Directed by Andrew Neel, IMDb describesGoat as a drama about two brothers, one in a fraternity, the other trying to get in. What happens there, "... in the name of "brotherhood," tests the boy and his loyalty to his brother in brutal ways." Based on the trailer, "brutal" obviously means "barely dressed."
Hazing has been a seriously debated issue lately, with some universities banning organizations that take part in brutal practices like the ones depicted in Goat.
But the trailer for Goat certainly puts it all out there, using the "eroticism" of hazing to arouse your attention, so to speak.
Nick Jonas stars as the older brother to Ben Schnetzer, whose character becomes mentally unstable from the barbaric practices the fraternity forces him to do.
We'd love to show a Nick Jonas GIF from the trailer, but it's a little too NSFW. So like, go watch it in a corner somewhere.
Earlier this summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that gonorrhea was becoming resistant to antibiotics. And now the WHO added chlamydia and syphilis (which apparently still exists) to the list. This means all three could be more difficult to treat, and if not treated, they could lead to health problems. Especially for women.
"When left undiagnosed and untreated, these STIs can result in serious complications and long-term health problems for women, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage, and untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause infertility in both men and women," said the WHO report.
But don't panic! There are still various antibiotics that are effective in fighting these STI's, the WHO report adds. The report also reminds people that condoms are very effective in preventing the spread of STI's.
Condoms! They're not just for making weird burritos anymore.
Taran Killam made his own SNL goodbye video on Tuesday to have some fun with his departure from the show. Killam was a cast member on SNL for six seasons, but did not have his contract renewed for the upcoming season this fall. Killam was known for his impressions of Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, and Donald Trump.
He made a video in the style of HBO's NFL documentary series Hard Knocks, which follows an NFL team during training season and shows the behind-the-scenes of when and how players are cut from teams. Killam's version, "Live Knocks," embraced playing the part of the football player who didn't make the squad:
Project Runway season 14 winner Ashley Nell Tipton completely changed the game when she debuted her fashion line at New York Fashion Week in 2015 and became the first designer in the show's history to show a plus-size collection using plus-sized models ... EVER.
These days, Ashley has flown from the safety of Heidi Klum's toned arms into the world of being a bona fide designer by bringing her bright, bold, unapologetic style to from the runway to the rack with a ready-to-wear collection now available at JC Penney.

Yesterday, to celebrate the launch of the line, Ashley took a few minutes out of her big day to talk to Someecards about plus-size fashion and drag queens. (Spoiler alert: She is as cool as her amazing purple hair would suggest.)
Trying to contain my inner fan girl, but still cheesing way too hard.
April Lavalle: When you found out you were going to New York Fashion Week on Project Runway, you said that you couldn't believe it and you needed someone to pinch you. So...how do you feel now?
Ashley Nell Tipton: I mean, you would think that I would be used to it, but I'm not! It's fun. It's exciting to see something you've worked on for months and finally have it out in store. And to actually see people out in the audience wearing your pieces? It's amazing to have all these people behind me. I love it. It's a dream come true. I feel like I'm on a cloud.
Living for the lipstick print.
The line you created on Project Runway had a very specific story—it was inspired by 1950s Mexico City. Do you have a particular story for this new line?
I wanted to bring in my love for the 1950s, but bring it in in a flirty, fun way where we could break boundaries by wearing crop tops, prints, stripes, sequins, [and] shiny things. I wanted to break all those rules. I wanted women to be able to love themselves first and then put these clothes on and feel confident. I just wanted them to finally feel like their voices have been heard and feel like they are fashionable and that they are enough.
Right. That is one of my favorite things about your work: it seems like every item of clothing that plus-size women are told that they shouldn't wear is in your collection! What do you think is the most special part about designing for plus size women?
It's just so exciting to be designing for plus-size women because this is groundbreaking. No one else is doing what I'm doing with this department store, and just being able to be on Project Runway and to win with a plus-size collection and to continue doing this is, and to have such a great company believe in me, that I could do this— it's just unbelievable. I really appreciate working with JC Penney and having them listening to everything I had to say and be able to take what I said and turn it into this whole movement. They knew how passionate I am about the plus-size community and I think they heard my message, and now with this line other women can hear it.
The bomber jacket is everything.
How have things changed for plus-size women since you started designing?
I think we are getting noticed more, and there's a lot more talk about it.
Oh yea, plus-size fashion is definitely in the mainstream.
People are talking about it and . . . it is hard to put into words what the difference is now. I just think it is crazy that I'm one of the [designers who] people look up to now because there's so many people out there that I used to look up to whether I saw them on TV or in a magazine or whatever. Now to be one of those people is crazy.

I saw you went to Drag Con this year. I need to know who you think is the best-dressed drag queen.
Best-dressed drag queen? Oh, that's a hard one! Hmm, who do I love to see when they come. I love to see Alaska. I love to see what Naomi [Smalls] is going to wear, what Kim Chi is going to wear.
Naomi Smalls with Ashley Nell Tipton, presumably talking boobs.
Oh, I can see you working with Kim Chi.
Yeah! Oh, and Alyssa Edwards. I love her, she's hilarious.
Are you watching RuPaul'sDrag RaceAll Stars?
Yes, I'm watching All Stars. I'm friends with a lot of the girls that are on there. It is nice to see friends on a show competing because I know exactly what they're going through. And I think that's one place we really connect—we were both on reality TV and fighting for what we want. And for them to see another individual be so different from what society wants? They're just so accepting, they're amazing.
Who would be your dream person to dress?
I would have to say Adele. Or Kelly Osbourne.
God, if you are there, please let this happen.
Well, since Kelly was a judge on your season of Project Runway, you have that connection! I feel like it is only a matter of time.
Right?!
So, you spoke about your grandmother's influence on your sewing and designing. Who else has inspired you?
I feel like a lot of people in my family have inspired me, but they inspire me in different ways. They inspire me to continue going and to fight for what I want. My sister inspires me every day. I think I inspire her to branch out to try different things than what she is used to wearing.

And you guys work together, right?
Yeah, she is my manager. It's nice to have a family member work closely with you.
Okay, and lastly.I literally scoured the Earth looking for that enamel pin of your face and I could not find it! I fully ripped JC Penney apart searching for one.
Oh no! I might have another one around here, but otherwise you can find them at my website.
This is the face of a man who's willing to do what it takes (instead of any of the much easier options he could have taken).
On the afternoon of Friday, September 2, Ripple handed the bank teller a note reading "I have a gun, give me money." Ripple then sat on the floor until a security guard approached him, at which point he told the guard, "I'm the guy you're looking for."
Police arrived soon after, because the bank Ripple had chosen to rob, the Bank of Labor, was on the same block as police headquarters. Later, he told bemused investigators that his most recent argument with his wife had convinced him he "no longer wanted to be in that situation."
In fact, according to the FBI report (all bank robberies fall under FBI jurisdiction), "Ripple wrote out his demand note in front of his wife... and told her he’d rather be in jail than at home." It's unclear whether the argument that sparked this took place in the bank.
While all bank robberies have to be prosecuted for obvious reasons, one hopes that this bizarre case ends without too much drama, considering no one was hurt. Worst case scenario, though, Ripple still gets his wish.
Fisher's long-awaited advice column for The Guardian officially launched on Tuesday, September 6, and will be operating under the name "Advice from the Dark Side." Could this be any more perfect?
The first person she advised is a mother in her mid-50's whose husband recently revealed he cheated on her with prostitutes for their entire marriage. In her letter, she writes that she estimates he has slept with prostitutes about 100 times, and though his promiscuity has bothered her, his lying about the affairs has seriously damaged their relationship.
We have built a lot of life together. But on the other hand, he lied, lied and lied. I can forgive the fucking around, but the lying is difficult. And even with therapy, I don’t have reassurance that he will understand that lying is wrong.
So THAT's what "nerf-herder" means.
She wanted Carrie's advice as to whether she should stay with the man in whom she's invested her whole life, or if she should leave the bum. Carrie provided her with an understanding-but-no-nonsense answer:
There is no true bottom line for this question – there are many. You know what I think? It sounds like it’s similar to what you think based on the actions you’ve already taken. He needs to prove he’s ready to stop hanging around with hookers. You need to be able to punish him for as long as you may have already and then no more. But he has more to prove than you do. I want him to send you a present or get you flowers. If he doesn’t, I will. You’re a good gal and don’t deserve this. I’m proud of you for taking the long road and not the easiest and fastest. You’ve already proven you can go the distance. It might get easier as you go – it might not. It sounds like it’s worth trying.
Wait, did Carrie Fisher just say she is going to by you flowers? That kind of almost makes the years of infidelity worth it, right? Nah. To read the advice column in full, click here.
America's newest spunky sweetheart, Final Five gymnast Laurie Hernandez, is appearing on the next season of Dancing With The Stars—and she already looks like she's prepared to kick ass. It's a safe bet that one of the best athletes in the world in a sport that actually incorporates dancing will do pretty well in a dance competition against folks like Vanilla Ice and, um, Governor Rick Perry. Exhibit A:
The Venn diagram of Twitter people who like to give advice and Twitter people who are drunk af is almost a perfect circle, so it's inevitable that a trending topic would one day combine those two activities. Today is that day. Everyone knows you're not supposed to drink and drive, but the drunks of Twitter have added to the list with the fill-in-the-blank #DontDrinkAnd_____. Here are the 15 best pieces of advice online drunks managed to type out:
On Wednesday, Apple held its semi-annual Special Event, in which the tech giant introduces its new slate of shiny gadgets and explains why they're so much better than the versions you just spent thousands of dollars on. It's always a hoot.
Despite some exciting announcements, this year's event was tinged with controversy. Apple confirmed the dreaded rumors that the iPhone 7 would dispense with the headphone jack in favor of (included) wireless earbuds called Air Pods. Old-fashioned wired headsets will still work, but only with a special adapter.
Yay, more dongles!
If you're one of the many people who were shocked and dismayed by this news, you may have a short memory. This is hardly the first time Apple has blindsided fans with disappointing product announcements. Here are the 5 worst offenses in the history of the House that Jobs Built.
1. The Lightning cable (2012).
They called it "lightning" because so many people got burned.
At 2012's keynote, Apple introduced the iPhone 5, blowing our minds with its 4-inch screen and LTE support (were we ever so young?). But fans were outraged at the announcement that it would require a new piece of equipment for charging and wired communication: the Lightning cable. Replacing the long-standing 30-pin connector, Lightning would be the new standard for all subsequent Apple products, meaning all previous cables were immediately obsolete unless you bought—you guessed it—an adapter. Sensing a pattern?
2. The 12-inch MacBook (2015).
It even came in gold, just to hammer home how fragile and overpriced it was.
At first, the hype for this ultra-thin luxury laptop was blistering. But sales quickly petered out as consumers realized that it was a flimsy, underpowered alternative to the already-thin MacBook Air. As you might have suspected, the true disappointment was cable-related. A mere three years after introducing Lightning as the end-all, be-all of connectors, Apple announced that Lighting wasn't good enough for this notebook.
Instead, in order to conserve space, the 12-inch would have a single port that handled all charging and accessory needs, like some sort of electronic cloaca. And that port would not be Lightning—it would be something new and confusing called USB-C. To connect your iPhone, you'd need another damn dongle. So many dongles.
3. The Apple USB Mouse (1998).
It was nicknamed the "hockey puck" because using it made you want to bash your teeth out.
In the late 90s, a struggling Apple put itself back on the map with the colorful, user-friendly iMac—a welcome alternative to the beige post-apocalyptic PC towers of the day. Along with every iMac, Apple shipped their brand-new USB mouse, which was just as colorful but not nearly as user-friendly. Its perfectly circular shape made it about as comfortable to handle as an angry hedgehog. If you have any doubt, just ask anyone between the ages of 30 and 35. They'll show you their permanently deformed claw hands as proof.
4. The Macintosh TV (1993).
All the functionality of a computer and a TV, crammed into one hideously ugly box.
Even in its darkest times, Apple was always forward-thinking. 15 years before streaming services, they knew people would want to spend countless hours watching TV on their computers. But with 1993 technology, their best option was the Macintosh TV, which was literally just a computer/TV mashup. It had a switch so that when you got tired of playing BrickOut, you could flip it to TV mode, adjust the antenna, push your desk chair back six feet, and enjoy a brand new episode of Quantum Leap. The Mac TV was such a miserable failure, Apple only built 10,000 before discontinuing it three months later. Today, it's a valuable collector's item among people who hate Apple (mostly just Bill Gates).
5. Those damn Air Pods again (2016).
Dear Apple: THIS IS DUMB.
Sorry to keep harping on this, but come on. These things are a testament to Apple's legacy of solving mild inconveniences with huge inconveniences. Sure, traditional earbuds get tangled, but at least they're not weird little ear penises that will fall out of your pocket five minutes after purchase. Also, they have a five-hour battery life (but you can charge them with their included case, which also has a limited battery life). There's a reason everyone on Twitter is already clowning on them.
You'll constantly lose one of them and then have to replace entire pair. U heard it here first - Air Pods will be the new socks. #AppleEvent
Well, no one asked for it, but it looks like the 80's cult movie Heathersis getting a television reboot. Again!
What Heather said.
In the past, both Fox and Bravo tried to launch a Heathers spin-off TV show, but neither stuck. Now it's TV Land with the green light to take the Heathers into 2016. But if you're expecting a bunch of white girls in plaid skirts to lead the series, you're very wrong. Here are what the new Heathers are going to be like, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
TV Land's take is described as a black comedy that takes place in the present day. It features a new set of popular-yet-evil Heathers — only this time the outcasts have become high school royalty. Heather McNamara (originally played by Lisanne Falk) is a black lesbian; Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty) is a male who identifies as gender-queer whose real name is Heath; and Heather Chandler (Kim Walker) has a body like Martha Dumptruck.
So, basically, this batch of Heathers won't be the same Heathers that you are used to. It will be interesting to see how the network connects this reboot to the original film, although maybe they'll just skip that part, seeing as how high school "mean cliques" are a popular TV/film genre on their own.
TV Land is definitely taking on some sensitive territory in representing queer characters on screen, so here's hoping they don't seriously mess it up. If done successfully, it's a bold and progressive move to write characters like this to lead a series. Hopefully, TV Land casts the roles appropriately (cough cough, please don't repeat the Matt Bomer fiasco cough cough).
Also, "real name," Hollywood Reporter?Really?
The series will be written by Jason Micallef (Butter), and Leslye Headland (Bachelorette) is slated to direct. Production starts this Fall.
Rebecca Black, the 13-year-old disaster made famous for her cringe-inducing, rich-parent-funded music video "Friday," is now a 19-year-old "singer" ready to take another stab at making it big. After posting a teaser on Instagram last week, she released "The Great Divide" on September 3, her first song since her 2013 mockery of her 2011 failure/hit.
First of all, comb your hair, babe. You look like a ghost that flew out of a tornado. Nobody gets that mussed up growing up in rich-as-hell Irvine, California.
Second, this whole thing is smoke and mirrors. The smoke you can see, because it's being pumped into this video like it was directed by a birthday magician. The mirror, however, is what you hear. Doesn't this song sound familiar? Like, Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" familiar? The lines "funny how history ends in an instant," starting at 0:22, follow the same melody as Swift's chorus "Say you'll remember me..."
For your convenience, it's been cued up:
It. Is. Even. In. The. Same. Key.
Looks like Rebecca Black finally found her voice.... Taylor Swift's. Not that Swift has anything to worry about: she writes her own songs and is a very talented robot.
But stay in your lane, Black. Your Kardashian makeup and half-tucked chambray shirt are the fashion equivalent of your music: someone else's idea, executed poorly. In your song "Friday," AKA your greatest hit, you ask "which seat should I take?" I'll help you make up your mind: the back one.
Kim Kardashian attended Kanye's concert Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. But the real stars were her nipples, because she wore a sheer metallic dress, a look she calls the "Silver Surfer":

That outfit is shiny AF. The boots somehow almost manage to distract from the nipples. She also posted some star-studded Snapchats backstage at the show. Here she is being a real Carrie with Sarah Jessica Parker:
Keeping up with pop-science advice on how to structure your day can be exhausting. (Don't drink coffee before 3 or after 2! Exercise before you eat! No, after you eat, dummy!) But, after a few decades of studying humans' daily habits, there are a few things we do know, collected from various journals by financial services provider NetCredit. Here is a break-down of a supremely productive person's day doing all the right things at all the right times. It seems hard, but hey—maybe after you start eating at the right time, it'll be easier to remember when to wake up, and then easier to exercise, and so on!

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on the same stage for the first time in 2016! Sort of. They took turns answering questions in NBC's "Commander In Chief Forum" in front of an audience of veterans. It was supposed to cover military issues. Instead, Clinton was asked about emails and Trump praised Putin. Here are the 25 best reactions from social media:

A leading robotics expert claims that in the near future, sophisticated genital-friendly robots who want to bone 24/7 will become advanced and horny enough that they'll totally replace human relationships. Well, the future is here, and it's really weird. The five men profiled below have already found true love with their primitive sex dolls, which are just early versions of the sexbots to come.

5. Doug Hines is the owner and designer of Roxxxy.
Hines says Roxxxy is the world's first female sex robot equipped with artificial intelligence and able to carry on a conversation. She costs $7,000.
If she could talk, I think she'd say, "Help me."That feeling when you find out a robot is better at relationships than you.
