Jaden Smith is modeling Louis Vuitton womenswear to prove literally nothing.

0
0

Jaden Smith wore clothing marketed to women as part of a campaign for Louis Vuitton and for no other reason than to sell clothing, the clothing company announced on Saturday. That's right: the 17-year-old son of Jada Pinkett Smith​ and Will Smith—famous for his philosophical musings on, like, The Nature Of Time And Sh*t—posed in a skirt and a cute fringed top because he was paid to do so as part of an advertisement, and not to quote the lyrics to "Running Up That Hill" in Sanskrit or something.

There's obviously nothing wrong about any of this—or, frankly, subversive, despite what Louis Vuitton probably thinks or whatever Jaden told them While Capitalizing Every Word. Still, it's surprising that the phrase "prana energy" never found its way into the marketing. Here are some more, even less subversive models posing alongside Jaden:

A guy had the best company for watching the Packers game after rescuing a cat in the stands.

Attendees sometimes leave baseball games with free stuff like caps or foam fingers, but this is a new one: during Sunday's Chiefs-Raiders football game at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, one lucky fan got a free cat

https://twitter.com/christhorman/status/683785080964288512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/TacoSalazarKC/status/683814220710973441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The guy (seen here wearing a Packers jersey) was photographed holding the cat by people at the game who thought he'd snuck the kitty in. Turns out, he'd actually found the cat in the stairwell of the stadium and decided to keep it rather than turn it over to security—even when security tried to take it!

https://twitter.com/donehavinfun/status/684006655793598464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/donehavinfun/status/684007601827229696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/donehavinfun/status/684007752079773696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

We can only hope he doesn't bring it back when he finds out it's not a Packers fan. 

5 people having a worse Monday than you.

5. Anyone with money, because there isn't any money anymore.

Happy New Year! The economy is in the toilet. That may not sound like news to you, but it is. Despite how bad the global economy was in 2015, it still found a way to take a nosedive today.

Following a disappointing report on Chinese manufacturing, markets around the world have been experiencing major selloffs. In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank more than 400 points before rallying in the afternoon, finishing 276 points lower than this morning. That's enough to make a lot of finance types start sweating in their stripey shirts.

Their grip is slipping. The Revolution is near.

Although this is a scary drop, in context it's actually not so bad. This crash isn't even one of the worst 10 days in the past decade. In previous decades, it would have been disastrous, but everyone is used to the economy occasionally breaking down these days. It's like an old car. An old American car.

And this may also make you feel better: yes, today is a bad day for anybody with money. But statistically, it's unlikely you have any money anymore. So relax!

4. Britney Spears, because she got stuck on a tree during a concert.

It seemed like Britney Spears had gotten her life under control: headlining a popular standing gig at Planet Hollywood, playing games with Kate Hudson, telling men to suck her toe… but none of that helped her on Saturday night, when she found herself stuck up a tree like a stray cat being chased by dogs.

During her performance of "Toxic," a rotating tree on the set malfunctioned, leaving her stuck without an exit strategy. As she stood resplendent in her red bodysuit, a black-clad stagehand had to meekly crawl up behind her and lead her back the way she came. As TMZ's clip shows, it was awkward:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9xygda6F0o

Of course, Spears is the pro of all pros, and carried on with the show like it was the merest hiccup. Not that it's any surprise. If she can handle her outfit popping open onstage, she can handle being treed for a minute.

3. Donald Trump, because his speeches are being used to recruit terrorists (for real this time).

The orange, grimacing Republican front-runner.

You may recall an incident from a few weeks ago, in which Hillary Clinton was forced to apologize to Donald Trump after falsely suggesting that footage of him was being shown to potential recruits by ISIS. Now, a new report is setting the story straight: it wasn't ISIS. It was a different terror group.

A 51-minute recruitment video from the Somali terror organization Al-Shabaab (the Hydrox to ISIS's Oreos) includes footage from a speech last month, in which Trump called to ban Muslim immigration into the US. According to AOL, the video also includes archived audio of al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying:

There are ominous clouds gathering in your horizon. Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching, and Ku Klux Klan … And tomorrow it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps.

Strong words, although they might have more impact if they didn't come from the guy from al-fucking-Qaeda.

Asked to respond to this update on Fox News's Fox & Friends, Trump decided to take the high road and focus on how Hillary was wrong:

It wasn't ISIS and it wasn't made at the time, and she lied.

Classy as always.

2. Madonna, because she's in for a bitter custody battle.

After that soberingly real story about world politics and terrorism, it's time for you to soak into the warm relaxing fluff celebrities and their personal problems. Sure, it's none of your business, but that's why it's fun.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie in 2008, when they were still together but visibly unhappy.

TMZ reports that Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie are gearing up for a no-holds-barred cage match of a custody battle over their 15-year-old son Rocco. The teenager has decided he wants to live with his father (the director of movies including Snatch and Sherlock Holmes) in London, because his mother (the singer of "Hey You") is too controlling and doesn't pay him enough attention. It's the kind of sad domestic feud that occurs in so many families, not just the famous kind that people care about.

Here's hoping that everything will be worked out amicably. Or, if it doesn't, that Madonna doesn't get stuck up a tree. That's the last thing she needs.

1. Hitler, because the copyright on Mein Kampf is expiring.

If the stories in this roundup have been depressing so far (except the tree, that was awesome), take comfort in this one: Hitler's having a tough day too. Despite the obvious fact that he's been dead since he shot himself in 1945, he's also losing creative control of his "baby": the 1925 autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf.

Adolf Hitler, a real jerk.

The book, which translates to My Struggle in English (because he was SUCH a victim), has been out of print in Germany for 70 years. But as soon as 2016 dawned, the book's copyright officially expired, putting it into the public domain. Now, any German bookstore willing to endure the stinkeye will be able to sell it or even display it proudly in the window.

So why is it bad news for Hitler that his book will be once again be available in his old stomping grounds? Because being in the public domain means that the book is fair game to be changed in any way the publisher chooses. Some historians are planning to release critical editions of the book, with footnotes explaining in detail why Hitler's anti-Semitic ravings don't actually make sense.

And that's only the beginning. Will Mein Kampf get the Jane Austen treatment? (Her public domain novel Pride and Prejudice was turned into Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.) A book published under Hitler's name that includes a new scene of him being eaten zombies would be fun. And the proceeds could go to refugee relief. That would show those Nazis.

Montage showing Jared Leto's face age over 24 years accidentally outs him as a vampire.

Moviepilot Video posted a time-lapse video today of ​Jared Leto's changing looks over the course of his 24-year career. Proving that time is not a flat circle-- it's a cold hearted b*tch stealing your youth with each passing minute. The video starts off in the early 90's when Leto was at peak sexiness as illiterate hottie Jordan Catalano on My So Called Life, and continues through his many looks over the years. There's clean-cut Leto, olden-times Leto, scary bleach-blonde Leto, hot Jesus Leto, and even lady Leto, finally going all the way to 2015 where he's playing a scary meth'ed-out looking version of the Joker in the soon-to-be-released Suicide Squad movie.

While he stays looking inexplicably young (there's a solid 80% chance he's a vampire), his wildly varied hair and fashion choices are so drastically different over the years that you might not even recognize the actor if it wasn't for those signature dead eyes. Here he is aging (sort of?) 24 years in less than a minute:

https://www.facebook.com/moviepilotvideo/videos/905167096199097/?theater

And here he is 2 days ago.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAC0xyCTBdD/?taken-by=jaredleto

Go ahead and cover up with all the hair and breathable cotton blends you can find... we still know you're in there, 90's Leto.

Blink once if you want to make out.

A pony was only one of many bizarre items left at Travelodge hotels in 2015.

0
0

Everyone's left behind something at a hotel. Usually it's a small item that's, well, easily forgotten, because some things, like a pony, are typically harder to leave behind when traveling. Or so you'd think.

Last year, a person left a Shetland pony named Pudding at a Travelodge hotel in Ayr, Scotland.

"Please come back."

How? His owner popped out do some errands, as people do, then just somehow neglected to remember that he'd left a pony at his hotel. 

The pony was one of a many impossible-to-forget items found in empty Travelodge hotel rooms. The UK chain's list of most bizarre things people somehow misplaced in 2015 also includes a canoe, a grandfather clock, and a prenup (seems like something you'd double check for). There were also some humans: Seamus in Bournemouth, England probably should get some new friends after he was ditched at a Travelodge, and another guest left behind their mother-in-law, June. That may have not been an accident.

Pudding, if you're still at the Travelodge, try a few doors down. There's a man name Seamus who sounds like he could use a friend.

Teacher Ron Clark is pretty famous, for a teacher. He's won a bunch of awards, been named a "Phenomenal Man" by Oprah Winfrey, and he had a made-for-TV movie about his life starring Matthew Perry! He also has his own non-profit academy in Atlanta, Georgia, where he implements his teaching philosophies. It might be safe to assume they're most about the power of dance, because LOOK AT THIS VIDEO:

https://www.facebook.com/ron.clark.54966/videos/10156343031455366/?fref=nf

Yes, that's Mr. Ron Clark in the back there, meeting the #DoItLikeMeChallenge, inspired by rapper DLOW. DLOW doesn't think anyone can do it him, and if you look through that hashtag on Twitter, he's close to right. But Ron Clark and his incredibly talented students are nailing it pretty hard. Feel free to compare:

Strapping a dead shark to your car is, um, certainly one way to personalize it.

Julie Wright was driving in Western Australia—famous for kangaroos, spiders raining from the sky, Christmas in summer, Crocodile Dundee and, of course, sharks—when she shot a quick video of a car with a large shark strapped to its bull bar (a mechanism designed to prevent collision damage to the front of a vehicle). Safety Bay, indeed—safe for humans, maybe, but certainly not for sharks. 

https://www.facebook.com/JulieNCraig/videos/10153492528118392/

The shark's species hasn't been identified, although some people have speculated that it's a tiger shark. It's also worth noting that it may be too big to have been legally caught. Or maybe they just hit the shark while driving? It is Australia, after all.

Taylor Swift's music video for 'Out of the Woods' features the scariest trees since 'Snow White.'

Taylor Swift, the pop star the Internet could go either way on at any given moment, premiered a new music video on New Year's Eve for "Out of the Woods." You might have missed it because, you know, it was New Year's Eve. The song is inexplicably the sixth single from her 2014 album 1989, despite the fact that it's arguably the album's second best song. And the music video, while not subtle, is pretty gorgeous and features lots of scary trees and wolves and mud:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLf9q36UsBk

There are some clear parallels to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs here, which makes sense because Taylor Swift loves her some fairytales:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zrs7Irzuw

Apparently, Swift "suffered for her art" while making this video, like a regular Christian Bale. This is according to the video's director:

Also, it's definitely about Harry Styles.

This metal singer's shepherd's pie tutorial is the cooking video you didn't know you needed.

Linzey Rae, a vocalist for the Denver-based metal band The Anchor, created this hilarious, insane, and surprisingly action-packed cooking video, "Metal Kitchen," on Dec. 31st with her band. In this very metal cooking tutorial, Rae sings (unless "metals" is a verb, in which case she metals) her recipe for Shepherd's Pie over a video of her preparing it while a (metal) fire breaks out and her (metal) cat wanders around.

The Ghost Inside Makes Shepard's Pie

Download the song here: https://theanchor.bandcamp.com/track/the-ghost-inside-makes-shepards-pie Every dollar donated will be given to The Ghost Inside. Thank you for your continual support and love. It means the world to us.

Posted by The Anchor on Thursday, December 31, 2015

The Anchor members have been surprised by the video's popularity, but were extra pleased since it was created to raise funds for The Ghost Inside, a metalcore band that suffered a tour bus crash in November. As they mention online to people who were skeptical that Rae was vocalizing, the sound was recorded separately from the video and is a little off at points. Here's an Instagram video of Rae recording in the studio under more normal settings.

If you're really hungry now, remember that this is a stove-top-only recipe. You can't mix microwaves with metal. You can download the song here, though.

This sweatshirt has an inflatable sleep hood so you can be lazy anywhere.

If your biggest complaint about life is that you can't sleep in more public places, good news, you lazy jerk: a start-up has designed a hoodie with an inflatable hood that provides an insta-pillow wherever and whenever you need it.

The company is called Hypnos, and it's probably named after the Greek Goddess of Start Ups or something (fine, it's just the god of sleep). As a company, Hypnos is quick to hyperbole; the company's slogan appears to be "Where dreams live," as if they're advertising either Disneyland or the inside of your brain and not a decently fashionable hoodie that'll let you fall asleep on the subway.

The Kickstarter has already raised more than double the initial amount they asked for; a pledge of $49 will get you your very own basic hoodie. The campaign ends January 11.

John Stamos and Jimmy Fallon tried and failed to guess what the heck kids are talking about.

Monday night onThe Tonight Show, John Stamos and Jimmy Fallon played a game of "Kid Dictionary." Parents sent in videos of their kids defining words, and it was up to John and Jimmy to guess what the F the children were trying to define. Stamos is famous for being a cool uncle to kids on TV, and Fallon is a professional child (right down to the clumsy accidents), so it seemed natural to have them translate kidspeak into English.

In the clip, Stamos gets sassy with Fallon, lamenting that of all the show's crazy games (including getting pushed into a phone booth and playing puppy trivia with puppies) he gets stuck with "a dud." But it's the fact that Stamos doesn't like the game that makes it so much fun to watch.

Waste your first week back at work with this strangely addictive 18th century wig maker.

The Internet has made so many things easier: responding to our friends with up to six different emojis, sending farts through the mail, and now the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has an online tool just for designing your own elaborate 18th-century wig. Yes, those powdered, over-decorated hindrances that graced high-society heads in the 1700s. And just like watching this dog eat corn on the cob, using the tool to make highly impractical headgear is a strangely soothing way to spend your time online.

Dressing up in the 18th century was like putting yourself at ground zero of an atomic bomb blast of fancy shit.

Plus, when you powder the wig, the wig-making tool puts a spray cone on the model's face that makes her look like one of the MAD Magazine Spy vs. Spy guys, and the powder comes out of some sweet-ass bellows:

This wig image just needs a few lines of dialogue, and it'll become a successful alt-history dystopia film pitch.

Justin Bieber Instagrammed his 'douche bag' hair and now he's accused of cultural appropriation.

Justin Bieber has been on a mending fences tour for about a year now, releasing some amazing songs from his new album, dealing graciously with having pictures of his peen snapped, and letting Martha Stewart roast him over a spit. But this week, he returned to breaking hearts by posting lots of pics of Hailey Baldwin that make it pretty clear there's canoodling afoot. Like this one:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAGLktogvj2/?taken-by=justinbieber

Could they be dating? If a picture of them making out doesn't convince you, this will: she suckered him into getting cornrows and taking a picture and ALSO posting it to Instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAIQk7rgvtR/

Oh, Delilah. You've brought a man down by his hair! No one is pleased with this photo. Many are calling it cultural appropriation. Others are just still mad about him dating Baldwin.

https://twitter.com/tattedtour/status/684113256114470912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Justin Bieber having his hair braided into cornrows for a day could be attributed to new love or he could be a cultural appropriative monster, it's hard to say. He previously came to the defense of Kylie Jenner when she did basically exactly the same thing on her Instagram, writing in the comments:

Whatever position you take, watch this video again, because it's amazing:

Australian comedian Celeste Barber hilariously recreates celebrity Instagrams, pointing out how ridiculous they look when attempted by the non-famous. With their makeup crews, Photoshop, and superior genetics, celebrities shower, eat, wake up, sleep, and even get teeth pulled better than everyone else. Barber's side-by-side images show that celeb status is not even worth aspiring to because it's so beyond fake. Check out some of her gems:

14 photos that perfectly capture how nose-numbingly cold it is right now.

It's very cold out there right now. Sure, it's January, but it's unseasonably freezing, even in the coldest, most northern parts of North America where you assume it's always like that. Things are starting to go a little nuts.

1. Cold-blooded murder.

Paper beats rock. Ice airplane beats paper airplane.

2. Cartsicle.

Don't forget the ice cream. And a bag of ice.

3. The one time it won't get stolen.

Hey, at least it wasn't a car.

4. Thin ice.

Hey, at least it wasn't your bike.

5. Better than tinted windows.

You can't see through it. Or move it in any way.

6. A rose by any other name…

…would still be bewilderingly frozen solid.

7. A negative image.

Speed Limit 25, meet -25 degrees.

8. "Stop" being so cold, RIGHT YOU GUYS?

That ice needed some chicken, fast.

9. Fresh off the grill.

Very fresh.

10. Fenced in.

It looks like it's electrified, which sounds so warm and toasty.

11. Not gingerbread.

And not frosting.

12. Make yourself useful, snow.

Should probably close the door, though. It's cold out there.

13. Climate change just might be real.

Penguins. That need a heater. That can't be good.

14. "But why was there just one set of footprints?"

"Because the dog decided it was too cold to go outside."

This baby just discovered her belly button and she is not cool with it.

0
0

This baby girl was very concerned when she discovered her belly button for the first time. Her reaction was a fun display of several early childhood milestones in cognition and motor skills.

Sometimes kids enjoy learning they have control over their bodies, like the baby who realized he could wiggle his eyebrows. But after noticing her navel, this girl was not a fan of her inability to remedy this newly found feature.

First, she found something she thought should not be on her body. She assumed a few swipes with her little arms would make short work of it, like anything else stuck to a belly. When at first she did not succeed, she tried, tried again. Her distress and frustration grew when she couldn't get rid of it, much to joy of the parent who taped this and tried not to laugh loudly:

https://youtu.be/gZx4cc6vrO8

Resistance is futile! The belly button stays, kid. This should also be a lesson for her not to get distracted while driving and keep her eyes on the road. Just imagine what would have unfolded if she had an outie belly button.

Seasons of love.

Brilliant anti-social employee finds handy way to fend off back-to-work small talk.

An employee found an ingenious method for avoiding typical post-holiday small talk: answering every question in advance with a sign at their desk. Not necessary, you say? Wait until you come to the end of the week and count how many times you had the same conversation about New Year's resolutions.

Every office has at least one Linda.

To play devil's advocate, though: everyone hates small talk, but it's a basic social lubricant that ultimately makes people who don't have a ton in common feel comfortable, and if you can't handle that maybe you just hate people who aren't exactly like you?

GOOD DAY TO YOU, REDDIT POSTER BecauseImOnlyHuman. GOOD DAY.
