Megyn Kelly made a noise on Twitter as the Trumps' sexual harassment comments hit close to home.

Fox News' Megyn Kelly is turning out to be the go-to barometer for how to respond to Trump brain farts. In response to statements made by Trump's son Eric on CBS This Morning, where he suggested that Ivanka Trump wouldn't let a man sexually harass her because she's a powerful woman, Kelly tweeted...

Eric Trump was responding to a statement made by daddy Donald to USA Today. Donald called the sexual harassment allegations made by Fox News employees like Kelly and Gretchen Carlson against former chief, Roger Ailes, "very sad" and suggested the women were "complaining" about a man who "helped" them. Then he was asked how he would feel if his daughter, Ivanka, were sexually harassed in the same manner?

“I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case,” he said.

Oy. Maybe Donald thinks every woman's career is totally optional, and if the boys are mean they can just go back home to their husband?

So, Eric Trump stepped up to defend his father...​

Eric Trump has since tweeted...

But Gretchen Carlson is having none of it...

Is "foot in mouth" a disease? Because if so, the Trump family could use a group discount on it.


Constance Hall hits back at Facebook after they deleted her 'controversial' photo with her daughter.

Writer and "Australian blogger, freedom fighter, [and] queen lover" Constance Hall ran into Facebook's strident, baffling censorship rules recently, and nearly 100,000 people are endorsing her response. It looks a lot like an erect middle finger.

Facebook deleted the photo of my glorious curvaceous comfy body the other night. In an act that can only be described as #mumbod envy. Don't worry admin, one day you will have a comfy #mumbod too 󾮖🏼

Posted by Constance Hall on Wednesday, July 27, 2016

According to Metro, the removed photo "had shown Constance cuddling her topless seven-year-old daughter." A carefree child without a shirt on? Too dangerous for the public.

Some commenters pointed out the obvious, that Facebook removed the photo because her "daughter didn't have a shirt on," to which Constance replied, "She's only just turned 7!!!!"

That comment received nearly 100 "likes" for every exclamation point. She continued, "She's a baby!! And was wearing shorts."

While her seven-year-old probably hates to be called a baby by her mom in public, her point's well taken. There are much more important things for Facebook to censor. Like any post that starts with, "So I don't usually post on Facebook, but..."

Good news, slobs! Flossing may be a gigantic multi-decade con.

Congratulations, you lazy unhygienic beasts: apparently, there is little proof that flossing actually works to prevent gum disease and cavities. The powerful Gum Lobby will have you believe that flossing, as it says on the American Dental Association's website, "is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums."

beyonce instagram mother blue ivy floss
Queen Bey and Blue Ivy floss, so there must be something to it, right? Wrong.

The Associated Press, on the other hand, looked studies that followed "Brushers and Flossers" versus "Just Brushers" over 25 years, and found that evidence for the benefits of flossing were "weak, very unreliable" and carried "a moderate to large potential for bias."​

It's not above dentists to make you feel bad for the sake of making you feel bad.

"The majority of available studies fail to demonstrate that flossing is generally effective in plaque removal," a 2015 review said.

One study did say that flossing was good for reducing inflammation of the gums, but that may not be enough to prevent you from feeling like you've been lied to your whole life.

Even Homer Simpson fell for the conspiracy.

The American Dental Association is catching on that the jig is up. The AP reports,​

When pressed, Matthew J. Messina, a practicing dentist and spokesman for the dental association, acknowledged weak evidence, but he blamed research participants who didn't floss correctly.

Deflecting blame is THE FIRST sign of a weak argument.

Dentists are likely nervous to admit the failure of flossing, as it would tacitly admit that they've been pushing an unproven for decades. Also, the all-powerful floss industry makes about $2 billion a year.

While your dentist will likely try to refute this claim, feel free to enjoy all the free time you would have spent on not flossing, anyway.

Siblings can be straight up evil. We don't know what this little boy did to provoke his brother Jack. Maybe he was just minding his business, eating his Cheerios or whatever, when Jack cut him to the very core of his soul by calling him the worst thing you could call another human being.

And he's not taking it well. "Jack called me Donald Trump," he sobs, rightfully devastated.

In Jack's defense, maybe this little kid decided to run for President and then said a bunch of really offensive things about minorities and women. In which case, sorry kid, but you areDonald Trump.

Lovesick Dutch guy waits 10 days at a Chinese airport hoping his date's not blowing him off.

A "severely diabetic" Dutch man named Alexander Pieter Cirk, age 41, spent 10 days languishing within a Chinese airport waiting for a 26-year-old woman he met online to meet him. Cirk did not leave the airport, sleeping there 10 nights in a row.

The lady, identified only as Zhang, has been quoted as saying she didn't expect Cirk to make the trip. As he waited for her, she was apparently recovering from plastic surgery in Zhengzhou some 500 miles away.

It's probably safe to assume the food options at Huanghua International Airport are both wildly unhealthy and overpriced. Cirk clearly felt his date was worth the hardships.

"One day he sent me a photo of air tickets abruptly and I thought it was a joke. He didn't contact me later," she explained of why this man waited 240 hours in an airport for her.

Cirk's surprise visit, then, went extremely poorly.

After photos of him on Chinese social media made it to the local news, authorities apparently took "a frail-looking Cirk" to the hospital.

While Zhang told news outlets it would be too "inconvenient" to visit him, she eventually called Cirk in the hospital and they had a two hour conversation.

At least Cirk saved on long distance charges.

Drunk airline passenger subdued by pilot after attacking attendant and attempting to deplane early.

25-year-old drunken mess Michael Kerr messed with the wrong flight crew when he tried to forcibly exit an American Airlines flight prematurely. According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, the crew was still waiting for the gate to attach itself to the plane before letting passengers deplane the flight when the incident occurred.

Kerr, who reportedly drank three Jack Daniels during the flight, tried to push his way off the plane. A flight attendant tried to get him to sit back down, even blocking the exit with her body, but when Kerr started to get physical, a pilot intervened. It's kind of awesome.

"Whatever you do is going on Facebook, and you’re a complete loser!" yelled Kerr in the video, which makes this whole thing wonderfully ironic and chock-full of karma.

Kerr was faces charges of being intoxicated and disruptive, assault on the female crew member, communicating threats, and interfering with a flight crew or attendant. He was arraigned in federal court on Aug. 1 before being released on $20,000 bond. He was also fired from his job, is now barred from flying on commercial airlines and is barred from ever contacting the flight attendant in the video (who, reportedly, is in physical therapy from the injuries she sustained).

The video was shot by Brian Colón, a flight attendant for Norwegian Airlines, who said he was scared for the flight attendant's life as she was repeatedly harassed by Kerr. He said has never seen or experienced anything like this on a flight before.

And he should know. He is a flight attendant.

The only thing more questionable that Kerr's behavior is his haircut. Sideburns only, dude? Really? Were you drunk when you went to the barber, too?

Apparently 90s rapper Vanilla Ice, 48, doesn't know how airport lines work. A video has surfaced of a very public meltdown Mr. Ice had at the Atlanta International Airport.

He was on his way to a show in Nebraska, but unfortunately missed his flight. The woman who shot the video said that Ice got there 10 minutes after the cutoff point to board, and was on his phone the whole time.

Things turned icy (get it?) when an onlooker suggested Ice should pay more attention to the monitors.

Ice has been traveling a lot recently, so you'd think he'd know how it all worked. He tweeted not long ago:

LOL, "rockstar."

We live in perilous times. One presidential candidate is attacking a Gold Star military family, while the other has crazy non-Viagra-related sh*t hiding in her emails. So when a leading political player like Speaker of the House, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, openly supports a bold new vision for America, it's big news. Well, that is until he deletes the big news.

1 in 20 want to see the Harambe, the gorilla that was killed at the Cincinnati zoo after a toddler fell into his enclosure, occupy the Oval Office. And Speaker Ryan, tweeting from his personal account, seems to agree with the 5 percent of voters who feel this way.

So why back down from this bold new vision, Speaker Ryan? Why delete this tweet?

We need you to rise up...

Be strong...

And stand up for what you believe in, which, we all know now, is gorilla power. And now we sing...

Speaker Ryan's 24-word press release on Trump is straight fire.

On August 2, Donald Trump responded to criticism by Paul Ryan and John McCain over his feud with the parents of a slain Army captain by announcing he would not endorse McCain or Ryan in their primary races this month. Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, Harambe fan and the highest-ranking Republican in America, doesn't give a flying Fig Newton what Donny T thinks:

Neither Speaker Ryan nor anyone on his team has ever asked for Donald Trump's endorsement. And we are confident in victory next week regardless.

Of course, many #NeverTrump Republicans want Ryan to do more. That said, rumors are swirling that Trump's campaign is fraying from within over the candidate's refusal to stop fighting with the parents of a dead American war hero. Between his "suicidal" staff and GOP lawmakers starting to defect, the long-mocked #NeverTrumpers may have their day yet.

5 Netflix series that will destroy you and your life for the better.

Netflix enhances your life, while Netflix ruins your life. Usually the damage is just in lost time, or maybe even a job or two, thanks to your binges. But besides just being addictive, the following five shows will do irreparable damage to your life for a whole bunch of other reasons. So if you haven't watched yet, pop some popcorn and get ready for these shows to destroy you and everything you love, while simultaneously transforming you into a better version of yourself.

1. Orange is the New Black

OITNB follows the lives and origin stories of women living in a minimum security woman's prison. It's also based on true stories. If you hadn't already thought about the criminal (in)justice system in America, now you can't not think about it. What the show highlights pretty clearly is that most people end up in prison not because they're evil people, but because the system turned against them, or they were at the wrong place in the wrong time, or they made a mistake with severe consequences. It also shows how some people (ahem, Martha) benefit from privilege even behind bars.

Maybe you were just in it for the hot girl-on-girls action. But now that you've watched this show, you can't stop thinking about how the system is broken. And that's a bummer. But not as much of a bummer as being in prison.

Your life is ruined: you have a conscience.

Your life is better: you know it could be much worse.

2. Love

Much like love, Love is both horrible and addictive. The main characters embody everything people hate about millennials, which is unfair because it's not true. We're not like that, but also we kinda are. This show will make you furious that you watched it and equally furious that you have to wait for season two.

Your life is ruined: Because you just wasted hours of your life on this show.

Your life is better: You know you're probably not as annoying as these characters, right? Riiight?

3. Bloodline

Just like family, Bloodline sucks you in and then spits you out a shattered, hollow shell of your former self. And yet you can't stay away, and you're pretty sure this is something you should talk about in therapy. This smart, dark drama is about a family so dysfunctional it makes yours look relatively normal.

Your life is ruined: you're a shell of a human.

Your life is better: at least your family isn't this one.

4. Stranger Things

Stranger Things is scary af. So scary that I haven't watched it yet, and don't plan on ever watching it, and know I'll probably end up watching it. God damn it.

Your life is ruined: you can't fall asleep and live in constant fear.

Your life is better: Perhaps you get a nightmare based on the show that's just a tiny bit less terrifying than the usual one based on your life.

5. Narcos

This drama about the 1980s cocaine cartel run by Pablo Escobar, and the efforts of the DEA to capture him, will teach you more than you ever needed to know about the cocaine trade. Just like hot dogs, drugs are so much better when you don't know where they came from.

Your life is ruined: you know where drugs come from and you're starting to get a conscience about it.

Your life is better: Congrats! You'll never do drugs again.

Millennials have less sex than Gen-Xers, so it's not just you.

Good news, lonely millennials—you are not alone!

According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, around 15% of people between the ages 20 and 24 reported having "no sexual partners since they turned 18." When they were in that age range, only six percent of Generation Xers reported the same.

There are a whole bunch of possible reasons why millennials hit dry spells. Jean Twenge, the lead researcher of the study and author of the book "Generation Me," says that sex lives are an extension of the many problems millennials face.

1. Too Busy to Get Busy

"There's the possibility that technology has something to do with this," Twenge said. Spending more time texting with friends than hanging out with them, there are fewer opportunities for organic hook ups. Plus, "there are more ways to entertain yourself," she adds.

2. Worth the Wait

Martin Monto, a sociology professor at the University of Portland who is not connected to the study, pointed out that according to the CDC, "the percentage of high school students who have had sex plummeted from 54% in 1991 to 41% in 2015."

Twenge says that according to her findings, this generation appears to be waiting longer to have sex, despite being billed as "the hookup generation."

Monto adds that "the hookup generation" is a bad term, because as Bill Clinton taught Gen Xers, "sexual relations" could mean all types of different things.

3. Safety First

"[Gen X] was the first generation that came of age when sex could equal death," Twenge said, and while "thankfully, that abated somewhat," young people now discuss issues of emotional safety in addition to physical safety.

She cited online trigger warnings as an example, adding, "this generation is much more concerned about safety on both a physical and an emotional level."

4. So Immature

"This is part of a general theme of later maturation that's been pretty well-documented," Twenge said. Just as millennials take longer to get jobs and get married, they may take longer before becoming sexually active as well.

Ozzy Osbourne's mistress Michelle Pugh describes their 'indescribable' affair.

Hair colorist Michelle Pugh is talking toPeople about her four year affair with English rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy and Michelle have reportedly ceased all communication after news of the affair broke earlier this year, but that won't stop Ozzy's former mistress from divulging the details of their relationship to any magazine that will listen.

The two met in 2011 when she first saw Ozzy as a client at the Mèche Salon in Beverly Hills where she works as a hair colorist. They apparently hit it off, bonding over their love of music, painting, history, and current events. Thus, they began boning.

Pugh calls Ozzy the "the greatest love of her life" while Ozzy says Michelle and his relationship was basically just a result of his sex addiction. Romantic.

Ozzy's rep told People:

"He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context," adding, "Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy." ​

"What attracted me to him? Chemistry," says Pugh. "We just had it. It's that indescribable thing in life, and you can't deny it. And he didn't." She goes on to say, "My relationship was more with this really nice, sweet, funny and cool guy... John from England."

John? That's so weird.

Well, now Pugh and Osbourne are completely over, and Ozzy is reportedly working to rebuild his marriage with Sharon. However, as Ozzy tries to reconcile with his wife, Pugh is heartbroken. She says getting over "The Prince of Darkness" is a daily struggle.

"I wake from my dreams, which some nights he's in, and for a minute when I wake I'm peaceful," she says. "Then the absence sets in. It's horrible."

Her full interview will be available in an upcoming issue of People.
