Here's the pic, in which Perry looks about as amused as his character Chandler did when Joey dragged him around London (to be fair, LeBlanc had a typo in the play title, although how could Perry have known that in advance?):
Comedian Beth Newell is the founder and editor the very funny humor website Reductress. But she's also a mom, and that got her the attention of some Internet trolls (including The Daily Mail, the official troll digest) after she tweeted the following birth announcement:
.@Honda, earlier today I gave birth to my daughter in the back of a Honda Fit. It is a mess. Can I have a free car? pic.twitter.com/Iicf8NaS8R
Newell, like most comedians, mostly uses Twitter to lob jokes at the digital abyss. They might not be to your taste—maybe you think that something is only funny if it's said right after the phrase "you might be a redneck"—but they're definitely jokes. Some examples:
Gonna let my nanny take my kid to work with her today.
People do often confuse satire for real. Even though she really did give birth in her car, she is not seriously asking for a new car. Remember that before you start randomly making fun of a woman on Twitter, okay?
Oh, and congrats, Beth, from everyone at Someecards! Yes, you can have a free card.
With the news that both Frozen 2 and a Broadway adaptation of the O.G. Frozen are in production, a high schooler named Alexis Isabel quickly started a global movement for queer representation in kids' movies with the hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend.
Sunday's Keeping Up With The Kardashianspremiere wasn't exactly the biggest television event of the night (hey Melisandre), but it did provide a window into a pretty juicy war of a different kind: Khloé Kardashian vs. Caitlyn Jenner. It's not exactly Lannisters vs. Starks, but maybe it's equivalent to a particularly heated Kingsmoot? Anyway: Khloé said last night that she was "done" with Caitlyn, leading to a huge fight that Kris Jenner had to smooth over.
The fight began after Khloé told Howard Stern earlier this year that she felt betrayed by Caitlyn because "business people" knew that she was a trans woman before any she did. Caitlyn responded by sending the youngest Kardashian woman several angry texts about the interview, so Kardashian vented to her mom, Kris:
I said, 'You slaughtered my mother and you have the nerve to say, 'What happened to family sticking together?' I said, 'You jumped that ship as soon as you did Diane Sawyer and attacked my mom,' and instead, [she] tells me to 'get a life' and to 'shut up,' and I'm like, 'You shut up and you get a fucking life.' [...]
She can tell me to fuck off all she wants. I don't have a relationship with her. I'm done.
Kris Jenner was able to get both sides to forgive each other, thank God. It's hard to know what side to take here, because transitioning is hard and Jenner seems to be trying to handle it gracefully, but Khloé's feelings of estrangement from her former stepfather are valid. On the other hand, they're both Kardashian-Jenners, so it's equally valid to despise both of them and this entire family and the fact that you spent a few minutes of your life reading about them. Really, let yourself feel that self-loathing, reader, it's good for you.
A police officer with a dastardly good-looking mustache adopted an adorable orange tabby kitten that was found under a dumpster by another officer. The cop, who goes by BaconOpinion on Reddit and DonutOperator on Instagram (this is a cop can probably take a pig joke) posted a photo of the kitten with the caption, “my new partner is kind of a puss.”
This selfie went viral because it's so visually arresting.

The cop named the kitten “Squirt” because he ”squirted yellow shit all over the place when we brought him home,” the officer wrote on Reddit. After that incident, no other name is worthy. Brilliant name, Mr. Cop. Brilliant name.
The police officer also said that he has other cats at home. One of his cats, Toothless, just started nursing. This is perfect timing for the young Squirt, who is still weaning.
Squirt and his new momma, Toothless.
Folks showed their support of the cop's new adoptee in the comments. As one adorer wrote: "Thanks for saving the little guy!" Another dude quipped: "Please make sure and hide him in your bulletproof vest if things get shooty."
Some talented Redditor also created this badass black and white illustration of the cop and Squirt.
Besties forever.
In response to the illustration, the cop wrote: "That is the coolest fucking thing that I have ever seen. Thank you so much!" He even offered to give the artist money.
No word yet if money was exchanged between the cop and the artist. One thing's for sure, however—Squirt is now in good hands.
The New York Times published terrifying news today for everyone who doesn't want to be fat: "there is a weight your body will always fight to defend." This has always been a popular theory, but now science is even more certain, thanks to a group of people whose weight yo-yo'ed in front of our eyes: Biggest Loser contestants.
According to the article, almost all 16 of The Biggest Loser's season 8 contestants have regained the weight they lost on the show. Some of them weigh even more than they started.
A sad defeat? Yes. But for the New York Times, it is even more than that. Per the article, "their experiences, while a bitter personal disappointment, have been a gift to science."
A more detailed breakdown of how your body breaks down will be published today in the journal Obesity, but as it was summarized by the NYT article:
Dieters are at the mercy of their own bodies, which muster hormones and an altered metabolic rate to pull them back to their old weights, whether that is hundreds of pounds more or that extra 10 or 15 that many people are trying to keep off.
Millions of viewers watched these poor guinea pigs sweat over boot camp obstacle courses and burn their bellies against climbing ropes in hopes of achieving the rare and glorious dream of fitness. But when no one was watching, they slowly put it back on as their bodies defiantly crept back to their pre-ordained state of obesity.
And now we all know we're trapped by our mortal vessels. Thank you for your sacrifice, Big Losers, for you have shown us that there is no hope. (Well, actually, science also says that if you keep weight off for six months, your body accepts that as a "new normal." But six months?!?!)
Every year, celebrities and fashionistas get dolled up and make a splash at the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art's annual Gala. This year's theme was "Manus x Machina," or in other words, Tin Man chic. From Kanye West's blue contacts to Beyoncé's speckled spectacle of a gown, Twitter was consumed by hot takes. Here are the 33 funniest reactions to the Met Gala on social media:
Let designer and model Kay Pike be your inspiration on those days where you feel too lazy to even run a comb through your hair in the morning. For the past few months, Pike has been doing live streams on Twitch of her body paint transformations into various characters. Inspired by the new Batman Vs. Superman movie, she recently did a fifteen-hour live-stream of her painting herself into the perfect Superman. If you don't have fifteen hours to spare today, she also made the entire video into a time lapse.

This is what I painted last time on https://www.twitch.tv/kaypikefashion and I am painting again today.
This project marked a very emotional point in my life. I believe forever now, whatever your dreams are in life you must Dream Big

She uses classic comic book shading styles to transform herself into all different heroes and villains, and it results in freaky two-dimensional result that looks like the characters jumped off the page. Also, her videos are a lot more fun to watch than some boring contouring tutorial.
Residents of Chicago have lived for so long with an outdated Aloha movie billboard in Logan Square that they've broken down and accepted the ad for the slightly racist, definitely bad Cameron Crowe film as part of the community. The 2015 film, which Hollywood Reporter writer Sheri Linden described as having the "awkward feel of a repository for everything but the kitchen sink," currently boasts a 19-percent favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite premiering and tanking in spring of 2015, a giant billboard for the film remains in Logan Square. Inevitably, to honor the sight that Logan Square residents have to see every day, someone began a Tumblr for the billboard. The Tumblr consists of a image asking the question, "Is The Poster For The Movie Aloha Still On that Billboard in Logan Square?"
Every Tumblr entry simply reads, "Yes." Because the poster is still there.
One year after the film's May 29 release, denizens of Logan Square are preparing to celebrate the old billboard, reports Chicagoist. A L O H A [one year later], is the name of the Facebook event scheduled for May 29.
The details are as such:
- Bring a covert tiki drink or two - Wear a tropical-print lQQk - Eat snacks - Honor the anniversary of the longest movie marketing campaign ever
Sounds like a rager.
"We, as many Logan Square residents, have been perplexed as to why this billboard is still up," event co-creator Brian Solem said.
Big shoutout to the ten month old "Aloha" billboard in Logan Square. Stay strong, friend pic.twitter.com/vNOSTsZrdf
Chicagoist suggested the mock fondness for the billboard is related to a dispute over the empty billboards below the Aloha poster. Cornell Bar, real name of the event's other co-creator, said the cause for the event is otherwise.
“We want people to come out into the square and enjoy each other’s company,” he said. “If this silly billboard is the thing that gets people out into the world to experience each other together, that’s great.”
And if you still haven't seen Aloha...
Then you can probably keep living without having watched it.
Even if you're a rich, attractive, and famous person, you can get roped into normal-people things like serving as a bridesmaid or maid of honor. For proof that even these demigods must serve mortal functions, check out these 10 female celebrities who deigned to be in their non-famous friends' wedding parties.
Each of these ladies put on a fancy dress to wish their friends good luck as they entered holy matrimony (and then, in the case of Rihanna, lighted up in celebration). Each of them probably got more eyeballs than the bride. Check out these 10 famous women as they tried and failed to let someone else take the spotlight for a few hours.
1. Rihanna
In 2015, Rihanna donned a lovely lilac dress to serve as her assistant Jennifer Rosales' bridesmaid at a Hawaii wedding. RiRi managed to pose like an average person in one photo.
After serving as the bridesmaid to her brother Caleb's bride Kerry Nixon in 2011, Knightley declared herself "the worst bridesmaid in the entire world."
Knightley's offenses against the tradition included spilling drinks and curry on her dress, and then ripping the dress while in the bathroom. Eh, at least the bride's dress was fine.
3. Lena Dunham, 2016
For her friend Audrey Gelman's 2016 wedding, Dunham zipped up a very, very sparkly J. Crew skirt.

A few years earlier in 2013, Lady Gaga wore another giant thing—this time identifiable as a flower on her head—as part of her bridesmaid ensemble for the wedding of her friend Bo O'Connor.

5. Kirsten Dunst
When serving as maid of honor, notably stylish actress Kirsten Dunst wore an art-deco type dress to her friend's 2012 wedding. She also wore a flower crown, because she's starred in Sofia Coppola movies.
While fulfilling her duties as a maid of honor for Maack, Swift was simultaneously doing an interview with Vogue, which is a lot cooler than getting married.
When getting married to blonde person James Cook in 2014, model Poppy Delevingne enlisted her younger sister Cara Delevingne as her maid of honor. Both wore white, not because Delevingne wanted to outdo her sister, but because British people do that.
The occasion for this was her brother Blaine's wedding to Carson Massler, for whom Lawrence donned a matching wedding dress with a bunch of other women.
Years later, people will look back at Kate Middleton and Prince William's 2011 wedding and say, "Wow, look at the butt." Then someone else will say, "I don't see anything," because Pippa's butt isn't that big.
Beyoncé took a quick break from her Formation World Tour to attend the annual Met Gala in New York City on Monday night. The 34-year-old wore a peachy-salmon colored latex-like Givenchy gown which received some, um, opinions on Twitter when she walked the event's red carpet.
Each pearl on her dress is rumored to be worth $8,000. EACH. ONE.
Redditor J_tt shared a Facebook message exchange that is more or less a teen horror film unrolling before your very eyes. It all begins when someone, call that person Luke, messages someone else (who for this purpose shall be called Sam). Luke asks Sam out, but it turns out there's a third player involved: Drew, a guy who thinks he's helping out his friend Luke by asking a question Luke is too afraid to ask himself. Neither Drew nor Luke come out of this conversation looking very date-able.
Sam is likely referring to Garry Disher's The Divine Wind. The synopsis from Goodreads is as such:
On the eve of WWII, suspicion runs rampant in Hartley Penrose's small town. Even though they've done nothing wrong, the town is turning against its native Japanese residents - including Mitsy Sennosuke, the girl Hart loves despite himself. The result is a wrenching, unforgettable story of romance, betrayal, and the turmoils that rock both the world and the heart.
That plot summary's almost as dramatic as what occurred in this Facebook exchange, which could be fake or could've happened. All it takes is for someone to step out of the room with their phone and leave their friend alone with the computer they're still logged into Facebook on.
Ducks can be vicious little bastards, although in this case it's actually a goose. A little girl named Summer found that out the hard way, and has since skyrocketed across the Internet after her kind older sister Stevieshared the attack with the world. Over 35,000 people have retweeted the images as of this article's publishing.
Summer got attacked by a duck today & the pictures our neighbor got of it happening make me laugh so hard pic.twitter.com/GEJuGwPy24
Stevie later went on to clarify why no one was rushing to help her sister, and the fact that it's not a duck—but rather an Egyptian goose. And also whether Summer is currently being digested by said Egyptian goose.
@maddielane920 she's laughing so I guess it's fine if we laugh 😂😂😂😭😭
Stevie, it's very important to know your birds. Hit your local library's avian section, pronto. Though not all geese are "blood-thirsty killers," the following gifs probably won't convince you otherwise.
Ted Cruz wants to spank a lot of people, but at the top of his list is probably Kevin Paul Nichols, the devilish college student who just served Cruz some middle-school humiliation by withdrawing a handshake at the last second. The only presidential candidate with a vice presidential suggestion (you couldn't call her a nominee) was stumping for votes in Indiana when he received this very immature—but amusing for onlookers—snub. Ted's probably already found a way to compare him to the childishness of The Donald and The Media Elites and The Washington Cartel (i.e. the endless list of coworkers who despise him), but in the meantime, here's a man who thinks he should rule the world being punked by some twerp:
Someone broke into a safe inreality star Blac Chyna's Los Angeles home over the weekend and made off with $200,000 in cash and jewelry. TMZ reports that she suspects it was an inside job, since there were no signs of forced entry, and because few people knew about the safe. Perhaps current or former members of her inner circle suspected she had lots of cash and treasure on hand because of videos like this one, in which fiance Rob Kardashian literally throws stacks of cash at her ass:

There have been no arrests or suspects announced. If someone acquainted with her is responsible, it should be simple for her to make a short list of ex-friends for the police.
The Met Gala is revered as fashion's biggest night, a night to show off beauty and elaborate gowns without even having to sit through a tedious awards show. The stars showed up, committing so hard to the glitz and glamour that some even sustained wounds. But to show us that they are in fact still human, celebrities shared their getting-ready rituals and casual selfies on social media, to try and keep up a chill vibe. Here are some of the finest examples of stars—who just so happen to be at the Met Gala—being just like us.
