Apple's iPhone recall may at least partially explain your terrible photos.

Your blurry photos aren't your fault, maybe!

You're pictures are only as good as your faulty iPhone camera.

Do you have an iPhone 6 Plus? Did you buy it between the September 2014 and January 2015? Then your out-of-focus photos might not be all your fault! Apple announced that there is a defect with the front camera and they will be fixing it free of charge at any authorized retailer. 

You can enter your phone's serial number here to check if your phone is from the faulty batch, or if you're just not good at iPhone photography. Fingers crossed that it's Apple's mistake, and not due to your inability to focus long enough to take a picture!

Hilary Duff dressed up like Lizzie McGuire in pic that may give you butterfly clip flashbacks.

"If you believe we've got a picture perfect plan..." That's a reference to the Lizzie McGuire theme song, and if you don't know that, you have your work cut out for you.

https://instagram.com/p/6ntX8QNTTM/

Hilary Duff donned her early 2000s-iest overalls and posted a split screen Instagram photo with her TV counterpart, Lizzie McGuire. This was pretty exciting for millennials who grew up loving Hilary Duff on the Disney channel and then became adults loving Hilary Duff doing publicity stunts on Tinder. Though as much as I like the overalls, there are other key Lizzie McGuire apparel items I'd love to see.

Like butterfly clips:

 From Limited Too, probably. (via Youtube)

Or a sweet choker:

Or one of those charm necklaces that clasps like this:

Or, of course, the classic Lizzie McGuire cartoon outfit.

Hopefully there are more thematic #tbts to come. Hilary Duff knows where to do the shopping.

Happy 20th birthday to this amazingly corny Windows 95 tutorial starring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry.

Personal computers may seem intimidating, but they're really your friends! Get it? 'Friends.'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGYcNcFhctc

Happy 20th birthday, Windows 95! On August 24, 1995, we were all introduced to an operating system that would change the world forever (or at least until Windows 98 came along).

Considering the momentous nature of the event, you can't blame Microsoft, which was then at the peak of its powers, from enlisting some serious star power for its training video. Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry were fresh off the first season of Friends, and had just the kind of youthful appeal Bill Gates's clan was looking for. The result: a video we could all enjoy for decades to come.

This video went viral after it was posted to YouTube in 2013, but we decided to bring it back in honor of Windows 95's big day. You're welcome.

Wedding cake goes viral for pioneering new way for couples to compromise on their big day.

Kia and Billy Bunning were planning their wedding and couldn't agree on the most important part: the cake.

Classic "meh."(via Julie Baker)

This cake is like a personality test. One side is an elegant, white flowered wedding cake that probably compliments the bride's dress. It's conservative, but beautiful. A crowd pleaser that's soon forgotten. 

Now, the other side:

MARVELous (sorry).  (via Julie Baker)

Pull back the curtains and BLAMMO! It's a cake for an adventurous vigilante, or someone who has spent so much time reading comics that they must be central to his wedding ceremony for some reason. It's something borrowed, something blue, something old and something that has fought the Green Goblin. 

It's cool that Kia and Billy were able to reach a happy compromise with an awesome, viral cake. Breaking up over dessert, before you even get to eat any, is very sad. Meanwhile, Julie Baker (her last name is BAKER!), the creator of #DoubleTakeCakes (that's her hashtag, she chose it), is pretty sure she's struck gold in cake design innovation, writing on her website:

Very often couples have very varied views on what their wedding cake should look like and it is challenging to incorporate both aspects of their requirements into one creation. But instead of trying to compromise, I decided to play on the differences and accentuate them with sensitivity and humour. 

It is a cool idea, but she really missed an opportunity here to call this a #TwoFaceCake. Like Harvey Dent! From Batman?

Thankfully, he's fine, and it's not as gross as the finger thing.

Remember earlier this summer, when Jimmy Fallon explained in excruciating detail how he almost lost his finger when he tripped and caught his wedding ring on a counter? If not, you can relive the horror here. Now Fallon is at it (getting injured) again with a chipped tooth. He posted an Instagram photo from a dentist's chair and wrote, "Chipped front tooth trying to open tube of scar tissue repair gel for recovering finger injury. Thank you Dr. Jobe DDS! #BestSummerEver Brand new Tonight Show tonight." Poor Jimmy! Can this guy catch a break? Or is falling down just the latest social media power move in the late night wars? 

Guy arrested for insane behavior on the way to his 40th reunion probably didn't get laid much in high school.

He wanted to go to his reunion so badly he chased down a flight on the tarmac.

"High school was the best!" (via Denver Police Department)

Marc Rehmar was apparently running late for his 40th high school reunion, so when he saw the plane begin to push away from the gate at the Denver International Airport, he busted through an emergency exit and ran toward the moving aircraft. Because life is not a romantic comedy, he didn't get to board his flight. Instead, he was arrested and charged with a felony count of endangering public transportation, along with a misdemeanor count of hindering transportation. That sounds like being charged twice for the same thing, but who am I to question the law?

Either way, this reunion story is so darkly funny it belongs on an episode of Louie. It's too bad he wasn't able to finally tell the girl from Honors Bio that he loved her, or whatever made him act so bonkers. Marc is out on $10,000 bond, so hopefully he can see what he missed at the reunion on Facebook.


FBI lets terrorist build death ray, arrests him right as he installs final component.

White supremacist Glendon Scott Crawford has been convicted of attempting to build and use a radiological weapon of mass destruction.


Sadly, this was not the kind of ray gun that makes people start dancing. (via ABC)

Disgruntled white men taking their anger out on society with big guns is nothing new in American society, but very rarely do those big guns merit the charge of conspiring to build WMD. Glendon Scott Crawford, a 51-year-old KKK member from Galway, New York, was convicted on Friday on charges of distributing information with respect to a weapon of mass destruction, use of weapon of mass destruction, and trying to build and use a radiological dispersal device. Specifically, an X-ray weapon he described as "Hiroshima on a light switch," which he hoped to point at mosques and the White House. If this guy had only been Iraq in 2003, he could have justified the whole war. He is the first person to ever be convicted of this.

A few years ago, Crawford and his accomplice—56-year-old Eric J. Feight (since convicted of providing material support to terrorists)—approached the Israeli Embassy, the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York, and the Congregation Gates of Heaven in Schenectady to ask them if they would help him buy an industrial-grade X-ray device for the purposes of killing "enemies of Israel." These groups politely declined his offer and reported him to the FBI.

By April 2012, the FBI had dispatched undercover agents who were secretly recording conversations with Crawford about his plans, which seemed sparked by his conviction that Obama had directed immigration authorities to bring in Muslims to carry out terrorist attacks. Naturally, his response was to plan his own terror attacks. In August 2012, Crawford then traveled to South Carolina to seek funding from Chris Baker, a KKK Imperial Wizard who also turned out to be cooperating with the FBI. 

But here's the weird part, and it factored into his defense attorney's arguments: the FBI was heavily involved in helping him build this device. A device assistant US attorney Rick Belliss called "very real, very viable and very deadly." Crawford and his accomplice Feight both worked for General Electric, but when they became frustrated with the slow pace of their progress, undercover FBI agents apparently helped them acquire the necessary parts and even test a device to remotely activate the X-ray weapon, which would be stored in the back of a truck.

When Crawford and Feight showed up to acquire the final component of their weapon, they were arrested by the FBI. The involvement of FBI agents have led Crawford's attorneys to argue that while he may indeed be guilty of disseminating information about WMDs, the government's involvement in this case is tantamount to entrapment. 

While I do hope this guy is convicted, it does raise the question: are X-ray WMDs real, and if so, why is the government helping terrorists almost build them?

It's been rumored for a while now that Drake and Serena Williams are dating, but here are the blurry, indecipherable photos to prove it.

Maybe she's telling him a secret?(via TMZ)

These may be the first set of terrible photos to show the couple locking lips, but it's not exactly a secret that Drake has been haunting Serena as she travels the pro tennis circuit, straight slaying her competition. Getty is full of photos of him watching her avidly from the crowd:

"YAAAAAAY!"(via Getty)

The two of them were spotted together in Cincinnati, where Serena won the WTA tournament, then presumably went looking for some privacy for her and her boyfriend to enjoy being wildly successful in their respective fields.

"I think they're looking at us." (via TMZ)

According to TMZ's sources, they ordered an $85 steak. Did you know they sold food that expensive in Cincinnati? Blessings to the happy couple and their fancy taste in meat. What you do continues to be very interesting and none of our business.

Does anyone really understand Black Monday?

https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/635807568028434432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Of course they do. They're paying a lot more attention than you. People like Justin Wolfers, an economist at the University of Michigan and contributing columnist to the New York Times, totally get how China devaluing the yuan translates into a sharp rise in the use of stock photos like this:

https://twitter.com/sonicdork/status/635792499022278657

For those of us with less knowledge of economics and lots of fear of phrases like "Black Monday," there's only one thing we want to know: is this as bad as 2008? To that question, we can at least definitively answer "no," at least according to Wolfers' helpful chart showing a 10-year span of stock market growth. If 2008 is like a Florida sinkhole, today's low is like a South Carolina pothole that continually goes un-repaired because our government can't afford to invest in infrastructure without borrowing more money from China (lololol). 

And if that chart is still too complicated for you, Wolfers offers this pithy line for you to repeat at the watercooler today.

You are so right, Justin Wolfers, we assume.

Passenger live-tweets the screaming, sobbing drunk couple breaking up on her flight.

Last night, a lady named Kelly Keegs violated the privacy of a couple after they violated the whole flight with their antics.

"Ok, we're about to take off. This is my moment." (via)

Kelly Keegs' journey started innocuously enough, with this observant joke-y tweet:

https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635587542251896832

Little did she know what she was about to be drawn into:

https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635601861349896192https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635605303904632836https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635605583186538496https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635605996522635264https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635606185496969216https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635606780702289920https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635606943961362432https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635607567994109953

Oh my god! They haven't even taken off yet! What was this guy thinking? You break up on the sidewalk outside her house, then walk away.

There's more. Lots more:

https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635608272184197121https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635608719796080640https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635609003473641472https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635609063880028160https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635609341014487040https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635609432269942784https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635609820800880640https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635610741639397376https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635612088757522436https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635613643523100672https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635614047942115330https://twitter.com/keegs141/status/635625910834700288

Now, that's in-flight entertainment. Or on the runway entertainment, actually. Making out after crying while drinking Bloody Marys sounds absolutely disgusting, BTW. Keegs wrote to Barstool Sports about the end of the flight, saying:

So the two were SO drunk, came on the plane and I just thought they were loud and annoying at first but then she SHRIEKED and started crying loud enough to capture the attention of everyone in the front of the plane. Cut to me tweeting everything, them being SO oblivious to everyone talking shit around them and the guy spilling the worlds biggest bloody mary on his khakis. He made 2 flight attendants come help him clean it all up while the (ex) girlfriend continued to sob in his face. The guy behind me said “I wonder if they’re taking separate ubers home!” while we were getting off, so they prob had to stop at the Hudson News to buy some ice for that sick burn.

A couple breaking up actually brought the rest of the flight together. Cosmic checks and balances, guys.

This is the scariest way you can use markers and pens short of stabbing someone.

After she was bullied by boys for liking 'Star Wars,' this little girl got some weirdly satisfying revenge.

A little girl in Virginia stopped wearing her Star Wars jacket to school because a bunch of mean boys told her that Star Wars isn't for girls. Well, the Stormtrooper costume a bunch of Star Wars fans bought her fits just fine.

The Dark Side has really improved its image. (via io9)

Layla wore her sweet new R2-D2 jacket and Guardians of the Galaxy t-shirt to school, because she is a fan of Star Wars and comic books, like hundreds of millions of other people. But then she abruptly stopped, because the boys at school bullied her and told her that Star Wars, sci-fi, and comic books weren't for her because she was a girl.

Her story went viral and Garrison Tyranus, the Virginia-based chapter of the Star Wars fan organization called the 501st Legion, wanted to tell Layla to be proud of herself and her interests. You see, this is not the first time that a girl has been bullied by guys for liking what they have arbitrarily decided is a guy thing, and the 501st Legion has a protocol in place. In 2010, a girl was bullied for liking Star Wars, and the 501st Legion bought her a kid-size Stormtrooper costume. Last year, it happened to another girl, and the suit was passed down to her.

Earlier this month, the suit was passed down to Layla. Then she got to go backstage at a "Weird Al" Yankovic concert where the 501st was performing on Yankovic's Star Wars songs "Yoda" and "The Saga Begins." Free costume, and a one-on-one with "Weird Al"! Ultimate nerd achievement unlocked!

The Unauthorized Full House Story finally aired on Lifetime on Saturday night.

We'd seen the trailer. We'd made peace with the startling discovery that John Stamos once tried to get Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fired from the show. We'd noticed that the set was completely backwards, and wondered if that was a huge fuck-up or done deliberately to symbolically suggest that this film is meant to be a mirror world. (Probably the first thing, right?)

And now the unauthorized film has aired, allowing the real actors portrayed without authorization to chime in on social media.

Even Real DJ's Boyfriend Steve joined the convo.

And what about the rest of the cast? "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm too focused on counting my money," murmured Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, presumably.

5. Mel Gibson, because he raged out at a paparazzo again.

The calm before the storm.(Getty)

Remember when Mel Gibson was a beloved movie star instead of a notorious racist rageoholic? If you do, then Mel Gibson isn't doing his job. It seems like it's his mission to destroy his own reputation with bizarre outbursts.

This particular incident went down in Australia. TMZ reports that Kristi Miller, a paparazzo for the Daily Telegraph, was taking pictures of Mel and his girlfriend (who probably has it rough enough), when suddenly…

"I turned around [and] he shoved my back really hard ... It shocked me because I wasn’t expecting it. I don't know if it was his hands or elbow."

She also said that Mel "was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I’m not even a human being and I will go to hell."

Maybe he's getting gentle in his old age? He didn't even call her "sugar tits" or mention the Jewish conspiracy. Mel's lawyer is denying that he touched her or shouted anything, and Australian police are investigating. We may never know what happened: this story is a real "he screamed/she said."

4. Megan Fox, because she's going to have to pay up in her divorce.

He'll never half-touch that butt again. (Getty)

Last week, we told you about how Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green's extremely attractive marriage was ending after 5 ridiculously good-looking years. Fox filed for divorce on Friday, and the messy particulars are already being leaked to the press. Here are those particulars in all their messiness.

TMZ is reporting that Fox will likely have to pay spousal support to Green because she makes so much more money than him. He'll still be raking in his piece of those Ninja Turtle royalties years down the road. What's more, the amount Fox will have to pay will likely be hiked up because of Green's dismal potential for future income, the reasons for which are actually really sad.

Last December, Fox and Green were both in a nasty car wreck when their vehicle was struck by a drunk driver. Apparently, Green has suffered from vertigo ever since, preventing him from working at all. That also explains why he and Fox are still living in the same house. Let's hope he gets well soon so he can move out and star in a Battletoads movie. That would show her he's moved on.

3. A Florida woman who claimed she was kidnapped to get out of work.

Did you guess a boyfriend was involved? You win! (stock photo)

Everyone has lied to get out of work before. The problem is that after you do it a few times, you stop getting those precious pity points. That's when you have to up the game and do what Beverly F. Brooks of Panama City, Florida did.

Brooks, a 43-year-old nursing assistant, was working a night shift when she didn't return from her break. Concerned, a coworker called the police at 2:30 AM, launching a search that lasted hours and involved five different law enforcement agencies. When the coworker called Brooks to ask if she needed a ride back to work, Brooks claimed that her boyfriend, 35-year-old James Vincent Hill Fennell, Jr., was holding her against her will and wouldn't let her return. Fennell could be heard on the call, forbidding her from getting out of the car. Definitely a scary situation.

At least, that's what police thought. They widened their search, and that's when they found Brooks and Fennell chilling on the street like it was no big deal. Brooks didn't appear to be in any distress, and when questioned by police, admitted that she made up the story because she didn't want to go back to work.

The News Herald reports that Brooks and her beau were both arrested on misdemeanor counts of false report of a crime. You have to give her points for creativity, but not for follow-through. Unless the call was real, and she just lied to the police to protect her boyfriend. In which case this story is a lot less fun. 

2. Christian vlogger Sam Rader, because he's clearly in some sort of spiral.

His crazy eyes were trying to tell us all along. (via YouTube)

Sam Rader is a Christian vlogger who, along with his wife, runs the extremely popular YouTube channel Sam & Nia. The two post videos of their #blessed life as godly, attractive people with attractive kids. Also, they look slightly unhinged.

Formerly a nurse, Sam recently quit to devote himself full-time to vlogging. Shortly thereafter, his channel reached new heights with a viral clip of him stealing his wife's pee out of the toilet and running a pregnancy test. He surprised her with the news that she was pregnant and promptly broke the Internet. Days later, the two tearfully announced that they had lost the baby, receiving an outpouring of sympathy, as well as allegations that the entire thing had been fake. But now, nobody even remembers that.

Last week, it was revealed that Sam had an Ashley Madison account for cheating on Nia. After hackers exposed him, he confessed. It seems his emotions are still running high over the incident, because over the weekend, he got into an altercation with another vlogger at a vlogging conference and was thrown out for threatening to get violent.

What a rollercoaster month it's been for this unnervingly intense man. Vlogger/musician Meghan Tonjes, who was also present, put it best in this tweet:

https://twitter.com/meghantonjes/status/635219544156475392

Sam and his entire family are asking for privacy in this difficult time. Just kidding, that's the last thing they want.

1. Oh, and stockbrokers, because the economy is imploding or something.

I'll ask them to explain what's going on when they calm down. (Getty)

It's not as big a story as the vlogger who got in a fight, but this story is still worth reporting. Stock markets around the world are crashing today in an event that's been dubbed Black Monday. NBCNews reports that The Down Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,000 points in the first few seconds of trading today, and has picked up only a fraction of that in the hours since.

The problem stems from China, which has been having serious economic woes recently. The country devalued its currency two weeks ago, causing a crisis of confidence among financial experts the world over that just couldn't be settled by buying another Ferrari. A cascade of major stock sell-offs followed in Europe, and today, in the United States.

In case you're worried this crash is as big as the financial meltdown of 2008, don't be. Nothing could be as catastrophic as that disaster, which will probably negatively affect us all for the rest of our lives. In comparison, this was just a moderate debacle. To explain the difference, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers made this chart of the S&P 500 over the past 10 years.

As you can see, today's plunge is nothing compared the the one in 2008. Markets are already bouncing back, and America's financial leaders will definitely find some way to use this as justification to collect more wealth into the hands of the top 0.001% and further destroy the middle class. So relax.

Nicki Minaj started posting pictures of her Instagram haters, and sh*t got too real.

Nicki Minaj has a bunch of haters who feel the need to say something negative about everything she posts, even if it's an innocuous picture of her brother's wedding. Instead of just accepting this as a natural consequence of her celebrity and the nature of the Internet, she announced on Twitter Sunday morning that she was taking a stand by posting their pictures to her millions of followers:

She followed through with her word, posting pictures of her harassers on social media:

People accused Nicki of cyberbullying, so the pictures were quickly taken down, but she still managed to make a great point about how the vast, anonymous nature of the Internet makes people act shitty and hypocritical:

I pray that this actually leads to a social media campaign in which celebrities just start shitting on random people for no reason. Oh wait, Donald Trump exists. Never mind.

A man was given a bionic penis. Now he is better. Faster. Stronger.

Mohammed Abad is a 43-year-old virgin who has just received a high-tech bionic penis right out of the box from University College London.

Abad lost his penis when he was only 6 years old, after being dragged down the road under a car. Yes, that is absolutely horrible. But he has apparently never lost faith that he might someday get to experience penetrative sex, as he's undergone over 100 surgeries that commenced with a several skin grafts from his arm.

Where do the bionics come in? The structure holding all those skin grafts together is eight inches in length, with two tubes that inflate with fluid when he presses on a button on his testicles. You can listen to him talk about it more explicitly here with The Sun, who hopefully paid him a lot of money for this interview:

Abad was married for a year to a woman who didn't know about his accident before the ceremony. They are now separated, but maybe some media attention will help him find a lady who wants to push ALL his buttons.
