Move over fist-bumps and handshakes, there’s a new way to greet your bros: The Dick Graze. Channing Tatum, actor/dancer/stripper and now, amateur rapper, spits some rhymes to explain the more intimate (violating?) way you can say hello.

“I get a feeling when I see my homie lean in/ That’s because my hand’s about to touch his penis,” the actor hilariously raps in the video to promote the upcoming release of “22 Jump Street”. He then demonstrates the “new craze” by grazing guys’ penises. It’s awkward and inappropriate, yet we like to imagine this is the only way Tatum greets pal Jonah Hill.

And to make sure the ladies don’t feel left out, co-star Jillian Bell shows up to educate us on the “tit graze.”

We’ll be sticking to a friendly wave, but the 34-year-old actor should probably be on guard the next time he steps out: we’re betting some fans are eager to try this new greeting out.

But don’t get carried away: “It’s a graze, not a grab!”

We have been lied to. As Hello Kitty is about to celebrate her 40th anniversary, Sanrio revealed some shocking news: She is not a cat. What?!?

Apparently, the adorable girly Japanese mascot with Kitty in her name that adorns everything from young girl’s bedrooms to Avril Lavigne music videos is not in fact, feline.

Sanrio

This revelation about Hello Kitty, whose real name is Kitty White, happened when Christine R. Yano, an anthropologist who is curating for an upcoming Hello Kitty retrospective at the Japanese American National Museum, was corrected by Sanrio when she called the cute icon a cat.

“I was corrected — very firmly,” Yano revealed.”That’s one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty.”

I’m still not buying it, and frankly, I’m questioning everything in life. Next you’re going to tell me Mickey Mouse is a giraffe, and I don’t think I could handle it. Let’s look at this image of Hello Kitty.

Ignore those whiskers, cat ears and tail everyone because she is a little girl, remember. And now let’s look at this image of Charmmy Kitty.

We hoped, we prayed, but we really weren’t sure what would happen when Zac Efron nominated pal Robert Pattinson to take the Ice Bucket Challenge, because after all, the 28-year-old Brit is too cool and mysterious for any social media.

But luckily, Efron uploaded RPattz getting drenched in freezing H20 for a great cause on his YouTube channel. The “Twilight” heartthrob’s video is missing something crucial though- “I couldn’t find a bucket at such short notice, so I had to improvise.”

Instead of ice water, we see someone dump a pan of ice cubes on the actor’s head, with a dousing of water with a hose following. Pattinson then tries to adorably nominate Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska and Marilyn Manson while being pelted with more ice and a red solo cup. He might’ve broken “the rules” a little, but with that boyish charm we’ll let it slide-it’s for charity after all!

The actor closes with “I don’t have an Instagram, so you’re going to have to deal with this.”

I mean, I guess we are dealing OK.

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.

Gwen Stefani‘s 5-month-old Apollo Bowie Flynn is already living the life! The 44-year-old No Doubt singer shared a beautiful candid moment of her nursing her son by the majestic Swiss Alps on Instagram on Friday (July 25).

The mother of three, who has advocated for breastfeeding in public before, sits by the picturesque Switzerland roadside hunched over her swaddled baby looking relaxed and bearing a smile. Stefani captioned the precious photo with ‘Switzerland!!!!’ with a baby bottle emoticon.

The image has received hundreds of comments praising the mama for posting the photo.
“I love you even more for this picture! #breastfeeding #proud,” wrote Instagram user madamerebecca.

“Yay for breastfeeding picture! Amazing mama! Hope you’re enjoying your time in Switzerland!” Wrote user coclettey.

The new “The Voice” judge is currently on vacation with her husband Gavin Rossdale and kids in Europe, Stefani uploaded a photo of her in London earlier this week.

Has a new bromance between Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson been blossoming? The two Hollywood stars were seen Tuesday night outside Pinz Bowling Center in LA, appearing to be…having a ball.

Efron, who has been recently seen spending a lot of time with rumored lady love, Michelle Rodriguez, made some time for a hunky man-date which also included “The Lying Game” actor Ryan Rottman.

It’s no surprise the “Neighbors” and “Maps To The Stars” actors have become pals, both have the shared experience of being teen heartthrobs and have sought roles for a more mature audience. Plus, they practically have matching ensembles. A recipe for true friendship. May I suggest the “High School Musical” alum could help the “Twilight” star spruce up his dance moves on their next outing? The possibilities are truly endless for ZefPatz. Or should we go with PatzFron?

On Tuesday (July 15), Paris Hilton dropped the music video for “Come Alive”, perfectly capturing the dreamy, ethereal track by throwing a full-on fairytale rave.

The YMCMB signee invites us to a rainbow-colored world full of glitter, flower crowns and rainbow as she sings, “Come here dream girl, I’ll be your princess, whatever you choose, I’ll travel the world just to be with you.” Dressed in sequined gowns, she’s in full-on princess mode — even sporting giant angel wings and lounging on a cotton candy cloud.

But the image that really brings the dreams of every young girl alive? Paris cozying up to a unicorn and pets its rainbow hair like a Lisa Frank notebook brought to life.

“Come Alive” is the second single off Hilton’s upcoming sophomore album, which is set to release later this year.
