Amy Schumer is in "negotiations" to play an "imperfect" Barbie doll an an upcoming Barbie movie with a female empowerment slant, Deadline reports. I can almost feel the internet collectively getting ready to pounce.

The storyline is apparently about a Barbie who gets kicked out of Barbieland for "not meeting the town’s standards." So she is forced out into the real world, where she learns important lessons about body image and self-esteem (something Schumer mayknow a thing or two about). This actually sounds kind of awesome, although I'm sure many parts of the internet will disagree.

The studio felt the Trainwreck actress' "edgy" comedy made her perfect for the role, as well as her "Barbie hair." But more importantly: "Schumer’s growing stature as a role model for female empowerment fits perfectly with how the film will exploit Barbie’s evolution into dolls of different sizes and shapes.​"

According to Deadline, the movie is meant to poke fun at Barbie and the sexist ideals the doll perpetuates among young girls. Also, Sony Pictures and the movie’s producers are reportedly planning to hire a female director. Personally, I think we are wayyyyy overdue for a Barbie whose physical proportions wouldn't technically kill her. This could either be the badass feminist Barbie movie we all need, or a major disappointment. Either way, you know it will rile some people.

The movie is set to be released in the summer 2018. Plan your outrage accordingly.

If you consider yourself a Gilmore Girls fan, there's probably a 100% chance you've already watched the show's revival, A Year In The Life. People have been freaking out since the four-episode mini-series was released a few weeks ago. But there is someone who's holding out on us: Lauren Graham.

According to People, he actress who plays the coffee-fueled, no-bullshit Lorelai Gilmore on the show, revealed in an interview talk at New York's 92nd Street Y on Thursday Night, that she doesn't have any plans to watch the revival.

Apparently, it was hard enough for Graham to even force herself to watch the original seven seasons of the show. She didn't watch them until the four episodes of the revival were filmed, and even then she locked herself in her apartment and binged them all in three days. “There are many actors who learn a lot by watching themselves. I’m not one of those people, so I stayed away from it," Graham said.

Part of me doesn't understand her aversion to watching herself bring an unforgettable character to life on screen, but the other part of me knows how accidentally opening the front camera on my phone and unexpectedly confronting my own visage can throw off my entire morning. So, like, can I blame her?

But Graham went on to explain that a lot of her reasons for not watching herself are pretty emotional. "I had some of my favorite moments I’ve ever had as an actor and as a person in that experience. I just want to leave it there for now — that was enough."

And considering how emotional Gilmore Girls fans get over watching the show, let alone being it, it's easy to see where Graham is coming from. Nobody wants to look at vacation photos while they're on the flight home. You need some time to just bask in the afterglow.

In fact, Graham was so emotional about the show ending that she put off reading the script for the final episode, "Fall," and actually read it as they shot. "I almost didn’t want to know how it ended. I was worried where it was going and what if I’m disappointed. But finally I had to do it, ’cause I really had to film it, and I sat at the kitchen table and I cried from page one all the way to the end. It was the biggest emotional experience.”

It's okay, Lauren, we all cried.

Jennifer Lawrence has already done enough work to prove to us that she's the most relatable famous person on earth. I mean, she trips, she eats pizza, and she hates Donald Trump. The stars, they're just like us! There is that little thing about how she's the world's highest paid actresses, but forget about that! She openly talks about her period!

And now, in an interview with The Graham Norton Show, Lawrence gets even more down to earth (she is so close to earth, you guys, she is practically in it!) with her latest confession: her high school superlative: Most Talkative.

I mean, I freaking love to gab. And in high school? Please, I was chatting up a storm! Just further proof that in an alternate universe where I grew up in Louisville, Ky. or J Law grew up in Bangor, Maine, we would have absolutely been best friends, or forced to duel to the death because we were exactly the same and there could only be one. Hard to say which would be the case.

At any rate, Lawrence didn't win the superlative once, but twice. “Two consecutive years. Yeah, it was hard to get,” she joked, because ofcourse she knows how to make fun of herself.

If you're looking for a quick moment to commune with your long-lost-sister who is probably amazing at braiding your hair, you can watch the interview here:

The police department in the Canadian town of Kensington are real sorry about that mean Nickelback joke they made earlier this week. In a since-deleted Facebook post, the Kensington authorities warned citizens of the punishment for drunk driving with a little shade thrown at the band from Alberta: “on top of a hefty fine, a criminal charge and a years driving suspension we will also provide you with a bonus gift of playing the offices copy of Nickelback in the cruiser on the way to jail.”

Well you know what they say, it's always funny until someone gets hurt. And this was apparently the straw that broke the...nickel's back. The world has been goofing on Nickelback for quite some time now, but as the story of the Kensington police department's joke suddenly went viral, they started to rethink their actions. Friday afternoon they decide to issue a public apology on Facebook.

"The message being heard was no longer Don’t Drink and Drive and in its wake was a group of guys and their families left wondering why they were the global butt of a joke that they had not deserved," wrote Constable Robb Hartlen, who penned the initial post.

The decision was reached after Hartlen directly reached out to the members of Nickelback to apologize to them. "I have reached out to Nickelback. To Chad, Ryan, Mike and Daniel," he said. "And as we spoke I found out some wonderful news. They feel just as strong about it as I do. So we decided it was best to take down the original post."

A local police unit's Facebook post going viral because the world loves a good Nickelback joke serves as a reminder to all of us that we should think about what we say online (duh). But probably more importantly, it's a reminder to media outlets that the stories they choose to cover, often also as a joke, can have an adverse affect on their subjects by elevating them to a much larger audience. Since the Nickelback post, the Kensington PD has seen a 300% increase in Page Likes, while beforehand they were speaking to a small, local audience and would often get a handful of likes, comments or shares. Having a smaller audience doesn't make a joke more acceptable, but we're probably all guilty of making at least one Nickelback joke in our lifetime. On the spectrum, it's probably not that bad.

Sometimes a joke gets blown out of proportion, and things get out of hand. I feel you, Kensington, Police Department. We've all been there. In the words of the Bee Gees: I started a joke which started the whole world crying/But I didn't see that the joke was on me​.

I don't want to live in fear. I really don't. But when the world starts aggressively recalling hummus, one of my main sources of sustenance (and joy), I start to freak out a little bit.

First, they came for our Sabra hummus. Now, they have taken Trader Joe's delicious chickpea schmear away. What is next, our Tribe, our Sabra? The recall, which is specifically for Trader Joe's Mediterranean and White Bean & Basil flavors being sold in 30 states, is due to potential listeria, the same issue affecting Sabra's hummus. I just want to know what the heck people expect me to dip my baby carrots into now?

My heart is saying I should keep eating hummus with reckless abandon, but my head is reminding me that I don't like vomiting. Maybe this whole thing is a deserved attack on the white gentrifiers of the world. Maybe I have been on a slippery slope towards basically being a character out of Portlandia and this is my wake up call.

But maybe I'm not as bad off as this person:

Just do me a favor and watch where you're dipping.

Lately, we've heard a lot about how the internet has been divided into various bubbles, with people retreating to whatever echo chamber reinforces their own views and keeps dissenters out. But you can't deny that over time, being online increases your odds of seeing something that challenges everything you thought you knew. Such is the case with this guy and the thing he wrote on a piece of paper. We've never heard any idea expressed as beautifully:

Doesn't this make you want to stand up and start making a difference? I know I'm inspired. Thank you, guy, for writing something on a piece of paper.

The more one reads about Art Basel in Miami Beach, the more one resolves to never go anywhere near the annual orgy of neon lights, cocaine, VIP parties, champagne, paparazzi, and pretentious affect. But if one thing above all the others can convince you to stay away next year, and ever after, it might be knowing that Madonna and Ariana Grande awkwardly twerked together there.

Look, we're not saying pop stars shouldn't have a good time and dance like nobody's watching—even if they want to attempt a faddish dance that peaked a few years ago. Problem is, everybody's watching. Always. And they are very harsh critics. Most could only puzzle over what the heck they were watching.

We just pray they're not collaborating on an actual music video now.

And poor Adriana: When she got home, even her dogs were judging her.

Construction workers probably find lots of things when they're on the job digging. Forgotten toys, old coins, maybe even some cool fossils. But one thing they probably do not expect to find is A BEAR THAT IS ALIVE. That's exactly what happened when a team of men in Bolu, Turkey who were on the job working on a septic tank.

In the video, you can see the workers drilling away at a large concrete structure, which is evidently the septic tank that trapped the bear. Thought it's hard to tell whether or not they were digging the bear out intentionally or if they stumbled across him while on site, one this is for certain: that bear was mad. I would be too, if I was suddenly forced to go into hibernation in a very smelly place.

According to United Press International, the bear had fallen into the septic tank accidentally, while chasing chickens on a farm in Ericek. The video was actually captured in 2015, but was only uploaded to YouTube recently.

As the robotic arm of the truck pokes through the concrete, you can see the very upset bear make several attempts to climb out of the hole. Eventually, they're able to make a big enough hole that the bear can climb out and run off into the woods. Be free big fella.

You can watch the rescue unfold here:

Kanye West was released this week from UCLA Medical Center, where he took eight days to recuperate after canceling the rest of his Saint Pablo tour in the wake of several on-stage meltdowns. An insider said he had been suffering from "paranoia" and was under "constant watch" as doctors treated him.

Now, a sources has told TMZ that there is a possible explanation for West's erratic and at times disturbing behavior: a sudden shift in medication. According to these individuals, the rapper has "psychological issues" for which he takes unspecified drugs, but that he either stopped taking some of his pills or otherwise deviated from the prescribed dosage or schedule. They said "the biggest changes" came after his wife Kim Kardashian was robbed of millions of dollars worth of jewelry in Paris, also causing West to cut a concert short.

As several outlets have reported, Kanye still hasn't returned home after stabilizing somewhat; instead he's living in a rented house, apart from Kim and their children North and Saint, while receiving outpatient treatment. "Now that he is out of the hospital and not under 24/7 watch," he will once again need to regulate his medication for himself, the Guardian noted. No doubt he'll also benefit, as will we all, from finally getting free of the cursed year 2016.

A situation went from bad to worse for 20-year-old student Lan Cai after a drunk driver hit her car this summer, breaking two bones in her back. That's because the law firm she hired to help her sort out insurance and damages, Tuan A. Khuu & Associates, turned out not to have a clue what they were doing.

She described the lawyers' unprofessional, unhelpful, and bizarre behavior—including entering her bedroom while she was asleep in her underwear—in a June 30 post on Facebook, and additionally took to Yelp to air grievances.

But the lawyers evidently couldn't stand having that negative feedback out there for any potential customers to read, so they started threatening Cai.

"It has come to my attention that you have posted some dispariging [sic] words on your Facebook account," wrote Tuan A. Khuu attorney Keith Nguyen in an email to Cai, according to the Houston Press. "If you do not remove the post from Facebook and any other social media sites, my office will have no choice but to file suit.” Cai didn't budge and deleted nothing she'd written, so Nguyen did indeed file suit for libel, seeking anywhere from $100,000 and $200,000 in the case—and this from a "waitress working six days a week to pay her way through nursing school at Houston Community College."

Luckily, justice prevailed: Cai's new lawyer, Michael Fleming, took her case pro bono, arguing that her reviews were both true and not all that different from other existing reviews of the law firm. A judge threw the suit out altogether and ordered Khuu & Associates to pay $26,831.55 in attorneys' fees.

The best part, though? Now people who had never even heard of these free-speech-hating lawyers before Cai's story got out are bombarding their Yelp page with one-star takedowns. Think they've learned their lesson yet?

It's OK—I'm sure they'll still get plenty of clients who never use the internet.

Twitter user @morgxmarie, apparently sick of the ruckus going on over her head, had finally had enough. So she wrote a strongly-worded note to the guys living a floor over her, telling them in no uncertain terms that their constant nighttime clomping was not appreciated.

A risky move? Sure—but when your sleep is at risk, anything's worth a shot. What @morgxmarie would come to regret more than the abrasive tone of the letter itself, though, was that sarcastically rhetorical question in her postscript: "If you're selling tickets to the 2 a.m. basketball games let us know."

Because it turns out they were.

So, is this the start of a beautiful friendship, or... ?

Hey, you'll never win if you don't show up to the court. Ball is life.

Cast members Kate Mckinnon and Aidy Bryant were joined by host Emma Stone on the latest SNL for a song about the savior that helps make women's lives easier each holiday season: a Christmas Candle.

Likening their savior to the guy who's the reason for all of Christianity (that's Jesus), a Christmas Candle is the cheap candle all women have sitting in the back of their closet, that they can shamelessly repurpose for an office yankee swap, or in the event their friend unexpectedly brings a gift to brunch. And boy do they give it up for the candle.

It seems strange that these types of last-minute re-gifting items are something that all women seem to have, but men don't. Perhaps it's because men simply care less about social morays and don't feel as much emotional guilt for letting people down as women. But the truth is, most people would rather receive nothing than a candle that has never not had a thick layer of dust on it. That won't stop us from giving a dumb candle to people we don't care about for the rest of time, though.

The truth the sketch nails is that without fail, every year we run out of energy to care about needless holiday gift giving. And that's why Christmas Candles are so great. You won't look like a Scrooge, and while most people will probably be able to tell you put in minimal energy, you're not close enough to them to care.

The 80's style aesthetic of the video combined with McKinnon, Bryant and Stone's killer fur jackets, will put you in the mood to not sweat the small stuff this holiday season, and instead turn to the one thing you know to be true: The Christmas Candle.

Watch the video and enjoy the heck out of Aidy Bryant's commitment, here:

Has Hillary Clinton just been wandering the woods of Chappaqua, NY since the election? Saturday on SNL, they interpreted the numerous accounts from Clinton supporters who have come across her in the wild, as the latest in mythological sightings.

In a Ghost Hunters or Urban Legends-inspired sketch, two lore hunters are looking for what they deem "the most elusive legend of all": Hillary Clinton.

The documentary-style video takes us to the home of a woman (Vanessa Bayer) who claims she saw Clinton while she was washing the dishes. While showing the lore hunters the footage she captured on her phone (of Clinton running away), she describes what she saw: "it was blonde, it was 5' 6", it seemed like it kind of wanted some time to itself, so I immediately started running after it."

Complete with overly-dramatic reenactment scenes, the sketch does a great job of leverage stylistic details from these types of shows to make funny points about Hillary Clinton's life post-election. The fact that people keep taking and posting photos with Clinton was touching at first, but at this point it's probably really tiring for the poor woman. Just as Bayer's character said, she probably wants to be left alone. But obviously we care more about ourselves than we do about a woman who is being forced to accept the fact that winning the popular vote by millions doesn't change a damn thing.

In a final attempt to locate Clinton, our lore hunters track down the Chappaqua shaman (Kenan Thompson), to ask him where she's hiding. After communing with the spirits he tells them, "She's buying eggs at a grocery store." This simple statement is yet another great reveal that Hillary Clinton is just trying to live her life and reconcile with the aftermath of the election like everyone else.

Watch the "Hunt For Hil" here to experience the thrill of looking for a Clinton sighting in the wild:

Now that Donald Trump is really, actually, presumably going to become the leader of the free world, it's important that we never let him enjoy it. And so far, the most successful troll on this front has been Alec Baldwin, whose puckered impression of the president-elect for Saturday Night Live has caused the thin-skinned, TV-fixated Trump no end of annoyance and embarrassment.

Time and again, Trump has angrily tweeted that SNL is unfunny, unfair, and unwatchable—he's called for the 41-year-old series to be canceled at least once—but it also seems he just can't stop tuning in. After Baldwin's latest sketch, which mocked his itchy Twitter fingers and inability to pay attention to anything else, Trump took the bait and did just what you'd expect: he tweeted.

How do we know Trump's feelings were especially hurt? Well, if he'd been in a better mood, he'd have definitely put an exclamation point after his trademark "Sad." And all he really did was give Baldwin another chance to needle him.

If Trump really wanted them to quit making fun of his incompetent administration, though, there's a pretty easy way: Resign!

Given that America elected an unrepentant bigot to the White House, it makes sense that various prejudices and systemic injustices suffered across races, orientations, or genders, are on everyone's mind. Which may be why Serena Williams, the greatest tennis player alive and possibly ever, took to Instagram with a lengthy message of support for women battling a sexist society.

Touching on issues like professional achievement, recognition, and equal pay, Williams said she hoped we could change the parts of our culture that discourage women from choosing their own path. "For me, it was a question of resilience," she wrote. "What others marked as flaws or disadvantages about myself—my race, my gender—I embraced as fuel for my success." In her caption for the call to solidarity, she wrote, "Stay encouraged Sisters."

Is it too soon for this superstar to think about becoming the next president?

You know that old movie trope where a guy gets thrown in prison and meets his new cellmate and asks, "So, what are you in for?" Well, try for a second to imagine that the reply you got was: "I wanted to pet my neighbors' cat."

This is indeed the strange tale of Florida man Jasper Fiorenza, who twice entered the St. Petersburg home of Brittney Cline,​ and has been charged with burglary. But it didn't seem he was out to steal anything besides some love from Cline's cat. She said that in the first incident, she woke up to find Fiorenza standing at the foot of her bed: “He was standing perfectly still, I said ‘hello’ and when I said hello he dropped very slowly down to the ground. And as soon as I saw the shadow move down to the ground I knew somebody was there.”

When she turned on her light, she saw him crouched and petting the cat, which had woken her up by jumping off the bed when Fiorenza entered the room. "I’m panicked of course," she said. "I said, ‘What are you doing, get out of my house,’ and he looked at me very calmly and said 'hey' [and] turned around walked back to my doorway." Mission accomplished, apparently.

Police only caught Fiorenza when he tried to break in a second time—no doubt to see if he could play with the cat some more, or even rub its belly. Sadly, most prisons have a strict no-pets policy, but maybe he can get some visiting hours.

Last night on SNL's "Weekend Update," Vanessa Bayer brought back her "What! Oh!"-tastic impression of Rachel from Friends to discuss the trend of TV reboots that trade on '90s nostalgia. With the haircut, the overalls, and the slightly clenched delivery, she was once again hard to tell apart from the real McCoy. Until, of course, Jennifer Aniston—who co-stars with Bayer in the upcoming Office Christmas Party—showed up to critique the bit.

But in trying to get Bayer to drop the impression, Aniston starts sounding a lot like the beloved sitcom character herself. The result is a Rachel vs. Rachel bout that's music to the ears of anyone who wants to go back to the 20th century.

Bayer later tweeted photos of Aniston helping her get into the role.

Man, I don't know why, but all of the sudden I'm really craving some coffee.

Life is hard no matter your gender, but for some men, it'd be just a little bit easier if social conventions provided them with more options for fancy shampoo. The following men and women recently took to Reddit to name the one thing about the opposite gender that makes them jealous, and let's just say that nobody's perfect.

1. Tuck away this notion from amarstranger786, uh, somewhere. Like a purse, which women are forced to carry, basically.

I can't tell you how disappointing it is, as a woman, to find a pair of pants that fit perfectly and make your ass look great and then realize it has no pockets. Or, even worse, fake pockets. It's just cruel.

2. Go for it, gronkspike25, just be prepared to be objectified at the gym.

I wish I could wear yoga pants. They look so comfortable

3. It's true, newgirlintown7, men don't think twice about wearing the exact same outfit as yesterday.

No one will ask or care if they wear the same outfit to work for two days straight.

4. This guy named thatlldopug has obviously never heard of kilts, though. Or rejecting outmoded constructs of gender.

Skirts, think of all that ball room

5. Men don't even know how good they've got it, says spacedads. They never have to buy a product called "Lash Plumpers."

Men have longer eyelashes and they don't even care

6. Well, we think you smell fantastic, ChainsForAlice.

The fact that women have all these amazing body washes, shampoos and conditioners marketed for them. GF always gives me an odd look when i go out and buy a handful, What's wrong with smelling amazing and a little bit coconuty?

7. Well, doctorstephanie, women can, but it tends to be a little unpredictable.

Men can pee standing up.

8. Good luck, Douwe_KB!

The luck of not touching the inside of your toilet with your private parts when youre sitting on the toilet.

9. Well, uh, enitsirhcnagem, like, good? Yeah?

I just like, really wanna know what a blowjob feels like.

10. A guy named lumphie has a bone to pick.

Women can be turned on without a chance of other people noticing. I have to hide that rock hard thing down there, that's frustrating.

11. Danger_Possum has something she'd like to get off her chest.

Men can run downstairs - or even just run - without the need of a small country's worth of cloth, three days' preparation, and a small winch truck to support the girls.

There's a reason women do the velociraptor arms over their chests when they run. Bouncing's a bitch.

12. Dude, Ihateregistering6, just loosen your tie. But only a little. All better!

I had to go to an outdoor wedding in California a few months ago. It was almost 100 degrees out. I was wearing a tux, my girlfriend was wearing a short dress with spaghetti straps.

Needless to say, I was insanely jealous.

13. A thing that sucks about being a woman, from somecallmenonny? Hair it is.

Not being expected or pressured to shave your legs.

14. Can you hear what johnyann is saying? Yes, if you're a woman (if his obscure but fascinating science is correct).

Women are dominating the sound-design field because they on average have better hearing than men. Many believe it's an evolutionary trait, which gave them better sensitivity in the recognition frequencies at around 7kHz so they could hear the cry of their kids.

Regardless, as someone working in the audio industry, Im jealous as fuck. I've spent 10 years training my ear, and even then, the women in my field put me to shame.

15. Oh, this one from flexthrustmore is sad because society is broken and there are a lot of evil dudes out there.

I had a friend who studied early child care right out of school and then got a job in a child care center, he stuck it out for a year and then went back to uni to re train as a High School teacher. Not because of the job, he told me he loved it and would have been happy to stay there pretty much forever, the reason was the constant suspicion he got from parents questioning why he was there and why a man would choose that job, basically passive aggressively accusing him of being a pedophile.

16. TealApostropeC thinks of the thing she hates about being a woman every month or so.

Not having periods. I could really do without that monthly hell.
