George Zimmerman is selling the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin. He's selling it on a gun auction website, and the bidding starts at $5,000. It's not clear whether or not there have been any serious bidders. What is clear is that many people had a few words for Zimmerman and ideas for him and his auction. None of them are positive. Hell hath no fury like the Internet reacting to a news story like this. Here are the funniest reactions on social media to Zimmerman's gun auction:

Patrick Stewart would pay a voter $5 not to vote for Trump. How can you get in on that cash?

On top of dreading high levels of humidity, Sir Patrick Stewart is also sweating over a potential Donald Trump presidency. The former Star Trek actor recently shared a photo on Twitter of a man auctioning off the vote that our nation's Founding Fathers fought and died for his right to have. It clearly pleased Stewart, who was apparently cursing the amount of water vapor in the air prior to his encounter with this politically-frivolous sign-wielder.

One could interpret this as Stewart implicitly stating his negative opinion of Donald Trump, though it could just as easily mean he'll give you $5 to make him think about anything other than the humidity. Like baked beans. He loves those.

Relax, Sir Patrick. Your baked beans and fried bread have arrived to distract you from the water vapor.

Send that $5 over anytime.  

Caitlyn Jenner forcefully responds to anyone reporting she may reverse her transition.

Last year, Caitlyn Jenner made us forget about the rest of her attention-hungry family for a few months when she transitioned from male to female, but one source is now reporting that she may be regretting the choice. Well, you've already made it to this article, so buckle up and get ready for some more confusing Kardashian-related drama.

The claim comes from Kardashian biographer Ian Halperin (yeah, there is someone whose job it is to write about the Kardashians, and it isn't just every site on the Internet) who wrote the book, "Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family."

If you cringed at the Kardashians being called "America's royal family," you are not alone. Anyway, Halperin told The Wrap that while researching for his book, multiple sources told him that Caitlyn had been miserable for months and has considered transitioning back to living as a man. 

Here is what one of the alleged sources had to say, to Halperin:

It hasn't been easy for Caitlyn, it's been very hard. She's thrilled she has raised awareness about how transgender people have long been discriminated against but I think there's a chance she'll de-transition in the next couple years. I don't think it would surprise anybody in her inner circle. It has been much harder than she anticipated. My heart goes out to her and I know her true friends will be there to support her on whatever path she chooses.

Another puzzling thing that Halprin is reporting is that these "multiple sources close to the Kardashian family" also told him that Jenner might revert back because she still is interested in females. It would seem that whoever this source is is confusing gender identity with sexual orientation, and if Jenner were still interested in sleeping with woman, she totally could do so as a women.

Basically, if Jenner wanted to pursue a relationship with a woman, she could do so without having to de-transition, so that argument is pretty thinly veiled. 

Why should anyone believe you anyway, Ian Halperin—man who's website looks like it was made on MS Paint? After all, this is the same man who thought that becoming a Kardashian biographer sounded like a cool job, so is he to be trusted? Apparently he is not.

According to The Daily News, Jenner's rep reached out to immediately shut down the rumors just hours after The Wrap reported on them. They said, "Not worth commenting on such an idiotic report. Of course it's not true."

And there you have it! This will definitely make for one interesting episode of I am Cait somewhere down the line. 

Alyssa Milano explains why she felt pressure to drop her baby weight right after giving birth, and why she waited.

Alyssa Milano said she felt pressure to get back to her pre-baby weight just two weeks after giving birth. And by the way, getting back to your pre-baby weight is not even a requirement for anyone ever, but apparently it feels like that in Hollywood.

Alyssa Milano with one of the children she was expected to carry in her body and then immediately recover from.

"I didn't feel pressure from within the industry," Milano told E! News. "Any pressure that I felt was from seeing other celebrities get down to their [pre-]baby weight in two weeks, and I know that for me that's just not in my makeup, biologically, there's just no way that I could've dropped all that baby weight in two weeks. But the only pressure I really felt was self-inflicted pressure, and that was really fleeting."

Milano said it took 18 months for her to lose weight, and though she didn't set a goal for herself, she lost 55 pounds. "I couldn't call it a goal weight, because there's so many variables you don't really know what a goal weight is, especially when you're 43 and just had a baby," she said, making sense. "I don't know if I'm going to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight."

To lose all that weight, she apparently went to spin classes four-to-five times a week, Pilates three times a week, and Zumba occasionally "because it makes me laugh." (Sure.) She also went on the Atkins diet. Aren't you glad you aren't famous? 

PETA turns prankster, uses super gross special effects to shame shoppers for buying leather.

More high tech and way more terrifying than the old paint job, PETA created an intense installation in Bangkok to expose shoppers to the gross reality of fancy purses.

The people at PETA Asia created a pop-up shop in "one of Bangkok's hippest shopping malls to show consumers the suffering behind every exotic-skins bag, belt, jacket, and pair of gloves or shoes."

It turns out, much like the people who wear snakeskin, the leather is gorgeous on the outside, and disgusting on the inside. It manages to be even more effective than a Sarah McLachlan Animal Cruelty video. 

Revel in the glamor:

It turns out that a snake has a heart, and it's beating in your purse.

Only Indiana Jones would like this view of a snake.

Adorable cheese thief forgets the most crucial rule of crime: always eat the evidence.

Kids: adorable, but terrible when it comes to making excuses. One little girl lied to her dad about stealing cheese, and while her lie is convincing enough, the string of cheese on her face isn't.

Dad (who obviously knew) took his time getting his daughter to confess, but she just kept saying "I didn't," because she subscribes to the age-old adage, "deny till you die."

Of course, after he pointed out that she has cheese on her face, the poor girl swiftly wiped it from her mouth. And the maniacally laughing dad reminded her that Santa Claus is watching, which is equal parts terrifying and ineffective. 

Her dad will probably find more stolen cheese inside the vacuum that she's holding. 

You did what?

Here's the one lesson learned: steal all the cheese you want. Santa Claus isn't real. Oops. 

Katy Perry tweets sadness, suggests emotions over Orlando Bloom and Selena Gomez.

Photos of Orlando Bloom in close proximity to former flame Selena Gomez recently hit the Internet, causing everyone to watch Katy Perry's next move in eager anticipation. As Perry hasn't publicly addressed either her and Bloom's relationship or the potential demise, places like Cosmopolitan are betting that this tweet is about Bloom's cozy time with Gomez:

Here is a sample verse from the classic Peggy Lee song.

And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day, he went away and I thought I'd die.
But I didn't.
And when I didn't I said to myself,
"Is that all there is to love?"

And a few more lines that you can read heavily into if you want:

I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
"If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?"
Oh, no, not me.
I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment. 

Does this mean Bloom and Perry are over and that Perry is struggling with it? If any weight is put into the lyrics and Katy's tweeting of them, then yeah, seems like she was into Bloom and it's over now.

Fans are concerned that Katy Perry tweeted such an old song.

Perry did not respond to these tweets. 


Johnny Depp pranks Disneyland visitors while dressed as the creepiest of his many creepy characters.

Through the Looking Glass, the follow-up to Tim Burton's 2010 Alice In Wonderland, is being released on May 27. To promote it, Johnny Depp dressed up as the Mad Hatter (the character he plays in both movies) and freaked out a whole bunch of people at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. Depp-as-Hatter was broadcast live onto a digitized billboard at the park entrance, from a nearby studio. The billboard looked like a framed picture of him, or a poster of the movie, until he started waving and interacting with the park visitors, when it became clear that he could actually see them.

This has to be one of the creepiest things imaginable. It's so much more "terrifying" than whimsical. Johnny Depp is a dreamboat for sure, but the Mad Hatter is a nightmare. But people were psyched ("I would, like, die right now if it was Johnny Depp") and kids seemed into it, especially when he sneezed and bubbles came out of the top of the billboard (um, okay. Weird).

Anyway, it's nice to see Johnny Depp in a video where he's not apologizing for something.

9 rejected TV pilots that starred actors who went on to much, much better things.

$

0

As you learned from Samuel L. Jackson’s monologue in Pulp Fiction, a pilot is a test episode of a prospective TV series shown to network executives. If those execs like the pilot, it becomes a series. If not, all the participants move on to other things—often better things. Such is the case for the actors on this list, who made these pilots early in their careers before they did work that lasted much longer.

1. Keri Russell in Clerks.

Somehow not as big a career mistake as cutting her hair.

Kevin Smith started his career by making his own movie on his own dime: 1994’s indie classic Clerks. It was distributed by Miramax, which is owned by Disney, which is how that filthy, chatty movie got turned into a laugh-track heavy sitcom pilot rejected by ABC in 1995. Among the cast is a pre-SNLJim Breuer, and as the requisite Desirable Female, future Felicity and The Americans star Keri Russell.


2. Julia Louis-Dreyfus in The Art of Being Nick.

The fuzzy adventures of Old Christine.

The Fonzie of Family Ties was Nick (Scott Valentine), the dumb-dumb artist boyfriend of Mallory Keaton who would delight audiences by uttering his catchphrase, "HEY MALLORY!" He was so popular that NBC rejected (but aired) a spin-off in 1986 about Nick moving to the Big City to pursue his art career. Future president Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, between her stints on SNL and Seinfeld, portrayed Rachel, a proto-Elaine.


3. Jack Black and Owen Wilson in Heat Vision and Jack.

His only regular TV series is The Brink, and that's just sad.

This 1999 pilot has become a cult classic online because it’s so good and just way before its time. Directed by Ben Stiller and written by Dan Harmon (Community) and Rob Schrab (The Sarah Silverman Program), it stars Jack Black as an astronaut who flew too close to the sun, becoming the smartest man alive due to exposure to its rays. Owen Wilson plays the voice of the astronaut’s talking motorcycle. Together, they must stop supervillain and character actor Ron Silver (played by character actor Ron Silver).


4. Leonard Nimoy in Baffled!

Typecasting isn't always a guarantee.

In 1973, the once-and-future Spock played Tom Kovak, a race car driver who gets injured. When he comes to, he realizes that he has psychic abilities, which he uses, per the rules of television, to help the police fight crime.


5. Amy Adams in Manchester Prep.

She has five Oscar nominations.

This 2000 pilot was an attempt at a prequel series to the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions (which itself was a remake of Les Liaisons Dangereuses). Taking over the role of Kathryn (played in the film by Sarah Michelle Gellar) was Amy Adams in one of her first paid gigs. The pilot never aired because Fox thought it was too sexually explicit; it was released on home video instead as Cruel Intentions 2.


6. Bobby Cannavale in So Here's What Happened.

"Gimme the 'Handsomer Brad Garrett.'"

In 2006, Cannavale starred in this generic-looking sitcom (created by Paul Resier) about a slimy car salesman who picks up women and then tells his barber about it. Also, a pre-The Office and Parks and Recreation Rashida Jones is one of those women.


7. Taran Killam in Nobody's Watching.

Like so many of us, Taran Killam is almost unrecognizable with sideburns.

Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence co-wrote this 2006 meta pilot for the WB in which two bros from the Midwest (including a pre-SNLTaran Killiam) send a video to all the TV networks boasting that they can make a better TV show than any that are on the air. They get a deal and delve into the sick, sad world of TV production, à la Episodes. Ironically predictably, the pilot wasn’t picked up, but webisodes were later produced.


8. Seth Green, Juliette Lewis, and Mayim Bialik in a failed The Facts of Life continuation.

She doesn't know about the future. That's anybody's guess.

The Facts of Life ran for seemingly forever, but in reality it was only nine years. It felt like longer because once the main cast members graduated school, they ran a shop together, which felt like a new show. In 1988, the last episode of the series, "The Beginning of the Beginning," tried to set up a continuation of the show, returning to the boarding school format and bringing on a bunch of new kids. Some of them were played by very tiny versions of Robot Chicken, TV’s Blossom, and the actress who would get an Oscar nomination for Cape Fear just four years later. A school-based comedy that produced so many stars—It’s like Freaks and Geeks, except not good.


9. Adam West in Lookwell.

You were too good for the cruel world of TV, sweet prince.

Adam West—the only Batmanthat matters—was perfectly cast as Ty Lookwell, an actor who starred on a barely remembered 1970s detective show who is so delusional, he thinks he can solve actual murder cases in real life. The police don't want his (non) help, but he keeps offering it up anyway. Lookwell was created in 1991 by two writers during what would be one of the last lulls in their careers: Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel (a.k.a. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog).

Here's rare footage of Donald Trump getting something right, calling George Zimmerman a ‘bad guy’ in 2013.

George Zimmerman is back in the news again, this time for auctioning off the gun he used to kill unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.While his clearly pro-gun views would make him popular among the Republican base, a dive into the social media archive shows that he likely won't be Donald Trump's vice presidential pick. 

Trump-Zimmerman 2016 is unlikely, even though it would certainly win him Florida.

On November 19, 2013, the same day Zimmerman attending a hearing"on charges stemming from a fight with his girlfriend" (after being arrested for alleged domestic violence), Trump released this weird video on Instagram, knowing that everyone wanted his opinion on the matter:

I got George Zimmerman right- watch-

A video posted by Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump) on

"I told you a long time ago that George Zimmerman is a bad guy," he says. "Tries to pretend he's an angel. He's no angel. Nothing but trouble."

Firstly, it's hard to imagine people thinking—nearly a year after he shot Trayvon Martin—that George Motherf*cking Zimmerman was an angel, but if they somehow did, Trump's warning would have definitely set the haters straight. Thanks for the public service, Donald!

Trump also tweeted about GZ on multiple occasions, standing up for the family of Trayvon, which might seem impossible in light of his campaign today:

The full message reads: 

They should seriously look into the moron George Zimmerman who shot and killed the 17 year old kid, Trayvon Martin, for no reason. What a disgusting situation.

And the Twitlonger expands:

@GeorgeZimmerman doesn't look injured to me. Even if he's in a fight, does he have to use a gun--and why shoot to kill? He should have stayed in his car like he was told and this terrible tragedy would never have happened.

Sincerely sorry for putting you in the position of agreeing with Donald Trump.

McDonald's employee goes viral with Facebook rant about people who hate on his 'dead-end' job.

Mike Waite, a student and full-time McDonald's employee from Edinburgh, Scotland, is blowing up Facebook with a May 8 post about his McJob, and the people who feel the need to McJudge him for it. In his post, he argues that working at Mickey D's actually helps him achieve his dreams, even though the haters insist he's there because he has no ambition.

Here's the full text of Waite's post:

Today I have had enough of the judgemental criticism. Let me be clear. YES I work at Mcdonalds and do it nearly 50 hours a week. Why? Not because I have no aspiration, motivation or intelligence...but for the opposite...because in a few months time like a great number of people I work with I will be going back into higher education. McDonalds has this reputation which is quite unfounded in the recent age, every person I work with has a story and every person is working their ass off in what can be a very tough job for their own reasons...be it they are in school, uni, have family, have kids, saving...etc. The one thing McDonalds is is a job which is extremely (extremely) flexible, has opportunities for growth and can allow you to do what you want to do. There are people becoming pilots, lawyers, designers, architects, and people who are at a point in their life that they will do whatever it takes to look after their family. I work with people I would aspire to be like, who have strengths in areas I wish I had, who have overcome situations I never could and who have the determination to not fade away on handouts but rather step up and work for their living unlike a huge number of people in this country. In the past I have known and worked with very rich folks in very high end jobs, and a few of them could never match the resilience and work ethic of some of the current lads/lassies. After the ending of a big part of my life McD's is not only letting me save up for University, but setting me up with flexible work I can continue over the next years to come. Not only that but I intend on eventually progressing into the management side of things, something which ties in directly to my degree and will enhance my future job prospects. Dam right McDonalds will be on my CV, this job has pushed my limits in so many areas! Yes it has its downsides, yes the wages can be bad and yes it can be difficult, but every job has is negatives and McD's is no different. As someone who has nearly walked out of a shift a few times...I can say despite the difficulties the greater picture is not always that terrible. Overall please just take your preconceptions and be rid of them because I work with some amazing people, and like many of them McDonalds is not a "dead-end" of my working life but rather part of the beginning. Now, what drink would you like with that order?

Clearly, Waite's message is resonating with a lot of people. His post currently has more than 45,000 likes and 7,000 shares, as well as dozens of supportive comments.

Despite his protests, Mike Waite does reinforce one stereotype about fast-food employees: that they deserve a higher minimum wage. Obviously this guy is working there so he can get a degree and get a different job, but in the meantime, he should get some extra cash to help him relax after those grueling work weeks. He deserves a break today.

If you want to date Chloë Grace Moretz, you have to get through her four big brothers first. Chloë stopped by The Late Late Show with James Corden yesterday and spoke once again about her new relationship with Brookyln Spice Brooklyn Beckham. She also discussed how her older brothers are pretty protective of the 19-year-old actress, so if you wanna be her lover, you gotta get with her...brothers?

Luckily, it would seem that Brooklyn has won the approval of the Moretz boys, or so Chloë says.

Here is Chloë with three of her four older brothers, Brandon, Trevor, Colin; and mother Teri (brother Ethan is not pictured). They are definitely a tall, good-looking brood that you don't want to mess with.

Mom finds a very nerdy way to treat her son's forehead cut. It works like magic.

On Tuesday, Imgur user mommybrittaney posted pics of treating her son's forehead cut, proving that it's very easy to distract a kid when you use a little creativity patching them up. She didn't even need a wand or to use ancient protective magic that would've required her to throw herself in harm's way.

Here's the poor little guy after totally getting knocked in the noggin:

"Nothing will make this better."

 

"Don't look at me."

Mom then grabs a (hopefully washable) marker and goes to work:

"You've captured my interest."

 

"Totally see what you're going for here, and I'm on board."

 

"It's even better than I imagined."

Finally, the finishing touch:

"Do I have to sleep under the stairs now?"

What a great solution by a great mom. Hopefully it didn't work too well, or else she's going to start getting repeated requests for a pet owl.

New report confirms your chicken meat is handled by people in diapers.

$

Odds are, if there's breaking news concerning the meat industry, it's going to be horrific. Like, for example, this breaking Oxfam America report about poultry factory workers wearing diapers so bathroom breaks don't get in the way of making chicken as cheap as possible for American carnivores. The report, titled "No Relief," reveals degrading conditions for workers at company plants that supply chicken to over 60% of the U.S. market. Tyson, Pilgrim’s, Perdue, and Sanderson Farms were four poultry producers named in the report. Oxfam's using Twitter to spread awareness about this issue via #GiveThemABreak.

Oxfam America summarizes the indefensible practice:

Chicken is the most popular meat in America, and the poultry industry is booming. But workers on the processing line do not share in the bounty. Poultry workers 1) earn low wages of diminishing value, 2) suffer elevated rates of injury and illness, and 3) often experience a climate of fear in the workplace.

Despite this, though, workers themselves say that the thing that offends their dignity most is simple: lack of adequate bathroom breaks, and the suffering that entails, especially for women.

Quartz's Debbie Berkowitz, who also contributed an inside look at these factory conditions, highlights just a few of the grim experiences these workers endure so consumers can save a few bucks on what KFC sells as food.

In my work at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, I witnessed the dangers: poultry workers stand shoulder to shoulder on both sides of long conveyor belts, most using scissors or knives, in cold, damp, loud conditions, making the same forceful movements thousands upon thousands of times a day, as they skin, pull, cut, debone and pack the chickens. The typical plant processes 180,000 birds a day. A typical worker handles 40 birds a minute...

...Too many workers tell stories about urinating on themselves or witnessing coworkers do the same. Not only is it embarrassing and degrading, it’s also extremely uncomfortable to feel the warm urine in the frigid environment and to wear wet clothing in 40 degree temperatures.

Hanson, one of the workers featured in the report, works at a Tyson plant in Arkansas and had the disheartening experience of seeing his own mother urinate on the line; she now wears diapers to work to avoid it happening again...

...a recent survey of workers in Minnesota found that 86% of respondents said they get only two bathroom breaks in a week.

Halfway decent dental coverage is a privilege. Not bathroom breaks.

Meanwhile, Tyson twitters on with a fun hashtag campaign to promote their "miracle" product.

Kendra Wilkinson went at Holly Madison on Twitter and it was better than an episode of 'Girls Next Door.'

Holly Madison, former Hugh Hefner girlfriend turned author/Vegas person, gave an unsurprising interview with People in which she shared how much it sucked to live in the Playboy Mansion (she didn't mean that kind of suck, but it's fair to infer it).

Puppy time

A photo posted by Holly Madison (@hollymadison) on

"It was a place where manipulation was used to keep everyone scrambling to keep her spot in the house," she said of the famous homestead."I was trying to sell this image of 'Oh everything is so great here,' but I was miserable inside." Madison addressed her Eskimo sister, Kendra Wilkinson in the interview, saying, "I wish her the best, but I’m done with that portion of my life." 

[Take a moment to stroll down memory lane.]

Wilkinson took poorly to this interview, apparently, because she shared some less than positive thoughts on Twitter. Wilkinson has since deleted the tweets, but not before their text was recorded for history on Us Weekly

Boobs. 😂😝

A photo posted by @kendra_wilkinson_baskett on

Wilkinson went straight for the jugular.

Now Holly is on cover of People mag​ sayin she lived in fear at the mansion. She wasn't in fear with that dick in her ass for a paycheck

Wilkinson also shed some light on Madison's duties at the Mansion. 

That bitch is in fear now knowing so many of us saw her doing some nasty shit. She's embarrassed and in shame. She was the clean up girl

No wonder Madison's life was miserable if this was her job. 

Hollys job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth

It's hard to believe Wilkinson tweeted all that and forever burned the image of Hugh Hefner's erect penis into your mind. But it happened.

The tweets may be gone, yet Twitter has already seen and reacted.

In response, Madison went to E! News with a more poised statement for Wilkinson.

I've written a book, The Vegas Diaries, that's about letting go and moving on. About resolving the past so you can live a future. I've dealt with my demons and I've come out ahead. I can hold my head high and work hard to be the classy and kind person I aspire to be. I want no part of a one-sided argument or feud where one woman lives to demoralize and degrade another woman. For those with unresolved issues, therapy works. You should try it.

This worked out well for Madison: look at this free publicity she's getting.

Wilkinson seems to have gotten the bad Twitter energy out of her body, for she has since apologized. 

To quote JoJo, this apology might be too little, too late.

If there's one thing weed smokers are bad at, it's keeping their love of weed a secret. A girl in Sarasota tweeted out her desire for some dank nugz, forgetting that in 2016, the Po Po are on the social network as well.

The cops saw the girl's call out for weed, and thought it would be cute and fun to turn the tweet into a Public Service Announcement.  

The people of Sarasota were not having it. They quickly went off on Twitter to remind the Florida force that they have bigger fish to fry than a particular plant. Floridians Just Say No to cops trying to be cute on Twitter.

Marijuana is illegal is still illegal in Florida (unlike, apparently, shooting unarmed teens if you're feeling a little scared), so the police force's social media manager was just doing their job. But the Sarasota Police could stand to smoke a fatty j and just be chiller about it.
