Pumpkin spice season may come and go, the sun may go behind clouds and your jeans might not always fit, but there’s one thing that will always be there for you: “Friends.” No, not your actual friends (humans are fickle), but the 10 seasons of the bygone sitcom, which airs for roughly 25 hours a day in reruns, if only you know where to look.

In addition to the omnipresent syndication, the show’s fandom has enjoyed two huge announcements in the past two days: 1. The announcement of a Central Perk pop-up shop in New York (you can sit on the couch!!); 2. a reunion mini-sode on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel.

In light of the latter, we got to thinking about what our favorite group of huge apartment-inhabiting pals have been up to in the past 10 years. Where are the friends now? (Don’t forget, by rule of Friends Penal Code Section 7 Bulletpoint Whatever Whatever Just Handle It, since more than a third of the original “Friends” core cast was present, last night’s reunion plotline was technically canon.)

Phoebe Buffay

Despite her decade of marriage with Mike and the love she feels for their child, Phoebe somehow always feels she’s always stuck in second gear. She’s shaved her head, swapped the guitar for an electric and eliminated chia seeds from her diet in an attempt to shake things up. Somehow, she feels a strange desire for Ross and his legendary lovemaking.

Monica Geller

Monica lives happily ...

Ever have those moments where you’re like, oh, a rainbow, so nice. So great. Let me grab my camera and just film this rainbow out my window for a few minutes and contemplate how lovely life and nature and the universe are.

You’re not alone! The person who shot the below video also had this line of thought and snapped up a camera, ready to capture nature’s majesty.

It was all going great until nature’s majesty basically exploded in front of this person when lightning struck freakishly close to the camera. Yikes!

Check out this zen moment gone totally, hilariously wrong below.

If you haven’t had many thoughts in your life surrounding topiary, the art of sculpting and forming trees and their branches into lifelike shapes, that’s about to change.

Every year in springtime, Disney’s Epcot theme park presents the International Flower and Garden Festival. A popular attraction during the celebration is always the park’s tremendous topiary in the shape of iconic Disney characters. The sculptures are meticulously planned and produced, to the delight of fans everywhere.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up nine of our favorites found on the web. Visit the links in each picture’s description to learn more.

Lady And The Tramp

No word yet on trees’ preference for spaghetti.

Lumiere And Cogsworth

The candle-tree interaction on this one might prove to be a little tricky.

Mary Poppins

Also in that magic carpetbag: mulch.

Beauty And The Beast

It’s like the song says: Tale as old as time, see them in this treeeeeeee!

Prince Charming And Cinderella

It only makes sense that if she rode to the ball in a pumpkin, she’d end up as a tree, right?

Simba And Rafiki

Yes, Simba, you get everything the light touches…and the light is touching this topiary as well, so there’s that.

Bambi And Pals

Joy in a post-hunter world.

Mike

Our beautiful campus here at Monsters U includes the most ridiculous topiary renderings of students ...

You have a working heart, so of course you’re super obsessed with “Silver Linings Playbook” and will ship Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence’s characters until the cows come home. Of course. So what if we told you that Lawrence and Cooper had fallen in love on camera again?

Well, we are telling you that. And it’s real. And there are pictures.

In March 2012, ASLP (“After Silver Linings Playbook,” for the less savvy), Lawrence and Cooper shot “Serena” in the Czech Republic under director Susanne Bier. Based on the Ron Rash novel of the same name, Lawrence plays a Southern belle, Serena, in ’20s North Carolina, and her husband, played by Cooper, is a timber magnate. When Lawrence’s character is unable to get pregnant, she begins a downward spiral.

Though there isn’t yet a U.S. release date, the film hits U.K. theaters on October 24. A release here can’t be too far off.

Check out the very first pic of Lawrence in the movie, debuted today by stylist.co.uk.

We’ve all asked ourselves this question at least once in our lives: Why would you ever possibly recycle your cans when you could make tiny, intricately detailed pop culture sculptures out of them instead?

Or, at least, you will have asked yourself that question at least once after you see these pics of Japanese artist Makaon’s work.

Props to Laughing Squid for highlighting the artist’s supercool creations, such as Tin Can Batman (we know he’s made of aluminum, we just like the way it sounds, ooookay):

The StormtroopBEER:

And the one we like to call the metal Woody:

So what have you turned your trash into lately?

Kim Kardashian certainly wouldn’t be described as “broke,” but soon she’ll be spending some time with two girls who are.

TVLine reported that Kardashian will appear as a guest star in the season four premier episode of CBS’s “2 Broke Girls.”

Michael Patrick King, who is the executive producer for the show, said that Kardashian will play herself, showing up at the cupcake shop owned by Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs). Knowing what kind of a boost she could give their small business, the girls are desperate for a visit from the celeb.

Don’t worry, though, the show’s usual snark was not sacrificed to please Kardashian.

“There are the typical ’2 Broke Girls’ jokes all about [the Kardashians] in the episode,” King told TVLine. “So it’s fun to see someone have a great sense of humor about herself. She read the script, she thought it was funny and she came. We could’ve [shot] the exact same [episode] without her — but she was the cherry on top.”

Kardashian has already filmed her scenes.

The episode will air Monday, October 27.

OK, there have been so many ALS Ice Bucket Challenges already, and there are many more still in our future, but you have to admit that Seth Meyers’ iteration is pretty baller.

Meyers hosted last night’s Emmy Awards, and immediately after wrapping up the show, decided to cross the Bucket Challenge off his personal bucket list.

His “Late Night” show team caught the action on Instagram.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be an Ice Bucket Challenge without extending the dare to others (them’s the rules), and Meyers is nothing if not a rule-abiding citizen, so of course he chose the best person ever to challenge. Who could it be? Spoiler alert: It’s Vladimir Putin. Sorry, couldn’t wait for you to find out on your own.
