'SNL' takes on people fighting for the right to deny gays wedding cake in 'God is a Boob Man.'
With the gay agenda threatening to deny Americans their basic right to deny other people their basic rights, it's a tough time to be a jerk religious businessperson trying to operate a religious cash register. SNL parodied the wedding-cake rhetoric of the "religious freedom" movement (seriously, the GOP is really throwing bakers under the bus by always using them as the example) and folks like Kim Davis with this trailer for this inspirational movie about a rebellious cake-maker. Vanessa Bayer plays a woman on the brave mission to prove that God—the omnipotent, incorporeal deity who created the entire universe and all the straight and gay things in it—is in fact a heterosexual man. A heterosexual man who cares a lot about wedding cake. You know, a normal heterosexual man.
Asserting God's identity as a Boob Man is also a super-subtle Seinfeld reference in the episode hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, because God might also be an Assman.

Let Kate McKinnon, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Nick Jonas sell you jewelry you can see from space.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus hosted SNL on April 16, and in this bling-heavy sketch, took the show from Manhattan over to Long Island to pitch ludicrous jewelry with Kate McKinnon, who reprised her Long Island Medium accent. Flanking Nick Jonas' marvelous biceps (which have reached an acceptable age for ogling) both actresses made the pitch for yuge jewelry, because "What's the point of wearing jewelry if you can't see it from space?" More importantly, what's the point of jewelry if it's not draped on Nick Jonas' super hot bod?

Man bravely risks being cursed by ancient statues to get these hilarious museum face swaps.
You may think face swaps are a just a silly toy for millennial amusement, but "JakeMarshall91" (let's not make any assumptions about what his name might be) used his phone to get inside history at the British Museum in London like never before. Hanging out among the statues, Jake face swapped with several Egyptian pharoahs, some Greeks, Louis XIV, and more. By far the most amusing part of this is that the statues' mouths form smiles to match Jake's, letting you see them in a whole new way.
Some people questioned whether Jake was really getting anything out of the trip if he was just face swapping. He responded, "I can confirm that it is the British Museum in London. I can also confirm I did not just spend my time taking photos of myself, and did in fact learn and take in all of the exhibits whilst there."
Can you identify the origins of these? If not, maybe you should visit a museum yourself soon (and take some funny pictures while you're there).

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is banging all the young male help on 'SNL,' puts way too much thought into it.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus hosted SNL on April 16, appearing as Elaine Benes during the show's version of the Brooklyn Democratic Debate, as well as in this digital short as a housewife who struggles to break off her fling with the pool boy Chad. She's the stereotypical high-achieving suburban mom, he's the stereotypical dumbass pool boy. They could never work...or could they? It's up in the air until a very muscular Nick Jonas turns up on the scene. One thing is for sure: Julia Louis-Dreyfus is maybe the only actor who will make you like the line "I'm gonna f*** that kid."

This fascinating look at TV shows' first and final shots side-by-side may finally give you closure.
Video editor Celia Gómez created this compilation of the first and final shots of some of the best TV shows in recent times, and it's a fascinating look at both the progression of those shows and the conscious creative decisions that went into them. Many of the final shots are very careful allusions to the opening shots; others just emphasize how far the plot and its characters have come. Be warned, even though the clips are too short to really spoil anything, you will see the last shot of the following series: Hannibal, Twin Peaks, American Horror Story, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, The Sopranos, Californication, The Wire, Frasier, Oz, The Newsroom, Carnivale, Lost, Rome, Six Feet Under, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, and Friends. Which ones did you think did the best job of bringing everything full circle?

Mom & dad geese get goslings to jump off an 8-foot roof, which is basically the opposite of human parenting.
As a human parent, one of the most important things you spend your time doing is urging your children not to plummet several times their body height onto hard surfaces below—which is exactly the opposite challenge faced by these Canadian geese parents. They must have made their nest on top of this car port roof, because otherwise there's no good explanation as to how a whole family of goslings got up there. As dangerous as it looks however, the geese parents sit patiently on the ground honking at their offspring until they all plummet flapping to the ground, making a scary-sounding splat upon landing. Don't worry, though, they're fine. It's all part of the learning process.

John Legend, Chrissy Teigen welcome their new baby, give her a unique-but-not-too-unique name.
Even in an age of social media saturation, celebrity couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have somehow managed to keep the saga of her in-vitro fertilization, gender selection and pregnancy interesting—as well as their romance and her nipples—and now it's come to fruition with the arrival of their baby girl. Chrissy gave birth on Thursday, although she waited until April 17 to reveal more details to the world, revealing her daughter's unusual-but-not-too-unusual name on Instagram:
Luna Simone Stephens! Proud papa John followed up on Twitter soon after.
Congrats to both new parents. Just don't forget about us while you're busy raising your kid.

Taylor Swift's reaction to bf Calvin Harris performing with Rihanna is the opposite of jealousy.
A newly bleached blond Taylor Swift is having a blast at Coachella, according to her Instagrams. Late Sunday night, the singer posted a video of herself and a lot of other happy fans in the audience watching her boyfriend Calvin Harris perform with Rihanna on her song "We Fell In Love" at the California music festival this past weekend.
She captioned the video "I'll NEVER forget this moment. @badgalriri @calvinharris #coachella" All right, settle down, Taylor, we get it, you're having fun.
On Friday, Swift posted a picture of herself with bleach blond hair and captioned that one "BLEACHELLA."
The confusing thing is, that looks a lot like the hair she has on the cover of the May issue of Vogue. But that photoshoot had to have taken place a while ago, and Swift's definitely been seen with her regular darker blond hair at the iHeartRadio Music Awards show on April 3. So what does that mean for her hair in the cover picture? Is that Photoshop, or a wig? These are important questions that deserve answers.

Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio hung out at Coachella in very big sunglasses. That's proof they're dating, right?
Famous and attractive humans Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio are fueling the rumor that they're hooking up, or are at least spend time together, after the pair stood next to each other at Coachella. Well, in this photo, the pair is doing more than simply standing in proximity at the Neon Carnival after-party, as Cosmopolitan reported. Leo is saying something to Rihanna.
Possible phrases Leo is sultrily shouting into his friend RiRi's ears over the sound of whatever trendy music is playing:
- "I'm an Academy Award winner."
- "These sunglasses we're wearing are a great disguise."
- "Sorry, even though we're good friends, you're not allowed to join the Pussy Posse. We voted on it."
Sorry Cosmo, there's still no answer to the question, "What does it mean?!" The dating rumors will have to remain rumors.
Aside from standing in the crowd, Rihanna performed over the weekend at the celebrity-fest known as Coachella.
Looks like she's set to take flight with those fringy wings.

John Oliver had to team up with Sesame Street to battle lead poisoning because the government won't.
Last Week Tonight and Sesame Street, which are soon to be sister programs on HBO, joined forces to provide delightfully entertaining coverage of a scary topic: lead poisoning. As John Oliver points out, congress is only willing to allocate slightly more money than Ride Along 2made in theaters this year to combat the problem, which should make you feel even worse for seeing that movie.
The recent controversy in Flint, Michigan is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of rampant lead poisoning and the lack of government action to prevent it.
As it turns out, Sesame Street was far more prescient about the topic than the lawmakers crying foul about Flint who still voted to reduce funding for lead abatement programs.
If you're sad about being able to trust singing puppets more than U.S. politicians, cheer up with Sesame Street's original Lead Poisoning Prevention Project from 1996, below:

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard gave a very serious apology for smuggling their Yorkies into Australia.
On Monday, Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard issued avery serious and somewhat strange apology for smuggling their two Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, into Australia without declaring them in April 2015. Heard also pleaded guilty in court to making a false statement on her immigration card about the dogs, for which the Australian judge sentenced her to a one-month good behavior bond with no conviction recorded; if she breaks the bond she has to pay A$1,000 (that's around $770 USD, which Amber Heard probably has in her change purse). So, no more dog smuggling for you, missy!
In the slightly tongue-in-cheek apology from the couple, released by Australian authorities today, Depp and Heard were contrite. "Australia is free of many pests and diseases that are commonplace around the world. That is why Australia has to have such strong biosecurity laws," Heard states.
Depp takes over, saying in a somber voice, "And Australians are just as unique, both warm and direct. When you disrespect Australian law, they will tell you firmly."
At the end of the video, Heard apologizes for not declaring Pistol and Boo when she arrived in the country by private jet. To which Depp adds, "Declare everything when you enter Australia. Thanks."
In case this is all news to you, here's a quick recap: In April, Australian politician Barnaby Joyce threatened to have the dogs put to sleep if they weren't removed from the country within 72 hours ("It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States," were his actual words). Depp and Heard got the dogs out of the country before the deadline, but in July, Heard was charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into the country and one count of producing a false document.
There was NO way Australia was going to let some hotshot celebrities bring their little hotshot celebrity dogs into their country on the sly. In Australia, dogs that size only exist as coyote bait or meals for spiders. Let that be a lesson to you, people traveling to Australia: take Depp's advice and declare everything. Everything. Your deodorant, your hairbrush, your "I'm With Stupid" t-shirt, those few sticks of gum in your purse, and any aspirin you may accidentally have smuggled in your pockets. But most of all, remember to declare your love for Australia. And stay out of trouble, dammit.

Caitlyn Jenner suggests that maybe she and Kris Jenner renew their ratings one day with new wedding vows.
On Sunday's episode of I am Cait, former couple Caitlyn and Kris Jenner—who split up in 2013—sat down to discuss the future of their relationship, and it looks like there is a slim chance that Mrs. and Mrs. Jenner may renew their vows. Hey, with all the other crazy shit that has gone on within this family, why not? Although Caitlyn suggests the vow renewal in a semi-joking tone, with these two, you can almost see them going through with it just for the ratings.
Caitlyn: Maybe at some point we'll renew our vows.
Kris: What? Do I get another diamond?
Caitlyn: I don't want you to get your hopes up. I'll need a diamond too.
Caitlyn also talked to Kris about changing her name and gender on her license and birth certificate. With the way Kris handles the news, it is unlikely they will see the proposed vow renewal come to fruition.

Gay couple gets cruel RSVP that's inspiring them to have a very fun wedding.
An anonymous person sent a hate-filled RSVP to Keith Alan and Chad Michael of Ohio regarding the couple's upcoming May wedding, but joke's on that person because this wedding is going to be great.
According to Cleveland 19, the couple received an unsigned, typed note after sending out invites and only 30 days before the big event.
Keith and Chad—who have been together for nine years—aren't sure who sent the note. "I guess we thought we knew the people that were coming and we didn't know that well," Keith said. While this one person is sending them lots of hate, the majority of their other guests have openly showered them with love in the wake of the RSVP, the couple said.
And the affianced pair isn't letting the letter bother them. "This letter we received yesterday is more of a reason to move forward with it. Love will win in the end, that's what it comes down to," Chad said. "I never even thought about canceling and quite frankly, other than our initial shock of the letter this made us both want to do it more," Keith said.
Already, their wedding, according to Cosmopolitan, included hand-made presents for guests—how can it get sweeter? Plus, their wedding is on private property so no unwelcome protestors can drop by. It's going to be a good time.
