Katy Perry cares so much about you voting that she got naked.

Katy Perry has released a new video today on Twitter urging you to get out and vote in November. And in it, she addresses one of the main concerns young people might have about getting to the polls: what should you wear? According to the pop star, it doesn't matter. You can wear literally anything to the polls. Pajamas. An oversized t-shirt. Anything. Or nothing at all.

Okay, scratch that. You should wear clothes to the polls, because public nudity remains illegal. But you definitely don't have to brush your hair.

And as far as who you vote for, that's up to you! Though I have a hunch who Katy Perry would want you to vote for (clue: it's not this guy).

So keep that in mind while voting on November 8. Katy Perry got completely naked (maybe not a huge deal for her) and appeared in a video with smudged makeup and white girl dreadlocks (a bigger deal) just to remind us to vote. The least we can do is make sure her girl wins.

On Monday night, late night hosts Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Seth Meyers rewarded America for sitting through the madness that was the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump by broadcasting their shows live so they could cover it right away.

Colbert opened up the Late Show with a debate-centric monologue. Colbert joked about Trump's lack of preparation for the debate, and pointed out that it was actually Clinton who told the first lie of the evening when she said, "Donald, it's good to be with you."

Trevor Noah also went live on the Daily Show to talk about the debate, which he called "the most-watched episode of Monday Night Raw." In his 14-minute segment, Noah was really able to dig into all the little moments of the debate. He even came up with a suggestion for the Trump campaign's new slogan: "Donald Trump 2016: Why Not?"

Meanwhile on Late Night, Seth Meyers broke down Trump's manic behavior, constant lying, and obsession with Sean Hannity, as well as Clinton's "patented lukewarm zingers" in his segment, "A Closer Look."

Phew. We made it. One debate down. Only a few more to go until this nightmare election is over. Comedy will get us through it, you guys.

In April, Patton Oswalt's wife Michelle McNamara unexpectedly passed away. The comedian and writer has been publicly coping with his loss ever since. On Monday, Oswalt appeared on Conan to talk about how bittersweet his recent Emmy win was without his wife by his side in a way everyone can understand—by comparing it to food.

Leave it to Patton Oswalt to break your heart and make you laugh all at the same time. Oswalt won the Writing For A Variety Special Emmy for his standup special, Talking for Clapping. He attributed McNamara, who was also a writer, for helping him improve his comedy.

Here's the only thing you should say to a pregnant woman.

Contrary to popular belief, pregnant women are not glistening statuettes meant to ogled at and touched as a means of connecting with the great circle of life. Pregnant woman and blogger Jill Krause schooled strangers on what they should say if they feel like they absolutely have to approach a pregnant lady to comment on their condition.

"There are really only a few acceptable things to say, stranger who feels compelled to comment on the size of a woman incubating a child," Krause says, and it boils down to this:

End of story.

If you absolutely must say something to a woman who's with child, make it a compliment.

Trump clarified his comments on former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and made things 400 lbs worse.

Rich and powerful Oompa Loompa Donald Trump has responded to Hillary Clinton criticizing him during last night's debate for his misogynistic treatment of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado—by making things even worse. The Republican presidential candidate went on Fox and Friends this morning and responded to Clinton's comments by noting that Machado had "gained a massive amount of weight," and "it was a real problem."

For most people, this is considered putting your foot in your mouth. For Donald Trump, it's just called talking.

During last night's debate, Clinton reminded America of the time Trump called Machado "Miss Piggy." We had not forgotten. (​He also called the then 19-year-old an "eating machine" on Howard Stern, made her go to the gym and invited the press to watch her work out.)

"She was the winner, and, you know, she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem," Trump said this morning of Machado. "We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude, and we had a real problem with her."

Trump also described Machado as "the worst we ever had," among Miss Universe winners (Trump owned the franchise until 2015). Machado, who was representing Venezuela, competed and won Miss Universe in 1996. She then says Trump "publicly humiliated" her after she gained weight after winning the competition.

"Donald, she has a name. Her name is Alicia Machado," Clinton said last night. "And she has become a U.S. citizen and you can bet she is going to vote this November."

And she's made it clear who she's voting for.

13 people who are convinced Donald Trump was high on cocaine at the debate.

Perhaps the strangest takeaway from Monday night's first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was Trump's bizarre sniffing, which continued throughout the entire event and mesmerized the internet. Conspiracy theorists on Twitter know that such telltale sniffing can only mean one thing: a raging cocaine problem. Former presidential candidate Howard Dean got the theory going.

Let's be clear. There's no evidence that Trump has ever been super jumped-up on coke. He claims to have never drank or used drugs in his life, and all eyewitness accounts support this.

But it's proving irresistible to the internet to point to a cocaine problem to explain Trump's personality: the bragging, the sweating, the disjointed ranting, the idea that his haircut looks good…

Here are the most compelling arguments from people on Twitter.

Everything is a lie. Canned pumpkin is not actually pumpkin at all.

You know that canned pumpkin you've been eating your whole life? All lies. That orange crap in a can is actually squash.

In the great pumpkin exposé of 2016, Food & Wine uncovered what Big Pumpkin has been hiding with whipped cream all our lives.

Libby’s, the brand that produces about 85% of the country’s canned “pumpkin” filling, has actually developed a certain variety of squash that they grow, package, and distribute to supermarkets across the country–all the while fooling innocent, trusting consumers into believing they’re eating a pumpkin.

Da fuq? Even when the can says "100% pumpkin," it's not pumpkin. Supposedly, this is for everyone's benefit, because real pumpkin meat is "watery and stringy," but how are they allowed to lie like that? It turns out that the USDA isn't bothered by gourds, just like how "natural ingredients" is a USDA approved term for "chemicals made from natural molecules." These pumpkin canners know they can get away with it because they know we're never going to roast our own pumpkins… and you know those pumpkin spice lattes ain't real. Does the world even know what pumpkin tastes like?


Watch every time Trump interrupted Clinton during the debate and despair.

Last night's debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump reminds me of every conversation I had with a drunk, coked-up frat guy at a college party. (In defense of drunk frat guys, most of them don't run for president.) ICYMI, he interrupted her. Constantly. Sometimes to interject with something bordering on a sentence. And sometimes to just yell "WRONG!"

This supercut captures every time Trump interrupted Clinton last night—a staggering 51 times in under an hour. That's about once a minute. Which is many, many more times than he made a cohesive point.

Watch Donald Trump interrupt Hillary Clinton 51 times at Monda...

And now, a completely unprepared man will interrupt a highly prepared woman, 51 times, only to prove he actually has very little to say!

Posted by Ezra Klein on Tuesday, September 27, 2016

As you can see, Hillary handled herself like a champ. Mostly because she did not dump a drink on his head, which is what most of us would have done. Instead she plowed ahead, addressing as many "issues" as she could, while Trump kept trying to yell over her.

From now on, refusing to be silenced by a guy who interrupts you will be called "pulling a Hillary." Can't wait to use it at my next party.

Your waiters are eavesdropping on you and these 17 stories prove it.

It's pretty normal to go out to a restaurant to break big, bad news to somebody—and yet no matter how soft you think you're talking, somebody is going to hear you, particularly the person whose job it is to bring you food and drinks.

In fact, getting to hear all those juicy secrets and awkward conversations is actually a perk of the job. And luckily for you, some of those waiters and waitresses decided to take to Reddit to share some of the best stories they've ever overheard.

1. This story from dougie0341 could only have been worse if the guy had been in love with his own sister.

"Me and your sister are in love and I want a divorce"

2. Hey, N3KO_MURF, what happens in the 1940s, stays in the 1940s.

An elderly couple sat down at a table in my section once, and the husband obviously had some severe health issues (Oxygen tank, and a nurse with him) so I guess he decided to confess to an affair during WW2 with one of the nurses in Germany, the wife was a little teary eyed at first, but forgave the guy saying "we've been married almost 75 years, you think I'm gonna let the past ruin it all now?"

3. And that's when supersnaps had to cancel the order of sushi and soft cheese.

Two adults and two teenagers, woman and girl on one side of the table, man and boy on the other. I just assume it's a normal family out for dinner. Walk up after some time to take their order and they are all deep in conversation. Turns out they're not related, yet. They are all discussing what to do about the boy getting the girl pregnant.

4. Once Askani heard "Plan B" a beeline was made.

Walked up to a couple figuring out where they could get Plan B. I realized that and tried to do a sharp turn to a different table. It seemed like a personal moment but they notice me make my b-line, I think, because they were really seemed embarrassed the rest of the meal. I definitely could have done it smoother.

5. Cool, fun_shirt got to be what's known as an "enabler."

I was bringing a man his third martini, at lunch, as his companion confronted him about alcoholism.

6. This story from Numberlesss reads less like a tale of eavesdropping and more like a deposition.

Once was delivering drinks to two ladies and I caught, "I hate that bitch so much. I would fuck her boyfriend just to piss her off. I don't care if I get an STD.".

7. MasterPip heard a bemusing tale of manslaughter.

"Ran him over and left the body there"

Was the conversation I walked in on. It was a married couple. Late forties or early fifties. If it had been in regards to some sort of story I don't think they would have that "Oh shit did he hear that?" expression on their faces.

8. And unfortunately _Jack_of_spades didn't work at a place that gave out free ice cream sundaes to the recently non-virginated.

I had a table that consisted of a young teenage boy, his parents, and his girlfriend. I'm not sure how THEY got to this point in the conversation, but it came up somewhere between ordering their food and the food being ready that the boy and the girl weren't virgins anymore. The table was a mess of emotions for the rest of the night. The fury of the father, the disappointment of the mother, the defiance of the son, and the mortification of the girlfriend. I'm not sure why they didn't leave immediately to sort it all out at home but they stayed the whole meal and made things awkward for everyone.

9. MADBOWLofSOUP and coworkers really aren't the ones who ought to be embarrassed here.

We had a regular who brought dates to the restaurant all the time. We thought he was single until he brought his wife in and one of the servers said "who is this one?" right in front of the wife. I couldn't believe my ears at the rude question alone, but the wife's facial expression made it clear she picked up on it and when the husband introduced her as his wife I immediately had to get out of that awkward situation. Thank god it wasn't my table.

10. Yes, psychoplatapus, they did need another minute. And some shots.

Once I walked up to a guy telling his girlfriend that he has Syphilis. I heard that and immediately turned around because I felt they needed another minute....

11. A cheeseburger with or without tears on it still tastes good, Alfredsbutler.

when i was a busboy before i started serving tables, i went to drop off food to a middle aged married couple, right when i dropped the food he served her divorce papers saying to sign the divorce right now, The next hour consisted of her sitting there quietly sobbing into a cheeseburger.

12. User madafaku did the right thing.

3 top of middle aged men in suits.

Me- hey , welcome to tgimcchilibees, you guys doing okay tonight?

Customer- Not really, we just found out our brother died.

Me- Shit man, here's the drink menu.

13. Illegaltuna didn't have a prayer.

I walked up during what looked like a lull in conversation between a young couple, but the girl launched into prayer instead, asking for help in keeping her guy away from "the temptations of the flesh" and such. As she went on, eyes closed, the guy looked up at me and shrugged. I never found out what it was all about specifically, but he obviously wasn't taking it seriously while it was a dire situation for her. They'd only gotten drinks by the time she obviously broke up with him. It was so awkward to ask whether they wanted to order... Or just wanted the check.

14. Malico1997 is still trying to get their orders.

Walked over to basically an intervention where the family was yelling at the dad to stop writing prescriptions to people who didn't need them because he was going to be caught. He was in denial, they gave no fucks I was standing right there.

15. AccidentalDystmesis met the villain from an 80s primetime soap, it would seem. Dynasty, something like that.

"I really can't wait for my mother to just die. She would never let us sell the hotel, but as soon as she's gone I'm getting out of this business. I can't wait to have all that money." Then they all laughed.

16. No, LeVampirate, that is one. That one totally counts. It's a good one.

I can't really think of any, but I do remember hearing a guy yell at a girl "At least my eyebrows are real!"

17. Because, BohemianBarbie, if the lady says no, you can propose to the mozzarella sticks.

I walked up to a table, that wasn't mine, to drop off an appetizer:

Me: "Hello, here's your mozzarella.......

Guy: proposing to girlfriend

Me: "........sticks." (Turns and runs away)

Why? Why would you propose in a shitty, cheap, restaurant where the servers wear jeans and tshirts, and you throw peanut shells on the floor? I am forever a part of their engagement story.

Getting hit in the face with a recreational drone is a real fear in 2016, apparently. It happened to Stanley "Flesh-n-Bone" Howse, a member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, during a show earlier this week. As Pitchfork wrote in a memorably horrifying sentence: "This incident follows Enrique Iglesias having his hand sliced open by a drone, Trash Talk knocking a drone into a crowd by throwing beer cans at it, and a slow motion drone crash into the audience of a Muse concert." Don't bring drones to concerts!

Though Howse was apparently hurt by the drone collision, he collected himself and continued the show. And yes, the internet has already made that joke you thought of while reading this story:

And that answer is: It would be awesome. ​

So now it's time to gather all the Jacks in your life and Make America Bueno Again.

Gigi Hadid writes about being attacked on the street in the latest Lenny Letter.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid was assaulted on the street by a stranger after a fashion show in Italy last week. She fought back, and a video of the incident has since gone viral. Now, she is speaking out about the attack and defending her decision to fight back in an essay she co-wrote with Lena Dunham in this week's edition of Dunham's newsletter Lenny Letter.

"I remember taking the time, as it all felt slo-mo, to look at him, a stranger, and my first reaction was: 'Get me out of this situation,'" writes 21-year-old Hadid. "I played volleyball, and my coaches talked about muscle memory. I started boxing two years ago and I always remembered that. Since then, I hadn’t been in a situation that forced me to fight back, but it just came out when he grabbed me — it wasn’t a choice. I do have that fighter in me."

Some media outlets criticized Hadid for choosing to defend herself, and she also responded to those comments with a swift (written) right hook:

The first article that was posted about the incident was headlined: 'Not model behavior. Gigi aggressively lashes out and elbows fan in the face after he tries to pick her up. The supermodel angrily hit an unknown man before running to her car.' That’s when I really got pissed," she said. "First of all, it was a woman who wrote the story with that headline. What would you tell your daughter to do? If my behavior isn’t model behavior, then what is? What would you have told your daughter to do in that situation?

Luckily Hadid received her share of positive support online as well, and was called a hero for her slayer self-defense moves. She disagrees:

It sounds cliché to say it, but in the moment, it wasn’t heroic to me. It was just what I had to do. It’s very touching to me that people see it that way. I know people are put in much worse situations every day and don’t have the cameras around that provoke social-media support. I just want to use what happened to me to show that it’s everyone’s right, and it can be empowering, to be able to defend yourself.

Props to Gigi for sticking up for herself then and now. We should probably all sign up for self-defense class. Because it appears that punching a padded stranger for an hour can be both useful AND fun.

Chicago mother Kristen O’Meara refused to vaccinate her children after doing some extensive Googling and deciding that vaccines cause autism. Now that she, her husband, and all three of her children have gotten sick, she says she feels "really guilty."

According to her appearance on Tuesday's episode of Good Morning America, all three of O'Meara's children contracted rotavirus, which causes diarrhea and vomiting, and is one of the many diseases that are prevented by vaccines. Then she and her husband both came down with it.

"It was awful, and it didn't have to happen, because I could have had them vaccinated. I felt guilty. I felt really guilty," said O'Meara, who is also a teacher. After the incident, she caught all three of her children up on their vaccinations.

I put my kids at risk. I wish that I had taken more time to research both sides before my children were born.

Uh-DUH. Why would someone trust the internet? It's the same community that is convinced Taylor Swift is a clone.

A study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that the main reason parents aren't vaccinating is because they think it's unnecessary. Unfortunately, some don't find out just how necessary it is until they wind up in a situation where they have more vomiting children than they have bathrooms.

A lot of the imagery in this infographic from MagneticNorth.com is business-related, but the truth is that these are all-purpose tactics for negotiating better with bosses, co-workers, roommates, spouses, and your kids alike. For example, one of the simplest pieces of advice (but hardest for most people) they have is "Stay Silent." After someone states their case or offer, ponder it for a few moments without saying anything. The reason it's difficult is the same reason it's effective: human beings hate silence and will usually fill it compulsively, even if means filling it by compromising with you.

Here's a normal person problem that you totally can understand and relate to: apparently supermodel Elle Macpherson regrets appearing on Friendsbecause she had no idea the show was so popular. Macpherson played Joey's roommate and eventual hookup Janine for a five-episode run back in 1999.

"If I’d known how important it was in the US, or how long it would be on TV, I may not have chosen to do it," Macpherson, who is Australian, told TV Week. "It was a lot of pressure if you look at it in the way that it will be around for 20 or 30 years."

Macpherson said she even turned down doing additional episodes on the show because she was living in London. It turns out Macpherson is no friend to Friends.

After Emmy-winning comedian and Twitter warrior Patton Oswalt tweeted that his first meal of the day was his daughter's leftover pancake debris, other TV personalities began chiming in with "same."

This tweet has every frazzled parent nodding their head in unison and thinking, "Yes, yes, that is me." It was even embraced by celebrities, the people you'd assume would have private chefs and chauffeurs to take their children to school. But nope. If you're looking for proof that children can ruin anybody's life, look no further than our celebrities.

First to respond was Angela Kinsey from The Office.

Then musician Tom Hensley joined in with his even more disgusting potato chip/hash brown combo.

That's when the real people started piling on. Celebrities eat their children's leftover breakfast like the rest of us.

Later that day, Oswalt discussed his Emmy win and recent personal tragedy on Conan. So yes, he is a busy dad.
