Princess Jasmine at Disney World just got a modest new makeover.

0
0

Despite being completely fictional, Princess Jasmine from Aladdin is getting heat over the updated, more conservative costume that she wears as a face actor in Disney Parks—and yet no one seems to care about Aladdin's more covered-up look.

Here is the old Jasmine costume (a belly shirt and harem pants) modeled after the one from the 1992 animated movie.

And here is her updated look: longer sleeves and a longer skirt.

Jasmine and Aladdin's new look? Everyone's talking about it! Is it true? (PC: @danicalovesdisney )

Here they are side-by-side.

Damn, that new costume seems kind of warm for Agrabah, but at least it will protect her from those Arabian sunburns.

According to Orlando Weekly, people have speculated Jasmine's costume has changed due to guests complaining about her original outfit showing too much skin. Others have speculated Disney covered her up because the actress playing Jasmine was getting catcalled or harassed by adult male park goers.

Regardless of the reason, change is hard, and people are having a hard time warming up to Jasmine's new duds.

Not surprisingly, no one is really talking about Aladdin's updated look. He went from wearing a chest-baring vest and fez to wearing what looks like an ill-fitting marching band costume complete with bejeweled headpiece. But his change of costume hasn't created much of a hubbub at all.

Even for fictional women— you are damned if you do, damned if you don't.


Watching the 'Stranger Things' kids play with toys from your childhood will make you feel old.

The five young children at the center of the Netflix series Stranger Things were all born in 2002 or later, so, yeah, they don't know sh*t about Gak. Three of them tried out toys that you remember from being a person who actually lived through the 80s and 90s, and the results are frankly a shock to your creaky old bones.Eleven (known as Millie Bobby Brown IRL) doesn't even know what Pop Rocks are. Pop Rocks!

Sigh. This post-Millennial generation really has grown up entirely on iPhone games, hasn't it?

RuPaul won the Emmy for 'Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program' for hosting his show RuPaul's Drag Race, beating out a bunch of nobodies like Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), Steve Harvey (Family Feud), and Heidi Klum (Project Runway). After the win, the LGBT icon took to Twitter.

Well said.

RuPaul's Drag Race is a fringe competition show for drag queens that premiered in 2009 on Logo and was just renewed for its nineth season. RuPaul dedicated the award to "young people around the world, who see our show in Italy or South Africa, Australia or Japan, who know now that there's a way to navigate this life successfully on your own terms."

Yahoo Music editor Lÿndsey Parker got to chat with Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program winner, RuPaul for RuPaul's Drag Race! #EmmysArts

Posted by YahooTV on Sunday, September 11, 2016

Ru credits his win to the 100+ drag queens that have competed on the show over the last seven years. "This so special for me because of the 100 plus girls who have so graciously told their stories on our show, who have traveled the world as ambassadors of...dancing to the beat of a different drummer."

A few months prior to the win, RuPaul was quoted as saying that he would rather have "an enema than an Emmy." Well Ru, now you can have both!

Katie Holmes' photos of sleepy Suri will make you want to call your mom.

Katie Holmes posted some adorable photos of her and her daughter Suri on Instagram, taken at her mother's surprise birthday party on Sunday, and Suri looks as sleepy as we would be if we were partying with celebrities. Or partying with anyone, tbh. Parties are exhausting.

#gratitude #littleangels #blessed

In the pics, 10-year-old Suri is wearing a white gown and snuggling with her mom in an oversized chair. Sleeping in a chair is the best way to spend a party when you're 10. (Or in your 30s. Whatever. Don't judge.)

#blessed #goodnight #gratitude #happybirthdaymom #family #love 🎉🎉🎉

These two look like they have the kind of mother-daughter bond that makes you go, "Tom who?"

Now brb, gotta go call my mom.

Conspiracy theorists think Hillary Clinton is using a body double.

0
0

Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis has inspired a mix of responses, ranging from "get well soon" messages from the likes of Donald Trump to straight up crazy conspiracy theories. The latter seems to haunt Clinton, as there is a long list of truly wacky theories involving her, but the latest involving her health has taken on a life of its own (essentially mirroring the plot of the Kevin Kline film Dave). Could Hillary Clinton be using—deep breaths—a body double?!

It's in the nose!

Or wait, no, it's the ears.

Scratch that, sorry, it's totally the index finger.

Ugh, sorry again, actually it's the legs.

And fear not, the internet figured out the identity of the body double. It's actress and comedian Teresa Barnwell!

Oops, sorry, Barnwell just rained on that parade.

Roseanne thinks Clinton might have multiple sclerosis or even Parkinson's disease.

But we saved the best for last. Hillary Clinton is in fact a robot.

But Clinton is probably too busy getting well and running for President to care or notice. So keep up the crazy, internet, you're doing great!

Solange Knowles wrote an essay about 'white spaces' after women threw literal garbage at her.

0
0

Solange Knowles wrote and posted an essay on her website, SaintHeron, about the perils of being a black person in a white space after four women threw produce at her during a Kraftwerk concert in New Orleans. Yes, people THREW GARBAGE at a black woman for standing up and dancing at an electronic music show predominately attended by white people. Come on, folks, can we really not do better than this?

Knowles had attended the show for the iconic group along with her husband (director Alan Ferguson), her 11-year-old son, and her son's friend. They showed up a few minutes late and started dancing instead of immediately sitting down when they got to their assigned seats, only to have people behind her yell at her to sit down and then throw used limes at her.

Knowles related the story via tweets, some of which she later deleted, and then wrote a cohesive essay on her experience at the Kraftwerk (a German electronic band that got together in 1969, and decidedly not the type of show where one expects to have things thrown at them) show, called "And Do You Belong? I Do."

You’re full of passion and shock, so you share this story on Twitter, hands shaking, because you actually want these women to face accountability in some kind of way. You know that you cannot speak to them with out it escalating because they have no respect for you or your son, and this will only end badly for you and feel it’s not worth getting the police involved. So, you are hoping they will hear you this way.

You know when you share this that a part of the population is going to side with the women who threw trash at you. You know that they will come up with every excuse to remove that huge part of the incident and make this about you standing up at a concert “blocking someone’s view.”

You know that a lot of the media will not even mention the trash being thrown at you with your 11 year old son being present.

You feel that the headline would be “XYZ Goes To A Concert And Gets Trash Thrown At Them,” if it were some of your other non-black peers in the industry.

You constantly see the media having a hard time contextualizing black women and men as victims every day, even when it means losing their own lives.

You do not care in that moment because you understand that many of your followers will understand and have been through this same type of thing many a times, and if it means them hearing you say it’s ok, you will rise again through out these moments, then it means something bigger to you.

You realize that you never called these women racists, but people will continuously put those words in your mouth.

What you did indeed say is, “This is why many black people are uncomfortable being in predominately white spaces,” and you still stand true to that.

The gross reason science says nail biting is actually good for kids.

0
0

Before you slap your child's hand out of his mouth, consider this new study showing that a nail-biting habit could actually save you on doctor bills in the future.

In a New Zealand study of 1,037 children, researchers found that children who had reportedly had been biting their nails or sucking their thumbs at young ages were found to be less reactive to the allergy skin prick test when by the time they were 13. And those results continued to hold true when they were tested again at age 32.

Why? According to the study, "childhood exposure to microbial organisms reduces the risk of developing allergies."

Basically, eating all that gross stuff kids picked up on the playground is building their immune system. Its sort of a "what doesn't kill you makes your nails weaker but your body stronger."

Of course, the study doesn't suggest that you make your kids pick up these habits, but don't you want your kids to grow up big and strong like Britney Spears and Will Smith?

The internet suspects Kesha and Taylor Swift are recording a song together.

0
0

Taylor Swift and Kesha might be recording a song together—or so internet sleuths are speculating, based on admittedly scant evidence. As BuzzFeed deciphered, most of the evidence is based on a single Instagram post by Kesha:

"Making a FUCK OFF song with a casual Grammy award winning secret person [thirteen star and unicorn emojis]," the caption reads. "I got a good feeling about this one."

So apparently, fans think the 13 emojis are significant, because 13 is Taylor Swift's lucky number. Is Taylor Swift casual, though? Also, is casual a synonym for "basic?"

Gigi Hadid—who somehow continually manages to be best friends with both Kim Kardashian's sister Kendall Jenner and Swift—has at least confirmed that Swift is recording songs again. So... maybe fans are on to something? Personally, I'd rather listen to Calvin Harris ft. Katy Perry.


Michael Phelps proves you can't be good at everything on 'Lip Sync Battle.'

It's a comfort to know that Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, isn't great at everything. The GOAT appeared on a special all-star edition of Lip Sync Battle, and while he is undeniably one of the most powerful athletes humanity has ever seen, he was not so great at lip syncing. Backstage, he put a hoodie on and tried to get into Phelps Face mode, lip syncing to Eminem's "Lose Yourself," one of his pre-race pump up songs.

Adding even more champions to the mix, Aly Raisman and Simone Biles surprised the crowd to be the Maddie Zieglers to Olivia Munn's Sia.

The two Final Fivers rocked it, their gymnastics skillz making it easy to transform into ballerinas.

thanks @oliviamunn for having us on your lip sync performance! 💖

Maybe if Lip Sync Battle took place in the pool, synchronized swimming style, Phelps would have had a fairer shot.

Sean Lennon mansplains why mansplaining is 'sexist' (towards men).

0
0

Sean Lennon tried to prove mansplaining doesn't exist and it didn't go so well. During an ongoing Twitter beef with a musician named Elizabeth le Fey, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was accused of mansplaining. He then responded that the term is "sexist" to men, "because it has the word man in it."

He then further.... explained himself.

In case you're confused: this is a man mansplaining why mansplaining is not a thing. Got it?

Here's a brief rundown of the beef that led to this:

Elizabeth le Fey, who performs under the name Globelamp, posted on Instagram asking people to boycott the Desert Daze music festival because the band Foxygen would be performing. Le Fey used to be a member of the band and dated the lead singer, Sam France, who she alleges physically abused her.

Apparently Lennon is friends with the person running the festival, and last week, le Fey tweeted this:

Lennon tweeted this response, which he later deleted. Luckily, le Fey had screengrabbed it and posted it on Instagram:

This culminated into a heated back-and-forth between the two of them via Instagram and Twitter. Lennon even tweeted screenshots of DMs between him and le Fey, like this one that he sent.

It's pretty icky and wreaks of victim-blaming, including lines like "I believe in the concept of innocent til proven guilty" referencing "the Kesha stuff."

We would explain to Sean Lennon why he's straight up wrong. But we don't have to because someone already did. Thank you Angela Lashbrook. You're doing the lord's work.

Yes, mansplaining is sexist, Sean. Stop doing it.

The folks at the real estate blog Estately handle home listings in every part of the country, so they've seen pretty much every town name America has to offer—and they collected all the really odd ones into one map and one really big list.

The 20 funniest reactions to everyone freaking out over Hillary Clinton being sick.

0
0

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton left the 9/11 Memorial Service at Ground Zero early and quite suddenly, claiming to be "overheated." After video footage of her appearing unsteady on her feet and collapsing into the arms of secret service agents began to circulate, the media started to speculate, as it does, about the the general state of her health, while a large portion of the Republican party began gleefully planning her funeral. Later, it was revealed that Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, but neglected to disclose it to the public (WHAT ELSE IS SHE HIDING?). Eventually, the sickness caught up with her and knocked her on her ass, which is pretty much what pneumonia does.

In response to the media's "First the coughing, now the fainting, she's definitely dying" hysteria came the hot (overheated?) takes from Twitter comedians.

SNL’s newest cast member Melissa Villaseñor does ridiculously awesome impressions.

0
0

On Monday, Saturday Night Live announced their three newest cast members: Mikey Day (a writer for the show since 2013), Chicago-based improv and sketch performer Alex Moffat, and LA-based comedian Melissa Villaseñor.

Villaseñor is an incredible impressionist. If you haven't already watched her "Daily Itineraries" for Mas Mejor, do it. Here's one of her as Kristen Wiig—that'll make for an awkward moment at a party someday.

In the video below, she cycles through some of her favorite subjects—including Owen Wilson, Maria Bamford, and Mickey Mouse.

Her star potential was recognized way back in 2011 when she appeared on America's Got Talent, showing off her Barbara Walters, Natalie Portman, Miley Cyrus, and others.

At the time she was working in retail, but as Sharon Osbourne correctly predicted, "not for long."

David Bowie's son shuts down Burning Man people who tried to claim his dad's ashes.

0
0

After several news outlets reported that David Bowie's widow, Iman, had given his son, director Duncan Jones, a portion of Bowie's ashes to scatter at the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada, Jones took to Twitter to clear up the ridiculous rumor (because come ON, David Bowie? Burning Man??).

Jones sent out a tweet on September 12 reading: "That Burning Man thing? What people will do & say for attention never ceases to amaze me. Not true. Kind of a gross claim as well. *sigh*"

E! News was one of the places that misreported the spreading of Bowie's ashes, claiming that a source told them, "David's godchild and David had long talks about Burning Man and what it stands for, and David loved the message behind it." The source claimed that there was a memorial ceremony at the festival for the late rock star, who died in January at the age of 69. An eyewitness at the service told E! News, "We played [David's] music the entire drive from our camp to the Temple and back. Most of us had the Bowie [lightning bolt] face paint on in his honor."

The memorial may have happened, but the ashes part definitely did not. Jones wrote another tweet, mentioning that if his father had ever requested that his ashes be "scattered in front of strangers," it would have been the Skegness Butlins, a resort and fairground in Lincolnshire, England.

But it seems that Bowie did not request that his ashes be spread in front of any strangers, at any fair, at any time.

Here is what every state is Googling about Donald Trump.

0
0

People have a lot of questions about Donald Trump, and by pouring through all the Google Trends information from this election so far, the folks at Estately have determined which questions about the Donald each state asks more than any other. (Well, unless you count "Melania Trump nude" versus "Melania Trump naked," which topped Alabama and Wyoming's searches, respectively.)

Maine just wants to know if Trump Steaks are still for sale (maybe to be paired with Trump Lobster?), and apparently Nebraska has checked out of this race completely. Estately also collected the runners-up in Trump related searches, which you can see below. States that have "nothing" didn't Google anything about Trump at particularly unique rates.

Not all of them are directly Trump-related (the top search in Montana was actually Megyn Kelly, not "sociopath," but it gets lonely in Montana, so who knows?), but it's an interesting study in contrasts. For example, California wants to know how to escape if Trump wins, whereas Missouri is Googling the Three Percenters movement, which is basically promising an armed revolt if Hillary does. Our personal favorite? Florida's choice to Google "the best words." We love you, Florida.

Here's the full list:

ALABAMA: Melania Trump nude / Donald Trump wife / death threat

GEORGIA: tiny hands / Is Megyn Kelly a Democrat?

HAWAII: Tila Tequila (TV personality, Trump supporter) / Miss Universe (beauty pageant Trump once partially owned), Miss Teen USA (beauty pageant Trump once partially owned) / TPP explained / sexual harassment

IDAHO: Crooked Hillary / Make Donald Drumpf again / isolationism / militia / racists for Trump / Hillary Clinton indictment

ILLINOIS: Dennis Rodman (former NBA player, Trump supporter) / Donald Trump fascist / What is NATO? / Who is in NATO? / Why is Trump orange? / Trump merchandise / Why do people vote for Trump?

Thirsty dude makes the most inappropriate comment on a girl's 9/11 Facebook status.

Today's edition of "most appropriately filed inappropriate Reddit post" is this pic uploaded to Cringe Pics that will—you guessed it—make you cringe! Reddit user NiceLasers shared a screenshot of one lady's Facebook status and the requisite desperate guy's comment underneath.

Put aside for a second the misspelling in the original status, if you can. Focus instead on the idea that "Remember to text back" does not equal, in gravity, "Always Remember 9/11."

This also seems like the right time to condemn those "Never Forget" shirts with a picture of a dinosaur.

Guy lovingly 'mom-shames' his mother, who keeps falling asleep after asking for a snack.

Nick Avallone is a 20-year-old student from Pennsylvania who loves his mom Eleanor "beyond words." That's why, when he was staying at home over the summer, he would bring regularly bring her a snack at night when she asked for one (because everyone knows bedtime is prime snack hour!).

But by the time Avallone would get to his mom's room bearing pretzels or Goldfish crackers, she was asleep. So he coined the term "mom-shaming" and made a Tumblr about it.

In her defense, whatever is in that cup looks kinda disappointing.

“I adore my mom beyond words but I have to mom-shame her for always doing this to me,” he wrote.

Here are more pics of her sleeping through various snacks.

Sleeping through Goldfish.
Sleeping through popcorn.

The post went viral, receiving over 32,000 notes on Tumblr so far and 21,000 likes on Instagram. Luckily, Eleanor was a good sport about it. Avallone told Buzzfeed News that when he told his mom she had become an internet sensation and showed her the photos, she said:“I thought it was funny and that it would make other people laugh."

This is exactly what you would expect from a mom so chill she can fall asleep even when she knows snacks are coming.

Celine Dion rapped like Missy Elliott and Nelly and totally nailed it.

Let's be real, watching Celine Dion do basically anything besides sing ballads is like watching your weird Aunt Shirley dance at your cousins wedding. It's cute, a little uncomfortable, and always memorable. Which is why we're so grateful to Ellen DeGeneres for letting Celine be weird by forcing her to rap Missy Elliott and Nelly songs.

DeGeneres, setting up the bit, told a perplexed Dion…

You sing these ballads all the time. I want you to keep growing as an artist, so we put some rap songs in the prompter. All you have to do is sing the words.

And sing the words she did. She made Nelly's "Hot in Here" soulful, Missy Elliott's "Work It" somehow touching, and even made Britney Spears' "Work Bitch" PG by replacing "bitch" with "better."

She told DeGeneres…

My career is going to end tonight.

Zero chance of that.

Celine Dion, please never, ever, change.
