Steve Bannon allegedly destroyed his rental home's Jacuzzi with acid, and people have questions.

0

Everyone who's rented out a home, whether through Airbnb or some as a long-term landlord, has a horror story about some guest. Maybe they trashed the place with a huge party or left food out and got ants everywhere. Maybe they just clogged the shower drain with hair or simply forgot to take out the trash.

Or, if that person was former Breitbart blowhard and current Trump administration strategist Steve Bannon, maybe he filled your Jacuzzi with acid.

This is a 100% real anecdote from a guy who rented Bannon one of his many temporary homes over the past few years, reported in a Washington Poststory that also mentions he's being investigated for potential voter fraud. But that part's hardly surprising—it's the acid story we want to get to the bottom of.

Of course, Bannon's list of probable crimes is so great that it'll be a while before anyone gets around to doing some real detective work on this matter, but in the meantime, we're left to speculate about what he's doing to the White House bathrooms.


Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande have Nicki Minaj's back in beef with Remy Ma.

For a minute there, it looked like Nicki Minaj didn't have much of an answer for Remy Ma, the rival rapper who trashed her with the vicious 7-minute diss track "shETHER," which left no room for doubt about the pair's toxic relationship. That song climbed the charts even as Nicki remained mostly silent.

Then, however, Nicki fired back with three singles, 'Regret In Your Tears," "Changed It," and "No Frauds," a track featuring Drake and Lil Wayne that seemed to target Remy explicitly: "You can't be Pablo if your work ain't sellin' /
What the fuck is this bitch inhalin'? / I would've helped you out that pit you fell in /I am the generous Queen! Ask Ms. Ellen," she raps on the song.

A post shared by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on

Between continuing to savage Remy and boast about how well the track is doing across a ton of streaming music platforms, Nicki also posted a video compilation of some other pop divas dancing, driving, rapping, and lip-syncing along, including Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Tinashe, and Jhene Aiko—all of whom are apparently declaring loyalty to the self-described Queen of Rap.

"What's funny about this," Nicki wrote, "is that all 4 of them look so sweet & innocent to me but they're all low key savages I guess Lol. Didn't expect this but love u girls so much for reppin. Pretty Girls Let Your Light Shine BRIGHT."

In the meantime, looks like Remy could really use some allies in this fight.

My favorite thing about Facebook is seeing how terribly my high school bully is doing.

Here are the funniest reactions to the lost hour of daylight savings time 2017.

Sure, we all would love some extra time with the sun in the evenings, but that does NOT mean we're cool with losing an extra hour of sleep (or dancing, I don't know your life!) on a Saturday night. In honor of our annual spring forward, here are some of Twitter's funniest reactions to the lost hour of Daylight savings time 2017.

Alec Baldwin returns to 'SNL' to show us how badly Trump would handle an alien invasion.

0

When hostile aliens with advanced weaponry have invaded the planet, citizens need a great speech by their fearless leader to rally themselves and quell their fears. They need someone to believe in their survival because they can't. They need someone who is calm under pressure and knows how to make smart decisions. They need all of these things, and not a single one of them would be used to describe our current President, Donald Trump. In a nod to the President's speech in timeless classic Independence Day, Alec Baldwin returned to SNL last night to show us exactly how badly Trump would be under the pressure of an alien invasion.

After Trump's first Congressional Address on February 28, the public and media were a bit shocked at how coherent Trump came across. Sure, he was mostly just reading a teleprompter, and it was a depressing departure from the inspiration and emotion with which Obama had spoiled us, but he never said "nasty woman" or "you're the puppet" or "bad hombres"! And it wasn't a review of SNL he wrote himself on Twitter at 2am! It was indeed unfortunate that the best we could say about it was that it wasn't a train wreck. And this sketch reminds us that the President of a country isn't just a political figurehead, they're also meant to be an inspiring figure, one that makes little kids want to grow up to achieve similar levels of greatness. And it makes quite obvious how short Trump falls when it comes to those things.

When Trump first addresses his troops for a rallying speech, he starts talking about the coal jobs he's going to bring back, as if he's a robot who only knows how to inspire people who live in the rust belt. Then, he goes on to say that the aliens are "living among" them and makes reference to the two black soldiers in the audience (Leslie Jones and Sasheer Zamata) as being alien "shape shifters," which is sadly not outside the realm of the insane brand of racism that members of the alt right believe in. Like most of SNL's Trump coverage, it's funny, but it's also sad. Because this man is our President and he's so ill-equipped for the job (not to mention an admitted sexual assaulter with ties to Russia).

Baldwin has said recently that he doesn't plan to play trump on SNL much longer, so enjoy it while you can. You can watch the whole sketch here:

'SNL' has created the perfect perfume brand for Ivanka Trump: Complicit.

0

How does Ivanka Trump, someone who claims to care about women's issues, stand by her father, an admitted sexual assaulter? It's a very good question. She's been called out plenty of times for her fake feminism, as well as her involvement in Trump's agenda, and last night on SNLScarlett Johansson debuted her Ivanka impression for a parody commercial pedaling Ivanka's new perfume line: Complicit.

"A feminist, an advocate, a champion for women," the sultry voice over says, as Ivanka's bejeweled hand pulls her straight blonde hair away from her face, voguing for the camera. "But, like, how?" It's a good question, and one that journalists like Lauren Duca have been asking for a while.

After Ivanka was aggressively verbally attacked by a a left wing lawyer on a Jet Blue plane in December, Duca maintained that it was possible to criticize her while also agreeing that she should not be verbally attacked, and that it was essential for us to pay close attention to her, even if she comes off as innocent and unknowning. This SNL sketch gets at the same thing: that just because she is packaged as a traditionally beautiful and attentive daughter does not mean that she can't simultaneously wield her power in self-interested ways.

Using the term "complicit" as the name of a perfume scent is smart and works well in the video because Ivanka does seem like the kind of woman who would have a perfume line. "She's loyal, devoted," the voice over goes on to say about her. "But probably should have bounced after that whole Access Hollywood bus thing. Oh well." And the final tagline for the perfume perfectly gets at how much power Ivanka has, and thus why we should be so critical of her: "Complicit: the fragrance for the woman who could stop all this, but won't."

Step on set of the most sexual Olive Garden commercial shoot ever with this 'SNL' sketch.

0
0

If you've been dying to know what it's like to be a commercial actor, then you're in luck. This week SNL showed us how the proverbial sausage gets made by taking us on set of the most insane and sexual Olive Garden commercial shoot ever.

The four actors in this sketch are at first a little shocked by the director's enthusiasm for emotions and facial expressions that seem way over the top for people just reading a menu at the Olive Garden. But he goes much, much further than that, in a way that's almost entirely unpredictable. At one point, the director asks "sweater guy" (Kenan Thompson) to put his face in his plate of pasta, and makes him keep it there for a solid minute to make sure that they "get the shot." He additionally asks the couple on the left to nod and smile at their waiter, but first to pretend their waiter is as tall as an amazon, and then pretend their waiter is two feet tall. None of it makes any sense, and that is why it's funny!

It starts to feel a bit sexual when the director asks each couple to give each other pecks on the cheek for some cute, affectionate b-roll, but then he asks "blonde hair" (Scarlett Johansson) and "yellow top" (Leslie Jones) to kiss, for a version of the commercial that will air in "one neighborhood in Atlanta." When Jones concedes and quickly pecks Johansson on the cheek, he makes her do it again on the lips.

The director also slips in some racist treatments of Leslie Jones' character, using a strange southern accent when giving her directions, which makes this director's bizarre behavior almost impossible to categorize. He's able to justify all his demands by saying that he knows what the people who eat at Olive Garden want to see, and it's funny to see the tepid actors comply to his bizarre demands. Ultimately, this ends with all of the actors being asked to pretend they just had an orgasm, because this is comedy after all. It's bizarre and funny, and you can watch it here:

'SNL' reveals what happens when two guys try to write about the struggles of being a woman.

In honor of International Women's Day this past week, Saturday Night Live wanted to air a sketch featuring every woman in the cast. Trouble is, the holiday fell on Wednesday, when most of the show's writing is done, and the women were out on strike.

Thankfully, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney to pull together a short piece about the struggles the opposite gender faces day in and day out. It may not be exactly the kind of thing their castmates had in mind, but it's clear they want some credit for the effort.

Oh well. There's always next year.


Emma Watson reveals her feelings on the openly gay character in the new 'Beauty and the Beast.'

0
0

With less than a week until the highly anticipated release of Dinsey's live-action remake of animated classic Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson sat down with Entertainment Weekly on Sirius XM to discuss the film. One topic that came up in particular was that the movie has been in the spotlight for featuring Disney's first openly gay character, Huffington Postreports.

"I think that what’s so fantastic about Josh’s performance is that it’s so subtle," Watson says of Josh Gad, who plays the character LeFou. Is it so subtle that audiences might miss it completely? We'll find out soon enough, but Watson was sure to caution the public from expecting a triumphant gay character ark being heavily featured in the film. "I don’t want people going into this movie thinking that there’s like a huge narrative there," she said. "There really isn’t. It’s incredibly subtle, and it’s kind of a play on having the audience go, ‘Is it, or is it not?’ I think it’s fun. I love the ambiguity there." Is it fun, though?

If viewers are left wondering whether or not the character is gay at all, can we really call that Disney's first openly gay character? That will be for everyone to judge when the movie comes out, but so far there has been so much conversation (and contention) surrounding the fact that this character is gay, that it seems like there's no way people won't be disappointed by a character that is "incredibly subtle" and "ambiguous." One theater in Alabama has already banned the movie, and Russia is reviewing the film to see if it's technically illegal due to their law that prohibits "homosexual propaganda." The movie opens on March 16, and there will surely be plenty more commentary on LeFou's character to come.

If you never found time to watch 'Breaking Bad,' somebody edited the whole show into a 2-hour movie.

Let's face it: Watching an entire drama series like Breaking Bad is a serious time commitment. And trying to dive in a few years after everyone else was obsessed with it just feels... embarrassing. To quote every infomercial: "There's got to be a better way!"

Well, in this case there is. Cue some guy from the internet spending all of his free time combing through the series and re-editing it into a feature-length film that clocks in at just about two hours. Yes, really. It may not have all the side plots and exposition that true fans got, but hey, at least you'll know what people are talking about when they quote Jesse Pinkman.

Now if only someone could do this with How I Met Your Mother.

The full-length 'Wonder Woman' trailer just dropped, and fans couldn't be more hyped.

June feels all too far away for superhero fans now that they've gotten a good look at the Wonder Woman movie. The film's fierce star, Gal Gadot, unveiled a thrilling new trailer on Twitter last night, and the reaction was pure rapture.

Tracking Gadot's heroine from her origins as the Amazonian princess Diana—who definitely has a secret that sets her apart—the clip also introduces her male sidekick, played by Chris Pine, and sets her fight for global justice in motion.

Did I mention that people were pretty hyped about this?

Just one more reason to look forward to summer.

Gross idiot bro becomes symbol of rape culture by humping Wall Street's 'Fearless Girl' statue.

This week, Wall Street's famous Charging Bull encountered a challenge in the form of "SHE" or the "Fearless Girl." The new statue, created by artist Kristen Visbal and commissioned by asset management firm State Street Global Advisors, appeared on the occasion of International Women's Day and will remain there through March as a call for the finance industry to address its gender inequalities. (Unfortunately, SSGA itself is part of the problem, but that's another story.)

But the girl hadn't been in place for more than a day before some Wall Street douche took it upon himself to defile it, much to the amusement of his equally douchey Wall Street friends.

Almost as if out of central casting, some Wall Street finance broseph appeared and started humping the statue while his...

Yeah, dude. Way to go. Because now and forever, you are a symbol of rape culture. And that comes from the first family of New York.

Congressman Steve King faces Twitter's wrath after posting straight-up white supremacist nonsense.

Welcome back to another edition of Politicians Not Even Pretending They're Not Racist Anymore, brought to you by Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, the alt-right, and a whole bunch of Twitter eggs.

Today, Iowa congressman Steve King used the power of social media to praise Dutch xenophobe Geert Wilders, who could become his country's next prime minister in an election this week. In doing so, he basically expressed his desire to see non-white people stop procreating.

Hooooo boy. Who could that "somebody else" refer to, Steve? Are you sure you don't want to just start naming races? Because Twitter is coming for you either way.

Just another fun reminder of who's running the country right now.

The 'Hell Challenge' is the latest way for teens to infuriate their parents on the internet.

From the "mannequin challenge" to the "hot pepper challenge", you would think that these viral challenge videos couldn't get any stupider, but behold! The new "Hell Challenge" has arrived and it is every bit as hilarious as it is idiotic.

The "Hell Challenge" is simple enough in its execution— a teen asks their parent if "hell" is a curse word, and then proceed to use it in the subsequent conversation. Oh, and then they post the entire exchange on the internet, of course.

Because what teen would pass up the opportunity to sneakily curse out their parents?

Sometimes it goes over surprisingly well.

Other times not so much.

Oh teens. What stupid thing will they come up with next?

21 children are suing Donald Trump over climate change, and the government's not happy.

0

21 kids between the ages of 9 and 20 are suing the government for violating their rights to "life, liberty, and property" by causing climate change and failing to stop it.

According to Our Children's Trust, the advocacy group assisting their efforts, "their complaint asserts that, through the governments affirmative actions in causing climate change, has violated the youngest generation's constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property as well as failed to protect essential public trust resources."

This is not a school project.

At the time the lawsuit was filed in 2015, the plaintiffs named then-president Barack Obama as a defendant. And that guy actually believed in climate change. According to Business Insider, they've now switched his name out for the new president, Donald Trump. And Donald Trump once said this. Not to mention, here's the guy Trump has running his Environmental Protection Agency:

In November, "the case cleared a major early hurdle," in the words of the Washington Post, when U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken denied the Obama administration and the fossil fuel industry's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

We're going to trial, kids!

But not so fast... the Trump administration appealed Aiken's decision to go to trial, and are fighting another motion by the plaintiffs (as a reminder: kids) asking the Department of Justice to preserve any information on climate change the government might otherwise destroy/remove from federal websites, the Washington Post reports.

Stay tuned for more information as the case unfolds. But for now, take this final quote from the Washington Post. Here are the stakes:

"If the case were successful, the federal government would be obligated to take meaningful action against climate change, probably through a planned reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."

Oh, kids. They are the future. And also the present.

Woman confronts Sean Spicer in Apple Store: 'How does it feel to work for a fascist?'

0

On March 11, White House press secretary Sean Spicer was shopping at the Apple store* when he was approached by a woman who had a few questions for him. The woman, named Shree Chauhan according to the NY Post, tweeted a video of the question/no answer session along with the text, "Asking @PressSec questions in Apple Store since he doesn't like the press."

Her post has since gone viral, getting over 400,000 views on the video app Periscope. Chauhan wrote about the experience on Medium, and said that Spicer made a racist remark to her while she was filming.

Chauhan asked Sean Spicer questions like, “How does it feel to work for a fascist” and “Have you helped with the Russia stuff?” He initially replied “We have a great country, but mostly seems to be trying to ignore Chauhan.

But then she asked, “Have you committed treason too? Just like the president. What can you tell me about Russia?” Sean Spicer allegedly said, “It’s such a great country that allows you to be here.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Chauhan said,

He could’ve said, "Such a great country that allows dissent." There’s a lot of ways that could’ve been said. To have someone who speaks for the president of the United States tell me to my face that I shouldn’t be here and I was born here — that is a real thing.

In her post on the self-publishing platform Medium, Chauhan wrote,

I am still stunned by the boldness of having my citizenship threatened on camera. I was not polite. But when does being impolite mean that I should be thrown out of the United States of America? The country I was born in, the country I was raised in, the country I love despite its flaws.

*Not sure what Sean Spicer was buying at the Apple Store, but it's a given that he'll eventually tweet his password to it.

Ed Sheeran will appear in a tiny role on ‘Game of Thrones.’ He’ll probably die.

According toVanity Fair, Ed Sheeran will be making a cameo in the upcoming season of Game of Thrones. The news was revealed by show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss at the Game of Thrones panel at the recent South by Southwest festival.

Weiss and Benioff stated that they have been trying to snag Sheeran for years as a way to surprise super-fan Maisie Williams (a.ka. Arya Stark), and finally secured the "Shape of You" singer for the upcoming seventh season.

"For years, we tried to get Ed Sheeran on the show to surprise Maisie, and this year we finally did it," announced Benioff and Weiss during the panel hosted by Williams and her onscreen sister, Sophie Turner.

No additional information about Sheeran's role has been disclosed at this time, but keep your eyes peeled for the redhead in the season debuting on HBO in July.

Ed Sheeran is just the latest musician to make his way to Westeros, and is continuing the show's bizarre tradition of throwing frontmen into roles so tiny that you might have missed them if you blinked. Sigur Rós and Of Monsters and Men got to play music while appearing on the show, while members of the heavy metal band Mastodon were virtually unrecognizable as wildlings. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol and Will Champion from Coldplay have also made cameo appearances in previous seasons.

Here's hoping that Sheeran makes it out alive—but we're definitely not holding our breath.

Kellyanne Conway roasted on Twitter after suggesting Obama spied on Trump through a microwave.

0

From the mouth that brought us the "Bowling Green massacre" and "alternative facts" comes "spying microwaves," the latest Kellyanne Conway lie to attempt to make sense of something her crazy boss said.

In an interview on Sunday from her home in Alpine, New Jersey, the Counselor to the President was asked about Trump's incendiary claim that Obama wiretapped him, and well, said to check the microwave.

Seriously.

Twitter was quick to heat this up.

Monday morning, on other networks, Conway continued to get pressed on the wiretap claims. Though everyone can see in the video that she was asked about Trump directly, Conway insisted on Monday that she was answering about surveillance in general.

The Today Show's Savannah Guthrie went in, hammering home how important it is that the President of the United States just doesn't make ridiculous accusations out of nowhere.

Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulosgot her to admit that there is no evidence to the claim.

And on CNN,Conway managed to state something on television that is an objective fact: "I'm not Inspector Gadget."

If only she were Inspector Gadget. She would actually be someone who can both collect facts and heat up food.

John Oliver tears apart the Republican health care bill.

0

Since Republicans publicly announced their replacement plan for Obamacare last week, everyone has been buzzing about how the American Health Care Act would stack up against its predecessor.

Like many people, John Oliver is unimpressed. On Sunday's Last Week Tonight, Oliver took some time to rip apart what is arguably the most universally hated bill currently on Capitol Hill. ("The Ted Cruz of health care legislation," Oliver calls it.)

In the segment, John Oliver examines what the bill would mean for older, low-income Americans, and tries to figure out why our president Donald Trump, a man who puts his name on everything from ties to steak, refuses to stake his claim on this health care act.

Oliver fears that Trump doesn't really understand (or hasn't even read) the legislation that Paul Ryan and his minions are trying to get passed through Congress, so he debuts a commercial explaining it to him. A commercial which will actually air during our president's favorite news program, Fox and Friends.

John Oliver really has that uncanny ability to make us laugh and cry at the same time, doesn't he?
