Chloë Grace Moretz posts topless photo after giving Kim Kardashian grief for doing the same thing.
Yesterday Chloë Grace Moretz posted a topless selfie on Instagram taken by her boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham.Here it is:
A celeb posting a semi-nude selfie is nothing to write home about in 2016. Except that, as you may remember, Chloë had some words for Kim Kardashian when Kim posted a (granted, slightly more nude) semi-nude selfie last year.
In case you forgot:
At the time, Moretz tweeted:
Later in an interview with Glamour, Moretz blamed the debacle on jet-lag, but stood behind her original statement. "I had just gotten off a plane from South Korea, I was incredibly jet-lagged, and I couldn't take one more thing," she said. "I saw that photo, and I had to say something."
And that wasn't all the young actress had to say. She continued:
That picture wasn't linked to body confidence. It wasn't a #BodyConfidence or #LoveWhoYouAre. It was done in a slightly voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to see.
In the War of the Topless Selfies, who will strike next? All eyes on Kim's twitter account. She's not one to take shade, or hypocrisy, lying down.
Pregnant woman stages prank photoshoot to capture husband's teary reaction to the news.
Bri Dow knew her husband Brandon's reaction to her pregnancy would be priceless, so she conspired a fun way to get it on film. Bri recruited photographer Samantha Boos to help capture the surprise, telling Brandon that they had simply won a free couples photoshoot. Boos gave them each chalkboards, telling them to write "three words that describe each other." While Brandon followed the instructions, Bri used more than three words to tell him something even better.
Here's hoping this becomes a viral phenom more couples do: Husbands Cry When They Find Out Their Wives Are Pregnant (the sequel to Groom Cries When He Sees The Bride For The First Time).

Dad creates gorgeous toast sculptures for daughter who can't eat anything else.
Food can be boring for kids who suffer from severe allergies. It can be even harder for their parents to come up with fun ways to get them to eat. But one dad is turning boring food into art... literally.
Adam Perry felt bad for his daughter who suffers from severe allergies. Her breakfasts basically consist of toast with coconut oil. Sigh. He told ABC7:
I started to feel really sorry for her that her breakfast was so boring every day, the same old two slices of white toast. So I started playing with toast to get her excited about her breakfast again and to make both the girls laugh when they came down to eat.
Each one of Perry's toast creations is made out of two pieces of toast.
He started the Instagram account @2slicesoftoast just for fun, but said:
It's just a bit of fun, but when people comment and say it's brightened their day, somehow it feels great, so I'm going to keep going and see where the toast takes me! I need suggestions though, so if anyone has any, please send them to me and I'll try to build them!
You guys got any suggestions? We vote for Diane Keaton toast. Just think of the hat!
Mel Gibson's ex spoke his name in public, and it cost her $500,000.
Oksana Grigorieva will only receive $250,000 of a $750,000 settlement from Mel Gibson due to the domestic abuse claims she made in an interview on The Howard Stern Show in 2013, according to court documents released on Thursday. She went to the authorities in 2010 and said the actor had punched her, as well as threatened her and their daughter with a gun. Gibson had originally agreed to pay a custody settlement of $15 million—if Grigorieva vowed not to release damning audio of him screaming at her and saying terrible things.
But she then released recordings of an enraged and threatening Gibson anyway. That brought her settlement from $15 million down to $750,000, with the stipulation that she not publicly discuss her relationship with Gibson. She may have hoped to receive more money from press outlets for the tapes and interviews when she settled, and now she only gets a percentage of that.

'Futurama' voice actor gives Trump quotes the performance they've always deserved.
Billy West, the guy who did a bunch of voices for Futurama, got back in the sound booth this week to bring his blowhard space captain, Zapp Brannigan, back to life. But instead of using the hilariously narcissistic dialogue originally created by Futurama's team of Harvard writers, West used actual Trump quotes.
The match of character to sentiment is perfect, as is the coinciding hashtag #MakeAmericaBrannigan.
If any of these sound too cartoonish to be truly Trump, the date and time of each quote are posted on each gif, so go ahead and fact check to your heart's content.
Confused Canadian called the whole race thinking Lochte was Phelps.
Canadian sportscaster Elliotte Friedman accidentally confused Ryan Lochte for Michael Phelps during Phelps's record-setting 200m IM, winning Phelps his 22nd Olympic gold medal. Friedman's reaction?
First watch the major flub.
Poor guy. But like, don't all swimmers look alike underwater?
To his credit, he recognized his mistake and owned it.
And the internet is giving him love, a first for basically anybody on the internet.
Phelps reaction? None yet, but who cares, he's won 22 Olympic gold medals!
You can now turn your breast milk into beautiful jewelry.
If you're a new mom, you might be wondering if there's a fashionable way to preserve the precious memories of breastfeeding your tiny newborn baby. Well, now you can turn your breast milk into fun, wearable accessories. No, we're not kidding.
Ann Marie Sharoupium, an entrepreneur from New Jersey, has started a company Mamma's Liquid Love. Women can send Ann Marie some of their actual breast milk, and she'll use it to create jewelry they can wear. This is taking personalized jewelry to a whole new level. Here are a few of Ann Marie's creations:
While the jewelry is lovely, it's understandable that some people might not be so keen on the idea of wearing their own "liquid." But for those who want to remember their nursing days with something more tangible than a photo, wearing a pendant full of your own breast milk around your neck is certainly one way to go.

Here are the side hustles Olympians use to fund their dreams.
There are 555 athletes on the 2016 US Olympic Team but only a select few get their pictures plastered on a Wheaties Box. Without product endorsements, it's pretty impossible to make it financially as an Olympian, especially in the lesser known sports like trampoline, race walking, badminton, and horse dancing (all real events, btw.) Here are 11 world class athletes and the current day jobs that make their Olympic dreams a reality, or at the very least, that they fall back on when sponsorship money dries up. Prepare to be exhausted.
1. Boxer Nico Hernandez works as a lube tech at his father's trucking company.
2. Track and field gold medalist Kerron Clement is a model, actor, and appeared in a Beyonce video.
Beyonce video extra is not a bad side gig:
Let's all appreciate these modeling skills too.
3. Steve Kasprzykis an Olympic rower and a chemical engineer.
4. Shot-putter Michelle Carter is a makeup artist.
Oh and by the way she just became the first US woman to win the GOLD MEDAL for shot put. What a bad ass!
5. Bronze winner Alex Naddour is an Olympic gymnast and a licensed realtor in Arizona.
6. Race walker John Nunn owns and operates a gourmet cookie business with this daughter.
7. Cyclist Mara Abbott teaches yoga.
8. Olympic marathon runner Jared Ward teaches statistics at BYU.
9. Gwen Jorgensen competes in Olympic triathlons and is a certified tax accountant.
10. Bronze winning fencer MilesChamley-Watson is a model for Ralph Lauren.
Ok, seriously here's the model specimen under the bee-keepers mask:
11. Swimmer Michael Phelps is a beach umbrella salesman.
But he is good at throwing shade.

There's nothing to hate about Katherine Heigl looking great with her baby bump.
After announcing her pregnancy earlier this summer, Katherine Heigl debuted her baby bump on the red carpet this week. She looks happy, stunning, and unperturbed by Seth Rogen recently bringing up that whole Knocked Up feud from eight years ago. Maybe because she has a real life pregnancy to focus her energy on, and this time she doesn't have to play the part of the nagging, uptight girlfriend. ;)
Heigl, 37, attended the CBS, CW, Showtime Summer TCA Party in West Hollywood on Wednesday in a stunning knee-length white dress and posed for pictures alongside husband, singer Josh Kelley.
See? Nothing to hate here.
This will be Heigl and Kelley's third child. They are also parents to daughters Naleigh, 7, and Adalaide, 4, whom they adopted.
Congrats to Heigl, her growing family, and her ability to put silly feuds in the past and move on. Love her or hate her, you have to admit she seems like she's doing just fine.
Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte shared a bro-mantic pasta dinner before their race.
Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte have been through four Olympic Games together now, so it's not surprising that they've developed a bit of a bromance over the years.
Keeping a friendship alive when you're busy winning an absurd amount of Olympic medals isn't easy, but Ryan and Michael still find the time to sneak in a bro date here and there. On Thursday, Lochte posted a photo to his Instagram account of he and Phelps sharing a lovely pasta dinner before their 200m IM race.
Phelps also shared this selfie last week, when Lochte celebrated his 32nd birthday in Rio.
How cute are they? These guys are winners in swimming and in friendship.
Man opens porta-potty and finds something that stinks in the best way.
On Wednesday, a man in Rogue River, Oregon, opened a porta potty in a public park and discovered a monster stash of marijuana plants. There's lots of sticky and icky things you can find in a porta potty, but this was the biggest stash of sticky-icky that the Rogue River police have ever seen. Oregon is one of four states where recreational marijuana is legal, and legal adults are permitted to grow their own plants.
Here's the stash:
The police think the plants may have been ripped out by a disgruntled neighbor, or someone that's not fond of its new legality in Oregon. The plants did not have any buds, so they could not be used to smoke. Instead, they got shredded:
And now it's mulch:
If a disgruntled person put this in a porty potty near a park to alarm the neighborhood, it failed. Because the Rogue River police seem to think it's pretty funny: they referred to the case on Facebook as "The Fresh Connection."
Seth Rogen pranked a grocery store to show that food has feelings.
To promote the new penis-pun-based picture Sausage Party, Seth Rogen brought real (and real creepy) animatronic food to a New York supermarket to scare the crap out of shoppers and teach them a thing or two about food's feelings. Getting to hide behind a cantaloupe and other food, Rogen roasted shoppers, meeting Colonel Sanders and showing some dudes what a real big sausage looks like.
People mostly reacted like the sausages themselves.
The funniest and sweetest reactions to Simone Biles and Aly Raisman being adorable.

Biles took gold and and Raisman took silver in the women's all-around competition on Thursday, and they immediately were adorable about it.
