The cast of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' reunited and they all look immortal.

Ready to feel old? Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been around for two whole decades. And on this, the 20-year anniversary of the series premiere, the cast of Buffy reunited for a fancy photo shoot and interview with Entertainment Weekly. It was their first joint interview in over a decade.

“For the most part, this is like a high school reunion but much worse because they all still look really great. I was hoping some of them would puff out a bit," director Joss Whedon said of the reunion. "But that did not take place.”

He's not kidding. Truly, the cast looks so good, we're pretty sure they're actually immortal.

When they weren't posing for badass photos of pretty people, the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer reminisced about their days on set and talked about why the series became so popular.

“It’s the ultimate metaphor: horrors of adolescence manifesting through these actual monsters,” star Sarah Michelle Gellar said of the show.

“When you’re going through a really horrible part of your life, like your teenage years, you feel alone. And Buffy was a way to tell the audience you’re not alone,” her co-star David Boreanaz, who played Angel, added.

So, wait. They're not going to announce a Buffy sequel series? No! Wait, this reunion can't be all we get! Buffy, come back!


One of my biggest concerns about Brexit is still not understanding what it is.

The White House is selling golden Easter eggs on their website, but don't be so quick to judge.

This year, the White House is selling golden Easter eggs to commemorate the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.

Given our current President, it seems pretty fitting, right?

And at the low price of $14.95, you don't even need a golden goose to get one (although Veruca Salt does remind us of a certain US President).

"I want it NOW!!!!"

Of course, Twitter immediately blamed the manufacturing of this garish keepsake on Trump's obsession with all things gold.

But not so fast! Although this egg is probably as fragile as Trump's ego, he is not the first president to sell the gilded souvenirs.

Yep! According to Twitchy, President Obama had his own golden Easter eggs just last year.

Seriously, if Trump wanted to leave his mark on this year's Easter Egg Roll, he would have made the egg orange with some Easter grass on top.

Plus, the egg isn't actually made of gold. It is comprised of wood and pained gold. Bummer.

Still, you have to admit that it does look like something they would serve for breakfast in Trump Tower.

Oh well, looks like we will have to just settle for getting mad over things that actually matter!

Generous Craigslist dude is willing to let you run a 5K so he can win $100. You get nothing.

In the latest gem from Craigslist, a dude bet his friend $100 that he couldn't run a 5K. Obviously, he took the bet—$100 is $100 right? Oh, but then he realized he didn't want to run a 5K.

My best friend bet me $100 that I can't run a 5K (metric measurement) in less than 22 minutes. He didn't expect me to actually say yes, but guess what? Challenge accepted!

Unfortunately, I don't run at all. I'd rather do almost anything--get the measles, stick my hand in an alligator's mouth or write a thank you letter. Plus, we set August 1 as the date I have to do it by, so I don't have time to train.

But his mistake is your gain! It's a once in a lifetime offer! You get to dress like a stranger, wear a black mask, and try to trick that stranger's friend into giving him $100!

Are you a runner? I could use your help. Just pretend to be me and run this 5K (not sure how many miles). It doesn't really matter what you look like because there's a nighttime, ninja-themed 5K (Googled it, 3.1 miles) coming up. I figure you can dress in an all black costume that only shows your eyes. No one will be able to tell you're not me!

Glad this guy figured out the amount of miles in a 5K between sentence one and sentence two. Anyway—what do you get for the trouble of committing fraud in a ninja themed race? Well, that's the best part of the deal. You get nothing! The post is tagged "no pay."

I'll pay your race fee, unless you take longer than 22 minutes to finish the race. In that case, you'll need to give me something...an apology!!!

We'll swap places after the race. It should be easy. You'll just go into the bathroom and I'll sneak up on my friend (like ninjas do) and collect my $100. Feel free to use the bathroom if you need to.

What a great deal.

A true genius built a robot to literally burn Trump where it hurts him the most.

An anonymous modern day hero has invented a robot that prints and burns Donald Trump's tweets. Finally! Every day I have had to print out every single tweet on my ancient printer that takes an hour to turn on. Then I have to burn them individually and, frankly, I'm exhausted. And now I can rest.

The robot made its first appearance on Twitter yesterday morning, in response to Trump tweeting this:

Enter robot:

Isn't it enchanting? It's like art in motion. I could watch this robot work for hours. And it seems like I might have to. Because Donald Trump keeps tweeting. And the robot keeps burning them.

That's right, this heroic, tireless robot is burning every single Trump tweet.

But that's not all it does! Sometimes it tweets at comedians.

This robot is like an overeager college grad that can't stop giving out their resume at inappropriate times, and you have to admire its ambition. Get out there, young robot that prints and burns Trump's tweets. The world is yours.

Divorced mom goes viral with post about why she still takes family photos with her ex.

Victoria Baldwin and her husband Adam may have gotten divorced, but they want to assure that their son knows that they are still a family.

Victoria Baldwin shared the family portraits with Love What Matters.

"The top two photos were taken when Adam and I were married. The bottom two, taken nearly one year and over two years after our divorce was finalized. We are not in love, we don't always agree, we're not best friends, sometimes we don't even like one another. But you know what we are? We are forever connected because of our beautiful, smart, kind, compassionate, funny son," she writes.

While the poses in the pictures may have changed over the years, their commitment to their son has not.

"The top two photos were taken when Adam and I were married. The bottom two, taken nearly one year and over two years...

Posted by Love What Matters on Monday, March 27, 2017

They're smiling and happy in the photos, it isn't always that easy.

"We RESPECT one another. We remember that neither of our roles as parents take precedence over the other - neither one of us are any more important to the life of our son. We BOTH need to be there, we BOTH deserve quality time and quality memories with him. Neither of us blame one another for the direction our relationship took. We do not place blame on one another, and we certainly don't place blame in the presence of our son," she continues.

For many families, is a portrait goes beyond Facebook likes—it's a symbol of togetherness, something you can point to and say "this is us."

This Is Us nbc kate this is us chrissy metz GIF
(Got that show on my mind—I'm in need of a good cry.)

Baldwin says because they're divorced parents, its all the more important to have these representations of what it means to be a family.

“We still have a family portrait taken, and I still pay good money to have the images printed, framed, and placed in our son’s bedroom; he may not grow up with parents who live in the same house… but he will grow up to see respect, kindness, empathy, compassion, perseverance, flexibility, and even sacrifice being modeled by both of his parents and he will know it is possible to fall out of love but never fall apart,” Baldwin explains.

“Kids may not always listen to what you say, but they will watch what you do, and that can make all the difference," she says.

A picture is worth a thousand words. And at least 100 "Likes."

Guy totally cracks under the pressure when Tinder match asks him to impress her.

Online dating is hard. Making a first impression over text is never easy. But it's important to be able to maintain your composure. This Tinder user learned that the hard way.

A Reddit user known as Zanester98 posted this screenshot of a recent conversation he had with a Tinder match. The woman he matched with told him he had three messages to impress her.

Our boy cracked under the pressure.

Yep. He wasted all three messages freaking out about the pressure, and then freaking out about wasting messages. It's entirely possible that he was wasting the messages on purpose to make a joke, but Caren was not messing around. She unmatched him immediately.

Man, that's rough. But Caren knows what she wants, and honestly, good for her. We wish Zanester98 the best of luck in his search for love.

'Santa's Husband' is the children's book that will change Christmas forever.

Santa Claus is coming to town, but first he is coming out of the closet!

Daniel Kibblesmith, writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and co-author of How to Win at Everything, has officially announced that his children's book, Santa's Husband, will be on shelves starting October 10th.

This is the future that liberals want!

According toTime, the book is about a gay, black Santa who lives in the North Pole with his white husband. If Santa is busy, his spouse helps out by filling in for him and playing Santa at the mall. Aw!

The idea for the book came from this joke Kibblesmith tweeted back in December of 2016.

Looks like Mrs. Claus was a beard all along.

According to the press release sent from Kibblesmith's Twitter account, Santa's Husband will be a parody of a children's book, although Harper Design said the book is meant for all ages.

A black, gay Santa in an interracial relationship? No one tell Megyn Kelly.

Twitter user @Msixelaa works as an Uber driver, but she could easily have a promising side careers as either a Twitter poet or a merciless spirit of vengeance. Recently, she picked up a seemingly normal fare from the airport. But once she had driven this woman to her destination, she realized that the Uber app had just directed her straight into the middle of her own love triangle. And she was pissed. She tweeted the whole saga, and of course, it went massively viral.

The original ending of 'Frozen' was a lot more twisted.

$

By now, we've probably all seen Disney's Frozen. The film skyrocketed to popularity when it was released at the end of 2013, and it hasn't looked back. As it is, the film is a heartwarming story about the bond between sisters, but it turns out the original version of the script had a much darker ending.

Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in the film, has already revealed to fans that Elsa was a more straightforward villain in earlier iterations of the Frozen script. According to Entertainment Weekly, Anna and Elsa weren't related in earlier drafts of the script, nor were they royals. They were merely a pure-hearted heroine and an evil snow queen, respectively.

Originally, the film was supposed to open with a prophecy that warned of “a ruler with a frozen heart will bring destruction to the kingdom of Arendelle." Elsa was scorned when the man of her dreams left her at the altar, and froze her own heart so she'd never love again. (YIKES. Heavy.) So, both she and the audience are meant to believe that she's the villain the prophecy warns of.

In the original ending, Elsa creates an army of snow monsters to send after Anna and her love interest, Kristoff. The two-faced Prince Hans triggers an avalanche in order to stop Elsa's army, not caring that he's also put Elsa, Anna, and the entire kingdom in danger. Anna realizes that Elsa may be the kingdom's only hope, and convinces her to use her powers to stop the avalanche.

The film's producer said that they decided to change that storyline when they realized it wasn't original enough.

“The problem was that we felt like we had seen it before,” Del Vecho told Entertainment Weekly. “It wasn’t satisfying. We had no emotional connection to Elsa — we didn’t care about her because she had spent the whole movie being the villain. We weren’t drawn in. The characters weren’t relatable.”

When the decision was made to make Anna and Elsa sisters, the script was reworked and the ending we know and love was born.

WHEW. I don't know about you, but I like the film the way it is. And if I may, I'd like to take a moment to salute Frozen's most underrated character, the shopkeeper who's holding a "big summer blowout" sale.

He is the funniest part of this movie. Do not try to fight me on it.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese soccer star who also happens to be really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

To honor his career and chiseled cheekbones, his hometown of Funchal, Portugal, recently held a ceremony renaming the town's airport after him, Buzzfeed reports. They also presented a statue in his honor. But don't say "awww!" just yet.

Because here's what the statue looks like:

What. The. Hell. Is. That. Thing.

The bronze statue has a face, which Cristiano Ronaldo also has. Other than that, I don't see the resemblance. Do you?

Hide yo kids. Hide yo wife.

This looks like a murderous robot with dental issues. Here's another photo of Cristiano Ronaldo to remind you what he actually looks like (purely for journalistic purposes):

Whoops, an underwear photo! I guess that's all I could find online.

Ronaldo was photographed next to his "likeness" and he looks like he feels the way we all feel when we look at this bronze bust: horrified, amused, confused. It's a roller coaster of emotion.

Twitter is having a field day roasting the statue.

This isn't the first time statue makers have gone off the rails in their depiction of an icon (remember this horrific Lucille Ball statue?).

It also isn't the first time a statue of Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines. Back in 2014, his hometown erected (tee hee) a statue in his honor that had one very prominent feature on display (hint: it's his penis).

I don't see a problem. Do you see a problem? This is a great statue.

Do statue-makers love or hate this guy? I just can't figure it out.

Here's one more photo of the soccer star IRL, just to refresh your memory:

Instagram model goes viral with photos of the 'least favorite part of my body.'

Kenzie Brenna is a 27-year-old Instagram model and actress in recovery from an eating disorder and body dysmorphic disorder. She has become known for sharing "realistic" photos of her body as a kind of therapy, and for promoting self-love and body positivity, which tbh we need way more of in this world.

She recently went viral with a post she shared about the "least favorite part" of her body—her stretch marks—and how she has learned to accept them.

In the caption, she wrote:

Here are my thoughts when I look at my least favourite part of my body.
-----------
"They're not usually this noticeable."
"If you only had the money to get rid on them."
"They actually look kinda cool."
"Sorta like a the beginning of a story."
"More like the beginning of a LONG story."
"Would I erase my story to not have these?"
"You'd probably be more comfortable without them."
"Would I truly though?"
"Okay ask yourself the question."
"I don't wanna."
"Just do it."
"Does this affect the quality of who I am?"
"No."
"Would it make you a better person if you got rid of these marks?"
"No."
"Would it make you kinder, more generous and a better lover if you had the money to erase them?"
"No."
"Then you're perfect."
"I don't feel perfect."
"That's cause perfect isn't a feeling."

I love this. Because I've totally had this kind of conversation with myself, but it usually ends up with me covering myself in a tarp and staying home. But it doesn't have to!

Brenna followed up with this realistic pep-talk about self love:

you guys get it 💞 you don't have to be in love with yourself everyday, but I PROMISE if you practice self love you will have more loving moments with yourself than you could ever dream of. ☁️💫
KEEP DREAMING.
KEEP LOVING.
KEEP AT IT.

In another post from a month ago, she also showed some love for her tummy:

Most people can relate to hating some part of their body, whether it's stretch marks or love handles or wide feet or bushy eyebrows or whatever else you have decided is "wrong" or doesn't live up to society's standards. But this is an important reminder that we can change the conversation in our heads, and flip the switch to self love anytime we damn well please.


Trump asked a room of women if they knew who Susan B. Anthony was. Bad idea.

Today at a women's empowerment panel at the White House, Trump (who let him in there?) jokingly asked the room of women, "do you know who Susan B. Anthony is?" But here's the thing about being able to joke with us about Susan B. Anthony. We have a couple basic requirements:

1. You shouldn't have a history of joking about sexual assault, or saying lewd, degrading things about women.

2. We should be able to feel confident that you know who Susan B. Anthony is.

Unfortunately, Trump fails to meet both of our requirements :( So, I'm sorry, but we can't really find his joke funny, or even give him a pity laugh on this one. Some people thought that the overreaction to Trump's obvious sarcasm was too much:

But it doesn't seem like people were actually taking the joke at face value, as Buzzfeed's David Mack supposes in his tweet. They're upset because they don't really want to hear a sarcastic remark, especially one that hinges upon a patronizing tone that Trump has employed when talking with women before, at an event meant to celebrate Women's History Month. (Seriously, who let him into that room?!) This moment was so ripe with irony that it didn't require much commentary, but you better believe there were some Frederick Douglass jokes in there. Here's what women (and a few good men) were saying about Trump's very bad joke:

DRAG. HIM. LADIES.

The original Aunt Viv from 'Fresh Prince' posts brutal NSFW rant about the recent reunion.

Janet Hubert, the actress who played Aunt Vivian on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for three seasons before she was replaced, was apparently not invited to the cast's recent reunion. But she was "not offended" in the least, according to a trash-talking Facebook rant she posted yesterday that would suggest otherwise.

In the rant, Hubert took shots at the whole cast but mostly at Alfonso Ribeiro (you may know him as Carlton), after he posted a photo from the recent reunion on Instagram with a sweet caption in memory of the late James Avery (RIP Uncle Phil😭).

This is pretty adorable. But apparently Janet Hubert didn't think so. The actress, who has been beefing with Will Smith since 1993, posted a short clip from the show along with this rant, which has since been deleted but lives on the internet forever:

I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribeiro has posted his so called reunion photo. Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the ass wipe for Will (Smith). There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.

OUCH.

If you follow Fresh Prince behind-the-scenes drama, and personally I live for it, you already know that this is not Janet Hubert's first public shit-talking rodeo. In 2016 when Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith said they would be boycotting the Oscars, Hubert posted a lengthy video on Facebook in which she basically called them both privileged hypocrites.

Did she cross a line this time? Yes. That's what I love about the original Aunt Viv: the woman follows no rules. In a world where a lot of people claim to "tell it like it is" and then don't, she is the real deal.

Ivanka Trump has a brand new job, and boy does it sound thankless. The New York Times reports that the eldest daughter of Donald Trump would be joining him down in the White House as the newly appointed "Assistant to the President." Also, it's unpaid. Woof. This news has everybody spiraling back to the days of their first unpaid internships, when they used too many exclamation points in emails and wasted time making trips to and from the snack cabinet because they didn't actually have any work to do.

Is Ivanka nervous for her first big day? Does she know if jeans are okay at the White House or if she should wear chinos? And do people bring there lunch from home there or will she get laughed at if she shows up with a paper bag? Soon enough we'll find out, but for now, here are some of the funniest tweets about Ivanka's big new job at her dad's office.

Were you planning on getting a good night's rest tonight? Well, I'm sorry to do this to you, but the trailer for the remake of Stephen King's It is here, and it's gonna freak ya good.

Here's the deal: It's about a creepy ass clown, and as EW describes it "tells the story of a group of young outcasts in the small town of Derry who rise up against a shapeshifting evil that feeds on fear and has claimed countless lives over the ages." Basically it sounds like The Goonies except less treasure and more scary clown? (TRUTH BOMB: I grew up down the block from Stephen King in Bangor, Maube and should know more about his books, but the truth is I have only read On Writing, which isn't a scary book it's just about the craft of writing and nobody wants to talk to me about that.)

The movie is based on a book by the same name, but this is the second film inspired by the book (you might recall the first film version of It from 1990). In the story, "It" is a supernatural force that often takes on the form of a terrifying clown named Pennywise. The whole story takes place in a small town in Maine, and yes it is weird to grow up in a place that apparently is creepy enough to inspire dozens of Stephen King novels. Anyway, this new version is updated to take place in the 1980s instead of the 1950s, as in the original reason, and, hell who cares the whole point is it's scary and you should watch it. Please enjoy the spiraling thoughts and creepy creaks that keep you up tonight after watching this:

'Archaic' school quiz asked 7-year-olds to match the names with religion. What could go wrong?

Malaysian actress Sarah Lian took to Facebook in a fury, posting a homework assignment her friend's seven-year-old daughter had failed at school. The controversial homework was to match four conventional names to their places of worship based only on stereotype. See if you can figure out where they wanted her to send "Steve," "Kamal," "Hock Lee," and "Devi."

My friend's 7yr old daughter apparently scored badly. And you wonder who makes kids racist and stereotypical??? Well,...

Posted by Sarah Lian on Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Promoting multiculturalism with the most blatant stereotypes obviously backfired. Sarah Lian's post about the school's homework assignment went viral, with commenters arguing about whether the controversy was much ado about nothing or institutional racism.

To those who were fed up over the "huge fuss," Sarah Lian replied simply: "Sometimes a bit of fuss allows change to happen."

She's right about that, since even the Malaysian government is getting in on the discussion. As the post went viral, Malaysia's Minister in charge of national unity argued that the teacher should be punished.

"The teacher who came up with such a misguided notion should be disciplined for such misleading and plain wrong teaching of our kids that one can just assume one's religion by merely looking at one's name," said Tan Sri Joseph Kurup, according to the Malay Mail Online.

The father of the child in question, however, disagreed. He told Mashable he thought "my girl's innocent answers were spot on, but as far as I'm aware [this question] was part of [the school's] syllabus and they're doing their job, it's a good school."

Most can agree, the seven-year-old should not have failed the assignment.
