairdresser.

Not wanting to go to college after high school, Danny DeVito instead got a job working in his sister Angie's beauty parlor. He reportedly told George Lopez on his short-lived talk show that he attended Wilfred Academy (a beauty school in New Jersey) and later got a job as a hairdresser in a morgue. "There she would be—it was only women's hair I did—and she didn't talk back."

16. Whoopi Goldberg, morgue beautician.

Whoopi Goldberg also got her start at the morgue, working as a mortuary beautician. She had a job as a bricklayer, too, and when it comes to putting makeup on corpses, it's probably not an altogether different skill set.

According to Goldberg, on her first day on the job her boss pretended to be a corpse, and then sat up and waved at her (ah, jokes!). He told her, "That's the worst thing that could ever happen to you here, and it won't. So there's nothing to be scared of."

17. Sean Connery, coffin polisher.

That's not a euphemism—Sean Connery actually had a job polishing coffins (you know dead people won't tolerate dust and greasy fingerprints all over their caskets). He also worked as a bricklayer, milk man, and nude model, until 1950 when he placed third in the Mr. Universe contest and went into acting full-time.

18. Geena Davis, mannequin.

At six feet tall and stunningly beautiful, it's not surprising that Geena Davis would work as a model. What is surprising is that she actually posed, as a sort of joke, as a mannequin in an Ann Taylor store window, making use of what she calls "an uncanny ability to be still." Her prank worked, and the store hired her to sit in the window on weekends, where she'd draw a crowd of onlookers wondering if she was real or not.

19. Ozzy Osbourne, slaughterhouse employee.

Metal's "Prince of Darkness," Ozzy Osbourne,reportedly spent a few years working in a British slaughterhouse, killing cows. In his autobiography, I Am Ozzy (yeah, dude, you are), he says he'd sneak cows' eyeballs out of the slaughterhouse to drop into people's drinks. Yup, sounds about right.

Thursday morning, a new report by the Bunche Center at UCLA revealed that movies with diverse casts get the highest grosses. The same goes for multi-ethnic TV shows, which experience a surge in ratings compared to those that don’t cast minorities. "When we look at film, we see an even stronger relationship between cast diversity and box office," Darnell Hunt, director of the Bunche Center, told ABC News.

UCLA came to this conclusion after analyzing the median amount of earnings from the top 200 films in the past few years. They discovered that a cast with 50% white people made more than any other grouping—generating $122.2 million at the box office. More specifically, that group made double the box office of films that only have white actors (a median of $52.6 million). 

“We’ve been saying it for years, but it’s still true,” Hunt told TheWrap. “When it comes to minority representation in Hollywood, the most important color is green, as in money.”

So apparently, if you want to break bank in Hollywood, you want to strike a balance with a 50% non-white cast. If you're not convinced, check out this 2014 study from the Motion Picture Association of America which shows that only 54% of movie ticket buyers at the time were Caucasian. 

"You only need to look at a film franchise like Fast and Furious to see what an enormous success that movie has been and in large part I would argue, it's because of the diversity of the cast," Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton said at the Code Media conference. "I think the Academy has reacted very, very quickly and positively to what I think was a very, extremely unfortunate situation this year."

With the Oscars top of mind right now in advance of the ceremony this Sunday, February 28, many waiting to see if The Academy will actually keep its word about diversity in its voting membership.

Every pro was once an amateur, and this year's Oscar nominees are a good reminder that you have to pay your dues with shitty roles before you get cast in the juicy Oscar bait. From Disney Channel Original Movies to Lifetime Original Movies, this year's nominated actors have certainly suffered for their art. Here are some of the highlights from the parts of their careers they want to forget.

1. Brie Larson: Right on Track

In 2003, Brie Larson played the little sister of 7th Heaven's Beverley Mitchell in this Disney Channel Original Movie, which is a far cry from Oscarbait. Mitchell and Larson played drag racing prodigies and Larson's bangs alone deserve an award.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio: Don's Plum

Don's Plum, the 1996 indie movie featuring Leo and his fellow Pussy Posse members Tobey Maguire and Kevin Connolly, had a brief run in Germany in 2001. Leo has spent the past 20 years trying to prevent the film from being released, and it's banned from being screened in the US and Canada—so it must be pretty awesome.

3. Michael Fassbender: Hex

Before he was baby Magneto or Steve Jobs, Michael Fassbender was in a cheesy British witch soap opera, Hex. The show lasted two seasons, and the clip above just reeks of Twilight. 

4. Bryan Cranston: Preparation H Commercial

You can't help but picture Cranston in his tighty-whities after watching him commit crimes in his underwear on Breaking Bad. Way before he became the unlikely underwear model, Cranston helped people feel more comfortable in theirs with his endorsement of hemorrhoidal tissue cream.

5. Alicia Vikander: Second Avenue (Andra Avenyn)

Vikander rose to fame in Sweden for starring on the soap opera Andra Avenyn. It's like a Swedish Degrassi, featuring ridiculously beautiful people exploring Very Important Topics like teen pregnancy and forbidden love, which they also have in Sweden.

6. Mark Ruffalo: On the 2nd Day of Christmas

Lifetime Christmas Movie. Enough said.

7. Christian Bale: Newsies

It's only embarrassing because he's embarrassed by it, but Bale starred in this Disney musical and was responsible for many a sexual awakening. Playing an orphan fighting on the streets of New York City got him ready to play Batman. 

8. Rachel McAdams: Shotgun Love Dolls

McAdams starred in this MTV pilot that wasn't picked up, and you can see why. A few years before she was canonized as Regina George, McAdams was just a regular teen who woke up in an alternate universe and got recruited into an all-female crimefighting team lead by Malin Akerman. Leo's Don's Plum can't be any worse than this.

9. Tom Hardy: Minotaur

Ten years ago, Tom Hardy was in a movie called Minotaur, in which he went on a journey to try and slay a Minotaur. With a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes, it was as cheesy and generic as it gets. 

10. Sylvester Stallone: Rocky V 

This movie should not exist.

Whether or not these actors get a golden statue on Sunday, they're not doing TV movies anymore, so they've already won.

Coffee has its pros and cons, but there's no denying a caffeine dependency can exert total control over your energy (and mood) levels throughout the day. Now, a Toronto-based Indiegogo campaign promises that running out of coffee at home or waiting in line for a cup with your misspelled name is a thing of the past. With Joule, getting your caffeine fix is as easy as wearing a bracelet, because that's what it is: a caffeine bracelet.

The Joule Team says their bracelets (or watches, for the slightly classier caffeine addict) deliver caffeine to your bloodstream via transdermal administration, which means your skin absorbs it through a disposable patch that's entered into a slot on the bracelet.

But sometimes waking up to a hot cup of brown is the best part of the morning; why give it up? Joule says you won't have to:

Luckily, you can use the Joule Caffeine Bracelet to complement your coffee or energy drink intake, so you have balanced energy during those times you aren’t able to get your hands on your favorite drink. Joule can also be used as a substitute if you’ve decided (or been ordered) to cut back on the caffeinated beverages for various health reasons.

Watch their pitch video below:

The company originally wanted to raise $15,000 in crowd-funding, but it turns out 1,040 backers are so into the idea that they poured $55,223 into the campaign, demonstrating the stimulant's all-demanding grasp on people's wallets and central nervous systems.

Here are some of the benefits Joule touts:

• No coffee stains on your teeth (and they note that the patch does not stain your wrist).
• You can absorb caffeine faster than drinking it.
• Doses are slowly administered throughout the day so you don't crash. 

Technological advancements can be very powerful enablers. For coffee addicts whose wrists aren't already covered in nicotine patches from their cigarette addictions, the Joule has the potential to be a true game-changer.

Pamela Anderson did a nude photo shoot for Paper magazine to promote her new vegan shoe line, which she created with French footwear designer Amélie Pichard. Anderson's photo shoot is part of the new "Girls Girls Girls" edition of Paper, and it follows her appearance as the last nude model in Playboy before they removed nudity from their printed issues.

(Warning: If you keep scrolling, you're going to see naked photos. Which is probably why you clicked on this article. But just letting you know.)

Anderson had a few things to say about being vegan and celebrity status while posing in little but her shoes:

Vegan compassion is sexy. I'm not the designer. Celebrities are not designers. I don't like the word 'celebrity,' since people can be famous for no good reason in this social media culture. Activism is fun. 

She also warned everyone to be cautious about all the political rhetoric this election season:  

Media prints what politicians say. It's not OK. We have to take charge, demonstrate. Act up! Beware people that repeat themselves over and over. It is a brainwashing trick used by Hitler. 

And she hinted that she's currently in a relationship, which is some brand new gossip:

It's very freeing to still be able to be myself. What a relief. And, to have my kids' approval, respect and love is all I need. I even have a man in my life that gets me like never before. That is everything. 

So, what did you think of the shoes? Remember, they were promoting shoes this whole time. You can check out the full shoot and interview at Paper magazine.

There are many cats out there who aren’t working too hard to maintain their nine lives—felines who get high by eating too much catnip or those who stray when you need them the most. This 27-year-old cat (121 in cat years) is a guru when it comes to maintaining good health and at the same time, looking absolutely flawless.

Meet Corduroy:

Corduroy is the world's oldest living cat according to the Guinness World Records. He was born in 1989 and resides in Oregon with his owner Ashley Reed Okura and her husband. For a cat at that age, you wouldn't think that he is keen on technology. However, he has an Instagram account with over 2,000 followers and even uses Snapchat just like all the cool kids.

Ashley and Corduroy:

Ashley told the Daily Mail, "I set up Corduroy's Instagram on August 13 last year—the same day Guinness World Records graciously announced his claim to the record of oldest living cat. I do my best to update his followers and respond to messages and special requests." 

So what's the secret to Corduroy's old age?

It might be his naps:

Or maybe his diet:

Or maybe just that he loves the outdoors:

You don't need to look any further than #OscarsSoWhite to know that the Academy can be great at stirring controversy. Keeping with that tradition, they just released the transcript of a speech made by Walt Disney made at the 1942 Oscars—a speech that the Disney company has allegedly tried to keep out of the spotlight since then. When Disney gave his acceptance speech for the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, he publicly apologized for Fantasia.

A bit of context is needed to understand ol' Walt's remorse over the movie. The innovative animated film is now regarded as a masterpiece, but upon its release during World War II, it was a tremendous flop at the box office. It failed largely due to its multi-million dollar budget (a staggering amount for any film at that time), because the entertainment industry was struggling to just keep afloat during the war. Fantasia actually tanked so hard that it threatened the very existence of the relatively young Walt Disney Company, which is likely why Walt Disney felt the need to apologize for it.

Here's the full transcription of Disney's acceptance speech:

I find myself speechless. I knew that there was something here tonight; this is way beyond my expectation. I've got a lot of thanking to do. First, for the little short subject award which we're very proud of. My musicians for their music -- it's going to be hard to get along with them now, I know. "Fantasia," in a way I feel like I should have a medal for bravery or something. We all make our mistakes, I know, but it was an honest mistake. But this, this is too much.

I'm well aware of the high ideals that this award symbolizes, and I sort of feel like I should rededicate myself to those ideals. I've been through a very trying year, the toughest year. I hope there's never another one like it. And coming after that year, I sort of feel, I'd like to feel that it's more than an award for past conscientious efforts, honest mistakes. I like to feel that it's sort of a vote of a confidence for the future. And I want to thank the members of the Academy, my friends, everybody. Thank you.

It kind of makes sense why the Disney Company, which has since gone from animation pioneer to a multi-industry titan, would disapprove of a speech where the studio's creator dismisses one of its gems as a failure. As good as it may have been, it put the company's next 70 years of cultural domination in jeopardy.

Even so, it's odd to think Disney, which now owns Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars on top of its own culturally ingrained body of work, could ever feel insecure about it. Relax, Bobby Iger! You're doing great! And Walt Disney's dead anyway!

Either way, know that Walt Disney is very, very sorry for this.

Check out a clip from Fantasia below:

Actress Jenna Dewan Tatum is no stranger to the art of dance, but she's never had to pull off moves like these before. On The Late Late Show With James Corden last night, she and Corden danced to moves choreographed by precocious little kids. The toddlerography gave Dewan Tatum a chance to hang out with the one group of people who have as much energy as her husband. 

The best part about this bit is that, unlike other late night segments involving kids, this actually seems fun for them. 

Despite the constant (negative) spotlight thrust onto the Hollywood gender wage gap in recent years, the tradition of underpaying actresses persists and, depending on who you ask, shows little sign of changing soon. A recent demoralizing example of the pay gap was Gillian Anderson, who said that for the 2016 X-Files revival, she was initially offered half of what David Duchonvy was. Anderson​ stood her ground and had her salary upped.

Unfortunately, refusing to back down in negotiations can only go so far, according to an anonymous female agent from "one of the top talent agencies" who spoke with Cosmopolitan about the negotiation process for film and TV.

"Believe me," the agent said in the interview published on February 23, "I totally agree that women need to get their quotes up, and they need to hold out for things and hold out for more money and everything like that." However, according to her, the problem runs deeper than stars engaging in negotiations. To begin with, there's the whole team behind the actresses. "We talk about actresses," she said, "but with negotiations, especially for big-name stars, there are usually a lot of people involved."

Then there's the more inherent sexism—which goes well beyond Hollywood—that has to be tackled. "If it's a high-level star," the agent explained, "then you have more leverage. Well, who's a high-level star? It's a white guy." And there goes any sense of progress. Ready to feel like it's the 1950s again?

"Women all across the board are just not valued," she said, before touching on the lack of opportunities coupled with the unequal pay. "So not only do the women want more money, they want more money and they want more work," she said. Her solution–which people probably shouldn't hold their breath for—is for studios to "mandate" that a certain percentage of jobs go to women. "Otherwise nothing will change," she said.

The agent didn't even broach the subject of race, which is a whole other topic she surely has some brutal things to say about.​

In an essay titled "Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co‑Stars?" penned for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter last October, Jennifer Lawrence approached the Hollywood wage issue with a slightly more bombastic attitude:

I'm over trying to find the "adorable" way to state my opinion and still be likable! Fuck that. I don't think I've ever worked for a man in charge who spent time contemplating what angle he should use to have his voice heard. 

Lawrence, aligning with the anonymous agent's consensus that women are paid less in Hollywood, made it clear in her essay that she, too, wants to see change in Hollywood. However, Lawrence—who acknowledged in the essay that her "problems aren't exactly relatable"—speaks mostly about negotiations in terms of equalizing salaries, and not at all about the availability of roles for women. 

In light of this need for more work for female actresses, here are a few suggestions for Hollywood:

1. Cast diverse women in more substantial roles.

2. Pay them on the basis of their work and not their gender.

3. See suggestions 1-2.

Do you agree that actresses deserve equal pay?

On Thursday, an airline passenger named Laura Henry who traveled from Newark to San Francisco claimed an United Airlines employee did something more than just handle her baggage: they opened her luggage and took a big ‘ol piss in it.

United Airlines has said that none of its highly respectable workers would have done something that disgusting. But according to TMZ, the airline bought brand-new luggage for the rightfully frustrated passenger to make up for a mystery employee's potential misdeed.

According to Henry, the smell of urine wafted out from the luggage as she opened it. She then saw putrid-yellow stains on her clothes and on the lining of the luggage. Surprisingly, however, Henry managed to get rid of the stains "after a few washes," the New York Post wrote.

Keep your luggage close frequent flyers, as this culprit with a seemingly uncontrollable bladder has not yet been found. 

GoPros have been put on toddlers, canine photographers, and lunatics exploring places they probably shouldn't be.

Now What's Inside, a YouTube channel dedicated to cutting things open and checking out what's in 'em, has put a GoPro where one's never gone before: a lava lamp.

Cutting the lamp's opening wide enough for the camera to fit in caused a huge gooey mess, but the shot was worth it. The GoPro's footage is quite groovy, and a little prenatal.

Towards the end of the video, the What's Inside team hints at their next lamp-related endeavor: a massive, homemade lava lamp, which you can check out below.

The folks at Improvenet created a series of maps showing the most common complaints people have about each state. The maps are based on Google's autocomplete search feature, which completes search terms based on the most popular searches that begin with that sentence or phrase (so if you type in "Why is Kim Kardashian" it will guess that you're trying to search for "Why is Kim Kardashian famous?"). Using half-finished phrases like "Why is Alabama so" and "Why does California have so many," Google search autocompletion can be used to figure out some of the biggest complaints and questions people have about each state. Some of them are funny. Some of them are... well, just pretty sad.

Why IS Connecticut so haunted?

Who knew that Utah was known for dancers?

Don't buy weed in Maryland.

They did this experiment on some cities, too.

Fat penguins: they're a thing. They're not just chubby because they're stress-eating squid, however; male King Penguins gain weight so that they can live off their fat reserves while protecting their eggs. But this can make the penguins less agile,so researchers at the University of London, led by Astrid Willener, took on the very important task of putting penguins on treadmills to see how their agility changed with weight loss. 

The Guardian provided this hilarious, if not quite journalistically sound, video from the experiment where the original video has been sped up and paired with jaunty music, giving the experiment a Benny Hill vibe:

The researchers discovered that the penguins did waddle better when they were trimmer, but that they "had nonetheless adapted well to be able to handle waddling while heavier." They do, however, tend to be stabler when they weigh more.

Perhaps even more important was the discovery that, like humans, penguins try to cheat their exercise routine. Willener noted that, "Sometimes the penguins were lazy and ‘water-skied’ on the treadmill by leaning their back on the back wall of the treadmill. That is obviously not good for the data collection." No, but it's great for humans being able to justify their laziness by pointing out that penguins avoid exercise too.

Emotions ran high at tonight's Republican debate in Houston. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz did their best to land jabs and trade insults with frontrunner Donald Trump, some as childish as "You're a liar!" "No, YOU'RE a liar!" Seriously. Meanwhile, John Kasich tried to appear quietly presidential, and Ben Carson often seemed to be dozing off. Comedians and commentators zinged all five candidates, the moderator, the audience and more. These are the 33 funniest reactions to the #GOPDebate!

Former model Cheryl Tiegs is not impressed that Sports Illustrated featured plus-size model Ashley Graham​on one of the three covers for their annual swimsuit issue. At the Global Green USA 13th Annual Pre-Oscars Party on Wednesday, she told E! News, "I don't like it that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them and your waist should be less than 35 [inches]. That's what Dr. Oz says, and I'm sticking to it." Yes. She quoted Dr. Oz.

Tiegs, who was on the cover of the magazine herself several times in the 1970s and early '80s, added, "No, I don't think it's healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don't think it's healthy in the long run."

In contrast to Tiegs' words, Graham has been vocal about the importance of health and there have been numerous articles detailing her workout regimen.

Oh, and according to her official IMG Models page, Graham's waist is 30 inches, not 35.

UPDATE: Cheryl Tiegs has taken to Twitter to defend her comments, although she may just be digging herself into an even deeper hole.

The Oscars are upon us. Fancy dresses, similar looking tuxes, and a bunch of speeches from white people are coming to your screen this Sunday.

In between the commercials and anticipation, there's always the odd Oscars speech that isn't just a terribly boring list of thanks to people completely anonymous to the public. When a speech stands out, it's usually for touching on major issues, or simply for a winning line or two.
