You may have known that octopuses can change colors better than chameleons, open locks, scare grown men, enact daring escapes from aquarium tanks, and even come onto land to hunt crabs—but did you know they can also murder seagulls? Right in front of kids? Listen, if you don't want to watch that, don't click on this video. Frankly, if you don't want to watch that, it's unclear how you got to this article, but as a last warning, this video contains exactly what has been advertised: a seagull being dragged down to its death in front of some kids on a dock.
"Yeah, she's great, she's a talent," Parton says about her goddaughter. "She's deep, she's smart. She's sensitive. She's gone through a lot, she's been put through a lot. She's put herself through a lot." (She's put herself through getting rightfully criticized for making fun of Jodie Sweetin, that's for sure).
The interviewer then asked Parton if she was happy that Cyrus and Hemsworth had resumed their romance, to which Parton replied, "Yes, I do. I was really happy to hear that they had gotten back together." So, there you have it. She's as honest about celebrity relationships as she is about her plastic surgery.
When people refer to the sea of political candidates, they aren't usually referring to a sea made up entirely of one candidate: in this case, a Bernie Sea-anders. The folks over at Mashable followed in the popular "Hey, can you find this thing?" trend by hiding another tufty-haired guy, Back to the Future's Doc Brown, among the Bernie brigade. Now someone just needs to make a Donald Trump one with Biff.
Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels raised the stakes for the season finale of her reality show, Just Jillian, and that doesn't mean that she came up with some weird stake-lifting exercise (even though that would be totally great for your core). Rather, Jillian made a special video that she screened for her partner, Heidi Rhoades, that combines photos, tear-inducing declarations of love, and a lens flare, all leading up to one question: "Will you marry me?"

The answer, of course, was yes. Otherwise, that season would end on a really weird note. Michaels proceeded to put rings on both Rhoades's finger as well as her own.
What will Michaels do to end the next season? Divorce Rhoades, then remarry her? Don't worry, reality TV isn't that cruel. Well, at least this show isn't.
After an unintentionally comical intro where a moderator called Hillary"the protagonist," this debate dived right into substantive issues of immigration, Wall Street, and tax policy. Later, nostalgia took hold as old footage of Bernie praising Fidel Castro came into play and Hillary reminisced about how Hillarycare almost happened. These are the 27 funniest reactions to the Florida #DemDebate!
Daisy Ridley, also known as the beloved "Rey" in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, posted an open letter to her critics on Instagram on Thursday, effectively shame-shaming Internet trolls who body-shame women online.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BCvzkLGlE4L/
The text of the open letter reads:
What’s weird is most of the time I see gorgeous messages from people around the world. People who relate to something in Rey they haven’t found in a female character before. People who’s daughters now think they can do things without the aid of a man, but who wouldn’t be ashamed to ask for help. People who loved that The Force Awakens has multiple incredible female characters. It is much more hurtful to continue to slate other women than BE a woman, BE a character, BE whoever you want to be. I’m just a normal girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, just like Rey. I will not apologise for how I look, what I say and how I live my life cause what’s happening inside is much more important anyway and I am striving to be the best version of myself, even if I stumble along the way. It seems apt I get tagged in this a day after I received misogynistic comments on my #IWD post. For all of you who celebrate each other, celebrate the ones you love, love yourselves, work hard, are kind, thank you for your continued support and the social media love. For anyone who has a problem with ANYONE in life, be them someone you know or someone you don’t, remember that expression: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Kindness isn’t going to cure the world of all its awfulness but it’s a good place to begin.
The #IWD (International Women's Day) post Ridley mentioned in that open letter is a meme she instagrammed on March 8.
The image showed Ridley as Rey, with a cartoon speech bubble stating: “I can’t believe the unrealistic expectations I’m setting for young girls. Who cast me anyway? Don’t they know real women have curves?” Underneath it, Ridley responded: "'Real women' are all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, all levels of brave, have families, don't have families. I am a 'real woman' like every other woman in this world."
Ridley ended up deleting that post, because she'd accidentally included the name of the person who first posted the meme. The caption for her open letter post refers to that error.
Daisy Ridley might not have curves to qualify her as a "realwoman," but she's for sure got the strength of one.

And really, enough with the shaming, already. People look how they look, and it's no one else's business or concern. There's no need to hot-shame John Boyega or fur-shame Chewbacca or round-shame BB8.
Still okay to awful-shame Jar Jar Binks, though, because come on.
Ah, another day, another chapter in the ongoing story of Kim Kardashian's nude selfie: Wednesday on Twitter, Bette Midler challenged Kim Kardashian to put her money where her boobs mouth is, and use the publicity the selfie has created to raise funds for charity. Midler even offered to match donations two to one.
In her obviously photo-shopped tweet, Midler holds a cardboard sign in front of her, bearing the words "Like Kim…put your selfie to work for a good cause. Join me www.crowdrise.com #stagesforsuccess." In the background, you can see a glimpse of what may or may not be Midler's backside.
But hold up, this offer isn't for just any charity—it's for Midler's own charity, Stages For Success, which raises money for public school auditoriums for kids who want to perform. The text of the tweet includes a direct link to the charity.
Still, the whole situation is a little confusing. Who is supposed to be sending nudes to whom at this point? People should send their own nudes to Kim? Or to Bette? And just how will that raise money? Send Kim's nude to Bette? She already has it. Send nudes directly to the charity? Is Bette Midler going to double the nudes? What even is going on anymore?
As of yet, Kardashian hasn't responded to Midler. Or posted any more nudes.
To insert herself into the conversation, reality star/talk show host/rock star wife Sharon Osbourne recreated the selfie, with the same pose, lack of clothes, and even a similar iPhone.
This Wednesday night, Late Show hostStephen Colbert found it ridiculously hard to believe Bernie Sanders’ claim that he only smoked marijuana twice. “I don’t think this admission is on brand for Bernie. Senator, you do know who your supporters are,” Colbert said. “I will tell you this much: They have smoked marijuana twice…since I started this sentence.”
Colbert was responding to Sander's confession at a Michigan rally yesterday when the Democratic presidential candidate admitted: "I've done marijuana twice in my life when I was very young."
Drop that dank for a sec and watch the video, below.
https://youtu.be/xnSbHaIG4j4
"If we pass the dutchie on the left-hand side, the bottom 10% of the people are getting 80% less dutchie than the elite 1% on the left-hand side," Colbert hilariously imagined the senator expressing. "I promise that in my administration, there will be equal redistribution of dee dutchie."
Maybe Sanders was trying to cop bud in this viral video of him running cheetah-like to catch a train? It's all alright senator, you can babysit that loud for however long you want on your porcelain pipe.
Melissa McCarthy, comedic genius and star of the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, graces the April cover of Redbook and in an interview shared some non-funny but still excellently quotable lines about body image. McCarthy, whose first fashion line debuted in 2015, had a few choice words for non-feminists and made it clear that she's not a fan of those popular "Who wore it better?" polls.
McCarthy posing in a dress she designed because she can do everything.
"It just sounds so ill-informed," she said of celebrities who claim to not be feminists, a group that for some reason includes Meryl Streep. "Do you think women should be paid less? You don't believe in equality for women? I think people have worked hard to put a negative spin on the word."
Speaking of inequality, McCarthy spoke at length about negative body comparison.
With women, there's this constant weird cultural thing where we're always supposed to be comparing ourselves with one another. Who wore it best? Whose butt's better? Instead, how about if everyone wins? How intensely boring would it be if we were all the same?
McCarthy is right: it would be quite uninteresting if everyone were identical. Did that episode of The Fairly Odd Parents where Timmy wished everyone to be the same teach the world nothing?
McCarthy looking at Chris Hemsworth in the only way he can be looked at.
Unlike some other non-committal celebrities, McCarthy comes out strong as a supporter of all women's bodies. She should hang out with Daisy Ridley.
There's an epidemic in our country of girls and women feeling bad about themselves based on what .5% of the human race looks like. It starts very young. My message is that as long as everybody's healthy, enjoy and embrace whatever body type you have.

McCarthy's sentiment is clear: everybody's butt is the best, and other stuff.
According to People, Kylie Jenner went to Orlando, Florida for a Sugar Factory appearance, but the 18-year-old headed down a few days early in order to take a ton of Snapchats and Instagrams with 26-year-old boyfriend, Tyga. While exploring Orlando's Universal Studios, Kylie did things like snuggle with Tyga.
A second impetus for the trip to Universal was actually cute, in a non-vomit-inducing way: Jenner surprised her friend's little sister with a visit to the amusement park.

stole @jordynwoods mini me out of her bed this morning! She's never been on a plane! And she still doesn't know where she's going. Hehe she was suppose to run the mile today at school. #hookie
Chances are the little girl's school now knows she's not home sick.
While in Florida, Jenner wore a shirt that Remezcla reported was not her most well-received fashion choice.
Thanks to a vicious, computer-generated bear who mauled his character in The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio finally got his coveted Oscar statuette. For legit bear-attack survivor, Allena Hansen, she found the scene to be hilariously preposterous. She described her frightful injuries to ABC News in the video, below.
https://youtu.be/0xWLBuJXx78
According to UPROXX, the 64-year-old Californian claimed that she was violently assaulted by a bear on her ranch in 2008. The bear left her without a nose, ears, and 14 teeth. As a result of the attack, Hansen went through many years of rehab and countless surgeries.
Comparing her serious injuries to Leo’s, she told the Daily Mail: “As you can see from the pictures of me when I was taken to ER, Leo got off extremely lightly indeed. She added: “It struck me as risibly faked.”
Hansen managed to escape from the bear—she struck its eye with her thumb nail and her two huge dogs helped scare him off with their barking.
Well, at least Leo got the Oscar—it's good for his sense of humor.
It has been a little over a year since #TheDress shattered long-held beliefs of an objective reality, and the aftershocks are still being felt. The Dress debate turned into a partisan issue, separating all Americans into allegiances to White and Gold or Blue and Black. That debate trickled into a real debate, when the ambiguous color of Bernie Sanders' suit became the trending topic of the latest Democratic Debate, despite the fact that he and Hillary were discussing actually important issues like immigration and climate change.
Brown vs. Blue is the New White & Gold vs. Blue & Black is the new civil discourse.
On Wednesday's The Daily Show, Trevor Noah and Jordan Klepper had a look at Donald Trump using a press conference to sling several of the products that carry his name. Trump did this in response to Mitt Romney slamming him in a speech, which included mentioning several of his failed business endeavors. Trump is always on the defensive, and insists that all of his products are successful.
This, of course, was an invitation for The Daily Show to have a closer look:

It sounds like there aren't enough bottles of Trump water in the world to wash off all the lies about the rest of the products.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. And in Stephen Colbert's case, it was being ambushed with a surprise make out with Mama Gump herself, Sally Field. Colbert was visibly flustered, but Sally was as cavalier as a millennial ensconced in hookup culture: "I've been kissing guys on the screen for the past 53 years of my life, what's the big deal?" Dayum.
At the launch event for the UN's HeForShe Arts Week on March 8, actors Emma Watson (the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador) and Forest Whitaker (the UNESCO Special Envoy for Peace) talked about the differences between how women and men are typically treated all around the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve_q8F81yqw
Watson spoke a bit about how her transition into adulthood was treated differently from that of her male Harry Potterco-stars (at around the 10:23 mark in the video). She recalled her eighteenth birthday, where paparazzi lay on the sidewalk and took pictures up her skirt as she came out of her birthday party. English tabloids published the photos on their covers the next morning. "If they published the photographs 24 hours earlier they would have been illegal, but because I turned 18 they were legal."
She continued, "Obviously, Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint], who are my male co-stars, don't wear skirts but I think that's just one example of how my transition into womanhood was dealt very differently by the tabloid press than it was for my male counterparts."
HeForShe is a new program from UN Women that aims to use the arts as a tool in working towards gender equality. Regrettably, the first initiative is not make it legal to kick any photographer who lays on the ground underneath a woman in order to get an upskirt shot.
