David Bowie's will was released, and he left money to some of his employees.

0
0

The details of David Bowie's will were released yesterday, with plans for his remains and $100 million worth of assets. Bowie passed away from cancer at the age of 69 earlier this month. He left much of his fortune to his wife and children, but he also left money to a personal assistant and former nanny.

The musical legend left much more than a new album behind to cement his legacy. His wife Iman will receive approximately half his fortune, while his son, Duncan Jones, and daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, both received about 25% of the estate. 

He continues to defy expectations.

Marion Skene, of Switzerland, who was Duncan’s nanny, was left $1 million. Friend and personal assistant Corinne Coco Schwab of Manhattan, will receive $2 million.

Bowie also specified instructions for his remains:

I direct that my executors shall arrange for my remains to be taken to the country of Bali and to be cremated there in accordance with the Buddhist rituals of Bali. If that is not practical, then I direct that my executors shall arrange for my remains to be cremated and my ashes scattered in Bali.

There will not be a formal funeral for Bowie. But hilarious stories about him mocking Ricky Gervais or turning down a collaboration with Coldplay because their song sucked will live forever.


A Bradley Cooper look-alike released a video of himself interacting with fans at Sundance.

Earlier this week it was revealed there was a Bradley Cooper look-alike wandering the Sundance Film Festival, and now the doppelgänger has released a video of his interaction with fans. It turns out there is not one but two men who look exactly like Bradley Cooper, because they are identical twins.

Matt and Scott Katzenbach are identical twins that look identical to Cooper. Matt decided to have some fun with it, and that's when the pictures began surfacing from Sundance of fans posing for pics with him. Now Matt has released a video compilation of his experience with fans when they assume he's the real deal. He also followed precise instructions from Vanity Fair on how to best impersonate Cooper after they wrote an article about his antics at the festival:

https://youtu.be/FOtHQ7UnZFA

Having harmless fun with unsuspecting fans and festival attendees is great, and hopefully there's more footage of him receiving free meals or VIP access to festival screenings. If you're going to use your doppelgänger gift, use it to the best of its ability.

Watch a surfer drop 40 feet from an insane wave in Maui and somehow live to brag about it.

Surfer Tom Dosland posted a video to Instagram of himself falling off a gigantic wave at a famous surfing spot in Maui known as Jaws. Thankfully, it did not receive its name due to danger of sharks, but rather because of the world-famous wave break it produces for daring surfing. Dosland caught the top of the wave and little else:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBG46womt4b/?taken-by=tommyd_4

Crazy day at jaws yesterday. I never felt so alive!! thank you for all the love! 

Dosland can now take out his phone at any time to show the video of the monster wave that got away. And he's lucky he still has his choice of arms to hold a phone with after falling off a wave with such crazy height.

There's an official petition to get Snoop Dogg to narrate 'Planet Earth' documentaries.

A petition on change.org has over 33,000 signatures for Snoop Dogg to narrate Planet Earth. It's not a random request, since a video recently resurfaced of Snoop on Jimmy Kimmel Live narrating a short nature video. That segment was appropriately titled "Plizzanet Earth."

Fans aren't the only ones that would like to hear Snoop narrate a future episode of Planet Earth. Snoop heard about the effort and tweeted his full support:

https://twitter.com/SnoopDogg/status/692806647773827073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Studious and ready to roll.

This could truly become one of the best collaborations of all time.Hopefully executives at BBC, which produces Planet Earth, have a good sense of humor and don't mind a lot of smoke in their voice-over booth.

J.K. Rowling writes new descriptions of wizard schools in Brazil, Japan, Africa, N. America.

0
0

Ruler of the Harry Potter universe (and social media powerhouse) J.K. Rowling has published new writings on the official Pottermore website, describing of the Hogwarts equivalents in North America, South America, Japan, and Africa. The new schools (if thousand-year-old institutions can be called new) are named Ilvermorny, Castelobruxo, Mahoutokoro, and Uagadou, respectively. Fans of the Potterverse will get to see Ilvermorny in upcoming film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, which will take place in the United States in 1926. Until viewers can visit Ilvermorny, however, this new description is the closest they can get—and that goes double for Castelobruxo, Mahuotokoro, and Uagadou. Here's what you need to know:

1. Ilvermorny 

https://twitter.com/pottermore/status/693248531541397504

Because there will be a movie set there soon, Rowling published the fewest details about Ilvermorny. The North American school of witchcraft and wizardry is located somewhere either in the northeast of the United States or eastern Canada. Founded not long after the arrival of European settlers on the continent, Ilvermorny nevertheless relied on "indigenous magic" in the beginning, perhaps in the way Europeans relied on Native American farming knowledge to gain a foothold in America.

https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/607458078427082752

The fact that Rowling referenced multiple tribes could indicate upstate New York—the home of the Iroquois Confederacy of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations. Also, they definitely take a trip to New York City in the new movie. Others have speculated that the name might be an Anglicization of a French name, "Île Vert Morne, "Green Hill Island." Given Hogwart's location, an island school in Lake Erie or Lake Ontario might be a good neutral ground between the French, the English, and the Iroquois.

2. Castelobruxo

https://twitter.com/pottermore/status/693252309397192704

Castelobruxo is "an imposing square edifice of golden rock, often compared to a temple" located "deep within the rainforest" of Brazil. Like Hogwarts, Rowling writes, the building appears to be an ancient ruin to any Muggle lucky enough to stumble upon it by accident. Instead of centaurs, giant spiders and whatever Hagrid happens to bring home, the woods around Castelobruxo are protected by Caipora, "small and furry spirit-beings who are extraordinarily mischievous and tricky." The school excels in Herbology, Magizoology, and Quidditch, and is a popular exchange destination for foreign students (although Rowling takes time out of her day to note that the ever-suffering Weaselys are too poor for this). 

3. Ougadou

https://twitter.com/pottermore/status/693256091833122816

Carved into a misty cliff to look like it's floating, Ougadou is over one thousand years old, the largest of the eleven major wizarding schools, and the alma mater of Babajide Akingbade, the successor to Albus Dumbledore as the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards. As problematic as it may be that the gigantic, multi-lingual, multi-cultural but often lumped-together continent of Africa gets only one school to Europe's three (in England, France, and Scandinavia), Rowling does note that there are multiple schools in Africa, of which Ougadou is the most renowned. Many of the magical teachings pre-date the invention of wands (requiring only hand gestures), and in addition to Astronomy and Alchemy, Ougado students are best known for their mastery of transformation. Prof. McGonagall's ability to become a cat, for example, looks a lot less cool compared to the potential to suddenly become an elephant. Perhaps the most daydream-inspiring part of the school is how it delivers acceptance letters to students—Dream Messengers. "The Dream Messenger will appear to the children as they sleep and will leave a token, usually an inscribed stone, which is found in the child’s hand on waking."

4. Mahoutokoro

https://twitter.com/pottermore/status/693260337085284352

Although it has the fewest students, Mahoutokoro pupils start at just seven years old (as opposed to 11 for Hogwarts), but spend their first few years flying back home every day on the backs of giant seabirds. The school sits atop the tiny and (supposedly) uninhabited island of South Iwo Jima (not the main Iwo Jima), and the fact that Quidditch players have to practice at extremely low altitude over choppy waves to avoid detection by American aircraft from nearby bases means their players are some of the best in the world. Mahoutokoro students receive a magical kimono when they begin their studies that grows with them over time and changes color as their attain knowledge—unless they turn evil or break the wizard code of secrecy, in which case it will become bright white. Anyone who has "turned white" is instantly expelled and put on trial. Rowling added that the school is made of "mutton-fat jade," a pale, translucent stone.

A cat left home looking for his human deployed in the Marines. 4 years later, they're reunited.

0
0

Former U.S. Marine Robert Connell was reunited with his cat Hemi this week after four long years—according to Connell's wife Jennifer, the cat went looking for Robert during a deployment and never returned. Making matters worse, Connell says Hemi basically doubled as his therapist, someone who would calmly listen to him as he shared his feelings about suffering from PTSD. "Before I had kids, the only thing I could connect to was [this] cat," Connell said, "I never knew a cat would get attached to me, or [I'd] get attached to it."

After the Connell's despaired of finding Hemi, they eventually moved to North Dakota, but Hemi was apparently still on the mission. Earlier this month, Hemi was found by Craven Pamlico Animal Services wandering around the Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, North Carolina, where Connell had been stationed. When the big January blizzard canceled Hemi's flight to North Dakota, an impatient Connell drove out to get him. "Geez, you look a little older and wiser," the former Marine said upon seeing his buddy. Connell then told the cat all about the big yard they had in North Dakota, and gave voice to what he assumed Hemi was thinking: "Alright, take me to the life of being pampered now."

Nick Offerman's face has been stolen by a public toilet in India. He approves.

Mustachioed mascot of manliness Nick Offerman has had his face very appropriately appropriated as the symbol for the men's room on a public toilet in Madurai, India. This photo was uploaded to Facebook by Michelle Blimes, and later went viral on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/KenTremendous/status/688171951232135168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/MichelleBlimes/status/688374955797532673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

But in a nation where 60% of inhabitants still lack regular access to safe and sanitary toilets, if his face encourages anyone to start making the trek to this flush toilet, then this copyright theft basically amounts to unintentional humanitarian work by the Parks and Recreation actor.

https://twitter.com/emilygee/status/692276749682544640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

India loses 140,000 children every year to diarrhea, almost universally caused by poor sanitation, and millions more have their growth stunted by infected water supplies. As a result, Offerman has taken a decidedly chilled-out approach in his reaction to his face being used like this.

https://twitter.com/Nick_Offerman/status/688182609227034626

If all those child mortality statistics got you down, enjoy this image Offerman's wife Megan Mullally posted of Offerman's face with an enlarged mustache covering his teeth in this humorous dentist ad:

Man tells friend "don't go outside" seconds before nature tries to fry them and they freak out.

There's not too much dialogue in this video uploaded by SailorJerry95 of two Australian-sounding fellows looking out over some docks in a storm and almost getting turned into Aussie fritters. It's mostly "dude, don't go outside," followed by a petulant "I'm not, I'm not," (he was) followed by God saying "listen to your friend" (in the form of a giant bolt of electricity), all wrapped up with them screaming "I felt it!" and just screaming in general. All in all, this is about as much man-vs-the-elements drama as you can fit into 22 seconds:

Roommate spends months hiding masturbation efforts only to create a phallic fungi time bomb.

Most adults these days have had a roommate, and you've probably heard some anecdotes about gross ones—but you probably haven't heard one yet about a roommate who was so shy about his self-pleasuring habits that he let a pile of used tissues grow over months and months into a self-contained mushroom forest. Well, all that is about to change thanks to an Indonesian redditor, TemiTemoy, who posted this image with the caption "Tonight I discovered these penis-shaped mushrooms that grew on my roommate's jerk off tissues." Here's what that looks like, since you're obviously curious:

Welcome...to Jerkoffic Park!

Obviously, people are very excited that tissues encrusted with semen give rise to such specifically-shaped mushrooms (not that most mushrooms aren't slightly penisy)—it does have a certain poetic justice to it.

This just feels inappropriate, even though it's technically not.

As mentioned, this image comes to the Internet from Indonesia, and TemiTemoy blames the conservative culture of that country (in part) for the disgusting situation he finds himself in now. Temi said basically the roommate never emptied out the bin in order to keep Temi from finding out the he masturbated (besides the clue of him being alive). The other part of the blame is clearly the lazy, gross roommate. Here's Temi's explanation of how this situation grew into existence:

Moral of the story? Never clean your roommate's side of the room.

And since you probably have more questions, he kept going:

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but at least the cat never found jizzshrooms.

Here's hoping Temi can still enjoy that fancy dinner after this.

7 of the best reactions from big YouTubers to The Fine Bros "React" meltdown.

0
0

There's a new target in the online outrage wars after YouTube titans TheFineBros—the people behind Kids React, Teens React, Elders React and YouTubers React—trademarked their "React" title and format for online videos and set up a licensing system where you can upload your own reaction videos to their network. And make them money. 

This really irritated people because A) "reaction videos" are a genre that greatly pre-dates TheFineBros, and B) there's a fear that people will be sued or merely have their videos deleted if they use the term "react" in the title. Also, people generally found the "we're building a community" tone of their announcement video to be at best saccharine and at worst disingenuous:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2UqT6SZ7CU

TheFineBros have since said they will not be going after anyone's reaction videos (although they did once criticize and encouraged their followers to criticize Ellen DeGeneres for exactly that), and that they're only trademarking the title format and specific stylistic aspects of their show. They used the example of "Britain's Got Talent" and "America's Got Talent," which is not unreasonable. The issue is that their titles are generic enough that many people fear that lots of amateur reaction videos could fall prey to legal action. The Bros, again, dispute this:

https://twitter.com/thefinebros/status/692794849934905345https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t-vuI9vKfg

This fight won't be answered here, but one thing is for certain, it's generated a LOT of reaction among YouTube's top personalities. Here are 5 of the most amusing reactions from high-profile outraged YouTubers:

1. First off is a clear and even-keeled response from Boogie2988, who goes beyond anger to help explain why it's so alarming to people and what the Bros could've done differently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-vhZoO7wM

2. This entry from FilmCow (the guy behind Llamas With Hats and other insane cartoon series) has a calm and reasonable take on the legal aspects of this, although clearly the "community" tone of the announcement rubbed him the wrong way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No_Vti186Tk

3. Master of the animated explainer video CGP Grey went full sarcasm in his parody of the announcement:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Zr7c-J6qE

4. Grey was no kinder in an equally-mocking "UPDATE" follow-up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dPnaAt-Rbs

5. Famed oddball video game reviewer Dunkey made a video of animals "reacting" to his channel, using the same exact P-in-P window as the React videos (though as a parody this is Fair Use anyway):

Get Well

Ohio politician says his opponent should rethink running because she's a mom.

0

Republican State Senator Tom Patton of Strongsville, OH is getting backlash for comments he made on the America's Work Force radio show on January 18. On the show, he questioned whether his main opponent for the seat, Jennifer Herold, would be able to handle the duties of a job in the state legislature due to her being a mom with young children. Surprisingly, this didn't go over well with some people, including Herold herself.

Tom Patton/Jennifer Herold

“The gal that’s running against me is a 30-year-old, you know, mom, mother of two infants,” he said on the show. “I don’t know if anybody explained to her you have to spend three nights a week in Columbus. So, how does that work out for you? I waited until I was 48, until my kids were raised, and at least adults, before we took the opportunity to try.” Ah, nothing like a man calling an adult woman who he barely knows a "gal." 

Herold, whose "infants" are aged one and three, issued a written response to Patton. She said that her family took her decision to run very seriously and went on: “We realize the sacrifice that is involved in holding such a position. However, Tom Patton has crossed a line by trying to turn the fact that I am a mother of two children into a negative campaign issue. It’s insulting for my opponent to suggest that motherhood is a liability. In fact, my experience as a mom is perhaps my greatest strength."

In a statement to the Cleveland "Plain Dealer" Patton apologized (kind of), saying his comments "appear to have been misunderstood" and that he "used a poor choice of words to express what [he knows] first-hand—raising young children and working is tough." 

Vanessa Hudgens wows in 'Grease: Live,' hours after the passing of her father.

Musical theater fans and frantic live-tweeters alike were blown away by Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo in Grease: Live Sunday night, her first high school musical since High School Musical. Her performance was especially remarkable under the circumstances. Hudgens' father, Greg Hudgens, passed away just the day before from stage 4 cancer at 64-years-old:

https://twitter.com/VanessaHudgens/status/693839722741780481https://twitter.com/VanessaHudgens/status/693839762327625728

More than any cast member, Hudgens' performance would be compared to the original, thanks to the long shadow cast by Stockard Channing's iconic performance. Hudgens shined, both paying homage and making the role her own.

Her "Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee" was perfectly sassy, making Rizzo the most charming bully.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6TVMkvkjAI&list=PLXd9aCB0yKuiCC4DJsQeEewLOjKwh0DMg&index=7

Even more impressive than hitting all the hilarious notes in "Sandra Dee" was her emotionally resonant performance of the song, "There Are Worst Things I Could Do." Arguably the best song in the show—which hints at rich interior lives of the Grease characters—Hudgens hit all the musical notes in perfect voice, and nailed the emotional notes, too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsXNyb44Jw&list=PLXd9aCB0yKuiCC4DJsQeEewLOjKwh0DMg&index=19

All of Twitter was wowed:

https://twitter.com/WValderrama/status/694038207948677120https://twitter.com/ashleytisdale/status/694005009525047298https://twitter.com/jenna_roa/status/694161779224506368https://twitter.com/Lin_Manuel/status/693984865419694081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/joshgad/status/694031205528801280

The Internet agreed that Hudgens would have made her father proud, and appreciated the dedication in his honor.

Chris Pratt wrote a very inspirational Instagram post for someone who hadn't slept in 80 hours.

On Thursday, Chris Pratt was scrolling through Instagram after about 80 hours of wakefulness and thought, "Hmm, I should share something intimate about myself." For many people this would be a recipe for disaster. For Pratt, it's the perfect condition to post something that'll help you face your own challenges.

Though everyone knows who he is these days, since Pratt is the leading man in not one, but two huge blockbusters (Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, respectively), he wasn't always so successful. Fans of Parks and Recreation knew him as the shlubby and childlike Andy Dwyer. Before that, he mostly played interchangeable jock douchebags in movies like Jennifer's Body and Wanted. And before that? Just another under-employed actor. But he didn't give up on the dream!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBCS7PoDHMX/

He writes:

It's 3:20am. I got picked up for work at 6:45am yesterday. I'm not good with math, especially after being up for approximately 61 hours but I think I've been up for over 77 hours. I did a table read for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 this morning and then shot all day on Passengers and just now wrapped some 144 hours later. Weirdly both films, which iI'l[sic] be shooting back to back, are being shot in Atlanta at Pinewood studios. We have the best crew. Total rock stars busting their asses. And the stuff we're shooting. My God. I can't wait for you to see it. I go back in in about 8 hours to do more. I am doing what I love. It doesn't feel like work. Even though it is. I'm having fun. I'm overcome with joy and gratitude. I felt like posting this to say to anyone out there chasing your dream... Fifteen years ago I felt the same passion I feel today, but I had very little opportunity. I had to hustle hard and go hungry. I had to eat sardines and figure out how to get gas money. And I never had a plan B. I never stopped believing. Ever. Don't give up. Apply constant pressure for as long as it takes. It will break before you do. Go get it.

Go get it.

Well-meaning clothing brand creepily obligates models to eat a meal in front of them.

0
0

British fashion line Rose & Willard makes some nice clothes, but it's their stance on models that makes them a cool brand. In an interview with The Times, founder Heidy Rehman stated that all contracts they have with models include a "non-negotiable clause" stipulating that models eat an actual meal during photo shoots. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAuLiTtKVhL/?taken-by=roseandwillard

"The model has not just to eat a meal but eat it in our presence. She's not going to get away with eating a slice of cucumber or throwing it away and saying, "'I'll eat it later,'" Rehman explained. Nothing builds up an appetite like your boss hovering over you. 

https://twitter.com/RoseandWillard/status/693724780952944640

This move is not the first by Rose & Willard towards promoting healthy body standards. According to Metro, the Rose & Willard website says it currently uses "professional woman" not "professional models" for their photos. "We believe they are attractive enough to present the aspiration necessary for marketing imagery and also women our customers can genuinely relate to."

https://www.instagram.com/p/BArrk5SqVrh/?taken-by=roseandwillard

At the very least, a lot of women can surely relate to how great that model's hair looks.

Leo DiCaprio vaping is the only interesting thing that happened at the SAG Awards.

On Saturday night, Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Screen Actors Guild award for his starring role in The Revenant. That wasn't the only exciting Leo news of the night, though—he also brought an e-cigarette with him and used it at his table during the ceremony, immediately catching the attention of the entire known universe.

What's eating Gilbert Vape?

There was no way this was going to go unreported. E! News referred to the actor's vape pen as his "best friend." Entertainment Tonight declared, "Only Leo could pull off vaping at a major awards show." Esquire agreed, asserting that Leo is the only man alive who could make vaping seem somewhat cool. 

The reactions on Twitter were even more fun.  

https://twitter.com/Max983FM/status/694152235287191552https://twitter.com/goldengateblond/status/693681981729611776https://twitter.com/jordanbelfortss/status/693622705455808512

This isn't the first time DiCaprio's vaping has been in the news—Miley Cyrus called him out in October for not sharing his vape pen with her, citing an "etiquacy" to e-cigarettes that he failed to uphold. One thing's for sure, though—get ready because vaping is going to be this spring's hottest new look. 

Disney characters redrawn in style of Tim Burton a good reminder that fairy tales are creepy.

0
0

Disney movies tend to ignore the darker side of fairy tales, but the original stories, like Grimm's, were parables meant to frighten children into behaving well. Moscow-based artist Andrew Tarusov successfully added some darkness back into these stories by re-imagining Disney movie posters in the eerie style of Tim Burton.

Really glad he didn't illustrate the "Bambi's mom dies" scene.

Tarusov told Mashable he created the pieces by starting with pencil and paper and then using Photoshop to color them in. Of course, Burton himself is no stranger to Disney, having done movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride for them.

More like Snow Black, am I right?

In an interview with HelloGiggles, Tarusov said “I love how Burton’s style looks vintage, chic, and cute all at the same time." Tarusov's illustrations, though definitely creepier than their original Disney counterparts, still manage to be pretty cute.
