Simone Biles had the perfect response to the 'DWTS' host who asked her to smile.

Everywhere women go, men tell us to smile. No matter where, no matter when. So it really came as no surprise when, while receiving some constructive criticism on Monday night from the Dancing With the Stars judges, host Tom Bergeron asked (the usually very smiley) Simone Biles why she wasn't smiling. Her reply? “Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals.” BOOM.

But speaking to Entertainment Tonight after the show, Biles explained exactly why she wasn't smiling. She admitted that getting negative feedback from DWTS judges made her feel sad, saying, “I had tears in my eyes. I almost ran to the bathroom at one point, but I pulled it together. I am trying and I am being honest. But if they don’t see that, I don’t know what else more I can do.”

Of course, Twitter loved her fierce, no bullshit response.

You can check out her awesome dancing skills in this video, which shows the performance she and her partners did just before the clip with the judges.


Dad goes above and beyond to embarrass his son for acting up in physics class.

Some parents really just go above and beyond the call of duty to embarrass their children. Like this dad, who showed up to his son's physics class after one too many complaints from his teacher.

According to Buzzfeed, teenager Brad Howard has been a little too talkative in his physics class as of late. His dad, also named Brad, kept getting emails about his disruptive behavior, so he decided to teach his son a lesson.

Dad Brad told Teen Brad that if he got one more call from the teacher, he'd show up at school and sit with his son in class. Well, guess what. He got another call.

Brad Jr.'s sister Molli tweeted a screen shot of the selfie her dad took while he was sitting next to his son in physics class, which her mom shared on the family's group chat. The hilarious photo quickly went viral.

Though Dad was "a bit nervous" to be among the teens, he told Buzzfeed that his son's friends seemed to get a kick out of him being there. "I think they had a good time. Especially knowing that Bradley was put in an uncomfortable situation," he said.

Needless to say, Teen Brad (or B2, as his mom adorably seems to call him), was more than a little surprised to find his dad sitting next to his physics desk.

I didn't even notice him until after I had said hi to all of my friends, but I was super shocked," he told Buzzfeed.

Word of advice for all you teens out there: When your parent threatens to embarrass you for acting up in class, believe them.

Angelica, a 19-year-old student from Connecticut, is one of countless young women who has endured an unpleasant Tinder experience. Recently, some dope messaged her on the app with a prepackaged pickup line that broke the #1 rule of online dating: Don't mention the Holocaust.

Angelica's tweets quickly went viral. Everyone had questions.

Even her dad got wind of it.

Eventually, the Tinder dude even saw the tweet. And in another questionable judgment call, he got involved.

Teen kills it showing up to prom in a coffin and hearse.

We've been inundated with"promposals," and did you know that prom entrances (Prentrances?) are a thing too? Well, New Jersey teen Megan Flaherty absolutely killed in when she rolled up to her junior prom in a hearse and coffin.

And then she casually went about her day with a huge smile.

"I like being different," the creative, cool goth student said. Flaherty's entrance was assisted by her date and a family friend looked like the Mad Hatter.

Fresh to death.

Flaherty told NJ.com that the entrance was all about having fun, and that it's consistent with her interests: she plans on becoming a funeral director after college.

The cool teen has all the answers, and not just to how to make a great entrance the prom. She told NJ.com about her future life in death:

Flaherty said she gets that many people are uncomfortable with death and the things that come with it. "It's a natural thing of life," she said, and she's become very comfortable with it as she has gotten interested in mortuary work.

Flaherty kept her eyes open as she was lowered to her grave prom and scanned her classmates' reactions.

"I don't think they were really processing it," she said. "I'm a quiet person in school, so people didn't expect it."

That just makes it all the more awesome.

Woman goes viral with brutally honest post about what depression is really like.

If you've ever suffered from depression (SUP!!!), you know it can be hard for people who haven't experienced it to understand what it's like. They might say things like: "Wait, so you can't come to my birthday party because you're.... 'too sad'???"

Or "just suck it up!" or "have you tried yoga????"

"YOGA"??? I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF BED.

According to the World Health Organization, 350 million people around the world suffer from depression, making it the #1 cause of disability by a long shot. But for how common it is, we don't talk about depression nearly enough and many people still don't "get it."

That may be why this brutally honest post about depression from a woman named Katelyn Marie Todd is exploding on Facebook. It's definitely worth a read. Because chances are, you or someone you love have experienced this.

I brushed my hair today. For the first time in 4 weeks. It was matted and twisted together. It snapped and tore with every stroke. I cried while I washed and conditioned it, because I forgot how it felt to run my fingers through it. I brushed my teeth, too, for the first time in a week. My gums bled. My water ran red. I cried over that, as well. When I got out of the shower, I couldn't stop sniffing my hair and arms. I've avoided hugging people for a while, because I never smell good. I always smell like I've been on bedrest for a week. I have no clean clothes, because I'm too tired and sad to wash them.

Depression isn't beautiful. Depression is bad hygiene, dirty dishes, and a sore body from sleeping too much. Depression is having 3 friends that are only still around because they have the patience and love of a saint. Depression is crying until there's no more tears, just dry heaving and sobbing until you're gasping for your next breath. Depression is staring at the ceiling until your eyes burn because you forget to blink. Depression is making your family cry because they think you don't love them anymore when you're distant and distracted. Depression is somatic as well as emotional, an emptiness you can physically feel.

Please be easy on your friends and family that have trouble getting up the energy to clean, hang out, or take care of themselves. And please, please take them seriously if they talk to you about it. We're trying. I swear we're trying. See? I brushed my hair today.

The post has been shared a staggering 250,000 times since she shared it on Sunday. Clearly, her story has has resonated with many, many people.

If you're struggling with depression, remember, you're not alone!!! And if a loved one is suffering from depression, please, please, please don't suggest they "suck it up" or "try yoga."

Special effects wizard creates the ultimate ad for his 'legend' of a '96 Suzuki Vitara.

Special effects master Eugene Romanovsky is going viral on YouTube with an amazing video he created to help him sell his beloved 1996 Suzuki Vitara. This classic beauty, a jewel among compact SUVs, has been his "best friend" for the past ten years (which means he must have bought it when it was 11 years old), but now it's time for him to pass the torch. And when you consider that this modest, 21-year-old import can drive underwater, fly through space, and travel in time, whatever he's charging must be a bargain.

The Vitara can be yours for one-eightieth the cost of making this video.


I was wondering if I could have a few extra days to turn in my Teacher Appreciation card.

The teen who went viral asking Wendy's for free chicken nuggets is getting what's rightfully his.

You may remember that last month, a teen by the name of Carter Wilkerson went viral for his tweet asking the internet to help him win a free year's supply of Wendy's chicken nuggets.

The internet jumped to his aid. Soon, Wilkerson's tweet had been shared so many times that it came close to surpassing Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar selfie tweet as the most retweeted tweet of all time.

Ellen caught wind that her tweet might be upstaged by a plea for nuggets, and had Wilkerson on her show to confront him. (Jokingly, of course.)

On Tuesday, it became official. Guinness World Records tweeted that Carter Wilkerson's plea for chicken nuggets had officially been retweeted more than Ellen's Oscar selfie.

Though it didn't ~quite~ reach the 18 million Wendy's originally asked for, breaking a world record for retweets seems to have been close enough. Wendy's tweeted that Carter Wilkerson would receive his chicken nuggets. They tweeted a photo of the teen decked out in a #NuggsForCarter T-shirt.

If that isn't an inspiring success story, I don't know what is.

P. Diddy sued by his former chef for demanding she serve him food while he was having sex.

It's not even Hump Day yet and P. Diddy, aka Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy if you were alive in the '90s, is being sued for sexual harassment.

This is Cindy Rueda, who worked as Diddy's personal chef from January, 2015 — May, 2016.

Rueda claims her ex-boss would demand she serve him "post-coital" snacks while he was still naked, and sometimes even while he was having sex, People reports.

OH NO P. DIDN'T.

Diddy tho?

According to a lawsuit Rueda filed yesterday, the hip hop legend"regularly summoned" her to "prepare and serve entrees and appetizers to him and his guests while Mr. Combs and/or his guests were engaged in or immediately following sexual activity," People reports.

In addition to the "post-coital meals," Rueda claims sometimes her boss, while naked, "made comments about his body" and asked her "if she was attracted to or liked his naked body."

This is P. Disgusting.

She also claims that after complaining about these alleged incidents to the director of Combs' estate, she was "lured into a situation where she could be accused of theft and ultimately terminated" on May 8th, 2016.

Rueda is suing P. Diddlers for sexual harassment, a hostile work environment and other workplace-related claims, People reports, and is "seeking unspecified damages."

STARS: Be more like us!!! GET YOUR OWN DAMN POST-SEX SNACKS.

Also, being super famous is not a free pass to sexually harass people. Hopefully, if these claims are true, the courts will agree.

Donald Trump just fired James Comey and Twitter is freaking out.

BREAKING: the Trump administration told FBI director James Comey "you're fired!" today, Politico reports. The firing came with zero warning in the midst of Comey investigating Trump's ties to Russia. So to debrief you: things just went from really really really real to OMG WTF IS HAPPENING IN OUR GOVERNMENT?!?!

"Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office," said Sean Spicer in a statement.

Spicer added that Trump made the decision at the urging of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions (a man who may not have known Hawaii is a state).

"The FBI is one of our nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement," said President Trump in a White House statement.

Twitter is throwing James "but her emails!!!!" Comey a goodbye party, while simultaneously wringing their hands over what his firing could mean for American democracy.

Predictions for who will replace Comey are already rolling in.

Given Trump's history, we wouldn't be surprised to see a Pepe the Frog meme soon running the FBI.

These are crazy, scary times, y'all.

Revel in the glory of Anderson Cooper openly rolling his eyes at Kellyanne Conway.

After a little hiatus from appearing on TV, Kellyanne Conway is back to defend the president no matter what he does, says, or tweets.

Conway appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to talk about the firing of FBI director James Comey on Tuesday, and it didn't take long for things to get pretty heated.

According to Conway, Trump decided to fire Comey due to his treatment of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign, which, COME ON, no one actually believes. Obviously, Anderson Cooper wasn't buying it either.

"But this is stuff that as a candidate, Trump praised James Comey, he talked about this on the campaign all the time. All of a sudden, the White House is concerned about James Comey’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails?" Cooper asked Conway. "Why now are you concerned about the Hillary Clinton email investigation when as a candidate, Trump was praising it from the campaign trail?"

“I think you’re looking at the wrong set of facts here,” Conway replied, which is just an alternative way of saying "alternative facts."

According to CNN, Comey was fired shortly after grand jury subpoenas were granted in the FBI probe of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s Russia ties...which is, you know, not suspicious at all.

The unabashed eyerolling came after Cooper played several clips of Trump praising Comey, and Conway tried to change the subject by talking about how Trump won Michigan. It happens at around 10:18 in the clip above, but here it is in GIF form:

Feel free to use this GIF any time Conway says anything ever.

This isn't the first time the two have gone head-to-head in a heated exchange on air: remember this awkwardly tense argument they had over the definition of a hyperlink?

The Nixon library just threw a historically savage subtweet at Donald Trump.

Besides Fox News and Breitbart, there's another entity out there that doesn't want any comparison between Donald Trump and Richard Nixon.

After Donald Trump decided to fire the man in charge of an investigation against him—FBI Director James Comey—the comparisons flew like birds. Journalists, tweeters, and every American with a shallow grasp on history immediately drew parallels to Richard Nixon. In Nixon's famous "Saturday Night Massacre" the president fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox, the man in charge of the Watergate investigation against him.

Enter the institution in charge of Nixon's legacy: the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. They seem insulted by the comparisons.

"FUN FACT" they wrote, dripping in sarcasm. (Even) "President Nixon never fired the Director of the FBI... #NotNixonian."

The comments on the tweet only doubled down on the differences between the two presidents.

Donald Trump, go ahead, keep making Richard Nixon look good.


Stephen Colbert hosted 'The Daily Show' reunion we all need right now.

The country may be falling apart, but at least The Daily Show is getting back together! Well, just for one night, but still! On Tuesday night, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert hosted a reunion of some of the original members of The Daily Show, including Jon Stewart, Ed Helms, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, and Rob Corddry.

First, a look at Jon Stewart's new life as a sandwich/radish artist and servant to Noah Trevor.

Next, the correspondents all got together and took a stroll down memory lane. In part one, they talk about their auditions, and watch some of their early field pieces (can't forget those gay penguins). And Colbert discusses the night he had to flee the KKK in his second field piece. Fun!

In part two, they mostly discuss why it is that the only one who seems to have aged is Jon Stewart. Oh, and Jon Stewart interviewing Stephen Colbert as Al Sharpton in 2001, apparently Colbert's favorite thing they ever did.

And finally, a flashback to Stephen Colbert's last day at The Daily Show.

Too bad this reunion had to end. Please, please, can't we find a way to go back?

Sean Spicer hid in the bushes to avoid speaking to reporters about James Comey's firing.

On Tuesday night, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer attempted to avoid a horde of reporters by literally hiding in the bushes on the grounds of the White House, according to the Washington Post. The reporters were clamoring for answers about President Donald Trump's bombshell firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Cut to: earlier the same day. Apparently, Spicer wanted to put the news into an email press release, according to the Post. But when that didn't happen fast enough, at around 5:40 p.m., Spicer ended up standing in the doorway of the press office, yelling a statement of sorts to any media who happened to be around. Then he disappeared into his office.

The Post reported that the White House press office staff initially said Sean Spicer would possibly do a briefing, but then stated that he wouldn't be saying anything else for the night. However, as the sudden firing came under increased scrutiny from both Democrats and Republicans, Spicer and two spokeswomen walked up the White House driveway to defend Trump on CNN, Fox News, and Fox Business.

Alas, Sean Spicer wouldn't be able to get back to his office without passing the aforementioned crowd of reporters. So, after hiding in the bushes for a few minutes, the Post reported that an executive assistant in the press office, Janet Montesi, came out from the shrubbery and told the gathered media that Spicer would only answer questions if he wasn't filmed. He also requested that the lights be turned off.

Here's the basic story of the firing, as told by Sean Spicer (according to the Post): Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein conducted an independent probe of James Comey, of which the president was not aware until Tuesday. On Tuesday, President Trump got a memo from Rosenstein, as well as a letter from Attorney General Jeff Sessions that recommended firing Comey. So Trump decided to take their advice, and notified the FBI by email, along with a letter delivered to the FBI. As this was happening, Trump was calling congressional leaders to make them aware of his decision. Comey himself learned the news from media reports on TV.

One reporter allegedly asked why James Comey didn't receive a phone call letting him know he'd been fired. Sean Spicer responded, “I think we delivered it by hand and by email and that was — and I get it, but you asked me a question and that's the answer."

After answering questions for exactly 10 minutes, the Post reports that Spicer walked back to his office, with his head down, and aides directing reporters not to get too close to him. He then entered the White House, and that was that. Spicey out.

Bow Wow posted a photo of his 'private jet' on Instagram. Too bad a fan was on it.

This is Bow Wow, the rapper and actor formerly known as Lil Bow Wow and originally born as Shad Moss.

My hustle is non stop. I never stop hustling. #GUHHATL

A post shared by Bow wow (@shadmoss) on

On Tuesday, Mr. Wow was swiftly and brutally called out for an Instagram lie, and it's hard to say if even the "hottest show EVER" can dig him out of this ridiculous hole.

Yep, Bow Wow pretended to fly private when he was really flying commercial.

It's hard to blame him, what with everything going on with airlines the last few weeks—no one wants to be associated with those terrifying sky busses.

But come on.

This is a photo that Mr. Wow posted of a private jet.

"Travel day. NYC press run for Growing Up Hip Hop," he captioned it, apparently charting a private jet to New York to promote his new show (the aforementioned "hottest show EVER").

Bow Wow apparently made an innocent mistake, assuming—quite safely, one would think—that he wouldn't have a single fan on his commercial flight to recognize him and call him out.

But the odds were not with Mr. Wow that day. One of his dozens of fans was in attendance, and he called him out swiftly and savagely.

Although Bow Wow did reportedly defend himself on Instagram by saying the tweet was of "an old picture" used by someone "to say where I was and wasn't," that was about the extent of his defense.

And soon a full blown Twitter investigation was underway.

Does that plane look familiar? It's apparently from a stock photo, featured on a VIP transportation website, and evidently later 'grammed by Bow Wow himself.

So it seems like he deserved this:

And the #BowWowChallenge was born:

Good luck on your return flight, Bow Wow.

University posts innocent ad, everyone reads it with their minds in the gutter.

This is a testament to the importance of proofreading in advertisements.

Reddit user MangyRunt recently shared a photo of a poster he saw at a bus stop in West Hampstead, a neighborhood in London. He captioned the photo "Seen in W. Hampstead: cute but unfortunate."

The poster is an ad for London Metropolitan University, and features a graduate of the school named Demi. Demi seems like a pretty wholesome guy. He loves his mum and fried chicken, and has a degree in Biomedical Science. But thanks to some awkward wording, Demi's innocent, wholesome ad doesn't seem so innocent when you read the whole thing.

The ad reads: "Demi - London Met graduate. Loves his mum, fried chicken, and his Biomedical Science degree. Do something you love this September."

As MangyRunt pointed out, the combination of "loves his mum," and "Do something you love" rings some alarm bells for those of us who consistently have our minds in the gutter.

Reddit users, naturally, had some comments.

And just in case you're still not sure what the joke is...

We're 100% positive that London Metropolitan University did not intend to make their ad dirty, but unfortunately, the internet can find innuendos in anything. Sorry, Demi.

Here is Donald Trump's Twitter rant about firing James Comey, translated.

0

President Donald Trump's surprise firing of FBI Director James Comey plunged America into what many legal experts are calling a constitutional crisis, and the president is responding in a calculated, professional matter.

SIKE!! (Do people still say "sike"? Well, they do now) This morning, he's live-tweeting CNN! Despite declaring the network "FAKE NEWS" in a tweet this morning, Trump just can't quit the ol' Cable News Network. So he delivered one of his classic morning Twitter freakouts—his dedication to them being his only consistent position.

Here are Trump's morning tweets, followed by what they actually mean:

Translation: Who woulda thunk that firing the person currently investigating me for Russia connections would be seem as bad?! You'd think that because Comey is the dude whose intervention in the election got me here, they'd be celebrating his ouster! But no, I am bad at politics.

Translation: I will soon be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the presidency.

Translation: I am not even pretending not to be a cartoon villain anymore, and am throwing out such threats as "SOON YOU WILL BE THANKING ME, MWAHAHAHA!"

Now this one's a duo:

Translation: Senator Richard Blumenthal, a member of the legislative branch whose constitutional duty includes serving as a check and balance on the executive (THAT'S ME, MUTHAF**KAS!) ,had the audacity to criticize my move, and I hereby deflect with ad hominem attacks.

Translation: I've been in touch with my BFF, who literally has a tattoo of Richard Nixon's face on his back, but you aren't supposed to know that.

It's gonna be a long day.
