April 20: the unofficial birthday of the pot drug. Because it's 4/20, get it? Weed Day! (It's also Hitler's birthday, but that's not really as fun.) So in honor of weed's Christmas, here are 20 tweets about 4/20 that you'll probably forget before you've even finished reading them.

The amount of money you need to live comfortably in these cities is likely not the amount of money you have.

America's urban centers are the forefronts of culture, industry, and being stressed as hell about money. A personal finance website, GOBankingRates, took the time to figure out whether your big move into one of the United States' biggest cities will be a decadent, splendorous ascent to high-society or a gutter-dwelling, penny-pinching adventure of scraping by.

A family living very, very comfortably.

Using the 50-30-20 rule, which GOBankingRates explains as "50 percent of income covers necessities, 30 percent is for discretionary items, and 20 percent [for savings]", the financial site compared 75 of the most populated U.S. cities, "surveying dollar amounts of living expenses including rent, groceries, utilities, transportation and healthcare."

We've highlighted the cities with the largest deficit between what income a single person needs to earn to live comfortably and what their residents actually earn. Prepare to have your frugal heart broken to pieces.

Cleveland

Population: 389,521

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $42,589

Actual Median Income: $26,179

Living "comfortably" in Cleveland is a paradox anyway.

Detroit

Population: 680,250

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $42,772

Actual Median Income: $26,095

Yes, even Detroit is apparently too expensive for most people.

Chicago

Population: 2,722,389

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $68,671

Actual Median Income: $47,831

Unless you have the best Polish sausage recipe in the Windy City, it may be difficult to live like a king here.

Philadelphia

Population: 1,560,297

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $59,384

Actual Median Income: $37,460

Who needs financial stability when you can visit the Liberty Bell whenever you want?

New Orleans

Population: 384,320

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $60,782

Actual Median Income: $36,964

The never-ending crawfish buffet of life is just barely out of reach for so many who already reside in The Big Easy.

Los Angeles

Population: 3,928,864

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $74,371

Actual Median Income: $49,682

Everyone in LA's prettier than their bank accounts.

Boston

Population: 655,884

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $84,422

Actual Median Income: $54,485

Fortunately it's encouraged to drink off your fiscal struggles here.

New York

Population: 8,491,079

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $87,446

Actual Median Income: $52,737

Living comfortably in the Big Apple means having an apartment where you can't touch the walls on both sides at the same time.

San Francisco

Population: 852,469

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $119,570

Actual Median Income: $78,378

Unlike its many startups, most residents here don't have an angel investor backing them.

Miami

Population: 430,332

Amount Needed To Live Comfortably: $77,057

Actual Median Income: $30,858

At least you can wipe away your tears with a delicious Cubano.

Many apologies for destroying your dreams!

Girl buys a beautiful prom dress online, receives something more like a Halloween costume.

Tweeter and high schooler Juliet Jacoby is going to prom this year and bought her dress online, because that's how kids do shopping these days. One can only imagine the anticipation with which Jacoby awaited the arrival of her $149 red taffeta and lace gown, which she purchased from a seller on the online marketplace Wanelo

Nice, right? Well, either an evil fairy godmother cursed this dress en route or the seller was not accurately advertising the product. Because the dress that was delivered only barely resembles the one Jacoby bought.

https://twitter.com/jjacoby14/status/719521896526557184

Jacoby certainly wasn't going for a look that screams, "This is a cheap figure skater costume over which I've draped a plastic tablecloth to lengthen it." But that's what she got.

Jacoby is surprisingly light-hearted in her pictures, but this girl must've broken down in tears at some point, because this:

Twitter feels rather badly for young Jacoby.

Hopefully she can scrounge up something better, like a sheet with a belt around it or something.

Before you take another hit from your 4/20 bong, here's another ridiculous national holiday that will trip you out even more. This Wednesday is National Look Alike Day and folks are taking to Instagram to show the world just how famous-looking their faces are. So if you're scrolling through your feed and seeing double people, don't freak out. It's probably just ordinary people who happen to have celebrity doppelgangers

1. This Taylor Swift look alike made the wiser choice to not dye her hair platinum blonde.

2. Seriously, where are they making these T-Swizzle clones?

14 celebrities who have surprisingly good singing voices as if they weren't talented enough.

Usually, when a celebrity wants to try singing, it turns into an all out disaster (sorry, Lindsay Lohan). However, there are those rare exceptions when celebrities open their mouths to sing and little angels practically fly out. Here is a list of fourteen celebrities who have surprising good singing voices for you to tear apart in the comment section of this article. 

1. Michael Cera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBDbUVXXp-U

Michael Cera can sing more than just These Eyes. Even though he's usually seen mumbling on screen, his vocals aren't half bad. He independently released an album entitled "True That" in 2014. And it's as folksy and charming as you would expect. He's also got a formidable Spotify catalogue:

2. Chris Pine

Some guys have all the luck. Not only does Chris Pine look like a Disney Prince, he sings like one, too. He could sing the phonebook to you and make it entertaining. Not too far off from that, here he is singing school closings on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9FPKwPLZD0

His vocals were also featured in Into the Woods, a musical movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmixlJ79ZF0

A Star Trek Into Music.

3. Emilia Clark

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmQeN9h_BmA

Khaleesi's vocal abilities will make you want to say "Yaaaassss Queen!" Maybe the Game of Thrones writers can put in a song and dance number for Daenerys Targaryen on the show? Her vocals were briefly featured in the 2013 Broadway revival of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

4. Stephen Colbert (with some help from John Cryer)

Stephen Colbert tackled the complex music of Stephen Sondheim for this production of Company that sold out at the New York Philharmonic in 2011. Colbert put on a more serious face and a red turtleneck for the role of Harry. A whole bunch of other famous people who sing were also featured, including John Cryer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COxzO9iihvY

The show starred Neil Patrick Harris, who you probably already know likes to sing, as well as Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfvuk0o1xK0

5. Tom Hiddleston

The very British Tom Hiddleston played the very American singer/songwriter Hank Williams in the film I Saw the Light and got to do a lot singing because of it. This video, which was taken at the I Saw the Light premiere after party, shows how much country twang Hiddleston can pull of while singing. He also plays the guitar. No matter your sexual orientation, you may swoon after watching the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9DgMtEiZlE

He also picked up some yodeling skills while preparing for the role.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY4eW-pq0GA

6. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence sang the song "The Hanging Tree" for her film Mockingjay, and did a pretty killer job. Lawrence's singing voice is not too far off from her speaking voice—low and a little bit husky, and it worked perfectly for the somber song. She sold it so well that no one even caught on that she was absolutely terrified to sing in front of people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-Oi43EsQNU

The actress even said she broke down in tears before singing in public. She still hasn't heard herself sing the song, and claims that she plugged her ears for that part of the film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY6JcCDE5Zc

7. Seth MacFarlane

It is hard to imagine that the same man who voices Stewie and Peter Griffin can use his pipes to make beautiful music. Seth MacFarlane is a true crooner, and when he isn't making wildly popular cartoons for adults, he is doing other things like being nominated for Grammys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FhQ_mttmFs

He also has a solo album, No One Ever Tells You, that did not take home the Grammy this year, but is definitely worth a listen. Close your eyes and pretend you are listening to Sinatra. Then close your eyes and pretend that you're listening to Sinatra saying "Giggity giggity giggity."


8. Kate Winslet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vId_4r925o

Back in 2001, Kate Winslet lent her voice to an animated version of The Christmas Carol, and then also recorded a song for the movie called "What If." The song even made it to the #1 on the charts in Austria, Ireland and Belguim. Winslet has not recorded any music since.

9. Bruce Willis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDXkd2NyCCE

Bruce Willis is mostly known for blowing up stuff in action movies, but his voice is really what is "fire." Nice. Willis also plays the harmonica, essentially making him a one man band. If he wasn't so busy making Die Hard movies all the time, maybe he could have launched a successful music career. 

10. Jada Pinkett Smith

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIhN3qQQWGI

Wife. Mother. Front-woman of a rock band for fourteen years. Jada Pinkett Smith has been providing rock and roll vocals for her band Wicked Wisdom since 2002. She has even opened for Britney Spears, performed at Ozzfest, and toured with the heavy metal band Sevendust. Although the band hasn't put out new music in the past few years, they still have an active Facebook page.

11. Ryan Gosling 

Here is an obligatory video of Ryan Gosling singing as a child.

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

Gosling got his start on The Mickey Mouse Club (alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera), but has stuck mostly to movies since then. However, he did have indie rock band called "Dead Man's Bones" that was active from around 2008-2011. The band is made up of Gosling and Zach Shields, and their 2009 album also featured the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir.

12. Kerry Washington 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blC1m-s8cPg

When Jordan Sparks suggested a duet to Kerry Washington, she clearly had no idea that the Scandal star could do more than just hold her own next to the former American Idol contestant. The look on Jordan's face when Washington sings the first line is absolutely priceless.

13. Tom Felton

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IANd9Ieii1Q&ebc=ANyPxKqWpWelWwZJiRwxLUOabBfp_jJYPQpTIqnaNlXsSobxZa3xgEI8UeYohyRSvWudIXHX64XMpbLMY2yrl3I8x35WLn-PYw

Tom Felton, who played the blonde nightmare known as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter, shows off his softer side by singing and playing the guitar in these grainy, sepia-toned videos uploaded to YouTube. It is nice to pretend that when Malfoy was not busy terrorizing Harry Potter, he was in his dormitory learning how to play guitar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ys37GGhR_8

14. Hugh Laurie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HrmAgYE-6k

Sometimes it is hard to separate Hugh Laurie from his well-known character Doctor House, but you know the cranky doctor would never be caught dead singing. Sans limp and grumpy attitude, this Brit really loves to sing. He even made a couple of albums and went out on tour.

‘People’ shows restraint by only naming Jennifer Aniston ‘Most Beautiful Woman’ twice in 12 years.

On Wednesday morning, The Today Show revealed People's "Most Beautiful Woman" of 2016, and it's Jennifer Aniston. Wooooo! Crowd goes wild. Crowd stops to think about it. Crowd remembers, "Wasn't she already their 'Most Beautiful Woman,' like 10 years ago? Have they run out of beautiful women?"

Congratulations on winning People's "Most Likely To Never Change Her Hair."

The crowd is correct (and completely made up)—Jennifer Aniston was People's Most Beautiful Woman in 2004. Sure, she's beautiful, but come on, People, aren't there any other women you'd maybe like to feature? Ones that aren't quite so…Jennifer Aniston? It's true that she's aging spectacularly, in that she isn't really aging at all, but choosing her just feels so uninspired, and uninspiring. On the one hand, they've chosen a woman who's almost 50 years old, which is great. On the other, it's still Jennifer Aniston, the Beige Queen of Boringville.

In People's accompanying interview, the 47-year-old says that she was "very, very flattered," (two verys, so you know it's real) and that "There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment." According to People, "she's learned to embrace her appearance over the years" and "insists she feels her best when she's healthy and strong." Okay, hold up. "Learned to embrace her appearance"? The appearance that has earned her millions of dollars and a lifetime of fame? That one? That's what she's "learned to embrace"? That's like "learning to embrace" winning the lottery. And why is she insisting that she feels good when she's healthy? Is anyone challenging that statement? "No, Jennifer, don't lie—you totally feel your best when you're sick and weak." So many questions, so few answers. The only thing anyone knows for sure is that yes, Aniston is beautiful, and no, she's not ever going to change her hairstyle ever again.


Britney Spears embarrasses the hell out of her sons on Instagram, and you will love her for it.

Britney Spears may be adored by the public for her legendary abs and weird-ass Instagram, but she can still mortify her sons in the most mom-like way possible. She took an Instagram video showing her grooving in the car to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel"—with her horrified sons in the backseat. Don't worry, she wasn't driving.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BEZ_XKPm8Mq/

At least one of her sons later got into it, putting his hat over his eye in a very Jackson-like way. Though maybe it was just to shield him from all the mom-ness happening in the front seat.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BEaFqh1G8Fe/?taken-by=britneyspears

As an added bonus, here's a picture from earlier that day. You'll recognize the sons' expressions from every time your mother asked you to smile while you were being a little brat.

Some things, evidentially, are universal. 

Artist that painted Trump nude with serious shrinkage threatened with serious lawsuit.

In February, artist Illma Gore got a huge reception for her painting of a nude Donald Trump with a very small penis, and now Trump and his lawyers are threatening to sue her. The image went viral after she posted it, probably due to Trump's own frantic defense of the size of his hands and manhood. The suit's claims are based on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and Trump's lawyers are trying to block Gore from making any profit from Trump's likeness. Because of the lawsuit threats, she is unable to sell the painting in America, and it is often removed from social media sites, including being de-listed from eBay. In the end, experts expect Trump to lose because he is a political public figure, and one of the things that makes America so great is that political speech (which this painting definitely is) is guaranteed maximum protection under the First Amendment.

The Maddox Gallery in London currently has her painting on display, and it has attracted purchase offers of over $100,000. Certainly, anyone else who painted Trump with a tiny peen must be super jealous of that throbbing figure.

Here's her original painting, censored so you don't have nightmares:

Don't touch that logo, Drumpf.

Here's Gore posing with her masterpiece at the gallery:

She told the New York Daily News that she has no intention of backing down, and even has another Trump painting in the works. Maybe it will reveal those sweet man boobs hiding behind his arms.

It's no surprise that aspiring, struggling actors often appear on game shows. Most of those shows tape in L.A., and they'll use anyone who knows how to appear engaging on TV. But the actors on this list probably didn't expect that these daytime TV appearances would live forever thanks to YouTube. Oops.

6. Vanna White has had the same job, turning letters on Wheel of Fortune, for more than 30 years. It is a world from which she cannot escape, as evidenced by this 1980 clip of her coming on down to The Price is Right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_-ym_h5a34

Snapchat pisses off normally mellow stoners with offensive Bob Marley 4/20 filter.

Snapchat introduced a Bob Marley filter for 4/20 that allows users to change their face to look kind of like the legendary musician and Rastafarian. Some people feel the filter is an offensive form of blackface, while others are simply mad that his legacy has been reduced to being some sort of patron saint for stoners.

https://twitter.com/jackquemi/status/722735264574148608

The negative reactions to the filter were along these lines:

https://twitter.com/faaaadumo/status/722776926088105984https://twitter.com/ThatDudeMCFLY/status/722777873950449664

And here's the filter in action:

One reason true fans of Marley might get upset is because people trivially use the filter like they would any other Snapchat feature. Like this woman who used the filter on her kid at IHOP:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BEbKBqVmVDN/?taken-by=dianemarie1206

Or any other random user that simply quotes a Bob Marley song: 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BEbM01Hx5vG/?tagged=bobmarley

There are so many better Snapchat filters to use that would be more fun on 4/20. Here's one that makes you look like Boy George or Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs:

The safe bet is to celebrate Bob Marley by listening to his music, and stick to using Snapchat for weird face swaps.

At some sports thing between the Boston ones and Atlanta guys on Tuesday night, the Kiss Cam set its sights on a couple that was all too pleased with the attention they were getting. But in truth, no one cared for them: the cheers rippling through the audience (that probably happened) were for Pizza Girl, and no one else.

Real Housewife Erika Jayne released a music video to politely clarify ‘How Many F***s’ she gives.

On top of being a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, 44-year-old Erika Jayne also makes music concerning her unwillingness to give a hoot about anything. This solipsistic exercise in posing erotically on ATVs while rapping about how little she cares is certainly worth watching if that kind of thing appeals to you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXCLDj9tBBM

'How Many F**ks?' is best described as a Barbie commercial that had a stroke, combined with a Nikki Minaj song that the record company had to axe because it caused wild animals to stampede headfirst into traffic—which is not necessarily a bad thing! Any music that makes you to feel something, even violent nausea or an oncoming seizure, is effective songwriting.

James Franco clarifies his sexuality in his usual inscrutable way: "Yeah, I’m a little gay."

James Franco is sick of everyone speculating about his sexuality, and decided to "come out" as "a little gay" in an interview withNew York Magazine to once again throw those who are itching to know who he prefers to sleep with off his trail. This isn't the first time (and it probably won't be the last time) Franco talks about his sexual preferences. Last year, in an interview he had with himself, he said that he is "gay in his art and straight in his life", which makes you think he may not know what "sexual orientation" even means.

We all know Franco just wants to have sex with himself, anyway.

In the interview with New York Magazine, Franco stated again that he is "gay in his work," and that his perceived gayness is "a little bit of a persona." He spoke more on his sexual fluidity and went on to say:

There is a bit of overfocusing on my sexuality, both by the straight press and the gay press, and so the first question is why do they care? Well, because I’m a celebrity, so I guess they care who I’m having sex with. But if your definition of gay and straight is who I sleep with, then I guess you could say I’m a gay cock tease. It’s where my allegiance lies, where my sensibilities lie, how I define myself. Yeah, I’m a little gay, and there’s a gay James.

Well that clears up absolutely nothing. The guy is right, though. There are more important things to worry about than who Franco likes to have sex with.

The Brickyard, a bar in England, is all too aware that Tinder dates don't necessarily go as planned. The St Albans bar recently posted a message in their women's bathroom giving customers an escape plan if the date is going poorly.

Tinder date gone wrong?

Doesn't look like his picture, or just plain weird?

If you're on an date and it's not going well, come to the bar and ask for Rachelle or Jennifer and we'll get you out it and/or get you a taxi. 

Your safety is our highest priority.

If anyone is bothering you or making you feel uncomfortable please tell us. We will discreetly move them away, and if necessary ask them to leave.

the Brickyard is safe and fun, we want you to enjoy your time here. Talk to us and we'll sore it out :)

The bar's owner, James Hanning, told Mashable that the sign “came about because two different women asked two different managers if men they were with looked like photos they had on their smartphones." Safe to guess that no, those men did not look like their pictures.

“They were light-hearted conversations," Hanning said, "but we realized there was a potential for discomfort and thought that a discreet sign would help give dates the confidence to ask for assistance if things weren’t going well.”

After a photo of the sign made it online, people shared their hearty approval.

A fair number of people, though, pointed out that women can be creeps, too.

 As such, the men are also in on the secret escape plan.

Now everyone can flee their dates.

James Corden won't let Gwyneth Paltrow off the hook for killing bees as part of her beauty routine.

Gwyneth Paltrow's beauty blog, GOOP, is groundbreaking in the ways it can convince her to get stung by bees on purpose. During an appearance on The Late Late Show, James Corden and Girls' Andrew Rannells questioned the ancient remedy of bee stings that Paltrow had tested on herself, since she's evidently so desperate to stave off the aging process she'll volunteer for homeopathic torture.

Paltrow also revealed that she had no idea bees die after they sting something, not that another being's life would take precedent over GOOP's most cherished skin endorsement.

A dead bee makes a pretty Gwyneth.

So don't think of the following scene as Nic Cage being attacked by bees. Rather, think of it as hundreds of bees dying to make his skin more beautiful.

These hearts are the same color. Fair warning, trying to solve this illusion will hurt your eyes.

Contrary to the great dress debate of '15, everyone should see orange and purple hearts when looking at this image (unless you're colorblind, sorry).

Ugly and slightly nauseating, right? The hearts look a little odd because a bunch of stripes are running through them and tricking your mind into seeing something that isn't actually there: the different colors. In truth, the hearts are the same color but blue and green stripes create the illusion of purple and orange, respectively.

Why does your mind interpret the hearts as a false color? This video from Bite Size Pysch explains it all.

Long story short, the hearts are fuchsia. Zooming in painfully close to the hearts will reveal this.

Here's the "purple" heart:

Here's the "orange" heart: 

Nothing is as it seems.
