Beyoncé Shuts Down Divorce Rumors With Symbolic Instagram Pic

by 4 mins ago

Divorce rumors are swirling around Beyoncé and Jay Z as they continue on their “On The Run Tour” but according to Beyoncé’s Instagram, she’s still part of a team.

While the singer is notoriously private about her personal life, even she couldn’t resist taunting her haters with a not-so-subtle message: she’s a Carter.

The pic shows Beyoncé in a Carter jersey that is, of course, the number four.

Anyone who is familiar with the mythology of Bey and Jay knows that this number is important to their relationship. They were both born on the 4th day of their respective birth months, and they were married on April 4th in 2008—4/4/08 (four times four is eight… you get the picture). The symbology with the number 4 goes on and on, but Beyonce seems to have made her point clear with a single picture.

Want to hear Beyoncé’s comments on the elevator fight? Then head right over to last Saturday night’s surprise “Flawless” Remix.

7 Selfies That We Hope Make Kim Kardashian’s Selfie Book

by 5 mins ago

Well, the queen of #selfies herself Kim Kardashian is officially publishing a book of, yup, selfies. Entitled Selfish, the book is coming out through Rizzoli’s Universe and will retail for $19.99.

According to Rizzoli’s website: “It will feature many never-before-seen personal images from one of the most recognizable and iconic celebrities in the world.” 352 of Kim’s selfies will be in the book, but the real question here is which ones will be included?

After all, Kim has hundreds of selfies to choose from—and we’re only talking about the ones we’ve actually seen posted to her social media feeds.

Surely the book will focus on the selfies that helped encapsulate big events from the life of Kim, Kanye and North in the last few years. With that in mind, here’s our picks for seven selfies that must be in “Selfish.”

1. Pregnant Kim selfie

No surrogacy rumors here—Kim happily shows off her baby bump! Kim’s pregnancy was a crucial step in the narrative that surrounded her romance with Kanye. It was the first sign that she was serious about this relationship. Motherhood also seemed like a huge move toward maturity for Kim.

2. Kim and Donatella Versace at the 2013 Met Gala selfie

A still very very pregnant Kim attended the Met Gala in 2013 with Kanye. While she was there, she took a selfie with Donatella Versace. If that’s not book-worthy, I don’t know what is. This was also a big fashion moment for Kim because she wore a form-fitting floral gown by Riccardo Tisci ...

Watch These Commuters Push Their Train To Save A Trapped Passenger

by 23 mins ago

A commuter’s worst fear is to be trapped by a train, and an Australian man found himself in that very situation this week. But instead of the nightmare situation turning fatal, the Perth man was able to escape unscathed due to the help of his fellow commuters.

This past Wednesday, Andy was waiting to get on the train when his foot slipped. While his leg was trapped between the platform and the train, the crowd realized what was happening and banded together to push the train. Scores of bystanders and Transperth rail staff physically rocked the train, getting it to move from its suspension enough for Andy to remove his leg.

Watching the happen is heart-stopping—if you’ve ever taken a train, the idea of missing the gap and being pinned has probably crossed your mind. But it’s seeing everyone around Andy joining together to save him that’s truly a beautiful, rare thing.

In a recent interview with PerthNow he explained his dilemma.

“The outcome could have been terrible, worse case scenario I could’ve lost my leg,” he said. “I was sort of a bit wobbly on my feet, it took me a while to sort of get my balance.”

Transperth spokesman David Hynes said his staff quickly directed the rescue.

“The man was freed safely and we handed him over to emergency services. “We understand that he was not badly injured because he stayed at the station and boarded a later train to the city,” he said.

The 29-year-old Andy has ...

You And Your Cat Can Attend The Feline Film Festival That’s Coming To Los Angeles

by 2 hours ago

Los Angeles is affirming its love for all things cat by hosting the LA Feline Film Festival this fall on September 21. Next to the proliferation of cat cafes, this is the most awesome feline-oriented news we’ve heard in a while!

The festival will be presented by Santa Monica-based company Organikat, a company that makes planet-friendly products for pets, and the Minneapolis’ Walker Art Center. Last year, the center developed the idea for a touring all-feline internet cat film fest—and since it sold out when it came to LA last year, they decided to throw one based there.

Basically, the feline film festival lets thousands of cat-lovers come together to watch hours of a-meow-zing internet cat videos on an 80 foot screen. From 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. there will also be food and beer trucks present, and hopefully you know, some cat food vendors.


Lil Bub

Of course, plenty of celeb kitties will be in attendance, including Lil Bub, Tara Hero Cat and Dusty Klepto Kitty.

Along with all this, there’s going to be opportunities to adopt cats from local no-kill shelters and a portion of ticket sales will be donated to participating cat rescue and adoption groups, including The Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats.

To totally make your Caturday, the festival will welcome cats on leashes or in a carrier. But sorry, no dogs allowed! Check out a clip from last year’s touring fest—cue cute ...

Selena Gomez Is The Ultimate Choice For The 2014 Teen Choice Awards

by 1 hour ago

By Britt Julious

Looks like Selena Gomez is about to receive the biggest honor that the Teen Choice Awards can bestow!

Following in the footsteps of mega-talented performers like Reese Witherspoon, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, E! News exclusively reports that Gomez will receive the Ultimate Choice Award during this Sunday’s 2014 Teen Choice Awards.

The award will be given in recognition of her “contributions to the entertainment world.” At this point, her long list of accomplishments includes the hit TV show “The Wizards of Waverly Place,” critically-acclaimed and experimental art films like Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers and of course, her 2013 debut solo album Stars Dance.

It’s been a bit of a tumultuous year for the 22-year-old singer and actress, which included a voluntary two-week stay in a treatment center for undisclosed issues. However, that clearly hasn’t affected the opinions of the TCA’s organizers or dampened Gomez’ spirits and drive. She’s busy at work on her second solo record.

Other faces scheduled to make an appearance include “The Fault in Our Stars” cutie Ansel Elgort, Ariana Grande and big-time Selena fan, Taylor Swift.

The 2014 Teen Choice Awards air this Sunday at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Adam Lambert Doesn’t Think Cultural Appropriation Is That Big Of A Deal

by 6 mins ago

Cultural appropriation is a sensitive topic. It’s spurred a ton of backlash lately, like when Khloe Kardashian decided it would be cool to wear a Native American headdress or when Pharrell also wore one on the cover of Elle.

Is it okay for people who aren’t of a specific culture to still use elements from it? Well, Adam Lambert thinks it isn’t as big a deal as some people make it out to be.

This week, he took to Twitter to discuss his thoughts on the appropriation of a slightly different strain: that of LGBT culture.

He began the discussion by writing about the blending of cultures:

The singer went on to write that as an artist, different backgrounds and cultures are celebrated:

The singer also posed a question:

Glamberts weighed in on both sides of the discussion. @JustAFanAL wrote, “hm, sure maybe. But being uneducated and ignorant about the culture your (sic) appropriating for your hipster benefits is distasteful.” Others agreed with Lambert, like @sabinnesteffana, who wrote “AMEN.”

Lambert, who’s been on tour with Queen this summer, acknowledged that people will have differing viewpoints on the topic, and that he is speaking from his own perspective.

LeVar Burton Challenges Kanye West To A Twitter Feud In ‘Tweeting Rainbow’

by 1 hour ago

With a Kickstarter campaign that succeeded in raising more than $5 million toward a “Reading Rainbow” app, what’s next for LeVar Burton in advancing the literacy of today’s youth? “Tweeting Rainbow,” of course.

On Thursday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Burton teaches children everything they need to know about everyone’s third favorite social media platform. The parody has everything you love about “Reading Rainbow,” but with an updated theme song and popular hashtags (#TBT, #YOLO) flashing behind Burton. Instead of reading a childhood classic, Burton scrolls his phone, reading celebrity tweets to children.

“Put ya face in the mayo,” he warmly reads Snoop Dogg’s tweet and starts a discussion about why anyone would want to do that. “So you can go blind?” one kid wonders.

The art of the favorite, retweet, and using 140 characters to share how you’re feeling are all explored, and they even go on a “Video Field Trip” to see how a tweet is made. One kid even garners a “favorite” from Burton with his suggestion that nap time should last forever.

“But you don’t have to take my word for it”, watch below:

Burton ends with a promise to start a Twitter fued with @KanyeWest. #Blessed.
