The brand new trailer for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is calling to you, just let it in.

0

The new and final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released last night during Monday Night Football, marking the first time Star Wars fans have ever watched Monday Night Football. It showed some action scenes that are simultaneously new and wonderfully nostalgic. And just like in the previous trailer, there are some mysterious revelations about both the dark side and the light. There's also plenty of controversial new red light saber that caused a stir from the first trailer.

First off, we have more of the new dark side antagonist, Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver. Apparently he keeps that enshrined head of Darth Vader around so he can talk to it. That is some next level weird. Hopefully those new imperial cruisers don't have crawl spaces, because we'd hate to see what other morbid items he collects for conversations. His dialogue with Darth's charred head reveals that he is a fan boy of the once great empire and dark side, even employing some remote torture with his hand, just like Vader:

Nothing will stand in our way.  

Han Solo appears to be the bridge to the original trilogy, like an uncle talking about his glory days on the football team. In a conversation with Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, and Finn, played by John Boyega, he confirms that the storied legends of the dark side and Jedi are fact:

Han is still active in his golden years.

It's true. All of it.

But who is the future of the Jedi? We know that they'll have the help of Oscar Isaac's character, whom we see more of in the final trailer. He even gives a nod of knowing encouragement to Finn before battle, which Finn will definitely need.

There are so many questions left to be answered. While we have a glimpse of Princess Leia, Luke is still nowhere to be (directly) seen. Rey holds a great resemblance to a young Luke Skywalker, while Finn is the one ultimately wielding the blue lightsaber:

This trailer makes some fans uncontrollably excited, while it makes others cry. Sometimes it makes them do both. Just like our new heroine, Daisy Ridley:

May the force be with you as you wait patiently until Christmas for the film's release. And be sure to put a BB-8 droid on your holiday wish list this year. Hopefully they don't market any charred Vader heads.

Ashlee Simpson's baby is 11 weeks old, but already has more Instagram likes than you'll probably get in your whole lifetime. (Was that a good burn?) Simpson, the pop star who can finally rest her head on something real and she likes the way that feels, and husband Evan Ross welcomed their extremely cute daughter into the world in July. They named her Jagger Snow, because celebrities face a lot of social pressure to mixitup with their kid name choices. They wowed us with cute yet artistic family photographs. And now here we are, on the Internet, staring at an even more adorable photo.

All these celebrity baby Instagrams really leave one in awe of the power of technology.

There's a Norwegian tropical house DJ named Kygo, because the world is full of real things that sounds like word barf. DJ Kygo made a remix of Marvin Gaye's iconic sex scene song"Sexual Healing" and vocal seducer John Legend put in an appearance at his show in Los Angeles at the Greek to sing it. He is obviously just trying to make everyone very, very horny with this move. It's not enough that John Legend has impregnated one of the most beautiful women in the world, he now wants to impregnate us all with desire:

On Monday, Ellen chatted with actor Bradley Cooper about their legendary Oscar selfie. It turns out that Cooper's good-spirited nature ruined her attempt to troll Meryl Streep. To refresh your memory, here is the picture:

https://twitter.com/theellenshow/status/440322224407314432

Ellen's intention was to "break the Internet" with an epic selfie, but she also wanted to prank her friend Meryl Streep by having her take the picture so she'd be left out of it. Bradley Cooper then jumped in and offered to take it, fitting more celebrities in (including himself) with his long arm.

Come on, Bradley! Why do you have to be so nice?

You know those 80s movies where a nerdy teen takes off his glasses to reveal he's cool and suddenly everyone's like, "Wow he was there all along, but we didn't even notice?" Well, that's pretty much what happened with IHOP on social media in the last year when the pancake restaurant started rollin out cool-ass tweets like this:

https://twitter.com/IHOP/status/524606157110120448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

And this:

And this:

A lot of people loved the slang-filled, breakfast-centric humor IHOP was dishing out. The restaurant chain even expertly trolled McDonalds when they finally started offering all-day breakfast. But, of course, it was bound to happen. On Sunday, IHOP posted a pancake joke that left a bad taste in people's mouths.

https://twitter.com/AndrewHusband/status/655868210059739136/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Customers reactions were not "on fleek."

You know when someone with the user name @FARTDAUGHTER is mad at you, you screwed up big time, so IHOP took down the tweet and issued an apology.

IHOP's sorry, it likes you just the way you are, girl.

'Gilmore Girls' is being revived. Please, please let Rory not end up with Logan.

The dream is real:Gilmore Girls is coming back for a revival...briefly. We will soon all be treated to four new ninety minute episodes/itty-bitty movies. Not all fans realize that the final season was not run by the creator of Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino. She was fired before the last season as a result of a contract dispute with Warner Brothers, and the show she'd breathed life into was taken in a direction she apparently didn't approve of. She told Entertainment Weekly in 2009:

“I wanted different things for Rory. I wanted her to follow a different sort of path… [go] off on her own adventure, which I guess she sort of did. I haven’t [actually] seen the last season, but I heard about it from other people.”

Rory does break up with rich playboy Logan in the final season, so hats off to whoever made that decision. What a creep that guy was! Look at the scene where he and Rory got together in the first place:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fGjs6a4YYw

What an a-hole! Anyway, the series will be picking up ten years later, and many members of the original cast are reportedly on board, including Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson. Hopefully, Jason Padalecki will be able to take a break from demon hunting in Supernatural to reprise his role as a working-class ex with a chip on his shoulder. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAFQQwSY6EQ

Edward Herrmann, who played Richard Gilmore, is very sadly still dead in real life, so there will be no father figure for Lorelei to react to. Except Luke, of course.

The show will be coming to Netflix at an unspecified time, as according to TV Line's "sources," the ink is barely dry on the contracts. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that Rory ends up with the right guy. Or girl. It's 2015, after all.


Football maniacs record unexpectedly viral rant after getting kicked out of a stadium.

Two devoted Lions fan got kicked out of the Lions vs. Bears game in Detroit on Sunday and made a video outside the stadium to let the world know how pissed they were. They go by "Superfan" and "Detroit Don," and they were kicked out for merely "standing and cheering at the end of the third quarter while [the Lions] were on defense." They've been to over 120 games and have never had a problem until now.

https://www.facebook.com/earl.spring/videos/10205979351535368/

The rant is pretty amazing, but what's more amazing is "Detroit Don," who doesn't talk at all, but whose silent gaze at the camera conveys a more powerful statement than words could ever hope to.

People keep trying things for the first time and yeah, it makes for entertaining videos. Boudoir photography is an old-school, exciting way for women to celebrate their sexual beauty, flaws and all. Three women from Bustle explore three different styles: Pin-Up, Sexy Candy Girl, and what the video straight-up calls "Lingerie and Implied Nudity."

Next time, be sure to bring Pinot Noir in the boudoir.

Beatboxer replicates thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment with a McDonald's cup.

Beatboxer Parker Kane can make some serious dubstep sounds with his McDonald's cup. Most people blow the wrapper off the end of the straw like a missile and think they're heroes, but Parker just upped the game for everybody. He's almost as good as Cara Delevingne with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, (to be fair, she had some backup from The Roots). He's definitely better than Alec Baldwin accompanied by Chance the Rapper. Parker's dubstep makes McDonald's sound like the middle of the club:

Beatboxing seems to bring out the best in people. It's been known to make old women bust a move on the street. It even inspired a flight attendant and a musician to have a jam session in mid-air. Now you can put that cup to use on long road trips, greatly annoying everyone in the car as you attempt to learn beatboxing.

You had to wait 20 years, but you can finally see 'now and then' photos of the 'Now and Then' cast.

Now and Then was released in theaters exactly 20 years ago today. The coming of age film is beloved for a lot of reasons, including that you could see Devon Sawa's butt for a second. It also featured double awesome actresses by showing the same characters as cool tweens in 1970 and mature #girlbosses in 1991. And now, thanks to the perpetual passage of time, we can see what all those actresses look like 20 years after the film, just (approximately) like the time jump the characters in the film make. Trippy, dude. This is probably what Demi Moore thinks about when she gets high. 

Are you a Roberta, a Teeny, a Chrissy, or a Samantha (but not the SATC one)?

You may have noticed one person missing. Sadly, Ashleigh Aston Moore, who played young Chrissy, passed away in 2007.

Since the film has stayed so important to fans long after their crushes on Devon Sawa disintegrated into nothingness, screenwriter I. Marlene King has said she'd love to do a Now and Then TV series. And the characters would be split between their teen years and forties, so yes, the dream of seeing Kiernan Shipka and Amy Poehler play the same character could happen in our lifetime.

Viral Facebook post from a female comic shows the double standards women face all day, every day.

With thousands of likes and shares, British comedian Bisha K. Ali's Facebook post nailing the realities of being a female in modern society have struck a chord all over the world.

Girls really just can't win. Women are hypersexualized and criticized whether or not they give in to these skewed expectations. When it comes to sex, as Allison in The Breakfast Club also explains,

“You’re so adorable! You’re gonna be a heartbreaker one day. Your daughter’s so well behaved. Aren’t you pretty? If you...

Posted by Bisha K. Ali on Monday, October 12, 2015

Here's the transcript of the post:

“You’re so adorable! You’re gonna be a heartbreaker one day. Your daughter’s so well behaved. Aren’t you pretty? If you give me a smile I’ll give you an extra one too. Do you like princesses? Girls aren’t ghostbusters, they’re princesses! You don’t like princesses? Aah you’re a tomboy, that’s cool too. Tomboys are always popular with the boys, but for the wrong reasons. If you want to get a boyfriend you’re better off not being a tomboy. Aren’t you a little young to be dating? Are you really going to wear that outfit? You’ll give people the wrong idea.

Why don’t you show off some skin? Dress a little nicer, that way you’ll be able to find someone. No one’s gonna notice you dressed like that. Never on a first date. What do you mean you don’t feel ready, this is the third date? Frigid bitch.

You fucked him on a first date? What a slut. Have you seen how she dresses? She’s begging for attention. You read comics? You must like all the attention you get from the guys. Oh you like videogames? It’s not gonna score you any points you know.
You can’t dress like that for work, too much leg and too much cleavage. You’re dressed inappropriately. “Aaah I’m so hungover, I got wasted last night and went home with this fit bird but I didn’t even get her name, haha.” Your outfit is distracting in the workplace. You’re gorgeous, I can’t believe you don’t have a boyfriend! You don’t have a boyfriend because you don’t take care of yourself. If you don’t love yourself, how will anyone ever love you?

I can’t date someone who has been with more people than me, or who makes more money than me. Are you taking contraception? I don’t want to deal with all of that, so you should take care of it. Why are you taking contraception? Is it cause you’re sleeping around? He’s not good enough for you, you’re way out of his league. Why are you so stuck up? You should care more about what’s on the inside. He’s stunning, he’s way out of your league. When are you going to settle down?

Congratulations on your engagement, do you think you’ll take his name? It’s traditional, some traditions are just nice to keep up. You’re not changing your name to his, are you? Aren’t you an independent, free thinking woman?

You don’t want kids? But being a mother is part of being a woman. A family isn’t complete without children, I have no idea why you wouldn’t want kids. You’re pregnant! That’s amazing. Did you plan it? Are you going to carry on working? So you’re going to be a stay at home Mum, huh? A housekeeper? Yeah they say it’s a “full time job.” You’re having a kid but you’re going to carry on with your career? Yeah, good luck with that. How can you abandon your children and let someone else raise them while you carry on working? People shouldn’t have kids if they can’t care for them.
Oh wow, she’s so adorable! She’s gonna be a heartbreaker some day.”
- Some stuff people say to other humans.

Most women have been held up to at least one of these double standards and accused of doing everything they do just for the attention of dudes. Everyone can appreciate how much this vicious cycle moves on to bless generations. 

Here's what your face is likely doing right now:

Go to your happy place. Is it a white sandy beach? Perhaps a daffodil filled meadow? Channing Tatum's abs? These are all good options, but if you're 4-year-old Iris Gill from Fayetteville, Arkansas, it's a CVS. She loves the pharmacy so much.

https://instagram.com/p/w7V6TgFPbB/

So freaking much.

https://instagram.com/p/1g4nxVlPS9/

Like so much it makes her cry.

https://instagram.com/p/w3-1MolPSl/

Like so much she wanted her 4th birthday party to be CVS themed, and it was.

Happiest. Cashier. Ever.

It was an unusual request for a pre-schooler (or anyone) but mom Sarah Fortune knocked it out of the park with a party fit for a retail queen! 

She's gonna get so many Extrabucks for this.
This girl's gonna lose her $&*% if she ever goes into a Toys R Us.
So much swag.

“One day it won’t be so simple to make her happy,” Iris' mom wrote, “so for now I take her to CVS when we have a few extra minutes to spare and try my best to make her birthday party special, as tricky as it may be.”

Hopefully she learned how to read in time for this.

It's safe to say little Iris had a wonderful time at her CVS party, and she has the 17 mile long receipt to prove it.

With Halloween getting nearer, makeup tutorials on YouTube are a crucial resource, especially for those dressing up in period costumes. Lisa Eldridge is a professional makeup artist and author of Face Paint: The Story of Makeup, and she made a rad video tracking makeup trends over the last 5,000 years. A historian of facial esthetics, Eldridge tracks how makeup has evolved since Ancient Egypt with some cool factoids, like how Victorian values forced people to lick wrapping paper for their lipstick.

The looks are pretty fly, from Venetian aristocracy:

From history, not The Hunger Games.

...to French Polish...

C'est chic.

...Victorian England...

Straight outta The Crucible.

...to present day.

Bill Murray visited Jimmy Kimmel in 'Black Swan' makeup because he does what he wants.

0

Bill Murray stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live in Black Swan makeup and some sort of Shakespearean or renaissance garb to discuss the Cubs and Mets playoff series. Kimmel is doing a week of shows in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House. Kimmel was born in Brooklyn, and is an avid Mets fan, while Murray hails from Chicago and is a lifelong Cubs fan. They both attended the game on Sunday. Surely everyone thinks there must be a reason that Murray was dressed in this costume; perhaps he lost a bet because his beloved Cubs lost. But the reason is because Bill Murray gets weird whenever he feels like it. Sometimes he goes on TV when it looks like he's had a few drinks. Sometimes he randomly hops in strangers' engagement photos.

Kimmel recalled how the manager of the Cubs sent a guy over to Murray, who was on the field, with the lineup card in the hopes that Murray would touch it for good luck. Murray complied, but continued rubbing the lineup card all over his body. When Kimmel asked Murray if rubbing it on his body was the reason for the Cubs loss, he just didn't think it was enough:

I think we would've won, it's just that I was wearing too many layers.

Jimmy continues to playfully tease Murray about being a possible jinx to the Cubs. But Murray remains blindingly optimistic, like a true and devout Cubs fan. Though Mets fans might say he's as detached from reality as Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Whether you are Cubs fan or a Mets fan, everyone can agree they want Bill Murray on their home team.

Trolls made everyone think they were boycotting 'Stars Wars' because it's too diverse.

As you nerds know, Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens released a new trailer yesterday, but Star Wars mania has been high for some time. Beyond George Lucas's creations, controversy over older, popular films with cult followings getting rebooted and reflecting our more socially conscious world is also constantly brewing. The idea that a bunch of angry white dudes might decide to boycott Stars Wars for featuring both a woman and a black man as two of the main characters is not that far-fetched. And it's almost what happened. The hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII started trending this week, and everyone assumed it was an actual movement and responded as such.

https://twitter.com/mozesislam09/status/656430278848696320

But folks who actually dug through the tweets discovered that the vast majority of people were bashing the boycott concept and supporting the movie, telling anyone who wants to boycott Star Wars for being "anti-white" where they can stick it. Who were they really talking to, though? Who actually cared that one out of the seven feature-length live-action Star Wars movies (not including animated features) has a black protagonist? Well, it turns out that the hashtag was started by a couple of trolls who wanted to see if they could whip the Internet into a froth of righteous anger. Which they accomplished:

https://twitter.com/genophilia/status/656175892914270208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

This sucks for reasons that writer Genevieve Koski outlines very well on Vox:

To be clear, mockery and anger are understandable and reasonable responses in this situation. Ideas like the ones that gave rise to #BoycottStarWarsVII deserve considerable pushback.

But the great irony of social media is that pushing against this type of thing only gives it greater amplification and alerts more people to its existence. For every 100 people who see #BoycottStarWarsVII as a garbage fire, there might be one who somehow finds value in it and spreads the message further.

Spreading misinformation about imaginary movements is easy to do on the Internet. Fake news site NEWSWATCH33 even fooled D.L. Hughley with ridiculous #BoycottStarWarsVII related content:

Suuuuurrrre he did.

The trolls got us. Kinda? There may be no real boycott, but there has been real racist whining about seeing actor John Boyega under the iconic Stormtrooper mask. Also, some of the responses treating the hashtag earnestly are freaking hilarious:

https://twitter.com/BeanoSimmons/status/656460515980496896https://twitter.com/Pillownaut/status/656501732675973120https://twitter.com/heybrian4/status/656515626534596608https://twitter.com/WildeThingy/status/656512542710345728https://twitter.com/DeMarko_Gage/status/656237895888588801

In the end, all this trend is insuring is that more people are probably going to go see Star Wars. #Winning.
