Here's what Tiffany Trump, forgotten First Daughter, is supposedly doing with her life.

According to The Washington Post,Tiffany Trump just might be joining the family business.

The "Like A Bird" singer and recent Penn grad joined her brothers in Vancouver for the opening of a Trump-branded hotel. It was there that Donald Trump, Jr. said that the family's non-Ivanka daughter is joining "the organization."

He meant "the organization" as in "The Trump Organization," which makes the Trump clan sound even more like a Mafia family.

The last we heard from Tiff was that she was planning on becoming a lawyer, and was spotted touring Harvard Law School.

Perhaps she's hoping to join the Trump Organization's legal department, which has been very busy over the past three decades with 4,095 lawsuits.

Or maybe Tiffany Trump is jumping into the real estate biz as an attempt to make her dad remember who she is. She was not raised by her father, and Daddy Donald recently said that he is proud of her "to a lesser extent" than his other kids. For real.

Joining the family business might make people stop sympathizing with her as the "forgotten First Daughter," as Twitter reactions suggest.

However, if Tiffany becomes full Trump in both name and occupation, it might become even harder for her to find people to sit with at Fashion Week.


Uber CEO apologizes after dashcam video of him berating driver over 'responsibility' goes viral.

Embattled Uber CEO Travis Kalanick issued an apology on Tuesday after an embarrassing video of him arguing with an Uber driver went viral. In the dashcam footage, Kalanick can be seen riding in the back of an Uber Black car. As they reach their destination, driver Fawzi Kamel decided to go for it.

Skip to 3:50 for the exchange.

"You're raising the standards, and you're dropping the prices," said Kamel, who lived everyone's rage fantasy and spoke his mind to his company's CEO. "People are not trusting you any more. I lost $97,000 because of you. I'm bankrupt because of you..."

Travis Kalanick responded defensively at first but kept his composure, before becoming agitated and leaving behind any productive conversation.

"Some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit," said the frustrated CEO. "They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!"

He then got out of the car, slamming the door on an Uber driver who proceeded to give his passenger a one star rating, which is low-key hilarious. He also provided the video to Bloomberg.

After Bloomberg published the exchange, Travis Kalanick released the following statement:

By now I’m sure you’ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully. To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead…and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away.

It’s clear this video is a reflection of me—and the criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.

I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.

Kellyanne Conway responds to 'vicious' reaction to that photo of her with her feet on the Oval Office couch.

Kellyanne Conway has finally spoken out about that now infamous picture of her kneeling on the sofa, shoes on, in the White House Oval Office. Speaking to Lou Dobbs on Fox Business Network, Kellyanne Conway said:

I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us, and I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect. I didn't mean to have my feet on the couch.

Hmm. She says she didn't mean to have her feet on the couch. Maybe she lost track of them for a while? Maybe she thought they were someplace else?

It's worth pointing out that Lou Dobbs once criticized President Obama for putting his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office.

Dobbs then goes on to comment about the hypocrisy of the "deplorable" left for criticizing Kellyanne Conway for having her feet on the couch. Conway agrees, saying:

It is venomous. It is vicious. It bothers my children to be frank with you. . . I'm not a victim at all, but people should take very seriously the import of their words. Especially when they know I meant no disrespect.

People, it's up to you to know when Kellyanne Conway does or doesn't mean to be disrespectful. Do better. Remember how no one bothered President Obama for taking his suit jacket off in the Oval Office? Oh, wait.

Restaurant owner writes righteous response to angry Yelp review from 'privileged' customer.

A post going viral on Reddit shows the Yelp review an angry customer left for an oyster bar in St. Louis, MO. The woman had picked the place for her birthday dinner, but claims that her reservation was not honored, her party was made to wait over an hour, and the restaurant was unable to accommodate seating for extra guests who showed up late. If that sounds bad, you should read the response the restaurant owner left for the woman.

She claims she had reservations but was still made to wait two hours. She clearly was not pleased with the service she received, vowed never to return, and included the hashtag "#missedopportunities" at the end of the review. She also blamed it on society (yes, really).

Part one: the initial review.

Does she not know she doesn't need to use a hashtag on Yelp?

Well, the restaurant manager wasn't too pleased with that review. He left his own response, tearing apart the woman's claims and complaints.

Chalking the woman's review up to "alternative facts," the owner proceeded to describe the incident the way he remembered it (including a few ALL CAPS passages). According to his memory of the night, the "privileged" woman was made to wait one and a half hours (not a full two), mainly because the restaurant does not take reservations (meaning the woman could not possibly have had one, as she wrote in her review). He also claims that her guests were sitting in chairs they'd helped themselves to from other tables, and sat smack dab in the middle of the aisles the servers use. He added that he hoped she really never would return, writing, "Guests like you we are happy to do without."

Part two: the owner's response.

It seems the woman wasn't done, though, as she updated her original review. She says no one stayed behind, her daughter was just polite enough to pay for the food she ordered.

Part three: the woman's follow-up (spoiler alert: she's still mad).

She also invokes Jon "Bar Rescue" Taffer in her follow-up Yelp review, although given the reviews this place generally gets on Yelp, it doesn't seem they actually need his help.

Working in a restaurant seems fun, doesn't it?

Woman shares personal photo to explain the consequences of a miscarriage no one talks about.

There's been a lot of talk about the emotional toll having a miscarriage can take, but one woman wants to talk about a consequence that often gets overlooked - the financial costs.

A woman named Janie Faville recently posted a photo to Facebook of the explanation of benefits she received from her insurance company after she suffered a miscarriage.

Because people don't talk about it, I will. This is how much a miscarriage costs with good insurance. THIS is why we need Planned Parenthood.

Posted by Janie Faville on Monday, February 20, 2017

"Because people don't talk about it, I will. This is how much a miscarriage costs with good insurance. THIS is why we need Planned Parenthood," Faville wrote on Facebook.

Faville told SELFthat she has what she believes is "good insurance." She's covered by her employer and has a $1,000 deductible. Even still, the bill for the dilation and curettage procedure she needed as a result of her miscarriage came out to $5,584. She had to pay $1,369.57 of that out of pocket.

Faville said the fact that women have to "pay" for miscarriages wasn't something she'd ever thought about before having one herself. "It wasn’t something that necessarily blindsided me, but it was another thing to have to deal with as you’re moving forward in your process of grief," she told SELF.

"I kept thinking about people who are so financially strained that [the cost of a miscarriage] could make them lose their house or their apartment or their car or transportation," she continued. "Or they would have to choose between that and food."

Faville said that since sharing the photo of her EOB on both her personal Facebook page and in the group Pantsuit Nation, she's heard from several women who were either shocked at the cost of the procedure or had gone through the same thing themselves.

She told SELF she hopes that women will continue sharing their stories and that legislators will hear them.

"I hope women continue to be comfortable enough to share those stories not only on Pantsuit Nation, but also to their representatives," Faville said. "If we do repeal and replace the ACA, we need to keep the pieces of the ACA that make delivering a child—either a miscarriage or a live birth—affordable and realistic for women."

Ryan Murphy, the man behind all of your guilty pleasure TV shows including American Horror Story, Glee, and Scream Queens, has just announced his plans for season two of his new show Feud that examines, you guessed it, famous feuds.

Although season one of the show does not even premiere on FX until March 5th, the network already ordered another season of the series. Season one is all about the rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and when discussing the future of the show, Ryan Murphy told The Hollywood Reporterthat he didn't want to do another woman on woman feud, nor a Hollywood story. Well, Murphy kept his word and announced that season two of Feud will be about Princess Diana's famous divorce from Prince Charles.

JUICY.

The second season is coming in 2018, but that is all the information available at this time.

We only have one question: who is Jessica Lange going to play?

Brad Pitt texted Jennifer Aniston about his divorce.

It appears that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are speaking again in the wake of his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Page Sixreports that the two reconnected recently when Pitt texted Aniston to wish her a happy birthday on February 11. A source told Page Six that the former couple's exchanges have just been "friendly back and forth, nothing more than that."

According to Us Weekly, Brad Pitt has been talking to Jennifer Aniston about his divorce from Angelina Jolie. “Brad told her he’s having a hard time with his split and they exchanged a few texts reminiscing about the past,” a source told the magazine.

Ooooh, they're reminiscing about the past. WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!

Probably nothing. Another source shot down any of Page Six's hopes of a romantic reunion.

“It isn’t romantic at all, they are friends again," the source said. "They made it seem like Brad was running after Jen, and that isn’t true. It is nothing more than they are back in touch with each other.”

Also, let's not forget that Jennifer Aniston is still happily married to Justin Theroux. LET THE WOMAN LIVE.

'Beauty and the Beast' will feature Disney's first openly gay character. It's not the Beast.

Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast movie doesn't hit theaters for two more long weeks. But the heavily-anticipated movie just gave us another reason to count down the minutes until its arrival: one of the characters will be Disney's very first openly gay character.

But let's not go making assumptions about which character.

Nope.

Also nope. Sorry.

In an interview with Attitude magazine, Director Bill Condon revealed that Gaston's goofy sidekick LeFou, played by Josh Gad, is gay. In case your memory is hazy, this is LeFou:

“LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,” said Condon. “He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it.”

It sounds like the director didn't simplify or glamorize LeFou's story or play into stereotypes, though we'll have to watch the movie to find out.

Condon also teased that LeFou's story might have a pretty happy ending. “That’s what has its payoff at the end, which I don’t want to give away,” he said. “But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”

Big ups to Disney for finally catching up to what the rest of us have known for a long time: LGBT people exist. And statistically, at least one out of every ten characters in a Disney movie should fall somewhere under that LGBTQ umbrella.

Although to be fair, there have been loads of gay characters in Disney movies. They just haven't been "out" per se.

I can’t wait to set you up with all the people I decided not to date.

This morning, CNN senior producer Josiah Daniel Ryan shared a photo of the cover of Hollywood Reporter's latest issue about CNN's "New War" [vs. Donald Trump's administration]. The cover features five media heavy hitters: Casey Neistat, Anthony Bourdain, Jake Tapper, W. Kamau Bell and CNN President Jeff Zucker.

“The future of media looks like this,” he wrote. "Proud to be part of this team."

Umm, excuse me, sir. I mean no disrespect, but WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU????

"The future of media looks like" four white guys and a black guy? I mean, I'm glad there is a non-white guy. But also, I can count the number of women in this photo on ZERO hands. If this is the "future of media" we are all in big trouble. And by "we" I mean women like myself who work in media, as well as humanity at large.

Twitter noticed the glaringly tone def tweet and called him out with a string of hilariously on-point memes.

And made some pretty great points.

For just two dollars, lucky strangers wandering around Grand Central Station in New York could seek the wisdom of Emma Watson, which is a damn good deal.

Watson arrived in Grand Central via iPad, escorted around the premises by Vanity Fair's Derek Blasberg. With the magic of FaceTime, Watson dispensed some sage advice on matters ranging from how to spend a day in New York to how to be a good fourth-grade boyfriend.

She came up with a great scheme to announce a pregnancy: sit people down like you're breaking bad news, and then hit 'em with the good news.

The funniest reactions to President Trump's new, not-quite-improved 'Muslim ban 2.'

$

On Wednesday, US government officials began leaking details of President Donald Trump's new, amended executive order banning residents of certain Muslim-majority nations from entering the US. After the original ban was repeatedly struck down in court, Trump and his team spent weeks drafting the new, slightly less extreme order, which he will likely sign in the next few days.

Unlike the hat slogan, this one will need more than one draft to stick.

It reportedly removes Iraq from the list of banned nations, does not exempt Christians, and honors all existing US visas. But despite these concessions, critics online say it's basically the same ban as before—a thinly-veiled excuse to discriminate against Muslims. And because it's the internet, many of those criticisms came in the form of jokes.

The White House had originally planned to release the new order on Wednesday, but reportedly delayed it so they could stretch out the benefit of the surprisingly positive reaction to Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday night. Many commenters reasoned that this clearly undermines the administration's assessment that this ban is urgent to protect Americans from imminent Muslim terror.

Heated internet debate over Garfield's gender reveals that the answer is surprisingly unclear.

Remember Garfield, the cartoon cat who loves lasagna? He recently caused quite the stir amongst the people of the internet over what his gender identity is.

No, I'm not kidding.

The Washington Postreports that Garfield's Wikipedia page had to be put on lockdown after a "60-hour editing war" in which the cartoon cat's gender changed back and forth between "male" and "none."

It all started when Twitter user Virgil Texas dug up an old interview Garfield creator Jim Davis did with Mental Floss back in 2015.

"Dealing with eating and sleeping, being a cat, Garfield is very universal. By virtue of being a cat, really, he’s not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old," Davis said in the interview.

Because of this, Texas declared that Garfield being genderless was "canon" and announced that he had changed the character's Wikipedia page to reflect that.

This launched a furious behind-the-scenes discussion amongst Wikipedia users, with some citing specific moments in the Garfield comics and cartoon series that indicated the cat was of the male gender. (I highly suggest reading through some of the thread. It is truly incredible.)

After much back-and-forth, Garfield's gender was officially listed as male on Wikipedia, citing four comic strips. One of those cited was this comic strip from 1979 in which a vet tells Garfield's owner, Jon, "He's too fat."

PHEW. Glad we got THAT cleared up.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter weighed in on the ruling:

Yes, this is a real thing the internet was arguing about, but sadly, the debate is over—for now.

Guy puts his ex-friend on blast for sending racist, abusive messages to women on Tinder.

It's easy to be a dick on Tinder. But thanks to the internet, it's also easy to publicly call someone out for being a dick on Tinder.

This is the story of a guy named Nick. Like many 24-year-old dudes, he was on Tinder, looking for that sweet, NSA (no strings attached, not National Security Agency) love.

But a guy named Kevin, who went to college with Nick, exposed his former friend for being a racist, abusive jerk to women on the popular dating app. Kevin put Nick on blast in a now-viral Facebook post, which includes screenshots of a conversation between Nick and Kevin's female friend.

The post reads:

i met this guy in college and he seemed like a decent guy, he was nice, friendly, etc. over the weekend, he matched a friend of mine on tinder and they exchanged messages. when she didn’t respond immediately, he lost it and left a bunch of nasty messages. i called him out on it, he denied, and he proceeded to block me on all social media.

sexism and racism takes many forms and it cannot be tolerated.

as a man and POC, we can't let this stand.

He then asked their mutual friends to un-friend him.

The conversation between Kevin's friend and Nick began innocently enough:

"I'm 6'2" and I work out" is a red flag for potential dickitude. But it got much worse, quickly. Nick became verbally abusive and racist when the woman (understandably) stopped responding to his texts.

This is messed up on so many levels.

Since sharing the original post, Kevin said he had heard from other women who'd had similar experiences with the same guy. He posted screenshots from a conversation between Nick and a different woman:

Inspired by Kevin's post, another woman shared her own Nick story on Facebook. She wrote:

OH MY GOD I AM SCREAMINGGGG

When you see all these "tinder nightmare" posts and articles and suddenly you actually know the person that just had their ass absolutely handed to them on a silver platter

This is 100% nothing new for this dude. He's repeatedly pushed boundaries with myself and people I know, sending unsolicited nudes more than once like NAHHH man...

In conclusion: Do not swipe right on this guy.

P.S. Dudes and not-dudes, do not be a jerk on Tinder or anywhere else because THE INTERNET IS WATCHING, y'all.

PwC accountants responsible for Best Picture mix-up will never work the Oscars again.

The two PwC accountants responsible for the very awkward La La Land and Moonlight mix-up at Sunday's Academy Awards are sure to never make that mistake again. That's because they won't be allowed back at the Oscars, after making what could be considered the biggest mistake in the award show's 89-year history.

The cause of the envelope gaffe was revealed on Monday, and it's Twitter. President of the film academy Cheryl Boon Isaacs says that accountant Brian Cullinan—he's the one who mistakenly handed presenter Warren Beatty the "Best Actress" envelope—was distracted backstage, The Boston Globe reports. Minutes before the incorrect winner was announced by Beatty and Faye Dunaway, Cullinan had posted a photo of Emma Stone with her new Oscar to Twitter, after he was explicitly told not to Tweet!

https://www.exboyfriendrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/disobey-me.jpg

Another good man lost to the evils of social media, as "Never Tweet" remains the best and only edict for the internet age. He's since deleted the image, but boy oh boy has the damage already been done.

We all know this was not worth the 55 likes.

While Cullinan was the one responsible for the mistake, his PwC partner, Martha Ruiz, will also no longer be allowed to work for the Academy Awards, which honestly seems unfair considering that she did nothing wrong? Unless, of course, there is more to the story.

The Globe also reports that Boon Isaacs announced that the Academy's relationship with PwC, remains under review. The accounting firm has been tallying and delivering the results for the awards show for 83 years, but The Academy does not play around, people! You can be good for 83 years, have one little whoopsie, and be OUTTA THERE! So, I guess the moral of this story is never mess up, never tweet, and even if you do neither of those things, you're still not safe (if you were planning on being an accountant for the Oscars).
