Kesha's mother, Rosemary Patricia "Pebe" Sebert, spoke exclusively to Billboard about the lawsuit surrounding Kesha's 10-plus-year business relationship with her producer Dr. Luke. Her lawsuit alleged that the producer abused her, and it requested that she be released from her contract with Sony.

She lost the case, and since then several female celebrities have come out in support of Kesha. Taylor Swift personally donated $250,000 to Kesha to help cover her legal expenses.

Sony claims Kesha can work with another producer at the company, but Sebert told Billboard that stipulation is still not enough:

Kesha's allowed to work with another producer. But Luke gets to approve them. He gets to approve of anyone she works with. He has final say over everything.

She goes on to describe Dr. Luke's treatment of Kesha as not only abusive but psychologically damaging: 

She was a prisoner. It was like someone who beats you every day and hangs you from a chain and then comes in and gives you a piece of bread. Luke would say, 'You look nice today,' and send her into ­hysterics of happiness because she was programmed to expect nothing but abuse.

Sony is reportedly planning to drop Dr. Luke, though they have not confirmed it. Kesha continues to publicly thank her supporters, and received the Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign. 

Three months after moving into a new apartment, Australian mom Janin Mayer and her husband received a message from management saying that unless she made her 19-month-old son be quieter ASAP there would be repercussions, including a $550 fine, 9 News reported.

"Please refrain from allowing your child to create excessive noise immediately and into the future," was the exact wording of the notice. "Continued breaches of the by-laws may result in the matter being taken further and a fine of $550 being imposed by the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal." In American dollars, the potential fine comes out to about $410.

Mayer—who is pregnant with her second child—was baffled upon reading the threat generated from her neighbor's dissatisfaction. "It just makes me really uncomfortable," she said of the incident regarding her son, Elli. "It makes me feel like he's being bullied."

As to whether there is "excessive noise," Mayer had this to say: "Yes, there is noise. However, it's not like it's day and night. It's not 24/7, it's not non-stop." She added, "He's not a constantly crying child or anything like that, he's just a toddler."

A Current Affair spoke with Ben Fordham, the host of the popular call-in show Sydney Live, who said Mayer's fellow residents have a point in their grievance. "Noise is noise and that can be frustrating for people," he said. On the other hand, Fordham said this approach may not be the best method. "To send off a letter with a threat of a fine as your first form of communication is, I think, getting it wrong." What else could the other residents in the building have done? Maybe talk to Mayer. That could make sense.

Watch the 9 News report to hear both sides of this noisy argument:

Should management threaten legal action over the noise of a resident's child?

Last September, antifeminist and activist Lauren Southern thought of creating a Twitter hashtag called #TheTriggering. The social media campaign was meant to incite anti-political correctness folks to "post offensive things" to social media—basically, to invest even more of their online time waging war against defenders of social justice. 

Here's Southern's proposal of The Triggering concept from last September:

The "movement" started this Wednesday:

People took up Southern's proposal and turned their trigger fingers into Twitter fingers:

Diversity, abortion, religion, and immigration laws were just a few of the hot topics.

Of course, a viral Twitter campaign is only as great as the backlash it receives. And, obviously, the mean-spirited hashtag received a lot of backlash: 

Southern, who is currently a student studying political sciences at the University of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia, has been known to stir up controversy before. The outspoken Canadian became Internet famous back in April 2015 when she posted a YouTube video explaining why she’s antifeminist. She also created a video where she claimed that “rape culture" doesn't exist in the West—the video shows her reporting from an anti-rape SlutWalk in British Columbia. 

And in case you haven't heard, last Monday, the Toronto Sun reported that a person who wasn't feeling Southern's "rebel" activism poured a bottle of what appeared to be urine on top of her head. Looks like Southern got a taste of that anti-political-correctness she's talking about. Hashtag karma. 

As part of its Unlearn campaign, Ford created a full-body “age suit” to replicate the effects of aging. The goal was to see how someone with an elderly person's restricted mobility would interact with Ford car models. Why not get a real old person to do it? Well, Ford may have wanted to observe what improvements could be made without risking injury to the elderly. Or maybe one of the engineers was just a huge fan of the 1988 movie Big.

One Mashable employee was recently given the grand opportunity to try the suit out. In short: he hated it. The suit instantly turned the 30-year-old into a “70-something person.” Watch his unfortunate day-in-a-life with the Ford age suit, below.

The age suit is composed of “goggles, ear muffs, a weighted jacket and arm and leg braces,” Mashable reported. When wearing the suit “reduces vision, restricts joints and muscles, and replicates hand tremors and back pain.”

Yes, old age will come eventually. Until that day comes, there will be no back pains or blurry vision, just a kickin' young body with the potential for almost nude selfies. Unless, you're this celebrity who is redefining old age.

Olivia Wilde stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and discussed the joys of her son Otis, his upcoming second birthday, and his fascination with Beyoncé. It sounds like he is a true member of The Bey Hive. That's not too surprising, because a lot of kids absolutely love Beyoncé. He also recognizes Bey by a region of her physique other than her booty:

It sounds like Otis is having a tremendous childhood. He will likely be a lifelong member of The Bey Hive, but hopefully he grows out of screaming at Beyoncé in public.

Hidden in a brilliant New York magazine profile of dermatologist Sandra Lee—AKA, Dr. Pimple Popper—is an account of what might be the first viral pimple popping video out there (yes, that continues to be a thing). It dates back to the late 90s, and was apparently intended as an art project:

In the late 1990s, a Belgian artist named Wim Delvoye released an experimental art film called Sybille II, in which he captured shots of whiteheads erupting in slow motion on 75-mm. film, framed in extreme close-up so that they resembled creatures in a Jacques Cousteau film. Delvoye intended it to function as a commentary about adolescence and purity, a puncturing of art’s lofty pretensions, but once it was uploaded (without his knowledge) on YouTube, commenters began dubbing it “probably the best zit video out there!!” and “pimple popping porn!!!!” Delvoye said recently that all of the film’s pimples had come from a single source: a young art student the other kids called “Old Pizza.” 

Do you want to see this experimental arty pimple-popping video from a Belgian artist and a kid called "Old Pizza?" Of course you do. It's beautiful. It's disgusting. It's right here.

This is the 2001: A Space Odyssey of pimple-popping videos.

Believe it or not, sometimes the Internet does something beyond giving you another peek at Kim Kardashian's breasts. Sometimes, it can even show you a tiny picture of joy. Take this video of an elderly woman dancing with a street performer to "Twist and Shout," a song that probably came out when she was just a young woman.

It's not a puppy video, but it turns out human beings can be pretty damn cute, too.

The very Irish sounding County Louth Golf Club in Ireland, also known as "Baltray," is apparently home to some great golf. And it's also apparently home to some adorably sneaky foxes, as Chris Hargreaves and his buddies recently discovered. They were playing golf when a cute fox approached, and this being 2016, they did what any sensible adult would do and all whipped out their phones. The fox doesn't model for free, though, so it proceeded to steal one of the golfer's wallets.

Not only did the fox take the wallet, but after the wallet's owner quickly picked it up, the fox came back to see if the guy dropped any money in his haste (at least, that's what it looked like). C'mon, fox: any good thief knows that you should never return to the scene of the crime. 

Sometimes a product comes along that is so original, or so wildly successful, that its brand name becomes shorthand for the product itself. For example: You say you’re going to Google something, not “internet search engine” it, and you’re going to clean up after with a Kleenex, not a “facial tissue.” Here are the technical terms, as far as the patent office is concerned, of some of these “genericized brand names.”

1. Dumpster: front-loader waste container.

2. Hacky sack: footbag.

3. Frisbee: flying disc.

4. Thermos: vacuum flask.

5. Jacuzzi: whirlpool bath.

6. Jumbotron: large-screen television.

7. Onesie: infant bodysuit.

8. Rollerblades: inline skates.

9. Speedo: swim briefs.

10. Zamboni: ice resurfacer.

11. Taser: electroshock weapon.

12. Lava lamp: liquid motion lamp.

13. Jet Ski: personal watercraft.

14. Bubble wrap: inflated cushioning.

15. Superglue.

16. Styrofoam: extruded polystyrene foam.

Whew! After last week's genitalia-infused brawl, the Republican candidates were on their best behavior tonight. They still found plenty to argue about, from international trade to fighting terrorism to the depths of their support for Israel. These are the 29 funniest reactions to the #GOPDebate in Florida!

In honor of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit, the White House hosted a state dinner for Canada. Between Trudeau and President Obama, there were enough attractive people already. Then Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds showed up and it was too much.

According to People, the Deadpool star sported a Burberry tux with a white tie that coordinated nicely with the metallic color of Lively's Ralph & Russo gown/bath robe.  

The coupled seemed genuinely okay about being at the White House.

Sure they looked good, as did fellow attendees Michael J. Fox, Sandra Oh, and Mike Meyers. The first ladies managed to pull it together, too.

But the true Canadian star of the eve was Justin Trudeau. Here he is talking about things and making a joke because he's that good.

Cheers to politics.

It can be a beautiful thing.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson urged her fans to be careful about accepting drinks at bars and clubs after suspecting she'd been given a spiked beverage amid a recent night out.

Obviously, letting loose during a fun night out also means being at your most vigilant and guarded against creeps and predators—which is still true when you're as talented and wealthy as Rebel Wilson. 

Here's her story:

A night at home drinking wine and Tindering with your friends doesn't sound so bad now, does it? Even so, don't feel scared about having a buck-wild night at the club with your crew—just be careful! Read up on how to tell if your drink's been spiked here.

On Thursday, Sarah Silverman made an appearance on Conan, dressed as everyone's favorite genocidal dictator, Adolf Hitler. In character, but sans accent, a super casual Hitler talked about the recent comparisons made between Donald Trump and himself. Hitler is apparently not pleased with the correlation, not so much because he disagrees with Trump ("Like 90 percent of what he says, I'm like 'This guy gets it!'") but because Trump is "crass."

"Oh yeah, I'm so sure Donald Trump has a big penis. I famously have a micro-penis, that's what makes a tyrant!" Good point. After all, remember Napoleon?

As the Republican debates become even more repetitive and tedious, people took to Snapchat Thursday night to finally answer the important questions: What would Ted Cruz look like with makeup streaming down his face? Would Trump make a good dog? Who makes the most convincing panda? Alas, here are the answers:

1. This epic montage.

2. Ted Cruz's morning after.

3. The Walking Donald.

4. The face swap.

5. Ted Cruz has never looked so fabulous (or fabulous at all).

6. John Kasich finally has his moment to shine.

7. Kasich's chubby cheeks.

8. Workout Rubio.

9. Rough rough.

10. Cruz's day at the spa.

11. This one's too real.

A group of Syrian refugees was welcomed into Vancouver on March 5 with open arms—and paws. The refugees were staying at the same hotel where an annual furry convention called VancouFur (see what they did there?) was taking place. It's unclear what the adults thought about the humans dressed in animal costumes, but the kids couldn't get enough of it.

For the uninitiated, "furries" are people who dress up as anthropomorphic animal characters (meaning they have human personalities) as a hobby.

The VancouFurries were notified via memo that refugees were staying in the same hotel. The note stressed that “a major concern that VancouFur has is ensuring that each and every one of the refugees (and attendees) feels welcome and safe and the fact that this is likely to be a major shock to them. . . Keep in mind that they likely will not want to interact with you and consent is important to everyone.”

As it turns out, the kids had absolutely no problem interacting with the furries.

So far refugees lucky enough to get into Canada have been welcomed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, via video message by Canadian students, and a furry convention.

Everyone will forever remember the moment in 2008 when Obama was elected president and arrived on stage to Stevie Wonder's "Signed Sealed Delivered" with his super cool wife and adorable daughters.

Now these tiny Democrats are all grown up, and on Thursday night attended their first state dinner—held for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—looking like gorgeous, grown humans.

Malia is such a grown-up she got to chill with Lorne Michaels.

Sasha had the coolest hair.

Delivering the opening remarks at the state dinner, President Obama got emotional, saying, “When I first elected to this office, Malia was just ten and Sasha was seven. And they grow up too fast. Now Malia is going off to college … And I’m starting to choke up.”

Trudeau, himself the child of a political leader, included a lovely message to Sasha and Malia in his toast. 

It's also touching to meet Malia and Sasha, who are here at their first state dinner. And quite frankly, the memories for me of being a kid and not old enough to attend these kinds of events with my father almost makes me wish I had gone through my teenage years as a child of a world leader—but not quite. I admire you very much, both of you, for your extraordinary strength and your grace, through what is a remarkable childhood and young adulthood that will give you extraordinary strength and wisdom beyond your years for the rest of your life. The one thing that you have received from your extraordinary parents is the tools to be able to handle the challenges and the opportunities in front of you. So thank you very much for joining us tonight. 

He also made a stellar joke about Obama's grey hair:

This truly was the best-looking gala since the Oscars, and 1,000% more diverse.

In a video that's amassed over 70 million views on Facebook, artist Jody Steel used her skills to craft a commentary on body image. By erasing her own form and transforming it into a twisted stomach, Steel depicts the emotional and physical pressures many women feel to look a certain way. Aside from the message, Steel's body art is a tricky illusion—all the more impressive because Steel drew it herself on her own stomach. 

After the video—which is simply titled "Body Image"– gained attention, Steel commented on Facebook and explained herself a little more. 

For those who've implied that I'm saying you shouldn't still strive for being healthy, that's not true at all. I do still work towards goals, but not towards body image goals that are unrealistic for my body type. I'll never be able to have model long legs or large breasts genetically. But I've set realistic goals for myself and that's the point. I eat food that makes me happy and go to the gym a healthy amount. There's a balance. 

In another comment, Steel went into more detail about her relationship with her body.  

There have been times I've look in a mirror and wished for a perfect figure. No matter how much I went to the gym or how little I ate carbs and sugar, I still didn't see what I imagined was perfect. Once I realized that naturally, I don't have a coke bottle figure, or long and thin legs, I began to let go of the pressures I've felt to fulfill an image that our society has deemed the pinnacle of beauty. I like to adventure and I love to try new foods—especially if they're spicy. So let go of your demons and learn to enjoy the things you love in life. You can be healthy and happy. I've had this idea for a long time and I'm glad I finally did it!

With all the success the video has had, how could Steel not be pleased with her idea? 

Despite the requisite naysayers that come with a viral video, the majority of people have responded to Steel to let her know the video struck a chord with them.

A lot of commenters were simply awed with Steel's artistry. 

Given her talent, Steel probably does have really good Halloween costumes.

In a recent interview with The Sun, 29-year-old actress Lindsay Lohan claims that One Direction dreamboat Harry Styles once showed up unannounced to her hotel room for a late-night hookup. She says Styles appeared at her door at 2 a.m., but the former child star had just gotten home from an AA meeting and was watching a bad movie in bed. She turned the poor bloke down.

"He was in a suit. I said, 'Well, you’re very good looking—can I help you?'" Lohan says. "He was like, 'I’m Harry. Gavin and Michael sent me here.' I was like, 'I’m going to bed, but it was nice to meet you.'"

Lohan tells the tabloid that she didn’t recognize Styles: “I didn’t know it was him!” She adds: “It didn’t click who he was at the time. I told my sister the next day and she was like, ‘Wait, are you kidding me?! … Do you have his number? Can I have it?’”

Styles excused himself by saying his friends tricked him—they told him that Lohan was throwing a party in her room. Lesson: choose your friends wisely.

Lohan is currently living in London and confirmed that she is dating Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov. “I do have a boyfriend and he is a great guy,” she said. You're a great guy too, Styles. A great guy with a great tattoo.
