The 17 Weirdest Movie Scenes To Watch With Your Parents

by 5 mins ago

There’s nothing quite like a family movie night. Between mom’s homemade popcorn and getting the whole family together, the nostalgic pleasure of taking in some cinematic magic from the comfort of one’s home seriously can’t be beat.

BUT — and this is a major “but” — nothing can put a dent in family night quite like an awkward (usually sexual) scene creeping in to ruin the fun. From heartwarming love stories that took a terrible turn to porno films disguised as innocent cartoons, here are 17 scenes we watched with our parents that we really, really wish we hadn’t:

17. Jack Draws Rose, “Titanic”

Watching this with one’s dad as an 11-year-old… Yeah. Traumatizing.

16. Edward And Bella Break The Bed, “Twilight: Breaking Dawn”

Awkward only because of how much mom enjoyed it.

15. Ben Affleck Puts Animal Crackers In Liv Tyler’s Lady Parts, “Armageddon”

Weird, but also hilarious. How is that remotely sexual?

14. The Bikini, “Varsity Blues”

A movie about high school football. What could possibly go wrong?

13. Veronica Strips For Billy, “Billy Madison”

Yeeesh. This was a lot for a 9-year-old watching a PG-13.

12. Anything With Fat Bastard, “Austin Powers”

Same goes for the never-ending dick joke.

11. The Third Nipple, “Mallrats”

Boys will be boys?

10. Mila Pleasures Natalie, “Black Swan”

Even in adulthood, this never ceases to be awkward.

9. Buffalo Bill’s First Dance, “Silence Of The Lambs”

Where did the pee-pee go?

8. Cameron Gets Her Hair Did, “There’s Something About Mary”

99 Things More Likely To Kill You Than Ebola

by 9 mins ago

Ebola has killed thousands of human beings. It is an immensely serious threat, and public health agencies should do everything possible to contain this outbreak on an international scale. Pretending we’re immune to situations that affect the rest of the world — especially poorer parts of the world — is exactly what brought us to this point.

Nevertheless, it’s also true that the media loves scaring the hell out of everybody. SARS, swine flu, avian flu and other would-be pandemics all got similar 24/7 cable coverage, and most of the human race is still around. Panic isn’t going to help anyone except for CNN’s advertising executives.

So, while we’re all monitoring the story and nobody can predict the future, it’s not advisable to calm your nerves by guzzling booze, chain-smoking cigarettes and scarfing down butter-drenched comfort food. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent data from 2011, Americans currently have a greater chance of dying from…

1. Coronary artery disease (375,295 deaths)

2. Hypertensive heart disease (33,621 deaths)

3. Salmonella infections (44 deaths)

4. Viral hepatitis (7,850 deaths)

5. Tuberculosis (539 deaths)

6. Scarlet fever and erysipelas (4 deaths)

7. Meningococcal infection (86 deaths)

8. Septicemia (35,748 deaths)

9. Syphilis (45 deaths)

10. Arthropod-borne viral encephalitis (5 deaths)

11. HIV (7,683 deaths)

12. Malaria (3 deaths)

13. Unspecified infectious and parasitic diseases (5,753 deaths)

14. Cancer of lip, oral cavity and pharynx (8,657 deaths)

15. Cancer of esophagus (14,446 deaths)

16. Cancer of stomach (11,036 deaths)

Iggy Azalea Goes Totally ’80s For ‘Beg For It’ Cover Art

by 20 mins ago

Iggy Azalea took to Instagram on Friday (October 17) to reveal the cover art for her new single, “Beg For It,” featuring Danish singer , and oh my god it’s more ’80s than Lionel Richie interrupting a Jazzercise class to ask Molly Ringwald, “Where’s the beef?”

Iggy’s shoulder pads will make you “Beg For It.”

The Reclassified track — which the “Black Widow” rapper plans to debut with a performance on “Saturday Night Live” on October 25 — doesn’t sound particularly retro, at least not based on the snippet she previewed at a recent O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire concert.

But, who cares? The single cover is clearly Patrick Nagel-inspired, and that’s all that matters.

From the styling and the panther to all that purple, there’s definitely a heavy Patrick Nagel influence on the single cover art.

The artist, who died in ’84, was known for his color-blocked illustrations of highly sexualized, badass-looking female subjects.

He famously did the cover for Duran Duran’s 1982 album, Rio.

These All-Time Horrible Jokes Got People In Tons Of Trouble

by 27 mins ago

What’s the harm in making a few jokes? Typically, nothing…oh, you might hear groans or mock-offended shouts of “Too soon!” We’ve all laughed at something inappropriate. Still, think before you speak, because there’s a chance you could say something so incredibly offensive, your entire life will be over. Here are six times when people should’ve stuck to seriousness.

The guy who joked about flying with Ebola

Just last week, a US Airways passenger in Philadelphia joked, after a coughing fit while boarding the plane, “I have Ebola — you are all screwed.” With the highly-deadly disease on everyone’s mind, a compact flying tube was probably not the right venue for this sort of humor, and Hazmat-clad authorities came to escort him away. Other passengers booed him, and even the flight attendant told everyone, “I think the man who said this is an idiot.”

The publicist who failed miserably at public relations

Justine Sacco


Who can forget Justine Sacco, the P.R. flack who tweeted an unbelievably offensive AIDS joke while boarding a flight to Africa? Unbeknownst to her, it got thousands of retweets while she was in the air — and by the time Sacco landed in Cape Town, she’d been canned by her employer, IAC, which must have been the easiest business decision any company’s ever made.

‘Awkward’ Question: Is There A Second Child In Store For Jenna Hamilton’s Parents?

by 5 mins ago

In just a few short months, Lacey and Kevin Hamilton will watch their little girl Jenna graduate from high school (and maaaaybe go to college…). But if actress Nikki Deloach has her way, the young parents won’t have to submit to empty nest syndrome so quickly.

As “Awkward“‘s final season approaches, the show’s most maternal cast member has given some thought on how she’d like to see things in Palos Hills wrap up, and at the top of her list of dream scenarios is an addition to the Hamilton family portrait.

“I’ve always wanted Lacey and Kevin to have another baby,” Deloach told TVLine earlier this week. “That’s definitely on my mind in terms of stories. I want them to experience having a baby as adults, rather than as high schoolers. Let’s be real, Lacey’s meltdowns alone would make for good TV.” No arguments here! But would that mean J-Town’s sanctuary would be reconstructed into a nursery?!

KevLac2

And speaking of Jenna, Deloach hopes her televised daughter and Jenna’s on-and-off boyfriend Matty McKibben remain in each other’s lives, even if the roads they travel temporarily take them in different directions.

“There are actually two endings I’d be happy with: One of them would be both Jenna and Matty going to college and staying together,” Deloach shared. “The other…is if they decide to go to college and live their lives, then catch up with each other in five years and see what ...

Becky G ‘Can’t Stop Dancing’ To Her Flirty New Single: Listen Now

by 6 mins ago

Becky G had us “singing in the shower” and now she us so that we “can’t stop Dancing” — slow-dancing that is.

On Friday (October 17), the talented teen unleashed her latest, “Can’t Stop Dancing,” the mellow mid-tempo second single off her upcoming debut album. Becky leaves her rap skills behind on this one to show off her impressive vocals.

“Your lights are shining like the sun out tonight/ Just keep your body moving how I like/ Oh yeah, the music feels like paradise/ It can’t get any better,” she sings.

Becky teamed up with Dr. Luke for the track, and it’s pure pop with a beat that has a Caribbean-style flair. The teen sings about not wanting a dance to end, a feeling that most of us can relate to. The “Shower” singer also gets a little flirty, telling her partner “nothing is forbidden.”

The CoverGirl recently opened for Katy Perry on the Prismatic World Tour and was named one of TIME’s 25 most influential teens of 2014.

Christina Garibaldi has been an on-camera reporter for MTV News since 2011. When not interviewing or writing about her favorite stars, she keeps herself busy with baby animal videos and boy bands.

‘Star Wars’ Big Bad Emperor Finally Has A First Name

by 18 mins ago

At long last, the biggest outstanding question in the “Star Wars” universe has been answered: Emperor Palpatine’s first name is Sheev.

Oh, that wasn’t your biggest question? Really? Well, it got answered anyway, as the big bad leader of the Empire’s name was revealed as part of an excerpt from the upcoming novel “Tarkin: Star Wars*.”

The book, which hits stores November 4, focuses on the “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” character Grand Moff Tarkin, and his rise to power in the Empire (before ultimately being blown up in the first Death Star). During the course of the in-continuity book, it’s revealed for the first time that Palpatine is actually named, “Sheev Palpatine.”

Sheev Holt!

We won’t dwell on the fact that it sounds like the usually lisping emperor is mispronouncing the name Steve, and instead can speculate that – like most of the names in “Star Wars” – it has a pretty obvious double meaning. Specifically the villainous Sith characters don’t have the most subtle hidden meanings ever: Darth Maul, Darth Sidious and even Darth Vader (loosely German for “Dark Father”) all have very surfacey analogues.

So if we were to venture a guess, Sheev isn’t secretly “Steve Palpatine,” it’s probably short for Shiva, the Hindu deity who is both benefactor and destroyer. In “Star Wars,” Palpatine – or Sheev, if you’re friendly with him – initially poses as the savior of the galaxy, before ultimately turning out to be the villainous Darth Sidious.

Missy Elliott Provided The Soundtrack At Alexander Wang’s H&M Launch

by 20 mins ago

When Alexander Wang throws a party, you know there’s going to be music involved. Just at his Spring 2015 show, the designer managed to seat Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Miguel, Tyga, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, and Die Antwoord all within nine seats. If that’s how he throws a runway show, imagine how he throws a party. Or, y’know, we can just tell you: At his H&M launch, Wang’s guestlist included Mary J Blige, Solange Knowles, his favorite rap upstart Sharaya J, and the great Missy Elliott to soundtrack the affair.

Somehow Wang managed to outdo the clothing with the music. Missy Elliott, who trotted around the party in a Nike Air hoodie and incredible “You Cant Workout With Us” snapback—later changing into one that said Wang along with a bedazzled pullover by the designer—performed her best of, including “Get Ur Freak on,” “Lose Control,” and, of course, “Work It Again.”

Also in attendance were actresses Jessica Chastain, Dakota Fanning, Eddie Redmayne, and Kate Mara. The whole star-studded affair was a reminder of Wang’s relevance: He isn’t just a celebrity in the fashion world, he’s at the nexus of pop culture.

Is J.K. Rowling Building Her Own Personal Hogwarts?

by 30 mins ago

If you can’t actually be a wizard (it would appear that science is still working on that one), the next best thing is slowly building up a wizarding empire all around yourself.

That appears to be what “Harry Potter” scribe J.K. Rowling is doing, considering paperwork filed stating her intentions to build an undeniably Hagrid-like hut on the edge of the Edinburgh property on which her castle sits. Oh, oh, oh yeah, didn’t we mention? Rowling lives in a mansion that’s basically a castle. She bought it in 2001. We repeat: she lives in a castle and is famous for writing books that take place in a magical castle. Just. Saying. (Also, if we’d written “Harry Potter” we’d totally buy ourselves a castle and declare ourselves queens of everything, so no shade.)

And now she’s using that “Fantastic Beasts” paper to build her very own Hagrid hut, it would appear.

Yes, the Telegraph nabbed a request to build on Rowling’s property, describing a “circular structure, open to the front, with a stone bench and slate roof.”

Hagger? Is that you? Rock cakes for everyone!
