Back in July, Leslie Jones and much of the world became aware of an alt-right troll by the name of Milo Yiannopoulos when he "rallied and directed" hundreds of racist trolls against the Ghostbusters star. Eventually, Twitter banned the Breitbart editor from their platform.

But as recently as Friday, Milo Yiannopoulos was still a tolerated member of society—or at least the media—and appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher. The host welcomed him warmly (Larry Wilmore did not). He was also slated as the keynote speaker of "prominent conservative event" hosted by the American Conservative Union and had a book deal worth $250,000 from Simon & Schuster.

Over the weekend, the fall of Yiannopoulos began. As much of the conservative world finally caught up with common sense, they began to ex-communicate him. This had nothing to do with his racist, transphobic, sexist, or white nationalist actions.

Instead, it was Milo Yiannapoulos' comments condoning pedophilia that finally caused the Conservative Political Action Conference to cancel the Brietbart editor's speaking invitation. His ridiculously lucrative book deal with Simon & Schuster went the same way.

Because Leslie Jones is associated with some of Milo Yiannopoulos' darkest moments, people likely expected her to respond to the latest developments from her once-tormenter. But she did so only briefly. Because while some of the world may have just caught on to the "unapologetic alt-right idiot," Jones has known since July.

Since splitting with JLo, everyone has one question for Drake—when are you going to admit that you are in love with Rihanna and have been all along?

The saga of Drake and Rihanna's relationship seems never ending, as the two entertainers have coyly been on-again/off-again for years without ever making their relationship officially official. Though Drake was recently connected to Jennifer Lopez, the two have called it quits and people were wondering if the "Love on the Brain" singer had anything to do with the split. Fans may have gotten the confirmation they were seeking when, during a concert in Dublin, Ireland on Monday, Drake stopped everything to send Rihanna a very special message for her 29th birthday.

And so the saga continues...

"It’s somebody’s birthday today — somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for," said Drake. "So, instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ we’re going to set it off just like this…"

The artist then launched into "Work"—one of the many songs the couple has collaborated on.

Now when are these two going to collaborate on an actual relationship?

George Clooney is finally talking about his wife Amal's pregnancy. Her pregnancy was announced earlier this month (she's having twins, because she doesn't want Beyoncé to have all the fun), but it wasn't until this interview on Sunday with French show Rencontres de Cinema that the 55-year-old dad-to-be opened up.

Interviewer Laurent Weil brought up George Clooney's next role: fatherhood. In response, George Clooney said, "We are really happy and really excited. It's going to be an adventure. . . We've sort of embraced it all…with arms wide open, so we're excited."

He related the story of telling their friends about the pregnancy. He explained that his friends his age have kids who are already grown up. He said they were all very supportive, telling him how wonderful it be, and then, "It got really quiet. And they all just started making baby crying noises, and the whole table just busted up laughing."

Lindsay Lohan says she was racially profiled after wearing a headscarf to the Heathrow Airport in England. Lohan appeared on Good Morning Britain and told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid about the incident in her weird accent.

"When I was flying to New York recently I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped at the airport and was racially profiled for the first time in my life. [The agent] opened my passport and saw Lindsay Lohan and started apologizing but said, 'Take off your headscarf.'"

Although Lohan complied with the request, it got her thinking about the women who would not feel comfortable removing their headscarves for religious reasons.

"What scared me was that moment, how would another woman who doesn’t feel comfortable taking off her headscarf feel? That was really interesting to me. I was kind of in shock."

Lohan was returning from a trip to Turkey where she had met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In the interview, she also discusses possibly converting to Islam, saying the religion "a family" to her. She is in the process of reading the Quran, and is learning Arabic to better communicate with the Syrian refugees she aids through her activism work, though she has not officially decided to convert to the religion yet.

In a stand-up set Saturday night at Los Angeles' Regent Theater, writer/director/producer Judd Apatow likened Donald Trump's surprise election win to being raped. According to The Daily Beast, Apatow (Bridesmaids, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and most recently, Crashing) started off his comedy set by saying that he felt like “a person about to get raped, but I didn’t know how bad it would be." He added, “I feel like I’ve just been raped and I just don’t know if I’m going to get murdered.”

The audience reportedly applauded, but not everyone thought Apatow's joke about being raped was funny.

According to Page Six, Fox News requested a comment on the issue but hasn't heard back from Apatow.

The celebrity gossip world has been abuzz recently with rumors that musical artists/beautiful people Jennifer Lopez and Drake are dating.

Exhibit A: This Instagram.

That's pretty much the only exhibit.

HOWEVER, that one tiny shred of evidence has been keeping us up at night wondering if Drake and J. Lo are actually an item. I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN WEEKS.

Luckily, Ellen Degeneres has taken it upon herself to get to the bottom of those dating rumors once and for all. She had Jennifer Lopez on her show Tuesday, and wasn't afraid to ask her the tough questions.

When asked about Drake, Jennifer Lopez replied, "We did a song together, if that's what you're asking."

But Ellen Degeneres does not quit, and she continued to pry into J. Lo's relationship with Drake. You can watch their whole interview below.

Yeah. Still no clear answer. HOW MUCH LONGER MUST I GO WITHOUT SLEEP?

CNN anchor Don Lemon got salty on the air this weekend when a panelist on his show took a page out of President Trump's book and accused the network of spreading "fake news." Paris Dennard, who was President George W. Bush's Director of Black Outreach, invoked the phrase during a discussion of the cost to American taxpayers of protecting Trump and his family during their frequent vacations (a cost which, in Trump's first month in office, has nearly totaled as much as the first year of Obama's administration).

All of the panelists were immediately rankled by Dennard's use of the phrase (which is widely interpreted as an attack on the free press), but Lemon seemed to take it personally–no surprise, considering that CNN is Trump's favorite target. The anchor pointed out that Dennard agreed to appear on the segment knowing that this was the topic of discussion, and gave him a chance to explain further without using the FN-phrase. When Dennard immediately used it again, Lemon cut him off and ended the segment entirely. And just like that, a viral video was born.

This post on Reddit really brings home how often tall people must get asked questions (and the same questions) by strangers. The picture, posted by Redditor NewtonJesse, shows an extraordinarily tall man standing in front of the business card he apparently gives out to people who ask him about his height.

The text along with the post says, "I said, 'How tall are you?" He handed me this business card." The business card reads,

Yes, I am tall

I am 6'10"

(No, I'm not kidding. Yes, that is tall)

No, I do not play basketball

I play volleyball

Yes, seeing the tops of everyones head is weird.

Yes, the weather is nice up here.

This has been a great conversation.

Reading through the comments on the Reddit post, it seems that this tall dude is not the first one to come up with the idea of having business cards printed up to answer strangers' inquiries. A Redditor named MK2555GSFX wrote,

I'm 6'7", and I get sent links to various versions of this business card almost as often as I get comments about my height.

That's fine, though. These business cards should be standard issue for everyone over 6'2".

A Kansas chiropractor has an idea for all the bleeding, leaking women out there: keep your lips shut.

Your other lips.

Daniel Dopps of Wichita is the man (of course) behind the invention that nobody needs or wants: a "lipstick" that seals the labia up and comes undone when you pee.

The product is called Mensez, pronounced "menses," and the pitch is truly ridiculous.

Have you ever woke up with your lips stuck together? It didn’t hurt and it was kinda fun. All you had to do was to wet your lips from the inside with saliva and they became unstuck. This is the principle behind Mensez.

Mensez is a natural combination of amino acids and oil in a lipstick applicator that is applied to the lips downunder during the period. It causes them to stick together, strong enough to prevent leakage, that is until the user urinates. The urine instantly unsticks the labia and allows everything to wash out into the toilet.

This product is really real. A patent was granted on January 10th, but has yet to hit the market.

Dopps told Forbes “we’re just introducing the concept” to the public, but the public has a lot of concerns:

Other questions include: What risk of infection is there for in sealing in fluids? How can you be sure that urine dissolves the seal? Does this dude know the difference between the urethra and the vagina?

Dopps got defensive, saying "it will be thoroughly tested and improved."

People on the now-deleted Facebook page accused Dopps of being a misogynist, and said that a man shouldn't make menstrual products without the basic knowledge of female anatomy.

He responded by making things worse:

“[Y]ou as a woman should have come up with a better solution than diapers and plugs, but you didn’t. Reason being women are focused on and distracted by your period 25% of the time, making them far less productive than they could be. Women tend to be far more creative than men, but their periods that [sic] stifle them and play with their heads," he wrote.

As someone joked on the Facebook page, he should use his product to glue his mouth shut.

After a 6-foot long goanna wandered into Mimosa Wines & Drystone Restaurant in New South Wales, Australia on Sunday, waitress Samia Lila took it upon herself to escort the giant reptile out of the building by dragging it by it's tail. Someone get this girl a raise.

Lila, a 25-year-old woman who is on a working holiday from France, told The Huffington Post that at first she mistook the goanna for a dog. Once she realized it was one of the large (but mostly harmless) reptiles indigenous to the area, she dragged it away from customers. However, she was careful not to do the lizard any harm.

“I like reptiles. I think he is a really beautiful creature,” she said. “I didn’t want to hurt him.”

What Lila doesn't like, ironically, are spiders.

“She scans for them [and] can spot a daddy long legs at 40 meters,” Lila's boss, Glen Butson, toldABC News.“But she had no fear at all of that goanna."

In October, James Charles moved from the world of viral fame to the world of brand diplomacy when he became CoverGirl's first ever CoverBoy.

The cosmetica company lauded Charles as a "boundary-breaker" who would "fearlessly express" himself. However, nearly three months later, CoverGirl was forced to distance itself from one of the 17-year-old's tweets joking about ebola.

He quickly deleted the offensive comment, but not before the quick-fingered internet could take a screenshot.

"'I can't believe we're going to Africa today omg what if we get Ebola?'" wrote Charles. "'James we're fine we could've gotten it at Chipotle last year'...."

The backlash was swift and obvious. Besides being an insensitive, reductive, massively stupid statement, the World Health Organisation cleared Africa of ebola over a year ago.

Fellow CoverGirl ambassador, Zendaya, shared her "mood" as the drama unfolded.

Naturally, CoverGirl went into full damage control mode:

James Charles originally posted a PR-provided apology ("I take full responsibility and will learn and do better") that he soon deleted, in favor of a less polished mea culpa in which he accidentally referred to Africa as a country.

Charles would continue his apology in an interview with Affinity Mag, in which he seemed to use that foolish mistake to prove his sincerity.

I hope that my apology, which openly admitted to originally posting a BS PR apology, and contained a mistake calling Africa a country instead of a continent (proving that no 3rd party proof read it), comes off as sincere and real. It was straight from me, and I feel awful.

People talk about actually having sex a lot, but no one really ever talks about what happens in the immediate aftermath. That is, until now. The hashtag #ThingsISayAfterSex started trending on Twitter recently. It might make you think twice about sleeping with anyone who has a Twitter account.

1. This one is too real.

2. You never know when you'll need to network.

3. A little taste of their own medicine won't hurt them.

4. Always working on that personal brand.

5. *Awkward silence*

6. Again, networking is key.

7. When you notice there's someone else in the room.

8. Honestly, any one of these is fitting.

9. It's like hearing the voices of angels.

10. Ah, the age-old question.

11. They will be impressed to know you paid attention in 8th grade science.

12. Sex is just like a Pokémon battle. Right?

13. And perhaps the most fitting of them all...

Billy Flynn is an attorney, model, and dad in Boston. In his spare time (what little of it exists), he enjoys going viral with heartfelt Facebook posts about the struggles and joys of being a divorced dad of two young boys. Recently, he wrote a post on just that topic that was shared by the popular Facebook page Love What Matters. That post is now blowing up, because its message really resonates with people who are tired of hearing only the negative about life as a single parent.

Flynn's post reads:

It's my ex-wife's birthday today so I got up early and brought flowers and cards and a gift over for the kids to give her and helped them make her breakfast. Per usual someone asked me why the hell I still do things for her all the time. This annoys me. So ima break it down for you all.

I'm raising two little men. The example I set for how I treat their mom is going to significantly shape how they see and treat women and affect their perception of relationships. I think even more so in my case because we are divorced. So if you aren't modeling good relationship behavior for your kids, get your shit together. Rise above it and be an example. This is bigger than you.

Raise good men. Raise strong women. Please. The world needs them, now more than ever.

In less than two weeks, Flynn's post has exploded. It currently has more than 700,000 likes, and more than 200,000 shares. Commenters have been coming forward with their own similar stories, some of which are racking up tens of thousands of likes themselves.

Of course, trolls also showed up to criticize his parenting skills—that happens to everything on the internet that gets big enough. But Flynn has been online for a while, and is not fazed. He posted a response on his own page, telling his fans to stand down.

Hey guys, I appreciate everyone who is messaging me about defending me in comments on all these reposts but honestly its not worth engaging and bringing negativity into your life. Nobody wins when you get emotionally invested with idiots.

When you force people to look in a mirror and question themselves its always going to be easier for them to discredit you than to consider they might be wrong, especially when changing requires effort and setting yourself aside. Fuck em. You're above their crap, save yourself the aggravation. I'm used to this shit, no worries.

This dad is a class act. Way to go!

Emma Hulse, 24, says she was fired from her freelance TV production job for being too good-looking. Wait—before you say she made that up, just know: the company that hired her, UNIT TV, has actually confirmed it, according to the London Evening Standard.

Hulse claims she was fired just five minutes into an eight-hour shift by a manager who told her, "You should be on a catwalk" and then asked for her phone number.

She told the Standard,

We were supposed to finish at 6pm and I got there for [sic] 9.30am and when I got there this other runner started explaining to me what I should do. Then they send me on a run. Then my agent text [sic] me that I’m no longer required.

I got there and spoke to the line manager and he asked me, "are you a model? Are you not doing catwalks, why are you not at the front of house?"

I was wearing a lipstick but from my perspective I was not inappropriate. I was wearing a shirt and trousers. I really didn’t think I looked inappropriate.

Then he took my number, he suggested we go for a drink.

I was quite disappointed to be sent home. I didn’t really know what to do.

Hulse added, “I do camera operating as well, I work for many different companies and no one has sent me home because of the way I look. Especially within a creative agency you should be free to wear what you want.”

Wow. Apparently being ridiculously hot isn't always all it's cracked up to be.

Adam Luckwell, the owner of UNIT TV, told the Standard that the manager who made the remarks to Emma Hulse was fired. He explained,

“We found there were a number of things we were not happy with. We decided not to continue with the employment and terminated the contract within three months. We felt he was a bad fit for us and some of the things he was doing was not in line with the company’s policy."

Between Hermione and Belle,Emma Watson is Hollywood's go-to girl for heroines who love to read. But ever since the cartoon Beauty and the Beast's release, people have been speculating that the tale is less of a romance as a psychological thriller about a woman in captivity who falls for her captor.

Asked about her take on Belle and the Beast's relationship, Emma Watson responded with her thoroughly well-researched take.

“It’s such a good question and it’s something I really grappled with at the beginning; the kind of Stockholm Syndrome question about this story,” she says. “That’s where a prisoner will take on the characteristics of and fall in love with the captor. Belle actively argues and disagrees with [Beast] constantly. She has none of the characteristics of someone with Stockholm Syndrome because she keeps her independence, she keeps that freedom of thought.”

While Belle is imprisoned early in Beauty and the Beast, Watson points out that she was not afraid to talk back and plot her escape.

Watson argues that Belle and Beast's story is, in fact, more progressive than traditional "love at first sight" fairy tales.

“Beast and Belle begin their love story really irritating each other and really not liking each other very much. They build a friendship, slowly, slowly, slowly, and very slowly that builds to them falling in love,” she explains. “They are having no illusions about who the other one is. They have seen the worst of one another, and they also bring out the best.”

Girl meets Beast, Girl rebels against Beast, Girl befriends Beast, Girl and Beast fall in love is a tale as old as time.

20-year-old model Alexis Ren has just gone on an all-time Twitter rant that proves the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like an Instagram model scorned." Months after breaking up with her boyfriend, model Jay Alvarrez, Ren decided the time was ripe to answer all her Twitter followers' questions about what a "fuckboy" he was. And she didn't pull any punches.

Ren first became an internet sensation in 2015, when Alvarrez posted a video of their tropical vacation on YouTube, and it went viral.

Two years later, she has eight million Instagram followers. From her pics, it's not hard to see why she's so popular.

You might be wondering why Alvarrez would let her slip away. Well don't worry, Ren was more than happy to explain further on Twitter.

Things got much worse from there.

Damn! That is brutal.

If he wasn't already regretting breaking up with a world-famous bikini model, he is now. This isn't good publicity. Meanwhile, she's doing great.

Donald Trump can hardly speak one language, but thanks to Nyle DiMarco, you'll be able to quote the president's most-used Twitter phrases in two. DiMarco, who won America's Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars, was born deaf and often takes to social media to teach his fans American Sign Language (ASL) as well as educate them about deaf culture. (P.S. The sexually fluid model is also really hot.)

Nyle noticed that many of his followers are requesting lessons on Trump's, uh, "creative" vocabulary. Well, ask and ye shall receive, folks. Nyle walks us through how to sign all the hits including "Make America great again!" "fake news," and, of course "SAD!"

Nyle DiMarco openly supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. During a gala for the Human Rights Campaign last year, DiMarco even joked that he was especially thankful for being deaf during the race.

"For me and for many of us, it is an advantage and it’s a part of my identity in fact. It’s a huge part of who I am," he added. "In this very turbulent political year, trust me, don’t you want to sometimes just turn the volume off completely when Donald Trump starts to rant?"

Hey, Nyle. Is there a sign for bigly?

Cate Blanchett graced a benefit show at The Stonewall Inn in New York City on Monday with an inspiring lip-sync performance of Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Own Me."

Beauty. Grace. Flawless makeup. I have chills.

In addition to slaying "You Don't Own Me," Blanchett also took the stage for a parody version of Adele's "Hello." Fittingly, she was wearing a pink pussy hat.

Who needs Lip Sync Battlewhen you have Cate Blanchett at a drag show? (No offense, Jimmy Fallon.)
